“That’s what you say… but…” One of the male Participants still looked somewhat unconvinced.

“It doesn’t matter,” Baiyang said, pointing behind him. “Do you see the ‘Earth-Bull’ behind me with a red light?”

Everyone looked in the direction of Baiyang’s finger. The “Bull” statue was indeed glowing red.

“So what?”

“You can verify it slowly. You can also go to the Earth-Bull’s venue now and ask if he just won his game,” Baiyang said. “My game has just opened. As the saying goes, all beginnings are difficult. Later, you’ll naturally understand what ‘Elysium Money House’ really means. I have no way to control the entire display screen’s direction. This all depends on other Zodiacs.”

After hearing this, several Participants looked at each other, seemingly calculating something.

“Okay… I’ll believe for now that what you’re saying is true,” a girl said, then turned her gaze toward Jiang Ruoxue and me. She then asked, “I just don’t understand what about your game requires ‘reservations’? There are even ‘VIP guests’… aren’t you going to explain?”

“This is precisely the final gameplay of this game,” Baiyang said. “As I said at the beginning, since my name is ‘Money House,’ my main business is still ‘depositing money.’ These two guests just made a ‘large deposit’ here. Each person deposited twenty ‘Dao.'”

“‘Deposited’ twenty ‘Dao’?” Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

Including Jiang Ruoxue and me.

“The display screen here will conduct a ‘final evaluation’ on the last day,” Baiyang said. “Everyone can specify depositing ‘Dao’ under a certain Zodiac’s name. If this Zodiac’s ten-day summary is ‘Total Red,’ the deposit will receive a ten percent increase. If the summary is ‘Total Green,’ the deposit receives a ten percent decrease. Of course, if the summary is ‘Total White,’ there’s neither increase nor decrease. These changes take effect immediately. Everyone can choose to withdraw at any time during a certain cycle.”

After hearing this, I swallowed slightly. Just as I said, Baiyang used simple logic like red lights for wins and green lights for losses to attempt to create a massive financial institution.

I was just about to turn back and say something to Jiang Ruoxue when I noticed her face gradually turning pale and beginning to sweat.

“So here… is really a ‘Money House’…?” The Participants said somewhat incredulously. “A ten percent fluctuation every ten days—that number is too exaggerated…”

“But you can withdraw at any time,” Baiyang said. “Even one second before the ‘final evaluation.'”

“You’re wrong. You can know,” Baiyang said. “Have you forgotten? My ‘final evaluation’ is conducted according to the Zodiacs’ performance. As long as you continuously observe the Zodiacs or actively participate in that Zodiac’s game, you can definitely predict their ‘final evaluation.’ Smart people can naturally make money from me, but foolish people are exempted.”

Baiyang’s one sentence made everyone ponder.

Yes… from all aspects, this was a very feasible plan.

Even if this game was Earth-level, as long as one was careful and cautious enough and had sufficient capital, one could definitely earn “Dao” here.

Wait a moment… I suddenly felt something wasn’t quite right…

Earth-level game?

Is the ultimate purpose of an Earth-level game to earn “Dao”?

Before I could figure it out, Jiang Ruoxue beside me suddenly became unsteady and nearly fell. I quickly supported her.

“Ruoxue…?” I asked quietly. “What’s wrong?”

“Something seems off…” Jiang Ruoxue held her forehead and said to me weakly. “It’s clearly the simplest ‘Cause and Effect’… why am I so tired…?”

“I’ll take you to rest first!” After saying this, I looked back at Baiyang, who had also noticed Jiang Ruoxue’s change.

“She…” Baiyang seemed to want to say something but swallowed it back. “If you’re done, you can leave first.”

I nodded. Just as I was about to leave with Jiang Ruoxue, Baiyang seemed to have thought of something else. He walked forward a few steps and came before Jiang Ruoxue and me.

“Wait.”

“What is it…?” I asked.

“Cause and Effect,” Baiyang asked quietly. “How long have you preserved your memories?”

“At least over three years, why?” Jiang Ruoxue raised her head and said weakly.

“Before, have you ever applied ‘Cause and Effect’ to other ‘display screens’?” Baiyang asked again.

“No,” Jiang Ruoxue shook her head. “In my memory, this is the first time.”

“Good,” Baiyang nodded. “Rest more. You’ll quickly get used to it. This ‘Cause and Effect’ will make you even more powerful.”

After hearing this, I said nothing more and quickly took Jiang Ruoxue out of Baiyang’s game venue.

I found a shaded, ventilated building and helped Jiang Ruoxue go inside to sit down. Not long after, she still didn’t feel well and could only find a wooden board to lie down on.

She placed the back of her hand on her forehead, breathing heavily in large gasps.

I even felt she seemed to have a fever, but when I touched her forehead, there was only cold sweat.

“Ruoxue…” I looked at her somewhat worriedly. Even I didn’t know where exactly the problem lay. “Are you really okay?”

“This is so strange…” Jiang Ruoxue answered. “It’s clearly the simplest ‘true-false logic’… but this feels more tiring than when I founded the ‘Extreme Path’ back then…”

Hearing this, I furrowed my brow slightly.

More tiring than founding the Extreme Path?

Wait a moment… I think I’m beginning to understand…

If everything was reasonable and aligned with our understanding, it could only mean that the few logics Baiyang had Jiang Ruoxue apply were more complex than they appeared on the surface. This complexity even exceeded creating the Extreme Path.

“Speak up…” Jiang Ruoxue opened half an eye and said weakly. “Whenever you show that expression, it means you’ve figured out something important.”

“Yes… Ruoxue… but wait a moment…” I blinked. “The situation is a bit too complex… I need to think about how to describe it… I need some time to organize my thoughts…”

“‘Complex’…?” Jiang Ruoxue sighed deeply. “Are you talking about Baiyang’s game? What exactly did he do?”

“If I’m not mistaken… the ‘Cause and Effect’ of this game is too great, and there’s also a ‘logical short circuit’ mixed in. I’m afraid it’s this ‘logical short circuit’ that’s making you feel exhausted… because ‘Cause and Effect’ has trapped itself!”

“Ah…?” After hearing this, Jiang Ruoxue immediately sat up. It seemed her weakness wasn’t as severe anymore. “Explain in detail, quickly!”
