"Alright, Iâm going to start the identification now. Do you want to join me?"
Zheng Zai nodded:
"Letâs do it! I trust you!"
The identification prompt appeared in everyoneâs 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 Xishuâs room.
"Whatâs 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 Xishuâs hand, Wang Ying felt that Wen Xishu had gone a bit mad.
Aspasia noticed Zheng Zaiâs body making many strange movements.
[Would you like to accept becoming the character linked to the handle?]
This prompt appeared in Zheng Zaiâs mind after the item was displayed. Zheng Zai didnât 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 didnât even notice it himself.
"Very good, very good. The handle has many buttons, itâs a bit tricky to adapt to, but I should be familiar with it by now." Wen Xishu said with a smile.
Zheng Zaiâs 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.
"Itâs... is it over? Shouldnât 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 didnât 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 Iâve already mastered it, donât 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 youâve 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 didnât surprise Wen Xishu, but he didnât 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 doesnât matter if we donât survive the usage stage. Regardless of life or death, the next person to identify the item faces the Lv4 challenge."
"So as long as thereâs someone alive in the team, the game assumes weâve identified an item... even if the item usage process isnât 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.
"Donât 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, itâs 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:
"Itâs hard to say, letâs hope so. If it makes a move, I canât 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, itâs 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, Iâm 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 wasnât 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, letâs go!"
Zheng Zaiâs 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.
