Chapter 73 Team Desire Tower
Chapter 73 Team Desire Tower
The next day, night.
A Miao, who only had 25 points of action power left, initiated another meeting.
When her face appeared on the screen in front of everyone, everyone in the Xishu Cult was concerned about her.
"Ah Miao, what's wrong with you!"
Xiaowu is actually worse than A-Miao.
His skin was burned and had many swellings and blisters, but he immediately woke up from his inferiority complex and asked about A Miao's condition.
"Damn it, A Miao, Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you two? Did the bastard next door bully you?" Wu Xiangjiao said angrily.
Although Wu Xiangjiao has begun to hate women, he does not hate A Miao. He knows how difficult it is for A Miao.
Wen Xishu hadn't been around for long, just a few days, but it was always easy for people who were willing to share their past experiences to become friends.
Just like what Wen Xishu did to Tang Rui, exchanging the past with each other would quickly heat up the relationship between the two.
"Ah Miao! Don't hurt yourself! Although these injuries won't be brought back, if you die in the Ghost Tower, you will die in reality too! You are not alone, you still have us!"
Wen Xian Ge was very heartbroken.
Wen Xishu even saw the mental barrage floating above Wen Xiange's head.
He was indeed a little surprised.
Because this MLM-like character was so different from what he had expected.
This person truly cares about these people.
A prisoner who has completed labor reform, a woman suffering from a terminal illness, a lazy and thieving rogue, and a lecturer who is himself down and out but truly has great love in his heart.
These people actually became each other's support in times of despair.
Wen Xishu suddenly felt that something was unreal.
The people he met in the rest area of the Weird Tower last time were all villains. Even Zheng Zai had some perverted attributes.
He thought it was very reasonable; this was what a climber of the Weird Tower should look like.
But there is actually a group of people in the bunker who, despite their miserable lives, retain their inherent goodness.
They are really weak, so weak that if someone shows them a little kindness, they can rekindle their hope of living.
When the epidemic broke out on the first and second floors of the bunker, the top management chose to block off the ascent passage. At this time, many people had no choice but to wait for death.
Wen Xishu actually didn't go there to save others, he went there to save himself, but even so, when everyone knew that they would survive, they still missed him. They even believed in him.
A Miu said:
"It's okay, it's okay... Don't worry about me. Hey, I successfully persuaded that person to leave the apartment, which is something to be happy about. By the way, I have a question. Do you know the invitation letter?"
Wen Xiange, Xiao Wu, and Wu Xiangjiao all shook their heads and looked at A Miao in confusion.
Only Wen Xishu felt some ripples in his heart:
"You...got the invitation?"
"Ashu, do you know the invitation letter?" A Miao looked at Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, I know. With the invitation letter, you will receive an additional mission, but correspondingly, you may also unlock higher-level rewards, which is a good thing. You will know the specific situation after you get the invitation letter."
Wen Xishu had an idea in his mind.
A Miao actually sent the neighbor away successfully just like himself, and did it in perfect condition.
At the same time, A Miao's neighbor, the comedian, also has the qualifications to evolve into a character with a weird prefix.
This really surprised Wen Xishu.
It wasn’t Master Wen, it wasn’t Xiao Wu, and it wasn’t Wu Xiangjiao… In his opinion, A Miao, who was the least capable member of the team, actually performed a brilliant act at the critical moment.
This was truly hard for Wen Xishu to imagine.
The original plan was to take advantage of this meeting and, based on everyone's feedback, find out the two remaining people with strange qualifications among the seven.
There were three invitations, and I wanted all of them. Now it was different. The current situation was that there were two people left with the qualification of Weird Prefix, and Ah Miao had already found one of them.
At the same time, he had to face a possibility: would Ah Miao go to the rest area of the Desire Tower with him? This was his first experience of going to the Desire Tower as a team.
Will this expose more secrets? Should I... find a way to make Ah Miao die here?
The thought flashed through his mind, but was quickly denied by Wen Xishu.
Because the four people were doing the same action, they put their hands together and thanked Wen Xishu in a low voice.
The Lord who blesses them.
Although it is just a concept, an idol without any concreteness, not the real self.
But Wen Xishu still had a very slight fluctuation:
"Forget it. After my mobility is restored tonight at 12 o'clock, I'll give Ah Miao a small test... If she can pass it, I'll help her once."
Wen Xishu said:
"Xiao Wu, Banana, Venerable, are you three doing well?"
The three began to talk about their situations. The first one was Xiaowu, because Xiaowu's skin had many pustules, which was a reaction after the burns.
Xiaowu said that it was difficult for him to overcome his inferiority complex and he needed to constantly cleanse and purify himself.
After hearing this, Wen Xishu knew that this person was actually useless. Extreme inferiority complex is more terrible than arrogance.
"Xiao Wu, all your actions are cancelled. From now on, you will only be responsible for one thing, which is to start the meeting at a fixed time every day. All your actions will be used to start the meeting and save time for others."
"You are ugly... The way you look now disgusts me. If you continue to bathe in hot water and your body changes in the slightest, I will consider convincing everyone to abandon you."
Wen Xishu's tone was extremely cold.
Wu Xiangjiao was a little angry at first, but then, Venerable Wen also said:
"Yes, what Ashu said is what I want to say."
Venerable Wen spoke briefly, because he couldn't bear to treat Xiao Wu like this. But sometimes, people with low self-esteem just can't listen to other people's encouragement, because no matter how much encouragement they get, they are unworthy.
But they are particularly concerned about criticism and blame from others.
Xiaowu didn't say anything, just nodded.
Wen Xiange and Wu Xianga also began to tell their own experiences, and both of them failed. Wen Xiange's experience made Wen Xishu feel the taste through the screen.
Wu Xiangjiao's story made all the men present feel unconscious pain in their genitals.
"Sorry, I failed too... Honestly, I was scared at the time. That posture seemed like self-mutilation and would end the life of one's own family line. His calm look really made me want to escape quickly." Wu Xiangjiao was a little discouraged.
Wen Xian Ge also said:
"If only...if only I could hold it in. I don't even dare to enter that room now."
Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, I understand the situation, Your Excellency. You and Banana still have the ability to move. Try to swap them later. Stop interacting with your neighbors and choose to explore this building instead."
"Then, Banana, you go to the neighbor's house that the Venerable is in charge of. You'd better wear a mask or something."
"Venerable Sir, go to the neighbor's house that Banana is responsible for."
Wen Xiange and Wu Xianga thought about it...
It’s true. Maybe the person you can’t handle can be easily handled by the other person.
Wen Xiange once again sighed that Ah Shu was such a good teammate. Wen Xishu finally added:
"Ah Miao, don't use up any action points at night. As someone with the invitation, your action points are extremely valuable.
A Miao nodded:
"I understand. I'll listen to you."
This meeting is now over.
Wen Xishu has lost his motivation to act, and A Miao has also initiated two meetings but has lost his motivation to act.
The two could only wait.
……
……
Miracle Mansion. Day 3 of Seven Days Survival.
All those who have been mysteriously invaded are becoming more extreme.
A Miao touched his wound and recalled the dream in which he had surgery. Before he was given anesthesia, the doctor told him that the cancer cells had spread.
She laughed, scaring the doctor. At this moment, she really laughed, stroking her still bleeding face. Wen Xiange began to feel sick. What he experienced during the day became a lingering shadow for him.
Wu Xiangjiao kept thinking about those words, "Ajiao, let's complete the purification."
It was only the third day, and some people had already gone insane. On the contrary, Xiao Wu, who was becoming more and more self-abased, kept repeating Wen Xishu's words and the disgusted look in his eyes in his mind, fearing that he would be even more disgusted.
Fortunately, everyone still had the ability to think. Their distorted characteristics could not suppress their desire to survive.
Wen Xishu couldn't fall asleep, and since he couldn't do anything else, time passed slowly for him.
Wen Xishu was also very clear that with the invitation letter, there was a possibility of completely rewriting the source code of the copy.
Then his own energy for action should not be wasted. So he could only wait patiently for the 24-hour countdown to end.
After a somewhat agonizing wait, he finally received the invitation.
[Obtained items: Invitation letter, the youngest son of a chaebol family. ]
When Wen Xishu got this hint, he stood up immediately. His dark circles were a little obvious, and the bloodshot in his eyes were a little exaggerated, but the excitement on his face showed that he was in good physical condition.
He quickly opened the invitation.
[On the road of playing the role of a loser, he has always been very attentive. He has always thought that his grandfather can see his true thoughts. But is it true that there is no family affection in the chaebol family? He doesn't like his current name. All this started when his grandfather came into contact with the person who called himself a Scorpio. Maybe you can help him get happiness. ]
[Note: This mission involves unlocking the clue fragments of the seventh level of completeness of other levels. Even in the Desire Tower, you may encounter danger. Please choose the luck value distribution as appropriate. ]
Wen Xishu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Scorpio?
He is very sensitive to seven now, but also to constellations. The sixth level of completion will attract the gaze of some special beings.
For the first time, he was stared at by the strange Gemini.
The second time, he encountered the strange gaze of Virgo and the gaze of Gemini.
This was his third time climbing the tower, and Wen Xishu thought about it carefully...
Suddenly I found a little pattern.
"Gemini, maybe it means that in the three towers game, there are two people who are attracted to each other, just like Jack and Jennifer, who are attracted to each other. It's Gemini."
"Virgo may mean that in the Three Towers game, you will meet a woman who should have been pure, but will undergo a drastic change and become completely distorted."
"And Scorpio?"
Wen Xishu actually didn't pay much attention to zodiac signs. His greatest knowledge of zodiac signs came from Saint Seiya.
However, the special form of the strange tower this time, this action mechanism... may indicate that Scorpio is related to the game.
Wen Xishu has read a lot of unpopular knowledge. William H. Gibson, who is known as the "Father of World Video Games", is a Scorpio.
One of the stereotypes of Scorpio on major websites is that they “love to play and to torment their opponents.”
“So Scorpio, does that mean that if there are a lot of gamified properties, then in the Three Towers game, it’s very likely that this area will be gazed upon by Scorpio?”
The above are all Wen Xishu’s guesses. It is very likely that the actual corresponding rules for the constellations such as Virgo, Gemini, and Scorpio are completely different from what he guessed.
However, Wen Xishu was still very interested, because the previous mission did not mention these constellations, but this time, the mission took the initiative to mention them.
At the same time, there is a new mechanism this time, luck value distribution.
Wen Xishu didn't know what was going on. He thought that he would know after entering the Tower of Desire.
Xiaowu's video conference came as scheduled.
Ah Miao had also received the invitation letter, so she didn't care about much:
"Ashu, this... this thing mentioned the Desire Tower?"
Wen Xishu nodded. Ah Miao's reaction made him feel very reasonable. She really had no defenses against anyone.
"It also mentions the seventh level of completion... fragments. I don't understand these and they feel so far away from me. But it seems like another chance." A Miao said.
The others who listened also showed shocked expressions.
Seventh level of completion?
Isn't that something that can only be achieved at a certain level? It is said that the seventh-level product in the history of the bunker was achieved through the joint efforts of Albert, Mr. King, and several powerful beings who have disappeared from people's sight, from different towers.
There are only a few level seven facilities in the entire bunker.
They all suspected that they had heard it wrong. How could a seven-story mysterious tower start discussing such vague things?
Wen Xishu wanted to ask Ah Miao at this moment:
"Ah Miao, the invitation letter brings opportunities, but if you fail to grasp them, wasting opportunities will cause great losses."
"If you trust me, you can give me the invitation."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Ah Miao's reaction. Ah Miao did not laugh. Obviously, she was really aware of how rare this thing was.
But she finally nodded:
"Ashu, you have a good brain. I've noticed it in the past few days. Every time you explore, it's an effective exploration. Giving me the invitation... may waste important clues."
"I'll use up my energy and come find you later! I'll give you this."
In fact, Wen Xishu had already thought of this answer, but when he actually heard A Miao say this, he was still a little surprised.
Wen Xishu smiled unconsciously:
"I'm kidding. Ah Miao, go change into long-sleeved clothes. In ten minutes, activate the invitation letter. We'll meet in the next area. I have to remind you of something."
Ah Miao was stunned:
"You... aren't you afraid that I might do something bad?"
Wen Xishu smiled and shook his head. The world of Desire Tower is so big, what can go wrong? He now has a relatively high favorability towards all members of the Xishu Divine Cult.
Wen Xishu said:
"The invitation letter has taught you how to use it. See you later. As for the others, Venerable, Xiaowu, and Banana, don't use your action power yet."
"Ah Miao and I will be back soon. After the meeting, Xiao Wu, you can start the meeting again in twenty minutes."
Xiaowu is puzzled:
"Twenty minutes is enough? I feel like you guys are being invited to do something extraordinary. But the interval only needs to be this short?"
Since it was a meeting and since A Miao had asked in advance, Wen Xishu could not hide the matter of the invitation letter.
As for the final outcome of these people's fate, he decided to wait until he returned from the Desire Tower before making a judgment.
Wen Xishu said:
"Well, just do as I say. Twenty minutes after this meeting ends, you will consume another twenty-five action points to start the meeting. Do you understand?"
Xiao Wu nodded:
"I...I may be useless, but I will do small things like this."
Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, see you later."
End of the meeting.
When the screen disappeared, Wen Xishu and A Miao both picked up the invitation letters and pressed their fingerprints on them.
……
……
Desire tower, rest area.
The extremely familiar shouting made Wen Xishu quickly realize that he had arrived at the rest area again.
At the same time, he noticed Ah Miao beside him. Ah Miao was still a little dazed. This was her first time experiencing the transmission of an invitation letter, so this was a normal reaction.
Fortunately, the shouts from next door about Miyazaki Yinggao's gay-turning guide gradually sobered A Miao up.
"Where...are we now?"
Although A Miao already knew that she would come here through the invitation letter, it was still very surprising for her to come here for the first time in this way.
"Welcome to the rest area of the Desire Tower, A Miao, let's get to know each other formally. You can check my ID." Wen Xishu said.
A Miao was puzzled. She didn't care about this at first, but since Ashu mentioned it, she gently touched Wen Xishu.
Ah Miao silently recited the keywords that the guide taught her to check the attributes of her teammates.
At this moment, Wen Xishu's ID appeared in her mind.
Her first reaction was that she didn't feel anything was wrong, but then... her eyes began to open little by little, and her mouth opened slightly, but she didn't say a word.
She looked at Wen Xishu with confusion and disbelief.
There were no spaces, no symbols, no numbers...the three words "Wen Xishu" were exactly the same as the three words after the owner she saw in the bunker.
Wen Xishu smiled and leaned close to Ah Miao's ear, whispering:
"Shh, please keep it a secret."
