As for rewards, they had received the bear's fish, the water monster's eggs, and the winter snowflakes, totaling three rewards. Moreover, Bai Youwei obtained the final reward, the golden key.
It seemed like a bountiful harvest.
However, considering the losses, Li Li's injuries, Lü Ang's injuries, Su Man's injuries, and Zhu Shu's injuries could all claim their lives at any moment.
It was the bandages and mud that saved them!
They had used their last life-saving bandage prop, and the mud in Shen Mo's hands had been used six times!
Were the rewards they received enough to offset their losses?
This mathematical problem was one that no one could solve.
“The description of this reward is vague. Before we figure out what the winter guest is, who would dare use this prop…” Li Li put the snowflake back into his pocket and continued, “However, those beads are quite practical. Whether used to hit people or monsters, they’re very convenient.”
“The Chinook salmon is also very good,” Zhu Shu gently interjected. “If we encounter underwater games in the future, the change in physique will be a great help.”
“Since the first two rewards are not bad, then the final reward shouldn't be too bad either,” Yan Qingwen added. “Although doll games are very dangerous, the rewards given each time are a great help to the players. There's no doubt about that.”
“Not every time, right? What about the gold coin from the Lucky Quiz last time?!” Li Li frowned in disgust. “That old man screwed us over!”
At the mention of the gray-robed old man, Yan Qingwen also fell silent.
“That was an accident,” Shen Mo said calmly. “It seems that as long as the players don't violate the rules, even if the Overseer has personal biases against the players, they must act within the system's rules. The Overseer gave us the gold coin, but the gold coin also brought opportunity. The system wouldn't allow purely punitive actions.”
Li Li couldn't help but mutter, “What exactly is the system?”
Shen Mo glanced at him. “That's the question your SCO needs to research.”
Hearing this, Li Li sighed heavily.
Sigh, this was a world-class problem.
The bonfire crackled and burned, the firelight reflecting on everyone's faces, some deep in thought, some puzzled, some tired and numb…
The silence lasted for a while.
Yan Qingwen asked, “What's the deal with the owner of the dollhouse? Can that golden key repeatedly open the dollhouse?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Bai Youwei.
It was impossible not to be curious about the final reward.
Bai Youwei had been leaning lazily against Shen Mo. Now, seeing so many gazes directed at her, she lifted her eyelids, then let them droop again. “I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?” Li Li raised his voice in surprise.
Bai Youwei looked at him again, her voice slightly cold. “You can guess, but I won't say.”
Everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere became a little stiff…
But there was nothing to criticize. When they came out of the game, the cooperation between the two teams had already ended.
Everyone had snowflakes, so it didn't matter if they shared their use, but there was only one golden key. Those who didn't get it weren't entitled to know its purpose.
After a long silence, Yan Qingwen suddenly chuckled.
He said, “It's fine if you don’t tell us. Human nature cannot withstand temptation, and I am not a saint. If it is a truly tempting reward, I might be unable to resist the desire to covet it, so it's better left unsaid.”
He smiled at Bai Youwei. “At least this way… we are still friends, right?”
Bai Youwei looked at him, then at Li Li, Lü Ang, Su Man, and Zhu Shu beside him.
After a moment, she gave a reluctant “Mm-hmm” from her nose.
