Chapter 225 The Sea of Stars
Chapter 225 The Sea of Stars
The familiar hot tea for moistening the throat and the familiar hot towel for applying to the face.
When Wen Xishu returned, he was immediately warmly received. But it was not from Jabbar, but from Zhenbal, the spirit, as the principal called it.
As the spirit of the Guita Academy, he has been waiting for Wen Xishu's return for a long time.
"Dean, you have worked hard. I believe you have gained a lot from this trip." Ling's tone was really similar to that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Wen Xishu smiled. It seemed...
At the principal's suggestion, Zhenbal went to consult Jabeur.
Wen Xishu said:
"Strange Tower Academy, is there anything going on recently?"
The temple spirit frowned:
"We received a lot of complaints. Many people from the Desire Tower Academy explored the Weird Tower Academy. Although they signed a waiver of liability, they were in such a mess that I put them in the Weird Tower Academy's facilities—"
Wen Xishu immediately interrupted the courtyard spirit:
"What do you mean?"
The abbot answered truthfully:
"You know, we are upside down. Weird Tower Academy seems to enjoy another kind of gravity."
"For those who are not in the Guita Academy, such as students from the Luta Academy and the Desire Academy in the campus, they only need to look up to see the bird's-eye view of the Guita Academy."
Wen Xishu nodded, that's right. Weird Tower Academy is under a special force field, as if it is hanging upside down in the sky.
"And those who failed in the challenge of the simulation facility... that is, those who failed in the challenge of Ms. Tang Rui, suffered various defeat scenes, including but not limited to peeing, crying, fainting, and talking nonsense..."
"I have compiled all of them into a collection for outsiders to watch. They only need to look up to see the failures of various challengers."
"But this has also led to - our college is now criticized a lot, and many people have complained about us."
Wen Xishu held his forehead with his hand:
"Who told you to do this on your own initiative?"
The temple spirit sighed:
"I may not be smart enough. I tried to guess what you meant. After all, you greeted Ms. Tang Rui and asked them to scare them to tears..."
"So I thought you needed to make everyone realize that climbing the spooky tower is not easy, so I did this."
A good housekeeper should put his master's worries first.
But obviously, Zhenbal had overdone it. After all, who wants to show their embarrassment to the whole school?
This group of people came with great momentum, wanting to prove that the Ghost Tower was nothing more than that, but in the end they were humiliated and their dignity was trampled upon.
Of course, Wen Xishu didn’t think this was a big problem.
While exploring the Niqi Apartment, Xiaowu, A Miao, Wen Xiange and others, each of them experienced despair and distortion in a specific room.
In the mental hospital museum, you even have to face the monsters in real life.
Not to mention the embarrassing Deer Island and the hostile Cloud City border.
In comparison, Tang Rui's mental invasion must not be as severe as these places, and there is no danger to life.
"Since this is the case, let's just leave it as it is. They are just experiencing embarrassment and distress, but those who really climb the spooky tower are experiencing real danger."
"Don't worry about it. You did the right thing. But next time, after you understand my intention, you can consider being gentler and consider other people's face."
Wen Xishu smiled and didn't blame Yuan Ling too much.
The abbot is very grateful:
"The first batch of students will be enrolled soon. The current enrollment plan is as follows. First, we will accept voluntary applications for transfer to other schools. In other words, if there are students from Luta College and Yuta College who are willing to come to Guita College, they can be exempted from the entrance examination."
"Then, considering that the number of people that can be accommodated in the Weird Tower Academy is limited, and considering that the Weird Tower Academy's positioning is to cultivate elites who can deal with various Weird Tower scenarios, we will conduct exams and recruit eighteen-year-olds."
"The exam will be arranged within a week. Currently, there are twelve students from the Slaughter Tower who are willing to transfer to our Gui Tower."
"And there is one person from the Desire Tower Academy who is willing to transfer to our Guile Tower."
Wen Xishu was amused by the huge disparity in the ratio and the extremely small number of people overall.
But Wen Xishu was not in a hurry:
"Okay, everything will proceed as normal. We will train as many people as we can recruit."
The temple spirit nodded:
"Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Wen Xishu thought for a moment:
"Can you help me contact the principal?"
The spirit of the temple bowed:
"Of course, I'll contact you right away. He actually just came back not long ago."
Wen Xishu still has some things he wants to discuss with the principal.
He now felt a little confused.
……
……
During the two days when Wen Xishu was away, Guita Academy relied on its hardcore terror to resist the invasion of Yuta Academy.
But the results were not very good.
After all, those unconvinced children from Yuta Academy were all frightened, some even suffered trauma.
But Guita Academy actually showed their embarrassment and made them lose face in the school. This is morally wrong.
They can make a fuss about this and put these things on the scale.
But what’s interesting is that these people soon realized that public opinion was not on their side.
because--
Thanks to Wen Xishu, 99 percent of the people in the bunker are no longer landlubbers.
[Based on the influence of the bunker climber Wen Xishu, all bunker residents will gain the "iron lung" - the ability to hold their breath underwater for a long time.]
At the beginning, people were a little confused. Can this ability be used?
But soon, the Three Towers Academy, the Xishu Cult, and various institutions in the bunker all began to publicize one thing.
But within half an hour, except for those who were still climbing the tower and had not returned, everyone who was still in the bunker got the news.
The sea is coming.
The bunker went from sixteen floors to seventeen floors.
The bottom floor of the bunker has become a sea area!
The scene was extremely shocking, and for a moment the elevator was full of people.
Everyone wants to see what the sea is.
Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen.
The sky and the sea, many people cannot imagine what they are before they climb the tower.
People can only rely on the illustrations in the books to make associations.
There is no one who doesn't want to see the sea, because they have never seen the sea.
Even though some students had seen it in the Desire Tower, it was only a brief glimpse.
The view from the bottom floor at this moment is enough to shock people. The ceiling of the bunker simulates a clear blue cloudless sky.
Thanks to people's exploration, this sea area is full of vitality.
There are even seabirds in the sky.
This scene is no different from the real sea.
The students of Yuta Academy soon received the scene maps. After seeing these maps, all their dissatisfaction with Wen Xishu disappeared immediately.
At least I dare not mention it now, because what Wen Xishu brought this time was too shocking.
"Iron lungs, the ocean... we can finally play in the ocean!"
"The bunker will get better and better! With the Wen Xi Tree, we might... see more magnificent scenes, right?"
"I can't wait to go swimming!"
"I have to contact my dad. I have to start a swimsuit industry!"
"Yes, yes, I also have to contact my dad and get on good terms with Dean Wen. If I can get the coastline land from Dean Wen, my dad will have no problem getting the Government Affairs Bureau to work with him! Then we can build a sea view villa! Do I still need to study?"
"That's right, fishing, sea navigation, and angling industries all need to be developed!"
Many of the students at Yuta Academy are young men. Although they live a life of luxury and most of them are prodigals, some of them do have strong business acumen.
Often these people have high energy and come from good families.
For example, the William family among the six major families can almost be said to be the richest family in the bunker.
The young master of the William family has seen countless business opportunities at this moment.
If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea.
The bunker is next to three towers, so you can only climb the towers. But now, the bunker has a sea. And the sea belongs to Wen Xishu, after all, it was brought by Wen Xishu.
William Hockner, the son of the William family, immediately realized that Wen Xishu was truly the future of the bunker.
The Miyamoto family, one of the six major families, was bullied by Wen Xishu, and he felt a sense of solidarity with them.
But now, due to vested interests, William Hockner has decided to lick the dean well.
All the plans of those students just now - have to be monopolized by the William family.
Of course, you have to show sincerity to please Wen Xishu. People like Wen Xishu, like the old principal, are very stubborn.
"You have to show your kindness first."
The young master of the William family quickly made up his mind:
"I need to organize a party and invite all the students who have participated in the exploration of the Weird Tower Academy, as well as all the powerful students in the Desire Tower Academy. I need to express my ideas to them."
William Hawkner knew very well that there were no roads in this world. When more people walked on it, it became a road. And after many roads were opened up, only those who could widen the road could make it the correct main road.
"From today on, no one in my William family will be allowed to insult Dean Wen."
……
……
Bottom layer, coastline.
There were already many people on the beach, and even quite a few in the sea.
Wen Xishu doesn't yearn for the sea that much.
after all--
He had only been here a few months, so he hadn't forgotten what the sea was.
Albert, on the other hand, was at the beach, punching the water like a little kid, stirring up the waves.
Wen Xishu was stunned by such powerful strength.
This is a bunker, not three towers.
Albert is simply superman.
"Hahahahahahaha…this is so funny! Dean Wen, you really brought a surprise to everyone in the bunker this time!"
Albert's hearty laughter appeared.
Wen Xishu did not deny this.
"Principal, I have some questions to ask you." Wen Xishu said.
Albert's smile remained unchanged:
"It seems that this experience has made you confused?"
Wen Xishu decided to share some of his experiences:
"You know, there are twelve powerful constellations in the Three Towers War."
Albert shrugged.
"Of course, they are a group of difficult characters. Their existence makes me understand why Lao Jin is unwilling to break through the 100th floor with me."
Wen Xishu said:
"They are actually enemies of each other. It is said that their destiny is to kill each other. Only the one who survives can become a true god."
Albert's expression remained unchanged:
"Keep talking."
Wen Xishu nodded:
"As far as I know, in addition to the twelve constellations, there are also Sirius, Lyra, Hercules, Monoceros, and Phoenix."
"The five of them have very special abilities, but compared to the twelve constellations, they are extremely weak."
"I was fortunate enough to come into contact with two, Phoenix and Sirius. And I also gained their friendship."
Albert patted Wen Xishu on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up:
"amazing."
Wen Xishu also expressed his dilemma at this time:
"I promised Phoenix that if I find the other five weaker constellations... I will send a receipt letter through the guide."
"But I didn't do that. Because I have a pretty good relationship with another sign, Scorpio."
"It may seem strange to you... I really feel that Scorpio is like my younger brother."
Albert was slightly moved, but didn't say much.
People on the beach were laughing and playing, but no one dared to approach Albert and his friends.
It seems natural that there is a sense of oppression and aura that isolates everyone.
Wen Xishu said:
"I saw the future, and I was good in the future... I even helped Scorpio and started to fight Leo."
"In fact, Scorpio really helped me a lot."
"Scorpio wanted to kill Sirius, and Phoenix wanted to take Sirius in. But Sirius chose to leave me, seemingly accepting the fate arranged by Scorpio."
"So I'm stuck. I want Sirius to be alive..."
"But in the future, I will receive an invitation from Scorpio to fight against Leo. I guess that special battlefield was created by Sirius' ability."
Wen Xishu remembered the strange chessboard.
There are churches, prisons, and various other buildings, combined with the rune he has obtained now, the Earthly Beast... perhaps everything now is preparing for the future cooperation with Scorpio.
"The future I saw...seems pretty good. Although I'm facing a strong enemy, I'm calm in the future. This future basically means that Scorpio has obtained the ability of Sirius."
"Sirius might die."
"But if I choose to send the return receipt letter...Sirius won't die, but there may be great changes in the future."
"I don't quite know what I should do."
Albert gave a direct answer:
"Don't send a return letter. Respect Sirius's choice. In other words... in terms of interests, I tend to help Scorpio."
Wen Xishu asked:
"why?"
Albert said:
"Phoenix is running away from the battlefield, but we can't run away from the battlefield."
"Look at this sea, is it beautiful? Of course it is beautiful, but if I could see the future like you... I could see that one day people would sail in bunkers and marvel at the beauty of the sea in bunkers..."
"I don't care too much about this future. It's beautiful, but not enough. I would rather see my future self die in a brutal battle than see my future self..."
“Soak up the ocean views from the bunker.”
Wen Xishu's fingers trembled slightly. The old principal was really a sharp man.
Albert looked out to sea:
"This sea is really nice, but it's not vast enough. It's far from the boundless sea I've seen!"
"The ceiling above my head simulates a great sky, but it's far inferior to the real sky full of stars!"
"Let Sirius die where he should, and let Scorpio and you defeat the enemies you really should defeat. This is the future I want to see."
Albert clearly said these words with a smile, but to Wen Xishu, it felt so murderous.
This old man is never confused.
At this moment, Wen Xishu thought of Horn again.
He suddenly understood.
In Horn's eyes, the Ark is not the correct answer, and he is eager to turn the Ark into the correct answer.
People in Longxia, Free State, and around the world all have their own correct answers.
In comparison, the bunker seems to be more correct than the Ark, or even all other answers. As a result, the bunker is also more suitable for human habitation than the Ark.
But in Albert's eyes, the correct answer is not the bunker, but the world that originally belonged to humans.
Wen Xishu's eyes became firm:
"Okay, I know what to choose. Thank you, old principal."
Albert laughed:
“Hahahahaha, Dean Wen, don’t be so polite. No matter what the future holds, for now, at least today, please enjoy this sea.”
Wen Xishu is not too interested in the sea:
"By the way, you have reached the ninety-seventh floor. Do you have any interesting experiences?"
Albert's smile faded a lot, and he thought for a moment:
"I actually have some discoveries that I want to tell you. It just so happens that I should take you... to meet my old friend."
Wen Xishu also became serious. It sounded like there was a lot of new information on the ninety-seventh floor.
