The Bosses of the Tower of Slaughter

Nissen jumped up excitedly:

"Bro, I can tell you guys aren't simple at all. This treasure is definitely extraordinary too. As long as the three of us work together, we can definitely overcome any difficulties!"

Wen Xishu gradually got used to Nissen's habit of forcing rhymes into his speech.

Yue Yun said:

"If there's only one treasure, and all three of us get it, how will we divide it?"

That was a very good question, and Nissen fell silent.

Wen Xishu felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

A person's life is a lifelong process of constant compromise and self-compression.

Wen Xishu had seen too many cases of people who, as children, harbored grand dreams but, along the way, were constantly reined in, ultimately just wanting to live as ordinary people.

Having lived two lives, he naturally wasn't interested in certain ephemeral things anymore.

Especially the kind of scenario where everyone else fails to find something, but he succeeds – he didn't think that would ever happen to him.

However, looking at Yue Yun, it seemed he had already convinced himself that the academy's treasure was destined for him.

This actually gave Wen Xishu a genuine feeling of returning to his student days.

Of course, as a transmigrator, it would be a lie to say Wen Xishu had no expectations for his own life.

"Let's see who it suits. Although it's a treasure, it might not necessarily align with one's attributes. We'll see when the time comes, whoever the treasure suits best, we'll give it to them."

"It's fate that we're walking together. If we can find something that none of our seniors have been able to find, it shows that the three of us together are extraordinary."

"The treasure itself is secondary."

Wen Xishu was indeed very good at playing the role of someone everyone found warm and likable.

Just like when he faced Jennifer in the Tower of Deception.

His words made both Yue Yun and Nissen, two young lads, feel very comfortable.

"Yo! This is our invincible bond! We're destined to become the best partners! Even though there are many hardships ahead, whoever dares to block our path will surely pay the price!"

Nissen continued with his awkward pronouncements.

But the things that adults in their thirties find embarrassing were precisely the most unique things during their student days.

Wen Xishu said:

"Nissen, why don't you tell us first if you have any clues?"

Nissen nodded:

"It's said that this treasure only appears at night. It's invisible during the day."

"At night, there will be special guidance. As long as you pay attention, you'll find something like an entrance."

Nissen stopped talking. After a while, Yue Yun, with his signature Show-off King contemplative pose, said:

"That's it? Just that?"

Nissen shrugged:

"This is already pretty good. It's much better than those who search for the treasure during the day!"

Yue Yun took a deep breath. With such a vast academy, this meager clue was practically no clue at all.

Yue Yun said:

"If that's the case, let's get familiar with the academy first. You two, are you interested in exploring the academy together?"

Wen Xishu was certainly interested. His injuries were recovering quickly, and he could move around without any problems now.

The Three Towers Academy, being an academy, should have some things that belong to an academy, like the libraries that people stereotypically expect every academy to have.

Wen Xishu was quite eager to visit the library.

So the three of them set off together to tour the academy. Yue Yun, with his perfect score in cultural subjects, used his mind to record the appearance of the academy.

He committed every scene and every architectural detail to memory. This would help him identify any differences at night.

Wen Xishu, on the other hand, didn't put much effort into these things. He wasn't very interested in the treasure.

He was more in the mindset of, "It wouldn't hurt to try, but it's okay if I don't find it."

Wen Xishu was mainly focused on familiarizing himself with the academy's layout.

The academy was divided into departmental zones and campus zones.

The departmental zones were areas exclusively for the Tower of Slaughter and Tower of Desire departments.

The most unique feature of the Tower of Slaughter and Tower of Desire departmental zones was their simulation halls.

The simulation halls in the Tower of Slaughter Academy would simulate various monsters, but rarely "elite monsters" or "bosses." In contrast, the simulation halls in the Tower of Desire departmental zone would simulate various social interaction scenarios.

The Tower of Slaughter Academy also had training dummies that provided damage feedback. The Tower of Desire Academy departmental zone had emotional response meters, used to verify which words were most persuasive.

The teachers were mostly in the simulation halls, training and honing students, and explaining knowledge related to their respective tower disciplines.

The dormitory areas were also located within the departmental zones.

The biggest characteristic of a department zone is that the Bunker citizens within it can use the powers of the Three Towers.

However, this follows a single principle—the independence of Three Towers abilities.

For example, in a department zone of the Slaughter Tower system, one cannot use the powers of the Desire Tower.

Of course, the powers of the Deception Tower do not seem to be restricted.

Furthermore, the powers of the Three Towers sequences cannot be used on one's own people outside of class periods. If discovered, one could be expelled.

Aside from department zones, the rest are campus zones.

Campus zones include places like the "cafeteria," "library," and "lecture halls." Among these buildings, students frequent the cafeteria and the library the most.

The library, in particular, has a feel reminiscent of the magical libraries found in medieval fantasy novels.

At the very top of the library's rooftop, a giant, clover-like device resembling a fan hangs suspended.

It is truly enormous and made of brass, yet no one knows how it floats.

Campus zones cannot use the powers of the Three Towers, much like an ordinary academy. Thus, faced with this floating, clover-shaped device, countless students were awestruck.

The library itself is one of the tallest buildings in the Bunker. It can be said to be a tower filled with books.

Currently, the Bunker's books have not filled this tower, but even so, it is arguably the place with the most books in the Bunker.

Students mostly read on the first six floors, especially the sixth floor. The sixth floor is basically entirely dedicated to books on the Slaughter Tower and the Desire Tower.

Therefore, students from the Desire Tower department and the Slaughter Tower department might cross paths in the campus zone.

With these frequent interactions, some students from the Desire Tower Academy end up being approached by students from the Slaughter Tower Academy.

This is because students from the Desire Tower Academy generally come from better families and are more attractive.

Entry into the library and cafeteria requires a student ID.

Albert had already helped Wen Xishu get this sorted.

The student IDs for the Desire Tower Academy have white backgrounds, while those for the Slaughter Tower Academy have red backgrounds.

Through the student IDs, one can tell a student's affiliation at a glance.

So, when Wen Xishu, Nissen, and Yue Yun arrived at the library—

Among the few students from the Desire Tower Academy in the library, someone revealed a look of disdain.

It was a second-year senior from the Desire Tower department named Luo Xian, who was quite attractive.

Over the past year, Luo Xian had also slept with quite a few young masters from the Desire Tower department, effectively living up to her potential.

She had also begun to live a high-class life, shopping freely and enjoying various forms of entertainment on the sixth functional floor.

When she looked at students from the Slaughter Tower department, she couldn't help but feel disdain for them.

The vulgar Slaughter Tower department.

This was the stereotype that students from the Desire Tower department held for the Slaughter Tower department.

In the eyes of Luo Xian and many other students from the Desire Tower department, they were elites, people who contributed to society with their brains.

As for those from the Slaughter Tower department, they were just a bunch of brutes with no brains, only relying on brute force.

The reason these people came to the library was nothing more than to pick up girls.

For instance, the girl in the corner named Jiang Xue was being harassed by quite a few freshmen from the Slaughter Tower Academy.

Luo Xian saw this but didn't react. She disliked the girl named Jiang Xue.

Judging by her attire, she clearly came from the lower class. Although Luo Xian herself had once been from the lower class, she now intensely disliked people from the lower class and considered herself to be of a different class.

Furthermore, Jiang Xue's beauty made her feel inferior.

There's a saying: "Your myriad annotations and interpretations of me do not constitute even a fraction of a percent of who I am, yet they reveal you completely."

In Luo Xian's eyes, a girl like Jiang Xue must be incredibly promiscuous, otherwise, why would she enter the Desire Tower Academy?

Seeing Jiang Xue politely decline the freshmen from the Slaughter Tower Academy and read earnestly, Luo Xian felt disgusted.

[Disgusting slut, pretending to be pure, isn't she just waiting to be slept with by the young masters from the higher levels?]

When the bullet comment floated by, Wen Xishu finally noticed this senior, Luo Xian. Her inner aversion towards a certain freshman reached an extreme.

At the same time, he followed her gaze and glanced at the freshman being criticized by the female student.

Wen Xishu could imagine the difficulties faced by some women from the lower class in the Desire Tower.

But he wasn't interested in the fates of others.

He was just surprised...

How could he see mental bullet comments in a campus zone like the library?

On the way here, Wen Xishu had been asking about common knowledge.

He now knew that only in department zones could one use the sequences of the corresponding Tower department.

But now, something seemed to be indicated—

The Eerie Sequence could be used as long as one entered the Three Towers Academy grounds, whether it was a department zone or a campus zone.

Wen Xishu fell into thought…

The Three Towers Academy uniquely lacked a Tower of Deception Academy; both the Tower of Slaughter and the Tower of Desire had one.

According to Albert, teaching how to navigate the Tower of Deception was impossible, as the eerie was unpredictable and followed no laws.

But was that truly the case?

The treasure everyone couldn't find, the Eerie Sequence that covered the academy, the fact that it was called the Three Towers Academy yet had no Tower of Deception Academy…

Wen Xishu frowned slightly, unable to figure it out.

However, he vaguely sensed that perhaps the so-called treasure was related to the eerie.

He didn't ponder this matter for too long, as he soon found the book he was looking for.

Wen Xishu, Yue Yun, and Nissen – the three of them didn't care about the contemptuous gazes of the Tower of Desire students.

All three decided to spend some time studying in the library first, and then search for the academy's treasure that night.

The book Nissen was reading was the "Tower of Slaughter Academy Freshman Guide," written by one of the academy's teachers.

Yue Yun was reading the "Tower of Slaughter Sequence Compendium."

Wen Xishu, on the other hand, found a "Tower of Slaughter Monster Compendium."

Inside, there was something that interested him.
