Normally, Three Towers Academy doesn't open its doors to outsiders because this is a special area where sequences and items can be used.
However, today, to facilitate trading, the Three Towers Academy is overflowing with people.
If it weren't for the restriction that only those with sequences could enter, the crowd density at this market might rival that of trains in India.
Even with the restriction that only those with sequences could enter, and even with the division into three areas—Weird Sequence, Killing Sequence, and Desire Sequence...
Each area was still very crowded, even the Weird Sequence area where Wen Xishu was browsing.
The abilities of the Weird Sequence are usually quite bizarre, and Wen Xishu didn't expect that less than a month after the Deceit Tower's incentive policy was opened up, so many people would be setting up stalls.
At the first stall he browsed, he even saw a familiar face.
"Boss, how much for this? Exchange with rit points? Or barter?"
It was a girl's voice and it made Wen Xishu slightly surprised.
He turned around and saw it was a familiar face, Jiang Xue.
"Can I use the Desire Sequence to trade with you? Desire Sequence 244: Abstinence."
"What kind of junk is this, no trade, no trade—I can't even enter the Desire Tower, what do I need a Desire Sequence for? You folks from the Desire Tower, stop showing off your superiority here." The stall owner cursed directly.
Wen Xishu found it amusing and stood by to watch for a while.
Actually, there are many contradictions in this world.
If a part of the world doesn't need to struggle to get pretty good rewards, then if you're not part of that group, you might dislike them.
Jiang Xue knew that the other party had misunderstood her:
"Sorry, I just transferred to the Deceit Tower, I'm really sorry, I don't have any other sequences. Can you accept rit points?"
"I just heard you explaining the effect of this sequence to soone earlier, and I found it very interesting. Please think about it, I really need it."
The stall owner was selling a Weird Sequence, numbered 306, which was relatively far down the list.
But for Jiang Xue, any tradeable sequence with sowhat useful abilities was very attractive.
A short while ago, Jiang Xue had beco one of the rare cases of soone transferring from Desire Tower Academy to Deceit Tower Academy.
This also made many people reevaluate the girl.
Jiang Xue had originally thought she could grit her teeth and use her humiliation to pave the way to rise through Desire Tower Academy.
But she later discovered two things, the first being—
The rich kids know your ntality. Don't think that just because you're willing to get dirty and fall, you can beco stronger. In reality, those who can provide you with such opportunities often know how to leverage this ntality and take advantage of you.
People, however, usually only rember those who were lucky enough to succeed.
She witnessed too many boys and girls trading their bodies for career advancents and ending up with nothing.
Facing the tower, making that seemingly more challenging choice was the right one.
The second thing was the appearance of Wen Xishu. Jiang Xue realized... this person of the sa age as her had stirred up a gust of wind.
Now, the wind was blowing towards the Deceit Tower.
So she made a bold decision to beco the first person in history to transfer from the Desire Tower to the Deceit Tower.
Wen Xishu didn't expect that the transfer student ntioned by the Academy Spirit was Jiang Xue.
In this world, many eyes were on Xun Hui, Wen Xishu, and Wenren Mirror.
But this world doesn't lack people who are harsh on themselves.
Wen Xishu decided to greet her:
"What is the function of this sequence?"
The stall owner noticed how this person looked so much like the one on the poster in the market district.
He suddenly realized:
"Ah! You must be Dean Wen!"
Jiang Xue was also startled, then delighted:
"Dean Wen, are you also shopping at the market?"
Wen Xishu smiled and said:
"Yes, shopkeeper, what effect does this sequence have?"
The stall owner thought to himself, maybe today he could trade a lousy sequence for a good one, after all, his stall was visited by a legend, wouldn't it be nice to have a good story to tell?
The stall owner imdiately smiled and said:
"This sequence is Weird Sequence 306: Needle in the Sea."
"Simply put, this sequence allows others to not figure you out, and prevents them from gleaning your true thoughts."
Wen Xishu heard this and found it intriguing:
"Then this sequence isn't as good as her Abstinence; you should exchange it with her."
"After all, as long as my acting is good enough, others can't figure out my thoughts either."
The stall owner shook his head and said:
"No, no, Dean, this is different, do you know how I obtained this treasure?"
"I got it on the sixth level of the Deceit Tower, by participating in a ga. This ga required mimicking the parents of a terrifying monster, but without letting the monster recall that these were its parents."
"At that ti, I put a lot of thought into it, and the greatest effect of this sequence is... even if others have a Mind Reading Technique, what they deduce is incorrect."
"Of course... it also has a slight drawback. Once you load it into a sequence slot... no one in the rest area can understand ."
"I wanted to exchange information, but the other party couldn't guess my thoughts. In short, no matter what I expressed, others wouldn't think in the direction I really wanted."
Wen Xishu was puzzled:
"Why do you want this?"
Jiang Xue said:
"Last ti I explored the Deceit Tower... I t soone—a self-proclaid Virgin. Crazy, I feel like she's insulting ."
Indeed, being a Virgin is a rare commodity in the Desire Tower Academy.
Of course, as is being a bachelor.
