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?"
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.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
