Three Towers Game

Chapter 361 The Masters on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking Are Fully Enhanced

bunker.

People are always happy to come to the huge stone monument and see the changes in the bunker's ladder rankings.

The twin stars of the Luta Desire Tower are currently Xun Hui and Wenren Jing.

Both of them were around the 75th floor.

They initially thought the top player on the Tower of Ghosts leaderboard was still some distance away, but then Wen Xishu's various outrageous actions...

The top players on the Three Towers ladder are almost all at the same level.

The current rankings for the Tower of Horrors are as follows.

Almost all of the top 100 people were above the tenth floor.

Most people, nearly tens of thousands, linger below the tenth floor.

Sixty-sixth place, Jin Shan, thirteenth floor. Little Jin's speed is still very fast.

12th place, Jiang Xue, 17th floor. She is a ruthless and taciturn girl in the Ghost Tower Academy.

Fifth place: Yin Ze, 22nd floor. He's a teacher at the Ghost Tower Academy, and his tower-climbing frequency even surpasses Wen Xishu's. He started from a low point, but progressed very quickly.

Third place, Zheng Zai, 28th floor.

Zheng has been working hard to climb the tower recently. After achieving a good ending with A-Miao, he climbed the tower again and finally reached the 28th floor.

Second place: Xu Manjin, 37th floor.

Xu Manjin was also the number one player in the Ghost Tower for many years, before Wen Xishu and before the Heavenly Ladder Ranking was even opened.

He climbs the Tower of Horrors at a very slow pace; he's the kind of person who only climbs it once he's rested enough, enjoyed himself enough, and felt that the bunker was no longer interesting or exciting enough.

It took Xu Manjin six years to climb the tower to the twentieth floor.

In the past, there were no more than 10,000 people who climbed the Tower of Ghosts. There was no leaderboard, and no one knew who Xu Manjin was.

After all, for a long time, the Tower of Ghosts was the choice of madmen, death row inmates, and the helpless and desperate people at the bottom of society.

Xu Manjin only came into the public eye after the Heavenly Ladder Ranking appeared.

Due to the extremely high mortality rate of the Ghost Tower, people like Xu Manjin are very rare.

Back then, the third-place player was only on the tenth floor or so, but Xu Manjin was already on the twentieth floor or so.

It can be said that the emergence of the ladder rankings has given Xu Manjin a lot of extra resources.

After the rise of the Xishu Cult, Xu Manjin became an honorary elder of the Xishu Cult.

After the tower climbing reform, Xu Manjin became a VIP guest of William Hawkner.

After the bunker was reorganized, Xu Manjin became an advisor to the Bunker Security Bureau's Ghost Tower branch.

Before the Heavenly Ladder Ranking existed, all of Xu Manjin's resources were earned through his own life.

After the Heavenly Ladder Ranking was introduced, Xu Manjin's net worth skyrocketed. Not only did he no longer have to worry about food and clothing, but his social class also underwent a significant leap.

However, he consistently declined the teaching invitation from the Tower of Ghosts Academy.

"Compared to Dean Wen, I'm fine as his student. You want me to teach his students? I'm not worthy."

"I've climbed the Tower of Ghosts for many years, but I can't compare to what he accomplished in a month."

This is the truth.

In the Tower of Ghosts rankings, people are paying more attention to Wen Xishu.

After all, that's the first place that's locked in.

Xu Manjin knew that this massive influx of traffic came from Dean Wen. His own abilities were truly mediocre.

At the pace of those who come after him, he will soon be surpassed.

But strangely enough, after all this time, he's still in second place.

Even with a freak like Yoon Taek-jung around, it still seems there's some distance between him and Yoon Taek-jung.

This distance is the distance of talent.

Xu Manjin felt he could speed things up a bit. So he increased his maximum level by a few more stages.

Although he is far from being as good as Wen Xishu, he always seems to be several levels higher than the third place.

He was actually a master at climbing the tower, but he climbed at a slow pace simply because he also loved life in the bunker.

Xu Manjin's greatest strength is his ability to think things through.

He seems to have an innate ability to see through people.

It seems like this ability is perfect for climbing the Tower of Desire, but it's actually quite important in the Tower of Ghosts as well.

Most of the challenges Xu Manjin encountered were related to the interplay of human nature.

For example—a few people sitting together playing a game theory-style intellectual game.

His slow and deliberate style always made his opponents anxious, but he himself defeated them with great ease.

The people in the bunker had even done mathematical deductions and created a talent coefficient for climbing the Ghost Tower.

The coefficient of Wenxi Tree is seven.

Yin Ze, who came in second, had a coefficient of 1.6.

Most people only have a fraction of a percent.

Many people believe that Xu Manjin will be caught up by Zheng Zai when he reaches the 35th floor...

As a result, Xu Manjin, on a whim, decided to go and hang out in the Tower of Ghosts, and thus overturned this mathematical deduction once again.

His coefficient can sometimes reach as high as four points.

At this point, the people from the bunker security bureau realized that Xu Manjin might be a genius at climbing towers, but he didn't have the same crazy pace as Dean Wen.

They began to encourage Xu Manjin, believing that Xu Manjin could replicate Dean Wen's methods.

Xu Manjin simply smiled and said:

"Some people, once they start going fast, will only go faster. But some people, they can only go fast by slowing down."

"Dean Wen and I are not the same style, nor are we on the same level."

"Comparing me to him is like comparing a firefly to the sun. Oh, have you ever seen a firefly? Those things only grow in the Three Pagodas."

"Dean Wen's speed is beyond your imagination. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's only twenty-odd levels ahead of me now; perhaps... in a few days, he'll be thirty or even forty levels ahead. Your coefficients can't accurately calculate true geniuses."

"Also, don't rush me, and don't create any idols for me. My tower-climbing frequency this year is already a bit dangerous."

"Let me just quietly watch that magnificent figure from behind."

This is Xu Manjin, a second-place finisher who doesn't compete for second place, a second-place finisher who, though slow, is impossible to surpass.

His predictions were also correct.

Today, Wenxi Tree's hierarchy has undergone another major change.

Seventy-one.

When the leaderboard changed that day, the entire bunker erupted in gasps of surprise.

The news spread quickly.

This is undoubtedly extremely important news, because the progress of the three towers—the Tower of Devouring, the Tower of Slaughter, and the Tower of Desire—has caught up.

Everyone is already on the seventy-something floor.

Looking at the leaderboard, Xu Manjin sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"That's true genius."

He sincerely admired Dean Wen and actually longed to communicate with him.

But he was slow-paced; he knew that there was no need to rush these things.

When the time is right, fate will naturally bring them together.

It's also clear that bunker sentiment will rise again in the next few days.

After all, last time, the bunker received a gift from the entire population, enabling the opening of the bizarre dual-voice system.

This time... we didn't receive a notification from the entire faction. Could it be that the Dean obtained some kind of sequence? Or... a facility?
Xu Manjin suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, and he immediately headed to the second level of the bunker.

……

……

Wen Xishu's style is to place all kinds of high-level facilities on the second level of the bunker, giving priority to ordinary people and those at the bottom of society to experience them.

When Xu Manjin arrived at the second floor.

Signs reading "Full of Visitors" and "No Entry" have appeared at Wanjian Mountain Villa.

Many people were disappointed. How could it be full? They had heard that the number of swords available at Wanjian Manor was limited, and once they were sold out, there would be a waiting period.

Some people emerged from Wanjian Manor, carrying precious swords, which drew envious glances from onlookers.

Without a doubt, those who climb the Tower of Slaughter, with such a divine weapon, will naturally be able to reach even higher levels.

Even when climbing the Tower of Horrors, having such a divine weapon would make one feel safer.

Everyone was eager to go in and experience it, thinking that this sword looked extraordinary, and that they would do anything to get one, even if it meant selling their possessions.

Yes, the functions of Wanjian Manor have been deciphered by those who have left the manor one after another.

As everyone knows, Master Wen has built a super facility, a facility that can mass-produce high-level items.

This made those who couldn't get in even more anxious. Xu Manjin, however, wasn't worried at all. He was simply admiring Dean Wen, wondering how he had managed it.
How come it always brings this kind of surprise?

Xu Manjin stood outside, admiring the Wanjian Manor with a peaceful smile.

The grand manor's style is completely out of place with the rest of the bunker.

The steps and pavilions all seem to be products of ancient times. Even the two sword-wielding boys outside the manor gate are dressed in sword robes and have their hair in topknots.

Xu Manjin was curious about this trip, but after thinking about it, he realized there were many other things worth enjoying, so he turned around and left.

But just then, a boy called out to Xu Manjin.

"Sir, you seem to have a connection with the villa. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Xu Manjin was somewhat taken aback:
"I?"

Countless people in the crowd cast envious glances. Almost no one recognized Xu Manjin, because he was the runner-up.

"Yes, please follow me." The boy had already begun to lead the way.

These children, in theory, are just some kind of NPCs; they are merely products of the manor.

But seeing that it looked exactly like a real person, Xu Manjin was deeply impressed, never expecting that high-level facilities could be this advanced.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow; he was neither impatient because he couldn't enter the villa, nor overly excited because he did.

With a faint sense of joy, I looked around at the scenery and finally entered the sword-forging hall.

This is a place only a select few who can acquire high-quality swords are qualified to enter.

Ordinary people simply browse in the Sword Exhibition Hall.

In the sword-making hall, there are several famous figures from the bunker.

Xu Manjin was slightly surprised when he saw these people, but he quickly smiled and said:

"So, fate brought us together today."

He is in no hurry for anything, doesn't compete for anything, and believes in letting things take their course.

And today, that destiny has brought us together.

Albert, Xun Hui, Wenren Jing, Wen Xishu, Zheng Zai.

They are choosing their swords.

The boy walked up to Wenxi Tree and said:
"Master, the person has been brought here."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Go back."

The boy respectfully withdrew.

“Mr. Xu, there are many swords here. When you walk to the sword that suits you, the sword will respond to you.”

The speaker was Wen Xishu.

Xu Manjin nodded:

"You know me?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Second place? Of course I need to know. I've just been curious why you haven't come to find me."

"I only recently learned about your style. You're very interesting, just like Lao Zheng. You're a very interesting person."

When faced with praise, Xu Manjin also has a slow, overly calm demeanor.

"I never expected to be so lucky today."

"Luck always favors those who can seize opportunities," Wen Xishu said.

The master of Wanjian Manor was Wen Xishu.

Upon returning to the bunker, Wen Xishu immediately went to the second floor.

There was no other reason than that he wanted to enter the manor more than anyone else to choose a weapon.

He had Yuanling contact several people to go in together.

Soon, Albert Xun Hui and the others arrived at this super facility, Wanjian Manor.

Xun Hui's sword was a heavy sword named Zhen'e. It was very heavy.

The design is somewhat exaggerated, resembling a giant sword in the style of a web game.

But he particularly likes the basic attribute that this sword currently offers: Berserk.

Simply put, the stronger the fighting spirit, the faster the attack speed. This is very suitable for Xun Hui.

The sword's quality is blue. But it may grow to purple in the future.

Zheng Zai's sword is called the Taotie Sword. The blade has many nicks and marks, making it look strange and somewhat broken.

The blue quality item has the attribute "Blood Drain," meaning it will absorb the opponent's health upon hitting them.

Wenren Jing's sword is covered with white feathers, and when he swings it, many feathers appear, carrying a strange fragrance.

His sword was actually of purple quality, with the initial attribute "Dreamlike," which had the effect of diverting people's attention to the feathers as they fluttered around.

Wen Xishu said:
"Mr. Xu, why don't you pick one too?"

Xu Manjin's usual unhurried approach:
"I want to know, what is the principal's sword?"

Albert's signature laugh rang out:
"Hahahaha... I don't need a sword, but this old man who forges swords says that a sword doesn't have to be a sword. He told me to wait a while."

“He needs to forge a unique sword to match mine, but this process is also a challenge for him.”

Xu Manjin was full of admiration.

He could guess what would happen.

The swordsmith is probably second only to the manor lord, making him the second-in-command of Wanjian Manor.

He is also someone who can manufacture high-quality weapons.

But when the swordsmith saw the old principal's hands, he realized that even with the super-level seven facilities, Wanjian Manor had no sword worthy of the old man.

After a long silence, the swordsmith decided to challenge his limits and forge a sword that was "not a sword" for the old principal.

Xu Manjin sighed deeply, then looked at Wen Xishu:
"And you, Dean Wen?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Unfortunately, I receive a sword regularly, but I don't use it. To me, these swords are just a kind of consumable."

Not long ago, Wen Xishu had already forged a purple-quality sword.

Gained six points of Tower Force.

His current strength value has reached 31.

The swordsmith told Wen Xishu that the manor lord's next sword should be completed within two weeks, with an estimated quality of: 74% chance of purple, 23% chance of gold, 2.9% chance of orange, and 0.1% chance of red.

Wen Xishu was very satisfied; this was his own Tali value production base.

It's worth mentioning that Wen Xishu eventually revealed that Evelyn was not dead.

He speculated that Evelyn had probably found some special opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's ranks.

Of course, this is just speculation, a speculation that everyone likes to hear.

There is another possibility, though.

Albert had also thought of this.

But no matter what, as long as people are alive, there is hope.

This is also why Albert was in such a good mood.

Xu Manjin quickly found the sword that resonated with him.

It was a very short sword, only as long as an arm. Purple quality.

The quality of this sword is actually higher than that of Xun Hui and Zheng Zai.

The sword's initial attribute is called "Heart Thrust." Hitting an opponent will amplify their personality weaknesses and flaws.

For example, it can make an arrogant person even more arrogant.

Xu Manjin really likes this attribute:
"Thank you, Dean Wen. With this sword, I think my enjoyment of climbing the tower will be even greater."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"If you are not satisfied, I can bring you here to change it when the Sword Forging Hall reopens next time."

Xu Manjin expressed his gratitude once again.

He didn't know these people at all, but he easily blended in.

Although there are many swords in the sword-making hall, only a few slots were available this time.

Wen Xishu thought about it for a long time and decided to give the last spot to Xu Manjin, the second person in the Ghost Tower whom he had never met before, instead of giving it to Yue Yun and Nissen.

After all, the swords here all cost money, and the prices aren't low, but the people here can afford them.

Inspired by Liu Jianxin's words, Wen Xishu truly hoped that he would not be alone in the future.

If the Three Towers War really comes, he hopes to have more than just people like Tang Rui, Charlie, and Liu Jianxin around him.

I also hope that there are people in the bunker who can fight alongside me.

Xu Manjin is very good at judging people; he could tell at a glance what Dean Wen was hoping for.

After thinking about it, he decided to give Wen Xishu something as well.
