Ch. 73


Chapter 73

【Does Player C confirm quitting the game?】

Bai Xuechao said without hesitation, "Confirm."

He did not go back on his word, appearing very sincere, which made Ling Feng feel more at ease.

【Player C quit the game】

【Settlement in progress...】

【Player C has 1 remaining System life rope, which cannot be exchanged back for game coins.】

【Player C obtained a total of 2,241,666,670 game coins.】

【Current game coins in prize pool: 230,000,001】

【Counting current game coins of other players】

【Player A: 429,999,998】

【Player B: 382,333,331】

The swing board beneath Bai Xuechao's feet slowly lifted and flattened, re-tied to the loosened ropes. He moved his steps back to the center of the swing board.

He didn't sit down again; he simply stood on the swing, watching the two continue the game.

Because game coins could be transferred after the game ended, and it didn't matter who got the game coins, Zhou Chenhao simply stopped answering questions, letting Ling Feng answer the remaining ones.

While Ling Feng was answering, Xiao 6 said that Bai Guzi had clicked "confirm completion," and all of Bai Xuechao's side quests were now displayed as complete.

Bai Xuechao "hmm"-ed.

Very quickly, Ling Feng answered four questions correctly, and a prompt appeared on the big screen.

【The remaining game coins in the prize pool, 30,000,001, are insufficient for a full round of rewards.】

【Game over, settlement in progress...】

【Player A current game coins: 629,999,998】

【Player B current game coins: 382,333,331】

【Player A achieved final victory】

【Player A received the remaining game coins in the prize pool. Current game coins: 659,999,999】

The game finally ended.

The scene inside the game room changed again.

The lights on the stone wall of the deep pit below the swing extinguished, returning to a void of darkness. The room reverted to a square shape, the large screen on the floor disappeared, and was re-hung on the innermost wall. The swing descended and moved horizontally, transforming into four soft sofa chairs opposite the big screen.

Their seats, according to the game order, were Bai Xuechao, Zhou Chenhao, an empty chair, and Ling Feng, from left to right.

At this moment, Gong Ting appeared on the only empty sofa chair, still with bloodstains on his clothes, his head resting against the backrest, still unconscious with his eyes tightly closed.

Lines of text displayed on the big screen.

【Continue the game?】

【Detected City Lord temporarily unconscious, game cannot continue.】

【Game over, please redeem rewards from the prize pool.】

【Detected City Lord's game coin amount is 0, cancellation of redemption.】

【Player A, please begin redemption】

Then, the big screen displayed all the rewards in the prize pool.

Ling Feng's special ability, eyes, hands, and personality that he had redeemed appeared at the forefront, displayed in red font, with their corresponding values marked next to them.

Following these were the items redeemed by Gong Ting, Zhou Chenhao, and Bai Xuechao in this game.

Besides these, there were many unfamiliar names, followed by various redeemed items, which were likely left by previous players. Gong Ting had not redeemed these items, and no one knew where he had spent the game coins he had won.

Ling Feng redeemed all the items he had put up.

【Player A game coin amount: 119,999,999】

Ling Feng said, "I want to transfer all the remaining game coins to Zhou Chenhao."

【Does Player A confirm transferring all game coins to Player B?】

Ling Feng said, "Confirm."

【Player B game coin amount: 502,333,330】

【Player B, please begin redemption】

Zhou Chenhao had only redeemed his special ability and personality, with the special ability valued at 300 million and the personality at 289 million.

Earlier, he had already agreed, under the System's witness, to Bai Xuechao's segmented redemption of his personality. Therefore, after redeeming his special ability, the remaining 202,333,330 game coins temporarily redeemed 70% of his personality, according to the proportion of the total value.

His agreement with Bai Xuechao was to mortgage 20% of his personality.

Now it was Bai Xuechao's turn to fulfill his promise and lend him game coins.

"Hmm, 10 million isn't enough for you to redeem 80%," Bai Xuechao calculated mentally and said, "Redeeming 80% of your personality requires 231.2 million."

Zhou Chenhao scratched his hair, revealing a somewhat goofy smile: "Then what do we do?"

What else could they do?

Was the male lead asking intentionally?

Bai Xuechao still had to maintain his current righteous stance, so he said, "System, I want to transfer 28,866,670 game coins to Zhou Chenhao."

This number exceeded the 10 million he initially stated.

【Does Player C confirm transferring 28,866,670 game coins to Player B?】

Bai Xuechao said, "Confirm."

"Oh oh!" Zhou Chenhao's smile became even more genuine and sincere. He friendly reached out and patted Bai Xuechao's shoulder next to him, "Thanks!"

Ling Feng's expression seemed somewhat surprised; he didn't know what he was thinking about.

【Player C game coin amount: 2,212,800,000】

Zhou Chenhao continued to invest the game coins he received into redemption, successfully redeeming 80% of his personality.

He stood up, first stretching his limbs, feeling their agility, then somewhat confused, he said, "I don't have any problems now? My consciousness is also very normal."

After speaking, he suddenly bent down and leaned close to Bai Xuechao's slender neck.

Xiao 6 excitedly returned to its old profession (?), raising a red heart and shouting, "Aw aw aw, I'm going to ship them!"

Bai Xuechao remained unmoving.

Zhou Chenhao sniffed at his neck like a puppy.

Bai Xuechao had not taken the X8 pill today, but he controlled the lure-pheromone very well; the scent of Plum Blossom in Snow was very faint, like a very small amount of perfume had been sprayed, only noticeable up close.

In fact, when he was sitting next to Bai Xuechao earlier, Zhou Chenhao could already smell it, but he only got closer again to confirm his own state.

After smelling Bai Xuechao, he ran to Ling Feng's side to smell him, and Ling Feng slapped him in the face.

Ling Feng's expression was somewhat speechless: "That's enough."

Xiao 6 spun in circles, hugging its red heart: "Their interactions are also so shippable!"

"Vision, hearing, touch, smell, there's no difference?" Zhou Chenhao folded his arms across his chest, then suddenly thought of something, "Could it be taste?"

He raised one hand and looked down at it, seemingly considering whether to take a bite of himself and try.

【Player C, please begin redemption】

"Stop guessing," Bai Xuechao said expressionlessly, "You'll know after I'm done redeeming."

Zhou Chenhao clapped his hand, suddenly enlightened: "That's true."

Bai Xuechao redeemed his life and personality, still having 757,800,000 game coins left.

【Player C initiated self-redemption】

Bai Xuechao first redeemed the remaining 20% of Zhou Chenhao's personality.

The moment he obtained this 20% of Zhou Chenhao's personality, he knew how to use the authority of this segmented personality and what impact it would have on Zhou Chenhao.

But he didn't say it out loud; instead, he showed a somewhat interested expression and asked Zhou Chenhao, "Do you feel anything now?"

As if he had no idea how to use it.

Zhou Chenhao was even more confused: "I don't feel anything?"

"Then you might gradually discover it later," Bai Xuechao said. "Don't you have my contact information?"

Ling Feng also asked him, "Do you feel anything?"

Bai Xuechao said, "No."

Since he said so, Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng could only believe him, after all, they didn't have game coins to experiment with it themselves.

Bai Xuechao then used 200 million game coins to release Xia Xiaoxi.

The leftmost wall of the room vibrated. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, vaguely hearing something moving behind the wall, emitting the sound of bricks and stones rubbing.

Not long after, the wall opened into a stone door, revealing a secret room.

The secret room was pitch black, without any light source.

When the lights from the game room shone through the open stone door, the blond girl with low twin ponytails, sitting on the ground, seemed to have been without light for too long. She couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes, squinting her emerald green eyes.

Even though it was hard to see clearly at the moment, Zhou Chenhao's red-and-black head was too conspicuous. She said in surprise, "Hot-pot, have you all come?"

"Yes!" Zhou Chenhao walked into the secret room and pulled Xia Xiaoxi up from the ground, "Ling Feng, Bai Xuechao, and I are all here."

Xia Xiaoxi was a bit surprised: "Bai Xuechao is also here?"

By this time, she had also adapted to the light, lowering the hand shielding her eyes. She indeed saw the slender, white-haired youth standing behind Zhou Chenhao. His posture was tall and elegant, wearing a suit jacket with a pure white and red-and-white plaid spliced design, with clean white casual pants below, his legs straight and long.

He smiled gently at her: "We meet again."

"Yes, we meet again," Xia Xiaoxi also smiled, "What a coincidence."

Zhou Chenhao saw that she still wasn't coming out of the secret room and said, "Let's go."

"Wait!" Xia Xiaoxi not only didn't leave the secret room but ran back. She pointed at the ceiling in the corner and said, "Look there!"

Everyone followed the direction of her finger.

Borrowing the light shining into the secret room, they then noticed a small red crystal embedded at the very top of the corner, faintly reflecting a slight glimmer in the dark corner.

— Special ability energy crystal!

Instead of being surprised, Zhou Chenhao's and Ling Feng's first reaction was to look at Bai Xuechao.

No other reason, Bai Xuechao was the true winner of the game.

Although not yet redeemed, Gong Ting's special ability — Dream Game City — was already his possession. Given that this special ability energy crystal belonged to Dream Game City, its ownership should now have changed from Gong Ting to Bai Xuechao.

Bai Xuechao was now the owner of this special ability energy crystal.

"Congratulations," However, Bai Xuechao did not discuss the ownership of the special ability energy crystal. He merely curved his eyebrows slightly, a gentle smile in his eyes, and said to Xia Xiaoxi, "We have already defeated Gong Ting. Since you discovered this special ability energy crystal, it is yours."

Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng both widened their eyes, somewhat incredulous.

It, it was just given to Xia Xiaoxi?

That was a special ability energy crystal!

Did Bai Xuechao not care about the special ability energy crystal at all?

While they were brainstorming, Xia Xiaoxi didn't know their thoughts. She grabbed Zhou Chenhao's clothes and dragged him towards the corner: "What are you staring blankly for? Go get it!"

"Oh..." Zhou Chenhao looked at Bai Xuechao again before going to get it.

Bai Xuechao's expression was indifferent, seemingly truly unconcerned.

Zhou Chenhao, relying on his good physical fitness and tall stature with long arms, directly jumped up and grabbed the special ability energy crystal embedded in the corner, breaking it off.

Xiao 6 finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... The male lead got the special ability energy crystal, plot complete!"

Xia Xiaoxi had been rescued, and Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng had no intention of staying there for long. They immediately wanted to leave with Xia Xiaoxi.

Perhaps because they had obtained the special ability energy crystal, the longer it stayed in their hands, the more dangerous they would become, so it was better to hand it over to the SAIDB sooner.

"Goodbye," they said to Bai Xuechao.

Bai Xuechao waved his hand: "Goodbye."

After the three left, Ji Chuanze, who had been waiting next door, directly opened the door and walked in.

His expression looked unhappy, and his first sentence was: "Why did you let that red-and-black-haired guy sniff you earlier? Normally, you give me a death glare if I get too close."

Bai Xuechao: "?"

First of all, when did he ever roll his eyes?
