When the Rabbit-Headed Gentleman announced the participant numbers, he had mentioned that two players chose Battle 10.
So her opponent this time was unquestionably the white-gloved man.
Both Asian, both residing in the headquarters building — now they had to compete against each other in a single game. It felt a little like an internal dispute.
Bai Youwei couldn’t help but smile at that, gripping her wheelchair and slowly entering the glowing square.
She didn’t mind.
Because she intended to win all the way to the end. Whether the competition came from within the same faction or from outside it — she intended to win… No one could understand the meaning of the game better than she did, and no one could desire to win more desperately than she did.
…
Inside the white space within the square, a life-sized 3D holographic projection of the white-gloved man appeared.
To the right of the holographic projection, information about him floated into view.
【Enemy King, Age 28, Height 179cm, Weight 70kg, Blood Type O…】
【Do you choose to surrender?】
…Of course not.
Bai Youwei waited quietly for the countdown to reach zero.
…5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.
Everything before her eyes vanished — the holographic projection, the text on the right, all of it gone — replaced by yet another square-shaped door.
Beyond the door, green trees grew in abundance, the ground blanketed in lush vegetation. It appeared to be a forest.
Bai Youwei wheeled herself slowly toward it.
When she touched the soft grass, the square door of light behind her disappeared at once. Her companion teammates appeared behind her all at once, looking around in amazement at this impossible world.
The enormous trees gave them the illusion of being in a primordial jungle.
“What kind of game is this?” Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei.
Bai Youwei shook her head. “I’m not sure — I just arrived as well.”
Before her words had even faded, a buzzing sound drifted down from overhead, like the drone of a helicopter.
Everyone looked up at the same time. The tree canopies were dense with leaves and branches; they could only glimpse the passing drones through a few gaps.
“They went in that direction!” Yu Chaohui pointed in a direction and declared decisively, “And there’s more than one.”
Bai Youwei said: “Let’s go take a look.”
The group moved in the direction of the drones. The wheelchair had difficulty moving through the overly dense undergrowth, but fortunately the stretch was very short — after only a few dozen meters, they arrived at a flat, open patch of green grass.
Four or five drones were dropping food and drinking water onto the clearing.
The white-gloved man’s people were already there.
The game hadn’t officially begun yet, but the two sides had already taken on the tension of a drawn bow, eyeing each other with wariness.
A ball…
More precisely, a wooden ball rolled out from the dense shrubs.
“Hello, everyone! Welcome to this battle’s game — ‘Wildlife Park’! I am this game’s supervisor, as well as the Wildlife Park’s director! Welcome, welcome, once again, to all of you~”
The wooden ball was covered in gnarled wooden knots, with a few leaves growing from certain spots, making it look like a round wooden stump.
Bai Youwei genuinely couldn’t understand why it was so obsessed with making itself look like that.
The wooden ball chattered away cheerfully, rotating habitually as it spoke:
“In the Wildlife Park, there are eight types of animals living together — Mouse, Cat, Fox, Wolf, Leopard, Lion, Bear, and Elephant.
The elephant can eat the bear; the bear can eat the lion; the lion eats the leopard; the leopard eats the wolf; the wolf eats the fox; the fox eats the cat; the cat eats the mouse; and the mouse can eat the elephant.
Does everyone understand now?”
The wooden ball wiggled and let out a laugh — pure and crisp: “Whichever team’s animals are all eaten first loses! And the other side wins!
Note carefully~ what animal each of you represents will be decided by your King.”
