Three Towers Game-Chapter 1027 - 312: Sequences and Their Stories (Part 2)

He didn't say much; there were too many unfortunate people in the bunker, and he indeed couldn't manage them all.

The stall's sequence, number 222.

This number, made Wen Xishu think about extreme pairs.

"This is quite an interesting sequence, Dean Wen, you don't know, do you? The Deceit Tower can't be teamed up. At least the known teaming methods are rare, but due to our physical particularity, my siblings and I always act as a team."

"Through the guide, we learned one thing: if you always perform some actions that only you do, then the Three Towers will give you a special judgment."

Wen Xishu knew that Zheng Zai was like this; Old Zheng always relied on devouring his opponents to end battles, causing the Three Towers to judge Old Zheng as a monster.

Thus, Old Zheng had the qualification to participate in the eerie competition.

"We are one body, so we are always judged as teaming up, but because this does not conform to common sense, we are recognized by the Three Towers as Gemini."

"Because of this, we met someone, a man who calls himself Gemini, on the eleventh floor of the Deceit Tower, this extremely lonely numerical level, we met a man. He claims to be Gemini, and he told me he could separate me and my sister."

"But we refused."

As soon as Wen Xishu heard Gemini, he became interested:

"Go on."

This brother and sister, or rather every stall owner here, admire Dean Wen, Wen Xishu, so when he was interested, they naturally were keen to share their past experiences.

"This man who calls himself Gemini, seeing us refuse him, told us that he could help us have two complete bodies."

"This was naturally very good. Actually, my sister and I didn't like it this way initially. We blamed each other, asking why the heavens had to make us so close..."

"We are seen as monsters in people's eyes, ugly and deformed things, but later… Mr. Wen Xiangge from Xishu Divine Teaching made us realize that no matter how ugly and unsightly, there are corners of this world that can accept us."

"And once we got used to the twin bodies, we were reluctant to separate."

"Yes, I didn't want to separate from my brother. We have adapted to it; if we separate… the world might not be better for us."

The siblings both turned to face Wen Xishu, showing smiles to him.

This was indeed bizarre, but Wen Xishu saw the resilience in this brother and sister's hearts.

"Sequence 222's effect actually doesn't suit us, but more solitary people. That man called Gemini, seeing our reluctance to separate, instead laughed and wanted to give us a reward."

Wen Xishu was puzzled upon hearing this, was this a direct intervention?

Gemini, and the Virgin mentioned earlier by Jiang Xue, what are they doing? Appearing directly in the Deceit Tower, making people make choices?

"The sequence is called Doppelganger's Bewilderment; with it, my sister and I can separate, become two people, two bodies."

"But if one person uses it, it creates a shadow clone, uncontrolled, but performs actions that are quite complementary and symmetrical with yours, helping you attack opponents."

Wen Xishu became interested, thinking he could buy this sequence.

"We don't actually need this sequence. We don't like the feeling of independence after separation; we rely on each other out of habit. So, sir, if you're interested, we can sell it to you, even trading for wealth is fine, you don't necessarily need to give us a sequence."

Wen Xishu was thinking, if he embedded a customization rune for a killer move, would the summoned shadow clone exceed the original, be unusually strong?

The clone would mimic and cooperate with the original, equivalent to gaining an extra summon.

Similar to Primordial Spirit Attack in cultivation novels?

This does have feasibility, and Wen Xishu didn't hesitate, making a decision immediately:

"I'll buy it."

"You can pay us with merit points. After all, with them, we can avoid climbing the tower for a long time." The stall owner turned, showing two smiling faces to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was happy to pay with merit points.

Having completed Level 6 performance many times, even Level 7 at times, has led him to accumulate very high merit points.

For Wen Xishu, resources and merits are meaningless.

He was so plentiful.

So in this transaction, he paid an unusually generous amount of merit points, making the siblings very happy.

Wen Xishu himself got it nearly for free.

Next, Wen Xishu continued to browse various stalls.

Every stall had its own story; every stall owner had something peculiar.

But almost every stall owner seemed a bit unfortunate.

The environment has changed, but those truly reaching the tenth floor of the Deceit Tower and obtaining something are still the impoverished ones.

The Deceit Tower market isn't too big, Wen Xishu quickly finished visiting all the stalls.

He saw a sequence that could make one smaller; this sequence… did have many kids from Desire Tower Academy coming to purchase, but he didn't buy it.

He also saw a sequence that could make an enemy unlucky; it has no combat ability, but the enemy's luck value will drop in the following days. Buyers were still students from Desire Tower Academy.

He saw a peculiar sequence that could secrete various potions from the body in a short time, mostly supplements, bringing random benefits, but could also be poisons.

There was even one sequence that could make someone pregnant, called Stare-induced Pregnancy, with a low chance of making a target pregnant. But the species born is unknown.

This sequence… actually has many visitors from Desire Tower Academy too.

These sequence effects are incredibly absurd, leaving one unable to guess the suitable scenarios for them.

Many people began to realize, because of the market, that the Deceit Tower is a place with infinite potential. You never know what power you'll gain in the Deceit Tower.

Wen Xishu continued shopping, soon reaching the last stall.

The last stall's owner seemed kind-hearted, unlike the other stall owners.

"Dean Wen, you've finally come to me. I believe my sequence is sure to be useful to you."

Wen Xishu discussed the sequence with the stall owner, and this sequence indeed seemed useful.

Sequence number 159 is the most upfront sequence Wen Xishu has encountered for trading, and he was a bit surprised as to why no one bought it for so long.

But as the stall owner introduced its effects, he realized why this sequence was not popular.

Sequence number 159 · Avenger's Karma, the holder of this sequence will gradually lose blood relatives until the number of blood relatives drops below three.

This enormous negative effect is enough to deter anyone whose kin is still alive.

Of course, the positive effect is strong too: the holder of this sequence, the more the target hates you to the core, the stronger the suppression you cause on the target. The more solid your hatred, the more the opponent despises you, the higher the damage you cause.

"I heard Dean Wen, you're all alone now, haha, this sequence truly suits you."

The stall owner seemed unaware that his words were somewhat… tactless. Clearly, this is one reason why no one buys his sequence.

But Wen Xishu didn't mind; he thought about it and realized… his number of blood relatives was indeed just one left; in other words, this thing has no side effects on him.

The more a target dislikes you, the higher your damage; this is simply a divine skill. It compensates for his dislike of cursing and affecting opponents' mindset during combat.

Wen Xishu said:

"I'll take this sequence; it indeed suits me."

The stall owner immediately showed a delighted expression:

"Yes, orphans suit this sequence best."

Wen Xishu was sure the person really didn't know how to speak rather than intentionally insulting him.

Once the transaction was complete, having transferred many merits to the other party, Wen Xishu decided to retort:

"Have your family mostly passed away too?"

The stall owner immediately changed his expression, becoming unpleasant:

"Yes, due to this sequence causing them to gradually have accidents in the last Great Devouring… gone."

Wen Xishu pretended to console:

"That's why being an orphan isn't bad; at least using this won't cause losses, unlike you, feeding the sequence until full."

The stall owner's face became very unpleasant.

Wen Xishu was satisfied with the person's expression.

Some people might be naturally bad at talking, but that isn't a reason to attack others.

Now Wen Xishu had two sequences, feeling quite accomplished.

Although there were still Desire Sequence and Slaughter Sequence markets he hadn't visited, considering the market would last many days, and he hadn't climbed the tower in a long time, and had new sequences, he decided—

To climb the tower first.
