…The essence of the game?
Chang Weicai was stunned.
“It’s competition, Mr. Chang.” Bai Youwei sighed lightly, looking at Chang Weicai and Tu Dan as if she were looking at two naive children.
“Eliminate a group of people and let another group succeed. if that’s not competition, what is?” Bai Youwei said calmly, “Reward items will be part of the competition. If everyone has the ‘Frog Mud’, Mr. Chang, you will lose a significant advantage in the game.”
Tu Dan slowly recovered, her voice trailing off: “That’s right… indeed. Just like when everyone takes an exam, some people know how to solve a particular problem, and this knowledge becomes their scoring advantage. But if everyone knows, the advantage is totally lost.”
As soon as people realize this, they will never easily share information.
Because the next time the game begins, the person sharing the information might become their own competitor. To hold onto their advantage, they naturally need to keep the secrets of the game.
This is a very simple truth. It’s not that the people here can’t figure it out; it’s just that the world’s anomalies have only just begun, and everyone is still in a peace-and-love helping-each-other phase.
Of course, even end-of-the-world type helpers can provide assistance and love.
—End-of-the-world love and assistance is rarer, and therefore more precious.
Bai Youwei delicately cuddled the rabbit in her arms, sighing softly, “Ah… I wonder where that item that can summon beasts came from. I really want it.” The way Tu Dan gazed at Bai Youwei became much more guarded.
A girl who looked like a teenager dared to say such things… More importantly, her tone sounded very confident.
“I’m not too sure, he summoned a cat and a tiger once, to snatch mushrooms from us.” Tu Dan replied.
Bai Youwei seemed a bit disinterested, propping up her chin and said: “Ms. Tu, tell us about your other game.”
“What is it?” Bai Youwei looked at her, “Don’t tell me, you’ve only entered the game once. You said earlier, ‘Is there a game that isn’t dangerous?’ This tone doesn’t seem like someone who has only played once.” Tu Dan’s eyes widened, flabbergasted and shocked.
Did she say that? She didn’t even remember!
Bai Youwei: “It was you who said that, thanking Mr. Chang for saving your student with the item. You said you had no items to help us, so you offered to share information about the games as compensation—we shared one game each, which makes us even. However, if you still want to express gratitude, you should obviously share one more game, that’s logical compensation, right?”
It seems she’s run into a formidable character.
Tu Dan came down to give her thanks and divulge the games she’s been through in order to demonstrate sincerity and establish friendly relations with Shen MO and the others.
But being taken off track by Bai Youwei, it seemed as if she were deliberately hiding something. Not only did this trip not achieve the desired effect, but it may also leave a bad impression!
Even the most honest and simple Mr. Chang would doubt her sincerity due to this.
Unless she didn’t mind offending these people in front of her, otherwise… she really had no choice but to speak.
Tu Dan fell silent for a moment, weighing her options.
Tan Xiao and Mr. Chang looked at her curiously.
“Ms. Tu…” Mr. Chang asked in astonishment, “You and your students, have you encountered many games?”
“Impressive.” Tan Xiao also exclaimed, “I nearly lost my life encountering it once. You wouldn’t know it looking at you.”
Tu Dan finally gave a wry smile and replied, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you.
It’s just that game… even if I tell you, it won’t be of any help to you..”
