Wen Xishu developed a new sense of admiration for Wenren Mirror’s charisma.
"One word, impressive! Alright, Senior Wenren, I understand the situation now."
Wenren Mirror said:
"I wonder what your angle will be. Tell about it when you return?"
Wen Xishu replied:
"My mission is described as bringing joy to a man nad John. I think he might be the creator of the post-apocalyptic survival ga."
"Moreover, this person is likely to possess so kind of powerful qualification, possibly being a leader or even a dominator-level entity in the Slaughter Tower."
Wenren Mirror nodded:
"Good, as expected, it’s different from our approach. Good luck."
Wen Xishu waved and said:
"Goodbye, Senior. I won’t dawdle any longer; I’m heading to the Desire Tower now."
Wenren Mirror said:
"Alright, sa here. See you at the Bunker."
...
...
Desire Tower, fifteenth floor. Region: Wind City.
Different from before, this ti Wen Xishu could explore the entire Wind City.
"It seems the higher the level, the larger the map? And also, the harder it is to find the target. The way the Desire Tower increases difficulty is really... not on the sa scale as the other two towers. No wonder so many people love the Desire Tower."
Wind City wasn’t big; compared to Mo’en City, Wind City was about one-third its size.
However, Wind City indeed was bustling. Wen Xishu was now on the streets of Wind City. From afar, he could see the seventy-story Golden Mansion.
"I must find John first." Wen Xishu looked around, ready to use the fake Destiny Compass.
However, he soon stopped because he saw overwhelming advertisents, ga advertisents.
Almost everywhere, posters were hanging, promoting a ga called "Doomsday," claiming it would redefine gaming.
"Redefine gaming," "imrsive experience," "the most realistic ga in history," "all other gas will be aningless from now on," "nobody can resist its arrival" — these eye-catching slogans, combined with various visuals, filled every corner of streets and alleys.
Wen Xishu looked at those images, and they were basically real; he saw many familiar scenes.
Schools, Violet Garden District, and various landmarks in Wind City.
Playing gas is all about imrsion, and when the people of Wind City see a ga claiming to be incredibly realistic and set in Wind City itself, they all eagerly anticipated it.
But Wen Xishu suddenly felt that the ga’s slogans might not be exaggerating the ga but objectively describing it.
Imrsive experience, the most realistic ga in history — this evidently was not exaggerated, because the scenes in the ga matched the Deceit Tower scenarios Wen Xishu himself experienced.
That couldn’t even be called imrsive; it was basically transporting people directly into a zombie-filled post-apocalyptic world.
"Of course, all other gas are aningless, because doomsday has arrived. Whether there are gas or not is beside the point."
"No one can resist its arrival — is it saying that doomsday is coming, and no one can stop it?"
Every nook and cranny of Wind City was filled with ga slogans, but no one realized that these were not ga slogans; this was...
A sign of doomsday’s arrival.
Wen Xishu couldn’t imagine that the start of the Desire Tower mission would be like this.
"It’s more twisted than I imagined. Normally, even those with leader-level qualifications like Tang Rui and Jack wouldn’t realize doomsday was upon them."
"So far, there has only been one scenario where, after I arrived, the NPCs realized doomsday was coming and started preparing for it. That scenario involved An Rongzai, the controller of the Sanqiu Group."
"Wenren Mirror ntioned that the ga he was actually playing was very different from the advertised ga."
"So recently, a post-apocalyptic survival ga was indeed released, with content closely resembling this. This is definitely not a coincidence, because Wenren Mirror said he had to beat that ga."
"This ans that Wind City’s zombie apocalypse is related to the ga called ’Doomsday.’
The task’s title was The Troubles of Genius John. Wen Xishu speculated that John was likely the author of the ga ’Doomsday.’
"Alright, back to the original question. I’ll find John first."
Wen Xishu took out the Destiny Compass. He had many ways, but now the Compass was the simplest no-brainer; if he could cheat, he wouldn’t bother using his brain.
But this ti, the Compass needle was erratic.
When Wen Xishu took out the Compass, he discovered sothing strange: the Scorpio cheat knife was actually trembling. The knife was trembling, and the Compass needle kept erratically pointing in different directions...
These anomalies made Wen Xishu realize the gravity of the situation.
"Is the knife interfering with the Compass? No, this knife belongs to now; it has no reason to hinder ."
"The Destiny Compass... is not being interfered with by the Scorpio knife. The erratic needle ans there’s significant danger. It doesn’t want to go to John’s location."
"The Scorpio knife is also giving a warning."
It was a strange feeling as if Wen Xishu could sense the thoughts of the two god-level items.
The Compass and the knife, although both orange-tier items, were clearly of a higher grade than other orange items like the Murder Soccer Ball.
"You... don’t want to seek John at this mont?"
As if responding to Wen Xishu, the trembling of the Scorpio cheat knife suddenly stopped. The Destiny Compass needle also stopped moving erratically.
Wen Xishu’s expression turned serious.
