Chapter 285: Entering the Slaughter Tower Again
Chapter 285: Entering the Slaughter Tower Again
The meeting ended quickly.
Albert was eager to fight. Of course, he knew that Wen Xishu had just returned, and he couldn't drag Wen Xishu to the Lu Tower now.
"Since Xun Huiyou is going, you and Wen Xishu should have a good rest for a day. Everyone needs to be in the best condition."
Xun Hui nodded:
"I see."
Albert left soon.
Xun Hui and Wen Xishu left last. Before leaving, Xun Hui said:
"Climbing the Slaughter Tower, it is actually very difficult to get in touch with the constellations you mentioned, but even if I don't know them, I can imagine how powerful they are."
"They can be said to be the top 'warlords' in the Three Towers War, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"It can be said that they are organized into various forces with different types of people because of their different functions."
Xun Hui looked at Wen Xishu:
"Most of them are hostile to us. Even if they are not hostile, they are just using each other?"
Wen Xishu nodded again, it was indeed true.
Even though he is a Scorpio, Wen Xishu knows that the other party has his own little plans.
Xun Hui said:
"The old man is very strong. I don't even know how strong he is. But he may not win this time. If he dies..."
"Senior, that won't happen." Wen Xishu interrupted Xun Hui's speech.
"I will regret it. If the old principal really dies, I will regret it no matter what. But before I see that future...if you let me choose again, I will still invite the old principal."
Wen Xishu's eyes were clear, and facing Xun Hui's momentum, he did not give in at all.
Xun Hui said no more:
"Then have a good rest. If we could see this match, it would be very useful."
Xun Hui was upright and open-minded. After hearing Wen Xishu say this, he had no intention of blaming Wen Xishu.
……
……
At night, Wen Xishu returned to Guita Academy and did nothing else.
He was really resting well.
William Hawkner came to visit during the trip, but Wen Xishu asked the temple spirit to send him away.
Wen Xishu was actually aware that he seemed to be a variable.
The future we see now can be changed.
It is also uncertain whether the current decision will have a huge butterfly effect, resulting in the old principal being unable to participate in the showdown between Scorpio and Leo.
In fact, he is not as frank as he thinks.
In other words, when faced with the zodiac signs, Wen Xishu also felt a little insecure about the old principal.
Although he had never seen Sagittarius kill anyone, nor had he seen the old principal's performance in the Slaughter Tower.
……
……
The next morning.
When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, Yuan Ling had already prepared breakfast.
Wen Xishu actually hadn't had breakfast for a while and hadn't been living at the pace of a "normal person".
After breakfast, the academy spirit said:
"The principal is waiting for you in the supplies department. He said that if you are well rested, you can head there."
Wen Xishu nodded and set off immediately without delay.
The Logistics Department. Three months ago, when Wen Xishu came here, the first item he rented was from the Logistics Department. It was a prop from the principal - a forgotten key, a simple and crude door-opening prop.
Three months later, the Logistics Department has undergone great changes.
Now a strange tower supply area has appeared in the supply department.
Of course, there weren't many items in the Weird Tower's supply area. There were only a few, most of which were brought by members of the Xishu Cult and the newly formed Weird Tower Assault Team of the Bunker Security Bureau.
The quality of props is concentrated in white and blue, with white accounting for the majority.
Generally speaking, purple items are extremely rare.
Wen Xishu quickly arrived at the Logistics Department. He noticed that among the blue props in the Logistics Department, there was actually a very good prop - a tongue.
Weird tower props: eloquent speech.
This is a rather disgusting prop because it needs to be placed in the mouth. Once placed there, your eloquence will become very good, and you are likely to say something that will move the enemies in the tower.
But there is also a small chance that he will suddenly say something that will break the target's defense.
This prop is considered the best among blue props.
Once successfully placed, even those who are not good at speaking or talking can come up with some ideas.
There are also many white props that, although they have great side effects, do have their value in use.
Wen Xishu was very pleased that his presence made the exploration of the strange tower more lively.
He didn't stay in the supply area of the Weird Tower for long.
Soon Wen Xishu arrived at the supplies area of the Lu Tower, the deepest prop storage area.
The old principal Albert was already waiting for Wen Xishu in the deepest area.
Wen Xishu found that there was no one around, because this place was too deep and was considered the principal's exclusive area.
The principal undoubtedly has a lot of stuff. Even though Wen Xishu climbs the tower more frequently than the principal, the principal has been climbing the tower for decades.
Of course, unfortunately, although the principal has a lot of items, his inventory is still limited. Moreover, as Xun Hui said before, many items in the Slaughter Tower have usage level restrictions, unlike the props in the Strange Tower, which can be used right away.
Therefore, the principal's items, which have strong combat power, all have level requirements of 70 or 80, or killing quantity requirements of six digits.
In short, these are things that are difficult for ordinary people to use.
It was also the first time that Wen Xishu had seen such a scene. It was like looking at an armory. The number of weapons in this armory was greater than the equipment room he had visited with several assassins at the Investigation Bureau.
"I didn't expect you had so many props." Wen Xishu exclaimed.
Albert said:
"I can't use most of them. In fact, it's not just me who has them here, there's also Lao Jin's."
"This saber was obtained by Lao Jin from a leader-level creature that evolved into a centaur. The effect of the saber is simple and crude, with a 15% chance of causing forced stun."
"And this shield can bounce back the opponent's attack."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask:
"Can it rebound? In a conceptual sense or in a numerical sense?"
Albert laughed:
"Of course it's in terms of numbers. You can't use this thing against Sagittarius. It can't even take a punch from me."
The old principal's eyes wandered over the many props.
There are external bone arms that can imitate the body's movements and skills, daggers that can increase paralysis effects, shoes that can increase speed, and wings that can fly. There are a variety of props, all of which are powerful props that can change the direction of the battle.
But the old principal didn't like these props.
Albert's gaze finally fell on a pair of boxing gloves.
It's not even an orange prop.
It was just a pair of purple boxing gloves at level 89. Among many numerical or functional props, Albert finally chose the boxing gloves.
Wen Xishu asked, "What is it called?"
Albert said: "Unyielding Fists. A pair of gloves that can transform fighting spirit and anger into combat ability. It's not very strong, but this thing helped me escape when I was about to die."
Wen Xishu was slightly moved.
Albert did not put on his gloves, he just took them out and smiled like a child, as if he had found his teammate from many years ago.
"I gave up using it for a while because I couldn't use it. To be honest, I didn't sleep well last night because I was very concerned about the duel with Sagittarius." "Because he might have the truth about Lao Jin, and it's possible that he can really open up the way for young people to the 70th floor and beyond."
“But I’m not absolutely sure.”
"I've been wondering, what item can defeat Sagittarius?"
"I thought about it for a long time, but unfortunately, if the opponent is too strong, I found that I don't have any props to defeat him."
"But just when I thought there was nothing left, I suddenly found it again."
"Look, this is my prop."
Wen Xishu discovered that the old principal did not show him the boxing gloves, but stretched out his hands.
At first glance, those hands hardly looked like those of a human being, but more like some kind of ancient, tough weapons. They hung heavily on both sides of the body, with a calmness that had experienced countless life-and-death battles.
When you spread your palms upwards, the first thing that strikes your eye is the incredibly thick layer of calluses.
They are not evenly covered, but are concentrated below the metacarpophalangeal joints and in the middle of the phalanges, forming several uneven, dark yellow and white hard shelled areas, like a layer of rough, overgrown bark.
Wen Xishu had never seen such hands before.
But he did see a peerless weapon.
He also immediately understood what the old principal meant.
Facing a powerful enemy, all the tools he has are not as good as his own. What he needs is the belief that he can defeat the enemy, and the courage to fight to the death even if he is defeated.
So gloves are not weapons of war, hands are.
Wen Xishu felt awe for these hands.
It is hard to imagine what kind of training it takes to make the palm lines so deep and complicated.
His lifeline and wisdom line had long been blurred, as if his life trajectory had long been covered by pure "beating".
This is the limit of human beings, the limit of courage and will.
If this limit fails and is killed by the shooter...
Thinking of this, Wen Xishu could immediately understand Xun Hui and Evelyn. It's not that they don't have the courage or the awareness to give up everything.
But the principal truly represents humanity itself.
"I can't imagine your failure. That's why I bring this up precisely because I don't think you will fail," Wen Xishu said.
"Hahahahahahahahaha, well, I'll take your good words." Albert laughed.
……
……
Ever since Wen Xishu and Xun Hui climbed the tower last time, Xun Hui felt that this might really be a training mechanism.
So we started to study the feasibility of using team props to achieve old-timers to bring newcomers. This feasibility is actually very low, and it is very risky for newcomers to rashly go to the high level.
But Xun Hui still felt that this method could be used for some special geniuses, so he did not give up his research.
The first thing is to study the levels. For example, if a level 1 player is paired with a level 70 player, which level will they be matched to?
There has not been much progress in this research, but it has achieved some results.
If Xun Hui, Wen Xishu, and Albert form a team, according to the level allocation mechanism, Xun Hui calculates that they will be assigned to the 81st floor.
Yes, even though Wen Xishu's Slaughter Tower level is only 18...
A 97th-floor player like Albert can also bring it to the 81st floor.
So more people need to be arranged.
Of course, there is also a situation. Since Luta is a big world, you can actually form a team directly.
Xun Hui and Albert went directly to the relevant area on the 70th floor.
But in this case, it is very likely that they will encounter the Killing Day. The Killing Day is quite troublesome even for Albert, especially when he has to protect the two little ones.
So in the end, according to Xun Hui's calculation, two more people were arranged, two pure newcomers.
Xun Hui hoped that these two people were death row prisoners.
But Albert was different. He believed that on the 70th floor, except for Sagittarius, no monster could take his punch.
It would be better to take a gamble and bring back two good seedlings.
People like Albert could actually choose not to climb more than 90 floors and instead form a team to guide newcomers.
But Wen Xishu knew why the old principal didn't do this.
Because in the old principal's world, time is pressing. He is not even willing to waste any time. He is busy killing almost all the time, just to reach the 98th floor as soon as possible, then the 99th floor, and finally break through the th floor.
The old principal lived to be over ninety years old and went through two stages in his life.
The first stage is the sudden end of thousands of years of human civilization.
Perhaps Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing both feel that there is a lot of time left and that many problems can be solved slowly.
The bunker had just finished a great devouring, and everything was thriving...and everything seemed fine.
But Albert would not think so. Having experienced the end of the world, he always knew that the collapse of the world would only take a moment.
He always assumed that the bunker might begin to collapse at the next moment.
That's why he was so happy that he could deal with Sagittarius directly. This was more efficient than slowly investigating Xiao Jin and Lao Jin.
But this time, in order to deal with Sagittarius, Albert will return to the seventy-plus floors.
"If I lose... you two will die too. The bunker will have no future. So don't assume I lose. Why bring death row prisoners? If death row prisoners gain power, it will only cause more trouble. Bring two good seedlings. If they die, they die, but if they live, we will make progress."
What Albert said makes sense.
In fact, Wen Xishu could tell from the fact that the old principal and Xun Hui killed people that the old principal was not a "good guy" in the true sense. In this doomsday, the old principal could accept anyone's death.
Even Mr. Jin.
In a gamble with a fifty percent chance of death and a fifty percent chance of improvement, if there are ten gambles, people like the old principal will gamble ten times.
They don't care about the fate of an individual unless his talent gives him hope.
So under the arrangement of the old principal——
Nissen and Yue Yun, the two freshmen, had the opportunity to experience the 70th floor in advance.
Neeson and Yue Yun also knew that this time they could only win or lose. They were really scared.
But when I thought about Wen Xishu, Xun Hui, and the old principal who had all gone, it didn’t seem so scary anymore.
So although they were timid, they still agreed to go.
At this point, the team to deal with Sagittarius was formed.
Cheerleading team——Xun Hui, Wen Xishu, Nissen, Yue Yun.
Albert Napolitano.
Wen Xishu didn’t think there was anything shameful about it. After all... in a battle of this level, Xun Hui could only be a background figure.
Evelin and Wenren Jing both knew they couldn't persuade her, so they could only accept it. They chose to keep it a secret for the next week.
If Xun Hui's name was no longer on the ladder leaderboard a week later... Wenren Jing couldn't imagine what a mess the bunker would be in.
……
……
After the team was assembled, they quickly started to form a team, started the login device, and entered the rest area of the Slaughter Tower.
Regular visitors to the Tianyuan location of the Lu Tower soon appeared there.
Xun Hui, Albert.
But Wen Xishu's consciousness was transferred to the rest area a little later because he had one more step than the others.
Wen Xishu's only chance to influence the outcome of the battle is probably the Crazy Dice and the Scorpio Knife.
When I started the login program and heard the words "Welcome to the Three Towers Game"...
For the first time, he began to pray that this time the Crazy Dice and the Scorpio Knife could give the best assist.
