Chapter 93: Taking Level 4

Chapter 93: Taking the Fourth Level

Zheng Zai squatted down and looked at the note carefully:

"I don't understand... How is this related to the five senses?"

Wen Xishu said:
"The patient in this house... is an old lady. Maybe she has hearing problems?"

"The patient in the first ward is a little girl with poor eyesight..."

"Do you think there is a coincidence here?"

Zheng Zai shook his head:

"It sounds like you're trying to say that there are some disabled people living on this floor?"

Wen Xishu was also unsure:
"Not necessarily... I was just guessing that the old lady had poor hearing, but the little girl in the first room had poor eyesight, which is a fact."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be disabled, but I think since I have eyes and ears, I must also have a nose and a mouth."

"Let's look first to see if there are similar elements in other rooms."

Zheng Zai nodded:
“But do we want to identify it?”

If the item is not authenticated, it cannot be used. It is roughly equivalent to an ordinary radio.

Wen Xishu looked at the radio. There were only three words on it: sorrow, voice, and building.

There are too few words, and it is difficult to guess the function of this radio. Using a radio to deal with the Lv4 level... is indeed a bit risky.

However, Wen Xishu was reminded:

"I don't know if I can continue to use the controller. Let's do this for now. Then I'll find an item that I'm fairly confident I can use in battle and move on to Lv4."

"If we can still use the handle at that time, then with the help of the handle, we can also identify these items and take them out."

Zheng understood that Brother Wen wanted to verify whether he could use the props he had already used to participate in the next levels.

If possible, then based on the fact that the desk lamp will not be damaged, Brother Wen can completely control himself with the handle and use the radio to smash a hundred monsters to death.

It's completely possible to use the attributes and abilities improved by the handle to injure the monster, and then use the radio to finish off the monster.

Wen Xishu felt relieved when he knew that Zheng Zai had figured it out.

Zheng appears to be stupid at first, but he is actually very teachable and not stupid. He is even able to understand things quickly.

……

……

Wang Ying finally did not choose the 4-9 wrench.

To be honest, the wrench is better than the glass bottle. But he still doesn't dare to choose it, because he is no longer facing Lv1, but Lv4.

Aspasia also knew the reason why Wang Ying hesitated:
"This wrench... looks like it's very suitable for headshots, more suitable than that bottle. Should we... give it a try?"

Wang Ying looked at Aspasia:
"I'll give you the decision-making power. You make the decision."

After saying this, Aspasia finally shook her head:
"Never mind... never mind, let's wait a little longer. Let's go to 4-10."

Wang Ying didn't say anything, just turned around and left to go 4-10. They have fallen into a dilemma, that is, the lack of courage.

For any one item, I don't have the confidence to challenge increasingly difficult levels.

On the contrary, Wen Xishu became more decisive.

When Wang Ying and Aspasia left 4-9, Wen Xishu came to 4-9.

Zheng Zai was very happy:

"Brother Wen, although there are no patients staying in this room, this thing is pretty good."

"How about we try it?"

The fourth level of the wrench challenge. Zheng Zai felt that there was no problem at all. After all, he had been completely inspired by Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:
"This... you can really give it a try."

Wen Xishu could see five words on this item.

【Build, repair, time. 】

It was difficult for him to guess the function of the item in this way, but it seemed that it was different from the previous Unkillable Blade and did not have any contrasting properties.

"But I have to state first that I'm not sure, and if the friend's handle I identified earlier can't be used..."

"can!"

Zheng Zai suddenly interrupted Wen Xishu and spoke firmly.

Wen Xishu smiled:
"Tell me what you think."

Zheng Zai said:

"Brother, you mentioned thinking from a holistic perspective. If the rules state that you cannot use previously identified items or other additional items... then there is no need to set up a special rule - you can only use identified items to kill the enemy."

"Think about it, in the first round, Captain Wang and his team could kill the enemy with steel bars and stones, but it didn't count as a kill. Only when they smashed the enemy's head with a desk lamp did it count."

"I think this rule itself indicates that you can use all your other props, including the props provided in the scene. But you must use the most recently identified items to make the final move!"

"Otherwise, we should just ban other items. This is only the eighth floor of the Trickster Tower... If the great inventor encourages us to identify items, then he should know that this mechanism will only make everyone deliberately choose items suitable for combat. This will be detrimental to the display of other non-combat items."

“So, if we only need to use items to finish off the enemy, then doesn’t that increase our options?”

Wen Xishu was shocked.

In fact, he had thought about these things before, so he was interested in the wrench because of the handle that provides support.

But he didn't expect that Zheng Zai could draw inferences from one thing and think so deeply about the rules to this level.

At this time, Zheng Zai had already begun to think from the perspective of interpreting the task. In the task introduction, every word between the lines showed that the great inventor longed for his product to be known to others.

This is actually a message. Zheng Zai is now thinking about this message.

Wen Xishu was very pleased:
"You are right, Lao Zheng. Keep up this habit. You will be able to stand on your own in the future."

Maybe you are really suitable to teach at the Three Towers Academy in the future... Well, now that I think about it, it seems that it is not unacceptable that the teachers at the Weird Tower Academy like to eat people. It is normal for people in the Weird Tower to be weird.

Zheng Zai lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Hey, I've shown off enough. Brother Wen, it's all because of you who taught me so well. What should we do now? Do you want an appraisal? Just say the word and I'll do it!"

"Then do it!"

Just do it and it's done. Wen Xishu couldn't suppress the smile on his face, he felt a kind of happiness.

After playing stand-alone games for a long time, you will also long for friends to play together.

The two of them identified the items again.

[Two appraisers, item activated, forced display function started. ]

This hint made Wang Ying and Aspasia next door silent again. They didn't know how many times they were surprised.

At this moment, although Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai had not yet entered the TV world, Aspasia was already a little annoyed, as if she had missed something great.

Wang Ying's eyes were dim:

"Do they...really not care about their lives?"

Did he think he was getting old? Was he not as brave as the young people? But Zheng Zai was not much younger than him.

The two left 4-10 and came to the door of 4-9. They looked at Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai as if they were monsters.

Wen Xishu hit the bedside table hard with a wrench.

The rust on the bedside table, which was originally rusty, has actually been reduced.

"Interesting. But I don't know if knocking someone would do this. I don't think so, right?" Zheng asked:

"Brother, what is the function of this thing? Can you tell me about it?"

Wen Xishu said:
"I guess it's based on the force of the impact to go back in time for a certain non-living thing... For example, if I hit this thing hard, it will become newer and newer until it is as good as new in the end."

Wen Xishu thought to himself that if this thing were put on the second-hand recycling market, it would be an invincible artifact.

It can be said that this thing is already a conceptual cheating prop. Of course, he is not sure whether there are any disadvantages, and whether his guess is correct.

"Oh...it seems a bit powerful, but I hope it won't hit anyone." Zheng Zai said.

"If it works on living things... the grade of this thing must be even more terrifying than the orange item. I don't think it will be effective against living things." Wen Xishu said.

Zheng Zai rolled up his sleeves:

"Walk?"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"go!"

The two took decisive steps and started the fourth level.

When the two figures completely disappeared, Wang Ying and Aspasia stood there, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

After a while, Wang Ying said:

"We are not wrong... We are just making normal choices. Most people in our position wouldn't necessarily be more courageous than us. We are not wrong, right?"

There was a desire for recognition in his eyes, because Zheng Zai and Wen Xishu had really made him doubt himself.

Aspasia says:
"Yes, they were too reckless. We... were not wrong."

Wang Ying got the answer he wanted, but his eyes became even dimmer.

If I am correct, I can pass the Weird Tower, then why is it still called the Weird Tower?

He made up his mind:
"No matter what... we have to fight again next time!"

Aspasia disagreed:
"Why? They are very motivated... That's a good thing. Why don't we just pretend to be stupid? They won't suffer any loss. They explore these things, and at most the items belong to them in the end."

Wang Ying shook his head:

"They explored, and the items should belong to them. It's not that they took advantage. That's their duty! Not a favor!"

"Do you think they are really stupid? Maybe they have additional sources of intelligence, but look at what they did. Not only are they brave, they are also very careful."

"We have to take a risk... at least, we have to have some leverage. Otherwise..."

Aspasia asked:
"What else would happen?"

"I may be overthinking...but I always feel that there is movement downstairs."

Wang Ying's words made Aspasia suddenly feel a little scared. But she soon turned her attention to the TV:
“Let’s pray that they survive first!”

……

……

The scene of the fourth level is a cross-sea bridge.

Wen Xishu didn’t know which city this was, but from a distance, it looked like he could see a port at the other end of this cross-sea bridge.

On the other side of the cross-sea bridge, there are countless intermediate-level first-level normal species.

The vitality of these normal species is extremely terrifying. Even if you shoot them in the head with a shovel, you may not be able to kill them.

Wen Xishu held the handle and Zheng Zai held the wrench. The two were in the center of the bridge.

After the two entered the scene, they immediately received a prompt.

[All creatures in this level are considered water inaccessible by default. If they fall from the bridge, they will be considered dead.]

Although this level has increased the magic resistance requirements for item analysis and lowered the magic resistance requirements for rule resistance...

But it is best not to try this kind of rule that will clearly determine death.

Wen Xishu looked around:

"Although I have slain gods and demons and cut through all the obstacles along the way, I can still fall to my death if I jump from a height of three meters, and I can also drown if I encounter water... It makes sense."

The cross-sea bridge is 21 kilometers long.

Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai were in the middle of the cross-sea bridge. In the distance, they could see dense, dark monsters approaching.

In about twenty minutes, these monsters will form two sides of cheese sandwich, leaving Wen Xishu and Zheng vulnerable to attack from both sides.

Zheng Zai said:

"Oh no... What should we do? Brother Wen, the strength span of these monsters is too big. This one has directly advanced to the middle-level normal species."

Wen Xishu was relatively calm. First, it was confirmed that the previous props could be used. In this way, it would be possible to identify items with special elements.

Secondly, he felt that this level might not be difficult.

"Old Zheng, with the help of the handle, you should be able to collapse part of this bridge, right?"

Among the skills that Zheng Zai has unlocked, there is a move called Earthquake Core, which allows him to stomp the ground hard and use his Qi body to knock enemies away.

Zheng Zai nodded:
"Maybe... it's possible?"

Wen Xishu looked into the distance:
"You see, the monsters in this level are very strong, and they are trying to double-team us. But did you notice that these monsters are very far away from us... very, very far away?"

"Even though their speed is much faster than the normal primary species...it will take a while for them to come over."

"Think about it. What was the hint we got when we first came in? Maybe this level is much easier than we thought."

Zheng Zai pondered for a moment, then said:
"Water! This rule applies not only to us, but also to these monsters!"

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Yes."

Zheng Zai was still puzzled:

"But what should we do? Destroy the bridge? The earthquake core is too exaggerated... I'm afraid I'll fall. And falling to death shouldn't count as a kill, right?"

Wen Xishu pointed at the wrench in Zheng Zai's hand:
"It depends on how you operate it, and whether the item plays a core role. In essence, I use the controller to control you, which is also considered an indirect kill. The controller itself does not bleed."

"It doesn't need to smash the monster's head to kill people. So does the wrench."

Wen Xishu started operating the handle, and Zheng Zai's body began to move.

Under Wen Xishu's operation, Zheng Zai did not use the earthquake core trick, but instead smashed the road of the cross-sea bridge with a wrench.

There were some cracks on the road surface, but with this wrench, the cracks were actually repaired.

Afterwards, Wen Xishu began to manipulate Zheng Zai, asking him to lift his left foot and then stomped on him hard.

The dull sound was accompanied by the sound of cracking rocks. Wen Xishu even felt a gust of air rushing towards him.

The road surface cracked instantly under this heavy stomping.

At this time, Wen Xishu's hand speed soared, and he smoothly performed a double jump followed by a half-moon slash. The recoil plus the double jump allowed Zheng Zai to accurately avoid the collapsed road surface.

"Damn... your combo is amazing, bro. Now we can make a trap!"

What appeared before the two of them was a road surface that had collapsed due to being trampled. Although the area was not large, it could continue to expand. If the monsters came, the dense numbers would definitely cause a large-scale collapse.

Wen Xishu pointed forward and said with a smile:

"What we need to do is indeed rely on traps to kill monsters, but we have to assume that monsters have intelligence. After all, they are already mid-level normal species. It is possible that they will not step on such an obvious trap. Moreover, this does not count as a kill because the wrench was not used."

"So, we have to find a way to use the wrench to make a trap, and it just so happens that it can really be done."
