Of course, what could be more exciting than the Three Towers games?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Three Towers Academy itself has simulation halls. In a sense, this world doesn't really need a gaming industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this has led to many things that only Wen Xishu recognizes, while others do not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even for Wen Xishu, this is the first time seeing this kind of controller. This controller has four joysticks, and the buttons are so numerous that there are six in each row, totaling four rows, densely covering the controller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is clearly meant for operating extremely complex items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai shakes his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, but how is it supposed to kill enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll know once we enter the television world. Right now, there are two things I'm concerned about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, it's unrelated to our current adventure. Aspasia and Wang Ying are both mercenaries. And you, Zheng Zai, are no ordinary person... your physical fitness is also very powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for me, I have some confidence in my own skills. Tong Ming, however, surprised me; he might be the best fighter among us, aside from you. This contrast really bothers me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm wondering if the challenge mechanism of the Trick Tower... also selects based on the challenger's own qualities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five people, all possessing combat abilities beyond the ordinary—is it a coincidence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we are outstanding in certain areas and deliberately cultivate those aspects, could it be that future levels will also have the possibility of requiring those skills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai still shakes his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... if you really want to gather statistics, you'd need a massive amount of data, but what you say makes some sense. However, for me, it's truly too far off. Have you already started considering such macro-level things, little brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just killing time. After all, when there's no information to process, one might as well let the brain handle other problems. The second point I'm concerned about. We can verify this point very quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai asks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Tong Ming died, are we challenging Level 2 or Level 3? This is important, think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai ponders for a moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's Level 3... that means Level 2 has actually been passed? We just need to continue challenging; whether we live or die doesn't matter. We only need to successfully identify twelve items... and don't need to successfully use twelve items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if... even if we die, we can save the other teammates from two challenges?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu corrects him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's that if other teammates die, they can also save us from two challenges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai says nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu says: \"Remember, the essence of surviving the Trick Tower, the first core principle, is to ensure your own survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we need to re-challenge Level 2, it means we must successfully identify 12 items and successfully use 12 items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we don't need to challenge Level 2 again... Zheng Zai, you'll have to keep an eye on certain things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I pay attention to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu slowly fades the smile from his face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I can think of, they can also think of. If the rule is the latter, and we don't need to challenge Level 2, that means for the last two levels, we just need to shove two people into Level 11 and Level 12; it doesn't matter if those two people die in the levels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, they can skip the last and most difficult two levels and let us do them. They only need to reach Level 10. In any case, in the process later, I hope you observe their choices carefully...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, in the Trick Tower, if someone is good to you, you don't necessarily have to return the favor. But if someone takes advantage of you, you must never forgive them. Sometimes, tolerance is fatal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai is silent for a full ten seconds before nodding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand what you mean. These last two levels are the hardest, with the lowest survival rate. If they let us take the last two levels—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zheng Zai can finish, Wen Xishu says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can do them; those who are capable should do more work, but the implied premise of that saying is—more work, more reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the other party pays enough, we can bear the risk. But if they just want to take advantage of us... you understand, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai has completely understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, no matter what happens then, I will firmly stand on your side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother Wen, I trust your judgment. No matter how you treat others, you have shown me great kindness. Others have a position to criticize some of your actions, but I don't, and you always have your reasons for doing things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu is very satisfied with this result:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, next, we start testing this thing,\" Wen Xishu says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai is shocked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're serious? What is the description you saw for this thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Control, skill, auxiliary. Only six characters in total, but I think these six characters are enough to explain a lot of things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thinks for a moment and adds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I set you up and cause you to fall into danger, would you resent me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai shakes his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Depends on whether it's intentional or not... but I don't think you would harm me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu smiles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I am a very selfish person; the me you know is not the real me. But I can guarantee you one thing: at least this time, I will be in the same predicament as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai understands this well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people in this mission are actually all gambling. Gambling that this item is useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some gamble based on their basic judgment of the item, some gamble with information provided by their magic resistance value, and others gamble with experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, if I get set up, I'll accept my fate. Since I've decided to trust you, I will take responsibility for my own actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu is very satisfied with this answer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good. I'm starting the identification; are you willing to identify it with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai nods:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's do it! I trust you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identification prompt appears in everyone's mind. The third item to be identified appears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also causes Wang Ying and Aspasia next door to immediately come to Room 4-7 where Wen Xishu is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the situation? They're using this as a weapon?\" Wang Ying says.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The item has entered the mandatory demonstration phase.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the never-before-seen object in Wen Xishu's hands, Wang Ying thinks Wen Xishu is a bit crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aspasia notices that Zheng Zai's body is making many strange movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Are you willing to accept becoming the character linked by the controller?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the prompt that appeared in Zheng Zai's mind after entering the item demonstration. Zheng Zai doesn't speak, but without hesitation, he decisively chooses yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he feels as if his body no longer belongs to him. He begins to make strange movements, making Aspasia think he is possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on a second, old Zheng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu changes how he addresses Zheng Zai, so naturally that he doesn't even notice it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good, very good. The controller has quite a few buttons, so it's a bit troublesome to adapt to, but I should be familiar with it by now,\" Wen Xishu says with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai's strange arm-raising and leg-swinging movements suddenly stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, shall we head out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wen Xishu presses a circular button, Zheng Zai finds he can move freely again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this is it? Don't you want to get more familiar with it?\" Zheng Zai is still a bit shaky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusting Wen Xishu is one thing, but being afraid is another. The scene of Tong Ming being bitten to death is still fresh in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu doesn't avoid Wang Ying and Aspasia:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The items left here are either of no use in combat or are very complex to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is quite good, complex enough, but I can already handle it. Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai stops hesitating, steels his heart, and is actually the first to walk out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai disappear as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are sufficiently familiar with the item, so you have stepped out of the ward; you are now entering the item usage phase.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current challenge level, Level 3.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene where Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai appear is a concert stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience seats are filled with monsters, which doesn't surprise Wen Xishu at all, but he didn't expect that there would also be a monster on stage holding an electric guitar. The monster has a standard skull face but long, wavy hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is wearing a huge denim jacket, and its thick bones are covered in various heavy metal-style tattoos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull's mouth is even clenching a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the audience members are Initial Level 3 Normal Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is Level 3. This means that as long as the identification is completed, it doesn't matter if we don't survive the usage phase. Whether we live or die, for the next person identifying an item, it will be a challenge to Level 4.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So as long as there is a living person in the entire team, the game defaults to us having finished identifying one item... even if the process of using the item doesn't go very smoothly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu analyzes with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this concert venue capable of holding 12,000 people, it was packed densely with monsters, which made Zheng Zai start to feel afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be afraid, Old Zheng. From now on, I will control you to deal with these monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, the progress bar in our eyes is still at one hundred. One hundred Normal-type monsters should be no problem for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai really wanted to thank Brother Wen for having such confidence in him, but he truly had no confidence in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because for Level 3 Normal-type monsters, besides their speed being about as fast as a normal person running at full tilt, their strength and vitality had also increased quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even had minor deformities in their bodies and possessed other abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the TV world, when Wang Ying in the Zhuyuan Force building saw the scene in the venue, he also gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton man smoking in the center of the stage had a mutation level that had already reached Elite-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what level of Elite-type it was, it could easily kill Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai. Without the support of a Killing Sequence and Tower of Slaughter attributes, even a genius with heaven-sent strength would be someone who could die in a matter of minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... now there are only the two of us left,\" Wang Ying said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aspasia then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That skeleton face might not necessarily make a move, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, let's hope so. If it does make a move, I can't imagine—if it's like this at Lv3, what kind of difficulty will Lv4 be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what kind of difficulty will the final Lv12 be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of fear rose in Wang Ying's heart. This was only the eighth floor of the Tower of Deceit; how could it be this difficult?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the TV world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monsters wanting to listen to a concert, how interesting. Old Zheng, are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... how could I possibly be ready... but, I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, anyway, I'm counting on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was still in fear, but he quickly distilled courage and fighting spirit; facing this scene, he was naturally afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he could only rely on Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters began to surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the stage, the Elite-type skeleton face was currently playing a tune that was not very heavy metal, but had a very strong sense of rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by the music, the Normal-type monsters began to run toward Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wen Xishu took a deep breath and began to pick up the controller:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One-life clear, let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai's body began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Wen Xishu was so confident was that in his field of vision, he could see the move lists for many techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number one joystick controlled direction; pressing ←→↑↓← plus the left hand light attack would allow Zheng Zai to emit a crescent-shaped Qi blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this controller granted Zheng Zai many additional abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also what Wen Xishu had guessed after interpreting it. If he guessed wrong, it meant death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, it always had to be appraised; when in the Tower of Deceit had they not brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wen Xishu firmly believed in his choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was also shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, how the hell can I do this? Is this some kind of sequence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive crescent Qi slash was emitted by the swing of Zheng Zai's left hand, causing all the Normal-type monsters within a 180-degree, three-meter range in front of Zheng Zai to be cut in half at the waist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai noticed that this counted as a kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Up, down, left, right, then heavy right leg, then up, left, down, right, plus right heavy punch. Earth-Quaking Core.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu followed the move list and executed the second move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When monsters began to appear on Zheng Zai's sides as well, Zheng Zai first stomped his right leg hard onto the ground, causing a circular Qi wave to expand outward, then Zheng Zai threw a heavy punch toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding ground shattered, and countless tables and chairs from the concert seating flew everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with those low-level Level 3 Normal-type monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god! I wasn't even this fierce in the Tower of Slaughter! Wow! Brother Wen, I'm too strong! No, the two of us are just too strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai was now responsible for both the \"ga-ga\" sounds and the indiscriminate killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, his situation was very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once the move list was entered incorrectly, or the speed of input wasn't fast or fluid enough... then facing the surrounding monster attacks, Zheng Zai would look like he was just spinning in circles and flailing his legs and arms randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, he would be finished right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu still executed the complex combos with great precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing had indeed been discovered by others before; as long as two people had a good relationship and one person was willing to accept it, they could be completely controlled by the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that this anti-human controller didn't care about ergonomics like a traditional controller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four joysticks, twenty-four buttons... a keyboard was about this complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remembering the function of each button would take a long time, let alone accurately and correctly executing various moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no one used this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu could use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a master at playing games; give him even more complex props, and he could still get the hang of them quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The images on the TV also left Wang Ying and Aspasia stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... that thing can control teammates! And it grants the teammate extra abilities?\" There was greed in Aspasia's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had this thing and controlled Wang Ying, killing Level 3 monsters would surely be simple. She clearly underestimated the complexity of that controller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying suddenly thought of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holding something like this, without any weapon attributes, he dared to step out of the room. That relaxed and easy expression on his face at the time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impossible. Could it be that he knew these things? But his anti-magic value shouldn't exceed seven points at most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying still remembered Wen Xishu saying that his anti-magic value was not as high as the level he was at when he first climbed the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was puzzled as to why Wen Xishu was so relaxed at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep watching. If they can survive, it's a good thing for us too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying also noticed that the monsters were Lv3. That meant that regardless of whether the teammates lived or died, as long as they entered the TV world, they could advance the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we intentionally not appraise... and wait for them to appraise?\" Aspasia made a suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suggestion was very immoral, but the Lv3 scenario already made Aspasia feel fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they kept up the one-appraisal-per-person rotation with Wen Xishu, everyone taking turns...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then that meant they would have to challenge Lv4 next. But they had no confidence in finding items capable of dealing with Lv4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, there were no rules stating that everyone or every team had to appraise the same number of items. Letting one side do more work... actually, that was fine too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ying did not answer this question, but he was silently calculating in his heart; he thought about more than Aspasia did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting others suffer a loss was fine, but you had to provide benefits... otherwise, why would others suffer a loss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TV world. In the unknown concert scene, that Elite-type sitting in the center seemed to realize that its \"fans\" could not get close to Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became competitive and immediately switched to a passionate tune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The style of this tune was very blood-pumping; it was the kind of music that would make countless people roar along at a live show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing Sequence 222: Slaughtering Frenzy Sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could use the arrangement of notes in the sound emitted to achieve various effects of stimulating surrounding entities and even one's own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of this passionate tune... the speed of the surrounding monsters clearly increased. They were practically like they had activated a berserk skill, bloodthirsty and crazy, like wild beasts that had been hungry for a long time but still had their stamina, rushing madly toward Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu consecutively executed the Crescent Qi Slash and the Earth-Quaking Core. But the monsters were still getting closer and closer to Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Wen! Do I have any more powerful moves! Hurry, these two moves can't hold them off anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters' health, speed, and desire to kill had all become more powerful. Relying solely on the moves Wen Xishu had mastered so far, they really couldn't hold them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the controller judged people based on their ability. Zheng Zai's ability was too weak to activate the controller's full potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zheng Zai were replaced with Xun Hui, Wen Xishu could execute several types of Qi-bursting ultimate techniques or mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Zheng Zai here... he only unlocked two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining ones he could execute were all red skills. These skills were more powerful, but the button commands were actually not as complex; the number of buttons required for the move decreased by at least three to five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Wen Xishu's understanding of red skills... these skills were often \"blood moves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were moves that, once used, would consume the teammate's health points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, there was also a \"True Self\" mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The True Self mode had only one ability—eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating True Self mode, Zheng Zai would remove the iron mask from his mouth and start eating the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a health-recovery ability, but during the process of eating, Zheng Zai could not do anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't struggle for too long; his plan was to first use a blood move to force back the monster swarm, give Zheng Zai some time, and then control Zheng Zai to eat the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he wouldn't have dared to do this, but thinking that Zheng Zai had even eaten his grandfather's corpse in the Tower of Deceit mission...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Presumably, Normal-type monsters would melt in the mouth for Zheng Zai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>→←←→+Double Punch, the command for the blood move was just that short, right-left-left-right; Wen Xishu executed it precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zheng Zai's skin quickly turned red, and a certain red luster enveloped Zheng Zai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was evaporated blood mist, a fused form of Qi and blood, creating a special radiance that enveloped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai tore the clothes from his chest, let out a roar like a beast, and then performed a tearing motion; two blood-red streams of Qi surged forward with unstoppable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the blood Qi passed... the monsters were instantly melted, leaving not even a trace of residue. The destructive power of this move was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kill count also instantly reached 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were a Level 1, low-tier, normal-type creature, this move alone would actually be enough to clear the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Zai’s maximum health was dropping rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu frowned; this health drop was too fast, decreasing by a full third. In other words, this blood technique could only be used three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu sensed a bit of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That move just now was too powerful, and what’s absurd is that this move... left no corpses behind; wherever the blood blades passed, the monsters were simply melted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters were indeed forced back, but the variable of having no corpses on the ground made it impossible for Wen Xishu to restore Zheng Zai’s health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the monsters were about to charge again; if he let the monsters get close and forced Zheng Zai to use other means to create corpses... then Zheng Zai would fall into the same predicament as Tong Ming, being completely \"swallowed\" by the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the speed of restoring health by eating couldn't keep up with the speed at which the monsters drained it, then it was meaningless, and he would instead fall into the trap of being surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skull-faced figure at the center of the stage changed to an even more intense track; if this kind of music were played in a disco, the people dancing would be hyped enough to tear their clothes off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of the music, the monsters launched another charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do that move again! Brother Wen! I can still do it one more time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the monsters charging wildly again, Zheng Zai shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu naturally knew Zheng Zai could do it again; according to the numbers, Zheng Zai could still use it twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, if a person loses more than sixty percent of their health... can their body’s various functions still operate normally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a game, a person only dies at the last drop of blood, but in reality, if you lose twenty percent of your blood, you’re going to have major problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu did not intend to work Zheng Zai to death. He quickly began to think of a strategy in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Utilize the conditions reasonably.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That move just now forced the monsters back a long way; Old Zheng has time to eat and restore health now, but there is nothing to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, there is something to eat! There is still one rule that can be used!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3870,"2026-06-20T04:46:41.185Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","15780f20c2c2d17e6e871d1f36045b7a01bf4e5c8c8ee3f69c38acab2ed46476","the-three-towers-game-chapter-92","the-three-towers-game-chapter-90",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
