Chapter 453 - 452: Mobile NPCs Have No Human Rights
Chapter 453 - 452: Mobile NPCs Have No Human Rights
Although the rules of this transposition game don’t seem too difficult.
But having experienced the previous episodes, having gone through the hunting moment, some people present are still a bit nervous.
Especially Mu Qiu, taking advantage of the fact that the game hasn’t started yet, she’s already begun searching for good hiding spots.
For someone like her, if she’s blind, she wouldn’t know who robbed her if she got mugged on the street.
If she encounters a group of careless people, several might insist on robbing her, choosing to become blind voluntarily, then she’s like meat on the chopping block.
Though, being robbed is actually a good thing for her, after all, she really doesn’t want to continue being blind.
However, being randomly robbed without knowing anything, being unaware and unable to choose, doesn’t feel good.
So she must thoroughly look for places where she can always stay hidden. If her brain can remember, it would be best to also memorize the escape routes in open areas, handy for escape.
While she was diligently searching for spots, others were also looking around, watching with vigilance.
The director, having passed his arrogant moment, supplemented the rules and formally announced the start of the game.
"This game has only one round, lasting two hours. Within these two hours, some people might undergo more than one exchange, so everyone is advised to conserve energy and prepare well for defense.
Secondly, the electronic bracelet will have an initial score of five points in this round. Each time a guest violates the current control lock state, one point will be deducted. However, during the entire process, deductions are done quietly, without announcements, only when all five points are deducted will there be a total announcement.
Finally, following the general program rules, mobile NPCs in this round lose their first proactive choice, only after another group member exchanges with you can you start actively snatching...actively exchanging."
Shu Ran: "??? What does that mean?"
"It might be," Qiu Shuang naturally continued next to her, "you need to be activated?"
"Kind of like that," Guan Yu rubbed her chin, saying: "Only when we rob you and throw the control locks we don’t want at you can you actively attack others."
"And at the start of the game, when others are robbing you, you have no power to resist," Mu Qiu added.
Shu Ran’s expression couldn’t be darker.
Jiang Lu raised an eyebrow: "The mobile NPCs really have no rights at all? Isn’t this just asking us to wait to be slaughtered?"
"It’s different," Shi Yuhuai unusually displayed his analytic instincts, "you only lose proactive rights on your first exchange. Once activated, you can easily rob it back."
"Makes sense."
Li Yang listened to their conversation, scratching his head, thinking, "Why do I feel like the ones you’re talking about snatching it back from are our group."
Shi Yuhuai: "Proves you’re not foolish yet."
"......"
Guan Yu mocked Li Yang beside him, and after laughing, asked: "Should we make a bet first?"
Li Yang: "Bet on what?"
"Who will be the most sought-after, as in who gets robbed the most times."
"Shouldn’t it be betting on which control lock gets snatched the most?" Cheng Zhirang also joined the group chat, "Everyone’s status may change, being sought-after before doesn’t mean you’ll still be after being exchanged, what’s sought-after is a certain control lock."
"For example... Deaf?"
Guan Yu shrugged: "It definitely wouldn’t be blind."
"... Hahahahaha Sister Guan Yu, you’re mocking Mu Qiu again!"
Mu Qiu rolled her eyes, just about to retort when a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Come to think of it, the blindness control lock is clearly a virus bug in this game.
Because Shu Ran’s team of three mobile NPCs, at the start of the game, have no proactive choice, they can only let others forcibly exchange control locks with them.
So this is her only chance to exchange as a blind person. Once she exchanges the blindness control lock onto Shu Ran, Cheng Zhirang, or Jiang Lu, she can run.
And for someone carrying the blindness control lock, like Cheng Zhirang, once "activated" and gaining the right to exchange actively, he’d likely forcefully exchange that control lock to the next person, after all, who’d want to become blind in this game, unable to see this or that, moving inconveniently, just waiting to be butchered.
As long as he exchanges that control lock out, the blindness control lock will enter multiple iterations of exchange, because no one wants to be blind. The blindness control lock in exchange becomes like a code virus, entering a rotation infection period.
Thinking this way, the blindness control lock is likely to have the most exchanges.
"How about this," Mu Qiu suddenly smiled, looking at everyone, suggesting: "Since you all insist that blindness won’t be snatched the most, let’s make a bet. The wager is one point from the electronic bracelet.
The wrong guess loses a point, the right guess gains a point, how about it? We could negotiate with the production team to add this wager to the game result assessment dimension, what do you think?"
Li Yang glanced at her, and together with Qiu Shuang, silently stood behind her.
Usually, with that expression, she must’ve thought of something that others haven’t, the words she’s saying now are either deceitful or meant to trick others.
Thankfully, they’re teammates, so any trickery wouldn’t affect them, at this moment they just needed to silently support her.
But, unexpectedly, it wasn’t just Li Yang who had this idea.
Guan Yu shouted "Wait a minute", then stretched out her hand, blocking others and squinting at her.
"It’s definitely a trick, we’ll just pretend we didn’t hear anything."
Mu Qiu: "???"
"How is it a trick?! I’ve said everything, this is entirely based on luck and effort, I can’t deceive you!"
Shi Yuhuai: "Everything you say is a trick."
Shu Ran: "Especially when we’re not on the same team."
Cheng Zhirang: "I......"
Jiang Lu: "Cheng Zhirang doesn’t believe it either."
Cheng Zhirang: "......"
Mu Qiu pursed her lips, feeling chilled by their immediate rise in vigilance regardless of what she said.
"I’m such an honest person, and yet you doubt me like this, I’m very disappointed in you all."
A group of people just looked at her speechlessly.
Until she ended up feeling uncomfortable herself, coughing once. Behind her, Li Yang leaned over and whispered:
"That statement was indeed a bit shameless."
"......Do I need you to speak?! Whose side are you on?!"
Guan Yu: "Hey, hey, hey, is it wrong for honest people to speak some truth these days?"
"You’re echoing each other," Mu Qiu furrowed her brows at Li Yang, "Speak up, Li Yang, did Sister Guan Yu bribe you to be a spy?"
"Was it that obvious to you?!" Guan Yu placed hands on hips, "Outside the restroom four hours ago, I painfully traded many of my cherished treasures to bribe him, but you don’t need to know any of that."
"I already know now."
"Oh, knowing is knowing."
Li Yang: "......Both of them are lunatics! I didn’t even go to the restroom four hours ago, alright?!"
