Chapter 38 - Chapter 31 The Bosses of Slaughter Tower

Nissen jumped up excitedly:

"Bro, I can see you guys are not simple at all. This treasure is definitely extraordinary. As long as the three of us work together, we can definitely overcome the challenges!"

Wen Xishu gradually got used to Nissen's way of always trying to rhyme his speech.

Yue Yun said:

"If there's only one piece of treasure and the three of us find it, how should we divide it?"

That was a very good question, and Nissen also fell silent.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but want to laugh.

A person's life is a continuous process of compromise and self-constriction.

Wen Xishu had seen too many cases of people with grand dreams in their youth, who continuously scaled back their ambitions, and eventually just wanted to live an ordinary life.

Having lived two lives, he naturally lost interest in certain elusive things.

Especially in scenarios where everyone couldn't find something, but he could, he didn't believe it would happen to him at all.

But looking at Yue Yun, it seemed he'd already decided the academy's treasure belonged to him.

This made Wen Xishu feel like he was back in his school days.

Of course, as a transmigrator, it wasn't true to say he had no expectations for his life.

"Let's see who it suits best. Although it's a treasure, it might not necessarily match our attributes. When the time comes, we'll see who it's most suitable for, and give it to them."

"Our meeting is fate. If we can find something that all the senior students couldn't, it shows we're not ordinary together."

"The treasure becomes secondary."

Wen Xishu was indeed very good at playing the role of someone everyone found warm and likable.

Just like how he was with Jennifer in the Deceit Tower.

His words made both Yue Yun and Nissen feel very comfortable.

"Yo! This is our unbeatable bond! We are destined to become the best partners! Although there are many hardships ahead, whoever dares to stop us will certainly regret it!"

Nissen continued to play around awkwardly.

But those things that feel awkward in your thirties are the most unique in your school days.

Wen Xishu said:

"Nissen, why don't you start by telling us if you have any clues?"

Nissen nodded:

"It's said the treasure only appears at night. You can't see it during the day."

"At night, special guides will appear. As long as you pay attention, you'll find something like an entrance."

Nissen stopped talking. After a while, Yue Yun continued with a thoughtful pose and said:

"That's it? Just that?"

Nissen shrugged:

"That's already pretty good. It's better than those looking for treasure during the day!"

Yue Yun took a deep breath. With such a small clue in this vast academy, it was almost like having no clue at all.

Yue Yun said:

"In that case, let's get familiar with the academy first. Do you two want to take a walk around the academy together?"

Wen Xishu was definitely interested. His injuries had healed quickly, and walking was no longer a problem.

Three Towers Academy, being an academy, should have some typical features, like the stereotype that an academy must have a library.

Wen Xishu was quite interested in the library.

So, the three of them set off together to tour the academy. Yue Yun, having perfect scores in cultural subjects, used his mind to remember the layout of the academy.

He noted every scene and every detail of the buildings in his mind to compare at night and spot any differences.

Wen Xishu didn't put much effort into these aspects; he wasn't very interested in the treasure.

He had more of a "let's give it a try, but it's no big deal if we don't find it" attitude.

Wen Xishu primarily wanted to familiarize himself with the layout of the academy.

The academy was divided into system areas and campus areas.

The system area specifically belonged to the Slaughter Tower System and the Desire Tower System.

The most unique features of the Desire Tower System Area and the Slaughter Tower System Area were the simulation halls.

In the simulation hall of Slaughter Tower Academy, various monsters were simulated, but rarely "elite monsters" or "bosses." In the simulation hall of the Desire Tower System Area, various social interaction scenarios were simulated.

There were also wooden stakes in Slaughter Tower Academy that provided damage feedback. In the Desire Tower Academy District, there were emotional fluctuation devices used to verify which words could move people the most.

The teachers were mostly in the simulation halls, training and teaching students various knowledge related to their respective towers.

The dormitory area was also within the system area.

The main feature of the system area was that bunker citizens within the system area could use the powers of the Three Towers.

However, everyone adhered to one principle—the independence of each tower's powers.

For example, in the Slaughter Tower System Area, you couldn't use the power of the Desire Tower.

Of course, the power of the Deceit Tower seemed not to be restricted.

Additionally, the power of the Three Towers sequence shouldn't be used against one's own people outside of lessons. If found, it could lead to expulsion.

Besides the system area, the remaining part was the campus area.

The campus area included places such as the "cafeteria," "library," and "lecture hall." Among these buildings, students visited the cafeteria and library the most.

The library rather resembles those magical libraries often found in medieval fantasy novels.

At the top of the library's rooftop, there hangs a huge, clover-like device reminiscent of a fan.

But it is really enormous, and made of brass, though no one knows how it stays suspended.

The academy district can't use the powers of the Three Towers, just like an ordinary academy. So, when faced with this floating clover-shaped device, countless students feel awestruck.

The library itself is also one of the tallest buildings in the Bunker. It can be said that this is like a tower filled with books.

The tower is not fully stocked with books at the moment, but even so, it is the place with the most books in the Bunker.

Students mostly read on the first six floors, especially the sixth floor. The sixth floor is basically filled with books about the Slaughter Tower and the Desire Tower.

Thus, students of the Desire Tower System and students of the Slaughter Tower System may have interactions within the academy district.

Due to this back-and-forth, some students from Desire Tower Academy might be hit on by students from the Slaughter Tower Academy.

Because generally, Desire Tower Academy students come from better backgrounds and are more attractive.

Entering the library and the cafeteria requires a student ID.

Albert has already helped Wen Xishu get one.

The student ID for Desire Tower Academy is white; the student ID for Slaughter Tower Academy is red.

You can tell the student's affiliation at a glance by their student ID.

So when Wen Xishu, Nissen, and Yue Yun came to the library—

Among the few students from Desire Tower Academy in the library, some showed disdain.

This was a second-year senior from the Desire Tower System, named Luo Xian, who was quite good-looking.

In the past year, Luo Xian had slept with many noble boys from the Desire Tower System. She had well realized her potential.

She now lived a high-class life, shopping freely and enjoying various entertainments on the sixth functional level.

When she looked at students from the Slaughter Tower System, she inevitably felt contempt.

Crude Slaughter Tower System.

This is the stereotype that Desire Tower System students have towards the Slaughter Tower System.

In the eyes of Luo Xian and many students from the Desire Tower System, they are the elite, the people who contribute to society with their brains.

While the students from the Slaughter Tower System are just a bunch of brutes, with no brains, only knowing how to use brute force.

These people coming to the library are undoubtedly here to chase after girls.

For example, a girl named Jiang Xue in the corner was being harassed by several new students from the Slaughter Tower Academy.

Luo Xian saw it but ignored it. She didn't like the girl named Jiang Xue.

From her clothes, it was evident she came from the lower class. Although Luo Xian was also from the lower class, she now utterly detested the lower class people and considered herself of a different class.

Additionally, Jiang Xue's beauty made her feel inferior.

There is a saying, "Your myriad interpretations and readings of me do not constitute even one ten-thousandth of me, but they reflect you completely."

In Luo Xian's eyes, girls like Jiang Xue must be flirty to the core, otherwise, why would they enter the Desire Tower Academy?

Seeing Jiang Xue politely and earnestly declining the advances of the new students from the Slaughter Tower Academy and reading seriously, made her feel nauseated.

[Disgusting bitch, pretending to be pure, aren't you just waiting to be slept with by the noble boys?]

When the bullet screen floated by, Wen Xishu noticed this senior named Luo Xian, whose inner disgust for a certain new student had reached the extreme.

At the same time, he followed her gaze and looked at the new student being mocked.

Wen Xishu could imagine the hardships faced by some lower-class women in the Desire Tower.

But he wasn't interested in others' fates.

He was just surprised...

That in such a place as the library, there could be psychic bullet screens?

On the way there, Wen Xishu had been asking some common knowledge questions.

Now he already knew that only in the system area could one use the corresponding tower sequences.

But now it seemed to indicate something—

Strange sequences could be used as long as one entered the range of Three Towers Academy, whether in the system area or the academy district.

Wen Xishu fell into deep thought...

Three Towers Academy uniquely had no Deceit Tower Academy, only Slaughter Tower and Desire Tower.

According to Albert, there was no way to teach how to攻略Deceit Tower, as it was weird and unpredictable, with no rules.

But is that really the case?

The treasure that no one could find, the Deceit Tower sequence covering the academy, the fact that it is called Three Towers Academy but has no Deceit Tower Academy...

Wen Xishu frowned slightly, unable to make sense of it.

But he had a faint feeling that perhaps the so-called treasure was related to the strange occurrences.

He didn't dwell on this matter for long, as he quickly found the book he was looking for.

Wen Xishu, Yue Yun, and Nissen all ignored the disdainful gazes of the Desire Tower students.

The three of them decided to study in the library for a while, then look for the academy treasure at night.

Nissen read a book titled "The Slaughter Tower Academy Freshman Strategy." It was written by the academy teachers.

Yue Yun read a book titled "Summary of Slaughter Tower Sequences."

Wen Xishu found a book titled "Slaughter Tower Monster Manual."

There were things of interest to him in it.
