"Can't you just change it back...?"
Lu Li curled his lip, unconcerned.
Since the Commander could change the instruction once, they could naturally change it a second time.
That was the unique feature of his identity.
As long as it was within the time limit of sixty chimes, no matter how many times the Commander changed the instruction, it would remain valid.
After replying to Evelina, Lu Li immediately tried speaking up.
"Thinking it over again, I still feel that forty cycle periods is the more reliable answer. Everyone should choose forty cycle periods with me."
The moment he finished speaking, the mechanical announcement and the timed chimes rang out at the same time.
"The Commander has changed the instruction. Remaining Players, please make your choice."
"Hey! It really worked just like you said." Evelina went from tears to laughter, perking right back up. "So I've already made my choice. I can just lie back and relax from here on out, right?"
"Mm. At least for the rest of this question's time limit, you don't need to do anything else." Lu Li nodded, while part of his mind sank into deeper thought.
Although the answer was already quite obvious, as the first question, there could be no harm in thinking it over repeatedly before making a final choice.
"The Commander's instruction actually represents the choice of the majority of Players."
"If someone disagrees with the answer of 'forty cycle periods,' then all they need to do is pull the thin chain corresponding to the word 'Betrayal' to lock in their choice, right?"
"But doing that would also carry a certain risk—placing their fate in the Commander's hands."
"If, after they chose 'Betrayal,' the Commander changed the instruction again, wouldn't that mean they'd passively end up choosing another answer they didn't
