Three Towers Game

Chapter 340 The Zodiac Signs' Inner Questions

This was a moment Wenxi Tree had never experienced before.

He could be incredibly eloquent and ruthless in front of just one zodiac sign. But now, he can talk about almost every zodiac sign.

This gave Wen Xishu the feeling of facing a battlefield.

Constellation Meeting.

Did you know that the twelve zodiac signs would have such a meeting?
Wen Xishu restrained himself and deliberately avoided looking at Gemini.

Instead, their first glance fell on Leo.

He knew very well that, as a tower climber, he was bound to be a very special existence to the constellations.

These zodiac signs, perhaps not just Scorpios, but others, have long had their eyes on them.

Perhaps they even had some guesses.

Regardless of what Gemini and Wen Chaohua have been through, their plans should not be exposed to her.

This moment is a good opportunity for us to observe the constellations, but it is also a good opportunity for the constellations to observe us.

He couldn't let the Wen family's plan, which had come at a huge cost, be exposed at this moment.

Therefore, Wen Xishu deliberately avoided looking at the twins.

Wen Xishu noticed that, apart from his own seat, there were a total of sixteen seats.

"Sixteen constellations... It seems Sirius is still alive. Scorpio didn't kill him. That's not surprising; I already know the answer from Sagittarius."

"Two zodiac signs didn't come: Cancer and Capricorn..."

"In other words, Charlie isn't attractive to Cancerians and Capricorns. But the remaining ten of the twelve zodiac signs are all interested in Charlie."

"I thought this was just an ordinary journey through the haunted tower, but I never expected it to turn out like this."

Wen Xishu remembered that the quest prompt he received before climbing the tower did indeed include this sentence:

This area is followed by multiple zodiac signs; please make a choice that aligns with your inner feelings.

I never expected that sentence to mean this.

Wen Xishu's train of thought was quickly interrupted.

"Oh, so this meeting wasn't convened by Taurus, but by the Three Towers," came the voice of Aries.

All the constellations were indistinct, very blurry, like a shadow.

Taurus said:
"It must be that kid named Charlie. I didn't expect that someone had already explored the Tower of Ghosts and might even have achieved a perfect ending."

"Welcome, stranger," Virgo said.

Pisces seemed to know this was going to happen:
“He’s not a stranger; he’ll be showing up often in the future.”

Wen Xishu looked at Pisces, but unfortunately, he couldn't tell whether Pisces was wearing black and white stockings, or whether there were two fish swimming in a certain direction.

Wen Xishu noticed that the words Scorpio initially said to him seemed to be known only to him and Scorpio.

I don't know about the other zodiac signs.

Leo said:
“He’s definitely not a stranger. This kid has my mark on him; he’s one of my men.”

These words made Scorpio tilt his head slightly.

Aquarius let out a cold snort. Libra also narrowed his eyes, his gaze not friendly.

Wen Xishu did not want to be tortured:
"Everyone... I have helped some of you, and of course, I have also received help from you."

"As the saying goes, if there's a give and take, then we're friends. Let's get straight to the point."

Wen Xishu knew that the opportunity to interact with all the constellations was rare. But he soon realized that he couldn't actually see the details of these people.

Staying here might not be a good thing.

Aries said:

"Then let each of you explain in your own way what Charlie's role is in our lives and what Charlie's future holds."

"It starts with me."

All other zodiac signs raised their hands in agreement.

Wen Xishu had no idea what was going to happen, so he just waited silently.

But soon, the rest of the people seemed to have disappeared.

In this chaotic meeting room, it seemed that only Aries and Wen Xishu existed.

"Hello. I'm an Aries. Are you satisfied with the gift I left for you?" Aries is indeed a woman full of intellect and a strong, mature aura.

Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, Wen Xishu was certain that this was someone he would feel comfortable talking to.

Wen Xishu said:
"Three-Tower Sequence, Tower Force Absorption?"

Aries nodded.

Wen Xishu said, "I don't think it's some kind of gift, because I earned it with my own life."

When dealing with the shoe woman, Wen Xishu reacted wildly and let out a crazy smile when he finally found a way to break the deadlock.

That was the first time he had taken the lives of over a hundred people, so he was overjoyed when he won.

He didn't feel like he was being given a gift, but rather that he truly earned it through his own abilities.

The so-called gift should be like the Dice of Madness, something you have from the start.

Aries didn't argue:
"Actually, I should thank you. With the help of the Tower's power absorption, you can absorb many ancient legends that have been materialized by the Tower's power, and these ancient legends will no longer be a threat."

"I can also narrow down the scope of 'God'."

“We don’t have much time. I’ll tell you something: Charlie created the Dust Land before the end of the world.”

"Therefore, Charlie became the biggest legend in that country, and it even had the potential to become a god."

"People's descriptions of Charlie, their stereotypes of Charlie, will deepen Charlie's distortion and amplify its power."

"Therefore, people will understand more clearly that they should care for those around them, rather than just giving them material things."

"I hope that in the end you will choose to cooperate with me. After entering the Tower of Desire, your task is to work with me to spread Charlie's influence and make Charlie a unique figure in all the 'ghost stories' and 'legends'."

Are Aries fond of creating gods?

She wants Charlie to become a god? Does she have a way to control Charlie?
Wen Xishu couldn't think for long. Because time was running out. Aries said:
"I regret that time is too tight and I can't tell you much. But I hope you can put aside Charlie's personal values ​​and think about the value of human civilization as a whole."

"The end times need to be ended by God. If you agree, you will receive further gifts from me."

Wen Xishu did not respond.

As Aries begins to disappear, Taurus will appear next.

Taurus said:
"So it was you who destroyed the Strange Tournament. But don't worry, I won't hold it against you. The Dust Land is a much more valuable arena."

"In the apocalypse, people are destined to die. Countless monsters yearn to become gods, so let them fight and die constantly in struggle and competition. Isn't that a good thing for humanity?"

“Charlie’s Dustlands is perfect for developing new arenas. Dustlands itself will devour those people.”

"If you are willing to help me, after entering the Tower of Desire, you will work with me to transform and spread the Dust Land."

“I believe this place has enormous potential. I can also grant you more power. In fact, a portion of all the sacrifices made in the arena will be converted into your power.”

"This is a huge gift for you; you will soon become the number one person in the bunker."

Unlike Aries, Taurus did not tell Wen Xishu his method to end the apocalypse.

Of course, sending countless monsters to their deaths in the Dust Lands... does seem to be helping humanity in a way.

But what Taurus can gain from this is the most important thing. Moreover, Wen Xishu believes Taurus lied.

He didn't believe he could easily surpass the old principal, nor did he believe that Taurus or other zodiac signs could easily elevate a bunker man.

Situations where the twelve zodiac signs need to rely on a bunker dweller to change the situation are something the twelve zodiac signs should try their best to avoid.

Wen Xishu said:
"Sorry, I need to think about it."

Taurus said:
"Don't trust Aries. Aries... are obsessed with creating external gods, but only when we become gods ourselves can we truly control the situation."

The figure of Taurus has disappeared.

Next up is Gemini.

When the twins appeared in front of Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu could not determine who they were based solely on the illusory figure.

He can't do it, and neither can the idiot inside him.

Geminis are far fewer than the previous two:
“I believe that if you hadn’t been looking for redemption… you wouldn’t have gotten this far. That’s the most important thing, so just follow your heart.”

"Whether following your heart will benefit me or harm others is not important, is it?"

"The Three Towers game is your game." "Good luck."

Wen Xishu wanted to ask something, but the twins suddenly raised their fingers, made a shushing gesture, and then pointed at Wen Xishu.

“Bunker Man, you should spend more time thinking and exploring in the bunker, instead of speaking loudly in the three towers and disturbing the people in the sky.”

Wen Xishu stopped asking questions.

He understood.

He possesses many items bestowed upon him by other constellations: the chaotic scales, the competitive bull horns, the Scorpio dagger, and the Leo heart mark.

These things are safe in the bunker, but perhaps not so safe in the three towers. But at least for now, the twelve constellations will probably try to listen to something.

"Okay, and best of luck to you too."

The meeting with Gemini has ended.

Next up should have been Cancer, but since Cancer hadn't participated and wasn't interested in Charlie, Leo came instead.

Leo said:
"The meeting initiated by the Three Towers is based on your timeline, so don't try to fool me. We've met once before."

"The Lionheart brand on you also awaits your decision to make the right choice."

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Lord Leon, could it be that following your methods and submitting to you is the right choice?"

Leon narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wen Xishu could sense that Leos did indeed have a different kind of oppressive aura compared to other zodiac signs.

Leon said:

“People like Charlie, after experiencing loss and destruction, may become invincible once they rebuild.”

“If you’re with me, you’ll help me defeat him, and I’ll take him on as my underling.”

"Instead of getting caught up in romance and having expectations of someone, wouldn't it be better to stop expecting anything from anyone and instead focus on becoming stronger?"

“I believe Lionheart will recognize this as the right choice.”

"Give me an answer. I don't like waiting."

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"I'm sorry... I don't like this."

Leon asked:

"why?"

Wen Xishu said:
"I can't rely on anyone, so I have to become strong myself, which is indeed true, but... please allow me to do something easy this time."

Wen Xishu can understand people like Leos.

All his brothers and sisters longed to kill him, feared him, and were afraid that he would become the strongest.

While zodiac signs may engage in scheming and rivalry, they also secretly cooperate. However, Leo is almost universally considered the one that should be prioritized for elimination.

Even Sagittarius, who doesn't associate with other zodiac signs, longs to kill Leo.

In such an environment, Leos can only become strong, independent of everyone, and distrustful of all emotions.

Charlie might have a similar mindset in Leon's eyes.

But they are actually completely different.

Because neither Spark nor Anya ever gave up on Charlie.

If possible, Wen Xishu hopes that Anya, Spark, and Charlie can live happily together.

If Charlie must gain some kind of power... then he hopes that the source of Charlie's power will not come from loneliness, but from a desire to protect.

Leo waved his hand:
"Fine, at least you have some guts."

Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"It's either that you're magnanimous, or that you don't care."

That's true. Although Leo was interested in Charlie, it was just that. He would be happy if he got him, but he wouldn't care too much if he didn't.

Anyway, there are still many places in this world that can be conquered.

"Looking forward to seeing you again next time."

Wen Xishu secretly broke out in a cold sweat. He knew he would have a showdown with Leo, but he hoped that showdown would be as far off as possible.

……

……

After Leo comes Virgo.

Virgos and Geminis are very similar; she said something similar:
“If you hadn’t been driven by a desire for redemption, you wouldn’t have made it this far. I just hope you follow your heart. I don’t have much more to say.”

"There are still many pure people in this world who shouldn't have ended up like that, but unfortunately, I'm relatively weak in the zodiac. If possible, I hope you can give them a good ending for me."

Wen Xishu was slightly surprised. According to the descriptions of the zodiac signs in his previous life, Virgos were serious, perfectionists, self-disciplined, and a little too concerned about details.

But this Virgo seems to be different.

"As for the power struggles and calculations of interests between the constellations, I think you should just follow your heart and not worry too much about it."

His remarks were almost identical to those of Gemini.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"I know."

The virgin said:

"I feel like I've known you for a long time."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"But this is indeed our first time meeting."

Virgo smiled too:
"Maybe not, but it doesn't matter. Good luck to you. And good luck to those two kids too."

……

……

According to the order, the next person to talk to Wen Xishu should be Libra, but the one who appears in front of Wen Xishu is Scorpio.

Scorpio tilts his head:

“Brother, Dust Lands is perfect for a gamification. I think it would be a deeply moving horror game, and even the metaphors of the various monsters would be extremely well done.”

"Don't you think it would be great to work with me on developing a game?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Why is it you? Shouldn't there be a Libra ahead of you?"

Scorpio laughed:

"Well, when you were talking to the others, I gave Libra a hint, and he knows now what you did in the Tower of Ghosts."

"And I convinced him that you and I are on the same team."

"This deepened his hatred for you. So he abstained."

Wen Xishu was stunned.

Can you do this?

Scorpio laughed:

"Isn't that great, brother? If you're with me, in the Tower of Desire, you'll build the game world with me."

"I can give Charlie a perfect ending."

“I can create an ending where he lives with Spark and Anya.”

Wen Xishu said:
"But that's not true."

Scorpio laughed nonchalantly:

"But the feeling is the same, so what does it matter?"

Wen Xishu said frankly:
"Would you also create an ending where all your siblings and other zodiac signs love you? Do you think... that would bring you satisfaction?"

Wen Xishu's words were not meant to be offensive; they were simply born of curiosity.

But Scorpio's smile froze.

For the first time, Wen Xishu saw a look of resentment in this child.

After a long while, Scorpio finally smiled again:
"That's not bad, is it? Games... aren't they meant to be escapes from reality?"
