Chapter 229: Let Me Teach You a Lesson
Translator: 549690339
Bai Youwei laughed at the Inspector, “What you know, others may not; what others know, you may not. The essence of this game is to have the knowledge bases of the players countering each other! Truly interesting~~ No wonder there’s a rule in the second round stipulates that the randomly chosen player by the pointer can transfer the right to choose the topic to any player who hasn’t been eliminated. So that’s what it’s for!”
The Inspector standing in the center of the rotating platform, his faceless mask half-exposed under the cloak, seemed to be looking at her, silent and motionless.
“This mustn’t be a bug.” Yan Qingwen suddenly interjected from the other side.
Bai Youwei was mildly stunned, looking at him.
Yan Qingwen continued, “Your method, under ideal circumstances may work, but don’t forget, there are 36 people playing the game, and they may not all know and trust each other. Without one hundred percent trust, how could they follow your commands to select the topics?”
Why would Tan Xiao choose “mathematics” if he wasn’t obedient to Bai Youwei?
The reason Tu Dan was able to lead her students to pass safely was because they trusted her, relied on her. Moreover, those students were classmates who spent day and night together, their knowledge overlap was very high!
But as for people like Bai Youwei, Yan Qingwen, and Fei Ge!
They came from different social classes, different cities, and had different educational levels! No possible way to cooperate!
At this moment, the Inspector announced the answer to the third question:
“The answer is D. Correct answers earn 1 point, incorrect answers lose 1 point. Players with zero points will be eliminated.”
This time, no one was eliminated.
The surviving 20 players all received a beautiful peach-pink heart.
The black pointer on the wheel began to rotate again.
As the pointer spun, the Gray Robe Supervisor’s hoarse voice echoed, “Ignorant humans…my game, in the end, has never been about how much knowledge you have, but trust between individuals.”
The pointer slowed down.
It gradually stopped.
Finally, it pointed to a crew-cut guy standing next to Fei Ge.
The Gray Robe Supervisor let out a cackle, as raspy as pouring sand into a coarse earthen jar.
“So…now, without trust, how are you going to make him obey you, to transfer the right to choose the topic to you?”
The corners of Bai Youwei’s mouth lifted into a disdainful smirk, “Did I hear that right? You designed such a lame game just to test the trust between people? Old man, the fool is you!”
She cast a sidelong glance at the crew-cut man who was targeted by the pointer, as if looking at an especially ridiculous object.
“Today I’m going to teach you a lesson. When you want someone to follow your commands, it’s never about trust, but…threat and temptation~”
A sound of the air splitting!
A streak of silver flashed by!
It was followed by a bang! A small knife flew towards the crew-cut man, deeply embedding itself in the gap between his legs!
Everyone knew how sturdy the metal chair was, yet the knife had plunged so deep into it! The handle was still vibrating from the remaining force!
The crew-cut man was shaking like a sieve; his whole face turned ashen! He was so frightened that he didn’t even make a sound!
It was Shen Mo who moved.
Yan Qingwen raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He had thought that Shen Mo was a “kind and gentle” officer.
Bai Youwei grinned at the crew-cut man: “As long as you do as I say, every one of us can pass the game with full marks, isn’t that great? So why hesitate? Unless…you want to die right here and now?”
The crew-cut man looked at her fearfully; large beads of sweat rolled down his face, too petrified to speak.
“Don’t listen to her!”
Fei Ge suddenly roared from the side:
“That man only has one knife! He can’t hurt you anymore!”
