It seemed the ruthless ones weren’t limited to just the chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though these were made-up stories to increase anticipation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outrageousness didn’t necessarily mean it was winnable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be something that truly happened. In other words, he really did this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep-frying his mistress?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef only had one minute, so he didn’t go into the details. There was no suspense, no building up and letting down...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, no techniques were used; it was all about the shocking plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep-frying was indeed shocking, especially when he described the skin turning golden and crispy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wen Xishu’s own comment section, some people felt disgusted, while others found it thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the chef’s anticipation value had undoubtedly risen to 264.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anticipation value of the Snake-tongued Woman had dropped significantly, but it was still high at 229, which was absurdly high compared to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see, there are a lot of viewers... At the beginning, everyone had a base value of 10.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu silently analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But now it seems the total value has far exceeded 80... and there are still lurking viewers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, I don’t necessarily have to steal viewers from the chef and the Snake-tongued Woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to find a way to make those lurking viewers interested in me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The viewers of the Snake-tongued Woman probably like erotic content. In this area, I can’t win...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in terms of bizarreness, deep-frying his mistress is more bizarre than anything I could come up with. But his storytelling technique needs improvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third person, the chef, had finished his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want to see how I’ll handle my wife, especially... with one inside her, pick me!\" The chef had clearly understood the game’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that anticipation-raising line... wasn’t it a bit too blunt?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be a twisted \"confession ritual?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confessing past sins, it must be real, a bunch of people listening... It sounded like a confession meeting, but distorted by the Deceit Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu remained silent, merely analyzing quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth person was still not him. In fact, Wen Xishu wasn’t under much pressure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round of storytelling, there was at least a participant with an anticipation value of only two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he couldn’t end up with just two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first round of the game, that shifty-eyed man would most likely die, so the pressure would mainly be in the second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that others had also realized this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth person was that elegant man, with a normal face, but a refreshing presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the shifty-eyed man, it seemed everyone had easily accepted the current situation, which Wen Xishu found the most eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps these habitual evildoers all had strong psychological resilience?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it was the gentle man’s turn to tell his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu originally thought this man would also talk about his wife since he mentioned attending his wife’s funeral before being brought here by the masked man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the story had nothing to do with his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a lecturer at a school, which is one of the top universities in our country. I once... did some bad things to my colleague, who was also a lecturer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her parents hated me deeply because, in their eyes, my actions were excessive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This incident got me fired, but I didn’t feel a loss at all... Not because I gained anything, but because I proved that my theory was feasible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was sentenced to three years and two months, and compensated the woman’s family with over seven hundred thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After three years, I got out... Hey, I met my current wife, and we lived a happy life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What exactly did he do? What did he do to that colleague!!! Ahhhhh!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Damned riddler!! I’ll give you a low score!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Although a sentence of just three years and two months might not be for a major crime, I’m so curious to know...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait, his wife also died later... Could there be a connection?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique-oriented storyteller had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Wen Xishu’s comment section; these people hadn’t completely disengaged from Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wen Xishu could see that they were all itching with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous storytellers, this lecturer man had the best grasp of the game rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game had storytelling and accident experience parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the story was too outrageous, the accident would likely be just as outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s best not to reveal the trump card at the start; better save it for after experiencing the accident part and understanding its rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if one can’t get a high anticipation value with ordinary stories, how should one proceed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer lies in technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the lecturer had told a story but left suspense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What crime led to a three-year and two-month sentence? What did he do exactly? Is his wife’s death related to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these were part of the lecturer’s calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, under the guise of storytelling techniques, the lecturer scored 196 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current ranking scores were—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murdering chef, 264 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake-tongued Woman, 229 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lecturer, 196 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shifty-eyed man, 2 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lecturer’s near top-rank was partly because everyone was eager to know what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one minute, using almost no bizarre or erotic content, he had gotten close to the top two scores, hinting to others on what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some things are hard to imitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Wen Xishu’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had plenty of material to draw from; he just needed to decide which part to share.\u003C\u002Fp>",946,"2026-06-03T11:12:51.957Z","2026-06-03T11:12:55.602Z",1,"novelbin.me","878fc338df7c7b40979c32e488813c6a0809d3031efc976317e63fa290966ab3","three-towers-game-chapter-537","three-towers-game-chapter-535",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
