This god-like being, though capricious, did not show much hostility either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu would not leave anything to chance; if agreeing with Scorpio was all it took, he could force himself to recognize John’s \"purity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just now, he already found the Easter egg in John’s game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also understood why Blind could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now returning to the game, Wen Xishu just needed to go to the coordinates marked in the Easter egg to find the clue for clearing the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this trip to the Desire Tower could be wrapped up just by agreeing with Scorpio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even gain Scorpio’s favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the easy thing was not the right thing.
