We will be roommates from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was assigned to Slaughter Tower Academy by Albert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the practical simulation classes, Wen Xishu would undergo all kinds of physical training and learn various combat skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albert always believed that the significance of Slaughter Tower wasn't just about killing enemies in a virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he regarded the importance of Slaughter Tower as no less than that of Deceit Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wen Xishu wasn't entirely unrelated to Desire Tower either. He could choose to audit courses at Desire Tower Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Wen Xishu specialized in Deceit Tower, his primary discipline was Slaughter Tower, and his electives were from Desire Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he was one of the few who studied all three disciplines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the point, Wen Xishu was the first to arrive at the dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days earlier, when the lower-level pandemic hadn't yet eased and the upward channels were still closed, Albert had already brought him to the academy dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, Yue Yun wouldn't have arrived earlier than Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun had a physique that didn't seem particularly tall or muscular, even appearing a bit... thin from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But up close, everyone would definitely feel that this kid could fight quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, Wen Xishu thought of the late world-renowned martial arts star from his previous life, the thin-built Bruce Lee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun had a somewhat aloof demeanor. Upon hearing Wenxun introduce himself, his first reaction wasn't to respond with his name but rather to ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wenxun? Which 'Wen'? The 'Wen' from Wen Xishu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having experienced sending floating messages in front of Albert last time, Wen Xishu had better emotional control now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon suddenly hearing a newcomer mention him by name, his first reaction was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this some noble with a grudge against the Wen Family, starting my experience directly in Hell, arranged as my roommate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enemy in Honnoji Temple? A foe hidden in my lodging?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This should have been an alarming situation, but Wen Xishu remained very calm and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'Wen' from 'culture' and the 'xun' from 'searching'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's expression was very natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, after arriving in this absurd world, his emotional management skills had improved even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he would master the art of a perpetual poker face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun didn't detect anything strange, though he seemed a bit disappointed and coldly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Yue Yun, looking forward to your support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun began to settle his luggage, and the minor ripples inside Wen Xishu's heart gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't be so disappointed. Even though I don't share the same surname as Wen Xishu, I've... heard of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu decided to probe further:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're also asking about Wen Xishu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun's brows slightly furrowed, giving Wen Xishu the impression of a protagonist from early fantasy novels, burdened with deep-seated enmity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also? Who else is asking about Wen Xishu?\" Yue Yun asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I just thought maybe others would be interested as well,\" Wen Xishu replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile was that kind that could even calm Deceit Jennifer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun seemed to feel the friendliness from Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing his index finger lightly against the side of his nose, Yue Yun spoke in a deep, serious tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu hadn't expected to lose his composure like this. He thought his emotional management was flawless, and hearing his name wouldn't evoke any extra reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the phrase \"he is mine\" made him lose his expression control, and his face twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, floating messages didn't appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wen Xishu with an expression as if he had seen a tiny ghost, Yue Yun realized that his words were possibly ambiguous. He turned his head and continued in his cold, deep tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is my target; I will surpass him. Though there's a significant gap between us now, thirty years east of the bunker, thirty years west of the bunker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu finally understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you laughing at?\" Yue Yun's gaze was sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought of something happy,\" Wen Xishu felt completely relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was an enemy, but it turned out to be a fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew why he had fans. The material and facilities he moved had earned him a good reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu decided to call Yue Yun 'King of Combos'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid had too much of that 'King of Combos' style, with his deeply bitter expressions, sharp gaze, and cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you mocking me? Do you think I'm delusional?\" Yue Yun slightly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Heaven and Earth, Wen Xishu didn't think surpassing him was anything remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he came to the academy through connections, unlike those who were admitted based on their skills, there's still a gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would it be? I just think, having a roommate like you, I'll be very motivated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun slowly nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck, let's work hard together, strive to become someone like him as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Wen Xishu felt a bit awkward being earnestly pursued by Yue Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, after the midterm exam, Yue Yun discovers the person he's chasing is his own roommate... would he feel disillusioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't think much about it, because the next roommate appeared unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thought, the king of forcing was already the epitome of quirky roommates... but Wen Xishu underestimated the caliber of Three Towers Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principal is so eccentric, naturally the students admitted by the admission office are also not normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where there's a Sleeping Dragon, there must be a Young Phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"yo~yo~ follow my rhythm, let's fight together! You shout for me, watch me show off in front!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Hey! My name is Nissen, my big pole can go so deep! This year in Slaughter Tower Academy, I will surely score full marks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cringe-inducing rap came from a black guy, making Wen Xishu's hairs stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the rhythm was there, the lyrics really made Wen Xishu embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu's second roommate, compared to the skinny Yue Yun, Nissen appeared extremely robust, roughly estimated by Wen Xishu, around two meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun was cold, while Nissen was excessively enthusiastic, shaking his body as he pushed open the door, rapping out the embarrassing lyrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a gorilla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen used a very rap-like way to high-five Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu still responded to the gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably like in the movies from his previous life, their palms touched, and then changed gestures constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Yue Yun coldly watched Nissen who was crazily rapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"yo~bro, from now on we're roommates! Shake with me!\" Nissen didn't care about Yue Yun's attitude at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was truly very joyful. He kept making some Beatbox sounds with his mouth, with spit flying around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun frowned, but got used to it, not exactly dislike. In the lower levels, he had seen many of these black brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought for a bit, then decided to say hello:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Wenxun, this is Yue Yun. And... you don't have to always rhyme, he would prefer normal conversation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt Yue Yun didn't like Nissen, and seemed not to have the intention to introduce himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly Yue Yun asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You also got admitted with full marks in all subjects?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen swung his arms:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ye~ although my culture isn't full marks, my other simulations are all full marks, cultural exams are too hard for me, but the academy's teacher said I have talent, hey, so they made an exception to admit me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief, it looked like this roommate could speak normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could imagine, he would hear a lot of cringey stuff in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun felt a bit competitive inside, he was also full marks, full marks in all subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew, full marks didn't mean much, some people scored that much because full marks were only so many points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was to become the top freshman and then surpass the senior students, ultimately chasing the geniuses in the Bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen being admitted as an exception might be because he showed performance surpassing full marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nissen, the dormitory became much livelier, Yue Yun's icy aura melted away in Nissen's cringey songs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen seemed to turn the whole dormitory atmosphere into a hip-hop vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Wen Xishu didn't like most blacks, especially the limited edition in his previous life in Guangdong and Guangxi, there were indeed some bringing positivity and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu and Yue Yun spoke rarely, but Nissen kept singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say singing, actually was deliberately rhyming while speaking, expressing roughly the meaning ——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sixth class of freshmen, teachers will lead students to participate in the lower-level Slaughter Tower trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't know how Nissen knew this, but if it was true...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he might soon log into Slaughter Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Nissen also conveyed another piece of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said the academy hid a treasure, always encouraging freshmen to search for it, it's no secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since the establishment of Three Towers Academy, even the best students haven't found the treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, after about a year of searching, students give up when they can't find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Three Towers Academy keeps recruiting new students, freshmen always full of vigor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can't tell if it's just a gimmick, but students think, even if the academy doesn't pull such gimmicks, everyone would still fight to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So to freshmen, probably it's like \"this treasure is destined for me, it hasn't been found by you, it's waiting for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nissen extended his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, shall we search for the treasure together? Tonight, not just us, hey, a lot from next class including Desire Tower group, will come. Let's group up as three!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this treasure, Yue Yun had heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the king of forcing, before Wen Xishu appeared, he believed he could match Xun Hui and Wenren Mirror in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characteristic of the king of forcing is to think oneself the chosen one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Yun nodded, unexpectedly shook hands with Nissen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn't speak, the treasure which students of every year couldn't find, naturally was extremely hard to search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wen Xishu suddenly remembered, Albert seemed to have said——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The academy does have a method to help get stronger, considered a little surprise, but no one knows where it is, because everyone has got the direction wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying won't hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2002,"2026-06-03T11:12:38.730Z","2026-06-03T11:12:44.168Z",1,"novelbin.me","f91e7944f0eb5d17fe54c80c7a533faa5299af4feb2d946f124b38557ada92ac","three-towers-game-chapter-38","three-towers-game-chapter-36",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
