Luck,
Was illusory but it could sometimes determine a person's fate.
Tang Mo once wondered if his face was a bit dark. For example, the first time he participated in an assembly instance, he was unlucky enough to be used as a model by the black tower. He was forced to join forces with Fu Wenduo to fight against 19 black tower players. But he never really said that his luck was bad.
The players who could live to the present,
None of them had bad luck.
The earth had been online for half a year.
The people who could live to the present, strength and luck were indispensable. In many cases, luck was more important than strength. The returnees were a group of people with extremely bad luck.
They weren't weaker than Earth players but because they didn't enter the game in the first three days,
They were ruthlessly thrown into another world by the black tower.
They experienced a cruel fight for survival.
Now Santa Claus said,
This die could increase a person's luck.
Tang Mo's breathing quickened.
He remained calm on the surface as his eyes swept over the other players in the house.
The players' faces,
The greed and eagerness in their eyes couldn't be concealed.
The value of this die was beyond their imagination. If the owner of this die wasn't the powerful Santa Claus, these players would undoubtedly try their best to take it away.
Santa looked down at the players with kind eyes, seemingly not seeing the greed in their hearts. He laughed loudly and said, "My lovely children, come and roll the dice. Let this wondrous die bestow upon you luck.
This is the only gift Santa can give you. "
No one dared to move first.
Desire made people let down their guard.
A player couldn't help asking, "Is it okay to just roll the die?"
"Of course. You just need to walk up,
He picked up the die and threw it into the air. The magic die will give you the correct number and give you this luck. "
The group looked at each other. Finally, someone couldn't help but swallow and walk up. He carefully reached out and picked up the huge die. He exclaimed, "Hey, it is so light."
The weight of the die wasn't as heavy as the players imagined. It was light as if it was made of foam. The player threw the die into the air. The die rolled five times before falling to the ground, revealing a number.
"Wow, what a lucky child." Santa Claus touched his thick white beard. "You must be an honest child, that's why the magic die gave you a '5'. Congratulations, my good boy! "
A dazzling white light leaped out from the number "5" on the die and flew towards the player with a whoosh. The player subconsciously reached out and caught the white light. The white light turned into a small die in his hand. There was only a red number "5" on each side of the die.
The player asked blankly, "That's it?"
Santa Claus nodded. "Of course, child, you have received great luck. Who else wants to give it a try? "
The players let down their guard. "Let me do it!"
One after another, seven or eight players stepped forward to throw the dice. The players who tossed a large number smiled excitedly, while the players who tossed a small number looked unhappy. Tang Mo was about to step forward to throw the die when a white figure suddenly rushed in front of him. Bai Ruoyao picked up the huge die and turned around, as if he had just discovered that Tang Mo wanted to throw the die.
The baby-faced youth asked innocently, "Tang Tang, do you want to roll the dice?"
Tang Mo looked at him with no expression.
The baby-faced youth was very generous. "Then I will let you roll the die first. After all, we are good friends. Isn't that right, Tang Tang?" There was a malicious smile on his handsome face. It was clear that throwing the die was purely luck and the black tower couldn't allow players to cheat. However, Tang Mo felt that as long as he took the die from Bai Ruoyao's arms, his luck would be stolen by this snake.
Thus, he didn't move and just stared coldly at Bai Ruoyao.
The baby-faced youth pretended to hold his heart and was about to cry that Tang Mo misunderstood him. He clearly wanted to be modest and didn't want to do anything bad. Unexpectedly, a pair of slender hands suddenly took the die from his arms. Bai Ruoyao's expression froze and he turned to the side.
The woman in black with a ponytail smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Then I won't be polite, fly."
Bai Ruoyao, "…"
Fly your sister!
Mu Huixue raised the die with one hand and threw it into the air.
The die fell to the ground.
Mu Huixue wondered, "5? Not bad. "Mu Huixue handed the die to Chen Shanshan, who was standing not far away. Chen Shanshan was stunned and didn't understand how this returnee noticed her. Mu Huixue smiled and said, "The child will go first." Then she put her hands in her pocket and left with a smile. She walked to Bai Ruoyao's side and whispered, "Fly," before walking away.
Chen Shanshan still pretended not to know Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. She threw the die and the number was 5.
Fu Wensheng threw the die and the number was 2. The child's face darkened and his lips twitched angrily.
Bai Ruoyao was excluded from the player circle and Fu Wensheng gave the die to an unknown player. After a few more people, it was Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's turn. Tang Mo took a deep breath and threw the die into the air. Once the number '1' appeared in front of him, his eyelids twitched and he didn't express his position. He just handed the die to Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo's luck was better and he threw a '4.'
Finally, it was Bai Ruoyao.
The baby-faced youth threw it and a dazzling number '6' appeared in front of everyone.
Tang Mo glanced at Bai Ruoyao lightly and Bai Ruoyao smiled and winked at him.
Santa waved his hand and put the magic die into his pocket. The players watched as he took the die away. Even if they were reluctant, they didn't dare stop him.
Santa Claus said, "Now that the children have received Santa's last gift to you, then … there is only this left, the last room of the candy house." He moved his huge body to the side, revealing a tall door. Santa's throat overflowed with a hoarse and strange laugh. Tang Mo thought he heard wrong and looked at Santa again. The latter still had a kind appearance.
He saw the white-bearded old man wearing a red Christmas dress laugh and shout, "Merry Christmas!"
Then he pushed open the door.
There was a squeak and the door slowly opened to both sides. The dazzling white light pierced the eyes of every player and Tang Mo couldn't help narrowing his eyes. Once he saw the things in the room, he saw a huge rainbow lollipop floating in the middle of the room.
The size of this lollipop exceeded everyone's imagination.
This was the ninth room that the players visited. The first eight rooms were the same size and the decorations were the same. Only the sweets and desserts were different. However, the size of the ninth room was twice that of the first eight rooms. There was only one lollipop in the entire room. It was hanging from the ceiling and touching the ground as it slowly floated in the air.
The thick sweet smell of sugar filled the room. There was obviously only one candy but the sweetness far surpassed the previous eight rooms.
Santa proudly raised his chest and proudly introduced, "This is the treasure of my store, Santa's lollipop! It is also a prop, but it is too precious. Children, you can't touch it. If you touch it, I will be angry. I will be very, very angry. "Santa was still smiling when he said this, but none of the players felt that he was joking. That hidden killing intent made one's hair stand on end.
Santa Claus said, "Many children in the Underground Kingdom dream of seeing this lollipop but I never allow it. This is a magical lollipop, and also my proudest creation. Even the great Schrodinger can't make such a great lollipop. Whether it is the sweetness of the candy, the colours of the rainbow patterns or the number of circles, it is simply a perfect work of art. Today, children, you are so lucky. I allow you to see this lollipop. "
They couldn't touch the lollipop because Santa would be angry if they did.
This seemed to be a death flag.
The players didn't want to see a lollipop that wasn't allowed to be touched but Santa forced them to see it. Everyone cautiously stayed a few metres away from the lollipop, afraid to get close for fear of touching it. Fortunately, no one touched it and Santa took everyone back to the door of the room.
Standing in front of the huge lollipop, Santa sighed. "I haven't seen such obedient and sensible children in a long time. You are too honest and kind. All good children should be happy. There are still three hours before the closing time of the Quirky Commercial Street. Children, do you want to play a game? "
A player asked, "Can this game let us take away the luck bestowed by the magic die?"
Santa was surprised. "The luck bestowed by the magic die can be taken away?"
The players were stunned.
The black tower clearly said that Santa seemed to have a way to solve this problem. Now Santa actually didn't know. Was the black tower lying or did the 'seems' mean that Santa didn't know how to solve it?
A low male voice was heard in Tang Mo's ears. "Santa is very dishonest."
Tang Mo nodded and looked at Fu Wenduo. "Is it related to the game to play?"
The two of them glanced at each other and understood each other's meaning.
At present, it seemed that in order to take away the luck bestowed by the magic die, players had to participate in Santa's game.
Santa continued to pretend to be stupid and the players gradually discovered that Santa wasn't a good boss. Someone couldn't help asking, "What kind of game is it?"
Santa's voice stopped abruptly and he looked down at the player who interrupted him. The dark eyes reflected the thin figure of a female player. Santa quietly looked at her for two seconds and the female player felt a chill down her spine. Her legs almost softened and she almost knelt down. Santa smiled again. "This is one of the most famous games in the Underground Kingdom."
Tang Mo raised an eyebrow.
The honest card game, the happy question and answer game … now there was the most famous game in the Underground Kingdom?
There were a lot of famous games in the Underground Kingdom.
Santa said, "Every year, many children come to my candy house to play this interesting game. Come with me, children. Let's go back to the starting point of the game. "
Santa led the 19 players back to the door of the candy house according to the order in which they visited the previous houses. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo followed the crowd and walked through the nine houses. Gradually, Tang Mo felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Wait, the distribution of these houses, the size of these houses, a total of nine …
Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo with astonishment and found that Fu Wenduo was also aware of it.
At this time, Santa laughed rudely. "Yes, it is Santa's Hopscotch Game!"
All the players were startled.
Most of the players present had played the hopscotch game before.
This was a very popular childhood game. They only needed to use a stone to draw nine squares on the ground and they could play it anytime, anywhere.
Santa's candy house was a natural playground.
It had a total of nine rooms. The first three rooms were in a row while the fourth and fifth rooms were side by side. The sixth room was in a row while the seventh and eighth rooms were side by side. Finally, it was the ninth room. It was the largest room. It was twice the size of the front room because it included the area of the seventh and eighth rooms.
Tang Mo walked through the nine rooms for the second time and found that the layout of the nine rooms was exactly the same as the hopscotch game.
Obviously, the players present had also played the hopscotch game. Santa didn't seem to know that this game was very common and he happily introduced the rules of the game. "There was a child who wanted to play hide-and-seek in my candy house. As a result, my candy house was too big and it took me three days to find his body in the sea of chocolate beans. Since then, I no longer let the children play hide-and-seek in the candy house. I invented a fun game for them, hopscotch! Do you see these nine rooms, children? "
The group didn't say anything. Santa wasn't angry. He moved sideways and smiled. "This is your playground."
Rumble!
The ground shook violently and the walls of the candy house made a deafening sound. They seemed to collapse and sink to the ground. At the original location of the nine houses, the houses had all disappeared. Instead, nine blue patterns of the same size as the houses had appeared. These patterns outlined rectangular rooms. Only the houses disappeared but the original things in the house were still there. There was a chocolate fountain, a glass sugar ball, strawberry ice cream …
In the ninth room, there was a huge lollipop.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Like the special effect sound of a light bulb turning on, blue numbers appeared above these rectangles. From the first room, it was 1, 2, 3 … until 9.
A player whispered to himself, "1, 2, 3, 45, 6, 78, 9 … is this really hopscotch?"
Yes, this really was a hopscotch game.
Santa proudly introduced the game he designed. "This is a simple and interesting game. It can exercise your body and make you more familiar with Santa's candy house. Kids, did you see the Dice of Fortune you just got from the Dice of Fortune? "
Everyone took out the small dice they just got from their pockets.
Santa said, "This is your prop. Before you start the game, throw the dice into the grid you want to go to and then you can jump to that grid. However, you have to be careful. You must be fast and can't step on the line of the grid. In each grid, you can only stay one step and leave a footprint. "
Santa touched his beard and said with regret, "There are always children who are particularly greedy. I have given him a lot of gifts and candy but he doesn't play the game properly. He always wants to steal candy. Therefore, I set this rule. You can't stay in any room along the way. You can only eat something in the room you throw the dice to. "
Chen Shanshan asked, "What happens if you stay?"
Santa asked, "What happens?" A sinister light flashed in his eyes. "You guess, cute little girl. What do you think will happen?"
Chen Shanshan closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Why would someone die in a sea of chocolate beans just by playing a game?
The answer was as clear as day.
Santa didn't say any more nonsense. He pointed to Bai Ruoyao. "Child, do you understand how to play this game?"
Bai Ruoyao showed a rare expression of surprise. "Me?" He seemed to be asking why it was him.
Santa Claus said, "I found out a long time ago that you, like Santa Claus, love to smile. My lovely child, the luck of a child who loves to smile isn't too bad. "
Bai Ruoyao, "…"
Bai Ruoyao felt speechless but he still walked forward. Santa Claus said, "Take out your dice and let me see if you understand this game. Come and demonstrate it to everyone. "
Bai Ruoyao's wrist moved and a small die appeared between his fingers.
Santa was surprised. "A six point die?"
Bai Ruoyao asked, "Should I demonstrate it directly?"
Santa Claus asked, "Do you really understand it all?"
The baby-faced youth smiled. He looked back at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo before throwing the die.
The small die drew a huge arc in the air and was about to fall into the ninth room. However, it made a slight turn in the air and finally fell into the eighth room. The die made a crisp sound when it landed. The next second, Bai Ruoyao's body instantly flew out.
He was like a vigorous cheetah as he gently touched the ground in each room, easily avoiding the candy in the room and jumping into the eighth room. He didn't take one step more or one step less.
The tall and thin baby-faced youth stood in the eighth room, his hands in his pockets as he smiled and waved at everyone.
The other players immediately realized that the baby-faced youth's strength couldn't be underestimated and became more vigilant.
Mu Huixue sighed in a small voice. "He really deserves to be Fly."
The smile on Bai Ruoyao's face suddenly froze. He snorted and jumped back to his original place.
Santa sighed. "Yes, it is like this. You just entered the eighth house and this house has now been lit up by you. Just throw the die into the correct house in order, jump into that house again and again, light up all the houses and finish the game. You are really a smart child. "He looked at the other 18 players." Do the other children understand the rules of the game? "
Bai Ruoyao replied, "I didn't see that house light up."
Santa pointed to his eyes. "I saw it."
A middle-aged man asked, "What counts as winning the game?"
Santa wondered, "Ah, winning the game?" He seemed to have just realized that a game should have two endings: victory and defeat. The burly white-bearded old man touched his red hat and thought for a moment. "Then the first three children to clear the game will count as winning. However, you have to hurry. There are still three hours before the Quirky Commercial Street closes. "
Mu Huixue raised her hand. "There is only one house map. Who will start jumping houses first?"
Santa touched his chin. "This seems to be a problem. Haha, no, this is too simple. Who said that Santa only has one house map? I obviously have one more! "Santa waved his hand and two blue lights flew to both sides. When they landed on the ground, they rose from the ground and instantly transformed into two house maps.
The first eight rooms of these two maps were exactly the same as the previous map. They showed a 120 ° angle with the first map. The three maps formed a complete circle with the ninth room in the centre.
The starting point was different but it was the same.
There were now three maps but there were 19 players.
Without waiting for the players to ask questions, Santa Claus shouted, "When we rolled the dice, the children who rolled a 1 and a 6 come over to me." The five players looked at each other strangely and walked in front of Santa Claus.
"The child who rolled a 2 or 5, stand to my left." The seven players stood to the left.
"The child who rolled a 3 or 4, stand to my right." The seven players stood to the right.
Santa clapped his hands. "Look, how simple it is. You will use these three maps. I believe that now every child has a chance to play the game, right? "
Fu Wensheng said, "No, this still won't work." He rolled a 2 and pointed to the six players around him. "Our group has a total of seven people. Among the seven of us, who will play the game first and who will play after? There are only three hours. Maybe the last person won't be able to play. "
"Believe me, you must have a way to solve it, my lovely child." Santa winked at Fu Wensheng.
Fu Wensheng was stunned. "But …"
Chen Shanshan stopped him. The little girl quietly stared at the kind smile of the white-haired old man. "He is right. Even if we don't divide into three groups, we have a way to decide who goes first."
As if recognizing Chen Shanshan's words, the smile on Santa's face became deeper.
The most cruel thing in the world wasn't the black tower games or the black tower monsters. It was humanity itself.
A clear child's voice was heard.
"Ding dong! The large assembly instance game Santa's Quirky Commercial Street's Santa's Hopscotch Game has officially opened. "
"The rules of the game —"
"First, players must use a lucky die to throw. Whichever house they throw into, they can only jump to that house and then turn back."
"Second, stepping on the sidelines of the house or staying in the house for one more step is a foul. You need to start the game again. "
"Third, players can throw the die into any house at will. However, only by walking through the nine houses in the correct order can all the houses be lit up and the game be completed."
"Fourth, players are prohibited from using any props, abilities or violence in the game."
"Santa hates bad children who steal candy. As for what is considered stealing, Santa has his own opinion."
The players were still trying to understand the black tower's words when Santa reminded them, "Wow, 10 minutes have passed. Children, you have two hours and 50 minutes left. "
The players didn't waste any more time and walked to their respective house maps.
Once the three groups of players walked to their respective maps, a blue light film rose from the ground, separating them. The players touched the light film with surprise. It was soft and elastic but it blocked the three groups of players, not letting them touch it. Tang Mo said something to Fu Wenduo and Fu Wenduo shook his head.
Even sound couldn't penetrate this light film.
It seemed that Santa forbade players from communicating with each other.
The players put away their thoughts and stood at the entrance of the first house, waiting to throw the die and start the game.
"Hehe, this is fate, Tang Tang."
Tang Mo stared at the nine grids in front of him.
Bai Ruoyao wasn't discouraged. He was like a piece of sticky candy, sticking to Tang Mo's eyes and smiling. "Look, I'm 6 and you are 1. The two of us are so lucky to be in the same group. This is a great fate. "
Tang Mo said coldly, "Our group has a total of five people."
What he meant was that he and the other three were fated to be together.
Bai Ruoyao looked at the other three people before finally looking at Tang Mo with a serious expression. "I only have you in my heart, Tang Tang."
Tang Mo found it ridiculous. He hadn't opened his mouth when he found that Bai Ruoyao's smile suddenly froze on his face. He followed Bai Ruoyao's gaze and saw a tall, black-haired woman patting the blue light film in an exaggerated manner. She smiled at Bai Ruoyao and mouthed something.
Hello，Fly。
Bai Ruoyao, "…"
Tang Mo laughed.
For people like Bai Ruoyao, using force to suppress them was indeed the best way. In addition, this person didn't seem to be as casual with women as he was with men. He didn't like to make fun of women.
Tang Mo understood that Mu Huixue was helping him. This powerful returnee seemed to like to join in on the fun. She would go wherever there was fun. She saw Bai Ruoyao flirting with Tang Mo and didn't hesitate to join in.
Tang Mo's eyes paused on the two children in Mu Huixue's group.
With Shanshan there, Fu Wensheng shouldn't have a big problem. At least he wouldn't be bullied.
On Fu Wenduo's side, he definitely wouldn't have a problem.
He just needed to take care of himself.
Tang Mo retracted his gaze and looked at the five people in his group.
It was reasonable to say that throwing the die was a high probability event. It was like tossing a coin. The probability of tossing heads and tails was 0.5. If the die was thrown, the probability of each number being tossed should be 1/6. However, this was a probability derived from big data and there were only 19 players. There were only five players who threw 1 and 6. They were Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao. There was a young woman who threw a 6 and a middle-aged man who threw a 1.
There was also … Ning Zheng who threw a 1.
Tang Mo carefully examined Ning Zheng.
Since entering the candy house, Ning Zheng had reduced his sense of existence and didn't communicate with any players. He was like a transparent shadow, silently following the crowd. Santa let the players eat chocolate ice cream cones and he ate one. Santa let the players roll the die and he didn't fall.
However, he didn't have a sense of existence.
If Tang Mo didn't know who he was, he would think he was just an ordinary player.
There were only five people in their group. Normally, the competition wouldn't be as fierce as other groups. More than two hours of game time was enough for the five of them to successfully clear the game. However, Santa said that only the top three in each group could be considered to have won the game.
This group seemed simple but it might be more terrifying than the other two groups.
Tang Mo, Bai Ruoyao, Ning Zheng.
Tang Mo knew that none of the three of them would let go of this opportunity. However, Tang Mo didn't want to be the first. The same was true for Bai Ruoyao and Ning Zheng.
The two players' eyes wandered between Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao, suspecting that they intended to join forces.
Tang Mo didn't explain and instead moved a little closer to Bai Ruoyao.
The two groups next door had already started to choose who would start the game first due to the large number of people. There was a tacit understanding between Fu Wenduo and Chen Shanshan, who chose to stand to the side and give up the chance to play the game first. Mu Huixue also stood to the side. She seemed to like being with children and was very close to Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng.
In Tang Mo's group, the young woman couldn't hold back and asked, "Who is the first?"
Bai Ruoyao smiled. "Ladies first."
Ning Zheng didn't speak and looked calmly at the group. He didn't seem to want to give up the opportunity.
Tang Mo was more direct. "I want to be first. Who else wants to play the game first?"
The young woman and middle-aged man frowned. They hesitated for a moment before taking half a step forward.
Tang Mo turned to look at Ning Zheng. "What about you?"
Ning Zheng squeezed his fingers. After a long time, he said, "… I won't participate." He looked like he had lost a lot.
Tang Mo smiled reflexively while the young woman and middle-aged man looked at him strangely. Tang Mo stopped smiling. He just felt that Ning Zheng was very interesting. For the first time, he found that the most powerful returnee in Beijing had a talent for acting. It was a pity that his acting skills were worse than Bai Ruoyao's. If the two people weren't focused on Tang Mo then they should've discovered Ning Zheng's abnormality.
The young woman said, "Then now the three of us want to play the game first."
Among the three people, the young woman looked the weakest. She directly reminded them, "The black tower said that the use of abilities and props is prohibited. Violence is prohibited."
Bai Ruoyao laughed. "There are many ways to torture a person without violence."
The two players' expressions changed.
Bai Ruoyao deliberately pointed to Tang Mo. "He is an expert in this area."
The two people shrank a little when they heard this. Everyone could see that when all the players came out of the candy house, Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao's group had fought. The two of them were very skilled. They were definitely advanced players. The game could be played later. It wasn't a big deal if they weren't the first to play. If they fought against Tang Mo because of this, it wouldn't be worth it.
The young woman and middle-aged man shrank a little and didn't want to fight with Tang Mo anymore.
Tang Mo's lips curved into a sneer. "Bai Ruoyao, are you provoking me?"
Bai Ruoyao was slightly stunned. He felt that the current Tang Mo was a bit different from the one he knew. The baby-faced youth hid his doubts in his stomach and continued to smile. "Tang Tang, I am clearly praising you for being ruthless."
Was there such a compliment?
Tang Mo smiled instead of being angry. "Then do you want to try how ruthless I am?"
Bai Ruoyao felt that something was wrong. "I want to try but Tang Tang, the black tower prohibits violence."
Tang Mo asked, "Didn't you just say that I have many ways to torture a person without violence?"
Bai Ruoyao's smile suddenly stopped.
The middle-aged man and the young woman immediately understood that the baby-faced youth was framing Tang Mo. These two people weren't teammates at all. They might even be enemies.
Tang Mo wanted to mislead these two people and make them think that he and Bai Ruoyao were teammates, making them feel fear. But things were already like this and he said, "I give up."
The middle-aged man was surprised. "You give up? Why? "
Tang Mo turned and walked away. He was one metre away from Bai Ruoyao and pulled out the small parasol from his waist at a very fast speed. There was a sharp sound as the umbrella head appeared in front of Bai Ruoyao's throat. The baby-faced youth showed no fear and smiled brightly at Tang Mo.
"Violence is prohibited Tang Tang."
Tang Mo said, "I'm sure I can jump into every house and not step on the line. However, I'm not sure I won't step on the line if someone causes trouble. "
In order to prevent Bai Ruoyao from destroying things, Tang Mo gave up the opportunity to play the game.
It was reasonable and convincing.
The middle-aged man felt that something was strange but couldn't find it. He looked at the young woman.
Neither of them wanted to start because they didn't know the other's depth. The middle-aged man suggested, "Rock, paper, scissors. The winner will start the game first?"
"Okay."
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
The middle-aged man showed a hint of joy when he won.
Daring to be the first to challenge the game showed that he had the strength to do what Bai Ruoyao did and not step on any line.
The numbers on the houses flashed in the air. The middle-aged man looked at the nine numbers and silently counted them in his heart. Then he took out the die and gently threw it into the first grid. The man jumped in easily and jumped back to his original position.
The huge Santa Claus stood in the ninth house in the centre. He stroked his beloved giant lollipop and suddenly shouted, "Look at what I see. A cute child has lit up a house that belongs to him."
The other two groups were still arguing about who should start the game first because of the large number of people. When they heard this, they all looked at Tang Mo's group.
They saw the middle-aged man happily clench the die and throw it into the second grid.
The second grid was also very simple. Each grid was the size of a house but with the physical fitness of the 19 players present, they could basically jump out of the room in one step, leaving only a footprint. The middle-aged man stomped on the ground and used the momentum to jump into the second grid.
He bent down and picked up the die he had thrown on the ground. Then he turned and prepared to jump back. The moment he jumped into the first house, the originally gentle chocolate fountain in the centre of the house suddenly surged.
The man's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "No …" The surging black chocolate flood rushed over his head. Without any abilities or props, the man was caught off guard by the flood.
The players watched in horror as the player kept moving up and down in the chocolate flood. The weight of the thick chocolate flood was so great that he couldn't lift his head. The man inevitably left countless footprints in the house and the flood became fiercer. Soon, the flood washed him under the fountain.
Once the man's body completely disappeared, everything returned to calmness. Only the sticky chocolate juice on the ground hinted at what had just happened.
Santa's voice could be heard by all players as he said regretfully, "Poor child, why did you steal Santa's chocolate?"
The young woman immediately said, "No, he didn't. He didn't touch the chocolate at all!"
Santa Claus raised his head and stared at the woman. After a long time, he smiled strangely. "How do you know he didn't? Child, he just wanted to steal my chocolate. I know. "
Santa hated bad children who stole candy. As for what was considered stealing, Santa had his own opinion.
A basin of cold water was poured over everyone's heads.
There was a child who died in the sea of chocolate beans because he 'stole' them.
Now the middle-aged man died in the chocolate fountain and his body couldn't be found. It was because Santa felt that he wanted to steal chocolate.
Tang Mo pursed his lips and stared silently at the calm chocolate fountain before looking away.
Tang Mo, Bai Ruoyao and Ning Zheng never thought about being the first to play the game. They all knew that Santa Claus wouldn't be so simple and this game wouldn't be so harmless.
It turned out that this was the truly insidious part of the game.
There were a total of nine houses. Players had to throw the die into the correct house in order and then walk into the house again and again to light up the house. This meant that players had to pass through these houses many times. You never know if the candies that were lying peacefully in the middle of the house the last time you walked through it will suddenly attack you.
Players couldn't touch the candy because Santa would think they were stealing it.
However, the candy could actively attack players as long as Santa determined that they wanted to steal the candy.
Some players were afraid and didn't want to participate in this game. However, the blue light film trapped them and they couldn't escape.
Chen Shanshan raised her head and calmly asked, "What happens if the game fails?"
Santa Claus tilted his head. "The game failed …" There was a kind smile on his face but there was no light in Santa Claus' dark eyes. He smiled. "Guess, my lovely child."
The players who wanted to retreat immediately retracted their feet.
Among these players, apart from the mysterious reserve player, everyone else had at least cleared the black tower's first floor. In fact, 18 players had at least cleared the black tower's second floor.
Since they couldn't leave the game, they could only turn their heads.
The middle-aged man's death was like a warning, causing the remaining four people in Tang Mo's group to be silent. The young woman didn't dare play the game casually and took half a step back. Unexpectedly, she saw three people step forward and stand in front of the first house.
The young woman stared blankly at the three players.
The three of them obviously didn't want to start the game and gave the chance to her and the middle-aged man. How come the three of them stood at the same time? The next moment, the young woman's face turned white and her fingers slowly clenched, her eyes filled with resentment.
"… They are using us as lab rats!"
Yes, whether it was Ning Zheng, Bai Ruoyao or Tang Mo, they didn't intend to start the game in the first round. They wanted to observe the game and not fight an unprepared battle. Thus, the middle-aged man and the young woman were eager to start the game and the three people didn't stop them.
The middle-aged man's death was beyond Tang Mo's expectations. He didn't think that a player would die so quickly. He held his die and looked at Ning Zheng and Bai Ruoyao.
Bai Ruoyao treated the die like a stone and threw it in the air. He smiled. "Tang Tang wants to play the game so soon? Aren't you afraid that I'll make trouble? "
Tang Mo replied lightly, "It makes sense. Then you go first. I'll make trouble."
Bai Ruoyao smiled.
The three people had long known each other and were wary of each other.
The other two groups also started the game. It was only Tang Mo's group where the young woman didn't dare act rashly. Tang Mo's group restrained each other and no one moved first. Time passed and Bai Ruoyao walked to the front of the house.
Tang Mo looked up at him. "Aren't you afraid that I'll make trouble?"
Bai Ruoyao narrowed his eyes. "I'm different from that man. Tang Tang, that chocolate flood can't kill me. In addition, from beginning to end, the chocolate flood has been confined to the house. As long as I escape from the house, it can no longer follow me. The other rooms are the same. Leave and you can be saved. "
The young woman suddenly understood.
Tang Mo said, "Continue."
Bai Ruoyao asked, "Tang Tang, do you really want to kill me?"
Tang Mo didn't open his mouth.
Bai Ruoyao stared at him and suddenly smiled. "Hehe, then come quickly." Then he threw the die forward and it landed on the number '1.' A dexterous figure flashed and the young woman couldn't see clearly when Bai Ruoyao finished the first grid and returned to his original place.
Then it was the number '2.'
He didn't know if his luck was too good but Bai Ruoyao didn't encounter any attacks until he jumped to the number '4.' He returned to his original place with a grin and threw the die into the number '5.' Bai Ruoyao's body was as light as a swallow as he jumped into the fifth house. He picked up the die on the ground and stepped on the soft cotton candy.
His right foot gently tapped the ground and Bai Ruoyao was about to jump out of the fifth house. However, his feet hadn't left the ground when his whole body was stuck to the cotton candy.
A cold smile appeared on the doll's face. The marsh-like marshmallows frantically sucked at the human who was stepping on its head. However, the human was like a bird, easily stepping on the marshmallows with the help of the marshmallows. Every time he stepped, his feet would be sucked deeper into the cotton candy.
Because he was stuck, Bai Ruoyao had to jump a total of five steps to get out of the house that originally only needed one step. On the last step, his entire right foot was sucked into the cotton candy. Bai Ruoyao made a prompt decision and pulled out a beautiful silver butterfly knife from his pocket. He cut his pants and shoes and jumped out of the fifth house.
Santa Claus made a surprised sound and turned to look at Bai Ruoyao.
Once Bai Ruoyao landed firmly in place, he turned the die in his hand and smiled at Tang Mo. "Hehe, Tang Tang, am I powerful?"
Tang Mo ignored him.
He looked at the young woman again. "Tell me, am I powerful?"
The young woman was aware of Bai Ruoyao's terrifying strength and didn't dare speak.
Bai Ruoyao threw the die into the sixth house out of boredom and jumped forward again. The moment he jumped, Tang Mo looked at Ning Zheng and then Bai Ruoyao's back.
Wait …
Tang Mo's brain worked quickly as he saw the other two groups of players. Some players were killed by the glass candy ball and some players were drowned in the sea of chocolate beans. He gradually grasped the strange place and looked up to see Bai Ruoyao jumping into the sixth house.
Bai Ruoyao was the first player to jump into the sixth house. The other two groups could only jump to the fourth house before being attacked by the candy.
Bai Ruoyao lazily walked to the middle of the house and bent down to pick up the die. His hand had just touched the die when a clear child's voice was heard over the Quirky Commercial Street. The other two groups of players all stopped and listened to the black tower's prompt with astonishment. They heard the black tower speak calmly.
"Ding dong! Player Bai Ruoyao has successfully triggered the 'Lucky Fighting Stage.' Please choose any player to come up to the stage to fight. Fighting time: five minutes. During the fight, players can use props but can't use abilities. The winner's die can choose to exchange with the loser's lucky die, exchanging luck. "
"Santa likes this hidden reward stage the most. Santa has something to say about it …"
"Hahahaha, fight, fight!"
