Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Find an Opportunity to Surrender
After listening to everyone’s story, the teacher sighed deeply:
“The road ahead is long and winding, to win all these battles, the task is arduous and the journey far exhausting!”
Du Lai frowned and said to Fu Miaoxue, “In the next battle, look for an opportunity to surrender.”
“Why?” Fu Miaoxue pouted, “Isn’t it good to be a king?”
“It’s not.” Du Lai didn’t indulge her as he usually did, his tone serious, “If the king’s puzzle is lost completely, they will die. Surrender in the next battle, then lose the game as a subject, that way, you can become a commoner and completely withdraw from the war.”
“But if we win as king, we will have supreme power!” Fu Miaoxue scrunched her brows slightly, unwilling, “At that time, we can do whatever we want, play the game or not, we can revert to being human, and resurrecting our families and friends wouldn’t be difficult…”
“It’s good enough as it is now,” Du Lai interrupted her, “Let others be king, it doesn’t matter if our bodies are impaired, it doesn’t matter if our families and friends are gone, as long as we two are together, we can have a good life without being king. Most importantly, I don’t want to see you risking yourself in any way.”
Fu Miaoxue was deeply moved, holding back tears, she buried herself in Du Lai’s arms, “Du Lai, I love you so much!”
Du Lai hugged her: “I love you too.”
These two never cared about the glances of others when they were being lovey-dovey.
“Such touching love~” Bai Youwei impassively threw cold water on the scene, “but when players become commoners, their puzzles and props will be confiscated. Are you sure that you two can live well in such a world without any props?”
Fu Miaoxue frowned disapprovingly, “Why are you so annoying!”
Bai Youwei rolled her eyes, “You’re even more annoying than I am.”
Fu Miaoxue got angry and poked at Bai Youwei’s sore spot, “You cripple!”
Bai Youwei retorted without courtesy, “You’re full of prosthetic limbs.”
Fu Miaoxue abruptly stood up, “You!…”
Seeing that a quarrel was about to start, the teacher hurriedly stood up to mediate, “Ah, don’t quarrel… don’t quarrel, Du Lai, Shen Mo, you guys intervene!”
Both boyfriends stayed silent.
Seeing this, the teacher coughed lightly and tried to mediate, “As the proverb goes, brothers should forget grudges at the sight of each other, laugh and forgive each other. We’re all fellow countrymen, and now the big battle is imminent, we should help each other even more, why harm our harmony by arguing over words? Come on, sit down… let’s all sit down and talk…”
Du Lai gently pulled Fu Miaoxue.
Fu Miaoxue sat down with a huff, marking yet another grudge against Bai Youwei in her heart.
Shen Mo calmly said, “Let’s get back to the game. Everyone must have noticed it by now. From the multitude of players in the prelims, it’s apparent that the puppet game has a global scope. If we want to break free from this game system, there’s only one way, and that’s to become the final king.
No matter who the final king is, as long as no games emerge within their territory, the surviving people can live peacefully as before. But we all know that this possibility is slim because no one can guarantee what the person who becomes the king will do to this world.
If I were to be the king, I would hope that the world could return to its original state, and the puppet game would disappear completely. I want to know, what kind of world would you want if you were to be the king?”
Fu Miaoxue scowled, “Are you joking? If I were to be the last king, I would have had to endure countless life-and-death crises, and gone through a lot of hardships to finally gain supreme power. Why would I be so stupid as to let the world return to its original state? I must occupy the pinnacle of power; no one must disobey my orders! Otherwise, how could I justify my efforts?”
