"It doesn't matter who the undercover agent is, what's most important is getting this idiot out of here," Huang Rong said angrily, pointing at Duan Yu.
"Huh? Why!" Duan Yu looked aggrieved.
"You didn't watch the game's demo video, did you?!" Conan turned around and Duan Yu with dead fish eyes.
"I saw it!"
"Then do you know there's an undercover agent, and a blank card?" Ling Yi asked as well.
"I know!"
"Brother Duan, this game isn't about explaining things as clearly as possible!" Ip Man shook his head and explained.
Lü Shouyi then explained, "Brother Duan, the undercover agent's cards are different from ours. If the undercover agent can guess our cards, he can hide better."
"The goal of the game is to find the mole. Only by finding the mole can we win."
After hearing Lü Shouyi's words, Duan Yu finally understood and immediately apologized again.
He did watch the game's demo video, but only glanced at it.
Ultimately, this guy wasn't really interested in the game. Like I said, he had no intention of entering the Game Space at all; he was busy pursuing his Fairy Sister right now.
Game Space and treasure chests—nothing compares to the allure of Fairy Sister!
"It's the second game. In the next game, you'll get what you want and be completely eliminated, but we don't want to lose," Conan said quietly.
"I agree with Sister Huang. We should vote Duan Yu out first, otherwise it's no different from having our cards revealed!"
The others remained silent, clearly agreeing with the suggestion, as they all coveted the treasure chest. However, Duan Yu's attitude towards the game left them somewhat dissatisfied.
Ling Yi glanced at the group, lingering on Lü Shouyi for a few seconds before turning his attention to the red team without offering any comment.
Anyway, he can just follow the crowd.
"He's got some skills, I really underestimated him!"
For some reason, the more Ling Yi looked at Lü Shouyi, the less he felt that Lü Shouyi was like Lü Shouyi, and more like Lu Bingkun No More Bets.
If it were a bit greasy and arrogant, it would have even more of that flavor.
While Ling Yi and his group were discussing, Bai Xiaofei and his group on the other side were also having their own discussion.
" Yao Lao, are you serious about this being usable as medicine?" Bai Xiaofei was the first to fire at Yao Lao.
"I am an Yaoshi, and to me, everything can be used as medicine," the Yao Lao said with a faint smile.
"For example, Qi-Invigorating Pill can be made using this medicine. After taking it, it can slowly increase one's strength. The better the quality, the better the effect."
Bai Xiaofei thought to himself, "This thing can be used to refine pills? This is the first time I've ever heard of it. If I could bring this Yao Chen into my world, wouldn't I be able to obtain a continuous supply of Qi-Invigorating Pill?"
"Miss Ji, are you sure you can Hua Wei a puppet, the kind that can be controlled and completely obey its master's commands?"
"Of course!" Ji Ziyue nodded.
"Is the refining method complicated? You know, some of them are incredibly powerful, capable of allowing one to fly Earth Escape!"
Bai Xiaofei clearly didn't know he was an undercover agent; he still thought he was just an ordinary player like everyone else.
Or rather, it was deliberate; everyone else, just like him, was busy finding their own mole.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofei's answer, everyone turned to look at him.
Ji Ziyue's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled faintly and said, "We don't need to discuss this anymore; the undercover agent's identity is out in the open!"
"Haha, Brother Bai, sorry," Yao Lao laughed.
"He really is an idiot." Nami rolled her eyes.
Bai Xiaofei finally realized what was happening and said, both amused and exasperated, "I really am an idiot, a huge idiot. I was busy helping everyone find the undercover agent, and it turns out I'm the undercover agent?"
"So, does this mean we won?" Nami asked with a grin.
Yao Chen and the others nodded.
According to the rules, as long as the mole is identified beforehand, the regular players and the mole player on the opposing team will be the winning side.
At this moment, it wasn't just Ling Yi who was paying attention to the Red Team; Conan, Lü Shouyi, and Ip Man were also keeping an eye on them.
Ling Yi was utterly speechless about Bai Xiaofei.
Indeed, where there is a sleeping dragon, there will surely be Fledgling Phoenix.
On the blue team's side, Duan Yu was completely dazed, while on the red team's side, Bai Xiaofei was equally confused.
You might say these two are stupid, but they're actually not.
However, one of them isn't really into the game, while the other probably hasn't fully gotten into the game yet.
Bai Xiaofei's elimination is almost certain.
However, Bai Xiaofei's elimination does not mean the game is over.
There's a blank card on the table, after all.
If there are no blank cards, then the game ends in the first round, and the red team wins.
However, according to the game rules, if there is a blank card, and the blank card has not selected a faction.
So even if the mole is found beforehand, the game won't end; the blank card still needs to be found.
If no blank card can be found, then all players except the player with the blank card lose.
Conversely, a blank card wins.
The situation is now very unfavorable for Conan and his friends.
"We can't waste our voting chances on Brother Duan. If we can't find the mole in the first round as well, then we've lost!" Ip Man said in a deep voice.
"Unless, there's a blank card," Conan said.
"It's uncertain whether a blank card will appear; we can't gamble on that!" Huang Rong shook her head.
"Therefore, we must find the undercover agent." Ling Yi made his presence known.
He can't stay silent forever, otherwise he'll definitely arouse suspicion.
"But we have absolutely no idea Who Is the Undercover!"
At this moment, Lü Shouyi was in a dilemma.
After tasting the sweetness of the treasure chest, he became even more eager to win, but seeing Ip Man and the others' anxious expressions, he felt a pang of pity.
In particular, he didn't want Ling Yi to lose.
The others were irrelevant to Lü Shouyi; Ling Yi had practically handed him the victory for free in the previous game of Werewolf.
Ling Yi saved his life.
But what if he Self-Destruct his undercover identity? Will he be considered a cheater? And then the game will judge him as a cheater, leading to his complete elimination, erasure of his memories, and reverting him to an ordinary person?
Just like in the previous game of Werewolf, Ling Yi failed to fulfill his role as the hunter and was warned by the game.
This is precisely what Lü Shouyi is truly struggling with.
After much deliberation, Lü Shouyi finally made his choice.
This favor must be repaid.
Taking a deep breath, Lü Shouyi his hand and said, "Sorry, in this round, I'm the undercover agent!"
"Brother Lü, are you really an undercover agent? Don't get me wrong, you know, an undercover agent doesn't know their own identity."
As soon as Lü Shouyi opened his mouth, Ip Man and the others knew what Lü Shouyi meant.
This means sacrificing oneself to secure a draw and give everyone a chance for a tiebreaker.
"Your Identity Token are all for corpses, right? Mine is for zombies. After you finished explaining, Brother Duan, I already knew I was an undercover agent."
Now everyone was speechless.
Ling Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lü, we are all grateful for your help this round, but a game is a game after all, and games have their rules."
"Your Self-Destruct behavior is dangerous and could trigger the game's hidden rules, just like in the last game of Werewolf, which would result in your immediate elimination."
"The game already gave me a warning, but thankfully it was only the first time, so it was just a warning," Lü Shouyi said with a sigh of relief.
As long as I'm not eliminated directly from the game, nothing else matters.
"Actually, you didn't need to reveal everything directly. You could have given us a hint so we would understand what you meant," Huang Rong said.
"I'm afraid that won't work!" Lü Shouyi shook his head.
"Why?"
"I'm afraid it's pointless no matter how much we try to hide it. The Game Space is all about the players' attitude and the fairness of the game. That's what the game prompts are really warning about," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
"That makes sense!" Lü Shouyi nodded.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Since they were inside the Game Space, the Game Space was probably fully aware of all their thoughts and actions.
There was simply no way to fool the Game Space.
Lü Shouyi did indeed take a risk this time.
"Alright, let's start the next round. Let's not waste the opportunity Brother Lü fought for," Conan said, clapping his hands.
Just then, the three-minute discussion time ended, and the game notifications followed.
[Please vote for the Red Team's mole: 10, 9, 8...]
At the same time, six red cesium buttons appeared in front of each person.
The red team unanimously voted for No. 5.
Meanwhile, the blue team threw the ball haphazardly.
Because the vote was for the red team's mole, the votes from the blue team players only counted as half.
The outcome is basically clear now, so no matter how you vote, it won't change the red team's voting result.
If the identity of the undercover agent is unclear, then these half of the votes might have an unexpected effect.
[Please vote for the blue team's mole: 10, 9, 8...]
The voting results were as expected: Bai Xiaofei from the red team and Lü Shouyi from the blue team were both eliminated in this round.
[Attention all players, the game continues!]
Just as everyone was preparing for the next game, the system prompted them to continue.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, received a notification that was unique to him as a player with a blank card.
[ Yu Shuang' undercover agents were eliminated in the first round, according to the game rules, players with blank cards are automatically considered to be on the independent side.]
It seems this rule isn't one of the 11 rules of the game.
It should be a hidden rule.
After all, if both sides' undercover agents are eliminated in the first round, the blank cards will not have the opportunity to choose a side.
The game offers only two choices: end it and start the next round.
Blank cards are void in this round.
To make use of blank cards, the game must continue.
Without the option to choose a faction, Ling Yi now has to fight all the other players alone.
"The game isn't over yet?" Huang Rong exclaimed.
"There are blank cards!" Ip Man said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at Lü Shouyi, who was now frozen.
"So, Brother Lü's Self-Destruct was for nothing?" Huang Rong asked.
Ling Yi shook his head. "You can't say that. After all, no one knows if there are any blank cards in this round. Lü Shouyi's approach is the safest."
"Yes, everyone only has three consecutive chances to lose. We've already lost once. If we lose this one, we'll only have one chance left," Conan nodded.
"So, does that mean a blank card can't choose a side? Does that mean he's going to challenge all nine of us by himself? Doesn't that mean a blank card is doomed to lose?"
Duan Yu, who had been just observing, suddenly spoke up, as if he now understood.
"That's true, but it's not that easy!" Ip Man shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Yes, the blank card also knows what our poem title is. The blank card can easily hide itself, so it will be difficult to find it!" Ling Yi shook his head as well.
Just then, the game's prompts rang in everyone's minds again.
[Please have Blue Team No. 1 state their position: ten, nine...]
