White head, red head, black head.
The three heads actually look exactly the same, but their colors and facial expressions are different.
The black head is gloomy, with a somewhat sinister and evil smile.
The white head's smile is exaggerated, like a clown performing a comedy.
The red head doesn't smile but exudes an aura of authority without anger.
Wen Xishu didn't adapt as quickly this time. Honestly, he found the guide's appearance even more sanity-draining than Deceit Jack.
After a silence of about ten seconds, he started asking questions:
"So, what does it mean that I can see three heads?"
It was the white head of the guide who answered Wen Xishu:
"Generally speaking, tower climbers can only see one of our heads. Which tower system's content they influence determines which head they see."
"Seeing all three means you recently completed an extraordinary adventure, changing the contents of all three towers."
"Little brother, which of us do you think looks the best?"
The three heads of the Three Tower guide all turned to look at Wen Xishu.
The white head suddenly began to wriggle with blood and flesh. After a short while, it had transformed into the face of a rather beautiful woman.
The red head snorted disdainfully.
The black head adjusted its smile, probably trying to look more normal, but it only appeared more eerie.
Wen Xishu was a bit speechless. He had now fully adapted to this guide of the Three Towers.
"According to the hint, I need to complete 'account registration' here with the guide."
He decided to get straight to the point.
Compared to messing around with the guide, Wen Xishu cared more about what level of completion he had achieved.
And, what kind of bizarre sequence Deceit Jack had actually given him.
Based on Wen Xishu's current memory:
A sequence is an extremely rare item, and everyone has an initial sequence slot. A sequence can be inserted into it.
There are also three types of sequences: Killing Sequence, Deceit Sequence, and Desire Sequence.
As one continues to explore the Three Towers, those with good luck can acquire rarer sequences and might even have a stroke of luck, opening additional sequence slots.
It is said that Xun Hui, first on the Slaughter Tower Celestial Ladder, has six sequence slots, all equipped with rare sequences.
However, the Three Tower guide seemed interested in Wen Xishu's "allegiance" issue.
"Tell us first, which head do you like?" The woman's head from the Desire Tower, looking slightly ingratiating, said.
The black Deceit Tower head's smile grew more solicitous, but also extremely sinister.
The red Slaughter Tower head, though not smiling, seemed to suggest with its gaze: "Choose me, or I'll kill you."
Wen Xishu was silent for a few seconds:
"Do I get a reward for choosing?"
The white head replied, clearly the most eager to communicate:
"You could say that. After you choose, your actions will be rewarded by us."
"In return, we'll help you within the corresponding tower system. For instance, if you choose me, you'll gain more when mingling in the Desire Tower."
"Occasionally, I can also provide you with some special information that will make you very comfortable."
This piqued Wen Xishu's interest:
"Can't I choose all of you? You all look very kind to me."
The word "kind" was new to the three heads. No matter how they transformed, being squeezed together had never made them seem kind.
The three heads shook in unison, almost colliding due to different frequencies. The red Slaughter Tower head said:
"It's a rule! You can only choose one."
Wen Xishu responded calmly and slowly:
"Tsk, then who should I choose? What are your advantages?"
The three heads were all stunned.
Then, the white head seemed to realize—they had been counter-chosen.
Historically, when humans climbed the tower, the first head they saw would be the default choice.
The majority of people…well, everyone except a rare few, only had one option.
Even if someone switched towers later, for instance from the Slaughter Tower to the Desire Tower, their guide choice wouldn't change.
Despite losing the guide's help and favor, many still wanted to go to the Desire Tower.
But Wen Xishu was undoubtedly worth their concern.
"Choose me, little brother. Everyone has desires. Don't you want to do as you please in the Desire Tower?"
The white head's words had a subtle hint.
Wen Xishu looked at the black head, which still had a sinister smile.
As Wen Xishu's gaze shifted, the red and white heads both angrily shouted:
"Old Three, you can't compete for this one! You already have one!"
The black head said:
"But at first, only the killing maniac could see me. He only saw you two later because of his efforts."
Wen Xishu was slightly surprised: "Who is this killing maniac? What's his name?"
"We can't reveal that. But if you choose me, maybe I can provide some information later."
The one called Old Three was indeed the black Deceit Tower head.
Wen Xishu understood.
Choosing a head meant choosing a specialization.
Choosing the white head meant gaining extra rewards and growth values in the Desire Tower.
The Desire Tower focuses on human desires. It is said that Wenren Mirror, the first on the Desire Tower ladder, has the ability to make everyone love him.
He is a stunningly charming person.
It's not just his innate appearance, but also the effect of the Desire Sequence.
Everyone would maintain goodwill towards him, love him, and like him.
However, despite this, even Wenren Mirror has targets he can't conquer in the high levels of the Desire Tower. He also has many tasks he can't achieve with a five or six-level completion.
This shows how difficult it is to please certain Three Tower people in the high levels of the Desire Tower.
Wen Xishu thought about it. Choosing a Desire Tower specialization wouldn't be bad.
But he preferred the Deceit Tower.
Fighting and killing, romance…neither of these appealed to him.
Bizarre, absurd, and unpredictable—that's what he loved.
Although the Desire Tower seemed to offer many things worth contemplating.
Wen Xishu believed that the high levels of the Deceit Tower would be more challenging.
Besides, in the short term, he probably couldn't escape the fate of exploring the Deceit Tower.
After returning to the Bunker, the leaders there would definitely push him to continue exploring the Deceit Tower.
"Although I want to let you keep selling your merits and core appeals, then decide who to hire…"
"But our needs are actually quite clear, so congratulations, you are hired."
The black head symbolizing deceit had a stiff smile. These words sounded a bit like reverse psychobabble.
The white head was obviously unhappy and stopped speaking, looking quite aggrieved.
The red head said:
"Though you didn't choose the noble Killing Sequence, at least you're not like those soft guys choosing indulgence."
After saying this, the red head closed its eyes and ignored Wen Xishu.
The black head chuckled sinisterly:
"Don't mind them. We from the Deceit Sequence don't follow common sense; that's the most noble."
Wen Xishu didn't want to waste any time:
"How do I complete the account registration?"
The black head said:
"First, you need to give me a codename."
"This is very important. Because exploring the Three Towers will yield material rewards, and all those materials will be marked with your codename."
"Additionally, you can make some adjustments to your body here."
Wen Xishu roughly understood. Essentially, everyone could use the materials, but they would see a note saying "This material belongs to xxx."
This was quite nice.
Wen Xishu started to ponder this issue. Usually, the codename shouldn't be his real name.
It's like how people don't use their real names from their ID cards when posting on forums.
Yet, his situation seemed different.
