Three Towers Game

Chapter 411 Assassination of Wen Xiange

Three Towers Battlefield.

Unknown land.

As Master Lingqing said, the most terrifying thing in this world may not be those disordered and chaotic cities.

Rather, they are special places that claim to be places of order building, refuges, or new cities.

Among these many cities, there is one called the City of Hunters.

Before the apocalypse, Hunter City was located in Southeast Asia, home to the largest underground boxing market and the largest human organ trading market.

Here, everything can be bought and sold, and every order will be accepted.

This city has even more special rules after the apocalypse.

The city is home to masked merchants who sell all sorts of goods.

Canned goods, ready-made meals, even fresh ingredients and cellar-aged iced tea.

As long as you pay, the merchant will definitely give you the goods.

The former hunting town now boasts towering city walls. These massive walls enclose the entire city.

Outsiders can't get in, and the people inside have a hard time getting out.

In order to survive, the hunters in the hunting city can only accept various commissions from the merchant guild to obtain enough currency to buy goods from merchants.

There are a large number of Longxia people here, as well as people from Longxia's neighboring countries, such as the island nation and the Qi nation.

Of course, there are also some people from the Middle East and even Northern Europe, but the proportion is small.

To live here, you have to find a way to go to the Chamber of Commerce and get orders.

This is a city entirely populated by bounty hunters.

Hunting grounds don't support idlers.

In Hunter City, there are always new faces, and you often lose some familiar faces.

No one knows who is in charge behind the Chamber of Commerce.

People only know that here they don't have to worry about being attacked by monsters from the outside world, and although there is no law or order here... it's still much better than a city full of strange rules and black and red houses.

This place seems to be the last place of survival bestowed upon humanity by some deity.

Of course, some people say that this is a place where some god enslaves humans.

It uses the food and water that humans could easily obtain before the apocalypse to enslave people to do tasks far exceeding the value of the resources.

However, if given the choice, many people would still enter the hunting city.

At the very least, you can use your abilities to continuously acquire wealth in the hunting city, and eventually you can even build your own fortress.

Legend has it that there are three castles in the hunting city, and the most powerful hunters in the city live in those castles.

These hunters had completed so many missions that they no longer needed to worry about supplies, and began to focus on building their spiritual lives, such as large houses, beautiful women, slaves, and status...

Many people aspire to own the fourth castle.

Almi was such a hunter.

Six months ago, I was someone who wandered in a fog for a long time and eventually passed out...

After he woke up, he found himself in the hunting city.

He quickly learned the rules of the hunting city and realized that it was a bounty hunting ground.

As he continued to complete missions, Almi gradually gained some fame, but that was all. He longed for a partner, but the women in the hunting city were all extremely pragmatic.

In the hunting city, hunters who haven't earned a single property have no right to mate.

Almi longed to own his own house and a partner, and live a pre-apocalyptic life in the hunting city.

However, this seems like a long way off.

Almi had been waiting for an opportunity. Now, he had finally gotten it.

He would always spend his spare time in the Chamber of Commerce, looking for valuable missions.

On this day, he finally discovered a high-value target.

"Hear the music!"

[Mission Type: Bunker Traversal Mission]

[Mission Objective: To hear the music.]

[Target Information: A notorious charlatan on the Three Towers battlefield, he uses his persuasive abilities to sow the seeds of "faith." While not physically strong, he possesses a powerful ability to manipulate. Due to his personal experiences, he was actively chosen by a rare sequence of desires, and the rise of the Sunset Tree Cult is largely attributed to him. The internal harmony of Wind City also depends entirely on him. However, you will now travel to the era before he mastered his abilities.]

[Mission Requirements: Kill Wen Xiange, or disable his core abilities.]

[Important Notes: You can only stay in the bunker for a maximum of seven days. After seven days, you will return to Hunting City. Rewards will be given based on the extent of your influence on Wen Xiange during those seven days.]

Bunker crossing mission?

This is a completely new type of task.

It seems like I haven't encountered this before? No, it's true that I haven't encountered it before.

Almi was secretly delighted.

It seems the Chamber of Commerce has more mission versions now. Previously, you'd be teleported to other cities to assassinate targets.

Or make someone's life even more hopeless.

Almi had a premonition that if he could assassinate Wen Xiange, he would surely obtain a generous reward.

"It sounds like a mission to travel back in time and change the future trajectory of a great person."

Many people have their eyes on this mission; in fact, several other "bunker crossing missions" have been added this time.

For example, killing Zheng Zai, a character with distinct traits, is very weak, but his future becomes unpredictable because he has mastered the ability to devour and evolve.

However, no one had considered this task.

Devouring and evolving...

This is an extremely powerful hunting talent. Such a person must be formidable, even in the early stages.

Wen Xiange, on the other hand, is clearly an easy target, a charlatan who only knows how to talk his way out of things.

Thinking about it this way, hunters who are good at interpreting missions all yearn to receive such missions.

But Almi was the quickest to react.

He quickly obtained the task.

"Congratulations, you've received a great mission. According to our latest intelligence, Wen Xiange is already a celebrity in the bunker, but he hasn't realized his talent yet and often blends in with the lower levels."

The Chamber of Commerce's guide is a person who has only one head but wears three masks.

"Go this way, through this door you will reach the bunker. Remember, your opportunity is precious; we can only acquire a limited number of bunker intrusion slots at a time. Don't raise any suspicion, and eliminate the target cleanly and efficiently."

"If you can eliminate the target, your tower climbing level will increase, and correspondingly, you will unlock more assassination qualifications for important figures in the bunker."

"Believe me, any one of them could make your life in Hunting City comfortable."

Almi nodded, but he had his own thoughts in mind.

……

……

bunker.

After Wen Xishu contacted the former principal Albert, the two realized that the era in which challengers would climb bunkers like towers was likely approaching.

The five elders—Rovon, William Gordon, Matthew Jones, Albert, the Bunker Security Bureau, and the Bunker Administration—quickly began formulating policies.

But plans can never keep up with changes.

Just when they thought they could prevent it, change had already arrived at the bunker.

Meanwhile, Albert and his team were also quite troubled. "We know nothing about the challengers, and our bunker itself has many security problems."

Do you know how many people die at the bottom of society every day?

"People can die while climbing the Tower of Slaughter and the Tower of Ghosts. Although everyone has become more enthusiastic about climbing the tower and there are more and more strategies, the death rate has only decreased, not disappeared."

“Children are born and people die every day in the bunker. There are too many causes of death, which naturally makes it more difficult for us to find those who have broken through.”

"We're not even sure if there were already people trying to break through the barrier!"

Albert made these remarks at the meeting in the hope that everyone would take this seriously and improve the population census and statistical system as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, as the meeting unfolded, the bunker welcomed its challengers.

Almi's attire was not much different from that of the bunker dwellers; in fact, he was practically unclothed. He was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique, and wore a set of heather gray trousers.

"Wow, bro, you must be a pro at climbing the Tower of Slaughter."

Almi appeared here suddenly. It was like a teleportation where someone suddenly appeared right in front of you in the blink of an eye.

Interestingly, the bunker dwellers seemed to take it all in stride and were not surprised.

"Looks like you've had a good haul. By the way, buddy, are you religious? You're a member of our Sunset Tree Cult, right?"

The Evening Tree Cult?

Almi looked at the friendly stranger in front of him and immediately caught the key words.

A good hunter should remember every word in the quest description.

The Cult of the Evening Tree, isn't that the religion mentioned in the mission?

It's like someone handing you a pillow just when you're about to go to sleep.

This task isn't difficult.

Almi immediately broke into a smile:
"I haven't joined the church yet."

"Oh, that's such a pity. You just came back from the Tower of Slaughter, right? Or the Tower of Devourers?"

What the hell?

Almi couldn't understand at all. But that's okay, the other person has already given him the answer, hasn't they?

"I'm back from the Tower of Ghosts."

"That's amazing! A muscular man like you is actually climbing the Tower of Ghosts. I think you'd be a perfect fit for our Sunset Tree Cult. Would you be willing to listen to the teachings of our Lord?" This was a friendly and devout invitation from a member of the Sunset Tree Cult.

Almi said:
"I'm willing to join the church. Will I be able to meet Wen Xiange?"

"Ah? You know the Grand Elder? Looks like you already know a bit about our sect, hahaha. Don't worry, the Grand Elder is very approachable and often preaches among the lower levels. Come on, I'll take you there! The Grand Elder would definitely be happy to recruit an excellent warrior like you!"

The bunker dwellers, after all, did not know that bunkers could be invaded; at least, nothing like this had ever happened before, except for the Great Devouring.

Therefore, they were completely unsuspecting. In their eyes, those willing to climb the tower were their benefactors. Naturally, they would be extremely friendly to these brave climbers.

Almi felt that the mission was going too smoothly.

The bunker crossing mission is practically a freebie!

Soon, Almi took the elevator to the second level of the bunker.

To be honest, Almi was deeply shocked, but he didn't show it outwardly in order not to reveal his true feelings.

The emotional turmoil within me was immense.

Just one floor, yet it's comparable in size to a hunting city... seemingly capable of holding hundreds of thousands? Millions?
But now, there's a second layer? And it looks like there's a third or fourth layer?
The people here all seem very friendly. Where do they get their resources for survival?

Also, is the ceiling above our heads a simulated sky?
A bunker, could it be an underground fortress?

Almi was deeply shocked.

I felt that this was the ideal refuge.

Could this be a gigantic underground city, far larger than Hunting City?
Almi was deeply shocked.

What he saw next was even more shocking.

Wen Xiange sat on the high platform, below which sat a huge circle of thousands of people. Three inner rings and three outer rings. It was packed with people.

The melody of the stringed instrument is located above, telling the story of "the Way".

Wen Xishu's solution to break the deadlock.

"When our Lord faced the strange rules, while we were all panicking, he remained unusually calm. He quickly arranged for us to begin observing. At that moment, our Lord seemed like God... No, what is God? Our Lord seemed to see through everything and was confident that he could overcome the strangeness!"

Thunderous applause erupted.

Wen Xiange smiled, the light shining on his face, making him look like a saint.

Soon, someone walked up to the platform and whispered a few words to Wen Xiange.

Wen Xiange immediately nodded:

"It seems we have welcomed a new family member today."

"What's your name?"

Wen Xiange stood up and quickly walked down the platform, appearing quite pleased.

He walked toward Almi.

At this moment, Almi actually felt a little flattered.

Almi had never seen such a person before, nor had he ever seen such a kind-faced person who seemed to be bathed in holy light in the hunting city.

Such a person must have a very high status in the bunker, right?
Otherwise, why would so many people be sitting on the ground around him?

Yet this person actually walked barefoot towards me to greet me.

Almi was somewhat dazed.

He underestimated Wen Xiange.

Anyone who can do something to the extreme must have extraordinary abilities.

He didn't believe in any kind of incitement, but seeing thousands of people sitting around Wen Xiange, the awe-inspiring scene reminded him of God.

Wen Xiange does indeed have the appearance of a "venerable one".

He quickly stepped down and took Almi's hands.

"You just climbed the Tower of Ghosts, you must be very tired. You've worked hard, kid. You look very young, just like our leader. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"Come, follow me, come with me to this high platform."

"Everyone, let's cheer together! The bunker has a new hero! Look at this child! How proud he is! At such a young age, he's already fighting in the Tower of Horrors!"

"With young people like these in the bunker, there will surely be eternal peace!"

Standing on the high platform, listening to the chanting and sermons, is a truly awe-inspiring experience.

Standing on the high platform and looking at the people in the bunker from Wen Xiange's perspective is another kind of shock.

Tens of thousands of people sat around, their faces beaming with harmony, happiness, and excitement.

All of this is for his own benefit.

At that moment, Almi felt as if a tremendous miracle was upon him.

He seemed to feel as if he were bathed in holy light.

In that hunting city where everyone treated each other coldly and was extremely pragmatic, he had never had such an experience.

Hearing the Strings and Embracing Almi:

"My child, may my Lord grant you good fortune, so that you may be invincible in the Tower of Deception."

"Would you like to join the Sunset Tree Cult?"
