They were basically all straights, and this time, the choices were far fewer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only four options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please choose one of the following effects:】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【1: Quality Upgrade: Triggers when the three dice contain two prime numbers. Effect: When calculating completion rewards, if there are items, sequences, or facilities, one of them will trigger a quality upgrade, increasing its quality grade.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【2: Balanced Leap: Triggers only when the points are one, three, five, or two, four, six. Effect: After this option triggers, it will stably add +2 based on the previous level, lasting five times. It will become invalid if the current level exceeds 90. However, it can be exchanged for any other effect.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【3: Peerless Under Heaven: Triggers when the points of the three dice are all odd and all different. Effect: After clearing the level, significantly increase the acquisition of unique items, unique sequences, or facilities with a maximum bunker capacity of one. If a certain type of technology is obtained, that technology can no longer be obtained by other tower climbers.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【4: Three Begets Myriad Things: (Triggers when at least one of the three dice shows a three and the sum is a multiple of three. Effect: When the number of items you have equipped is three or a multiple of three, their effects will be amplified. This includes special items and invalid items; the item count is determined solely by the number of items used in the item slots.)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had unlocked two new dice options: Balanced Leap and Peerless Under Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Highs and Balanced Leap were both used to increase levels, which surprised Wen Xishu. Would anyone actually choose these two options?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed that the number one person in the Slaughter Tower, Xun Hui, was stuck at around level 50. If he were to get stuck at this level as well, could he use the dice to force a breakthrough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, the price of a forced breakthrough might not be bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Begets Myriad Things was quite good. If he didn't carry Tang Rui's letter, Wen Xishu would have exactly three items right now. One was the Scorpio's Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Blade, one was Wen Renjing's Gradient Indifference, and the third was the Forgot-to-Bring-Key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, Wen Xishu felt that he didn't seem to need Three Begets Myriad Things; after all, it wasn't a permanent amplification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped dwelling on this question; he was now very interested in the Peerless Under Heaven option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I'm climbing the tower, I naturally assume I can clear it. It's hard to say which is better between Quality Upgrade and Peerless Under Heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't agonize over it. When both were equally attractive... then choose the new over the old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose Peerless Under Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making his choice, Wen Xishu entered the rest area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anyone from the Xishu Divine Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm at the fifth level, doing the Southeast Asian small fishing village curse quest. Looking for a team from the Xishu Divine Sect. I am proficient in washing, cutting, and blowing. Welcome to find me at the first level of the bunker. Washing and cutting is 10 yuan, blowing is 300. Free for Xishu Divine Sect members!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a newly promoted member of the Xishu Divine Sect! Begging the elders to team up with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big shots, the stimulus policy for the Ghost Tower has been around for a while. Can anyone teach me how to survive the Squid Game on the third level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't believe that guy on the second level, he's not from the Xishu Divine Sect, I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike last time, Wen Xishu noticed that there were quite a few shouts this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people exploring the Ghost Tower was increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how dangerous the Ghost Tower was, under the stimulus of the policy, there would always be brave souls. And this time, in many people's shouts, the Xishu Divine Sect was actually mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu appeared in the central area this time, at the 10-10 Heavenly Origin position of the rest area. His mission this time was to head to the eighth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level wasn't actually very high, but Wen Xishu still didn't expect that good luck had favored him once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't jump directly to the maximum value of 14 levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also led to Wen Xishu meeting an acquaintance this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice came through the iron mask, sounding a bit muffled. Wen Xishu looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zheng Zai, it's you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's me, it's me! What a coincidence! Brother Wen, I didn't expect you to be here! I... wait, we aren't on the same mission, are we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to meet Zheng Zai here really surprised Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Wen Xishu was more curious about was why Zheng Zai was able to challenge the eighth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zheng Zai was at the same rest area spawn point as him, it meant Zheng Zai was also on the eighth level, just perhaps with a different mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to speak when someone suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This friend wearing an iron mouth mask, you called him Brother Wen, did I hear that right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man speaking was a one-eyed man, but he was quite particular; a monocle covered his single eye, but the scar on his left eye was too obvious and long, and the lens didn't cover it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the man was a woman holding a dagger, which looked like some kind of item. Anything that could be brought into the rest area must be an item from one's own item slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many who pronounce it that way. Is it the 'Wen' from culture, or the 'Wen' from Wen Renjing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's appearance really struck a chord with Wen Xishu; she was a 9.5 out of 10, like Quiet from Metal Gear. She was wearing brown silk stockings and was dressed lightly. However, her features were those of a Russian girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was by no means reasonable attire. In reality, there was no such thing as the less you wear, the higher the critical hit rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the man and the woman seemed very concerned about Zheng Zai's \"Brother Wen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you guys start by talking about your mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were actually about twenty other people around. These people also cast their gazes over one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were not standing with Zheng Zai and this couple; they were just watching Wen Xishu from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wondering if this person was related to that Wen Xiange of the Xishu Divine Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu also discovered clues through the positioning of these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai and this couple should all be on the same mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood very close together, while the people around them were on other different missions; some were alone, and some were gathered together but separated from other groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am indeed surnamed Wen, my ID is Wen Xishu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people around even rolled their eyes. Only Zheng Zai had a natural expression, feeling secretly pleased inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being arranged by the Academy, Zheng Zai already knew that Brother Wen was the famous Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Self-exposing that he was Wen Xishu, yet almost no one around believed it, which actually satisfied Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like walking down the street and saying your name; if the name happens to be the same as a name that everyone has never seen but was once sensational, people are more willing to think it's a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zheng Zai, what is your mission this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai still hadn't taken off his iron mask, but it looked like he wasn't as ridiculously craving meat as last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be gradually able to control this sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm on the eighth level, the mission keywords are Great Inventor and Wonder Museum; this couple is too. The three of us are planning to team up,\" Zheng Zai said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was shocked; it really was such a coincidence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was actually on the same mission as him for the second time. He originally thought it was just the same level, but now it seemed his fate with Zheng Zai was not shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Wen Xishu's mission description this time, it was as follows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Some works in this world are only cared about by people after death. He once went everywhere to promote his works, saying they would come in handy during the apocalypse; he even made them into small gifts to give away for free. But people just laughed at him.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【His heart was very strong, but he was never understood because of the various strange items he made and the various bizarre remarks he told. Geniuses are always lonely, and so are madmen.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【He eventually moved into a mental hospital. When the apocalypse came, the mental hospital where he was located became a place that everyone desperately wanted to swarm into. As if it were the world's only paradise.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【People didn't care that he died, nor did they care about his final last words—remember to give me a five-star review.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please go to the Wonder Item Museum decorated in the mental hospital. If you can leave alive after identifying at least twelve items, it will be considered a successful clearance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This round of missions will temporarily increase the magic resistance requirement for remarks, but will lower the magic resistance requirement for rule tolerance. And if this mission is successfully cleared, memories of some exhibits will be erased.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【We look forward to you identifying the most valuable items and, fulfilling his true wish.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the mission this time. Wen Xishu's habit was to interpret the mission, and he first felt a sense of awe for the scene of this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mental hospital...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that these two words could be combined to form an area made him feel it was crazy in itself. And the content of exploring this level was to identify items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Identifying items, and it even involved survival; one would think this identification process was also very twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more teammates, the lower the mission difficulty, after all... assuming there were twelve teammates, then each person would only need to identify one to clear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wen Xishu was also glad that he could participate in this mission as a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So now, our team has four people. You two shouldn't mind, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's expression eased a lot:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mind, my ID is Wang Ying, nicknamed One-Eyed Eagle. Is your name really Wen Xishu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I have the same name as that very famous guy in the bunker. You can go in and check; my name doesn't even have any symbols, you could say my name is exactly the same as his.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying was a little disappointed; according to the naming rules, it was impossible for the names to be exactly the same, at most it was a high-quality imitation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true, how could that legend be so young. You can reach the eighth level, so this isn't your first time exploring the Ghost Tower. We welcome you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my junior sister, named Aspasia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two from any organization?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, we are from the Stone Gambling Society.\" Wang Ying was quite proud when mentioning the Stone Gambling Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked at Zheng Zai, and Zheng Zai understood immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the Stone Gambling Society is a very powerful organization. It is said that only those who have successfully survived three times in the Slaughter Tower or the Ghost Tower are qualified to join. Members of the Stone Gambling Society sometimes take on missions from the Security Bureau. The leader is a super expert ranked sixth on the Slaughter Tower leaderboard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A civilian mercenary organization, Wen Xishu understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Admirable, admirable. Why did you two come to the Ghost Tower? Is your organization opening up a new field?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can be considered a response to policy. My kill value limit has already reached 200. Let me say this first: since we are forming a team, there must be a team leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My luck is slightly better than Aspasia's; this is already my fifth time ascending the Weird Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying said this while flashing his wristwatch. The number on it was four. If this time were included, it would be the fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My anti-magic value is 9 points. In the previous four tower ascents, I averaged two points of gain each time. I consider myself the highest in our team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai actually also had 9 points, but he didn't contend:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen... what do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's anti-magic value was 19 points, a gap so large that he could interpret twice as many notes as these people, and his tolerance for rules was much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't contend either:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've only ascended the tower three times, and the levels were quite low. The total task completion rate isn't even as high as my first ascent. It is naturally most appropriate for you to be the team leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Aspasia and Wang Ying knew that since this person's anti-magic value wasn't even as high as a first-time ascent, he had at most seven points of anti-magic value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't look down on him in their hearts, but they completely dispelled their doubts about whether this person was Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai had a mindless admiration for Wen Xishu: Brother Wen is truly humble and low-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like it's just the four of us, right? Shall we get started?\" Wen Xishu suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Three Towers, just getting it done was enough. He never liked to dawdle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Ying still said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just arrived, let's wait a bit longer. You just arrived too; we can stay here for at least forty minutes. If you can't sit still, go walk around and see if you can gather some information about the rest area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can get one or two more teammates in these few dozen minutes, our chances of winning will be greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying's suggestion was correct. Wen Xishu felt it made sense, so he didn't say anything more:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go take a look. I hope we get new teammates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he had no expectations for teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, Wen Xishu's definition of teammates was—meat shields, straw effigies. They were just props used to test various rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't admit to himself that he viewed some teammates as friends. But whether he truly thought so in his heart, Wen Xishu wasn't sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wen Xishu really walking toward the surroundings, Zheng Zai followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn't finished their conversation yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen... Brother, calling you that, it's not offensive, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was still very happy. His appearance did attract a lot of attention, but he had already become quite accustomed to the gazes of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are older than me, so calling me that is fine. You should know my true identity, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I got out, I was actually captured by people from the Bunker Anquan Bureau shortly after... I even endured an interrogation. But don't worry, Brother Wen, I didn't confess anything. I hate those guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally thought they would embezzle my merit points and then lock me up, but a teacher from the Three Towers Academy actually stepped forward. That teacher said I was a specially hired teacher for the Three Towers Academy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was very surprised at the time. Later, I asked that teacher, and he said his name was Jia Baer, and he also confirmed that I was indeed a teacher at the Three Towers Academy, only the new campus was still under construction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, don't you think that's amazing! I'm wondering, was this you stepping in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert had Jia Baer hire Zheng Zai as an academy teacher? A new campus... not yet built?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combining this with Albert urging him to solve the mystery of the academy's treasure not long ago, Wen Xishu guessed in his heart: could it be that he intended to invite Zheng Zai to serve as a teacher at the Weird Tower Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... didn't seem impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was already somewhat accustomed to and synchronized with the Old Madman's unconventional ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It wasn't me who stepped in. I said it before: you have to persist in living. If you live, your luck will eventually improve. See, life isn't always bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai nodded very vigorously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like this era!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Wen Xishu also liked this era; as long as you were willing to work, the path for upward mobility was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zheng Zai recounted his tower-climbing experiences from the past few days. He went to a place in Southeast Asia called Taigu, where there were some strange folk customs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the rules, he respected the customs, thinking of what Wen Xishu had said—listen carefully to the rules, interpret the rules... and he actually survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task there was to help a family complete their grandfather's funeral. There, the grandfather would return to his soul, the corpse would wake up, and it required a strong man to sleep with the grandfather for three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many weird things would happen during these three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai's ending was also very weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I listened to you, carefully interpreted the rules, and did whatever the rules told me to do. I was actually very scared; the task required me to sleep with a corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I thought, the more scared I am, the more I should follow the rules. Don't violate the rules because of fear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... I seemed to be hungry, and then, I woke up. The task prompted that I had completed it with a level three completion rate... I felt very full.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The grandfather was also gone. I seemed to have completed the task, but in the task, that family looked at me with strange eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked at Zheng Zai, who had a look of confusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, Brother, why are you looking at me like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a friend named Wen Xange. If your appetite becomes too excessive, perhaps you can look for him. He has unique experiences that can help you control your appetite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai still didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was also impressed; did this guy really have no idea what he had done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of clearing the level was indeed... very unique. This task actually sounded very terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu pondered that even if he had to sleep with a dead person for three days, he might not be without fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zheng Zai, in all likelihood, had eaten the grandfather in the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably, if there really was a designer for this game's tasks, they never would have thought someone would do this. What to do if the corpse in the coffin becomes a zombie? Eat it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Zheng Zai could eat the old man, eat the source of the weirdness in the task, must be related to Zheng Zai's ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing Zheng Zai thought was an illness was actually the ability of a sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's also strange, did Zheng Zai's guide not point it out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But perhaps, Zheng Zai, possessing this ability, really would carve out a unique way to clear levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zheng Zai, keep this style. I'm starting to look forward to your future growth, but this style of yours is indeed not suitable for teaching... When I see the principal later, I'll arrange a different position for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Brother, it really was you who stepped in!\" Zheng Zai clearly missed the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu rubbed his forehead, feeling that Zheng Zai also had a bit of madness in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two talked, they suddenly stopped in their tracks. Wen Xishu didn't expect... to encounter a second acquaintance here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person from the Bunker Anquan Bureau who interrogated Wen Xishu. He had subjected Wen Xishu to inhumane torture, but ultimately failed to extract any information from Wen Xishu's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm was taken over by Wen Xishu, who dragged it out until Albert arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the Anquan Bureau had a chance to dig out Wen Xishu's secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xie Changfeng missed that opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You! It's you! It's you!\" Xie Changfeng pointed at Wen Xishu in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu made a gesture of picking his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How come you've developed a stutter after not seeing each other for a few days? By the way, how did you end up mingling in the Weird Tower? Oh, have you become ambitious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression in Xie Changfeng's eyes changed several times, and finally, he said viciously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Xishu! You naturally evil little brat of the Wen family, I was harmed by you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gave you a chance, let Liu Jinsen interrogate me, but you didn't listen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three words \"Liu Jinsen\" clearly hit a sore spot for Xie Changfeng. He said angrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be smug with me, you scum of the Wen family. I know your true identity. Do you believe that I'll say who you are right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead, do you think the people around us will believe you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng paused, but immediately said angrily again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can let everyone in the bunker know your true identity! I'll let the people at the Three Towers Academy know who you are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can make threats here, but the premise of these threats is that you can return alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your current area is the sixth floor. Presumably, you should be very confident in surviving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng's body trembled with fear. He couldn't even understand the task description, let alone clear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu wasn't worried about Xie Changfeng returning alive and spilling his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Anquan Bureau hadn't done so, which meant everyone was afraid to offend Albert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng remembered that Wen Xishu was also considered a legend in exploring the Weird Tower, because Wen Xishu might have mastered some secret of Wen Zhaohua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you help me, otherwise I'll tell everyone your identity! You've explored the Weird Tower so many times! You have to help me! I'm in this state now because of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was very satisfied with this change in Xie Changfeng's attitude:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll help you. I've also explored the sixth floor. Perhaps the task you're exploring is one I've been to as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This task is called... called Parrot Cage Play. In Jiangcheng, you have to find contaminated items!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Changfeng looked at Wen Xishu, and also glanced at Zheng Zai beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai exchanged a look, both of them feeling somewhat surprised. Today was truly a coincidence upon a coincidence; it was coincidence to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu discovered that the mission name, Sorrow of the Parrot, had changed to Play of the Parrot Cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This perhaps meant that while the mission remained the same in form and process, Tang Rui had already moved past the pain of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it was destined that no one would ever be able to achieve a level six completion for this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! That look on your faces—you really have been there! You really have! That’s great, you really have been there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, both I and this brother beside me have been there. There are three items in total, and purifying one of them allows one to leave. I happen to have complete purification intelligence for all three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you have beaten me severely, so why should I help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",4014,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5ef962e514c67f9e450d9c8dae7d4bdd31a5495233739c18f4a78f028abfc95d","the-three-towers-game-chapter-87","the-three-towers-game-chapter-85",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
