Three Towers Game

Rest area.

Wen Xishu had already discovered something: the calls in the rest area were no longer limited to the first ten levels.

Many who ask for strategies have begun to seek strategies for the twelfth and thirteenth levels.

In a few areas near the Celestial Essence position, there are even those at the twentieth level; these people are even more famous than him.

The reason is simple: Wen Xishu climbing the tower, any level is reasonable, everyone has been shocked for more than half a year, and has already become indifferent.

But it’s not the same for others.

For others, once they reach the tenth level, they’re considered big shots.

The twentieth level is for geniuses among geniuses, the next legend.

This is just like after Lu Bu’s death, when anyone slightly better than usual would be described as Lu Bu reborn; after Mei Luo, anyone slightly better would be marketed as the successor of the king of football.

Of course, in everyone’s mind, the first of Deceit Tower has long been unshakeable. No matter how the world competes, it can only be for second place.

This time, Wen Xishu’s Scorpion Knife function is "Minor Role Play."

It’s an interesting ability, but Wen Xishu doesn’t know if he can use it on this journey. Simply put, Wen Xishu can forcibly change his identity to that of an unimportant character; as for how unimportant, and what counts as unimportant...

This will only be known after entering the journey.

But this time, the points of the Mad Dice are unimpressive — numbers 1, 2, 5.

These are numbers that hadn’t been rolled before, but unfortunately, they didn’t unlock any new options.

However, they did unlock a new achievement — Lonely Shadow.

Yes, this time the Mad Dice had only one option, this combination of 125 perfectly avoided all other options, with only one suitable for a Quality Upgrade.

Wen Xishu had no choice but to choose the Quality Upgrade. This means that upon completing the challenge, the reward quality will be enhanced.

The description of Lonely Shadow is like this: Your luck is really good, the lonely option matches you so well.

As for whether there is any actual effect after this achievement is unlocked, Wen Xishu doesn’t know.

Because the effect description is also vague: Dice also want to strive, dice are anxious too.

He has a feeling of being teased by three dice.

However...

"Perhaps next time I roll, there’ll be an unexpected surprise?"

This time Wen Xishu didn’t have Three Phases, many sequences could not be used, and the Scorpion Knife did not directly provide combat power.

However, this time the task is indeed quite special.

This time the task... is playing cards.

Quite reasonable, considering in the world of Demon Hunters, even in the most urgent moments you can have a game; saving the world has reached more than sixty levels, being asked for a game is entirely reasonable.

[Task Level: 68.]

[Task Description: Is your stress tolerance strong? Have you experienced the worst start in your life? If your life restarted, and you added a bit of randomness, do you think it would be better?

Challenger, you will face the great ’Judge,’ Judge will complete the adjudication of several ’Lost Ones.’

You can choose "Good" or "Evil" factions, the Judge is always opposed to you.

Wish you draw a good hand in this game of good and evil. But remember the advice: cards are not the most important.]

Several Lost Ones?

It doesn’t seem to be what I initially thought.

At first, seeing "you" in the description, Wen Xishu thought it was once again a special Deceit Tower business targeted at himself.

But evidently, this time it seems to be a normal Deceit Tower trip, the kind that can invite people to Desire Tower.

Wen Xishu checked other information—

[From the guide’s judgment: This survival probability, 3.15 per mille.]

Speaking solely of survival rate, it’s more than ten times the last, so it seems this task is indeed not the usual numeric task.

Wen Xishu continued reading:

[Message from the Deceit Tower guide: Choosing the evil faction, you can win more easily, choosing the good faction... will be challenging, but the rewards will be high. Of course, this theme of good and evil, if you choose good, we presume you succeed in returning... then you will inevitably offend that lord. Choose evil, perhaps this task can repair your relationship with that lord.]

Wen Xishu clearly knows who that lord is.

Naturally, it’s Aquarius.

Wen Xishu seemed to understand, he and the "Judge" would have a card game, the game can decide whether the Lost Ones become good people or Evil People.

If he chooses evil, then the cards drawn will ultimately guide the Lost Ones to become Evil People...

This way, he can gain favor with Aquarius.

Wen Xishu chuckled, strangely enough, Aquarius is definitely a very dangerous character, but for some reason, after meeting her in person... Wen Xishu finds it hard to have much "dread" for this little rascal.

There’s always a feeling of strange superiority facing Aquarius.

Wen Xishu did not choose "forcefully exit the tower" this time.

Since it’s playing cards, comparing skills, he wasn’t afraid.

...

...

Many Deceit Tower scenes start in darkness.

But this time, what Wen Xishu felt was an unsettling sepia tone, like an old photograph forgotten in the cracks of time.

Silence was the most clamorous background noise here.

It wasn’t pure silence, but woven from the subtlest murmurs of countless humans, suppressed sighs, screams that fail to form, a never-ending white noise.

When Wen Xishu tilted his ear to listen, they silently retreated, seemingly able to sense Wen Xishu’s attention.

The composition of all this, was cards.

Endless, boundless playing cards.
