Chapter 171 Comprehensive improvement
The bunker is partying.
With Wen Xishu's frequent completion of level 6, the bunker has accumulated an astonishing amount of supplies in the past month or so.
The bunker also briefly achieved... the point where supplies could even be wasted.
Various facilities that can convert food into alcohol have begun to operate quietly, waiting for the carnival night.
Those who were displaced and moved from the bottom level to the third level finally stopped being sad and showed joy.
This is especially true of the inhabitants of the third level itself.
If the first and second layers were destroyed by the Great Devouring, then the people at the bottom would be transferred to the third layer. This would be an absolute disaster for the people at the third layer.
It's like, your originally livable city is suddenly flooded with a large group of black refugees, whose number even exceeds the original total population of the city. Public security and quality of life will decline rapidly in a short period of time.
But with the appearance of Wen Xishu, the people on the third floor began to be happy, because the lower two floors were saved. This also meant that the overall structure of the bunker would not change.
People began to prepare for a carnival feast, as if they had won a battle.
This time, many people have realized that the time has come to fully develop the Strange Tower.
Then it is very likely that -
This may be the last great devouring.
……
……
Wen Xishu didn't know what those people in the bunker who were not responsible for destroying the vortex were thinking.
He is currently at the place where the people are being led.
Wen Xishu eliminated the orange vortex three times in a row. The first time, he obtained the three-tower sequence, and the second time, he obtained the power of hidden dragon and rising blood mist.
This time, he got sequences. A surprising amount of them.
"It's broken. My sequence bar is completely insufficient."
Looking at his attribute panel, Wen Xishu had a happy worry.
[Codename: Wen Xishu.]
[Slaughter Tower Level: 15. Killing Value Limit: 170. ]
[Strange Tower Level: 30. Magic Resistance: 54 points.]
[Desire Tower Level: 30. Luck Value: 54 points.]
[Number of sequence slots: 4.
Already have the sequence: Weird Sequence 37: Spiritual Barrage. This sequence is not tradable.
Killing Sequence 199: Ultimate Kick. This sequence can be traded.
Three Towers Sequence 35: Tower Force Absorption. This sequence cannot be traded. 】
This is the upper half of Wen Xishu’s current panel, except that the Desire Tower level has increased by one level, and there is one more sequence slot.
The level of the strange tower has not changed, because at this stage, the upgrade has reached a snail's pace.
Originally it seemed that not much had changed.
Up to now, Wen Xishu has the following sequence runes: Mixed Feelings, Guiding the Undead, Power of Hidden Dragon, Rising Blood Mist, and Arnold's Energy Conservation.
Mixed emotions, the guidance of the undead, and Arnold's energy conservation are all part of the mental barrage.
The hidden power of the dragon and the rising blood mist are a kick at the limit of the sequence.
But all this is only the first half.
For the first time, Wen Xishu discovered that there was too much data displayed in the mirror and he actually needed to turn the page on his own panel.
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought that the resonance of the three realms must have taken effect.
With a slight slide of his finger upwards, the second page of information appeared, which surprised Wen Xishu.
[Already have sequence——]
[Sequence of Desire 205: Rising Confession. Effect: Once activated, the target will easily confess to you the evil deeds they have done in the past, and there is a low chance that they will have an epiphany of uncertain level during the confession. Awakening effect: If a certain amount of tower power is consumed, the target can have a great enlightenment, and even produce the effect of Dragon Field Enlightenment.]
This is indeed a sequence that can form a routine with the Evil Land Kingdom.
Wen Xishu had discovered long ago that some sequences were not strong when taken alone, but as long as he could find the corresponding sequence that formed the routine...
It can be very interesting, or very confusing.
"This sequence has no combat value... but who knows, it might be able to change someone who still has a conscience with its secret technique? It is indeed very suitable for use in the Desire Tower."
"Unfortunately, the Ascension effect is for the NPCs in the Desire Tower. It would be much better if it was for me."
Despite this, Wen Xishu was still very satisfied and began to look at the next sequence.
[Killing Sequence 205: Killing Intent Blockade. Effect: You can block your desire to attack. Once activated, no one will be able to sense you from the perspective of fighting desire or murderous intent.]
There was no mention of the awakening effect, which made Wen Xishu very concerned.
"Don't you have it... or do you need me to develop it slowly?"
I always feel that this ability is useless.
But Wen Xishu didn't care because he had obtained extra sequences.
[Strange Sequence 205: Nightmare Absolution. Passive permanent sequence, no need to be activated. Effect: When encountering certain enemies that attack in dreams, you can obtain random rule absolution. However, this sequence will cause the owner to have nightmares more frequently. However, some nightmares may have a prophetic effect.]
"It doesn't have the awakening effect either... It seems that some sequences really don't have the awakening effect?"
"The sequence numbers are too far back. These three sequences are not very powerful. They can only be used in very few special scenarios. They are like targeted drugs. The last nightmare pardon does have an advantage, predicting the future? But nightmares need to be interpreted, right?"
Having said that... Wen Xishu still didn't feel uncomfortable.
Because, there are three more sequences.
Yes, this time Wen Xishu obtained a total of two sequences, one from exploration within the mission, and the other from the mission reward.
It is possible to obtain a sequence as a mission reward, but the probability is very low.
Under the influence of the resonance of the three realms, the two sequences became six sequences.
When Wen Xishu asked about the reward, the guide with a black weird head laughed so hard that his three heads shook, but no laughter could be heard:
"The reward this time is very generous. Although you did not reach the seventh level of completion, you unlocked a key figure and used an extremely innovative idea to break the situation... which led to a significant change in the future situation."
"Congratulations, you have obtained the sequence and the rewards for the entire human camp."
It was after this sentence that Wen Xishu began to review his battle results.
[Strange Sequence 99: Personality Party. A passive permanent sequence and an active activation sequence. Passive effect: You will occasionally see another personality of yours materialize. This personality is visible only to you and has extremely limited abilities. Active activation effect: All personalities are summoned. The secondary personality has the same abilities as the main personality, and has the same sequence, sequence runes, and panel attributes, but no props. Note: This sequence may cause the owner to become crazy and sensitive.]
Personality Party...
In a sense, it can be considered as summoning a clone.
But whether it is sequence 99 or sequence 205... sequences with strange prefixes, there are risks.
In fact, mental barrage also has risks. If the user does not have strong emotional management ability, mental barrage is equivalent to a self-destructive device for inner thoughts.
"Does the style of the weird sequence have side effects? But these side effects don't seem to be unavoidable..."
"Personality Party, worthy of being in the top 100. In a sense, this is the clone technique, and its strength is not compromised."
"Not bad. I'm not going to be crazy and sensitive, am I?"
Wen Xishu felt that even with this sequence, he wouldn't look at the people around him and shout "I can't tell the difference, I really can't tell the difference", right?
His gaze began to look towards the next sequence.
Without a doubt, this is a harvest time.
[Desire Sequence 99: Conformism. The effect is that once it is actively used on the target, it will eliminate the target's creativity, causing the target to ignore changes in the environment and behave in a way that best fits their stereotype.]
When Wen Xishu saw that the new desire sequence did not have the awakening effect even though it adhered to the rules, he became convinced that some sequences simply could not be awakened.
This sequence is quite interesting...
"In fact, it's more like an active stealth sequence. It allows the target to ignore changes in the environment. The biggest environmental change in the Desire Tower is my appearance. For people who don't have looping memories, everything around them is changing..."
"But for people with recurrent memory, everything around them is a repetition of the same scene that has happened many times."
"This is simply a divine sequence for dealing with Honkai Impactors."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but look at the guide:
"This reward is too good."
Black Head said:
"Of course, the Three Towers encourage some behaviors. The first is your tower climbing frequency, and the second is your tower climbing level. Normally, you can't face the twenty-fifth to fortieth floors of the Weird Tower at this stage, but now you are facing the vortex directly, causing you to skip a level."
“Although this will not change the logic of your tower climbing level, it is a real achievement.”
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Very reasonable."
Next is the final sequence.
[Killing Order 99: Perfect Parry. Actively activated, you will have a short invincibility frame (0.25s) when facing an attack. If you block the opponent's attack during the invincibility frame, your defense will be indestructible and the opponent will be paralyzed. Cooldown time: 12 seconds.]
A defensive killing sequence. Or in other words, a survival killing sequence. Wen Xishu became interested. Of course, he saw the shortcomings of this sequence——
First of all, the way of attacking in the real world is definitely different from that in the game world.
In the game, one attack counts as one attack, but in reality, attacks are often multi-stage. For example, this ability cannot be used to deal with Gatling gun fire.
It also cannot be used to defend against certain means of continuous attack effects, such as burning.
"But this ability, which can be ranked at Sequence 99... must have plasticity."
"The cooldown time is very short. If combined with certain sequence runes, it might become very powerful. From the overall description, it doesn't look strong, but this thing contains a conceptual thing - invincibility."
"It can also put the target into a state of stiffness. I need to test the effect of stiffness."
This is a sequence where the faster the reaction speed, the stronger the ability to control the body... the stronger the actual combat effect.
Wen Xishu thought it was quite interesting.
If Albert hits me with his ultimate punch... can I deflect it?
Of course, Wen Xishu couldn't react to Albert's attack, but it was feasible.
"How can I quickly obtain the sequence column?" Wen Xishu looked at the guide.
The guide’s answer was simple:
“Climb the tower.”
At this stage, Wen Xishu has enough sequences, nine sequences, but only four sequence columns.
Once a sequence is activated, it cannot be changed within a short period of time.
However, the area where the guide is located and the preparation area of the three towers can be changed at will.
Wen Xishu thought about it and decided not to activate other sequences for the time being. He only installed the Three Towers Sequence·Tower Force Absorption, the Killing Sequence·Extreme Kick, the Killing Sequence·Perfect Counter, and the Weird Sequence·Spiritual Barrage.
Considering that personality parties are likely to cause some unstable personalities to act up...
Wen Xishu doesn't plan to equip it for the time being.
When I was sleeping at Santa Academy...it would be troublesome if some of my bad personality traits came out and caused trouble.
Wen Xishu doesn't think he is a good person. There is definitely something extremely bad in his personality.
After checking the sequence, Wen Xishu said:
"You said I got a reward from the entire camp this time? What was it?"
"You'll find out once you get back to the bunker. Everyone will be grateful to you. I'm really curious how long it will take you to climb to the top of the bunker's political hierarchy."
The black weird head smiled, but his mouth never closed.
Wen Xishu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Are you laughing? Don't you usually have a lot of strange laughs?"
"Ah! Did you finally notice it? See, I told you he could notice it, right? Well, this time I imitated the laughter of a bat! You know, human ears can't hear it!"
I opened my mouth wide and tried to laugh, but no sound came out...
Wen Xi's bark is smiling but his inner body is not, which gives people a childish feeling.
But he thought about it...
If I were a guide, facing countless bunker players, giving repeated instructions, and being trapped in such a place, there is a high probability that I would choose to find joy in suffering, right?
"I have to get back to the bunker, you three. I'll come see you again soon. Well, I look forward to hearing new laughter from you."
After Wen Xishu finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
After he disappeared, the black ghost head suddenly froze.
"He just said he was looking forward to our new laughs?"
Red Head said:
"Yes, you heard that right."
White head nodded:
"He's such a nice guy."
The black ghost head actually felt a little uncomfortable:
"Ah... my self-entertainment has been discovered, but I feel lonely."
Red Head said:
“But we are lonely, aren’t we?”
White desire to shake his head:
"No, you fool, you don't understand. Loneliness is something that only exists when you stop blocking yourself off."
"If he dies, how long will it take for the next person to show up who will care about your laughter?"
Having said that, the red head seemed to become depressed.
……
……
bunker.
When people saw the third vortex falling, they started to celebrate.
Inside the safe house, Evelyn sighed that the scene was like shooting the sun...
But then, even more shocking information came out.
[Based on the influence of the bunker climber Wen Xishu, the life span of all bunker residents is increased by 1 (year). The disease resistance rate of all bunker residents is increased by %. ]
Everyone was familiar with the news. After all, not long ago, they had received news about lifespan +2 and magic resistance +2.
But when similar news appeared again, everyone was still shocked.
The entire bunker was silent for a few seconds.
After these few seconds, the joy in everyone's heart was completely ignited.
The door of the safe house opened and Wen Xishu appeared in everyone's sight.
Evelin looked at Albert’s extremely happy look and couldn’t help but chuckle:
"Welcome back, our hero."
Albert said:
"It seems that you have gained a lot this time."
Wen Xishu did not deny that whether it was meeting Wen Chaohua or obtaining the full six sequences, he felt that the trip was worthwhile.
So he said:
"I won't say anything else, old principal. I'm ready to conquer the next vortex."
Evelin thought to herself: Sure enough, it’s just as Albert said, this kid is really crazy.
Albert said:
"I'm afraid that after the next vortex, the Great Devouring will end. With the emergence of the safe house and your efforts... this is probably the easiest Great Devouring that humankind has ever experienced."
Wen Xishu smiled:
"There is one more thing. I need your help, old principal."
When Wen Xishu said this, he looked at Evelin.
These are the five elders, second only to the legend Albert in the bunker.
The safe house can still retain some of the capabilities of the three towers, so Wen Xishu is still a little concerned about whether the information he mentioned... will be obtained by Evelyn.
Albert said:
"Everyone get out."
The old principal understood what Wen Xishu meant and knew that he wanted to say something extremely important and secret.
Evelyn smiled:
"It seems like you are on guard against me?"
She did not use any desire sequence to undermine Wen Xishu's hostility. If she really wanted to do so, she could definitely do it without anyone noticing.
But Evelin just walked out politely. She didn’t want to be kicked out by Wen Xishu like Liu Zhizai.
The young man in front of Evelin felt like Albert in his youth. He was the kind of person who could do crazy things even without Albert's support.
Watching Evelin leave very calmly, Wen Xishu couldn't help but feel a liking for this elder with outstanding temperament.
Albert said:
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Wen Xishu said lightly:
"Principal, I saw someone I know."
Albert frowned slightly:
"Who?"
Wen Xishu said seriously:
"My brother, Wen Chaohua."
