Bai Youwei smiled at the supervisor: “What you know, others don’t; what others know, you may not necessarily know. The essence of this game is to have players’ knowledge databases mutually restrain each other! Really interesting~ No wonder the second round of game rules included one provision: a player randomly selected by the pointer can transfer the right to choose questions to any non-eliminated player on the field. So that’s what it’s for!”

The supervisor in the center of the spinning wheel stood quietly. Half of its faceless mask was exposed beneath its cloak, as if looking at her, silent and soundless.

“This shouldn’t be a bug.” Yan Qingwen from the other side suddenly spoke.

Bai Youwei was slightly startled and looked toward him.

Yan Qingwen said, “The method you mentioned would of course work in an ideal state, but don’t forget—the game has 36 players. These 36 people aren’t necessarily all familiar with and trusting of each other. Without one hundred percent trust, why would the other party choose questions according to your requirements?”

If Tan Xiao didn’t follow Bai Youwei’s commands without question, why should he choose “mathematics”?

The reason Tu Dan could successfully clear the game with her students was because the students trusted and relied on her, and those students were classmates who spent day and night together—their knowledge overlap rate was extremely high!

But Bai Youwei’s group, Yan Qingwen’s group, and Brother Fei’s group!

They came from different social strata, different cities, and had different levels of education! They simply couldn’t cooperate!

At this moment, the supervisor announced the answer to question 3:

“The answer is D. Correct answers accumulate 1 point, incorrect answers deduct 1 point. Players with no points are eliminated.”

This time, no one was eliminated.

All 20 surviving players received a beautiful peach-pink heart.

The black pointer on the spinning wheel began rotating again.

As the pointer spun, the gray-robed old man’s hoarse voice rang out: “Foolish humans… What my game ultimately tests has never been how much knowledge you possess, but rather the trust between people.”

The pointer slowed down.

Gradually stopped.

Finally pointed to a crew-cut young man beside Brother Fei.

The gray-robed supervisor let out a hoarse laugh, rasping like pouring sand into a rough clay pot.

“So… now, without trust, how will you make him obey your instructions and transfer his right to choose questions?”

Bai Youwei’s lips curved up as she scoffed disdainfully: “Did I hear that wrong? You designed this broken game to test trust between people? Old man, you’re the stupid one!”

Her peripheral vision glanced at the crew-cut man targeted by the pointer, as if looking at something particularly ridiculous and laughable.

“Today I’ll give you a lesson. Making people obey instructions has never relied on trust, but rather… coercion and temptation~”

—Swoosh!

The air split with sound!

A flash of silver light!

Immediately followed by a bang! A small knife flew toward the crew-cut man, firmly embedded in the gap between his legs!

Everyone knew how solid the metal chairs were, yet this small knife pierced so deep! The handle was still trembling slightly from the residual force!

The crew-cut man shook like a sieve, his entire face ashen! Scared speechless!

It was Shen Mo who had acted.

Yan Qingwen raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. He had thought Shen Mo was a “kind and merciful” military officer.

Bai Youwei looked at the crew-cut man with a smile: “As long as you do as I say, every one of us can clear the game with a perfect score. Isn’t that great? So what are you hesitating about? Unless… you want to die here immediately?”

The crew-cut man looked at her fearfully, large beads of sweat rolling down his face, stammering and unable to speak.

“Don’t listen to her!”

Brother Fei suddenly shouted from the side:

“That man only has one knife! He can’t hurt you now!”
