Exceeding the Completion Target

Wen Xishu had no intention of adjusting his appearance.

As a thrill-seeker and a bit of a daredevil who enjoyed extreme sports, Wen Xishu had to admit that his current body felt surprisingly suited to him.

He felt incredibly agile and capable while protecting Jennifer.

While it wasn't as exaggerated as his previous life, it was still good. With training, the potential was only higher.

Furthermore, keeping his original face would make it easier to cooperate with people in the Bunker. If he needed to hide his identity, he could always use a mask.

However, Wen Xishu's biggest problem right now was his need for notoriety.

Only by becoming famous enough could he survive.

He had to make sure many people knew what Wen Xishu had done, the contributions Wen Xishu had made, and what Wen Xishu had brought back from the Tower of Deception.

If he achieved a Level Four Completeness, then everyone must recognize it, leaving no room for denial.

In other words, he needed to increase the public opinion cost of killing him.

Wen Xishu didn't dwell on it for too long. After a brief thought, he said:

"Codeword: Wen Xishu. No adjustments needed for the body either."

"No problem, simple and efficient. Next up is your reward for this mission. Yo ho ho, this is quite a substantial reward!"

As the Guide's voice faded, amidst countless floating clocks and doors, a full-length mirror suddenly appeared before Wen Xishu.

Actually, since his transmigration, Wen Xishu hadn't really looked in a mirror. It wasn't until this moment, as he looked at himself in the mirror...

Well, it was alright. He looked passably handsome. Calling himself the Bunker's Wu Yanzu wasn't too much of a stretch.

His hair was getting a bit long, though. He'd have to find a barbershop in the Bunker to get a haircut.

This was naturally not just a mirror for tidying up his appearance. Besides his own reflection, the mirror also displayed some other information.

[Codeword: Wen Xishu.]
[Tower of Slaughter Level: 1. Slaughter Value Cap: 100.]
[Tower of Deception Level: 6. Magic Resistance: 12 points.]
[Tower of Desire Level: 6. Luck Value: 12 points.]
[Three Towers Inventory: Four slots.]
[Sequence Slot Count: 1.]

Since he hadn't entered the Tower of Slaughter, Wen Xishu was still a newcomer there, at Level One.

As for Slaughter Value, Luck Value, and Magic Resistance, they seemed to be the core attributes of the three towers.

Wen Xishu hadn't expected that by merely being invited into the Tower of Desire, he would achieve such a high level there.

"Your growth is terrifying. Honestly, this is the first time a newcomer has reached Level Six during their initial exploration of the Tower of Deception," the Guide said with a sinister grin.

"And your Completeness... is very high."

Wen Xishu's interest was piqued:

"Did I achieve Level Four Completeness?"

The Guide shook its head:

"Level Four? Of course not Level Four."

After a slight pause, it continued:

"A Level Four Completeness is indeed great, but it cannot completely change the fate of the mission objective. It cannot allow them to escape their original shackles of slaughter."

"But you did. You influenced the worlds of the Tower of Slaughter, the Tower of Deception, and the Tower of Desire. Most importantly, you triggered an Area Reset."

"This means that in the Tower of Slaughter and the Tower of Deception, the fate of the area's objectives has been completely broken. They are now free. They have been liberated from the shackles of the uncanny and the shackles of slaughter."

Wen Xishu was a bit confused. He hadn't gone to the Tower of Slaughter, so how could he have influenced its world?

"So, what level of Completeness did I actually achieve?"

The Guide was so excited that its other two heads opened their eyes, and all three heads spoke in unison:

"Tower Ascender, this is not an easy feat."

"No, this is an outstanding achievement!"

"Even if future newcomers challenge this area, any actions they take will not be able to overwrite the changes you've made, and their evaluation coefficients will be greatly reduced."

"Because you achieved Level Six Completeness."

Level Six Completeness.

Wen Xishu was slightly taken aback.

Although a Level Seven Completeness existed, it only appeared in certain specific tiers.

For the Jack's Haunted Tower Area in Moen City, the twenty-first floor of the Tower of Deception, Level Six was the highest possible Completeness.

And from the Guide's words, he was the first person to achieve a Level Six evaluation in that area.

Even if subsequent Tower Ascenders replicated his actions, their evaluations would not reach Level Six due to the reduced coefficients.

This naturally meant he couldn't alter the paths of Jack and Jennifer.

This caught Wen Xishu by surprise; it felt as though he were anchored to a constantly shifting story.

"You did a beautiful job. You'll receive exceptionally generous material rewards."

"Many people will rely on your supplies to survive. Of course, not just supplies, but items and facilities as well."

Wen Xishu, possessing a rather resilient spirit, managed to suppress his inner excitement:

"From what I understand, the materials obtained from a Level 6 completion are enough to allow everyone in a certain tier of the Bunker to survive for a period of time?"

The Guide nodded.

Wen Xishu suddenly recalled something Liu Jinsen had said – the lower residential levels, the most densely populated areas of the entire Bunker, were suffering from an epidemic.

He asked:

"Can I choose to convert survival rations, water, and other supplies into medicine?"

The Guide's three heads all stared at Wen Xishu:

"Unfortunately, you cannot do that. Medicine, food, and daily necessities are allocated randomly."

"And medicine is the rarest. The possibility of obtaining medicine through settlement rewards is also the lowest."

That made sense.

Given that the epidemic in the lower levels remained unresolved, the difficulty of acquiring medicine must be far greater than that of food.

Wen Xishu wasn't disheartened; he continued to listen.

"However, your situation this time is very special. As a Level 6 completion, you can additionally receive a top-tier facility."

"Once the facility is integrated into the Bunker's functional levels, you can choose to consume a portion of your supplies to replace its consumable items," the Guide said with a smile.

Wen Xishu understood this statement:

"So, I get to choose the type of facility myself?"

The Guide replied:

"Yes, but there's a maximum limit on the number of facilities. This time you've chosen this facility, but next time you might have to choose a different one."

"Of course, most of the facilities for Level 6 completion are still empty."

Wen Xishu remembered that Sha Ruijing had said the essence of exploring the Three Towers was to transport the Three Towers...

Now, he truly understood that statement.

If he explored the Three Towers enough times, and achieved Level 6 rewards enough times...

The Bunker would become a doomsday shelter he could DIY.

"If I choose this facility... will it also be marked 'Property of Wen Xishu'?"

The Guide shrugged, all three heads swaying in unison:

"That's right. Everyone who enters this facility will know that it was brought by you, or rather, by a Tower Ascender with the codename Wen Xishu."

"But I must remind you, 'your property' doesn't mean it's exclusively for your use. As far as I know~ humans in the Bunker have their own power structures."

There was no need to spell it out. Wen Xishu understood.

If he brought a facility, even though it would be displayed as his property, it could very likely be requisitioned by the Bunker Security Bureau or the Bunker Administration Bureau.

If he was lucky, these organizations might grant him some Bunker currency and forcibly buy it.

If he was unlucky, they might even exploit his rewards and then make him disappear.

Therefore, he absolutely had to build his reputation.

While he couldn't assume the Bunker Security Bureau and the Administration Bureau were his enemies—

The atrocities committed by the Wen family members and the wickedness of Wen Chaohua were issues Wen Xishu needed to address right now.

"According to a description from a friend of mine, a Level 6 completion facility can bring about changes significant enough to revolutionize human Bunker civilization."

"I'd like to know, does that include hospitals?"

Although a foot massage parlor sounded great, to survive, he had to compromise and choose a hospital first.

The Guide nodded:

"Naturally, there are hospitals among the Level 6 facilities. You can think of them as hospitals that surpass current human technology. The maximum number of Level 6 hospitals you can own is two."

"Currently, there are no hospitals among the Level 6 structures already possessed by humans in the Bunker, so you can choose a hospital."

"Correspondingly, if you are willing to consume fifty percent of your supplies, the hospital will have a certain amount of initial medicine and medical resources."

Wen Xishu frowned:

"Based on your previous description, the Bunker currently has more than one Level 6 structure."

"And to achieve Level 6 completion, one must bring about significant changes in all three towers, breaking their shackles?"

"Are there many people who have achieved such accomplishments in the Bunker?"

The Guide shook his head.

"Not many, but there are indeed some Level 6 facilities. You've misunderstood one thing. Level 6 Completeness doesn't require the Three Towers to bring about massive change, or rather, it doesn't require breaking the shackles of slaughter and deception."

"Even without breaking the shackles, it's possible to achieve Level 6, but if you break the shackles, you'll definitely start at Level 6."

Wen Xishu understood.

What the Guide meant was that what he had accomplished was actually more difficult than the original requirements for Level 6 Completeness.

Perhaps due to level restrictions or other reasons, there was still a gap before reaching Level 7, but it already exceeded the requirements for Level 6.

At the same time, he figured that even exploring just one tower would be enough to achieve Level 6.

The Guide seemed to know what Wen Xishu was thinking and added:

"Moreover, some things that one person cannot accomplish, a group of people can. Human history has also seen golden ages."

"But these matters do not fall within the scope of a Guide's answer. You can find out for yourself in the Bunker."

Wen Xishu asked again:

"Are there Level 7 facilities?"

The Guide replied:

"There are. It's the same as I said, once humans unite, they are very formidable, especially since there are a few terrifying existences in the Bunker."

"Among the known Level 7 facilities in the Bunker, the most famous is the Three Towers Academy."

"After the establishment of the Three Towers Academy, the progress in exploring the Three Towers also increased significantly. Among them, there are also many newcomers with exceptional talent."

"Your initial exploration was very successful, but they are equally formidable. Don't get too cocky."

Wen Xishu had a good grasp of the situation.

It seemed that humanity's research into the Three Towers was much deeper than he had imagined.

People's ingrained perceptions of things are often very superficial, just like how he thought the Tower of Desire was a tower of lust and the Tower of Slaughter was a tower of fighting.

Only after truly engaging with them did he realize that persuading with force was actually very primitive. But it couldn't be helped, as many people did it.

And among the minority, there must be those who had deeply considered and understood the Three Towers.

Perhaps no one could influence all three towers simultaneously like him.

However, humanity as a whole, while exploring the Three Towers concurrently, had also triggered some special rewards during the process.

And even setting aside the collective, there were many powerful individuals.

Furthermore, Wen Xishu hadn't expected the Three Towers Academy to be a Level 7 facility.

The Three Towers Academy encompassed the Tower of Slaughter Academy and the Tower of Desire Academy. It now seemed that this was no ordinary school.

The academy might possess some special functions.

However, the Guide didn't reveal any details about this information, so he would have to wait until he returned to the Bunker to find out.

Wen Xishu became increasingly curious about this world.

"I choose the hospital."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure."

"As you wish, but you will need to make some final arrangements."

Wen Xishu quickly understood the meaning of this statement.

The mirror in front of him no longer reflected his appearance, but rather a three-dimensional map of the Bunker.

Currently, the Bunker has a total of sixteen floors.

Eight functional floors and eight residential floors. The functional floors are even-numbered, and the residential floors are odd-numbered.

The higher one's authority, identity, status, and wealth, the higher the floor they resided on.

Human society in the Bunker presented a starkly direct pyramid structure.

Many Level 5 and Level 4 facilities possessed a certain degree of entertainment value, but these buildings were all located on the higher functional floors.

The functional floors accessible to people on the lower levels were Level 1 to Level 3 facilities. These facilities often only had the most basic functions.

This also led to a significant disparity in their medical and living resources compared to those on the higher levels.

However, the Bunker allowed for upward mobility, and the method was simple – exploring the Three Towers.

Proving oneself in the Three Towers seemed very fair to Wen Xishu.

Although he was a transmigrator, Wen Xishu did not place himself in a God-like position.

He often found himself able to understand the rulers of the Bunker.

However, this time, he still chose to place this Level 6 facility – the hospital – on the second floor, a functional floor serving the people of the lower levels.

After completing all this, the Guide said:

"I'm already starting to look forward to how people will see you when you return to the Bunker."

"Your situation doesn't seem good, but from now on, I expect there will be significant changes."

"After all, every Level 6 facility directly changes the lives of the Bunker's inhabitants."

The black skull chuckled as sinisterly as ever.

However, Wen Xishu wasn't afraid of such a smile; he was also looking forward to seeing what would happen once he returned to the Bunker.

The Guide continued, "Finally, your personal reward, something no one can take from you, is a gift from Deception Jack."

"This is truly a remarkable treasure."

One more update at noon.
