Chapter 579: 579: Never Give Up Rights

Even after careful consideration, even after making the resolution, the thoughts of separation still make me uneasy.

It’s not about how much she trusts Shen Mo or how much Shen Mo feels comfortable with her. But after the two of them discussed, they found they had to break up…

Without separating, even if they manage to win at the beginning of the game, it wouldn’t change the trend of them being at a disadvantage.

So, they must separate.

Bai Youwei sighed in silence.

Looking around, she noticed that Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin were staring at her in a daze.

Pan Xiaoxin hesitated to ask, “Sister Weiwei, we still have Brother Yan, right?”

Tan Xiao also whispered, “Sure, Brother Yan has a king on his side. Wouldn’t it be all right if we work with him? It’s far better than our separation…”

Bai Youwei listened and frowned, “Can they be the same? If Shen Mo’s the King, when he runs into me in the game, he’d certainly surrender to me. Try asking Yan Qingwen to surrender you all? We would be ripped off by him without knowing how the bargaining would end up!”

It’s not that Yan Qingwen was not good, it’s just that their friendships with him were not so profound that he would willingly give up the Maze War!

Pan Xiaoxin and Tan Xiao should be clear about this, why would they still raise such points?

Bai Youwei pondered a bit and she soon figured it out.

Pan Xiaoxin and Tan Xiao did not have such a strong desire to piece together the puzzle, even maybe, they did not truly understand the significance of piecing the puzzle, therefore, they naturally chose a more conservative method.

Understanding this, Bai Youwei felt a bit stunned.

…Did she make assumptions too easily?

Perhaps nobody is willing to risk anything for the puzzle and it would be more comfortable to stay in the dollhouse, right?

Gathering all the puzzle pieces was initially the goal of only a few people… More people just wanted to survive, then to live one day after another.

As for the questions about the truths of the world, the meaning of life, the value of existence… These grand issues are not cared about by everyone.

Bai Youwei was deep in thought.

Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin look at each other, oblivious to her feelings.

After a while, she finally said, “You guys can surrender… There’s no penalty for not entering the game, just your puzzles would be taken away…”

“We can’t do that!” Tan Xiao got extremely agitated all of a sudden, “Good buddies should be loyal to each other, ready to protect each other no matter what! How can we surrender now?! The rumor of it would make a bad effect in future!”

Bai Youwei: “….”

Having been with him for this long, she still could not figure out Tan Xiao’s way of thinking.

The actual puzzle doesn’t interest him, but the intangible virtues such as loyalty somehow make him animated?

What’s there to be animated about…

Really…

Pan Xiaoxin is way more practical than Tan Xiao, he answered, “I won’t surrender either. I’m young, if I participate as a commoner, maybe they’ll underestimate me, and we can take the opportunity.”

Tan Xiao rubbed his head with a smile, “Not bad, Xiaoxin! You even know about taking opportunities!”

Pan Xiaoxin was struggling to prevent Tan Xiao from rubbing his head, “Even if we lose… that’s okay, we would just become commoners. But we can’t surrender now, Sister Weiwei will definitely need support in the game…”

Tan Xiao praised him again, “Great! Your deeds of loyalty look just like me when I was young and adventurous!”

Bai Youwei couldn’t help laughing and her gloomy mood faded away.

Maybe she was the narrow-minded one. Tan Xiao and Pan Xiaoxin did not have much interest in the puzzle, but they had their reasons to exist in this game.

Bai Youwei laughed and said, “Well then, let’s bring together all of the tools and puzzles, see how we should arrange them.”

The three of them brought out all different tools and puzzles, scattered all around.

“Huh?” Tan Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

Pan Xiaoxin was holding a tool, his face changed.

“What happened?” Bai Youwei looked at them, her gaze fell on the bronze mirror in Pan Xiaoxin’s hand.

She reached out and took the bronze mirror, frowning immediately.

All these tools…

All, have malfunctioned.
