The world of the tower is not without YY novels.
For the aristocratic elites of the third level, they actually quite like to read various workplace novels.
The protagonist thrives in the workplace with cheat codes, such as perspective, mind reading, invisibility, and other strange cheat codes, or some sequences made up by novelists themselves, such as Sequence 1025 - The Chosen One, Sequence 1026 - Possessed by a Love Saint, Sequence 1027 - The World Stands Still, and other cheat codes.
Step by step, he fought back from being a noble to becoming... a manager.
Yes, in the Tower Era, the reason why urban novels were not very popular was that the upper limit of official careers was too low. Because even in novels, they did not dare to write about the story of the lower-class civilians becoming rulers.
So the story that happened to Bai Wu was outrageous.
In less than half a year, this new member of the Survey Corps who was keen on going out of the tower, who never flattered his superiors, formed cliques, or socialized, was about to step onto the fifth floor of the tower.
In Bai Wu’s own words, if he succeeds this time, he might be able to gain a great backer.
You know, Cain had been planning for many years in order to return to the fifth level and let his opinions influence the rulers.
…
…
Before heading to the fifth floor, Bai Wu went to see Yan Jiu again. It was not because Yan Jiu knew something about the fifth floor, and he could ask Qin Zong about these things.
I went to the mental hospital just because Liu Chengzi was teaching Yan Jiu the "tea art class" again.
And Bai Wu must at least tell Liu Chengzi about the matter between Li Zi and Chen Shuyue.
Everything was peaceful in the asylum. Bai Wu found it interesting that he seemed to be able to discover something different every time.
The comments of Prell's Eye on these people have not changed. They are all real lunatics. But after observing them several times before, Bai Wu discovered many details about these lunatics this time.
The scholar who was reading a book once again turned the book upside down, but the book had changed. Before, the man was reading a history book called "The Age Before the Tower". Now the book has become "The Age of the High Tower".
This means that this madman may not be pretending to read the book backwards, but is really reading the book, but he needs to read it backwards in order to concentrate.
Every time Bai Wu came in, there would be a man with snot bubbles grinning at him. This time, the man with snot bubbles grinning stopped smiling and had a sad face.
Bai Wu followed Snot Bubble's gaze and found that the two old men who were playing chess were no longer playing chess, but were playing cards instead.
This action seemed like a betrayal to Snotlout, as if a huge earthquake had occurred in the world.
Dr. Zheng Duoxi and the crazy nurse are the same as before. In order to prove that she is not crazy, Zheng Duoxi asks a madman to prove that she is not crazy. The madman's request is to pretend to be a madman.
If Jung Da Hee pretends well, the crazy nurse will say:
"You are a complete lunatic and I think you need some therapy."
If Zheng Daxi chooses to refuse, the nurse will say:
"You can't even pretend to be a lunatic, and you say you are a normal person?"
The two of them were clearly stuck in a vicious circle.
When opening the elevator, Bai Wu once again met the "manager" he had met in the mental hospital before.
The "Manager" said in the elevator last time:
"This elevator is broken. It used to be able to go up to 900 meters."
This time, too, after seeing the white fog, the woman said this again. This woman obviously mistook the elevator of the insane asylum for an elevator that went up to a certain level of the tower.
Bai Wu thought about it and decided to follow the other party's line of thought:
"Are you going to the fifth floor too?"
"The fifth floor..." Confusion appeared in the woman's eyes.
"The elevator has been repaired. We have already stepped into the air 900 meters above the ground. I am going to the fifth floor to meet the ruler. You too, right? I am going to meet the Xie family. Which family are you from?"
Bai Wu was just joking and said it casually. It was unknown whether the elevator the man in front of him was talking about was from the third floor to the fourth floor, or from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.
When they reached the sixth floor of the insane asylum, Bai Wu was suddenly stunned because the woman suddenly said something strange:
"The master said not to talk to the people of the Xie family."
Bai Wu pondered for a while. Could it be that this person had really been at the level of a ruler? He could understand why Yan Jiu was locked up in a mental hospital. After all, Yan Jiu was the blood of the Yan family.
But this man is just a manager. According to the cruel and evil style of the rulers, if this woman suddenly went crazy, shouldn’t she be thrown out of the tower directly in order to prevent her from leaking secrets
"Who is your master?"
The woman stopped talking.
Bai Wu decided to change his thinking:
"Well, actually I'm not from the Xie family, I'm from the Qin family."
"The master said not to talk to the Qin family."
"Then you have found the right person to talk to. I am actually from the Pang family."
"The master said not to talk to the people of the Pang family."
"What a coincidence! I'm not from the Pang family either. I'm from the Zhong family."
"The master said not to talk to the Zhong family."
"That's a good point, but I'm actually from the Liu family."
Bai Wu tried them one by one. If the Liu family wasn't right, he would say he was from the Wang family. If the Wang family wasn't right, he would try the Yan family. Until finally, when he tried the Zheng family, the woman widened her eyes and looked at Bai Wu.
"I haven't seen you. There is no you in the Zheng family."
"I am new here."
"I'm in charge of all the newcomers. You liar, I'm going to put you in a mental hospital."
Now Bai Wu was helpless, and the woman pressed the elevator button for the first floor.
The white fog did not continue to linger.
The fifth floor of the tower is where the rulers live for a long time. The eight families all have their own territories. For these people who are not at the ruling level, do they feel like they are walking on thin ice every day when they live on the fifth floor
"This woman looks like a housekeeper... All the newcomers are under her care, so why would she go crazy?"
Bai Wu was delighted to find a new discovery in the mental hospital. He stopped dwelling on the matter and prepared to talk to Liu Chengzi first.
…
…
As usual, Bai Wu listened to Liu Chengzi's tea art class outside the door for a while, wanting to know whether Liu Chengzi had taught Yan Jiu some strange knowledge on how to seduce men again.
Liu Chengzi's voice came out:
"Emotional intelligence is very important. It is reflected in the ability to resolve intense conflicts and mistakes quietly. People with high emotional intelligence can even turn a defeat around. I want to improve your emotional intelligence. It will only take a few minutes for you to defeat Bai Wu in the future."
"Oh, but how do I improve it?"
"Let's do an exercise first. I'll give you a question. Suppose I have two boyfriends, A and B, and I treat them both as backups. One day..."
"Sister Orange, I don't want two boyfriends, I just want Bai Wu."
"No! Isn't this just an example? Look at you, Bai Wu is not here, why are you so anxious?"
Yan didn't say anything for a long time, and Bai Wu smiled unconsciously outside.
"Let's continue. One night, both A and B asked me out, but I found an excuse, saying that I was not feeling well, and rejected B. I chose to have dinner with A instead.
Although I think A is boring and that he spent money to go to a place to eat a nutritious meal just for the atmosphere, but in order to keep him hanging, I still want him to think that I am very happy, so I sent a text message -
'Thank you for your hospitality, I love it and I have a great time today'.
But I accidentally sent it to the wrong person, and it went to person B’s phone. At this time, person B sent me a bunch of question marks, asking, “What should I do?”
Yan Jiu thought for a while:
"Then they must have broken up... He must have felt bad because he asked you out, but you said no, and then he found out that you were having dinner with someone else."
Liu Chengzi showed an expression of disappointment.
"Sister! The point of this question is not my private life, but how to resolve life crises with high emotional intelligence!"
"Oh. So what should I do?"
Yan Jiu nodded woodenly. She knew she should give an awkward but polite smile at this time. Although she couldn't smile.
"Simple, I sent another text message to B -
'I feel lonely at home. I just flipped through my old text messages and found a message in my draft box that I didn't dare to send out when we were dating because I was shy, but I couldn't bear to delete it. Thinking about myself at that time, I felt so funny. I sent it to you. I really missed you today. "
Although Yan Jiu was not happy, she had no problem pretending to be surprised. She probably understood Sister Chengzi's high emotional intelligence, but she was still surprised by the subtle and silent tea art.
Bai Wu smiled and shook his head, thinking that Liu Chengzi's ability to talk was comparable to his own.
He knocked on the door, and hearing the familiar rhythm of the knocking sound, Yan Jiu instantly stood up from his seat.
Liu Chengzi's smug expression froze. Why was it that every time he taught Xiao Jiu to do something bad, he was caught by Bai Wu
After opening the door and seeing the white fog, Yan Jiu blinked his eyes and his smile became more natural.
"Bai Wu, I was just learning speaking skills from Sister Orange."
Bai Wu nodded, walked into Yan Jiu's room, and sat opposite Liu Chengzi.
Liu Chengzi was thinking about how to explain, but Bai Wu didn't care at all. Yan Jiu's character couldn't be corrupted.
The most basic and core thing of the so-called Queen of the Sea and King of the Sea is not skills, but their attitude towards love.
Liu Chengzi and Yan Jiu are two completely different people, and he is not worried that Yan Jiu will become romantic and amorous because of Liu Chengzi.
"I went out of the tower a few days ago and met two people."
He didn't play pranks on her as usual, and his tone was unexpectedly serious, which made Liu Chengzi feel that Bai Wu seemed to be saying something very important.
"You saw a vision outside the fortress before, calling out the names of Little Moon and Chestnut, do you remember?"
Liu Chengzi's breathing became disordered instantly, and she asked in a trembling voice:
"You... did you see..."
"I met Shen Shuyue and Qu Li."
Bai Wu did not reveal everything. He did not elaborate on the tragedy of Chen Shuyue and Li Zi. It was not because he was afraid that Liu Chengzi would cry. After all, when Hai Hou heard the two names, her tears could no longer stop.
He just didn't want Liu Chengzi to be in a state of excessive grief and self-blame for the next few days.
Despite this, Liu Chengzi was still very sad when he knew that his two good friends had become evil.
Even in this fabricated story, the way Bai Wu described Chen Shuyue was completely different from the ruthlessness and indifference shown by Chen Shuyue.
But he was not lying. He had promised Li Zi that one day he would reunite the three sisters.
Yan Jiu also cried with Liu Chengzi.
Seeing Yan Jiu crying, Liu Chengzi immediately made herself appear less miserable. Bai Wu watched silently and suddenly discovered something.
His original intention was to let Liu Chengzi teach Yan Jiu so that Yan Jiu could correctly view his feelings towards people.
When people who lack love receive gifts, they are not surprised, but think about how to repay. Yan Jiu's childhood has reached the point where he is not just lacking love.
But now it seems that Liu Chengzi's openness to love saved Yan Jiu, and Yan Jiu's innocence and kindness also filled some of Liu Chengzi's inner regrets.
Liu Chengzi was very sad about the tragic experiences of Chen Shuyue and Qu Li, but he felt relieved with Yan Jiu around.
Bai Wu comforted her with a few words and then left.
He was going to the fourth floor next to meet Qin Zong, and then go to the fifth floor under Qin Zong's guidance.
…
…
Tower, fourth floor, Survey Corps headquarters.
Looking from the window of the black tower, the black towers looked like spurs and fangs. When the white fog arrived, Qin Zong was looking at the scene outside the window.
Fifty-nine, Qin Zong, white fog.
The experiences of these three are legendary. Wujiu is the youngest deputy commander of the Survey Corps, Qin Zong is the youngest commander of the Survey Corps, and Bai Wu is the youngest captain of the Survey Corps.
Qin Zong's expression was very solemn:
"Qingyu told me that you are going to the fifth floor because you found a very valuable clue outside the tower. This clue can only be mentioned to the Xie family. Why?"
Bai Wu shook his head and said:
"Captain, since it can only be mentioned to the head of the Xie family, you naturally cannot ask."
Qin Zong said:
"You'd better make sure that your intelligence is really valuable, and that this value will not affect the operations of the lower three floors. There are some things I haven't told you. There are a total of eight forces on the fifth floor of the tower, and the Xie family is the most low-key and the most dangerous."
"Bai Wu, I don't know much about you, but based on what you have done and Qing Yu's admiration for you, I am sure you are a rare talent. I believe that in the future the three of us can change the current state of decay in the tower, but this is subject to a prerequisite - we do not alarm those guys on the fifth floor."
"Their power is so strong that they can ignore the lower four levels. This gives those of us who want to do something for the lower level some room to play."
Bai Wu understood what Qin Zong said.
As long as he doesn't provoke the ruler of the fifth floor, Qin Zong is confident that he can govern the lower three floors of the tower.
This sounds like a very sad thing, but another meaning of this sentence is that if the rulers decide to do something, the order they have carefully established may be destroyed.
Now that he was going to the fifth floor, Qin Zong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
These words made Bai Wu believe that Qin Zong did have his own ideas, but as the son of a ruler, Qin Zong knew the gap between the fifth level and the lower four levels better than they did.
Bai Wu said nothing. Finally, Qin Zong sighed and said:
"I should have stopped you from going to the fifth floor, even though your actions may not have any political purpose. But Qingyu has been persuading me these days. I am giving face to my most trusted subordinate. Baiwu, you must seize the opportunity."
Bai Wu nodded, and Wu Jiu smiled beside him.
"I have already completed the procedures for going to the fifth floor. For some reasons, I cannot enter the Xie family with you. I will tell you where the Xie family is, but whether you can enter the Xie family and see the person you want to see depends on your performance."
Qin Zong said to Bai Wu very seriously at the end:
"The Xie family is very dangerous. Your trip is very risky. Their technology has reached the point where it can be integrated into the soul."

(ps: I didn't fulfill my boast before. From the Spring Festival to the fifth day of the first lunar month, I basically didn't have time to update twice a week, so I sincerely apologize to you all. But this month, I do plan to update more often. The plot has also been straightened out, and it just so happens that... After writing books for a few years, I have my first silver ally. To thank the book friends for their love and support, I plan to update as much as possible from the fifth day of the first lunar month to the end of March without getting stuck.)
