When the mission notification appeared, Wen Xishu knew his journey was over.
This journey had been long. Although only three days had passed, he had needed to stay up through the night several times, leaving him more exhausted than ever.
When the scenery around him finally began to crumble, and the familiar white light began dismantling and reconstructing it...
Only then did Wen Xishu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Not bad. With Minimalism at work, I survived... In theory, I should get a first-climb bonus on my rewards this time, right?"
Although this should have been cause for celebration, Wen Xishu still wasn't all that happy...
Because, in a sense, being forced to resort to slaughter left him feeling that something of the soul was missing.
The Demon-Cleansing Monks had indeed come into existence.
But perhaps the true Demon-Cleansing Monk faction should originally have included seven more people.
That really bothered Wen Xishu.
When he reappeared in the room filled with doors and clocks, something was different: the Black Deception Head among the Three Towers Guide stretched out its neck.
Its neck was frighteningly long, like chewing gum stretched out after being chewed soft.
A head hung from that several-meter-long neck, winding around several doors to come right up beside Wen Xishu.
"Dululululu, Wen Xishu, you're back again. Oh, you're back again~ Truly remarkable. I don't know how you did it... but you really were extraordinary this time. Dululululu..."
The Black Deception Head's laughter was always bizarre.
Wen Xishu ignored them for the moment, and a mirror appeared before him.
He had summoned the mirror for checking his attributes. His panel now looked like this.
