Chapter 224: The Ark's Ups and Downs in the Sea of Sin
Chapter 224: The Ark: The End of the Sea of Sin
After the journey to the Tower of Desire ended and Wen Xishu returned to the Ark again, the surrounding scene had not changed much.
But some dead people came back to life - such as General Raynor of the Ark. This makes sense, because something changed at the source, causing the future to change.
Renault did not die in the small world of Sirius.
The challenge of the Trick Tower has changed from awakening Sirius to awakening the people of the Ark. This even includes Antoine, Nicola, and Renault, who were originally capable people.
But it did not include von Neumann.
In other words, in the future, the captain's weakness path has become stronger, but it is no longer aimed at Sirius alone, but at everyone.
But Wen Xishu has completed all the challenges.
Wen Xishu was not unfamiliar with this scene.
If the source of the Tower of Desire has changed, then the Tower of Strangeness will change accordingly. It is possible that the difficulty of the level will be downgraded, or there may be no downgrade but only changes due to too many other unexplored factors.
Wen Xishu's current experience is not much different from his previous experience in the strange tower. He needs to find lost concepts in various worlds with strange rules. The only difference is that avoiding the behemoth in the sea of sin has turned into avoiding the mental sweep of the captain and von Neumann.
But because Sirius is gone, these worlds with strange rules are purely spiritual worlds. For Wen Xishu, who has a certain mental resistance and has nightmare pardon and personality party, the difficulty is much lower than the previous version of the strange tower.
In addition, the patterns on the blue sun, although from a historical perspective, have almost never appeared... but Wen Xishu still remembers it.
Yin Junchi's sacrifice was rewarded. The pattern on the blue sun did have a magical effect and seemed to restrain the captain's weak path.
Therefore, Wen Xishu has found the most important concept and knows how to bring this concept back to everyone's mind.
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he immediately understood the results of the simulation.
"The storyline of the Tower of Desire has been changed. The current quest of the Tower of Tricksters is to wake everyone up. Just like before, with the end of the journey to the Tower of Desire, the journey to the Tower of Tricksters is also almost complete."
"But now I have returned to the correct timeline. Compared to the Desire Tower, this is the future version of the Desire Tower..."
"So, is Horne here?"
"Did I wake Horn again?"
Wen Xishu really wanted to try to contact Horn, but he did not have the ability to do so. As more and more people woke up, the Ark soon became lively.
The captain who tried to enslave everyone and turn them into "nutrients", and von Neumann, the Ark's top master, obviously had more evil plans. After Sirius was rescued, they seemed to have found a way to replace him.
But now, everything has been destroyed by Wen Xishu again.
Wen Xishu suddenly understood why Pisces' favorability was deducted more...
"I see. I understand. I didn't expect there is such a cause and effect."
"I know very well that Horn's obsession is to save the Ark and liberate the Ark. He is willing to risk his life for this thing."
"In the Desire Tower, although I kidnapped Sirius, if I had chosen to take Horn with me, then Horn would not have become the later Slaughter Horn."
"Naturally, Horn's subsequent fate will not exist. Then the captain, von Neumann, and even the Pisces people, although they have lost Sirius, there will be no obstacles to the subsequent correction plan."
"But since I used the ability to load the save file that Scorpio left me..."
"Horn's fate has also been determined. He changed something, which caused Scorpio to have a greater favorability towards me and Pisces to have a greater decrease in favorability towards me."
"It's so much fun."
"Horn must still be on this Ark. This awakening will definitely be of great help to Horn."
Wen Xishu really wanted to stay a little longer, so that he could use the time delay of the strange tower to find out what Horn had done.
Horn's experience is indeed rich.
As a non-Longxia person and a person whose legs cannot move, Horn also entered the time turbulence, but Horn was different from Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu’s main mission is to save Sirius.
Horn, on the other hand, explored the world outside the Ark, looking for a way to check and balance the captain and others.
The Free State’s doomsday avoidance plan is the Ark Plan, while Long Xia’s doomsday avoidance plan is the Dragon Hidden Chosen Plan and the Underground Fortress.
When everyone chose to abandon the fortress and seek refuge in the Windy City——
Even though Horn also entered Windy City, even though Horn knew that it would be safer to stay in Windy City... he still chose to leave Windy City.
It's very simple, Wind City is a safe haven, and ordinary people stationed here think that there are monsters with red aura protecting them.
But those monsters might have the same idea. This place is already a refuge, and has been changed into a correct answer by a powerful being.
Although there are many powerful creatures here, their personalities seem to be inclined towards defense rather than expansion.
So Horn left the Windy City and went to an extremely dangerous place.
But Wen Xishu didn't know all this. Even in the future timeline, Wen Xishu in Fengcheng didn't know all this.
As the countdown to return begins...
Wen Xishu suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be his journey.
At least this time, Ark's rule will not be truly overthrown. Perhaps in the future, at a higher level, he will come to Ark again.
In other words, in the more distant battlefield of the Three Towers War, he would see the power of the Ark.
But Wen Xishu knew very well that since time did not allow him to do more, it meant that he had already reached his limit.
Just leave everything to fate.
When Wen Xishu was about to leave, everyone in the Ark regained their will, and gradually, the Ark was no longer lifeless.
This ark will also usher in a new resistance and uprising.
Wen Xishu smiled:
"Horn, I wish you all the best and hope to see you again in the future."
The familiar, crisscrossing white threads begin to disintegrate and weave the scene.
In a trance, Wen Xishu seemed to see a figure with flowing golden hair in the disintegrating scene.
But it was only for a moment.
Then, the familiar door and clock appeared in Wen Xishu's sight.
……
……
The place of guidance.
Before Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he heard the new version of the exaggerated laughter, but at the end of the laughter, there was a reproach -
"Bang bang bang bang bang~ You really don't want to listen to any advice." said the black weird head of the guide.
Wen Xishu raised his eyebrows and habitually began to check his panel. (Note 1)
The harvest was fruitful. Due to the leapfrog challenge brought by the three highs, Wen Xishu's inventory and sequence column grids increased.
Wen Xishu was no longer a newbie. His current access rights, except for certain items and facilities, would be transferred to him by the guide. Normally, Wen Xishu could directly access other items. This time, in addition to the overall improvement of level and panel, Wen Xishu also gained a very interesting rune.
The guide said:
"You seem to be able to bypass some mechanisms and challenge levels that don't belong to you. This is good. The Trickster Tower will give you something to defeat it."
"That's the fun of exploring the spooky tower."
"But you should remember what I said. Don't jump too fast. Why don't you try to take small steps forward? Taking big steps is risky."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"I remember that. Don't worry. I also realized through this journey that some levels are indeed too early for me."
The one who spoke was the Red Killer: "Indeed, although you have once again changed the future, if you are very powerful... then you should know that you can do more."
Wen Xishu did not deny it. If he was stronger——
Then many situations might be solved more easily. Wen Xishu thought about it and realized that he had no choice about the result of the crazy dice.
It's impossible not to use it, right? It would be a waste if I didn't use it.
But this time he really learned his lesson.
The black trick head also returned to the topic:
"You have met a powerful being again. Although the gains are not as good as the one in the mental hospital, you can't say he was stingy with what he gave you... No, he was actually very generous."
Wen Xishu had already checked his own panel and indeed felt the generosity.
Rare and unique rune: Beast trapped in the ground.
Although it is a rare and unique rune, it can be used in any sequence. It is best to use a sequence that can be used in any tower series, such as a three-tower sequence.
As for the effect, it is also simple and crude.
Rune Introduction: Sirius likes to create strange and bizarre worlds. He is like a duck in water in all kinds of worlds, because he seems to be able to adapt to all strange worlds. Now, you also have this ability.
Rune effect: When your physical condition is below the average level, the lower the condition, the greater the correction of the "geographical advantage" rule you will receive.
The description was a bit vague, but Wen Xishu seemed to understand it.
If you have the right time, the right place, and the right people, you can win every battle.
And the thing bestowed by Sirius is to give me constant geographical advantages.
When facing a powerful enemy and being injured, you will gain the advantage of terrain.
"According to the description, I got a rule correction... In other words, when facing a strong enemy, the more serious my injuries are, the more rules will be generated around me that are favorable to me."
As for the specific rules and effects of geographical advantages, Wen Xishu was not clear.
But he could feel the importance of this rune.
This is a passive, constantly effective rune. Combined with Sirius's three-tower sequence, Creation of Realms, Sirius is actually very powerful.
But now, Sirius gave him a very important part.
Wen Xishu couldn't help but sigh, although these constellations, gods, etc. are very dangerous. But they are all very generous.
Just like Scorpio.
"If... I chose Pisces in Niqi Apartment, I wonder what I will get?"
In the Three Towers War, the twelve constellations each fought for their own camp. Due to the intertwined interests, some constellations were hostile to each other, while others secretly formed alliances.
Wen Xishu knew very well that there was no way to have the best of both worlds.
He didn't hesitate:
"Are there other rewards this time?"
"Bang bang bang bang~ Of course, your overall evaluation is level six completion. In fact, this time you have level seven completion, but your strength is not enough to trigger a deeper level of tasks."
“But even so, it’s remarkable that you were able to cross the levels and reach this level of completion, and save extremely important characters.”
“You get the technology and the facilities.”
Wen Xishu said:
"Level 6?"
He thought about it and perhaps understood it.
He liberated Sirius, but did not truly liberate the Ark. His abilities were limited... He awakened everyone, which might allow Horn to threaten the captain again.
This is also the future of the Ark, no longer a dark ending of being enslaved by the captain.
In other words, I opened up the situation myself.
But then again, if he were to be honest and climb up step by step, perhaps by the time he reached the 60th floor... he would have enough skills to fight the captain and von Neumann.
At that time, maybe it would not be about opening up the situation, but about directly achieving a perfect ending.
Of course, you can skip levels and use luck and strategy, but in fact, if you take steady steps and have stronger strength, you will always have more ideas for passing the levels.
Wen Xishu thought of one thing. In the rest area of the Desire Tower, Jiang Xue said that the old principal had broken through the ninety-seventh floor. Maybe the old principal could have done it a long time ago, but what he pursued was steady and steady progress, not radical advances.
The guide from the Three Pagodas said:
"A new level will be created in the bunker to store the facility you acquired - the fishery. All the people in the bunker will gain the ability 'Iron Lung'."
"Everyone in the bunker will be able to hold their breath underwater for a long time. When you return to the bunker, they will sing your praises."
"You know, there are many bunker people who have never seen the sea in their lives. The fishing ground is a simulated ocean. It will regularly refresh various fish supplies based on the exploration level of the bunker people's three towers."
Wen Xishu was surprised:
"You mean, the bunker will go from the sixteenth floor to the seventeenth floor?"
The guide smiled and said:
"Bang bang bang bang~ That's it. The bunker will continue to acquire various things. When some things can't fit in, new levels will be created."
"Of course, you can choose whether it is the seventeenth floor, the first floor, or any other level."
Wen Xishu didn't think much about it:
"Let's go to the bottom layer. If you haven't seen the sea, your life will be full of regrets."
The guide shrugged, and all three heads shook.
As the guide made the arrangements, and Wen Xishu made the decision—
The bunker began to undergo a dramatic change.
At this moment, the elevator on the bottom floor suddenly had an area that could be lowered. And soon, the news that there was a sea in the bunker would reach everyone's ears.
Wen Xishu thought that Sirius and others knew about the three towers, and Sirius’ ability was to create a small world.
He smiled. Now, Sirius gave him a sea... a sea without scarlet breath and rich in resources.
Wen Xishu suddenly became very much looking forward to Hercules, Monoceros, and Lyra.
Unlike the twelve zodiac signs, these five weaker zodiac signs look more like... five people with special qualifications.
"Okay, everything is settled. It's time for you to return to your own world."
Wen Xishu thought about it and realized that it was true. He had to go back and check to make sure that "Tang Rui" didn't play any tricks on the "visitors" from the Weird Tower Academy.
