The first time someone enters the Desire Tower, Deceit Tower, or Slaughter Tower, they will be directly placed into the corresponding tower's area.
From the second time onwards, they will first enter the "rest area."
All players of the Three Towers can stay in the rest area for up to one hour.
During this hour, players can ask other players of the Three Towers present at the same time about strategies for certain levels or inquire if anyone has the same mission and seek to team up.
Alternatively, players can sell items, trade strategies, and special tools needed for certain scenarios here.
Of course, they can also choose to climb the towers ahead of time and not stay in the rest area.
The rest area overall resembles a market, with many display stands and shelves.
But if seen from above, the area looks more like a chessboard, with crisscrossing paths, nineteen vertical and nineteen horizontal.
Many people occupy a display stand, selling various items.
Wen Xishu's sudden appearance also caught the attention of others.
"Wow, you look like you've just come of age. Which house are you from, young man?"
Wen Xishu was in the area of vertical ten, horizontal ten, which is the center of the rest area, the celestial essence of the chessboard.
The person greeting Wen Xishu was a kindly looking man with a benign smile that gave off a vibes of prosperity.
His smile was even kinder than Sha Ruijing's, but it had an air of deceit and flattery, possibly due to his very rounded double chins.
Next to him was a cold woman, her gaze sharp, but her features were undeniably delicate.
"Oh, I apologize for my rudeness. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Ji Bodah and this is my wife Liu Ruyan."
"We have all kinds of information you might need. May I ask which house you belong to, young man?"
Ji Bodah was very polite.
In his view, considering this was an eighteen-year-old, such a young age to directly enter the Desire Tower, and being of yellow skin...
This was definitely no ordinary family.
However, Ji Bodah was very puzzled why this young lad appeared at the celestial essence position.
This place was not a spot for newcomers.
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"I'm just a newbie who has just climbed the tower, nothing about being a nobleman. I'm merely a citizen from the bottom of a bunker."
Ji Bodah waved his hand:
"You're joking, young man. By arriving in the Celestial Essence District, you've proven that at this time, your tower level is at the highest tier."
Hearing this, Wen Xishu realized there must be some reasoning behind it and did not stand on ceremony, asking directly:
"So you mean the closer one's starting position is to the central area, the higher their level?"
Ji Bodah scrutinized Wen Xishu carefully, seeing that the young man didn't seem to be pretending, he was curious:
"You really didn't know?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I had no idea."
Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan exchanged glances, and this time it was Liu Ruyan who spoke; her tone was cold, but her voice was pleasant:
"It's normal not to trust us. We sell information from the first to the thirty-seventh level, and we have a lot of intelligence."
"If you have any questions, you can ask us."
Wen Xishu looked around; indeed, only he and the couple were in the Celestial Essence District.
His level corresponded to the twenty-first floor of the Desire Tower.
Although there was a lot of noisy yelling outside, indicating there were many people in the rest area...
But among so many, the exploration levels weren't high, possibly between levels one and ten.
And he had already reached the celestial essence position.
In other words, during this hour, his twenty-first level was the highest. Only Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan were about the same as him.
Unless someone of a higher level came in and pushed him out.
Wen Xishu more or less understood which area ordinary tower climbers usually frequent.
This couple could sell information from the first to the thirty-seventh level, so they must be top-notch experts.
He said:
"I need to go to the twenty-first floor to help a child named Jennifer bring joy to her."
Upon hearing the words "twenty-first floor" and "Jennifer," Ji Bodah was shocked.
Because the young man in front of him was really too young, seemingly just at the age allowed to climb the tower.
Such a young person had already explored more than twenty floors, truly a prodigy of the Desire Tower.
This made him more certain that this young man was a scion of some wealthy family from the bunker.
