The moment Jin Qiu plunged downward, Shen MO scooped Bai Youwei up and retreated to the side of a snail, watching the cave getting sttered with mud once again.
Their verbal confrontation momentarily ceased.
After over a dozen bounces, Jin Qiu fell into the snail’s mouth at an incredibly precise angle!
The snail sank under the force, sinking continuously! It stopped just as it sunk to the edge of the snail’s mouth—the ball stopped, all noise stopped, leaving only the clear gold ball faintly gleaming at the snail’s entrance.
Everyone’s gaze focused on Jin Qiu, even their breaths unavoidably slowing.
It seemed unbelievable.
After struggling for so long, enduring for so long, from the first round to the ninth round, they thought it was an unsolvable stalemate, yet now it had been cracked so easily?
It felt unreal.
Tan Xiao rubbed his eyes hard, staring at Jin Qiu stuck in the snail’s shell, “…Am I seeing things?”
Teacher Cheng’s eyes were moist with emotion, “This is the essential point, the essential point… A ball bouncing back and forth inside a hole seventy, eighty, or even a hundred times without falling into the mud, each bounce precisely hitting a snail. Probability-wise, that’s almost impossible! To produce continuous bounces, Jin Qiu’s movement trajectory must be calcted with precision! As long as you can calcte one point, you can find Jin Qiu!” Bai Youwei’s lips curled up, interpreting these words as praising her.
She uttered a nonchnt “Mhm,” and said, “The game rules state that the
Inspector could serve the ball from any position, at any angle, using any force. This sentence is meant to mislead us—to trick us into thinking the point of the ball’snding is random. They really went to great lengths, what with their smoking and reducing time limits, and even creating monsters to pressure the yers. But in the end… the game itself is just too simple. That’s why they needed these tricks to make the game confusing.”
“You’re calling my game simple?!” Jin Qiu locked in the shell of a snail let out a high-pitched shout, “My game is simple?! It took you nine rounds to clear it, and you have the audacity to call my game simple! You guys are the most shameless yers I’ve ever seen!!!”
Bai Youwei coldlyughed: “What are you excited about? You ought to know, too. The level of a game’s difficulty has nothing to do with its format. Instead, the actions of those within the game that require constant attention.”
Jin Qiu fell silent.
After a while, it said, pretending to be innocent: “I’ve always been watching you… but I just didn’t get it, hey, how did you find out? Was it really through calcting the essential point? That sure is a lot ofputation…” Bai Youwei fell silent.
After a few seconds, she turned to Tan Xiao, “It’s trying to buy time. The tadpoles areing out soon.”
Jin Qiu:
Tan Xiao:
Recalling the scene where tadpoles appeared in groups, Tan Xiao got goosebumps all over his body. He promptly stretched out his hands, firmly pressing down on Jin Qiu! —
Two mud handprints were left.
Jin Qiu:
A sigh echoed through the cave.
“Congrattions on clearing this game.”
Jin Qiu’s voice sounded dispirited.
“For winning the golden ball from the frog, you ought to receive a reward. The game has been cleared by five yers who can choose…”
Its voice paused before it continued: “…oh, the settlement rule has been changed. yers cannot choose their own rewards. They will be distributed by the Inspector. Five pieces of frog mud can be given to the five yers. Whoever finds Jin Qiu gets a bonus of a ‘Princess’s Friend’ Friendship Badge.”
It sighed again, slowly floating into the air: “Game rewards have been settled. You guys, make sure to cherish the rewards I gave you…”
A familiar white light emerged in front of them. Bai Youwei blinked her eyes and found herself back in the truck.
She had a lump of mud in her hand..
