Clearly, Aquarius, Leo, and Sagittarius all believed that any variables should be eliminated if possible.

Gemini coughed twice:

"Big sister, next time, don't call a meeting over such trivial matters."

"We have never been allies, even when our interests align. Besides..."

"He did not reach his current state because you favored him, but rather, you favored him because he reached his current state."

"I believe he won't die so easily. If you want to help him, discussing with Sagittarius and the others is pointless. Instead, let him participate more in the area you're responsible for."

As the meeting was nearing its end, after a brief silence—

Leo made a beheading gesture towards the four constellations who seemed like outsiders.

Gradually, the seven-colored light began to dissipate.

...

...

An unknown land. A mysterious castle.

When Wen Xishu opened his eyes, he saw a sight that aligned with his stereotypes.

It was like a castle from medieval Europe. In the grand hall, Wen Xishu saw many knight statues.

They were holding torches, illuminating the entire hall.

In the vast and somewhat cold hall, there were a total of eight people.

Wen Xishu liked this environment a lot because it looked sufficiently "ancient."

But he couldn't be entirely sure that this was the area related to Aries.

After all, many tasks involved not just one constellation, and ultimately it was up to him to decide what kind of ending would benefit a specific constellation.

Before Wen Xishu began to observe the seven other people, it was necessary to mention the dice he rolled this time.

Again, Wen Xishu rolled a 'leopard.'

Three, three, three.

This roll result provided many options, starting with the old ones—

Triune Power, Triple Heights, Three Births All Things, Quality Enhancement, Peerless Under Heaven.

Wen Xishu really wanted to choose Triune Power.

But he discovered an especially interesting new option—Triple Realm Resonance.

[Triple Realm Resonance: Triggered when all dice roll to three. Effect: If you obtain the Slaughter Tower sequence, you will also get the corresponding Deceit Tower and Desire Tower sequences. If you obtain the Desire Tower sequence, you will get the corresponding Deceit Tower and Slaughter Tower sequences. If you obtain the Deceit Tower sequence, you will get the corresponding Slaughter Tower and Desire Tower sequences.

This option also applies to acquired items. However, instead of obtaining items of the same grade from the other two towers upon settlement, it directly grants the acquired items access permissions for usage across all three towers.]

For safety reasons—

Wen Xishu should choose Triune Power, ensuring he would have the Slaughter Tower panel and sequences available for use.

For maximum benefit, Wen Xishu should choose Triple Heights, but because Triple Heights becomes ineffective in the Great Vortex, its original effect would directly increase the difficulty to the level of Deceit Tower's 90th floor.

In the Great Vortex, Triple Heights transforms to corresponding levels +15, rather than corresponding levels x3.

The Castle Story Event itself corresponds to the 30th floor of the Deceit Tower.

No matter how brave Wen Xishu was, or even if the Triple Heights effect hadn't changed, he wasn't planning to challenge a difficulty level of 90 floors.

So he was supposed to choose Triune Power.

However, Triple Realm Resonance significantly attracted Wen Xishu.

This meant that if he obtained, for example, the Deceit Sequence 37: Mental Barrage,

He would also get the Slaughter Sequence 37 and Desire Sequence 37 in correspondence.

Wen Xishu was still very eager to acquire the Slaughter and Desire sequences.

Even without sequences, according to the description of Triple Realm Resonance, if he acquired an item, like an item usable only within the Deceit Tower, it would directly change the item's permissions to be usable across all three towers.

This was extremely powerful.

"In the fiftieth or sixtieth floors of Desire Tower, some areas are probably as challenging as those in Deceit Tower. Even if I choose simple and brutal strategies, I need to increase my strength."

"I must say, the effect of the Reversal Dice is incredibly powerful. This Triple Realm Resonance came just at the right time. If only I could roll Triple Realm Resonance every time, then I could directly benefit from all three towers."

In summary, Wen Xishu chose the new option—Triple Realm Resonance.

In that widely acclaimed Three Kingdoms card game, players knew to buy new, not old items.

Although the new option introduced some risks, the rewards during settlement were incredibly appealing.

This time, the Scorpio Dagger's attributes weren't particularly overpowering.

[In this task, you will have a full-time game effect—Panel View. You can check the other party's panel, and the degree of detail will depend on your affinity with them.]

In simple terms, it's a commonly used feature in online games, where you right-click a character's avatar to view their attributes.

So, Wen Xishu began to observe the other seven people at this moment...

Checking their attributes.

"This time, the task is called Castle Story Event... It's evidently related to storytelling. It seems like we're to recount real evil deeds?"

"But I don't know what special elements might be involved. Given it's the Deceit Tower, it can't be as simple as just telling stories."

"Are these seven people all storytellers? Are we to select the one with the most exciting story among us?"

"Before the rules become clear, I should carefully observe these people."

Including Wen Xishu, there were a total of eight people.

Wen Xishu's gaze first fell on the person who appeared the most threatening.

It was a bald man with a black spider tattooed on his head. He looked fierce and evil.

This person's panel looked like this.
