For example, that Xun Hui, it’s said that before entering the Slaughter Tower, Xun Hui already possessed strength and speed unattainable by ordinary people. His appetite was also astonishing.
Now it seems, Tong Ming is also a freak.
Yet such a person... still died.
Wen Xishu pretended to sigh:
"This is the Deceit Tower, no matter how unique your style is, no matter how good your previous record was, no matter how astonishing your talent is..."
"But in the Deceit Tower, you could die suddenly. The number of geniuses buried here is countless."
No matter what trajectory your life had before, no matter how many people expect you to come back alive, thinking you will continue to write legendary stories...
In the Deceit Tower, you could die suddenly. This is also why Albert doesn’t explore the Deceit Tower.
"So everyone, let’s continue appraising items, maybe we’re luckier than him?"
Wen Xishu was actually very calm inside. Someone dying, although in his expectation, Tong Ming’s unique style made it seem normal to die later than Wang Ying and Aspasia...
But there are too many people in the Deceit Tower who fancy themselves as protagonists only to end abruptly, so he didn’t care.
Wen Xishu greeted Zheng Zai:
"Let’s go, we should head to 4-7."
Aspasia and Wang Ying exchanged a glance, Aspasia said:
"If we can’t trust even our weapons... then how do we choose?"
Wang Ying still had his own judgment:
"If you were the designer of these items, would you deliberately design them to repeat?"
"A knife has this function, the other knives definitely won’t. I think we should first look for those that already have monster-killing capabilities."
"But... but next time we’ll be Lv3, right? Or do Zheng Zai and the others start the next stage first, and we are Lv4?"
"Won’t the monsters gradually get stronger? Can we really find weapons to restrain these monsters?"
Wang Ying also wasn’t confident, Tong Ming’s death cast a shadow of fear over his heart.
He had a feeling this might really be his last time climbing the tower.
But he couldn’t speak these thoughts. He only said softly:
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Have you noticed, although the monster strength increases, it’s different from the real Slaughter Tower. These monster attacks, although simulating reality... have you noticed their paths are patterned, pre-designed."
"Their behavior is more simplistic, otherwise, even a hundred initial-stage level one normal types would be troublesome."
"Let’s keep looking, there must be something that can help us survive."
"Let’s go, we should check out 4-8."
Aspasia nodded, now Wang Ying was the only one she could rely on.
Compared to the somewhat depressing 4-8, 4-7 where Wen Xishu and Zheng Zai were was much more relaxed and joyous.
Wen Xishu was playing with this item, in a very good mood. He knew this thing might help them survive the Lv3 stage.
But Zheng Zai had never seen this item. Wen Xishu said:
"You wouldn’t be sad over Tong Ming’s death, right?"
"No, just didn’t expect... he’d be the first to die."
"That’s good, nothing unexpected, remember last time, we met in the rest area, except for the two of us, everyone else were villains. But those who deserved to die all died."
"Younger Brother Wen, you seem to be in a good mood?"
"Yes, I think this thing will most likely help us through Lv3. It could also be Lv2, after all, Tong Ming died at Lv2, he hadn’t passed it yet."
Wen Xishu showed the item to Zheng Zai, who took it in his hands, holding it with both hands.
Unexpectedly, it felt quite comfortable to hold.
"But this thing... isn’t sharp, it doesn’t even look as good as a lamp. Is this a decoration? What’s it called? I’ve never seen it before, I can’t imagine how to use it to kill enemies."
"This thing is called a handle."
