People Cannot Be Treated the Same

Last night was a restless night.

In PrayerUnderDreams's own words, it was like he spent the whole night climbing blocks.

In the simplest yet most detailed terms, PrayerUnderDreams recounted his experiences with computer Game... including the Game he played, Tetris.

The Tetris falling from the sky won't damage other Item in the room; instead, they'll mysteriously overlap. However, if someone gets hit by a block, they'll likely suffer severe injuries.

Fortunately, even when the lights are turned off at 11 o'clock, the surface of the Tetris falling from the sky is covered with a faint glow, so you won't be completely blind.

--Then PrayerUnderDreams spent the entire night climbing and hiding among the blocks.

"This thing is simply inhuman..."

As PrayerUnderDreams uttered these words with a pained expression, her legs were still trembling slightly.

"In just one night, I felt like I climbed at least hundreds of flights of stairs. Do you know how tiring it is to keep going up and down like that?"

"I play [Snake] and [Tank Battle]."

He stretched his arm, which was wrapped tightly in gauze, and stared at the bow tied on it. He glanced at the Night Owl next to him Bai Zhi began to speak with a hint of helplessness.

"The [Snake] Game requires you to avoid a small snake that can pass through any obstacle and swims through the air within an hour. At the same time, you must break the randomly appearing light spots in the room before the snake can grow. Otherwise, if you are touched by the Snake, your flesh and blood will disappear."

As he spoke, Bai Zhi showed off his arm.

"Some of these wounds on my body were caused by the snake eating me, and some were inflicted by the Extreme Evil Squadron."

"Extreme Evil Squadron... and I'm still playing Crazy Diamond."

PrayerUnderDreams rolled her eyes.

"These things aren't important; what's important is the score you get after completing the Game."

Shaking his head, Bai Zhi took his card out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

"I completed [Snake] and [Tank Battle], earning a total of four points from the basic completion reward, plus an additional four points from these two Mini-game, for a total of eight points... How many points did you earn?"

As he spoke, Bai Zhi glanced towards PrayerUnderDreams.

"Uh... four o'clock."

After a slight pause, PrayerUnderDreams nodded.

"But I don't think these points are very useful, there's no instruction manual or anything... Did you play two Game last night?"

"Let's talk about the specifics later. What about you two?"

Shi Bai waved his hand and looked at Night Owl and Zither-Drum Harmony, especially Zither-Drum Harmony, who had the best complexion among everyone present.

"Me? I was tormented by the knocking on the door all night yesterday..."

As he packed the leftover bandages and medical supplies into his Inventory, the Night Owl pouted, seemingly quite resentful.

"Knocking from outside the door, knocking from inside the bathroom, knocking from inside the closet, knocking from inside the refrigerator... I spent the whole night in fear and didn't sleep well at all. Luckily, I had a streetlight."

"Hmm... since there's no danger, I think you can just put on your headphones, play some music, and go to sleep."

Reaching out and touching his chin, Bai Zhi made a very serious suggestion.

"Someone is knocking on the bathroom door, someone is knocking on the closet door, someone is knocking on the refrigerator door... Are you sure you can sleep in this situation?"

Turning to look at him, the Night Owl spoke softly.

"Sure! / No problem!!"

Both Heavenless Heretic and PrayerUnderDreams raised their hands.

"I didn't ask either of you!!!"

"... I feel like our experiences are a bit different."

After a slight hesitation, Zither-Drum Harmony began to speak.

"I also played Game on my computer last night, but the same thing didn't happen as you guys... Maybe it's because we chose different Game?"

In the end, Zither-Drum Harmony himself became somewhat uncertain.

What Game are you playing?

Bai Zhi turned to look at her.

"...[Me and My Twenty Scumbag Boyfriends]."

The Zither-Drum Harmony sounded in harmony as they covered their faces.

"So you became one of those twenty scumbag boyfriends?"

Bai Zhi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Or did twenty of them appear in your room...?"

"It's decided, I'm going to try out [The Flower That Blooms in the Mirror] tonight!!"

In the ensuing silence, PrayerUnderDreams slammed her hand on the table and resolutely began to speak.

"It's just a normal Game, without any of that weird stuff... I've already said my experience is different from yours."

He glared at Bai Zhi, Zither-Drum Harmony's reply was rather weak.

"Oh, so how do I earn points?"

Bai Zhi remained calm.

"A little."

"No... nothing strange happened in your room?"

Listening to the questions and answers among the crowd, Heavenless Heretic couldn't help but ask as well.

"Uh... I did watch movies all night before this mission, so I'm still very sleepy."

Reaching out to scratch her cheek, Zither-Drum Harmony began to speak, somewhat embarrassed.

"After playing Game for about two hours, and seeing that it was almost time to turn off the lights, I put on an eye mask and headphones and went to bed early. I slept until about 6:30, and when I woke up, the lights came on at 7:00. After a quick wash, I went out."

Everyone: "..."

The first night spent in this Apartment Building was not a pleasant experience for anyone except for the harmonious Zither-Drum Harmony.

Heavenless Heretic fought against a room full of blood and hair all night; PrayerUnderDreams mountains and ran around dodging blocks and grids all night; Bai Zhi played hide-and-seek with the Snake and tanks in the room all night; the Night Owl was startled by the knocking on the door that had been going on all night... Zither-Drum Harmony slept comfortably all night.

Therefore, one cannot generalize about people.

The note I left on the table yesterday has disappeared.

Bai Zhi picked up the note he had left on the table yesterday to weigh down the paper, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Where is the Ingredient Area located?"

"Over there in the Entertainment Area."

After a moment's thought, Zither-Drum Harmony, the most spirited among them, gave the answer.

"... About hetushu. com?"
