Chapter 226 Mr. Jin

On the elevator, Wen Xishu and Albert saw a huge crowd of people going down to see the sea.

Among them there are even familiar faces like Xun Hui and A Miao.

However, there were obviously very few people in the elevator going to the upper floors.

Especially after the tenth floor, there was almost no one there. After the twelfth floor, only Wen Xishu and Albert were left.

Albert said:

"In fact, there are still many things to challenge on the ninety-sixth floor, and I can't defeat all enemies easily."

Wen Xishu smiled silently: Good job, I can't defeat all my enemies easily.

Albert continued:

"But I thought I should be able to survive on the ninety-seventh floor... so I tried to break through."

"I told the person I was introduced to that I wanted to move up a level."

Wen Xishu knew that there was indeed such an operation.

But what Albert said next gave Wen Xishu a lot of information:

"But what's interesting is that the guide, the red-headed guy, kept telling me not to take risks."

"It made me think...the ninety-seventh floor was some incredible level."

Slaughter Tower is actually an open world, in fact, if you have enough time, you can bypass the level mechanism.

Beginners appear in the novice area, but can also come to the high-level area through long-distance migration.

But what Albert said next seemed to break this.

Wen Xishu asked:
"and then?"

Albert said:

"Then I insisted on going to the ninety-seventh floor. The guide seemed very depressed. He even played a trick on me."

"I entered the ninety-sixth floor."

Wen Xishu seemed to have heard something wrong.

"But you can actually... enter the ninety-seventh floor area by yourself, right?"

Albert shook his head:

"No, some things are no longer applicable after the 90th floor. Once you break through to the 90th floor, your body will gain a certain proportion of the three tower attributes."

"Do you know how the other five elders were brought to the 90th floor?"

"In fact, Liu Zhizai, William, Luo Feng...they did not break through the ninetieth floor."

"But they can successfully hide in the ladder leaderboard and have a certain proportion of the three towers. This is also the confidence they have in holding power."

"But in reality, they haven't really broken through the ninetieth floor."

Wen Xishu was shocked. Is this really possible?

He probably guessed a possibility:
"Could it be that they were brought into the area on the 90th floor?"

Albert nodded:
"It was Lao Jin who asked us to do this. It was very dangerous...it almost got them killed."

Wen Xishu inexplicably found the old principal's choice of words funny.

Albert also laughed:
"Those cowards were Lao Jin's old subordinates. Lao Jin actually didn't want to climb the tower at that time. I don't know the reason."

"Then Lao Jin didn't want to take care of the bunker anymore. He seemed to have suddenly become a different person... just, uh, became very negative."

"To the point where I felt like he was no longer himself."

"But Lao Jin also knows very well that those in high positions in the bunker need to have unique abilities. Lao Jin knows even better what kind of person I am."

"I'm the type of person who only cares about improving my strength. I'm not interested in managing the bunker. If I showed any interest... among the five elders, except for Evelyn, the others would most likely still be hanging around on the 80th floor."

Wen Xishu said:
"There must be a lot of risk in doing this, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce people with the attributes of the three towers?"

Albert laughed:

"When you reach the 80th floor, I can take you this way... It is indeed very risky."

"After reaching the 80th floor, if you want to enter the 90th floor, no matter how powerful or rare the monsters you hunt are, you can only advance slowly..."

"The few of them, Liu Zhizai, Luo Feng, William Gordon, Matthew Jones...actually, none of them have the qualifications to enter the 90th floor."

"I know you must be confused. In your opinion, the Slaughter Tower is an open world. As long as someone leads you, you can go, right?"

Wen Xishu nodded.

Albert said:

"But it's not like that after the 90th floor. After entering the 90th floor, there will be specific... rules and constraints. If the attributes are not up to standard, the desire to kill will become very strong, and you will be invaded by the mind at all times..."

"The ninety-first floor has more restrictions than the ninety-first floor. And starting from the ninety-first floor... it is an area that cannot be set foot on. Only after staying on the ninety-first floor for a long time and completing an astonishing number of kills, can you enter the ninety-second floor."

"It will be the same from now on. We have to advance slowly on each floor. Only the 90th floor... can be considered a critical point. It can still be forcibly entered by a group of people from the 80th floor."

"Those useless guys almost went crazy on the 90th floor. With their attributes of more than 80 floors, they could probably stay on the 90th floor for half an hour, but during that half an hour... they were in a lot of pain and almost collapsed."

"Fortunately, Lao Jin is very powerful. He led them to kill some monsters by force, and achieved the minimum standard of having three tower attributes."

Wen Xishu heard that Mr. Jin had suppressed the rules and forcibly created a god on his own.

"Old Jin took a risk, but he did create several superhumans other than himself."

"Even though they are not very experienced, they are still more than 80 stories high... If I were to take you there, you wouldn't be able to hold out for even a second. The same goes for Xun Hui."

“So this method is not feasible.”

"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that after the 90th floor, each floor has specific rules."

"I'm so familiar with the ninety-sixth floor that I could tell at a glance... The guide didn't let me level up, but I got a hint. After all, you know, in the Three Towers game, there are always some special hints to tell you how far you have reached in this game."

"Those areas on the ninety-seventh floor... were not open. So I went back to question the guide, and he finally agreed to open the ninety-seventh floor."

Wen Xishu asked:
"So... did you really see the ninety-seventh floor this time?"

Albert nodded:
"Yes, I have reached the real 97th floor. It's okay. I can still hold on. It seems that compared to the 96th floor... the monsters in this area are a little crazier and more distorted."

"Some monsters can't be killed with one punch, which is really troublesome."

Wen Xishu smiled silently again.

One punch can't kill...

Is this your tower climbing journey? Now imagine if Albert's attributes could lead him to the Desire Tower or the Trick Tower...

It's simply a cool story about a dragon who is proud of himself.

"Ninety-seven floors is enough for me to stay here for a long time, but the difficulty level has not increased to a level that I find outrageous."

"It's just that the monster kill requirement for the 97th floor is very high... I feel okay with the difficulty, but I'm not very optimistic about my lifespan..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Albert let out a laugh.

The two had now reached the seventeenth floor, the highest floor of the bunker.

This place is like an ancient imperial palace.

Wen Xishu said:
"It's no problem, may you live a long life..."

After thinking about it, this statement doesn't seem right. If Albert only lived to be a hundred years old, it would be too unprofitable.

"Long live the Lord~" Wen Xishu changed his words.

Albert shook his head:
"Life span is determined by its own limit. By the way, did you hear the point I was trying to make?"

After Wen Xishu pondered for a while, he roughly understood what Albert wanted to say:
"You mean... the guide and the number of monsters on the ninety-seventh floor are holding you back?"

Albert exclaimed:
"Smart, yes. I have a feeling that the guide and the exaggerated number of kills on the 97th floor are all to delay our climb to the top."

"Do you know what the three towers and the bunker make me feel?" Wen Xishu said seriously:
"Please give me some advice."

Albert looked at a palace in the distance, which was a "healing house", a level six facility.

Staying in it can delay aging and increase life expectancy.

But Albert would not waste his time in there, so he did not understand why Lao Jin would degenerate to the point of staying there.

The two of them headed towards the healing house, and Albert replied:

"It's a cage for trapped animals."

Wen Xishu pondered for a moment and seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence. Albert continued:
"If there is a group of people who are in trouble, but as long as there is a way out, they will feel that there is no need to fight hard."

“Not many people are willing to take the initiative to fight back. People often fight back only when they are pushed into a desperate situation.”

"That's what a bunker is to me. It makes people not realize that they are in a desperate situation."

"Of course, my thoughts are extreme. The bunker definitely has more advantages than disadvantages. We have also changed a lot of things with the help of the bunker... But I always feel that people are too lazy. It would be great if everyone worked as hard as you."

But Albert thought about it and decided not to be like Wen Xishu:
"Well... I just need to be a little lazier than you."

Wen Xishu thought he was being praised, but he was also thinking about what Albert said.

The bunker and the three towers, in Wen Xishu's opinion...what is presented is very complicated.

For Albert, the various expansions and changes to the bunker make him feel comfortable.

But the bunker did provide a way for people to survive.

The top floor of the three towers… made Albert feel that the progress was slowing him down. But the three towers also gave power to many people, including Wen Xishu, Xun Hui, and Wen Renjing.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"The three towers and the bunkers have both good and bad sides... It's like a group of people fighting, a composite product made by people with different positions."

Albert praised:
"Is such that."

At this moment, both of them arrived at the door of the "Healing House".

Albert exclaimed:

"Get out here, Lao Jin!"

Wen Xishu was used to hearing Albert speaking to the highest authority in the bunker in a very casual tone. This was Albert's style.

The words "get out" echoed throughout the entire seventeenth floor.

After the 90th floor, you will have a certain proportion of the attributes of the three towers, and this proportion will increase with each level.

It’s hard to imagine what a terrifying character Albert is.

Wen Xishu only felt...

This roar seemed to spread like a storm.

But then, Wen Xishu heard a sigh.

"Hey, there you go again, Albert."

This voice was not as old as Wen Xishu had imagined. In fact... it sounded like the voice of a middle-aged man.

I have to say, the healing house is really something.

"Don't force me to tear down your house, old man. Come out and meet me, or open the door and let me in."

Apparently, the one sighing was Mr. King.

Mr. Jin said:
"My dear friend, Albert, anger is harmful to your health. You should hide in the healing room like me."

Albert was so angry that his beard stood up:
"Old Jin! I brought a young man with me today. He is my companion."

Wen Xishu felt honored to be the fellow traveler, and Lao Jin was silent for a long time.

Lao Jin obviously knows the weight of these three words:
"Congratulations, old friend. But I can't see you, and I can't tell you why."

Albert said again:

"Are you planning to hide away forever?"

Lao Jin changed the subject:

"I'll let my little grandson go with you... He will also be your companion. Later... I'll let him come to see you."

Little Jin? Golden Flash?
Wen Xishu wondered, didn’t this plot happen before?

The old principal originally arranged for Xiao Jin to live in his dormitory with Yue Yun and the others.

Albert was also surprised:
"That little guy? Didn't you already make arrangements for that? Are you getting senile?"

Mr. Jin smiled:

“Albert, good brother, it’s not time for us to meet yet, please cultivate Xiao Jin well.”

Of course, Albert would not really destroy the facilities with one punch and go to see Lao Jin.

He is still very lonely inside, and there are not many people who can be recognized by him.

But at this moment, Albert felt very strange:
"He is certainly talented, but he is not able to help me. Old Jin, I have already broken through to the ninety-seventh floor. Let's go to the top of the Slaughter Tower together and wait for the young people to join us. Isn't that better than wasting our lives?"

"Or do you have some difficulties? You can tell me now!"

Wen Xishu could feel that the old principal actually trusted Mr. Jin very much. Mr. Jin’s inaction... led to corruption in the bunker, but in the eyes of the old principal, that was not a big deal.

Wen Xishu himself also found it very strange.

Would Mr. Jin, a man of such extraordinary talent and former companion whom even the old principal could not forget, really be so cowardly as to hide in a healing room and waste his life?

But Mr. Jin just sighed:
"Go back and cultivate Xiao Jin well... The time is not right yet, the time is not right yet."

Albert was really disappointed.

Are you unwilling to tell me the reason? Are all those life-and-death experiences fake? You don't even trust me?
At this moment, in the healing room, Mr. Jin, who was sitting on a cushion as if meditating, was also in great pain.

"My friend...I really can't go out."

……

Albert and Wen Xishu returned empty-handed.

It was the first time that Wen Xishu saw that even a person as sharp as a sword as the old principal could be helpless at times.

Just as the two of them were taking the elevator to return to the academy, a graceful figure suddenly appeared.

Wen Xishu suddenly felt that all the restlessness in his heart disappeared, and that peaceful and gentle feeling enveloped the entire world.

The fifth elder, the person who truly broke through to the 91st floor of the Desire Tower by his own ability, appeared.

Evelyn.

Evelyn was accustomed to Albert's reaction after being rejected.

"Rejected by Lao Jin again?"

Albert rarely showed a good face to Evelin:
"I'm very upset now... I don't understand what Lao Jin is doing?"

Evelyn said:

"Shall we go to the place where the mirror plays chess? Or go to the Weird Tower Academy? I have something to tell you. About Xiao Jin. That is... the grandson of Old Jin."

Albert was puzzled:

"He seems to have good qualifications, but he can't replace Lao Jin."

Evelyn's words made the story weird:
"What if I tell you that's not Lao Jin's grandson? What if I tell you that... that little guy is not little at all, he's even from the same age as us?"

Wen Xishu widened his eyes and looked at Evelin in disbelief.

At this time, countless thoughts emerged in Wen Xishu's mind, and he seemed to have thought of a possibility.

Albert frowned:
"what are you saying?"
