Round after round—

Every person selected by the pointer transferred their right to choose questions to Tan Xiao.

Because Tan Xiao’s mathematical knowledge was pitifully deficient, the system had to ensure the selector’s success rate, so it could only lower the difficulty of questions again and again.

Multiplication was already the ceiling; division only dared to use numbers within two digits.

The 36 required questions gradually approached the end. Everyone maintained full heart status—60 small pink hearts across the field sparkled and glowed, neat and beautiful.

By the last few questions, even without the rabbit “watching like a tiger eyeing its prey” standing before the players, players would automatically choose to transfer their right to choose questions.

Because they all understood that as long as they maintained this, they could clear the game!

…

The last question finally ended.

Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Youwei called back the plush rabbit, unhurriedly stroking its ears, her tone casual and light:

“This indeed isn’t an intelligence game. What it tests isn’t knowledge, but human hearts. Whoever controls human hearts can become the master of the game. Players can only be led by the nose. However, what a pity…”

She looked at the supervisor, the corners of her mouth upturned with a touch of pride: “This time, the controller isn’t you—it’s me.”

The supervisor silently watched her.

“Alright.” Bai Youwei slightly narrowed her eyes, resuming her lazy appearance. “Proceed with the game settlement, and these metal restraints—remove them. Being bound up is really uncomfortable.”

As her words fell, the metal chairs unlocked with clicks. Everyone regained their freedom.

One by one, they stepped down from the metal chairs, their expressions showing incredulous daze, looking at each other, confirming in their eyes that they had truly escaped danger.

The gray-robed old man’s hoarse voice congratulated them: “Congratulations to all of you for clearing this game.”

Everyone felt somewhat uncertain.

Happy? Naturally they were happy, yet more than that was a feeling of being at a loss.

How many more games like this were there?

Would the next game be this lucky?

The gray-robed old man stood motionless at the center of the spinning wheel, his tone as calm as always: “Players who cleared this game total twenty. Each person will receive one Lucky Question Card.”

A card immediately appeared in Bai Youwei’s hand, the size of a playing card, with no pattern, black background with red edges.

[Lucky Question Card: Can ask any player one question. The questioned party must answer correctly, otherwise they will be penalized with 60 seconds of immobility. A second incorrect answer incurs a 120-second penalty, a third incurs 180 seconds, after which the restraint automatically releases.]

Bai Youwei casually stuffed it into her bag, feeling like she’d added another useless item.

Obviously a defensive-type prop, and it could only ask one question—truly useless to the extreme!

Completely disproportionate to her efforts~

She looked up at the supervisor and couldn’t help asking, “Isn’t there an extra reward for the person with the highest score? I remember there should be some kind of treasure pouch or something?”

Everyone was stunned and looked at the supervisor.

“The treasure pouch is unique…” the gray-robed old man said slowly. “However, I can give you all an even better reward.”

It raised its arm, its sleeve revealing a hand wrapped entirely in bandages.

The bandages showed a gray-brown aged color, and the fingers were withered, as if the bandages weren’t wrapping a hand but a skeleton buried for ages.

It turned its palm over. In the palm was a gleam of golden light—

It was a lustrous gold coin!

About the size of a one-yuan coin, pure gold in color, with something carved on it.

“Everyone in this game achieved a perfect score. There is no highest scorer, so… to whom should I give this?” The gray-robed old man faced the crowd, looking at them one by one. “Give it to you?… Or to you?… What about you?… And you…”

Finally, it stopped before Tan Xiao and laughed hoarsely twice.

“I’ll give it to you, young man. You asked the most questions in this game. Your courage and wisdom are sufficient to earn this reward.”
