"We still need to observe carefully. By the end of the day, letâs see whatâs on the mural."
"Actually, looking at it now, thirty jars... perhaps we can still handle it. After all, the worst-case scenario is losing thirty people..."
"But from what I know about the Deceit Towerâs mechanisms, it will definitely get harder day by day."
Wen Xishu still felt a chill down his spine.
So he guessed that there might be more than thirty jars tomorrow.
Within seven days, either the shoe woman returns to the world, or she is completely eliminated.
Ling Fu nodded, his smile reappeared. After changing the topic, he could maintain a smile again.
"Lord Wen Xishu, do you think... gods really exist in this world?"
"What was the role of the shoe woman before she was sealed in the jar?"
"Did she get those shoes after the apocalypse, or did she have such a powerful artifact even before the apocalypse?"
Ling Fuâs words made Wen Xishu involuntarily look at him.
So this kid also started to think from the bigger picture, just like me?
Although we always talked about the Three Towers game... Wenren Mirror, myself, and the old principal all knew that the Three Towers is more than just a game.
The truth of the apocalypse is hidden within the Three Towers.
Asking this question indicated that Ling Fu also had his own thoughts about the apocalypse.
Wen Xishu shook his head and said:
"I donât know the answer to this question, but the gods I know... are probably of a higher level than the shoe woman."
"The shoe womanâs shoes might be just a product of one of the True Godâs experiments."
Ling Fu asked again:
"The True God youâre talking about... how many are there?"
Wen Xishu was now convinced that Ling Fu had probably attracted the attention of some constellation during a Deceit Tower mission.
But Wen Xishu didnât want to talk too deeply with Ling Fu, as their relationship wasnât that close, and it wouldnât help with this tower climb.
Wen Xishu said:
"Do you have any new clues about opening the jars?"
Ling Fu knew that the other party would likely change the topic, so he said:
"Not at the moment. This game currently seems like a game of luck. As members of the human faction, the first strategic point is managementâhow to arrange and manage so many people."
"Secondly, we need to know how to deal with the items that come out of the jars and how to handle the evil things that emerge. But as for what might come out... I donât think weâll be given that information even on the last day."
"Because if we can control the outcomes, the game loses its meaning."
"So in a way, I think this game might be the hardest or the simplest game youâve experienced."
Wen Xishu nodded.
Indeed, if luck dominated, the difficulty essentially didnât exist.
It all depends on fate.
But thereâs one thing, Wen Xishuâs relentless tower climbing and the accumulation of experience made him different from others.
He relied very little on luck, primarily becauseâhe could know the complete description of each item.
Secondly, he could cheat and overturn multiple effects. And then... he could see the names of the opposing factions, which others couldnât.
With the past accumulation, in a way, Wen Xishu could actually handle things calmly.
In Wen Xishuâs view, this level was not as difficult as Rokkasho.
Of course, he wouldnât boast by saying, "I have so many trump cards, itâs scary."
On the other side of the dining table.
Ah Miao and Zheng Zai sat together. Ever since Ah Miao went to the Level Six Hospital and fully recovered... her entire demeanor had greatly transformed.
Not only was her illness cured, but her vigor, spirit, and belief had also vastly improved...
With more exercise, todayâs Ah Miao looked much younger.
Compared to when she first met Wen Xishu, she was like a different person.
Describing Ah Miao as heroic would not be an exaggeration at this moment.
Ah Miaoâs good luck and personal charm attracted many people who tried to get close to her.
These people all came from Fang Tianhenâs former faction, now under Ling Fuâs command.
They were all muscle-bound men.
But Ah Miao didnât care for them, and she started a conversation with Zheng Zai:
"Why are you eating so little for such a big guy?"
Zheng Zaiâs food was almost untouched.
Ah Miao was puzzled. The three students next to them had an enormous appetite. They had only briefly fought with Fang Tianhen. But Zheng Zai, the main force that defeated Fang Tianhenâ
How come Zheng Zai wasnât hungry?
Zheng Zai had trouble articulating. He had already eaten.
Looking at the food, Zheng Zai had no appetite; he even burped.
Ah Miao was confused:
"How come you have such a small appetite for a big man?"
Zheng Zai scratched his head in embarrassment:
"I... I really donât eat much. Oh no, what I mean is, Iâm really not hungry. I can usually eat once and not feel hungry for a long time."
Ah Miao was stunned:
"Do you think youâre a python? Oh right, how did you deal with those two corpses?"
"I just looked around and saw bloodstains on the ground, but no bodies. Youâre quite efficient."
Zheng Zai looked at Ah Miao seriously:
"No... Sis, youâve been talking to me all this time. Arenât you afraid of me?"
Zheng Zaiâs appearance did seem intimidating.
But Ah Miao said:
"Anyone who can get close to Ah Shu canât be a bad person."
Zheng Zai nodded in agreement but still had no interest in touching the food. And he chose not to answer Ah Miaoâs question.
Actually, if someone else asked, Zheng Zai wouldnât mind saying directly, I ate them.
