Chapter 231: 231: Transfer of Topic Selection Rights
“Mr. Chang certainly speaks well,” Bai Youwei clapped her hands with gleeful eyes, “Whoever you are, have you decided yet?”
The man with the flat-topped hair shuddered in fear.
The rabbit stood right in front of him.
He shrank back and stuttered, “You’re right… we should… should unite. I… I choose to yield my question selection privilege to… Player number 3.”
The Inspector remained silent.
It saw everything.
From the moment Bai Youwei discovered the hidden rules, Yan Qingwen suggested a strategy to clear the game, Shen Mo threatened players with a fruit knife, Fei Ge resisted with his last breath, then came Bai Youwei’s use of the rabbit prop…Chang Weicai’s fervor…
One thing led to another.
Intimidation, and temptation.
The Inspector turned to the man with the flat-topped hair and asked softly, “Does the player confirm the decision to yield the question selection privilege? Once you give up, you will lose the advantage of choosing questions. Your current points stand at 1. If you answer one more question incorrectly…”
“Hey, didn’t you just say that you would conduct the game strictly according to the instructions?” Bai Youwei interrupted, her tone was very displeased. “What’s going on now? Deliberately inducing players to change their decision? Isn’t that considered tampering with the game’s balance? It seems you Inspectors love to talk the talk but not walk the walk! You flaunt your impartiality, don’t you find it ridiculous?”
The Inspector fell silent, and after a moment it responded, “My only wish is for players to consider their choices carefully before making important decisions.”
“Stop speaking eloquently!” Bai Youwei mocked it mercilessly, “Is the question selection considered an important decision? Earlier when Player 2 chose poetry, you didn’t give him the chance to rethink his decision. You stated that the question category was locked and could not be changed! Do you have dementia and simply lost your memory from a few moments ago?”
The Inspector once again fell silent:
Bai Youwei tilted her head, giving it a sarcastic smile: “Old fool, just officiate your game honestly. No underhanded tricks, don’t plan on killing any of the 20 people here~”
The elderly man in grey robe stood silently, all his emotions hidden beneath the shadowed brim of his cowl.
Shen Mo narrowed his eyes.
He remembered that this thing could summon hurricanes. Even though it looked like a feeble old man, it was undoubtedly a dangerous element.
Would it attack Bai Youwei?… As the Inspector, could it attack a player who hasn’t broken the rules?
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
Everyone has their eyes fixed on the Inspector in the center of the field.
After a few seconds, the old man in the grey robe moved. He slightly turned his body towards Tan Xiao:
“Player number 3, please choose a question category.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then mixed feelings of love and hate began to rise towards Bai Youwei.
They hated her for being very hateful! But loved her because she could really lead them to survive here!
As usual, Tan Xiao chose his weakest category, Math.
The Inspector didn’t immediately read the question.
It was silent for a long time before calmly reading:
“Question 4, a playground measures 100 meters in length and 50 meters in width, how many square meters is the total area of the playground?”
Tan Xiao exclaimed: “Wow, finally a challenging question! This is probably my limit for math!”
Inspector: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Suddenly, a tiny, subtle, sympathy towards the system began to develop in their hearts.
Hmm…
Next, the pointer landed on Yan Qingwen.
The Inspector asked: “Player number 7, will you yield your question selection privilege too?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Yan Qingwen.
Including the rabbit on the roulette wheel.
Yan Qingwen smirked and turned his head to ask Bai Youwei, “As far as I know, most props are disposable. Are you sure it can still discharge lightning?”
Bai Youwei kept a straight face, “If I say it can, would you believe it? Why don’t you try?”
Yan Qingwen didn’t want to try.
He smiled and looked at the Inspector and said, “I also yield my question selection privilege to player number 3.”
