Chapter 1498 - 481: The Curtain Falls on Infinite Mansion

Chapter 1498: Chapter 481: The Curtain Falls on Infinite Mansion

Time begins to flow again.

Or rather, the game pause is finally over.

Scorpio disappeared suddenly at some unknown time.

By rights, Wen Xishu had already reached a partnership with Scorpio, and before leaving, Scorpio should have sent Maeve to Wind City.

But Maeve is still here.

"Hey... why did you suddenly teleport?" Maeve was surprised.

During the game pause, Maeve had no memory at all. So, in Maeve’s view, Wen Xishu seemed to have suddenly teleported a distance.

Wen Xishu was still pondering how to get Scorpio to send Maeve to Wind City.

Suddenly, the Scorpion Knife vibrated. Information appeared in Wen Xishu’s eyes.

[Damage analysis ability cancelled, translation ability cancelled, currently acquired ability: teleportation array.]

Not only that, Wen Xishu also heard Scorpio’s voice.

"Brother, I’m giving you a chance to showcase your Divine Skills. This large-scale teleportation ability belongs to Capricorn, but I can simulate it too. Of course, if you turn him into an NPC, I can do more. As for others, I will personally help convey your messages."

"Pleasant cooperation, may we have a thousand troops and horses when we face Leon."

Scorpio’s ability had to be said to be quite strong.

Wen Xishu said:

"Maeve, I’ll send you to Wind City."

Maeve happily said:

"Great, now I’m not worried anymore. This journey must be quite long, but it won’t feel boring with you here."

Wen Xishu smiled and shook his head:

"Not so long, off you go."

A vortex appeared, and inside the vortex, Wind City’s unique blood-red sky could be seen.

"Go ahead."

Maeve was amazed: "You’re bringing some game ability into reality, aren’t you?"

"What are you... a god?"

Wen Xishu said:

"You’re already on Wind City’s whitelist, as for me, you’ll know once you get to Wind City. Good luck, Maeve. Whatever you need, just ask the people in Wind City, they will help you gather it."

"I hope you can make Wind City stronger."

Maeve nodded in shock, momentarily forgetting to speak, but she was bold enough and trusted Wen Xishu enough, already halfway through the vortex.

The feeling was so amazing.

"Wow, half in Deep City, and half in Wind City!"

Wen Xishu also found it remarkable.

Scorpio could pause the game, teleport on a large scale, and create a geographical advantage chessboard... his abilities were too comprehensive.

Soon, Maeve reached Wind City and the vortex disappeared.

Wen Xishu also wrapped up this mission.

Since Scorpio would help contact people he encountered, the necessity of remaining to explore Deep City was gone.

Upon reflection, Wen Xishu found this mission significantly harder than his previous one in Hujiang, and he suddenly became curious about this time’s reward.

...

...

Three Towers Company.

When the elevator reached the library, Gua Shisan said:

"Congratulations, it feels like your Gua Qi title is about to upgrade to Gua Five."

"The company will soon recruit a batch of new employees, this time, you might appear as an interviewer. I heard this from Gua Er."

Gua Shisan was responsible for guiding Gua Qi—Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu frowned:

"Didn’t I already breached the Infinite Building, why hasn’t Deceit Five returned?"

Gua Shisan looked a bit somber:

"Dead."

Wen Xishu was confused:

"Dead? How did he die?"

Gua Shisan said:

"Died due to time. You’re strong, I’m sure now, even if you are a relationship-based hire, you have the skills to make others respect you."

"However, although you completed the mission alone, you spent several days doing so, and in those days..."

"The senior Deceit Five has been in reality for over seven days. Killed by the rules."

Wen Xishu was shocked.

Is it possible to die like that?

Gua Shisan sighed:

"Life is always full of regrets, feels like... many rules are intentional, making people uncomfortable, right?"

"I really hate this, the feeling of almost winning but not surviving. Really... hate it."

Wen Xishu didn’t speak.

Because he had experienced similar situations.

Soon, he arrived at the Qilin’s office.

Judging by the contrast of black and white, this time’s Qilin was still Mo Bai, not changed into "White Mo" like when completing the task last time.

Upon seeing Wen Xishu, Qilin said plainly:

"You’re excellent, Wen Xishu, you’ve perfectly completed the task this time, not only dealing with the target but also dismantling the target’s obsession."

"Thank you, I now officially appoint you as Deceit Five."

Wen Xishu didn’t see much difference between Deceit Five and Gua Qi.

"So, the rank change is just altering a number?"

Qilin shook his head:

"Of course not, your Three Towers company badge will be upgraded, now your authority is higher, next time your range of activities will be larger, and there will be an additional allowance."

"You’ve also received the company’s recognition this time, your sequence will be upgraded."

Wen Xishu checked his panel.

Though his level didn’t change at all.

But now, he had a sequence with a Three Phases suffix.

Slaughter Sequence 199·Ultimate Kick·Modified (Three Phases).

This was the reward Wen Xishu received.

Wen Xishu said:

"Is the company’s reward so frugal? What about my mission points?"

Qilin raised an eyebrow:

"Frugal? This reward is the first time I’ve seen it. You probably don’t understand what Three Phases is, simply put, this sequence can be used in Deceit Tower, Slaughter Tower, and Desire Tower."

"It’s equivalent to gaining a Three Tower Sequence. Is that frugal? Also, because the mission reward is substantial, your points converted into a sequence upgrade."
