Chapter 515: 515: Riddle Kingdom

As Bai Youwei was pondering, Fu Miaoxue asked her, “How do you know about the test game? I only talked about it with my boyfriend.”

There probably aren’t many people in the world who know about it. After all, everyone who entered the test game died.

Bai Youwei said, “I heard about it from the Inspector, both my boyfriend and I know.”

Shen Mo: “…”

He realized that since he entered this game, he and Du Lai seemed to have lost their names.

“The Inspector told you about this?” Fu Miaoxue asked, confused, “I never met him, there’s no Inspector in the test game, only a set of instructions telling us what to do first, then what to do next…”

Bai Youwei asked her, “What kind of game was it?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Miaoxue’s face fell, recalling bad memories, “At that time, the internet and power outages hadn’t yet occurred, and the news about people turning into dolls had just come out. I was walking in my garden at home, and suddenly I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place called Riddle Kingdom!”

The test game was different from the actual game, there was no formal entrance, so there were no triggers, selections were entirely random by the system.

Fu Miaoxue angrily said: “That game is just insane! It required players to find clues on their own to leave Riddle Kingdom, but for every question we asked the inhabitants of the Kingdom, we first had to answer one of their questions. My answer was clearly correct, but I still died!”

“You die even though you answered correctly?” Bai Youwei exclaimed, “This game is seriously flawed.”

Fu Miaoxue said, “One of the inhabitants asked me, ‘why didn’t the glass cup shatter when the King of Riddle Kingdom threw it?’”

“Why?” Bai Youwei asked.

“The correct answer is, ‘because the cup was caught.’” Fu Miaoxue chuckled cynically,”Sounds absurd, right? It’s utterly nonsensical!”

“So what was your answer?” Bai Youwei couldn’t help but ask.

“My answer was, ‘the cup was thrown into the water, so it didn’t shatter. I thought there was nothing wrong with it, a cup thrown into the water wouldn’t break! But they insisted I was wrong, then they threw me into the water, and I drowned!”

Bai Youwei: “…”

Shen Mo: “…”

This is such a wrongful death, worthy of being a test game. It really isn’t reliable!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“So after that, you were stuck in Riddle Kingdom all the time?” Bai Youwei continued asking.

“No.” Fu Miaoxue shook her head lightly, “After five or six rounds, I was moved to another game by the system. There is no real death in the game, it’s all about individual willpower. Everyone’s circumstances are different…

Some people can’t stand it after the third or fourth round and slowly turn into inhabitants of Riddle Kingdom, forgetting who they are and what the game mission is. They only know to follow the rules, ask, ask, and ask. As soon as a player asks how to leave Riddle Kingdom, they present them with the riddle of the glass cup.”

“Then you’re remarkable.” Bai Youwei seriously said, “To persist through so many rounds without giving up.”

“Not as remarkable as you both.” Fu Miaoxue smiled, taking in Bai Youwei and Shen Mo, “You’ve been winning from the very beginning, and for me, I’ve been losing right from the start.”

No matter how excellent she performed afterwards, it was of no use.

Because from the beginning, she lost, and even if she was revived, there was no going back…

“Being remarkable isn’t about winning or losing.” Shen Mo said calmly, “Knowing how you lose means you know how to avoid danger. Du Lai is also very perceptive to danger. Maybe together, one plus one is greater than two, and you might produce unexpected results.”
