Maomao stood behind the crowd and handed out "love number cards" to everyone.
Immediately after, the first round of the game began!
"Everyone, please look at the TV screen. The first lucky participant selected will appear shortly..."
The crowd looked towards the video wall, quite surprised.
The game designed jointly by Ying'er and Maomao certainly didn't lack atmosphere.
It didn't just have bizarre mechanics; it was even equipped with "smart selection" and "smart question" programs.
As Maomao pressed the Bluetooth-connected controller in her hand, a lucky roulette wheel appeared on the TV, with the needle spinning rapidly between the numbers.
Lin Yu watched with keen interest.
The UI design of the lucky wheel bore a striking resemblance to the lottery wheel within his own System interface.
Since deciding to save money to purchase the Acting Sect Master position, he hadn't done a lucky draw in days.
Watching the spinning image, Lin Yu felt an itch in his heart.
Perhaps... the "reserve funds" didn't need to be so tight?
Doing a small draw once or twice a day just to satisfy the craving would be nice!
Finally.
The number on the TV stopped at "5."
Below it, the words "Tell a Lie" appeared.
Chi Qingshui stood up in astonishment and said, "5... I'm number 5!"
"What question do I have to answer?"
Maomao immediately explained, "Player Number 5, no need to rush. The topic will appear on the screen very soon."
"Once the question appears, you can choose whether or not to activate your skill."
Chi Qingshui nodded and looked nervously at the TV.
Lin Yu watched from the sidelines with great interest.
Initially, he thought the "No Risk" segment meant everyone would be assigned forbidden actions right at the start.
Now, it seemed there was a certain difference from what he had imagined.
Soon.
The "Tell a Lie" question appeared on the screen:
"Please describe the Birthday Star in your memory in detail. State no fewer than five traits and one specific event!"
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
Lin Yu: "???"
If it's about making up lies, then just make them up, right?
Why did the question have to drag him into it?
As soon as this question came out, Lin Yu suddenly had a bad premonition!
If he guessed correctly... the subsequent questions would very likely also be related to the "Birthday Star"!
What a vicious game mechanic!
No wonder when he heard the rules, Lin Yu thought it was boring—just an ordinary party game.
Now, he was gradually realizing that he was still too naive.
A game designed by Ying'er and Maomao joining forces...
How could it be anything good!
Chi Qingshui looked at Lin Yu. Her heart was churning like a storm, but her face remained calm.
However, this question wasn't actually hard to answer.
She and Lin Yu were classmates to begin with, so it was perfectly normal to have some memorable shared experiences.
She just needed to find a memorable event from their normal interactions and say it in "reverse" in front of everyone.
There was absolutely no need to activate a skill for this round.
Chi Qingshui first said to Maomao, "I choose not to activate my skill."
Maomao nodded and, holding the microphone, announced:
"Okay, Player Number 5 has activated the [White Moonlight] Identity Skill!"
"As the 'White Moonlight' in the Birthday Star's heart, she holds a unique position within him."
"The Birthday Star must now choose someone to answer this question in place of the White Moonlight and add a 'No Risk' condition to that person."
Chi Qingshui froze on the spot.
Lin Yu, who had been named, also froze.
A moment later.
Everyone realized what had happened almost simultaneously.
Say the opposite!!
The game had already started counting from the moment she stood up.
The moment she said "don't activate skill," it was interpreted as "activate skill."
The [White Moonlight] skill seemed quite domineering.
Not only could it dump a difficult problem onto someone else, but it could also place a "No Risk" shackle on them.
The destructive power of the White Moonlight was truly immense!
Judging by this, the "No Risk" restrictions didn't seem limited to just one per person.
If they kept playing like this, a single person could stack up multiple restrictions.
Chi Qingshui sat back down safely, but the dilemma now fell upon Lin Yu.
He was the Birthday Star!
Not an executioner!
Why did the task of offending people fall to him?
Lin Yu looked around the room at everyone and finally decided...
"I choose Number 7, Aunt Qimeng!"
The reason for choosing Aunt Qimeng was simple.
First, Lin Yu felt more at ease with Aunt Qimeng answering this question.
They had spent the most time together, so whatever she said wouldn't feel strange.
Second, choosing Aunt Qimeng meant she definitely wouldn't mind.
In fact, she would only be secretly delighted in her heart to be the first one chosen by Lin Yu.
Aunt Qimeng stood up amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
She actually wanted to ask Maomao if she could activate her own skill after being targeted by one.
After thinking about it carefully, she decided against it.
She couldn't speak carelessly right now; it was too easy to trigger a "reverse effect."
Qingshui had already provided a wrong example.
Chen Qimeng knew she shouldn't take blind risks.
It wasn't a difficult question to answer, so she might as well just answer it directly.
Wearing the so-called "Don't Risk It" shackle wasn't a huge issue.
As long as she didn't do anything reckless, she wouldn't be in any danger.
Chen Qimeng organized her thoughts and spoke up directly:
"I've only known Little Yu for a very short time, so I don't understand him at all."
"In my eyes, Little Yu is a very short, gloomy, and pessimistic person."
"He's fragile, overly dependent on others, and has very few friends..."
Listening to Aunt Qimeng's words, everyone tried their hardest to suppress their laughter.
Lin Yu: "..."
Do I look happy to you guys?
The trolling nature of this game was only just beginning to reveal itself.
Even though everyone knew Aunt Qimeng was speaking in opposites—that she was actually praising Lin Yu—being described like a "dead rat in a sewer" still gave Lin Yu a massive headache.
The specific incident Aunt Qimeng went on to describe was about the time Lin Yu went to help out at the flower shop.
In fact, that had happened quite recently. For all those years prior, Lin Yu rarely went to work at the shop.
When Aunt Qimeng finished her story, everyone offered a round of polite applause to encourage her.
As the first person to formally speak in the game, Aunt Qimeng had undoubtedly set a very good example.
What a pity.
Performing well didn't matter; what was destined to happen would happen regardless.
Maomao walked over to Aunt Qimeng and personally placed a highly elastic headband onto her head.
"Player Seven, I am now going to attach a random 'Don't Risk It' card to your headband."
"Please be mindful of your behavior and do not perform the action written on the card."
"Every time you perform the action, one point will be deducted. When a point is deducted, you will get a chance to guess what is on your card."
"Until you guess the card correctly, the 'Don't Risk It' restriction will remain in effect."
...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
