CHAPTER 289: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 114: SAVIOR GAME_4

"What do you mean by ’those who enjoy happiness will always enjoy happiness’? Didn’t this young master come to the Deceit Tower to prove himself? Haha, I will show you what it means to be excellent; an excellent person is excellent wherever they go."

The man in the double-breasted suit with a slicked-back hairstyle spoke with a confident tone.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ye Lingfeng. I have some wealth and a small business on the sixth level. Though I may not compare to the six major families, financially, I am not falling behind. Moreover, I am the owner of the Ye Group."

Ye Lingfeng almost triggered Wen Xishu’s desire to mock him.

Firstly, it’s hard to have experiences similar to those of the richest in the past in the Bunker; secondly...

Wen Xishu noticed that Ye Lingfeng’s hands were quite rough.

These were not the hands of a wealthy magnate. Though Ye Lingfeng looked handsome, he lacked the aura of someone born to privilege. His display of arrogance seemed overdone.

Besides, the suit he wore looked quite cheap. Wen Xishu didn’t expose him; a man’s identity outside is what he claims it to be.

Ye Lingfeng continued to speak:

"In my sophomore year of high school, I had already achieved financial freedom, building my own business empire with the one million merit points my family gave me. Now, there’s little that brings me joy in life."

"I think it’s time to conquer the Three Towers."

Wen Xishu could not help but applaud.

To be fair, Wen Xishu didn’t dislike either the baby-faced wolf or Ye Lingfeng. After all, teaming up with these people was quite enjoyable.

Living in one’s mental world is also a form of happiness, or rather, a way to find pleasure amidst suffering.

The sixth teammate was a blind man:

"I’m blind and don’t want to live anymore. Just call me Blind."

No further self-introduction.

Wen Xishu had learned something similar when he was cramming the history of the Bunker.

It was said that the repressive life in the Bunker once led to a wave of "self-destruction."

There was once a cult that encouraged all physically disabled people to self-destruct.

The method of destruction was to venture into the Deceit Tower.

Blind wore sunglasses, his face expressionless, exuding a certain aura of despondency.

People like this usually have stories, but Wen Xishu wasn’t interested in others’ stories.

The seventh teammate, also the last, was a frequent guest of the Deceit Tower—a prisoner.

"You can tell my identity from this prison uniform. My name is Tam. For this mission, you’d better not hold me back."

With seven people, plus Wen Xishu, there were exactly eight.

Wen Xishu now felt that this exploration should be quite interesting.

As usual, he asked:

"What are your thoughts on this mission?"

Ye Lingfeng said:

"You can speak freely. If your guesses are correct, you will be rewarded after entering the Deceit Tower."

The baby-faced wolf, still deep and solemn:

"No matter the mission or the changes, they are all within my calculations. But why should I tell you?"

These two jokers must survive, Wen Xishu thought to himself.

Kate said:

"I don’t know, I can’t understand this mission. Are we playing the role of saviors?"

Wen Xishu said:

"This mission forcibly gathers us, who are not on the same level of the Deceit Tower, into the same level and area, indicating that this is a team mission."

"We should be playing as a team, but how to operate specifically, I am not sure. Notably, it mentions assets and quantification..."

"I think we might be able to gain help by trading some of our possessions in this mission."

"However, it seems this task implies that maybe this method is not quite correct? I can’t say for sure."

There were no types that Wen Xishu particularly disliked among this group, so he never thought about killing them.

Despite having the malice of four, Wen Xishu would still share some of his views with them. Since it was a team task, it must be designed to require cooperation to clear it.

"We have eight people in total, has anyone roamed the Desire Tower? Does anyone know if there’s a similar task among the fifteen levels of the Desire Tower?" Wen Xishu asked.

But everyone shook their heads.

Wen Xishu said:

"In that case, let’s enter the Deceit Tower. This task’s description allows for much interpretation, making it hard to be certain. Let’s see what happens in the game."

Tam said:

"Don’t give me orders."

Wen Xishu shrugged:

"How would I dare."

But Zhang Hai was quite polite:

"Everyone, see you in the Deceit Tower."

Everyone activated their loggers. Wen Xishu was also curious about how to choose the so-called savior among these eight people.

The sudden prompt left Wen Xishu a bit puzzled. He almost thought he had traveled to another world.

But soon, he received the third prompt, confirming that he was still in the Three-Tower world.
