Heads can roll, blood can spill, but dignity must not fall. When Wen Xishu spoke these words, Jack, Jennifer, the An Family Brothers, and Tang Rui all fell silent. They truly couldn’t have imagined that Wen Xishu existed at this level. Could he really hold his own against those guys? Had he even managed to claim spoils from them? The chat channel fell silent for a while. Wen Xishu was very clear that boasting must have a purpose, it couldn’t just be for show, couldn’t just be for pleasure. All boasting is to increase one’s personal value. Wen Xishu said: "Actually, I’ve contacted you all because my situation isn’t great either. I’m in a similar position to Gemini. I’m also in a weakened state." "This time is just a trial. Next time, I might not be able to contact any of you. When we reestablish contact again, who knows how long it will be." At this moment, Tang Rui, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: "What do you need me to do?" Everyone immediately read the message. "Oh, Tang, you finally spoke! Are you a brother or a sister? You’re not a kid like me, are you?" said Jennifer. "Who is this big shot?" An Jincheng asked cautiously. Tang Rui didn’t say anything. She was waiting for Wen Xishu to reply. In that instant, Wen Xishu seemed to understand something. When he was showing off earlier, making Jack and the others think he was strong, Tang Rui had remained silent. But when he expressed that he was weak and needed help, Tang Rui spoke up. Directly asking what he needed her to do. Wen Xishu understood. That rainy night, Tang Rui seemed carefree because she had been drinking, and after sharing memories, under his words, her emotions surged. She acted on impulse. She indeed did something crazy, breaking through many mental hurdles. But past experiences still left her sensitive, suspicious, and insecure. Such a person often doesn’t appear when you are at your brightest, afraid to trouble you. But when you are at your lowest, she dares to approach, quietly offering her strength. "I might face certain dangers and might need everyone’s help." "Alright, I will help you." Just as Wen Xishu sent his message, Tang Rui agreed, responding instantly. "You’ve been to the Birdcage before, do you remember? You’re the only one who survived the challenge. I left a letter there." Wen Xishu of course remembered. "I remember." Tang Rui’s letter, carrying this item into the Slaughter Tower, would increase the chance of appearing near Tang Rui. But the letter actually had another function. Tang Rui quickly replied: "Wen Xishu, bring it with you, I will come to find you, no matter when or where." The words were brief but carried a lot of weight. Wen Xishu felt that, no matter if he was on the other side of the world, Tang Rui would unhesitatingly set off to find him. It made Wen Xishu feel a bit uneasy. The An Family Brothers, Jack, and Jennifer all sensed that this "Tang" seemed to have deep feelings for Wen Xishu. Wen Xishu’s help to Tang Rui was likely profound. At the same time, they realized something. Tang seemed to be the strongest person among them, apart from Wen Xishu. The basis for their judgment was— Tang could pinpoint Wen Xishu’s location through a letter, [Recruitment task for Tang Rui has been initiated, check the guide for specific details] The prompt suddenly appeared, leaving Wen Xishu somewhat puzzled. The recruitment task had started just like that? Unlike the others, recruiting Tang Rui was practically completed for Wen Xishu, only missing the final step. The An Family Brothers, Jack, and Jennifer still had reservations. More steps would likely be needed to initiate their recruitment tasks. Wen Xishu just hoped the task wouldn’t be too difficult. "If you need help within our capabilities, we will definitely assist you," Jack said. "Yes, Jincheng and I too," said An Youxuan. It was still different from Tang Rui. They added "within our capabilities," to avoid making an absolute promise. It was clearly not the same as Tang Rui’s unequivocal commitment. The goodwill was still a bit lacking, Wen Xishu thought. "Alright, I need to rest for a bit. You can continue chatting. I’ll keep this information channel open for a while." "Tang Rui, thank you. When I need your help, I won’t hesitate to ask." Wen Xishu temporarily stopped chatting. Continuing the conversation would not lead to any immediate support. Currently, there seemed to be no means to meet these leader-level figures. But fortunately, the Scorpio weapon could still be upgraded. "I need to find a way to further develop this weapon, find its upgrade paths." ... ... Time ticked by, and unknowingly, Wen Xishu had sat by the campfire for four hours. Wen Xishu felt somewhat regretful, limited by his level, the smooth effect had disappeared. In such a high-level place, he had only managed to complete one kill. Everyone was chatting. Yue Yun and Xiaojin were talking about various academy stories. In Wen Xishu’s chat channel, the An Family Brothers also started making diplomatic conversations with Jack and Jennifer, chatting sporadically. For them, the chat channel was still novel. These creatures with the name of Slaughter, due to various deformities and evolutions, some could no longer speak human language, so they rarely communicated.
