Chapter 64 Counter 7
Chapter 64: Reverse Seven
Liu Jinsen asked Sha Ruijing to help him build momentum, and this move made Wen Xishu very fond of him.
In a sense, Liu Jinsen is better than anyone else being his "boss". So Wen Xishu will also cooperate with Liu Jinsen to a certain extent.
Liu Jinsen sighed:
"Your tower climbing report had better be convincing. If you think this is okay, then I can cooperate with you."
"Also, if you really want to climb the spooky tower frequently, then there is one more thing I need to tell you. Unless you bring back level 5 or higher facilities every time, it is best not to add facilities to the bunker at will."
Wen Xishu pondered the following sentence and understood a little:
"No wonder. I was wondering why some functional layers of the bunker are so chaotically distributed... but some areas are so neatly arranged."
Liu Jinsen hummed:
"You are very smart. In the early days of the bunker, humans kept bringing facilities back to the bunker... but they were not high-level facilities. Most people did not do any urban planning, which resulted in the facilities in the bunker being arranged in a mess."
"Moreover, some low-level facilities can be obtained repeatedly, which also leads to an excess of some facilities, taking up a lot of valuable space."
"Later, relevant policies were formulated. Except for level 5 and above facilities, which can be placed at will, all other facilities must be put aside by the guides first."
"After returning to the bunker, we will report to the Bunker Facility Planning Bureau and get the approval number. Then we can place it in the location required by the approval number and find a guide to place it after the next tower climb. Otherwise, we will arrange for someone to destroy it."
Wen Xishu had no objection, this arrangement was actually quite reasonable.
Level 5 facilities are too scarce, and level 6 facilities are even more so. There are only a few level 7 facilities in the entire bunker...so these facilities can be placed randomly, and currently the more the better.
"Okay, I see. As long as you are at level six, there is no need to go through so much trouble."
Liu Jinsen was somewhat speechless, feeling that this was too arrogant. But bringing back level 6 facilities twice made Wen Xishu's words seem somewhat reasonable.
He could only finally say:
"Don't underestimate the strange tower, and don't underestimate the enemy... Many of us are helping you fight for it, and maybe we can really help you gain true freedom."
Wen Xishu felt a little emotional.
Sir Liu is very capable, but there is a reason why he has never been promoted to a higher level. There are still some lovely people in this bunker.
He smiled and said:
"It's better to die while exploring the spooky tower than in the bunker. Thank you, Sir Liu. I think Principal Albert will be happy with your choice."
Liu Jinsen stopped talking, just nodded and hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Wen Xishu took out the login device and prepared to log into the third tower in the principal's office. This place is actually safer and more secluded than the dormitory.
Jabbar said at this time:
"You are really as hardworking and studious as the principal said. It has been a long time since the academy has had a student with such a strong desire to climb the tower and the ability to survive."
"Good luck, Wen. Before you start the login, I have something to give you. This is a gift from Wenren Jing. It may help you climb the tower this time."
Jabbar was respectful, not like someone from the academic affairs office, but more like a polite butler.
Wen Xishu thought to himself, if this man was taller, he would be Alfred.
Thanks to Albert's generosity, the prop "Forgot to Bring the Key" that Wen Xishu originally rented has been rented by Wen Xishu for a long time and does not need to be returned to the Logistics Department.
Now Wen Xishu can actually ask for one more item. Counting Tang Rui's letter, the forgotten key, and the item for the Wenren Mirror that he is about to obtain, there are only three items in total. However, his inventory has four slots.
But considering that new challenges might also provide new items, he didn't plan to go to the Supply Department again.
Jabar opened a palm-sized box and handed it to Wen Xishu:
"Here are the items and their cards. I hope they can help you."
Wen Xishu noticed the purple card at first sight.
Wen Xishu didn't expect Wen Ren Jing to be so generous. It seemed that Wen Ren Jing did feel very guilty towards Tang Rui.
The content of the card is as follows:
【Owner: Wenren Jing. 】
[Item name: Gradual indifference.]
[Item description: It is shaped like a crystal clear heart. Although it is an ordinary necklace, it explains the process of love for countless people. They sink into the dust, gradually heat up, hate each other, and never see each other again.]
[Item attributes: No general combat attributes. Activation consumes 25% of current health. Activation effect: Once activated, within a certain range, your presence will be extremely weak. At the same time, all the Desire Tower beings who notice you will greatly increase their initial favorability and greatly increase your probability of obtaining the truth.
Very useful, right? But please note that once the duration is over, all units affected by the necklace will continue to hate you. Gradually, they will hate you until they want to kill you.
This process is irreversible and cannot be canceled once initiated. This item cannot work on highly distorted creatures. 】
Wen Xishu was slightly moved.
There is no doubt that this is an item with huge side effects. The increase in favorability is limited, but after the effect ends, the favorability continues to drop and is indeed infinite.
Once it is activated, it is equivalent to creating a group of enemies. The cost of activation is not low, 25% of current health.
But even with such a huge side effect, Wen Xishu still thinks this item is a bug.
Because during the duration of its effect, it is indeed a very effective tool for collecting intelligence on the Desire Tower.
He took the necklace and Jabbar said:
"Wenren Jing said that he hopes it can help you, but you must not use it on kind people. He hopes that you can gain true friendship even in the Three Towers."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Thank him for me, he's such a generous man."
Jabbar laughed:
"I will convey your gratitude to him. Then, Mr. Wen, I think I should leave now. I will seal the office. No one else will be able to come in except me and the principal."
Jabar shook hands with Wen Xishu and said goodbye. Then he walked out of the principal's office and closed the door.
"I wish you good luck with your studies."
After Jabbar left, Wen Xishu started the login program.
The watch engraved with a double spiral pattern bit Wen Xishu's wrist again, and a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
【Welcome to the three-tower game, you are about to enter the rest area. 】
[Based on your challenge under normal order, you have obtained the sixth level of completion of the sixth floor. The current maximum level you can go to is 10. The fluctuation value is 3 to 10. But you can also go to the three towers to pick up the three towers and choose to go down to the third tower (for detailed rules, please consult the three towers guide.)]
[Special item "Insane Dice" detected. Do you want to throw it? ]
Wen Xishu was surprised. Is he starting to upgrade himself now?
The impact of level 6 completion is indeed very high. Normally, as long as you complete the task in the range of level 1 to level 7 seven times, no matter how much completion you have, you will be promoted and have the qualifications to challenge a higher level. However, if you achieve level 6 completion, you only need to do it once to be promoted. But this premise is a challenge under normal order.
Obviously, the "three highs" of the Crazy Dice were not in normal order. Although he had cleared the twenty-first floor of Jack's Ghost Building in Moren City, it was not included in the upgrade evaluation.
Wen Xishu was not interested in the tasks of the first and second levels. He calmly accepted the fact that he had been promoted and rolled the insanity dice for the third time.
The points this time are also very special, 2.3.4.
[1: Good things come in pairs. (Triggered when at least two of the three dice have even numbers. Effect: Option +1. This option does not consume the option times)]
[2: Smooth. (Triggered when three dice show consecutive points. Effect: Your actions in the three towers will become unusually smooth. Reflected as: Combat skill consumption in the Killing Tower is halved, and combat skill release speed is increased. There is no need to light a bonfire to reduce the killing value in a short period of time. The magic resistance value requirement is greatly reduced, and the luck value is greatly increased.)]
[3: Three gives birth to all things. (Triggered when there is at least one three in the three dice and the total is a multiple of three. Effect: When the number of items you equip is three or a multiple of three, their effects will be amplified. This includes special items and invalid items. The number of items is determined only by the number of items in the inventory.)]
[4: Two-stage connection. (Triggered when three dice show consecutive points, and two of the points are even numbers. Effect: You can use the rules of any two tower systems at the same time.)]
[5: Quality Upgrade: (Triggered when two prime numbers are included in the three dice. Effect: When calculating the completion reward, if there are items, sequences, and facilities, one of them will trigger a quality upgrade and improve the quality level.)]
Wen Xishu couldn't help but sigh that these three small dice contained so many cheating mechanisms.
This time, good things come in pairs, which is essentially a choice between four.
But unlike last time, Wen Xishu quite liked all four options this time.
I won’t talk about the smoothness. It can be said that with the smoothness, combined with the magic resistance that you already have, when you enter the strange tower, you can see through many things at a glance.
He also wanted all the Three Lives and All Things, because including Tang Rui's letter, he had exactly three items.
Although the Double Break Link is not as powerful as the Three Phases Power, being able to use items and abilities from the Slaughter Tower or the Weird Tower in the Desire Tower is also very important.
Not to mention quality upgrade. If you reach level 6 completion, quality upgrade may allow you to obtain a sample that should be level 7 completion.
Four options, none of them are bad. All supermodels, all wanted.
But unfortunately, he can't make the choices that an adult can make.
"At the moment, although Three Life and All Things is very good, I am already satisfied with the effects of the items, so I will exclude it for now."
"The next step is to choose two out of three. Assuming that I can pass the level, I have to upgrade one of them. After all, Liu Sir also said that the facilities brought back must be of high enough level before they can be directly placed."
"Exploring the Desire Tower, actually, at my current level, the luck value is not that important, if I can find the invitation letter. I am not clear about the setting of the killing value, but it seems that once the upper limit is reached, it will trigger some bad reactions."
"Magic resistance... I already have 15 points. Even if I can't interpret all of it, at least I can interpret part of it at a low level."
“So, smoothness is really nice to have, but it’s not an absolutely necessary part.”
Wen Xishu finally chose the second stage connection and quality improvement.
He was actually very heartbroken and was very hesitant in his choice. If he could choose again, he himself could not guarantee that he would get the same result.
"What a pity. The Crazy Dice is a special item. It is completely different from other items that occupy the inventory."
"It would be great if the item bonus mechanism of Crazy Dice could add bonus to Crazy Dice itself..."
Wen Xishu's thoughts at this moment were a bit like being able to make two more wishes by using the Dragon Balls.
His thoughts were quickly diverted -
Because the scene before me begins to build.
It was also at this time that he heard the reminder of the new task.
[You have gradually discovered that after a certain time point, the end of the world will come. At the same time, you have also discovered that a small number of people are changing, but most people have not noticed it. But there are always exceptions. Before the end of the world comes, some people who do not have the qualifications to evolve also noticed the clues.]
[They gathered, they reveled, they began to love each other, and gradually, they began to know the content of the doomsday in advance, and they also began to prepare for the arrival of the doomsday. With their efforts, a columnar building called Miracle Apartment was born. ]
[Seven families were broken up in that apartment, and seven people died strangely. A plan called "Reverse Seven" was born in that apartment.]
[Let's turn back the clock and go back to seven days before everything happened. As an investigator, you live next to one of the seven households. Please explore the apartment as much as possible and survive for the next seven days, or you will be swallowed by the apartment. ]
[But we still hope that you, who have already performed well, can find the devil hidden deep in the crowd. ]
The seventh level, reverse seven actions, survive for seven days, seven families, seven people die...
“It’s all about seven.”
When Wen Xishu reacted to the reversal of number seven, the first thing he thought of was a number seven forward player who was good at turning the tables in adversity.
But obviously, this has nothing to do with any sport.
"I always feel that this mission is different from the previous two."
Wen Xishu did think so. The first two missions were actually related to a poor person. On the surface, it was about survival, but in reality, it was about salvation.
But this mission was very strange, because the word "demon" was actually mentioned in the mission introduction.
Wen Xishu soon appeared in the rest area of the Weird Tower.
This time, he appeared at the Tianyuan position. Most people who explored the Weird Tower needed to complete seven explorations of the first to seventh floors to advance.
The probability of this happening is actually very low, and very few people can do this. But there are also many unlucky people who are directly placed on the seventh floor during their first exploration.
There are quite a few people in the Tianyuan position, and hundreds of them are heading to the seventh floor for the first time climbing the tower.
But unlike the bleakness in the rest area last time, this time, in the Tianyuan area, those people who were about to go to the seventh floor seemed very excited.
"Oh, young friend, what crime did you commit to be punished to come here? May the great Saint Wen bless you!"
As soon as Wen Xishu appeared, someone immediately started talking to him.
Hearing the words "Wen Sheng", Wen Xishu had a strange feeling. He thought of something, and his guess was confirmed the next second.
The man who approached Wen Xishu was a bald man with a full beard. He looked like he had some Russian ancestry. He spoke in a very familiar manner:
"Can you tell me about the mission area you are going to? Perhaps there are people among us who can go with you. With people from our Xishu Divine Sect accompanying you, your journey to the tower will surely turn danger into safety!"
