Round after round
Each person chosen by the pointer granted the power to choose the questions to Tan Xiao.
Because Tan Xiao’s mathematics knowledge was pitifully lacking, to ensure the correct rate of the person choosing the question, the system had to continuously decrease the difficulty of the questions.
Multiplication was the highest it could go, and even then, they only dared to introduce division with two-digit numbers.
As the 36 compulsory questions were gradually reaching their end, everyone remained in a perfect state, with sixty little pink hearts glittering beautifully and neatly across the field.
By the last few questions, even without the rabbit looming ominously before the players, they would automatically choose to pass on the power to choose the question.
Because they all understood that as long as they held on, they would clear the game!
The last question was finally over.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Youwei called back the plush rabbit, carelessly stroking its ears, her tone casual and airy:
“This is not a game of intelligence. It tests not knowledge, but human hearts. Whoever controls the hearts controls the game, and players can only be led around by the nose. However, it’s a shame…”
She looked at the Inspector, her mouth curled in a hint of smugness: “This time, the controller is not you, it’s me.”
The Inspector watched her silently.
“Let’s.” Bai Youwei softly squinted her eyes, returning to her lazy demeanor, “Settle the game, and remove these metal bracelets. It’s very uncomfortable having them on.”
As her words fell, the metal chairs unlocked with a clicking sound, and everyone was free.
They climbed off the metal chairs one by one, their expressions filled with disbelief as they watched each other, their eyes confirming that they truly escaped the danger.
The grey-robed Elder congratulated them with his raspy voice: “Congratulations on clearing this game.”
Everyone was somewhat uncertain.
Happy? Of course, they were happy. However, more than that, they felt lost.
How many more such games were there?
Would the next game be as lucky as this?
The grey-robed Elder stood unmoving at the center of the carousel, speaking in his usual tone: “The total number of players who cleared this game is twenty, each can receive a Lucky Question Card.”
A card immediately appeared in Bai Youwei’s hand. It was the size of a poker card, without a pattern, and had a black center with red edges.
[Lucky Question Card: It allows you to ask a question once to any player. The person who is asked must answer correctly. Otherwise, they are penalized by not being able to act freely for 60 seconds. If they answer incorrectly a second time, they are penalized for 120 seconds; a third time for 180 seconds. The restriction is lifted afterward.]
Bai Youwei stuffed it into her bag, feeling that she had gained another useless thing.
It was obviously a defensive item, and it could only be used once. It was utterly useless!
It was completely disproportionate to the effort she had put in~
She looked up at the Inspector, couldn’t help asking: “Isn’t there an extra reward for the person with the highest score? I remember there being some sort of brocade bag?”
Everyone stared at the Inspector in surprise.
“Brocade bag, that is the only…” the grey-robed Elder slowly said, “However, I can give you a better reward.”
He raised his arm, revealing a hand wrapped in bandages from under his sleeve.
The bandages were an old yellow-brown and his fingers looked skinny. It looked like the bandages were not wrapping a hand, but a long-buried skeleton.
He opened his hand, revealing a gleam of gold in his palm—-
It was a shiny gold coin!
About the size of a one yuan coin, pure golden in color, with something engraved on it.
“In this round, everyone scored perfect. There is no highest score. Hence, whom should I give this to?” the grey-robed Elder looked at the crowd, passing his gaze from one to another. “Should I give it to you? …Or you? …What about you? …And you…”
In the end, he paused in front of Tan Xiao, chuckling in a raspy voice.
“I’ll give it to you young man. You asked the most questions in this round. I believe your courage and wisdom are deserving of this reward.”
