Three Towers Game-Chapter 676 - 196: Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage

At the moment of catching the blade, the Miyamoto Family Patriarch actually felt a bit old.

Seeing the disdainful look in Albert's eyes and Wen Xishu's calm demeanor... he lowered his head:

"Take Yishu back."

Then, the Miyamoto Family Patriarch bowed to Albert and said:

"Our Miyamoto Family absolutely supports your decision, Dean Wen indeed qualifies to serve as Dean."

In Albert's eyes, the six major families meant nothing.

With just a casual glance, he understood the Miyamoto Family Patriarch's thoughts:

"Don't worry, today's incident suits my intentions perfectly. It's good to have a challenge."

Better to resolve one blow now than a hundred later.

It's also good for Wen Xishu to establish his authority today. The strength Wen Xishu displayed exceeded even his own expectations, naturally surpassing others' perceptions.

Now, no one dares to disrespect this new legend of the Bunker.

People will only describe this new legend of the Bunker in exaggerated terms, using phrases like "unfathomable" and "terrifying" to describe Wen Xishu.

Albert waved his hand:

"Go now, the party must continue. I won't make things difficult for your Miyamoto Family; you're not qualified enough. If I want to find someone, I will look for those above you."

"However, my disciple Xun Hui and my colleague Dean Wen are not magnanimous people, I advise you to be more honest."

The Miyamoto Family Patriarch lowered his head even more.

...

...

After the brief interlude, the following series of appointments proceeded smoothly.

Everyone returned to the original viewing area with a mixture of lingering excitement and lingering fear, and once again listened to Albert's announcements about the next arrangements.

The reform of the Bunker Security Bureau, the benefits adjustments for climbing the Deceit Tower and Slaughter Tower, and the policy that Desire Tower Climbers who cannot break through the thirtieth floor cannot purchase houses above the fifth floor, whereas climbers of the Deceit and Slaughter Towers can... and so on, were all presented in one go.

Regarding Wen Xishu's identity change, from Dean Wen, Advisor Wen, to even vaguely being perceived as one of the Five Elders.

No one paid much mind, as everything proceeded smoothly after the earlier incident.

But specifically... the elevation of benefits for climbers of the Deceit and Slaughter Towers, while limiting the highest residential level for Desire Tower climbers, triggered a significant reaction.

Students of the Desire Tower Academy immediately felt their Celestial Dragon People status was threatened.

"What does this mean? Those climbing the Deceit and Slaughter Towers can live on higher levels than us?"

"I am a noble Desire Tower Climber! How could I end up living beneath them?"

"Are they crazy? Previously, those climbing the Deceit Tower were all death row convicts and social outcasts. What does this mean now? Climbing the Deceit Tower is noble?"

"Did Wen Xishu use some tool or sequence to mess with the old dean's mind?"

"How are those climbing the Deceit Tower any different from beggars? How can they lord over us?"

"Let those despicable people from the lower levels climb the Deceit Tower, isn't that better?"

There were murmurs all around.

Of course, there were also mockers.

"Oh, what's wrong with the noble Desire Tower guys?"

"We climbers of the Slaughter Tower risk our lives for our achievements. Don't we deserve better housing?"

"Those who climb the Deceit Tower are death row convicts and outcasts because everyone knows how dangerous the Deceit Tower is! Look at this recent big devouring incident in the Deceit Tower; the Desire Tower's big devouring is obviously the simplest, yet every time it's the Deceit Tower having big devourings?"

"You can still climb the Desire Tower. The fifth floor isn't so bad; many people are proud to live on the fifth floor."

"Yeah, when we climbed the Slaughter Tower before, we thought it was an honor for our families to escape the lower levels and move to the third floor. What, you noble Desire Tower guys still look down on us? Feel free to go directly confront the old dean."

The lofty Desire Tower climbers wanted to curse and protest vehemently.

But on the stage, Albert merely cleared his throat, and the entire scene fell silent immediately.

There were many reasons for the previous situation.

The more comfortable the job, the higher the salary often was, and the more similar the jobs, the less operational requirements they usually had.

These were also the jobs that ordinary people often struggled to get into, losing their upward mobility.

This was a historical trend.

The Bunker couldn't escape this, but unlike conventional national forms, the Bunker had someone who could decide everything.

When a world has someone no military or force can oppose, this person can defy historical trends and forcibly rejuvenate a decaying institution.

Previously, Albert was disheartened and focused on improving himself, which turned the Bunker into a mess.

This was because his companion—Old Jin, seemed to have forgotten his original purpose.

But now, Albert saw another companion.

He finally felt that he could take a breather, and wait a bit for this companion.

In this brief respite, Albert reorganized the Bunker.

"Don't hold on to fantasies anymore; the Five Elders have already agreed with my approach. If you can't accept the lower status of Desire Tower people—then you can choose to surpass the thirtieth floor or switch towers."

"I have no issue with Desire Tower climbers, but I do have a problem with those who do simple tasks in the Desire Tower yet want to enjoy the highest treatment."

"From now on, your life is divided into easy things and the right things. If you choose the easy things, then you must accept the corresponding lowly status."
