Mutual Probing

In a short time, Yimo had already become close friends with An Bingyan.

Well, how should I put it?

It wasn't that Yimo's charm was genuine; he simply exploited An Bingyan's hatred for Tong Muxue.

When two people share a common enemy, it's easy for them to come together.

An Bingyan: "By the way, Tong Muxue said the 'Eye of the Abyss' is in your hands."

Yimo was taken aback by what Tong Muxue said, pondering why she would say such a thing.

He did indeed have an "Eye of the Abyss" in his hand, inside the pocket of that long knitted sweater.

But that one was fake; I only kept it because Yimo it would be useful.

Should I just say it's lost, afraid An Bingyan won't believe me and will get angry?

Yimo didn't know how Tong Muxue and An Bingyan had met before, but she knew one thing: if she gave the fake "Eye of the Abyss" to An Bingyan, she would definitely find out soon.

But since An Bingyan had already accepted them, Yimo couldn't refuse her, so he took out the fake "Eye of the Abyss" from his pocket and gave it to An Bingyan.

He even specially helped An Bingyan put it around her neck.

An Bingyan was particularly happy looking at the fake "Eye of the Abyss." After hesitating for a moment, she asked Yimo, "Look, isn't it beautiful?"

Yimo: "It's a million times prettier than when Tong Muxue wore it!"

Upon hearing this, An Bingyan was overjoyed and smiled genuinely for the first time.

Yimo that An Bingyan was actually quite cute when she didn't speak or have a stern face.

Look, just wearing a fake "Eye of the Abyss" makes the child this happy.

After being happy for a while, An Bingyan suddenly moved closer to Yimo and said, somewhat puzzled, "By the way, Sakuta."

"You say Tong Muxue lied to you and doesn't care about you, so why did she put the 'Eye of the Abyss' on you?"

Isn't this the most important thing for both of you?

Yimo hadn't expected An Bingyan to have this kind of thinking, and blurted out, "If we get caught, will you pin it all on me and portray yourself as the victim?"

An Bingyan gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, that Tong Muxue is too wicked!"

An Bingyan believed her immediately and even comforted Yimo, saying, "Don't worry, I'll shift all the blame onto Tong Muxue."

After chatting about their plans for a while, Yimo and An Bingyan's relationship had progressed to the point where Yi Mo could directly call her "Bingyan".

Before leaving, An Bingyan, to comfort Yimo's "wounded" heart, deliberately blushed slightly and said to Yimo, "Well, although I really can't accept cross-dressing, you actually look quite good in women's clothes."

"In fact, I feel that the 'Eye of the Abyss' would suit you better than mine."

Yimo replied firmly, "No, I will never cross-dress again."

Seeing that Yimo was aware of this, An Bingyan expressed her support and quickly told a servant to take Yimo to change his clothes.

An Family's Castle is quite large, and there are quite a few clothes available, of all kinds.

After taking a shower and changing into men's clothing, Yimo, who had also gained the right to move freely within the An Family, decided to continue searching for An Bingyan.

1. I wanted to keep her away from Tong Muxue. After all, I had made Tong Muxue look too bad today, Yimo was really afraid that An Bingyan might do something if she got angry.

2. "Eye of the Abyss" is fake. An Bingyan will definitely find out, but the later she finds out, the better.

Otherwise, even if Yimo had a thousand reasons to fool An Bingyan, it would still be a troublesome matter if she really tried to find the "Eye of the Abyss".

But An Family's Castle- like residence was so huge and outrageously luxurious that Yimo got lost.

As it turned out, I ran into Wan Qianhua in a reception room.

At this moment, Wan Qianhua was wearing a Suit, still as sunny and handsome as ever, with a touch of gentleness between his brows, probably the type that older, wealthy women love most.

Holding a wine glass, he smiled when he saw Yimo and said, "Sakuta, come sit down for a while and have a drink?"

Yimo was somewhat puzzled as to why Wan Qianhua could remain so calm, but he didn't show it. He walked over, didn't take the wine glass Wan Qianhua offered, sat down on the sofa opposite him, and said softly, "Why can you remain so calm in this Death Game?"

Wan Qianhua didn't insist that Yimo take the wine glass. After placing it on the table, she picked up her own glass, swirled the red wine inside a few times, admired its vibrant color, and then looked at Yimo, smiling, "Yimo, it really was you who was hindering my contact with An Bingyan from the very beginning."

"You're good."

"However, it seems that there weren't many Death Game, and there weren't any Death Game with a super-large world background."

With just three sentences, Yimo's opinion of Wan Qianhua improved considerably.

Wan Qianhua played many Game and had a certain inexplicable confidence.

It was as if he was certain he wouldn't die in this Game.

Is it possible that even without meeting the Game Rules's winning conditions, he still has a way to complete the Game?

Yimo, unaware of this, decided to probe. "My favorability rating with Tong Muxue is already 65%."

"Heh, aren't you afraid?"

Wan Qianhua's smile remained unchanged; instead, she shook her head. "Sakuta, lying isn't a good habit."

Yimo: "In Death Game, are there honest people?"

Wan Qianhua: "People who are absolutely confident are probably more honest."

"After all, if the opponent becomes an ant that can be easily manipulated, there's no need to lie, right?"

Yimo sneered, "But I am not an ant."

Wan Qianhua nodded. "Yes, you are very capable, you are definitely not an ant. I am not so powerful that I can look down on other Death Game Player."

"Yimo, your victory conditions are different from others."

Yimo looked at Wan Qian without saying a word.

Wan Qianhua leisurely sipped her red wine, pouring some more into her glass. "Don't lie to me, I'm special; I only enter romance Game."

"Based on my understanding of girls, given Tong Muxue's personality, her feelings for you are probably over 70%."

"But this Game is not over."

"It's clear that your conditions for victory are different from others."

"Hehe, you're really lucky. You actually triggered a side quest in the Game, and it's even one with special victory conditions."

"I played 13 Romance Game, and only triggered the event twice."

"Thinking about it carefully, the difficulty of those two Game was simply outrageously high."

"However, the Points awarded for a victory are incomparable to those for a regular Game win."

As Wan Qianhua spoke, she stood up and said, "Do you know?"

"Dating Game are the most difficult type of Death Game."

"Once the heroine you want to romance reaches a certain level of affection with a Player, it becomes very difficult for other Player to successfully romance her."

"Therefore, they will stop at nothing to kill the Player with the highest favorability rating."

"But even so, it certainly doesn't guarantee victory in the Game."

"It's possible for all Game Player to lose the Game."

"I don't know how difficult your special victory condition is, but I do know that the individual victory condition is definitely more difficult than the initial victory condition."

"And for other Game Player besides you, the difficulty lies in your presence."

Yimo looked at Wan Qianhua and said calmly, "So, besides trying to show that you're a master of love-related Death Game, what else are you trying to say?"

"Heh, since you haven't played other types of Death Game, how do you know they're easier?"

"It seems you're not that confident after all, and you need to deceive me with lies."

Wan Qianhua: "Although I've never played it, I've heard others talk about it quite a few times."

"I've digressed; let's get back to the main point."

"Exclusive Victory Condition does not necessarily Conflict with the original victory condition."

I'd like to know your Exclusive Victory Condition.

"I will help you achieve your Game victory conditions, and you also need to help me raise Tong Muxue's favorability towards me to 70%."

"Of course, I can help you finish this first, and then I'll finish mine."

"After all, Exclusive Victory Condition are generally outside the Game Rules, meaning that your elimination doesn't prevent me from continuing the Game."

"But once I've fulfilled the general rules of winning this Game, you're guaranteed to die."

"How about it?"

"I've already shown great sincerity, how about we consider joining forces?"

At this moment, Yimo had actually secretly opened the Game system interface and checked his victory conditions.

It's true that if one Game wins the Game, other Player will Game.

So, will Yimo join forces with Wan Qianhua?

Yimo stood up, walked to Wan Qianhua's side, and forcefully pressed down on his shoulder, forcing him to sit back down on the sofa. "I don't know what you're talking about."

All I know is that Tong Muxue is my girlfriend now. Anyone who tries to seduce Tong Muxue is just cheating on me.

"Heh, trying to cheat on me?"

"Sorry, maybe in the next life."

Since Wan Qianhua dared to talk to him about the Death Game, it meant that his appearance here and their encounter was an accident, not a trap set by An Bingyan. She could speak frankly about her true feelings for Tong Muxue.

As for cooperation.

Yimo's attitude is already very clear.

He will not cooperate with any Player in this Game.

"Also, this is the first time I've ever heard of side quests in Game. Thank you for telling me this information."

"So there's a separate victory condition in the Death Game."

"But is this the truth or a lie?"

Yimo scrutinized Wan Qianhua, then suddenly smiled meaningfully. She leaned down, whispered in Wan Qianhua's ear, and said in a teasing tone, "It should be the truth."

"Because your victory conditions are related to An Bingyan."

"You've said all that simply because I discovered the unique nature of your victory conditions, so you're trying to draw my attention to Tong Muxue."

Yimo speaking, Yi Mo didn't give Wan Qianhua a chance to speak. She had already moved away from Wan Qianhua and turned to walk towards the hallway.

As he walked, he kept shouting, "Romance Game, oh Romance Game!"

"Heh... To have to play a Romance Game online is really going too far."

"Female lead? Second female lead?"

"Heh... I don't care if he has a third or fourth woman!"

All I know is that this is Romance Game.

"If I, Sakuta, encounter a female lead, I'll take them all!"

As Wan Qianhua watched Yimo's departing figure, her eyes gradually narrowed, and she swirled her wine glass a few times.

After a moment, he shook his head with a smile and said in a voice only he could hear, "So, your conditions for victory aren't that simple after all."

"Hehe..."

"This is getting more and more interesting."

"Sakuta, the Game's side quest really exists."

"But..."

"It's Romance Game; only one Game Player can survive to the end."

"You can continue to openly attract the attention of other Game Player."

After saying that, he downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
