Three Towers Game

(Failed again today! Definitely tomorrow!)

Slaughter Tower, Level 60.

Reaching Level 60 for Xun Hui was just a matter of time.

So it wasn’t surprising for Xun Hui to suddenly arrive at Level 60.

But the scene at Level 60 indeed made Xun Hui feel a bit... eerie.

Not long ago, Xun Hui had killed a chirping creature in the Slaughter Tower that could understand human speech – Slaughter Linnai.

A girl who sacrificed her father at a very early age.

She wasn’t very difficult to handle, Xun Hui blasted her head with three punches. To be precise, it was actually a single punch.

The reason for needing the third punch was because it was Xun Hui’s first time encountering such an entity.

His first punch hit Slaughter Linnai, making her scream in agony, almost cracking her head open.

Logically speaking, someone like this shouldn’t be able to survive.

But Linnai was still alive and had become stronger.

Xun Hui had a feeling that his punch not only didn’t injure Linnai but instead gave Linnai a feeling of "pain but also pleasure."

Pain seemed to make Linnai joyous.

So, to test it, Xun Hui delivered a second punch. The intensity didn’t decrease. The second punch drew a taunt from Linnai:

"Is this it? Is this it? Hehehe, I will eat you! I will eat your guts clean!"

The first punch, Linnai felt "pain and pleasure," but it truly hurt her enough to grit her teeth.

With the second punch, though the intensity hadn’t decreased, Linnai clearly didn’t feel much of an impact from it anymore.

Thus, Xun Hui confirmed one thing.

This Linnai had an astonishing growth ability.

He—it turned out to be wrong. In fact, it was just because Linnai’s pain tolerance had increased. And, pain in this place made them stronger.

Of course, Xun Hui without the omniscient view would only follow his own thoughts.

He prepared for a fierce battle, deciding not to hold back. So, with the third punch, he activated his fullest power, gathering all possible sequences and mobilizing every bit of strength.

Slaughter Linnai was still taunting:

"Come on, baby, you can make me feel more pain, right?"

Before the words had faded, Xun Hui’s punch landed.

This punch had already two-tenths of Albert’s power.

This punch, Linnai felt like a train full of death gods was crashing into her...

And then—nothing came after.

Linnai’s head exploded instantly, then was turned into dust by the terrifying force of the punch.

Dead.

Died without pain.

Anyone who often experiences headshots knows, if the headshot is fast enough, the brain’s nerves don’t have time to react before dying. People often don’t show any change in expression when their head is shot off. The sudden shock seen on TV doesn’t actually exist.

Of course—

For Xun Hui, it was even more exaggerated, entirely blowing the head to pieces.

Slaughter Linnai naturally couldn’t rely on the power of pain to regenerate, moreover, she didn’t even feel the pain.

Only after Xun Hui confirmed Slaughter Linnai was completely dead, did he seriously analyze:

"They should be like zombies, beings that need to be killed by headshots. I get it, this must be a rule-based place, full of zombies... maybe I should find the Zombie King."

Xun Hui, completely off track, nodded to himself, thinking that if Wenren Mirror were here, she’d definitely agree with his analysis.

"Weird, looking at the clothing style, why does it feel like it’s from the Island Country. Similar to the Miyamoto family."

...

.....

Desire Tower, Level 60, Hujiang District 20.

Wen Xishu didn’t expect... this team-up would be so successful, and the team attributes would be so powerful.

He had already divided responsibilities with Wenren Mirror, one in charge of District 20, the other District 19.

But what surprised him was—

He actually arrived at District 19, with Wenren Mirror right beside him.

"This... why didn’t we separate?" Wen Xishu was a bit surprised.

"I guess it might be because of the Luck Value. My Luck Value is very high." Wenren Mirror said frankly.

Wenren Mirror continued:

"Compared to Anti-Magic Value and Slaughter Value, Luck Value’s presence has always been low... but when it comes into play, it often brings us very close to the truth."

"However, the world in the Desire Tower is vast. Even so, it’s hard to find the real truth. But this time, it seems the mechanism of the invitation letter worked on me too."

"So it led to both of us appearing in the same place."

"If a person’s Luck Value is high enough, it can even influence their teammates."

Wen Xishu suddenly realized.

His Luck Value was not low, but facing Level 60, obviously, it was not enough. But Wenren Mirror was different, she had broken through Level 60 a long time ago.

"Well, it seems like we can change our plan, senior," Wen Xishu said seriously.

At this moment, the two were on the streets of Hujiang.

Hujiang’s commercial street, like a flowing ribbon, weaved through the urban jungle of skyscrapers, neon lights flashing, streams of people bustling. On both sides of the street, advertisements were layered upon each other, forming a dazzling sea of lights.

Wen Xishu could smell the scent of takoyaki and ramen.

At this moment in Hujiang, although strange phenomena were abundant, it was the grandest area of bizarre tales —

But those tales were still lurking, waiting for the end of the world to arrive. People’s lives seemed to be mostly continuing as usual.

"Do you have any plans?" Wenren Mirror asked.

More and more gazes fell upon Wenren Mirror.

Wenren Mirror’s tall and handsome appearance attracted the attention of many men and women.

Once again, Wen Xishu became the supporting character.

"Previously, I didn’t think we would be assigned to the same place... it seems, partly due to Luck Value, and partly, if our previous guesses were correct, it’s possible that in such Three Towers team-up missions, the team attributes are indeed very strong."
