Three Towers Game

Chapter 426 Rectifying Big Data

Wen Xishu said:
"Don't you understand the situation? There's a huge gap in strength between us. You can't do anything right now because the rules don't even allow you to hurt me."

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Rocoche could accept that the task was difficult, but he couldn't accept that his judgment of the world was instantly overturned in just a few dozen seconds.

"You're like a drowning man right now, but try it, try giving up on killing me."

"Come on, don't resist. You can't kill me anyway, so why not give it a try?"

At this moment, Rocosi truly felt that his body was unable to make any of the movements he had expected. It was as if he was constantly fluttering in the air, or as if the different parts of his body had switched places, and he had lost his sense of coordination.

He couldn't kill Wen Xishu; even if he made a move occasionally, it wouldn't cause Wen Xishu any harm.

Those poisoned darts defy the principles of physics.

Hearing Xi Shu's voice, he couldn't help but give it a try...

"This is not something I can deal with, this is not something I can handle..."

Once this thought arises, the seed of fear has already sprouted in one's heart.

Soon, Rocosi discovered that he seemed to be able to move around freely again.

The feeling of drowning disappeared, and I regained all control over my body.

Wen Xishu said:
"See, it's very simple, isn't it?"

"Also, the rules of the Hunting City do apply in the bunker, but it depends on the person. For example, I remember Almi."

Almi was also surprised to hear this. Why would the cult leader remember him?

But then he explained himself—this is the cult leader, what's so surprising?

Thinking about it this way, Almi felt much better.

Rocosi wanted to escape from here.

But he couldn't open that door.

Wen Xishu said:
"You can't escape. Let me tell you this: no one can save you. If I want to keep you here, even the rules of Hunting City, such as the mandatory return after seven days, won't save you."

"I'll give you ten days to think it over. You just stay here and behave yourself."

Wen Xishu turned and went to another room. In the brief moment when Rocoxi wasn't paying attention, he wrote down a rule.

Then, Wen Xishu led Almi to another room.

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and Almi couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Master... can you really do this? The rule of mandatory return after seven days... if it's possible, I'll apply for... permanent residence in the bunker!"

The bunker addiction will only grow stronger and can never be truly eliminated. Unless you become a bunker dweller.

Almi's eyes were filled with piety.

Wen Xishu said:
"Of course not. I just changed the time rules. He's in another room, and what he's experiencing is different from what we're experiencing."

“Currently, Wen Xiange is not here, and this Rocosi is indeed very murderous. However, I have noticed something very interesting.”

"Therefore I cannot kill Rocoche."

Almi was puzzled:
"What's so interesting?"

Wen Xishu said, "Algorithm."

Almi was even more confused: "An algorithm?"

"Yes, algorithms. Through your account of Wen Xiange's future experiences and Nissen's future experiences, I've discovered something—they both attracted powerful sequences because of their different life trajectories, unique behaviors, and strong personal styles."

"I have verified this with the former headmaster, and even with many other people in the Three Towers world."

"When your personal style is very unique, you will often be attracted to a certain sequence when you are implementing your personal style."

"It's as if there's some kind of algorithm involved."

“Nissen’s personal style is to charge ahead and protect his comrades. The old headmaster’s personal style is to simplify the complex and be consistent. Wen Xiange’s style is to continuously spread the Xishu Cult, which is both a style and a personal behavior pattern.”

“When these things reach their limit… they become attracted to a certain sequence. So, Almi, you might as well try going to the extreme…”

Almi nodded. What was his style? Luring people into the bunker to kill them? Hunting down traitors? Hunting down spies?

However, Almi still didn't understand:
"Does this have anything to do with you not killing Rocoche?"

Wen Xishu said:
"Algorithms affect not only sequences, but also other things. I have a friend named Zheng Zai, who plays the role of a monster, a man-eating monster, all the time. So he can actually trigger the Tower of Horrors quest that I can't."

"There is also a new friend named Xu Manjin. He likes to use his brain to play games with groups, so he keeps receiving similar tasks."

"Their actions prove that the transmission mechanism also has an algorithm."

Almi seemed to understand:
"So you believe... there's an algorithm involved in teleporting from the Hunter City to the bunker?"

Wen Xishu nodded. In his opinion, if the Chamber of Commerce was backed by an Outer God, it must be an Outer God who was playing against the Three Towers God, and it was using the teleportation mechanism, which was essentially the teleportation mechanism of the Three Towers.

He was quite confident about this, because it was this certainty that allowed Almi to successfully deceive the system last time, both protecting Wen Xiange and earning Almi a reward.

But one Almi alone is not enough; more traitors from the hunting city are needed.

This would require adding a transmission mechanism.

Maybe...

Many secrets of the hunting city can be uncovered.

After all, the author, Mo Sen, also mentioned something else—that he had been imprisoned by a businessman.

Merchants and chambers of commerce are bound to be connected.

Now that I've taken on the task of breaking the curse, I must start planning as soon as possible.

I hope that one day I will sneak into the hunting city and find that it is full of believers.

"Only if you and many more Hunter City people successfully complete the mission can the algorithm remember that this is something that benefits Hunter City. That's why I won't kill Rocosi."

Wen Xishu said calmly, then added:

"Of course, I'm not some kind of charlatan, and I'm too lazy to reason with people or appeal to their emotions. I'll just use incentives and intimidation."

"First intimidate, then offer benefits. I believe someone like Rocochet knows which option to choose."

Almi seemed to understand:
"Indeed, after I returned to Hunter City, I found that... the quest did indeed take several days to refresh. I've been waiting for it these past few days."

"Although I succeeded last time, the person who assassinated Zheng Zai should have failed."

Wen Xishu hadn't asked Zheng Zai what had happened yet, since Old Zheng wasn't in the bunker right now.

He just said:
"That's right. That's why we need to increase the success rate. Once hunters come here, I hope they can be transformed from elite hunters into elite fortress hunters."

Wen Xishu looked at Almi:

"So, Almi, your task is very difficult. You can't stay for the full seven days every time. I need you to travel back and forth frequently and not overlook any details."

"Or you can gather enough hunter information for me as soon as possible."

"This way, I can fine-tune the algorithm as much as possible."

Almi stood up:

"Rest assured, Master! I am not someone who only knows how to indulge in pleasure! I now have lofty ideals and a mission! Under your leadership, I will liberate Hunting City."

Wen Xishu was very satisfied with Almi's reaction and admired Wen Xiange for doing it.

However, Almi soon had concerns:

"So how should Nissen handle this?"

"Next, you and I will go find Nissen together, tell him everything, and then I'll beat him half to death. My future self will cooperate to deceive the algorithm."

The future leader of the cult?
Almi was puzzled.

Wen Xishu didn't say much.

But Wen Xishu knew that he came from a cursed land, and his future was uncertain. Everything he did now was affecting his future.

The future version of themselves will only surpass the versions of themselves in various parallel universes. With the two of them working together, it would be no problem for Nissen to disappear from the Hunter City timeline where Almi is located for a period of time.

In this way, everything Almi did in Almi's timeline had an immediate effect. During the mission, Almi severely injured Nissen, and after the mission, Nissen simply disappeared. Shouldn't Almi be rewarded?
It's all about deception. It's about the coordinated efforts of this moment and that moment.

It's normal that Almi didn't understand such a complex situation, but Almi was a good comrade. He knew that when dealing with a great being like the cult leader, obedience was more effective than questioning.

"Yes! I will follow the leader's arrangements."

Wen Xishu nodded:

"It's about time; we should go see Rocoche."

……

……

In another room, Rocosi felt like he was about to grow a beard.

He tried to destroy everything in the house to vent his anger and fear.

But I can't do it; every time I try to do something similar, I lose my body coordination and control.

He could only stay quietly or pace around to express his anxiety.

Three months? Four months? Or six months? Rocoche felt like at least three months had passed.

I'm not bragging, but this man, whom Almi calls the leader, really can keep himself in this world forever.

The seven-day rule doesn't work at all!

Even after seven days, there is no way to force them to return to the hunting city.

Most importantly, I didn't even feel hungry here; I only felt the passage of time and the torment of being imprisoned.

I don't know how long I'll be imprisoned, or if I'll die here...

Unable to escape, unable to resist, they could only accept it.

Wen Xishu remained silent. It was merely an imprisonment, and time would teach Rocoche a lesson.

Some prisoners are imprisoned for decades, but they have various time references and social interactions.

In this closed environment, with no reference points to time, no social interaction, and only oneself in a room... months of imprisonment is enough to drive a person insane.

When the door suddenly opened, and when Wen Xishu and Almi reappeared.

Rocoxi suddenly felt a surge of joy, completely forgetting that he was an assassin. At this moment, all he wanted to do was hug Wen Xishu's leg and cry out:
"Why did you come just now?"

Wen Xishu smiled slightly as he watched Rococo, who was scrambling excitedly towards him.

Almi was very surprised. The leader was really good at this. How could Rocosi have changed like this in such a short time?

Wen Xishu said:
"Come with me to a place, right next to this house."

Wen Xishu planned to take Rocoxi to visit the memoir.

Soon, led by Wen Xishu, Rocoxi walked out of the house. At this point, Rocoxi could have assassinated Wen Xishu.

But he no longer dared to.

After Wen Xishu brought Rococo into the Memoirs...

A red and black aura began to permeate the air, with red houses and black houses appearing frequently, and various monsters began to appear.

They stared at Rocoche with ferocious expressions.

This terrified Roccosi.

Although Rocoche was skilled at killing, his abilities were simply insufficient against these monsters.

This is outrageous, it's outrageous! How could such a place exist?
What exactly is a bunker?

A group of monsters, terrifying enough to destroy a country, are all imprisoned in a house.

The crowd outside the building showed no fear whatsoever? They seemed completely untouched by the apocalypse, yet the most ferocious monsters of the apocalypse... were all imprisoned here?
There seems to be only one answer: these monsters have been tamed by a more powerful being!

Upon realizing this answer, Rocoxi trembled and knelt before Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu said:
“Now, I’m telling you, you can choose to die here, or you can choose to return to Hunter City with my help, but from now on, you have to listen to Almi.”

“Rocosi, I believe you already know that I am not affected by cause and effect, and I can remember you.”

"I can remember you now, and I will naturally remember you in the future."

"Guess why the merchants of the Hunting City Merchant Guild only dare to send you back in time to kill us?"

"Because in the future, you will be so insignificant that you won't even be able to sit at the table, or even be worthy of my attention."

"If I find out that you dare to betray Almi, which is to say, betray me, you will die a horrible death. The Hunter City Merchant Guild will not be able to protect you. Neither this version of me nor the version of me in your Hunter City timeline."

This boastful statement about his future self was indeed effective; Rocosi was now so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, making his stance clear.

Soon, Rocosi began to recount the information he knew. First, it was about Jiang Xue.

After the mission objectives were described, Wen Xishu laughed.

Jiang Xue...

It's actually related to Capricorn?

Frankly speaking, among all the names, Jiang Xue is definitely not a core member. She can't compare to Zheng Zai, A Miao, Wen Xian Ge, or Nisen, Yue Yun, Xun Hui, Wenren Jing...

In fact, in Wen Xishu's memory, the businessman William Hawkner was more noticeable than Jiang Xue.

But Jiang Xue took a different approach and became associated with Capricorn?

Does she look like a Capricorn's first love?
Wen Xishu even started speculating in absurd directions.

After that, he stopped making wild guesses.

His expertise in theft, infiltration, and kidnapping was a stark contrast to Wen Xishu's own abilities.

It is evident that if one can survive, many seemingly insignificant individuals at this moment may, in the future, achieve results no less impressive than those monsters who dominate the battlefield.

Wen Xishu thought of that "other self" again. Perhaps the flourishing of flowers that 001 saw was not only outside the outside world, but also inside the bunker.

Rocosi had by this point completely surrendered to fear and overwhelming power.

Regarding the Hunter City, Rocosi's intelligence was similar to Almi's. Although Rocosi was a more famous hunter than Almi, there was no doubt that neither of them had made contact with the core of the Hunter City.

Wen Xishu can only wait for a true top hunter to be captured before he can uncover the mystery behind the merchant guild.

But that day is not today.

The following day, after the fear and the blows of power, Wen Xishu warmly entertained Almi and Rocosi, making Rocosi realize the abundance of supplies in the bunker.

The two completed their mission; Jiang Xue was poisoned, and Nissen was injured…

However, with a Level 6 hospital nearby, it's not a problem.

Rocosi and Almi also returned to the hunting town soon after.

In Rocoxi's memory, he could only return to Hunting City after Wen Xishu gave his approval.

Almi saw through it but didn't say anything.

Back in Hunter City, Almi now has two underlings: an observer who can assess potential, and an elite hunter like Roccosi who excels at investigation.

Almi sensed that his team would definitely grow stronger.

……

……

Meanwhile, for two consecutive days, Wen Xishu in the bunker had been like a lonely old man, with all the big shots in the bunkers climbing the tower. As for the Hunter City, the algorithm probably wouldn't be adjusted so quickly that hunters would be coming in every day...

He had no choice but to start climbing the tower again.

This time, according to the derivative service of the guide's forced tower exit service... Wen Xishu learned that he was going to face a mission related to a "little girl" that he didn't really like.

This is a genuine "Aquarius" mission.

(I've only had time to update in the afternoons these past few days. Sigh, my wife and I went back to our hometown; her grandfather passed away yesterday morning, so we've been quite busy. But as the younger generation, our affairs are almost finished, and I estimate we can switch back to updating around noon tomorrow or the day after.)
