Three Towers Game

"Mr. Wen, welcome to Jicheng. This card is yours now."

"I hope you can defeat the Cosmetic Surgery Family soon."

An Rongzai put down the cue, handed the card to Wen Xishu with both hands, and also gave him a mobile phone:

"Any combat supplies you need, you can directly ask the first contact in the phone’s address book, and he will find you."

Wen Xishu couldn’t help but wonder, if An Rongzai’s ambition were smaller, if he weren’t intent on becoming a big fish in the Three-Tower Battlefield that couldn’t be swallowed...

But instead peacefully guarding Jicheng, he could perhaps become Jicheng’s Batman.

Financial support and firepower support are all in place, and then fighting crime in Jicheng seems to have a promising future.

But obviously, An Rongzai’s ambition is still too great.

After taking the card and phone, Wen Xishu said:

"Alright, I understand."

After taking the card, Wen Xishu left in a whirlwind.

Jin Zaimin said:

"In his world... it’s only been a few days, doesn’t he ever rest?"

An Rongzai shook his head:

"He’s rested, he should have been seriously injured not long ago. It’s quite surprising, I like young people like him, full of energy and decisive, just like my grandson Youxuan."

But after saying this, An Rongzai shook his head again.

This statement overly praised An Youxuan.

...

...

Jicheng, commercial district.

In Jicheng’s most famous shopping center, called Modern Seoul.

Total area of 89,000㎡, 2 underground floors, 6 above ground, single-floor area about 11,000㎡.

This is an extremely large shopping center. Guided by the Compass, Wen Xishu came here again.

This time, he decided to trust the Compass, to believe that his tracker was working fine.

"The Compass has guided me to the mall several times. Seems the target is hiding in a highly crowded area?"

With forty-four hours left, Wen Xishu was not in a hurry and decided to treat himself as if he were here for shopping.

The order in Jicheng seems to be restoring somewhat.

Compared to not long ago, under An Rongzai’s influence, people seem to be slowly adapting to the eve of doomsday.

However, there are many urban legends in various places that everyone marks on forums.

As for the writer Yin Junchi, he’s being pushed for updates like crazy, but he’s gone missing.

Fate has sent Yin Junchi to the Ark.

Thinking about this, Wen Xishu’s attention quickly shifted.

He witnessed a familiar scene.

"Don’t go! Please, don’t go! I beg you not to leave me, I’m willing to do anything."

It was a woman.

An indescribable appearance, with thick flesh and some acne marks on her face, begging a man.

The man bent down and remarkably gently stroked the woman’s face:

"Come on, you don’t have any money now, but I still have to support myself. You can’t be this selfish, right? Do you think you, in your current state, are capable of loving me?"

The woman cried:

"I can’t live without you! I can’t live without you! But I have no money... I gave all my money to you..."

The man smiled and said:

"I also can’t bear to leave you. It’s precisely because you don’t have money that I must work hard now. My business is at a critical stage and lacking this sum."

Listening to the conversation, Wen Xishu immediately realized... this is his memory.

More accurately, it’s the memory given to him by the Cosmetic Surgery Family.

Since the meter never cleared zero, Wen Xishu’s memory only temporarily vanished.

The memory given by the Cosmetic Surgery Family made Wen Xishu feel out of place.

Now, Wen Xishu finally understood where this memory came from.

"So that’s it."

According to memory, in the end, the woman would crazily attempt to use her sister’s tuition to keep the man.

Eventually, the handsome man deceived the woman out of more money.

Everything unfolded just as in Wen Xishu’s memory.

The man promised to accompany the woman shopping the next day, and have dinner, to show everyone she had a handsome boyfriend.

But the price, well, was the woman’s sister’s tuition, all tricked away.

"Alright, alright, I care about you, of course, if I have money, I’d be willing to be with you. But tonight, I really have things to do, so let’s part ways here, okay?"

After comforting the woman, the man left.

Wen Xishu immediately realized the man’s speech greatly coincided with his memory, it was no coincidence.

This man might be related to the Cosmetic Surgery Family.

Wen Xishu decided to pursue him.

...

...

The man’s name is Jiang Linshu.

Tall, handsome, he was originally a male model. After leaving the woman, he checked his balance and discovered the foolish woman had already transferred her sister’s tuition over.

Very efficient.

Jiang Linshu smiled:

"Tsk, another sum."

At this time, Jiang Linshu dialed another number in his phone’s address book.

Notes revealed the target’s name, age.

Huang Meijiao, 31 years old.

Prefers mature types, dislikes nightclub-style young models.

Doesn’t have much money, but her parents are accommodating. Her parents are also formidable among Jicheng’s middle class.

In the dating market, Huang Meijiao is the typical type who thinks she looks like she’s 25, thus actually believing she’s 25.

Her parents have always felt her demands are not high.

Must have a large apartment in Jicheng; can’t drive a car below 56e prices; must be educated at Jicheng University or have study-abroad experience.

Also, must tolerate all of the girl’s caprices.

Most importantly, must look like the middle-aged Zheng Xingyi.

These requirements that normal people can’t meet, scammers can.

Especially, face-changing scammers.

Jiang Linshu muttered to himself:

"Changing faces three times a day consumes quite a lot of points; saving up these points isn’t easy, got to leave a good impression this time."

Jiang Linshu dialed the phone.

His voice changed at this moment.

Hidden in the shadows, observing Jiang Linshu, Wen Xishu’s pupils contracted and expanded.

Jiang Linshu suddenly turned from a creamy charming man into a sophisticated top-tier mature model.

"Miss Huang? I’ve arrived, waiting for you on the agreed fourth floor of Modern Seoul."

Wow...

No wonder they dare to make arrangements for girls in the same location.

I must say, this face-changing skill is practically a player’s weapon.

Dating different women with different appearances, each look tailor-made to conquer various preferences.

Top-tier playboy.

Though it seems face-changing has certain limitations.

The Jiang Linshu before him is clearly not the Cosmetic Surgery Family himself, just someone under the family’s employ.

Wen Xishu decided to extract information from Jiang Linshu first.

First the beating, then the questioning.

Just as Jiang Linshu hung up the phone and took out a makeup mirror to delicately adjust his new face.

Wen Xishu appeared.

"Hello."

Jiang Linshu was taken aback, instinctively touched his face.

After all, there had been times when the face-changing wasn’t finished, resulting in fright and freezing the process, being seen as a monster.

But looking at the makeup mirror, he was reassured.

"Who are you?"

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Next, I’m going to do something a bit excessive to you, you’d better endure."

Wen Xishu said no more, despite being severely injured not long ago, his physique allowed him to effortlessly thrash a mere mortal.

Jiang Linshu was savagely pummeled, not daring to shout loudly.

In excruciating pain, one actually doesn’t scream.

Whenever Jiang Linshu attempted to call for help, Wen Xishu precisely applied pressure, rendering him speechless in agony.

After several rounds, reflexes kicked in, Jiang Linshu dared not shout loudly anymore.

He weakly asked:

"Who... who are you? Did... did some girl hire you? I don’t want the money... I don’t want it! How much did I cheat her? Tell me! I’ll give it all back to you!"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"See, you still haven’t recognized your error. Never mind, when you see the light flashing in your mind, you’ll understand."

Wen Xishu continued beating him.

Finally, after yet another beating, Jiang Linshu changed his tune:

"Brother... brother... stop hitting me, tell me what you want me to do! Tell me! As long as you’ll let me go!"

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Now you’re talking, tell me, how did you manage to change your face just now?"

Facing this question, Jiang Linshu instinctively tried to resist, but seeing Wen Xishu was unreasonable, starting to forcibly extract his teeth, he was terrified, wetting his pants:

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

"It’s an ability granted by the God! But it requires points! I must deceive other people’s feelings to earn points!"

Wen Xishu squinted his eyes:

"Continue, tell me how you met this God, and all details about it."

Jiang Linshu tentatively asked:

"Brother... are you dissatisfied with your modelling? I can introduce you!"
