Loving Tower of Desire

Humans entered the Bunker only a few decades ago.

The elders in the Bunker still remembered the world humans once lived in, and they would tell the younger generation about that world with its sky and sea.

But people cannot imagine things they have never seen out of thin air.

Only when they entered the Tower of Desire and looked up would they be able to feel the immensity of the stars and the sea.

But this wasn't why people loved the Tower of Desire.

People loved the Tower of Desire because of the bloody brutality of the Tower of Slaughter and the terrifying strangeness of the Tower of Deception, which made the pursuit of desire in the Tower of Desire... incomparably gentle.

There was no need for fighting and killing here, nor any bizarre rules. As long as these people pursuing desire felt happy, they could obtain certain survival supplies.

Upon entering the Tower of Desire, Wen Xishu saw a special dialogue box.

[Welcome to the 21st Floor of the Tower of Desire, area location: Moen City. The Tower of Desire is a place of love. Please climb this tower with love and responsibility.]

How loving, how warm, the style was completely different from the other two towers.

It was just that Wen Xishu didn't know the complete rules were like this—

[Welcome to the 21st Floor of the Tower of Desire, area location: Moen City. All violent acts are prohibited within the Tower of Desire. The Tower of Desire is a place of love. Please climb this tower with love and responsibility.]

The rule prohibiting all violent acts did not take effect on Wen Xishu; even the prompt was erased.

To be precise, it was erased by the chaotic Madman's Dice. Wen Xishu was unaware of this.

What appeared before his eyes was a bustling city.

Towering skyscrapers, people in stylish clothes on the streets, exquisite cream cakes in the display windows of food shops, and dazzling billboards, along with the scent of women's makeup.

All of this made Wen Xishu feel a sense of familiarity, as if he had returned to the world before his transmigration.

But this world was not entirely real.

For example, the red lines forming the area boundary in the distance, or the so-called "air wall," and the information in Wen Xishu's eyes:

[Jennifer's current happiness level: 0. Mission status: Incomplete.]

[Remaining time: 47 hours 54 minutes 16 seconds.]

This information pulled him out of the haze of returning to his original world and gave him a sense of urgency due to the lack of time.

Normal climbers would have seven days, but Wen Xishu entered the Tower of Desire through an invitation, giving him only two days.

He had to find clues that could unlock the hidden content of the Tower of Deception and make Jennifer happy in a very short time.

There were many ways to make a person happy.

People had decades of experience climbing the Tower of Desire, whether it was earning money in this world to provide material value or emotional value.

In the early years, when the qualifications to enter the Tower of Desire were more relaxed, there were some overly tactless brutes who died in the Tower of Desire.

And a few geniuses who could say things like "Nighye Impact" or "Xuanxuan, I'm going to use my ultimate on you" in abstract ways also died in the Tower of Desire.

Fortunately, such situations were decreasing.

The overall qualifications of people entering the Tower of Desire were getting higher and higher because of the increasing competition.

They learned more and more ways to please people, including but not limited to "How to Quickly Advance a Relationship to the Point of Revealing Vulnerabilities."

Nowadays, the survival rate in the Tower of Desire was almost 100%.

But this was only below the 20th floor. Above the 20th floor, the difficulty would increase dramatically, and the conditions would become more stringent.

However, for the vast majority of people, the exploration of the first twenty floors was enough to cover their entire lives.

Wen Xishu was on the 21st floor, and he could already feel the real difficulty of pleasing Jennifer.

Walking on the road towards the slums, Wen Xishu was thinking about how to proceed.

Making Jennifer happy was easy.

Whether it was coaxing Jennifer or pursuing Yulia, he could complete the mission smoothly.

But in the end, he would only be able to take away the "family of three's" food with the lowest completion rate.

That was not what Wen Xishu wanted.

"The biggest difficulty of this mission is that no matter what, Jennifer's happiness will be reset."

"Because soon, Jennifer will encounter a disaster, and all present happiness will only serve to highlight the future tragedy."

"All of this stems from Jack."

Wen Xishu was no pushover, so he naturally thought of killing Jack in the Tower of Desire.

If there were no Jack, then soon, in that old building, all of Jennifer's attachments could survive.

However, killing Jack might be an even more wrong choice.

Jennifer cherished Jack in her heart, and killing Jack would only make the young girl suffer immensely.

The most crucial point was that Ghoul Jack actually had a very important reason to exist.

Wen Xishu still remembered what Jack said to Jennifer—

"Can you handle the outside world alone? This is just the beginning."

The outside of the old building would be even more dangerous. Jack was just a boss in a certain area on the twenty-first floor.

There were still countless beings of the same level within the Tower of Deception.

"To survive in that world, Jennifer needs a powerful backer."

"And it's worth noting that I saw two Jennifers in the game's prompts."

"Desire Jennifer, Ghoul Jennifer."

"If the two Jennifers are the same person... then why the deliberate distinction?"

"Is it simply because one Jennifer is in the Tower of Deception, and the other is in the Tower of Desire?"

Wen Xishu shook his head slightly.

"How stupid would the designers of the Three Towers Game have to be to come up with such a superfluous setting?"

"Assuming there's another reason—then for Desire Jennifer to become Ghoul Jennifer, it must involve some kind of process."

"Similarly, Jack is the same."

Wen Xishu's intuition told him that the difference in Jennifer's prefix was an extremely crucial clue.

"In the Tower of Desire, Jack thought he would die because he had stomach cancer."

"But in the Tower of Deception, not only is he still alive, but after experiencing a day of despair, he even became Ghoul Jack."

Walking on the street, Wen Xishu suddenly paused for a second. He felt that he was on the verge of finding the key.

"First, he experiences betrayal from colleagues, deception from friends, and disgust from the person he admired, and then he becomes ten times stronger and kills everyone. That's unreasonably satisfying."

"If the world is so idealistic, wouldn't it just become a competition of who has suffered more?"

People rarely pondered why this frenzied world had become this way.

Most people were still adapting and surviving.

Wen Xishu was also adapting, but he felt that the appearance of the Tower of Deception and Jack's transformation needed a reason.

Only by thoroughly investigating this reason could he decide what to do next.

Half an hour later, Wen Xishu arrived at the slums.

Living in Chongqing, Wen Xishu always felt that the world on the internet was like a peacock displaying its feathers.

Behind the beautiful plumage was a completely different scene.

It was like a subway train passing through buildings, with modern attractions where influencers vied for photos on the left, and a dilapidated, seemingly 20th-century hazardous building on the right.

You could certainly say it had the atmosphere of old Chongqing, that it was nostalgic.

But that was always from a condescending perspective. When that old atmosphere enveloped you, you'd only want to escape.

Moen City was the same; its bustling CBD area captivated people, but it also had impoverished areas.

Wen Xishu was at the entrance of that old building.

In the world of the Tower of Desire, this building had no strange features. It looked like a huge, dusty, decaying tomb.

At this moment, Jack had just returned to his room, preparing to write something expressing his desire to be a good person in the final moments of his life.

By observing the medical record slip in Jack's hand, Wen Xishu deduced the timeline:

"Next, Jack will go to apologize to Remian, but he will soon discover that Remian hasn't changed his ways."

"Then, he will experience the harsh truth from his good friend Anderson."

"Finally, he will beg Yulia to let Jennifer watch his performance, but he will fail.

"Is it the special effect of the invitation letter? This is truly a... turning point that can change everything."
