"Ah!"
Fengfeng stumbled back several steps, feeling a little frightened as she looked at the girl, who was still smiling.
"You..."
Dong~ Dong~
The bell rang.
The space of the Rock-Paper-Scissors Game began expanding, enveloping the five people standing outside it.
A Light Screen appeared, displaying the trial's detailed rules.
[Each person has 20 ordinary chips. There are three trials in total. After all three trials end, whoever has the most chips wins.] [First trial: Rock-Paper-Scissors Game]
The game itself was very simple: basic rock-paper-scissors.
Everyone had to play rock-paper-scissors once against each of the other four, wagering their own chips during the game, with a minimum of one and no upper limit.
"Ahem."
Zhao Lin cleared her throat.
Her figure appeared directly above the space, and she spoke in an extremely "authoritative" tone:
"Welcome to these Trial Grounds. The 20 chips are merely your complimentary starting chips. If anyone needs more chips, look over there."
She pointed into the near distance.
There was a platform there for exchanging chips.
"You can exchange one Train Coin for five chips. Alternatively, items worth more than one Train Coin can be exchanged for an equivalent number of chips. After the three trials end, whoever has the most chips wins this trial."
"As for those who lose... heh-heh."
"Now, let the trial begin."
What would happen to the losers?
Nothing, actually. Zhao Lin simply thought saying that sounded cool.
As the holder of the Game Card, she concealed herself within that space.
As the trial began.
The others seemed very interested in exchanging items or Train Coins for chips. After all, according to the rules, the more chips they had, the greater their advantage.
In fact, as long as they exchanged enough, they could simply wager one chip in each round
