With a "ding dong" sound, the lid of the wooden box opened, revealing the empty bottom of the box.
Lin Sanjiu looked at it in shock. She still couldn't believe her eyes. She reached into the chest and touched it. It felt like an ordinary wooden chest. There was nothing inside.
'Does this mean that I didn't get anything? '
"Alright, the participants from Red Team and White Team who have drawn an item, please return!"
Mr. Dot's voice suddenly rang out. Even though Lin Sanjiu was full of doubts, she had no choice but to stand up. Before she left, she touched the chest out of curiosity. Luckily, Mr. Dot didn't see it, so he didn't say anything.
On the way back, she turned to look at the old lady who had just walked out of the white mist. She saw that the old lady was frowning deeply and seemed to be puzzled as well.
The moment Lin Sanjiu returned to the red semicircle, a few members of the Red Team came up to her and asked worriedly, "What did you get?"
Lin Sanjiu could only shake her head, indicating that she didn't know either. Fortunately, Mr. Dot spoke at the right time, "Now, let me announce the prizes for the Red and White teams … Congratulations to the Red Team for obtaining a 'PASS' opportunity. You can be exempted from one mission in the game. The White Team is not so lucky. You have drawn a 'Witch's Curse'. The next time you get two points in a row, you will have one point deducted. "
Aside from Lin Sanjiu and B.Rabbit, the other four members of the Red Team heaved a sigh of relief. Their expressions were much more relaxed. Even though the White Team's punishment wasn't too severe, they managed to find some balance.
"Since we aren't at a disadvantage, it's not a bad idea to play." Unexpectedly, Big Belly, who had been standing in the corner, spoke up. He rubbed his hands together. Even though he tried his best to suppress his excitement, it still leaked out. "As long as we win the competition, we can earn other people's abilities and items. Aren't you guys tempted?"
Everyone was stunned by his undisguised honesty. The short-tempered man licked his lips and glanced at the White Team. He mumbled, "That's true … That big guy over there looks very strong. It would be great if I could get his ability."
The big guy was undoubtedly Hai Tianqing. Even though they hadn't known each other for a long time, they had fought side by side. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help glancing at the short-tempered man, feeling a little uncomfortable.
A bitter smile appeared on the fair skin. He said softly, "But isn't that equivalent to harming others to benefit oneself … Sigh."
Her bangs tugged at his sleeves and advised softly, "Hubby, these are the rules of the competition … We didn't set them. As for me, as long as I don't lose. I'll be satisfied. "
Her words were quite skillful. In this kind of competition, not losing was equivalent to winning. To put it bluntly, the meaning of the uniform bangs was exactly the same as the other two, but it sounded more comfortable. As expected, the other two nodded their heads vigorously in agreement. The fair-skinned man couldn't say anything else, and the few of them reached a consensus after a few words.
Even though everyone had been assigned to the same team, it was only at this moment, driven by benefits, that they felt a sense of unity against a common enemy. Big Belly stretched out a fat palm and said with a smile, "My surname is Wang. I used to have a few companies … but now, let's not talk about them."
"Oh, it's Director Wang!" The short-tempered woman called out directly and shook his hand. "My surname is Chen. Just call me Xiao Fan. I'm an impatient person, so please forgive me. "
"Ahem, just call me Old Wang. There's no need for Director Wang!" Old Wang said as he extended his hand to Liu Bangs.
Of course, Liu Bangs would rather die than shake his hand. She pulled her clothes that were soaked by the rain and hid behind her boyfriend. She said uncomfortably, "My name is Lara Lien. This is my boyfriend … Zhong Junkai."
Old Wang replied, "Oh?" He glanced at the fair-skinned Zhong Junkai and seemed to have thought of something. Then, he extended his hand to Lin Sanjiu, "Miss —"
"My surname is Lin." Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and glanced at Old Wang's hand. The latter paused for a moment and shrunk back.
In terms of appearance, Lin Sanjiu was much prettier than Lara. However, Lin Sanjiu was dressed in a singlet and a pair of boots. She didn't look feminine at all, and her neck and shoulders were wrapped in bandages. She exuded a cold and dangerous aura. Naturally, she didn't look as feminine as the fair-skinned and innocent Lara. After a while. A few people gathered around her and chatted.
After they got to know each other, the atmosphere became much warmer. Even though they were still in the pocket dimension, they all had smiles on their faces. Glancing at the direction of the White Team, he realized that it was almost the same over there. Other than Hu Changzai and Hai Tianqing, the rest of them had their eyes lit up, looking eager to try. It seemed that they had also treated the Red Team as a plate of meat.
Lin Sanjiu pretended to look around and walked a few steps away. She whispered to B.Rabbit, who was on her shoulder, "Let's make a bet."
B.Rabbit wasn't in a good mood. Everyone had introduced themselves but he was the only one that was left out. He looked unhappy, "What bet?"
"How long can this friendly atmosphere last?" Lin Sanjiu's smile sent a chill down B.Rabbit's spine, "Didn't you notice? Those ten rules are very strange. There are a lot of restrictions on the members of the same team. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that defeating your opponent isn't enough in this game … Besides, this kind of relationship is too fragile. I'm guessing that the atmosphere will change completely in the second round of the game. "
B.Rabbit's eyes widened. He was shocked, "So fast?"
"That's right. You're small, so it's easy for people to ignore you when you don't talk. I hope you can help me keep an eye out. " Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "I have an observation ability, but I don't know why … I can't use it after I woke up."
When they were fighting in the oasis, she vaguely heard Mrs. Manas's voice asking her if she wanted something … She almost forgot about it when she woke up. However, Lin Sanjiu soon realized that something was wrong. When she tried to enter the [Garden of Higher Consciousness], all she saw was a lifeless gray blur. It was as if the ability was completely sealed.
When she thought about it carefully, it was unbelievable that she could destroy the oasis with her ability. This must have something to do with the fact that the [Garden of Higher Consciousness] was sealed … However, before she could figure out what was going on, they had to barge into the pocket dimension again.
Mr. Dot's enthusiastic voice rang out again, "I'm very happy to see everyone chatting so enthusiastically. Since everyone is more familiar with each other, it's time for the first round of the game! "
They knew that they couldn't see anything. However, there were still a lot of nervous and expectant gazes directed towards the depths of the white fog.
"The name of the first round of the game is —"
[Destiny Depends on Person's Doubles]
Game Description: Doubles is a very popular board game. The most famous one is "Monopoly". In a normal Doubles game, the two players throw dice. Whoever reached the end first would be the winner. However, the gameplay of "Destiny Depends on Person's Doubles" is slightly different —
In the territories of the red and white teams, a "path" consisting of 16 squares will appear. Players will start from both ends and reach the end of the path. In other words, there was a separate little square at the dividing line — that was the end.
Players will start from the first square of their team. The first player to cross 16 squares and reach the end square will be the winner.
However, the number of squares they can advance depends on their opponent.
"What?" Just as Mr. Dot finished his sentence, the red and white teams exclaimed in surprise.
"Whoever reaches the end first wins … If it were me, I wouldn't let my opponent reach the end, right?" Lara looked at her boyfriend with a puzzled expression.
However, Mr. Dot did not finish his sentence.
The rules of the game: When determining the number of squares the opponent can advance, The minimum number is 1 and the maximum number cannot exceed the number of squares left. For example, if the opponent is standing on the second square, then the maximum number of squares that can be reported is 16-2 = 14, which is the square before the end. It is not allowed to not report the number of squares, report the number of squares as 0, or ask the opponent to move back.
"In other words, even though the opponent controls the number of squares they can advance, they can still advance … at least one square," Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. "The white team decides the number of squares we can advance, but at the same time, we also decide the number of squares that the white team can advance …"
"To ensure absolute fairness, there is no such thing as who goes first in this game." Mr. Dot's voice was full of smiles. "After the red and white teams report to me, I will announce the number of squares they can advance. Then, both of them will advance at the same time. This way, there is no such thing as who goes first … If both of them reach the end at the same time, the winner will be decided by a duel. "
Minimum number of players required for this game: 2
Maximum number of players required for this game: 2
"What kind of game are you talking about? Don't we still have to use force to decide the winner? " Lara's brain worked quickly. She wiped the water off her face and complained, "Who would let their opponent advance a few more squares? They must reach the end at the same time and then duel …"
"Don't worry, this round of the game. I don't think anyone will let you go up, "Zhong Junkai comforted her gently. On the other side, Chen Fan raised his voice and said, "If we are going to duel, of course, we have to rely on men."
On the ground not far away, as if they had received orders from someone, paths formed by squares appeared one after another. Just like what Mr. Dot had said, at the intersection of the two paths, there was a yellow finishing square that stood out from the rest.
However, other than the finishing square, every square had a question mark written on it. No one knew what it was …
"Is everyone ready? Please decide who you want to play in five minutes! "
Mr. Dot's words marked the beginning of the first round of the game. (To be continued.)
PS:
I want to update earlier today because I want to save my draft … I feel so guilty facing 2015 empty-handed! By the way, since we've come to this point, I'd like to remind everyone that this match is basically a scam … If you guys have the money, you might as well give it to me … Well, shamelessness is also one of my skills. It's never a bad thing to have more skills.
Lastly, I would like to thank Qing Xiaoxiao for her two pink cards. Thank you!
