Although a "transfer limit" applied between players, "items" were a different matter.
When the piggy bank belonged to Li Xian, he could deposit all his points without regard for the limit, then return the "item" to Lin Shiming, successfully "smuggling" the points over.
The system probably hadn't expected anyone to trust another person enough to conduct a "transaction" through an item without fearing that they would break their promise or simply pocket it. That was how Li Xian had managed to exploit the loophole.
Lin Shiming hadn't betrayed that trust, either. While mapping the maze's paths, he had kept monitoring and calculating the fluctuations in the odds, looking for the most profitable moment.
To prevent the system from noticing anything unusual in the points being wagered, he had deliberately waited until after it announced the "betting cutoff time" to place his bets. That way, the system couldn't close betting early.
But the odds had continued to fall while he placed his bets, and he had also wasted some points earlier to provide a hint. Fortunately, Li Xian had supplied enough capital. If he won, the returns would come to exactly-

But if he lost, he would be penniless, and all their efforts would have been for nothing.
Everyone waited anxiously for the final five minutes to end. Yet Li Xian, who had been on the move from the very beginning, stopped at this final juncture and crouched on the ground, his expression unreadable. Many people thought he had given up.

Dropping liquid or a spherical object onto the ground would quickly reveal the difference in elevation. But without knowing whether the exit was "uphill" or "downhill,"
