Chapter 89 Teaching Zheng Zai
Chapter 89 Teaching Zheng Zai
Wen Xishu said:
"I'm actually inclined to keep the original approach, what do you think, Captain?"
This is the second chance Wen Xishu gives to everyone.
After all, his huge lead in magic resistance allowed him to have a preliminary understanding of items. This kind of game would be more dangerous for others without him.
But everyone had their own little calculations in mind, and they all thought that as long as they entered the ward skillfully, they would be able to find the item with combat functions first.
A desk lamp that can smash the heads of a hundred normal creatures without breaking, and it can also have other special abilities.
Then if you find a sword or a knife...it might be a monster harvester.
Tong Ming, Aspasia, and Wang Ying all thought so.
Wen Xishu didn't think so. He didn't believe the underlying logic was so simple.
Wang Ying thought for a moment and said:
"In that scene just now, it was only Level 1. I should be considered the best fighter among us. But I still almost died."
"I don't know how difficult Lv2 will be... Each of us will have to identify items. Everyone may also enter a battlefield that looks like the Slaughter Tower environment."
"But once you enter there, there is no attribute panel for the Slaughter Tower! You have to understand the importance of items."
"It looks like there are a lot of rooms on this floor, there must be dozens of them. It's really slow for us to go one by one... and the place we were just in was too dangerous. If we act as a group, I can't guarantee that the items you have obtained can cope with that kind of danger."
"So, everyone, do your own thing. Life and death are determined by fate. You should use the things you choose yourself. If you die on the battlefield, you can blame yourself for making a mistake, not others. How do you do that?"
Wen Xishu smiled. This man's words made sense.
"Of course I have no problem with that. I'll follow your instructions."
Wang Ying thought about it:
"Zheng Zai, do you want to come with us?"
Zheng Zai is a tall and strong man, with an iron mask on his mouth, and it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
Wang Ying thinks he is the number one combat force.
But Zheng Zai shook his head and said:
"Sorry, Captain Wang, I want to be with Brother Wen."
Wang Ying's face darkened, and his initial favorable impression of Wen Xishu disappeared in an instant:
"Okay, good luck to you then."
Wen Xishu suddenly said at this time:
"Captain Wang, can I ask you for a favor?"
Wang Ying was puzzled:
"whats the matter?"
Wen Xishu pointed at the desk lamp:
"Do you still want this thing? It's actually of little value in actual combat."
Wang Ying said:
"This thing... well, since you want it, I'll give it to you."
Wen Xishu didn't want to identify the desk lamp at first because he was wondering whether the desk lamp would be needed in some process.
Now, he wanted this lamp because someone had already experienced it completely.
Wang Ying seemed very generous. This lamp was indeed useful, but it was also useless. He said it was a magical tool just to save face, but in fact...
This thing was useless, and it even made him feel dizzy when he saw other people's vision. The most important thing was that this thing actually hindered his performance in the battle, and it was even worse than the steel bars on the ground.
Moreover, considering that each person can only carry a limited number of items, and there is no shortage of items here, new items must be obtained before entering the next round. This lamp must not be what he wants to carry, and he absolutely cannot use the lamp to challenge the more difficult Lv2 or Lv3... He was already planning to throw it away.
Now that Wen Xishu asked for it, he was happy to do him a favor. After all, Wen Xishu had just helped him.
……
Eventually, the five people who explored the museum split into three teams.
No one wants Tong Ming.
Wang Ying thought Tong Ming was a burden, and Tong Ming himself looked down on others.
Wang Ying and Aspasia are in the same team. Although Aspasia is dissatisfied with Wang Ying's irrationality, she still saw that Wang Ying risked his life to save her just now.
Wen Xishu and Zheng were in Team 4. Tong Ming went to 2-4. Wang Ying chose 3-.
Wen Xishu did not go to 4-4, but took Zheng Zai to walk in the corridor.
"Brother Wen, why don't we go in and take a look?"
Wen Xishu looked forward:
"We were on the fourth floor when we showed up, Jung Jae, do you think there's a problem?"
Zheng Zai shook his head:
"I…my brain can't wrap its head around this."
Wen Xishu is very patient with Zheng Zai. After all, in a sense, Zheng Zai is a man who has been tested.
"To put it simply, the museum is on the fourth floor. But it's strange that in a mental hospital, only the most seriously ill people live on the highest floors."
“If you were a great inventor, and you were the owner of these items in the museum, and you were forced to open a museum in a mental hospital... would you choose to open it on the fourth floor?”
"The patients down there are obviously more normal, right?"
Zheng Zai thought about it seriously:
"What if he has a good relationship with the people on the fourth floor?"
Wen Xishu affirmed:
"That's one reason. I actually think so, so I wonder if there are some special patients in these wards."
"And there is another point. When I first appeared in the strange tower, it was on a higher level of a building."
"I have to rescue a little girl. In the process, I have to go downstairs."
"Do you think we will go downstairs? If we go downstairs, will we encounter some unknown horror?"
"Do you remember the mission introduction?"
Zheng nodded. He was adapting to Wen Xishu's thinking:
"You mean... after the apocalypse, people are scrambling to get in here?"
Wen Xishu praised:
"Good, you didn't forget the description of the mission."
"When the end of the world came, the mental hospital where he was staying became a place that everyone wanted to rush into. It was as if it was the only paradise in the world."
"If everyone wants to come in here, then the first ones to come in must be the patients and staff below."
"The roles they play may not be good ones. If we were to go downstairs, we might have to deal with these guys."
Zheng Zai was thoughtful:
"Will these guys... be very strong?"
Wen Xishu said:
"Some people will choose to eat the best dishes last, while others will eat them first. But if you don't eat it, others will take it away, then you will most likely choose to eat it first."
"In other words, on the lower three floors...if there really are enemies, then the weapons in their hands are the most valuable. What we can pick now are the ones left by others."
Zheng Zai understood, and he asked worriedly:
"Then aren't we in great danger? Will they... come up?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I'm not sure, but the time left for us is definitely not sufficient. It's difficult for us to stay for seven days like in some scenes."
Zheng Zai asked again:
"What should we do? Our equipment is inferior to the three lower levels. Doesn't this mean that we can never defeat them?"
"This is still a spooky tower. Our magic resistance is so low that they will have a significant advantage when they attack us. This... is there no chance of winning?"
Wen Xishu walked slowly, carefully observing the surroundings, and said:
"Two possibilities."
"Find a combat item strong enough to handle the twelve levels, and use it to deal with the various monsters in the TV world. Then find an item strong enough to hide our presence, and sneak away quietly. It's not very decent, but it works."
Zheng Zai suddenly realized:
"Yeah, if we can't win, we can just run away. As long as we complete the mission, that's fine."
"What about the second possibility?"
Wen Xishu pointed to the floor:
"There is a secret hidden in this floor. A secret that needs to be solved. If this secret is solved, we can obtain the most valuable item mentioned in the mission prompt."
"Once we get this item, we will be able to fulfill the great inventor's wish. Then, at least we will be able to easily deal with the monsters in this building. This is also the most reliable approach I personally think."
Zheng Zai was a little excited:
"Brother, do you have some clues?"
When Zheng Zai thought back now, he found it very strange that Wen Xishu asked for a desk lamp just now.
Wen Xishu said:
"It's just a guess, not a clue."
At this time, Tong Ming came out from 4-2. Seeing Xi Shu still in the corridor, Tong Ming was slightly surprised:
"Two big brothers, you guys are really leisurely." Wen Xishu said:
"Didn't you find something satisfying?"
Tong Ming has arrived at the door of 4-4:
"You can go to 4-2 and take a look. Maybe you will need it. I don't need it anyway."
Tong Ming entered 4-4, and Wen Xishu was really with Zheng and went to 4-2.
What Zheng was thinking was, since Tong Ming didn't want it, there was actually no need to go and see it.
However, in Zheng Zai's eyes, everything Wen Xishu did had a deeper meaning.
Wen Xishu arrived at the door of 4-2.
Unlike the previous 4-1, 4-2 is very simple and clean. There is only one bedside table with an item on it.
That is a broom.
Zheng asked in a low voice:
"Brother, your magic resistance should be the highest... Have you found anything?"
Wen Xishu actually made out a few words.
Assimilate, cleanse, tame.
The rest were garbled characters, but these words were enough for Wen Xishu to guess the function of this broom.
"The garbage and dust will be tamed by the broom. They will think they are on the broom's side and assimilate other garbage to clean up the area."
Zheng made an o-shape with his mouth:
"Wow, this is a great cleaning tool... Too bad it's not very convenient for fighting. I thought it was a magic broom from some low-class novel."
Zheng was thinking, how nice it would be if this thing could take him flying.
"Let's go, this thing doesn't look worth much." Zheng Zai said.
Wen Xishu hummed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he pointed at the house:
"Zheng Zai, let me ask you, after you have seen this room, do you have any other thoughts besides the fact that that thing cannot be used?"
Zheng Zai shook his head:
"Time is running out... I guess we should just start searching for the next one right away?"
Wen Xishu said softly:
"You should compare it to the 4-1 situation before."
"Isn't it obvious that 4-1 has a lot of things, including a bed, bedding, and other things that other wards should have."
“But there is none in 4-2, and you may have to look for it in 4-1 to determine which item is the exhibit.”
"But what about 4-2? You can tell at a glance that the exhibit is the broom. The main reason for this is that 4-2 doesn't look like a patient."
"so--"
Wen Xishu paused deliberately to guide Zheng Zai, who was also quite willing to do so:
"I understand, I understand. Some of the rooms here have patients, and some don't!"
"In a room without patients, there are only exhibition props, but in a room with patients... maybe we can find some additional clues?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Not bad, let's go, we can go check out 4-5 now."
Zheng Zai walked in front of Wen Xishu and soon came in front of 4-5. He was very happy because Brother Wen always thought about things from a comprehensive perspective.
He recalled the last time, Brother Wen seemed to have cheated, and he passed the entire process quickly, and it felt great to win without any effort.
Room 4-3 where Wang Ying is located is actually very clean. The exhibit item in room 4-3 is a glass bottle.
Wang Ying was struggling over whether to identify it. As we all know, wine bottles are a great weapon for headshots...
Wang Ying also had some thoughts of his own. For example, in the TV world earlier, when facing a group of normal people, the desk lamp did not get damaged.
Then we can assume that these items are very hard or have no possibility of being damaged.
In this sense, this glass bottle does have certain weapon properties.
But in the end, after some hesitation, Wang Ying did not choose to take the bottle.
Wang Ying went 4-6.
After pushing open the door of 4-5, Zheng Zai was a little disappointed because the house inside was also very clean.
There was no patient admitted to 4-5, only an item, which had no weapon properties at all. Zheng Zai shook his head as he looked at it. But Wen Xishu smiled.
Because he had seen this item before.
"Good boy... So the great inventor is that drunkard?"
Zheng Zai was puzzled:
"What do you mean? Brother Wen, do you recognize this thing?"
Zheng Zai looked at the pair of wine glasses.
It was actually the first time that Wen Xishu saw this pair of wine glasses, but he had seen the "brother" of this pair of wine glasses - the truth-telling wine glasses.
The item description of the Truth or Dare glass is as follows: It is a pair with the Truth or Dare glass, and was once a treasure of a drunkard. Later, the drunkard died and the treasure was separated.
Wen Xishu said:
"There's no need to identify this pair of items. I know what they do, so let's just ignore them for now. Once we're through, we'll see if there's a way to take them away without identifying them."
Zheng Zai was a little confused, but when he thought about it, a pair of wine glasses to deal with the Lv2 level... the picture was indeed very abstract.
Wen Xishu really wanted this pair of wine glasses. This thing was better than the truth or dare wine glasses.
Presumably, while the great inventor was still alive, the pair of wine glasses could be used continuously, but after his death, the wine glasses became disposable items.
The current rule is that only items that have been identified can be taken away.
However, the act of identifying the item itself will result in being teleported to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Therefore, Wen Xishu could only hope that after completing the twelve rounds of appraisal, there would be other ways to take away some items. Or, he could find some additional game mechanisms to obtain items.
He and Zheng Zai left 4-5.
Just at this moment, Tong Ming laughed in 4-4:
"Hey, it's very sharp! It can cut through iron like mud!"
Tong Ming's laughter also attracted the attention of Wang Ying and Aspasia:
"What did you find?"
"This... is actually a knife!"
Everyone gathered in the corridor. In Tong Ming's hand, he held a short knife that was as good as Wen Xishu's Scorpio Blade.
Very sharp.
The bedside table was cut in half by a short knife. During the display of the item, although Tong Ming did not understand the function of the item, the sharpness of the knife was beyond imagination.
Tong Ming said:
"I guess I'm lucky. This knife is really sharp."
Wang Ying said:
"Can you give me this knife?"
Tong Ming said:
"Sorry, Captain, I have to start using the weapons. I hope you guys can find your weapons soon."
Zheng Zai also noticed that the cuts made by the knife on the bedside table were as smooth as a mirror.
It was obvious that the sharpness was beyond imagination. This was a rare sharp blade. He was somewhat envious of Tong Ming's luck.
But Wen Xishu smiled:
"You are so lucky. I look forward to your performance in using items."
Tong Ming felt that Wen Xishu's smile was a little strange. It was a mischievous smile that only people of the same kind could sense.
But he felt that even if this knife had no other attributes, just being so sharp would make it a sharp weapon.
Tong Ming didn't think much and walked out of the room. The next second, his figure appeared on the TV at the end of the corridor.
Wen Xishu turned around:
"Jung Jae, let's continue searching. There's nothing to see."
Zheng Zai nodded. He didn't like this kid, he thought he was a bit of a bad boy, but he thought with this knife, it should be fine, he could come back alive.
