Three Towers Game

Chapter 1457: Chapter 468: Question-and-Answer Trap

Don’t say, once Wen Xishu says so, even though it’s obviously to trick kids, even though this kid isn’t really a kid, in fact, very clever...

But it’s undeniable that this trick really works.

Scorpio was clearly tempted, but still said with difficulty:

"But I still have very important things to do, brother, I’ve stayed here long enough."

Wen Xishu was puzzled:

"What do you need to do?"

Scorpio said:

"Brother, haven’t you heard anything?"

"Archer got captured and fell into Leon’s hands. Although we don’t get along well, I like Leon even less."

"I hate that arrogant guy; I need to prepare to defeat him, hehe."

"Originally, I was worried about running out of time, but fortunately, you came, brother. I must say, sometimes fate helps me."

Wen Xishu still didn’t quite believe it, truly such a coincidence.

But Scorpio indeed is—time is tight.

"Brother, no problem, if you clear this skyscraper and defeat the Gamer, I’ll give you a small gift, and our relationship will become better."

"I’d be worried about others, but you, brother, can definitely do it. What is the Gamer or the New World anyway."

Scorpio smiled brightly, like a little fanboy.

Ever since Wen Xishu knew his brother Wen Chaohua was a Gemini, he felt Scorpio’s smile and flattery carried another meaning.

But he couldn’t figure it out clearly, nor did he want to ponder deeply.

"By the way, brother, fill out the questionnaire properly; it’s important. The first floor is where Heroes are greeted."

"I haven’t played this skyscraper game; it’s made by the Gamer who merged many of his own ideas."

"But this building shouldn’t be this tall. Although I have confidence in you, brother, if you’re too complacent, you might die."

Wen Xishu said angrily:

"After talking for so long, you didn’t reveal anything, just not willing to cooperate with me?"

"This isn’t a multiplayer game," Scorpio said.

"Alright, alright, brother, I really have to go."

Scorpio looked at the sky:

"There’s another crucial guy about to enter the game."

"Good luck, brother, we’ll meet again when fighting Leon. As a supplement for not being able to play the game with you, I’ll grant you a new ability."

[Scorpion Knife gains the ability · Translation.]

Translation isn’t about language translation; it’s more like an explanation, such as some professional terms or the meanings represented by some options.

Clearly, Scorpio seems to understand the Gamer well and has anticipated some possible pitfalls the Gamer might create.

Wen Xishu doesn’t care about this; he cares more about—the plan to trick the constellation into helping him clear the game failed.

Scorpio disappeared.

Disappeared into thin air.

Wen Xishu looked around and noticed that this skyscraper should have been an empty plaza.

At that moment, the entrance of the first floor of the skyscraper began to flash colorful lights.

It seemed that with Scorpio’s departure, this building was no longer in a "non-accessible" state.

It started welcoming guests again.

Clearly, in the view of the mansion or its owner—Scorpio was the most terrifying; whereas Wen Xishu was just an ordinary Challenger.

Wen Xishu looked at the door shimmering with rainbow colors; these lights somehow gave a dreamlike feeling, like stepping into a fairy tale world or entering a story.

The idea of teaming up with Scorpio, the thought of exploring Scorpio’s skills, ultimately didn’t materialize.

Yet Wen Xishu didn’t dwell on it:

"I do want to see what level this Gamer, most valued by Scorpio, is at."

He didn’t hesitate any longer, facing the skyscraper enveloped in a red aura, he walked straight towards the door glowing with rainbow colors.

...

...

As his figure was engulfed by the colorful lights...

Wen Xishu found himself standing in a softly-lit, air-fresh hall.

This place was more expansive than expected, with a remarkably high ceiling, yet oddly without an oppressive feeling. At every glance was a warm-colored, art-deco style, the marble floor reflecting the simplistic crystal lighting on the ceiling.

The walls were ivory white, adorned with golden stripes, and at intervals, there were closed peach wood doors carved with various game symbols—

Sword and shield, a pistol, dice, a maze.

But these doors had no handles.

The background played almost indistinguishable, soothing orchestral remixes of 8-bit game music.

The melody was familiar yet strange, like fragments of childhood memories.

Everything was comfortable just right, yet perfectly lifeless.

At the end of the hall was a curved, pearl-lustered ivory reception desk, with a receptionist standing behind, dressed in a tailored blue suit, a smile almost identical to Scorpio’s.

"Welcome, Hero, congratulations on arriving at the Infinite Mansion. Next, you will experience the most perfect journey of your life."

Damn...

Wen Xishu felt a strange sensation within.

This receptionist was a spitting image of what Scorpio would look like grown-up, akin to Conan and Kudou Shinichi.

This guy wouldn’t happen to be the "Gamer," right?

If I kill this guy now, wouldn’t it mean the obsession ends?

Despite the thought, Wen Xishu soon realized something strange.

In his vision, unbeknownst to him, there appeared a row of skill panels.

The skill panels listed all of Wen Xishu’s skills.

Things like Spiritual Bullet Screen, Ultimate Kick, Personality Party, Sole Me... even including basic attacks, though the description for basic attacks was: Normal Attack.
