Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Different Preliminaries
There were seven people remaining on the field.
Because they had agreed to distribute their props among those who lost, Number 6, 7, 14, and 24— who should have been eliminated—were still in the game.
The Inspector announced, “The winners of this game are three people, Number 3, 11, and 15. They have respectively,
Eliminated 25 people.
Received 42 puzzle pieces to distribute.
Received 38 props to distribute.
We now proceed to the rewards distribution—”
As he finished speaking, a dazzling orb of light appeared in front of each person.
The orb was gently floating and held within it puzzle pieces and props. All they had to do was extend their hands to obtain them easily.
In Bai Youwei’s orb, there were 14 puzzle pieces and 6 props.
She couldn’t help but sigh. She had been collecting for so long and had only managed to amass 23 puzzle pieces. But now, in just one game, she had received 14 more. It truly lived up to the name – a skirmish of the preliminary competition.
Everyone else also looked relieved.
For the four who were eliminated, while they lost their puzzle pieces, they were able to keep their own props and even received new ones. This was undoubtedly the best outcome.
Only Ya Chaohui looked dejected with no color of joy on his face.
Above them, the stone sphere on the roof made a full turn, the eye patterns on its body disappearing one by one. After the eliminated four got their props, they too vanished one by one.
Only the winning trio was left in the square: Red Eyes Bai Youwei, Blue Eyes Ya Chaohui, and a white person with Yellow Eyes.
According to the competition rules, there should’ve been five winners, but now there were only three.
The sphere was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but no matter what, this game had ended successfully and its harvest was quite bountiful. Rolling joyfully, it said to everyone:
“Congratulations to you all for winning this game! With your victory, the official beginnings of the Labyrinth War—
This will be a protracted contest where the King needs to vigorously expand his territory and the subjects need to choose a proficient sovereign; it’s only through their unanimity that victory can be achieved in the end.
The detailed rules will be introduced by the other Inspectors once you return to the Rest Hall.
You now have three minutes of preparation time. This is a special privilege granted to the winners~”
Three minutes of preparation time.
Since they now held so many puzzle pieces and props, those who intended to hide their strength obviously could not return to the Rest Hall immediately.
The white man with Yellow Eyes got a long twig among his props. It was hard to conceal, so he hurriedly ran to roll in the woods, returning dirt-streaked and with dried leaves in his hair. Holding the twig in his hand this way, it no longer stood out.
Ya Chaohui’s props were all quite small; he casually put them in his pocket, and some he carried on hand. Fang Yu’s death had hit him hard, and it seemed he was not quite himself: his mind seemingly not in the game.
Seeing him made Bai Youwei uncomfortable.
Although they were two insignificant people, almost strangers, but…under these circumstances, it was hard not to care.
Moreover, until now, she had used her rabbit only as a deterrent, never to kill, unless it was to fight against the game’s monsters.
This was the first time…she had doomed someone.
Bai Youwei glanced at Ya Chaohui, growing more irritable. She entered the voting cabin alone, opened her Doll House, and dumped all her puzzle pieces and props inside. When she emerged, she carried in her arms only her rabbit.
In the square, a giant square exit appeared, shimmering with pure white light.
The Inspector had disappeared.
One after another, the three of them walked into the square exit, stepping into the white light. When they opened their eyes again, they were back in that enormously vast white room.
This place, it turned out, was called the Rest Hall.
