Three Towers Game

Chapter 349 I'll Become the Great Demon King

At the peak of madness, Wen Xishu needs to choose whether to switch identities or attributes with the tower guardian.

But this option hasn't appeared yet. What Wen Xishu didn't expect was that the Peak of Madness was actually quite conscientious...

They're so conscientious that they can even filter bosses.

He suddenly thought of something.

Save Evelyn.

If you were to choose the progenitor of the Honkai who could control time by asking questions...

Will this resolve Evelyn's crisis?

Even though Evelyn has been in the Tower of Desire for six days, there is still a possibility that Evelyn may have died in the preceding days...

But as long as he didn't get a definite result, Wen Xishu longed to try again.

"Who among you possesses the power of time? If so, step forward; if not, step back."

He didn't know how many questions he could ask. He could only ask one at a time, filtering them step by step.

Many monsters retreated. Only a handful, less than five in number, took a step forward.

One of them, dressed in flowing robes, though only his outline could be seen, seemed like a swordsman wielding a sword.

Ancient people? From the ancient timeline... Could it be related to Aries? A contributor of Tali value!
This ancient swordsman is not in the style of a Japanese samurai, but rather in the style of Ryusha.

Wen Xishu suddenly became interested, after all... the existence of the ancients was very likely related to the Tower Force value.

An ancient swordsman who wields the power of time...? He looks like he has a story to tell.

Exchanging attributes or identities with the other party is something worth trying.

Wen Xishu didn't notice the swordsman at first because there were just too many strange bosses in front of him.

Time-related abilities are indeed rare.

No wonder, it's always been hard to raise my favorability with the girl in black and white stockings.

Wen Xishu roughly calculated that the percentage was less than one percent.

Wen Xishu frowned, not because the percentage was too low, but because he had discovered something.

Those people in the distance neither retreated nor stepped forward.

They did not receive their own instructions and remained standing still.

He considered a possibility.

"Levels..."

"Could it be that the monsters in the distance represent higher-level beings, and my voice was too soft for them to hear me?"

"Or perhaps, those are low-level monsters in the distance? At a level I can no longer experience?"

This inner confusion was surprisingly resolved very quickly.

[If you need the Inquisitor's questions to spread further, please increase your magic resistance.]

This prompt came at just the right time.

"I see. The Dice of Madness is a divine artifact, but to use a divine artifact, one must possess certain basic attributes, and magic resistance is one of those attributes."

Wen Xishu's magic resistance value was below standard... well, not exactly below standard, his voice actually carried quite far.

However, it still cannot transmit to the farthest places.

This made Wen Xishu somewhat sad.

"Judging from the distance, those are indeed high-level monsters. This level should be around the ninetyth level..."

"Without the three highs, I really wouldn't be able to get to a place like this. But this time, the Dice of Madness seems to have been rolled without any dice being rolled. The Peak of Madness is a special opening."

If you can't get to the 90th floor, it's impossible to save Evelyn.

In fact, even if you go to the 90th floor, the probability of encountering Evelyn is very low.

Wen Xishu sighed softly:

"All we can do is pray that she's safe..."

He began to think about the next question.

"Which of you, if you die, can provide me with Tower Power?"

"Those who stepped back earlier can also answer this question."

Soon, several more monsters stepped forward.

Clearly, there aren't many monsters with Tower Power, but the swordsman is definitely among them.

Wen Xishu began to ponder a question.

"Do I want power, or authority?"

Switching identities is actually a swap of power...

He had to consider a possibility: in the world of obsession created by the other party, was the rule stronger, or was individual power stronger?

For example, Charlie is a typical tower defender who adheres strictly to the rules.

Charlie himself is weak, but full of mystery...

While exploring Charlie's obsessive world, you'll encounter opportunities to become stronger and solve mysteries...

Gradually, through various props and clues, the complete storyline is uncovered, and Charlie is redeemed.

If Wen Xishu and Charlie were to exchange strength, unless it were "Lu Charlie", it might actually be a weakening for Wen Xishu.

Although Charlie is the master of the Dust Land, the elusive Charlie is actually in a state of confusion.

It is a state of failing to develop one's own strength and simply allowing negative emotions to arbitrarily build up a dusty landscape.

This is suitable for exchanging authority rather than attributes.

After all, not everyone has Wen Xishu's decryption abilities. These monsters are often mentally unstable and might just be killed by the rules themselves.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought of a new way to ask the question.

This was the second-to-last question he could ask.

"Among you, who is trapped in a great sense of confusion and distress, and has an extremely negative view of the world?"

Several monsters remained motionless, including a pair that appeared to be twins.

They looked at each other, and one even took a step back.

This shows that their view of the world is positive.

This surprised Wen Xishu.

He even felt that... the silhouettes of the twins looked very familiar.

Such beings are truly rare, perhaps like Hitomi and Sachi, who, even in the dirtiest environment, still yearn for a better world.

At the same time, Wen Xishu also noticed... that swordsman had also moved.

The swordsman took a step forward.

This means that the swordsman, dressed like an ancient martial arts master, has a pessimistic view of the world.

You have one last question left.

We need to get to the point.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Xishu slowly said:
"If you go to your own world of obsession, is that world enough to kill you?"

Interestingly, the twins and the swordsman took a step forward, and it was these two groups again that caught Wen Xishu's attention.

The fact that the other monsters did not advance suggests that these monsters possess powerful attributes and are the ultimate bosses of the world of obsession.

The levels built around them are insufficient to kill them.

[You've finished asking your questions. Please make your choice, select your opponent, and decide whether to exchange attributes or identities with them.]

The sound of the evening tree could also be directed towards the distant, high-level monsters.

But that would be too risky.

The prerequisite for saving Evelyn is to avoid putting yourself in danger.

His gaze fell on the twins. They appeared to be two young people.

"Without a doubt, the twins' favorite...and these two have a positive perception of the world. Moreover, the rules of their obsessive world are enough to kill them."

"It really appeals to me."

Even so, Wen Xishu still looked at the swordsman in the end.

He felt this would be an interesting trip.

Wen Xishu was inclined to exchange power with the other party, that is, to participate in the game as a tower guardian. He longed to empathize with these people who were waiting to be saved.

He really wanted to see the Three Towers from their perspective.

So all of his questions were actually designed to ensure that he would be in a favorable position after the exchange of power.

Those monsters who can single-handedly slay through the world of obsessions—Wen Xishu only needs to exchange attributes with them to ensure a smooth journey.

But he felt that was meaningless. It was the same experience as going to lower-level tiers to bully newbies.

He had had that kind of experience before.

He wanted to learn more about the Three Towers, the boss inside the Ghost Tower, and do the right thing.

Please make a choice.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment:

“I choose him. I want to switch places with him.”

This time, Wen Xishu gave up on twins and Gemini.

On the one hand, he has already received invitations from Gemini and Virgo, so there is no need to rush.

On the other hand, the swordsman has an additional advantage – tower strength.

Furthermore, swordsmen possess time-related attributes.

He always felt that he could obtain some valuable intelligence.

Regarding the origin of the apocalypse.

After making his choice, Wen Xishu's consciousness began to shake violently.

Current level: 71.

The message flashed by.

Clearly, although that swordsman was not at the 90th level and thus not someone who could be questioned, he was indeed a very high-level expert.

This was a good deal.

This way, their progress on the leaderboard will increase significantly.

Wen Xishu felt a little excited after thinking about it.

The Pinnacle of Madness is truly a wonderful thing.

However, it is indeed difficult to trigger. You have to throw 414, choose the "Dare to Try Four" option, and complete the challenge before you can trigger it in the next round.

Closer to home.

When Wen Xishu's consciousness stopped swaying, he found himself still in the "rest area".

However, the monsters were nowhere to be seen in the rest area.

The rest area of ​​the Ghost Tower became lively again, lively because of the people.

"Looking to buy details of a Miyazaki Hideaki childhood print!"

"How do you get through the Seventh Apartment? I heard you have to eat vomit inside?"

"How do I even complete this 'seventh day after death' mission? I heard from the Ghost Tower Academy that you have to sleep with ghosts for seven days? I only have seven days in total, and I'm supposed to spend all of that sleeping with ghosts?"

We're back, the familiar rest area is back.

Wen Xishu also saw the mission description.

The obsessions in people's hearts have created the twisted creatures and bizarre existences on the Three Towers battlefield, including humans, ghosts, and gods. But in Longxia, there is another place where another kind of existence is hidden... Jianghu (the martial arts world).

Is he the greatest of heroes, serving his country and its people? Or is he one who lives amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, indulging in swift retribution, reigning supreme over all under heaven?
Or perhaps the martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

You need to make a choice between chivalry and survival.

The choice is yours. Survive in this world of martial arts. Or perhaps, after fulfilling the basic requirements for survival, you might discover secrets beyond the martial arts world, finding hidden Easter eggs lurking in the shadows?

This is the challenger's mission description. Wen Xishu himself is a challenger, a tower climber, so he can see this description.

However, Wen Xishu also saw another version of the introduction.

【The Tower of Madness: As the builder of this martial arts world, you must be careful not to let those who climb the tower find you through the treacherous world. You loathe this world, you know the dangers of the martial arts world, and you have long since lost all fairytale fantasies about it.】

Please transform into the most despicable game designer and make your martial arts world even more treacherous, so that all the chivalrous heroes who think they can uphold justice... will die!
You can directly assign a demonic elder to the starting village, or you can assign an invincible sissy to the challenger's inevitable path.

You can also have the challenger make a life-or-death pact with the successor of the Dragon Subduing Palm right from the start.

You can also tamper with the contents of the martial arts manual he finally obtained, making him half-mad...

Of course, the prerequisite for arranging all of this is that you need to know "intelligence".

You will complete the level and unlock the seventh completion reward if the challenger dies.

What was that saying again...?

Those who practice the righteous path often need to undergo trials and tribulations, racking their brains and remaining steadfast in their beliefs while suffering numerous wounds.

Being a heretical cultivator is great; you can reach the highest hall simply by killing someone.

The two missions, for a normal bunker player, involve navigating a treacherous world, navigating countless battles and solving puzzles, and ultimately climbing to the pinnacle of the martial arts world...

But for evil cultivators like Wen Xishu, it's different. From the very beginning, he's the ultimate architect of the martial arts world, setting all sorts of treacherous rules. Killing a challenger directly grants him level seven completion.

“Cultivating evil is really fun.”

Clearly, this time the right thing and the easy thing overlapped.

However, we'll have to enter the game to find out the specifics.

"Martial arts, huh... that's true, how could I have forgotten about that?"

In this apocalyptic era where the constellations await godhood, or the gods await resurrection...

In fact, people's obsessions are not limited to myths and legends, nor are they limited to strange and evil spirits.

In Longxia, there is another important element that can rival gods, demons, and ghosts.

martial arts.

Everyone has fantasized about roaming the world with a sword and killing someone every ten steps.

This time, however, Wen Xishu is not someone who roams the martial arts world; he is the designer of this martial arts world.

He was already looking forward to it.

This kind of start was unprecedented. After understanding the mission, Wen Xishu no longer hesitated and directly launched the login device, entering this new challenge.

……

……

The Mysterious Tower, seventy-one stories high.

When the scene stopped changing, Wen Xishu opened her eyes and found herself in a magnificent pavilion.

The pavilion has three stories, and many martial arts masters guard the second floor.

The third floor features Wen Xishu and a beautiful young woman.

"Leader, have some grapes~"

The woman's clothes were made of silk, as thin as gauze, and looked somewhat transparent.

She was dressed in white, her hairpins removed, and her hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her face had a look reminiscent of a woman from the Western Regions.

With slender, jade-like fingers, she held a crystal-clear grape and fed it to Wen Xishu's lips.

Wen Xishu didn't refuse and ate it directly.

Wonderful.

The flavor, the atmosphere, the resources at the start...

So this is what a villain is.

In a martial arts game, Wen Xishu starts as the leader of the martial arts alliance.

The most beautiful woman in the martial arts world is flaunting her sex appeal here, wearing clothes that even the most daring live streamers wouldn't dare to wear.

Downstairs from him were top-tier martial arts masters.

What left-handed swordsman, what Little Zhang's Flying Dagger, what Heavenly Sword, what Invincible in All Directions...

Wen Xishu couldn't imagine how he was going to lose this round.
Of course, even so, he still needed to figure out what the game mechanics of this Obsession World were.

as well as……

What kind of story is being told this time? Who is the person yearning for redemption?
