Everyone fell silent, then looked at Bai Youwei with complex expressions in their eyes.

Noticing she was being watched, Bai Youwei slightly curved her lips in a faint smile.

Still able to smile at a time like this—simply a lunatic!

Bai Youwei remained calm and composed, leisurely stroking the rabbit, completely unconcerned about others’ gazes.

Yan Qingwen’s seat was separated from hers by two people. He glanced at Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s side, discovering that all five of them were present, while on his side, Lu Ang, Zhu Shu, and Li Li were all there, but Su Man was not.

After thinking briefly, he understood. Actually, they had always been within a Doll Game zone, and the reason they’d been safe was because the number of people had never reached the game’s requirement.

But when Fei Ge arrived with his large group, they unknowingly satisfied the game’s requirement.

The current number of people present… 36.

He counted again.

That’s right—it seemed this game required the number of players to reach 36 before it would trigger.

Thirty-six people sat on the giant spinning wheel. The wheel’s color was bright red, while the chairs were metal. Special devices restricted their freedom, allowing only their hands to move.

At the very center of the wheel was an extremely thin, extremely long black pointer. The pointer was currently motionless, pointing to the position between numbers 1 and 36.

Li Li was sitting at position 36. He was the last person to enter the game zone.

Following this reasoning, Su Man should now be outside the game world, temporarily safe.

While Yan Qingwen was thinking, the wheel was also quietly changing—

Above the black pointer, rectangular question boards appeared one after another. The boards were translucent, like panes of glass with words written on them: Poetry, Literature, Mathematics, Language, Art, Music…

All the question boards were arranged neatly in several layers, forming a long circle, like Tibetan prayer wheels, slowly rotating before everyone’s eyes.

Bai Youwei asked Shen Mo in a soft voice: “This is the Lucky Quiz that Tu Dan mentioned, right?”

Tu Dan and her students had encountered two games—one was Lucky Quiz, the other was Mushroom-Picking Children.

“The location where they encountered Lucky Quiz was at the school,” Shen Mo said, looking at the question boards before him. “It seems Doll Games really do move.”

“I wonder what props it will reward~” Bai Youwei was somewhat interested in this. “It must be more useful than mushrooms, which is why Chen Hui was reluctant to give one to me.”

Shen Mo glanced at her with amusement. “The gift is light but the sentiment is profound—she gave you a mushroom out of genuine goodwill.”

“I didn’t look down on it,” Bai Youwei smiled. “Anyway, if it were me, I’d definitely keep good things for myself to use.”

Just as she finished speaking, a gray figure appeared above the pointer.

“Welcome, everyone. I am the monitor for this game.”

An aged, hoarse voice, like that of an elderly person.

Through the translucent question boards, everyone saw a gray-robed elder sitting at the pointer’s center point.

Calling it an elder might not be accurate, because no one could see its face. It wore a white, featureless mask, its entire body wrapped in a wide gray cloak, and its exposed fingers were also wrapped in bandages, like a mummy.

This was the fourth monitor Bai Youwei had encountered.

She always felt the monitors themselves must represent something—for instance, the first represented reason, the second childlike innocence, the third flamboyance, and the fourth… antiquity? Conservatism?

She couldn’t quite say.

The entire venue fell silent, with only the gray-robed elder slowly and hoarsely explaining the rules:

“Lucky Quiz is divided into two rounds. The first round is a quick-answer round with 36 questions total. Answer 1 question correctly to earn 1 point, with a maximum accumulation of 3 points.

The second round is a required-answer round with 36 questions total. Answer 1 question correctly to earn 1 point, answer 1 question incorrectly to lose 1 point. Those whose points are completely deducted will be eliminated.

The game ends after both rounds.”
