Jin Zaimin saw Wen Xishu falling silent, thinking that the other party was contemplating, so he didn’t rush him.
Wen Xishu indeed was deep in thought. He found it sowhat amusing—asking him to deal with Scorpio on his third tower climb?
At this mont, two figures indeed surfaced in his mind: a mischievous child and a woman with a cold face, seemingly seeing through everything.
It was foreseeable that each star sign represented a different power... These powers spread throughout the regions of the Three Towers. Since both the Desire Tower and the Deceit Tower had them, the Slaughter Tower likely would as well.
Mostly, they hadn’t engaged in formal battles, except for Pisces and Scorpio.
Due to acquiring Scorpio’s blade and breaking Scorpio’s ga, Wen Xishu had drawn the attention of Pisces. anwhile, An Rongzai had also aligned with Pisces. An Rongzai planned to use his power to "kill his enemies from the past."
For this mission, this was a mutually beneficial choice.
Option 1: His enemy would no longer be An Rongzai, the Jicheng Demon King, but rather the more terrifying Scorpio.
Option 2: Scorpio may not be a friend, and Pisces along with An Rongzai, this fearso Jicheng Demon King, could beco enemies...and the mission completion might not be high.
Option 2 seed unwise no matter how it was viewed.
But interestingly, Wen Xishu noticed a detail: even if he chose Option 1, Scorpio’s favorability would not decrease. Although he disrupted the bet between Scorpio and Gemini, Scorpio seed unperturbed.
"I can’t be swayed by the options."
Not reaching the highest mission completion wasn’t significant for Wen Xishu.
Scorpio’s presented image was of a mischievous child, causing chaos in the Three-Tower World through gamification.
But the Three-Tower Ga had its content. For soone like Wen Xishu, accustod to player thinking, it was an advantage. Otherwise, why call it the Three-Tower Ga?
If Pisces’ ability was related to ti, naturally, there would be conflicts with Bunker players. And from deep within, Wen Xishu detested those who played with ti.
Bunker players followed the rules with no choice, but Pisces did not.
Wen Xishu ultimately chose Option 2.
[Scorpio’s Blade attributes have been upgraded a second ti. Specific attributes can be checked at the guide. Scorpio favorability 5, Pisces favorability -10. The mission will end in five minutes, and all team mbers will return to the bunker.]
[Mission difficulty fluctuated. Death before returning to the guide will be considered mission failure.]
Wen Xishu had made his choice. Though he hadn’t spoken, he saw hostility in Jin Zaimin’s eyes.
Wen Xishu understood that if he died within five minutes, the mission would be deed a failure, which seed to be the situation he faced now.
The hostility in Jin Zaimin’s eyes gradually intensified into a killing intent. Outside the door, several green-uniford staff mbers had appeared without his notice.
Survival now was likely beyond the original difficulty of the seventh floor of the Deceit Tower.
As the "sacrifice for Seven Suppression," Jin Zaimin was the boss-level existence in this mission, and killing Wen Xishu wouldn’t be difficult for him.
But Wen Xishu found it thrilling:
"It seems my choice doesn’t permit to live."
Jin Zaimin nodded and said:
"The chairman won’t make the sa mistake twice, nor let the sa person stop him twice."
Wen Xishu pretended not to hear:
"Before you kill , can you tell , what happens after you seven die?"
Jin Zaimin said:
"The seven sins of the seven sacrifices are absorbed and will be instilled in my child, who will beco the new miracle created by the Miracle Mansion."
Wen Xishu understood that these seven demons were extrely greedy, gluttonous, lustful, wrathful, proud, envious, and slothful.
And all seven were miracle products, set to beco seven perfect sacrifices...
Ultimately, they would be absorbed by An Rongzai.
Wen Xishu didn’t know why An Rongzai could still use this ritual, but that wasn’t the focus now.
He said:
"Killing is easy, but you’ve heard it, becoming a big fish will have you swallowed by the ti whale. Your master An Rongzai fears Pisces too."
"Mr. Jin, you will die. Your child will beco food for An Rongzai, just like you. You’re small fish helping him beco the big fish, but you don’t care because it’s all for the Group."
Jin Zaimin indeed didn’t care:
"I have devoted my whole life to the chairman and the Sanqiu Group! My desire for the Group’s prosperity rivals that of the chairman! Moreover, I won’t die."
For Jin Zaimin, these seven days were infinite. Death would trigger a restart, and with the powers of the Terminator and Pisces, he would know everything that happened in those seven days.
Thus, in a sense, he was immortal, or one could say, he beca an eternal part of the Sanqiu Group.
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Facing Scorpio, An Rongzai did not choose to pin all hopes on Scorpio’s plan; instead, he chose Pisces against Scorpio’s expectation."
"It’s the sa this ti. Besides An Rongzai, another person desires the Sanqiu Group’s revival. His na is An Youxuan."
Hearing An Youxuan’s na, Jin Zaimin suddenly paused. Wen Xishu seized the mont:
"You can blindly trust your chairman, but if your chairman were here, he would not choose to kill . Because with alive, An Youxuan and An Jincheng have more possibilities."
"You’ve been with your chairman long enough to know that more preparations and more variables are essential. Otherwise, how can you turn the tide ti and again?"
"You have infinite seven-day cycles... but you won’t encounter a second . Your chance to make a choice for An Youxuan and An Jincheng is this once!"
"The possibility of not being swallowed by the whale might lie in this choice!"
This forceful speech indeed moved Jin Zaimin. He stood up, staring at Wen Xishu for a long ti, feeling like he saw a younger An Rongzai. He finally said:
"I hope you keep your word. This won’t be your last encounter with the Sanqiu Group."
The killing intent from Jin Zaimin completely dissipated.
But Wen Xishu did not feel relieved.
This mission wasn’t particularly difficult, but it seed like he had glimpsed the prelude to an epic war.
He didn’t know how much mission completion this ti would achieve or how many "star signs" it would attract. To Wen Xishu, these star signs noticing him too early was not a good thing.
But he remained optimistic:
"Forget it, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Let’s claim the reward first."
In a certain sense, Wen Xishu had created a formidable enemy for the tower climbers of the Slaughter Tower—An Rongzai.
But he felt that An Rongzai might be different from those pure slaughter monsters in the Slaughter Tower.
Wen Xishu now very much wanted to go to the academy and ask Albert, who had climbed the Slaughter Tower to over ninety floors, surely had heard about various wars in the Slaughter Tower.
