"Alright, I’m going to start the identification now. Do you want to join me?" Zheng Zai nodded: "Let’s do it! I trust you!" The identification prompt appeared in everyone’s mind. The third item to be identified emerged. This caused Wang Ying and Aspasia from the neighboring 4-7 room to immediately come to Wen Xishu’s room. "What’s the situation? Are they actually using this as a weapon?" Wang Ying said. [The item has entered the compulsory display function stage.] Looking at the never-before-seen item in Wen Xishu’s hand, Wang Ying felt that Wen Xishu had gone a bit mad. Aspasia noticed Zheng Zai’s body making many strange movements. [Would you like to accept becoming the character linked to the handle?] This prompt appeared in Zheng Zai’s mind after the item was displayed. Zheng Zai didn’t speak but decisively chose yes. Immediately, he felt that his body no longer belonged to him. He started making strange movements, causing Aspasia to think he was possessed. "Hold on for a bit, Old Zheng." Wen Xishu changed the way he addressed Zheng Zai, so naturally he didn’t even notice it himself. "Very good, very good. The handle has many buttons, it’s a bit tricky to adapt to, but I should be familiar with it by now." Wen Xishu said with a smile. Zheng Zai’s strange arm-raising and leg-moving actions suddenly ceased. Wen Xishu said: "Well then, shall we go out?" When Wen Xishu pressed a round button, Zheng Zai realized he could move freely again. "It’s... is it over? Shouldn’t you familiarize yourself a bit more?" Zheng Zai still felt shaky. Trusting Wen Xishu was one thing, but fear was another. The scene of Tong Ming being bitten to death was still vivid. Wen Xishu didn’t avoid Wang Ying and Aspasia: "The remaining items here either have no combat use or are very complicated to use." "This thing is very good, sufficiently complex, but I’ve already mastered it, don’t worry." Zheng Zai stopped hesitating, hardened his heart, and was the first to step out the door. Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai disappeared together. ... ... [You are now familiar enough with the items, so you’ve stepped out of the ward. You are now entering the item usage stage.] [Current challenge level, Lv3.] The scene where Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai appeared was a concert stage. The audience seats were filled with monsters, which didn’t surprise Wen Xishu, but he didn’t expect that there would be a monster on stage too, holding an electric guitar. It had a typical skull face but with long, wavy hair. It was wearing a giant denim jacket, its thick bones covered with various heavy metal styled tattoos. The skull even had a cigarette in its mouth. All the audience members were Level 3 standard monsters. "As expected, Lv3. This means that as long as we complete the identification, it doesn’t matter if we don’t survive the usage stage. Regardless of life or death, the next person to identify the item faces the Lv4 challenge." "So as long as there’s someone alive in the team, the game assumes we’ve identified an item... even if the item usage process isn’t smooth." Wen Xishu analyzed with great interest. In this concert hall that could accommodate 12,000 people, it was packed with monsters, making Zheng Zai frightened. "Don’t be scared, Old Zheng, next, I will control you to deal with these monsters." "Look, the progress bar in our eyes is still at one hundred. One hundred standard monsters, it’s no problem for you." Zheng Zai really wanted to thank Younger Brother Wen for having such confidence in him, but he genuinely had no confidence himself. Because Level 3 standard monsters, apart from being almost as fast as a human at full sprint, their strength and vitality had greatly increased. Some even showed slight physical distortions, possessing additional abilities. Outside the TV world, in the inpatient building, Wang Ying gasped when he saw the scene in the venue. The skull-man in the center of the stage, smoking, had mutated to the level of an elite monster. No matter what level of elite monster it was, it could easily kill Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai. Without the Slaughter Sequence or Slaughter Tower attribute enhancement, even a natural genius with Divine Power would be dead in minutes. "Now... now only the two of us are left," Wang Ying said. Aspasia said: "That skull face might not make a move, right?" Wang Ying said: "It’s hard to say, let’s hope so. If it makes a move, I can’t imagine, Lv3 is already like this, what will the difficulty be like at Lv4?" What will the final Lv12 be like? Wang Ying felt a surge of fear. The Deceit Tower had only reached the eighth floor, why was it so difficult? Inside the TV world. Wen Xishu said: "Monsters need to listen to concerts too, it’s so interesting. Old Zheng, are you ready?" "No... how is it possible to be ready... but, I forgot before, I forgot in the middle, in short, I’m counting on you!" Despite his fear, Zheng Zai quickly managed to muster up his courage and fighting spirit. Faced with this scene, of course, he was scared. But now, he could only count on Wen Xishu. The monsters started to move. At the center of the stage, the elite monster with the skull face was playing a song that wasn’t very heavy metal, just highly rhythmic. The standard monsters, led by the song, started to run toward Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai. At this moment, Wen Xishu took a deep breath and picked up the handle: "One life to clear, let’s go!" Zheng Zai’s body began to twist. The reason Wen Xishu had such confidence was because in his field of vision, he could see many moves displayed on a list.
