Three Towers Game

Chapter 423 The Mystery of Bizhen Comes to an End
As the mission drew to a close, Wen Xishu felt the pen in his hand trembling slightly.

Perhaps it was because she didn't want to be separated from the author, Mo Sen.

Mosen laughed:

"I'm a little tired, I'll take a break. I hope to hear good news from you."

Wen Xishu carefully hid the pen and the special invitation. He also received a notification that the mission was complete.

Then, Wen Xishu experienced a familiar feeling of dizziness.

Mo Sen sat back down, picked up an ordinary pen, and began to write silently.

……

……

The place of reception.

The three-headed guide waited respectfully, while the black-headed demon said obsequiously:

"Sir, you are amazing! Very few people from Bizhen can return. Congratulations!"

Wen Xishu has now officially passed the sixty-sixth floor.

He said:
"I'm lucky. Who would have thought that the owner of Bizhen and I are from the same hometown? This is like a plot twist in a wish-fulfillment novel. However, perhaps it's not that I'm looking for the answer, but that the answer is actively looking for me."

Wen Xishu had not read all of Mo Sen's works, nor did he know how Mo Sen described them. Perhaps Mo Sen longed to travel back in time, but in the end, he was met by himself, a fellow time traveler.

In short, I got a very nice pen.

Wen Xishu said:
"Is there anything you can give me?"

The guide's three heads were immediately dumbfounded.

Since they are no longer in charge of the rewards, to be honest, there's not much left for Wenxi Tree.

The last time they forced players to retreat from the tower, that was already a huge "sacrifice".

Wen Xishu didn't continue with the psychological manipulation; he knew he couldn't exploit her too much.

He simply nodded and prepared to head to the Gate of Inquiry.

But just as his figure was about to disappear into the doorway, the white-haired man said:

"I can give you a treasure, but it's a one-time consumable. To be honest, it's something I think you can only give me when you're on the 80th floor of the Tower of Ghosts."

"But...we don't know what secret you obtained in Pen Town. Perhaps you are about to take action, so...so we might as well give you this. Maybe it can help you."

The white head was responsible for the rewards from the Desire Tower, and Wen Xishu was somewhat curious whether this thing was related to the Desire Tower.

He said:
"What is it?"

White Desire gave a key to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:
Which door is this?

In the Land of Guidance, there are many doors and clocks.

Wen Xishu guessed that this key might be the key to a certain door.

Both the black-headed demon and the red-headed slayer were surprised by the white-headed desire's generosity.

White pointed to a door on the edge, which was blocked by a dozen clocks. Wen Xishu had never really seen this door before.

"Where will this door lead once it's opened?" Wen Xishu asked.

The white-haired man said:

"The key can be used twice. After two uses, the door will disappear. As for where it leads, I don't know, because the destination is uncertain. However, you can use this door to travel to the latest timeline of the Three Towers world and meet the most important figures."

Wen Xishu frowned subconsciously:

"Could it be related to zodiac signs?"

The three-headed man said:
"K."

"You may have."

"It should work."

Wen Xishu had a sense of familiarity.

Should I open this door now?

"If I enter the trial of conscience now, I should be able to return to the bunker after the trial ends, right?"

The three-headed man said:
"It can't be wrong."

"correct."

"Can't be wrong."

Considering that repeatedly using this sentence structure would anger Wen Xishu, the black-haired ghost added:

"You can only enter the Land of Guidance after completing the challenge. Unfortunately, if you want to open the door and try to see what's behind it..."

"It's possible now, but if you enter the 'Questioning the Heart' stage, you'll have to do it after completing the next challenge."

"This door will most likely guide you to a certain constellation, but which one exactly depends on luck. Of course, this is not absolute; it could also be something else."

"If you need reinforcements for one of your operations and you are about to decide to take action, then you might as well give it a try."

Wen Xishu finally managed to hold back his anger.

He quickly made a decision not to go through the door.

To change the curse of one's zodiac sign, it's indeed best to have the help of astrology.

But now, Taurus, Libra, and Aquarius have turned against him.

Aries is unfathomable, Pisces is unpredictable, Scorpio is unfathomable, and Leo is indistinguishable.

The virgin and the other person should be on good terms.

Sagittarius and Gemini are considered to be on the same side.

Capricorn and Cancer are too mysterious, they're practically strangers to me.

Once inside the door, the probability of encountering your own people is extremely low.

So Wen Xishu gave up.

He decided to wait.

Without much thought, Wen Xishu entered the trial of the heart.

……

……

Within the chaotic realm, there was the same warmth as before.

Wen Xishu heard a familiar voice.

Let's continue with the question from last time. You've become much more resolute and honest. One last question: if one day the flowers you've cultivated must wither and become a sacrifice, would you sacrifice them?

Wen Xishu now understands the meaning of this question.

He thought for a while:

"I will do everything in my power to prevent this from happening, I really will do everything in my power, to the best of my ability. That's my answer. Don't ask me what will happen if I can't prevent it even if I do my best, and don't keep bringing up this question."

After a brief silence, the voice of Wenxin Guan appeared:
This is perhaps the best answer. So, the next question: If you had the power to create this sequence, what would you write down? Wealth? Power? Influence?

"Do you find it funny that I would hope the world would return to the right way and wish for peace and prosperity?"

Wen Xishu, sometimes you don't need to tell the truth in a joking way. Why don't we be more honest? You've already carried a lot, and you're willing and even happy to carry it. But it seems you haven't forgiven some things yet.

[Next question: If possible, who would you like to go with to complete that mission? The mission to change the zodiac curse.]

Wen Xishu thought for a moment:

"Gemini, I want to see him. Will this answer increase my chances of running into him behind the door?"

I cannot predict the future. Because you used special privileges, your reward won't be very high. I can ask one last question—

If you truly had the chance to complete that task, but you could only use that pen to solve one of many problems—such as a zodiac curse, the fate of an outer god, or your own destiny—which would you choose?

"I don't know, maybe I've read that book? That book must be an extremely powerful tool, right?"

Yes, it comes with a pen, representing the most powerful embodiment of the chamber of commerce's owner's influence.

"The Outer Gods have so many tricks up their sleeves."

[All issues are resolved. Although you only achieve a level six completion, you possess powerful authority to alter our final judgment. See you next time. Now, check your gains.]

Wen Xishu glanced at the panel.

[Code name: Wenxi Tree.]

[Slaughter Tower Level: 35. Kill Point Cap: 670.]

[Tower of Mystery Level: 62. Magic Resistance: 164 points.]

[Tower of Desire Level: 56. Luck Value: 140 points.]

[Tower strength remaining: 33 points. (Two points of gain come from facilities)]

Number of sequence slots: 10.

The Desire Tower level has increased by two levels, which is not much.

However, the tower strength value increased by two points.

Wen Xishu glanced at it and immediately understood that these two points of Tower Power came from Wanjian Manor. It seemed that the facility produced weapons that could be smelted into Tower Power.

This is good.

This time, Wen Xishu received a facility reward.

Level 6 Facilities - Private Residence (Special Edition for Bizhen)

Simply put, this is Wenxi Tree's private residence. It's a two-story house.

In his own residence, Wen Xishu can unlock various items using a pen.

However, these items cannot be taken out of the house.

He can use his pen to DIY a house that he likes.

This thing is purely for enjoyment, so Wen Xishu doesn't really care about it.

What he cared about most was that he had obtained three Freedom Runes.

Free runes are runes that can be embedded in any sequence.

Wen Xishu embedded it in the mental barrage.

These three runes are: Immune to Thirst, Immune to Hunger, and Immune to Fatigue.

With the enhanced Iron Man training, I'm now truly a top-notch employee of the Three Towers Company.

Of course, with the help of Zhisheng, he gained more than just that.

He also acquired a prop.

"Bonfire Pen Town Special Edition"

This is an orange item usable by all three towers; its effect is simple and straightforward.

"As long as you are not in the target's line of sight, using the campfire will grant you 15 minutes of free time. During this time, you can heal and recover. However, this item can only be used every 24 hours."

This is simply a pause tool.

Even when facing a powerful enemy, as long as you instantly hide behind the enemy, you can forcibly pause the battle for fifteen minutes, gaining fifteen minutes of absolute safety.

This gives Wen Xishu another way to save his life.

"This thing... might be surprisingly effective in the book-stealing mission. Now we just need to decide when to start that mission."

That's all.

The harvest wasn't particularly bountiful, but with runes, powerful items, and facilities, it wasn't bad at all.

If the forced tower retreat wasn't activated, the resulting campfire might be more powerful.

But the dog's life was more important. Wen Xishu wouldn't regret it afterward.

Just when Wen Xishu thought everything was over, he received another message.

[Leo's favorability +20.]

The fact that he gained 20 points of favorability in one go surprised Wen Xishu.

Could it be Reed?
……

……

Lion City.

This city wasn't originally called Lion City; it was a city with maple leaves and a coastline.

Because the fiery red maple leaves were so beautiful, Leon loved the place and ultimately decided to make it his headquarters.

So far, only Leon has clearly identified a city as his constellation.

Other constellations simply have a hidden area.

Some constellation areas are very small, and some don't even have any area at all. To avoid being hunted down, they constantly hide and wander.

For example, Capricorn.

Leon didn't care about these things. He also knew that there were many informants from other constellations, as well as informants from non-constellation forces, in his city.

He will regularly clean up those who have gone too far, and of course, there are also some whose attitudes will gradually change because of his personality and the governance of Singapore.

Leon is very happy today.

“Reed, I’m almost ready to hold your funeral. I’ve even had the guards prepare a manuscript of your glorious death to be delivered to your family.”

"That place is no ordinary place. I never expected you to come back alive."

On the streets lined with maple leaves, dozens of powerful Lion City warriors were drinking heartily at a banquet, each holding a bowl.

Reid said:

"Hehe, Lord Leon, I request to become your personal guard!"

"I want to challenge one of the four Guards!"

Reid's red hair bounced like burning flames as he passionately gazed at the four Royal Guards, Leon's strongest subordinates, those who could accompany him and fight alongside him to eliminate the strongest beings in the Three Towers War.

Leon sized up Reid without speaking, but a tall, sickly-looking middle-aged man next to Leon, who coughed occasionally, spoke up:

"Looks like you've been promoted, Reed."

"But you have to know that those around adults not only need to be destructive, but also absolutely loyal."

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but against those with powerful mental intrusion abilities, Reed, your flames seem insufficient. Cough cough cough…”

The plague in the Four Guards.

This character is one of the most troublesome, capable of inflicting various negative effects on opponents.

While its combat ability is not strong, making it the weakest of the four guards, if left unchecked and allowed to continuously unleash its abilities, the damage it causes should not be underestimated.

At the same time, a emaciated child also said:

"Ryder, do you want to challenge me? I might just eat you up."

This child is hungry, and also one of the Four Guards. He is the most unreasonable and powerful among Leon's men. "Unreasonable" is not a character trait, but rather a description of his fighting style.

He can endure all the pain inflicted by his opponents.

The woman, dressed entirely in black except for her eyes, said:
“Reed, let me give you a try. If you can hold out, you might be able to join the Royal Guard Reserve.”

The woman's eyes suddenly turned into snake pupils.

In that instant, Red felt as if he were in a dark hell, surrounded by deadly snakes.

"Don't let your flames ruin our feast, Reed. If you can't hold on, just give up."

Although he is a meritorious official, and although he has just returned from a special conscription, he may still be carrying some secret...

But Reed was too arrogant. In Lion City, anyone who dared to challenge the Four Guards had to pay the price for his recklessness, or rather, his courage.

Just when everyone thought that Reed would be driven to the brink of collapse by the "chaos" mental invasion, a massive fire erupted.

The flames that swept everything engulfed the banquet.

"Damn it, I told you not to mess up the banquet...wait, why isn't this fire hot? Cough cough cough...this is interesting."

The plague, coughing, noticed that Reed seemed to have suddenly become immune to all poisons.

The flames he unleashed startled those around him, but they did not damage any physical objects.

The flames only reignited the burning intensity in Reed's previously dazed eyes.

Chaos never expected that the energy fluctuations generated by his mental intrusion could be "burned".

This was the first time she had ever seen a flame capable of burning away spiritual power.

Reid said:

"I am now immune to all poisons! Lord Leon, this is my newfound power! Isn't it amazing! Can I become your bodyguard?"

Leo became interested.

Keep in mind that in the apocalypse, even those who can devour their opponents for power due to hunger wouldn't progress this quickly.

Bizhen, that place, never seeks out people who are too powerful.

The top experts all know that the ultimate secret is hidden in that place.

But just like how you can't enter anymore once you're above level 90, there's a level cap there.

So there is no way.

Those who can go are naturally not very strong.

Reed is not bad; he has mastered the power of fire bursts and has great potential.

However, compared to the four guards, the gap is huge.

But since his return, Reed has clearly made great progress.

They even possessed a special kind of flame.

Such progress is probably only achievable by bunker dwellers who risk their lives to climb towers.

Leon was curious about what Reed had gone through.

"Sit down, Reed. Tell me what you've been through."
