Chapter 1337 - 424: The Future Intelligence of Small Characters (2)
Meanwhile, Wen Xishu made some special arrangements in his room, not in terms of furniture, but "rules."
For instance, while in this room, he would never be deceived.
These kinds of rules hold true within this room.
Another example is that while in this room, he would never be affected by the negative effects of other rules.
When he is in the room, the damage he takes is drastically minimized.
Indeed, both of these rules stand. The second rule practically makes Wen Xishu invincible in the room; this is the rule. Unless faced with an entity like Albert whose stats are inflated to break the rules, Wen Xishu is essentially an existence without a health bar in the room.
As Wen Xishu stood there, he suddenly found he could recall... the specific appearance of Almi.
Previously, Wen Xishu had to rely on the narration spirit of the Shipwreck House to recall Almi, but he couldn’t remember what Almi looked like, only textual information.
Now it’s different; once back in his own room, Wen Xishu can recall the complete "Hunter City Intelligence."
At the same time, Wen Xishu also connected his residence with other facilities he had acquired. Simply put, all facilities previously obtained by Wen Xishu—
Hospital, Shipwreck House, Travel Agency, Library, Safe House, Three Towers Memory Record, Good People Association, Prison, Ten Thousand Swords Manor, Hundred Maze...
Wen Xishu can use the residence as an operation center—or rather, a terminal—to access intelligence data within the facilities, monitor them, or directly issue certain instructions to them.
However, regrettably, Wen Xishu cannot achieve more extreme effects—for instance, a setting where as long as he stays in the residence, he would never die.
This pen can only establish limited rules and provide significant convenience to Wen Xishu, but overly extreme rules cannot be achieved.
Of course, some interesting features can also be developed. Wen Xishu discovered that he can change the flow of time here, that is, he can make time in the room flow extremely slowly.
He can experience what it means to live a day as though it were a year in the physical sense within the room.
Nevertheless, Wen Xishu had not yet had time to thoroughly study the details before he received a phone call.
Yes, he naturally needed to set up a phone in the residence, which had also been imbued with superpowers by the pen.
All those attempting to contact him, whether dialing his academy office number or a friend’s, would bypass others and connect directly to the residence phone.
However, the effect is limited to within the Bunker. Wen Xishu also wrote words like "including the Three-Tower Battlefield," but, unfortunately, this couldn’t be realized.
"Is it the principal? Great, you’ve returned directly. I was thinking of contacting the Academy Spirit first. It’s like this, someone claiming to be Almi wants to meet you."
This was a teacher from the Three Towers Academy, responsible not for teaching but for the school’s entrance affairs.
The teacher initially intended to contact the Academy Spirit, but due to Wen Xishu’s modifications, the call connected directly to Wen Xishu himself.
Wen Xishu chuckled:
"I just returned not long ago. Almi? He is my friend. You should bring him to the Deceit Tower Academy and be courteous."
Just as he was about to go to sleep, someone handed him a pillow.
At this moment, Almi was stuck outside the Three Towers Academy, having recently met with the Hunter, Rokosi.
Rokosi was skilled at observation, yet he truly didn’t expect Almi to choose to betray a world where he could reside permanently for one that he could only stay in for seven days.
Moreover, as a high-level Hunter, the cost of betrayal for Rokosi in Hunter City would be even higher, so he instinctively avoided this option.
Thus, when Almi introduced the Bunker, Rokosi merely marveled at Almi’s intelligence-gathering abilities.
"The person you just contacted... does he remember you?"
At the gate of Three Towers Academy, Rokosi softly inquired.
Almi said:
"He doesn’t remember, but people here have no sense of danger. Trust me, soon enough, someone will lead us to find this person. I’ve also investigated for quite some time."
"Lord Rokosi, your mission objective is the students of the Three Towers Academy, and so is mine. I consider this bringing you in, this should count as a reward."
Rokosi felt more at ease. As long as money was involved, the motive seemed very reasonable.
"Heh, from my perspective, this place doesn’t seem difficult; even without your help, I could find it. The people here have no defenses..."
"I’m afraid if they went to Hunter City, they wouldn’t survive a day. As I observe this bunker..."
Rokosi didn’t finish speaking, but the disdain in his eyes and the smile at the corner of his mouth showed he looked down on this bunker.
He was already beginning to think that this mission wasn’t of much importance.
"Are we going to meet an important figure in this school next? Little brother, killing him will raise the mission rating, right?" Rokosi asked, a bit excited.
Almi then said:
"Yes, according to my investigations, this is a high-ranking official in the academy, an important figure in the entire bunker, far more valuable than our mission target."
"Actually, just as you said, I spent a full seven days probing last time, really only completing the task at the very end, just to investigate the bunker’s ecology..."
"Here, due to the excessively low survival pressure, everyone is like an idiot, and they are extremely weak. They are very friendly, seemingly naturally believing no one would harm them."
"Of course, the subsequent timeline seems to indicate that the bunker went through something, and the people here began to grow stronger, also becoming an enemy of the Commerce Association..."
