Aunt Qimeng adhered strictly to the rules of the game, sitting quietly in her seat as she awaited the arrival of the "Non-Adventure" card.
Before long.
Under everyone's gaze, a card reading [Look at the Birthday Boy] appeared on Aunt Qimeng's forehead.
Lin Yu: "..."
It was over.
This round was a total wash.
The content of the card was clearly designed specifically for today.
It was very likely that the other "Non-Adventure" penalty cards were all related to Lin Yu as well.
If his suspicions were correct, it wouldn't take long for everyone to figure out the pattern, and Lin Yu would become the object of "isolation."
"Wow, was this designed by Yinger or **Maomao**?"
"What a vicious card, haha!"
"Sister Qimeng, you have to guess carefully what you're wearing."
"Hahaha, I wonder if the other cards are of a similar type?"
"..."
Everyone burst into heated discussion the moment they saw the card face.
Chen Qimeng herself didn't join in the commotion, nor did she participate in the discussion.
She had a rough idea of how this game was played.
Unless necessary, say as little as possible.
In games like this, the less you speak, the fewer mistakes you make.
Anyway, today was Little Yu's birthday; as long as he was happy, that was enough.
"Player 7, minus one point!"
**Maomao**'s cold, merciless voice broke Chen Qimeng's train of thought.
Sitting at the table, Lin Yu held his forehead helplessly: "..."
Sigh.
What a disaster!
Trying to get Aunt Qimeng not to look at him seemed to be genuinely difficult.
Chen Qimeng looked at her number plate and pointed at herself in confusion:
"Me? Me?"
"I don't think I did anything, did I?"
"Is my card 'Breathing'?"
**Maomao** spoke again: "Wrong answer. The game continues."
Every time points were deducted, the penalized player was allowed one guess at the card's content.
Chen Qimeng began to review what had happened since she got the card...
"Player 7, minus one point!"
**Maomao**'s voice sounded in Chen Qimeng's ear once more.
Chen Qimeng's eyes went wide: "!!!"
"Points deducted again? So fast?"
**Maomao** nodded, waiting for Chen Qimeng to make a guess.
Just now, Chen Qimeng hadn't even spoken, let alone moved much.
There had only been a few seconds between the first and second deduction.
It wasn't about saying a specific word...
It must be about doing a specific action!
Chen Qimeng thought for a moment and said:
"Is it 'Look Left'?"
**Maomao** replied with a formulaic tone:
"Close, but not correct. The game continues."
Close!!
Chen Qimeng instantly had a bold idea.
It wasn't looking left or right, but it definitely had to do with looking at something.
Before she found the opportunity to say the correct answer, it was better to avoid looking around.
Especially at Little Yu!
"Mengmeng, are you really this smart? You guessed what it was in just two tries," Du Ruxue, sitting next to her, whispered in praise.
Chen Qimeng didn't dare lift her head at all.
What if she guessed wrong and the target written on the card wasn't Little Yu, but the player next to her?
If she looked up to talk to Du Ruxue now, it would be counted as a failure again.
"I haven't guessed it at all. I just shouldn't look around randomly, right?"
Chen Qimeng answered in a fluster.
While Du Ruxue was still whispering with Chen Qimeng, **Maomao**'s voice came through the speakers again:
"Player 8, please prepare."
Player 8 was none other than Du Ruxue.
Hearing her name called, she realized that the random selection on the screen had landed on her this time.
Du Ruxue stood up and looked at the "Tall Tales" topic that appeared on the screen:
"Please tell a secret about the 'Birthday Boy'. If more than three players present also know it, you will receive a punishment."
Du Ruxue: "..."
Lin Yu: "..."
Seeing this kind of topic pop up, Lin Yu's thoughts fell into sudden chaos.
Wasn't playing games supposed to be for relaxation?
Why was Lin Yu panicking more and more as they played!
When the first "Tall Tales" topic came up, he was only slightly nervous.
Seeing this prompt, he completely lost his composure.
Were Yinger and **Maomao** teaming up to put the pressure on him?
What kind of god-tier question was this?
It was going to be a live exposure session!
The person answering was Aunt Ruxue...
It was hard to imagine what kind of answer she would throw out.
Du Ruxue looked at the topic and fell into deep thought.
The women on the scene were already prepared to enjoy the gossip.
Immediately after.
Du Ruxue seemed to make up her mind and said:
"I'm activating my skill."
Host **Maomao** responded immediately:
"Player 8 activates the [Nemesis] identity skill!"
"The person who knows you best is often your equal rival. Nemesis skill activated; the core of the question is reversed."
"Please tell a private matter about the Birthday Boy, requiring that at least three players present know about it."
Lin Yu: "???"
[Nemesis] had a skill like that?
It truly caught Lin Yu off guard!
However.
The current situation was at least a bit better than before.
Something that more than three people knew...
Could that even be considered a secret?
Even if it was said out loud here, it wouldn't have much impact on Lin Yu.
Perhaps Aunt Ruxue's information database didn't contain any absolute secrets about Lin Yu.
Even for information like "Zero," she probably felt that more than one person here knew it.
If the matter she stated wasn't private enough, Du Ruxue might get punished herself.
Rather than that, it was better to activate the skill.
This maneuver settled Lin Yu's heart considerably.
Good, good, good.
As expected of a high-end player capable of putting pressure on Shen Jiuyi.
She had nothing but an obsession with winning in her heart and was completely uninterested in other matters.
After the core of the question was reversed, the effect seemed to be exactly what Du Ruxue had envisioned.
She continued addressing everyone:
"Your understanding of the Birthday Boy is still insufficient. He once went alone to challenge the Xia Family Dojo, and the result was that he lost!"
Xia Yiwei: "Hahaha, I can testify. It's true."
Chi Qingchi: "I can too."
Xiang Tiange: "I also know about this by coincidence."
**Xia Xiashan**: "..."
As soon as these words came out.
**Xia Xiashan**'s cheeks instantly burned hot.
She had calculated everything, but she hadn't expected Aunt Ruxue to spill this particular secret.
On the way back, the wound had already been ripped open by Lin Yu once.
Now, it was being ripped open again by Aunt Ruxue!
Chi Qingshui looked at her sister who had raised her hand and asked in surprise:
"Little Chi, you know too? How do you know?"
"Does Aunt Ruxue mean to say that Lin Yu actually won the challenge?"
"Does he really know Kung Fu?"
Chi Qingshui hurriedly threw out a string of questions.
She didn't even know about such a secret matter...
How could Little Chi know?
Chi Qingchi scratched her face awkwardly and stammered:
"Sister, about this... it's a long story. I only found out today too."
"I'll tell you after the game ends, okay?"
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half? Shen Yuan: Forty-sixty split, I get forty, you get sixty! Protagonist: Deal! Big brother, come on, hit me! As long as it doesn't kill me, beat me like you mean it! Shen Yuan: Don't worry... I will definitely protect all of you! No one but me can lay a finger on you! Guard our Heaven's Chosen Ones! I'm the only one allowed to bully them!
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)
