The bunker’s game industry is quite lacking. Of course, what could be more thrilling than the Three Towers game? The Three Towers Academy itself also has a simulation hall. In fact, in a sense, this world doesn’t really need a game industry. It’s just that this also leads to a lot of things that only Wen Xishu recognizes, while others don’t. However, even Wen Xishu was seeing this kind of controller for the first time. This controller had four joysticks, and the buttons were even more numerous, with six buttons per row, a total of four rows densely packed onto the controller. This was obviously meant for operating extremely complex items. Zheng Zai shook his head: "I don’t know, but how is it supposed to kill the enemy?" Wen Xishu said: "You’ll know once we enter the TV world. What I’m concerned with now are two things." "First, something unrelated to our adventure this time. Aspasia and Wang Ying are both mercenaries. And Zheng Zai, you’re not an ordinary person either... your physical capabilities are also very strong." "As for me, I have some confidence in my own skills. But Tong Ming, he surprised me, he might be the best fighter among us apart from you. This disparity makes me pay attention." "I’m thinking, could the challenge mechanism of Deceit Tower... also be selected based on the challenger’s own quality?" "Five people, all possessing combat abilities beyond ordinary, is it a coincidence?" "If we are very outstanding in some aspects, intentionally cultivating that aspect, could it be that future levels will also have a possibility of using that aspect?" Zheng Zai still shook his head: "This... if we really wanted to count, it would require a large amount of data, but what you said makes some sense. However, for me, it’s too far-fetched. Younger Brother Wen, you’ve already started considering such macro things?" Wen Xishu said: "Just killing time, after all, when there’s no information, why not let the brain process other problems. The second thing I care about, we can verify it very quickly." Zheng Zai asked: "What is it?" Wen Xishu said: "After Tong Ming’s death, will we be challenging Lv2 or Lv3. This is important, think about it." Zheng Zai pondered for a moment: "If it’s Lv3... does that mean Lv2 has already passed? We just need to keep challenging, whether we live or die doesn’t matter, we just need to successfully identify twelve items... and we don’t need to successfully use twelve items." "Even if... even if we die, it can help save two challenges for other teammates?" Wen Xishu corrected him: "It’s if other teammates die, it can help us save two challenges." Zheng Zai didn’t speak. Wen Xishu said: "Remember, the key to survival in Deceit Tower, the first core, is to ensure your own survival." "If we need to rechallenge Lv2, it means we must successfully identify twelve items, and successfully use twelve items." "If we don’t need to rechallenge Lv2... Zheng Zai, you’ll have to pay attention to some areas." Zheng Zai said: "What should I be cautious about?" Wen Xishu slowly gathered the smile on his face: "What I can think of, they can also think of. If the rule is the latter, we don’t need to rechallenge Lv2, then it means for the last two levels, two people enter Lv11 and Lv12, even if these two people die in the levels, it doesn’t matter." "In other words, the last and the most difficult two levels, they can avoid fighting, letting us fight. They only need to fight up to Lv10. In any case, in the upcoming process, I hope you carefully observe their choices..." "Remember, in Deceit Tower, if someone is good to you, you don’t necessarily have to reciprocate. But if someone takes advantage of you, you absolutely must not forgive them, sometimes, tolerance can be fatal." Zheng Zai was silent for a full ten seconds before nodding: "I understand your meaning. These last two levels are the hardest, with the lowest survival chances. If they let us fight the last two levels—" Before Zheng Zai finished, Wen Xishu said: "We can also fight, the capable do more work, but the premise silently assumed by this saying is—more work, more returns." "If they contribute enough, we can bear the risk. But if they only want to take advantage... you get what I mean, right?" Zheng Zai completely understood: "Okay, no matter what happens then, I’ll firmly stand by your side." "Younger Brother Wen, I trust your judgment. No matter how you treat others, you have been greatly kind to me. Others might criticize some of your behaviors, but I won’t, and you always have your reasons for what you do!" Wen Xishu was very satisfied with this outcome: "Good, next, we’ll start testing this thing." Wen Xishu said. Zheng Zai was surprised: "Are you serious? What did you see in the description of this thing?" "Control, skill, attachment. Six characters in total, but I think these six characters say a lot." Wen Xishu thought for a moment, then added: "If I tricked you, causing you to fall into danger, would you resent me?" Zheng Zai shook his head: "Depends if it’s intentional or not... but I don’t think you’d harm me." Wen Xishu smiled: "Actually, I’m a very selfish person, the me you know is not the real me. But I can guarantee one thing, at least this time, I will be in the same predicament as you." Zheng Zai quite understood. The five people in this mission were actually all gambling. Gambling that this item is useful. Some gambled with basic judgment about the item, some gambled with the information given by the Anti-Magic Value, and some gambled with experience. Zheng Zai said: "Younger Brother Wen, if I get tricked, I’ll accept it. Since I decided to trust you, I’ll be responsible for my own actions." Wen Xishu was very satisfied with this answer:
