Passing means winning?

Bai Ruoyao quietly looked at Tang Mo, who was sitting in the center of the first frame, slightly tilting his head and looking at him with a smile on his lips.

The two of them then stared at each other wordlessly through a thin film of red light.

After a few seconds, Bai Ruoyao smiled: "I've participated in a total of four assembly copies, and every one of them will not end in certain death. Failing the game doesn't mean that you will die for sure, it's very possible to trigger another game, or receive some kind of tolerable punishment, there is a certain danger, but not necessarily death. Rally copies are a shortcut that the Black Tower gives players to improve their strength. Tangtang, I suddenly feel a little happy that you're so angry with me. You care so much about me, and you're stalling on purpose. It turns out that I'm so important in your heart."

Tang Mo: "You do?"

Bai Ruoyao winked, "You're holding a 6-point Lucky Dice, even if Santa Claus wants to make you suffer, he can only open up three punishment grids at most. With your strength, three punishment grids is not a difficult task. Even if you can't use your supernatural abilities and props, if you hurry up, you'll be able to pass within a minute."

Tang Mo prattled a surprised "oh", and then said, "What if I jump in the wrong order?"

Bai Ruoyao, acting even more exaggeratedly than Tang Mo, covers his mouth, "Wow, that's a mistake, so Tangtang, you're really stupid, and Tangtang who's that stupid isn't my best friend."

Tang Mo didn't say anything, Bai Ruoyao laughed and teased him some more.

One person sits steady and one person is constantly laughing and joking.

Bai Ruoyao's face showed no trace of tension, as if he really didn't care about the outcome of the game. Tang Mo looks like he's not going to be able to play the game fast enough, and given the time he needs to clear the game, he's doomed to fail. But he didn't care.

In the other two groups, someone noticed Tang Mo sitting in the first compartment and not moving. He looked at him in surprise for a few moments, then looked away. Everyone is too busy trying to pass their own games, no one has time to waste on unfamiliar players.

With only four minutes left, any more powerful player would need at least a minute to clear the nine frames.

Fu Wenduo's group had a good game, but Mu Huixue's group had a little accident. No one knows what the two children said to the woman in black before the game started. When the woman started the game, she threw the dice one grid at a time as normal. When she threw the dice into the sixth square, she chose the little boy as her duel.

That's normal.

In this group, Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Sheng are the most preferred duelists for all players.

In addition to the player with a dice roll of 2, they may choose the player with a roll of 5 to challenge them, thus increasing their probability of passing the game. Players with a 5 will choose these two kids to play because they will immediately admit defeat and not waste their game time.

As expected, after Fu Wen Sheng walked to the sixth frame, he threw the dice into the Christmas stocking and then hurriedly said, "I ...... I admit defeat!" Then the children opened their eyes wide and nervously looked at Mu Huixue quietly from bottom to top.

Mu Huixue looked at the young boy with a smirk, turned her head and whistled to the boy's companion, the short, skinny, short-haired female, then reached out and removed the boy's dice from the same sock in which he had thrown them.

The players looked at Mu Huixue in dismay.

She's got the wrong one!

They had absolutely no idea what this female player was thinking.

The boy's dice were 2 points and hers were 5 points. Did she get her socks wrong? No, the boy threw the dice in just a second ago. No fool would recognize it!

The players were confused and soon Mu Huixue returned to the starting point and again ...... threw the dice into the sixth square!

At this moment, there are only six players left in this group. In addition to Fu Wen, there were still three players with five points on their dice, two male players and one female player. When one of the male players saw Mu Huixue throw the dice into the sixth square, he cried out in his heart that it was not good, and his face darkened. When Mu Huixue pointed his finger at a female player and asked her to come up for a duel, the male player's face had already turned ugly to the extreme.

He quickly ran over to the only other remaining male player with a point count of 5 and whispered, "She's purposely switching dice points for someone else!"

The man was shocked, "What?!"

The male player hurriedly said, "Don't you see, she deliberately switched the 5-point dice to that little boy. This time, she shouted for that woman to go up, because she wanted to take the 5-point dice from her hands. If I'm not mistaken, those two kids didn't know what they said to her, and actually made her willing to help and get the 5-point dice for them!"

The man was horrified, "No way, even if those two kids got the 5-point dice, so what, we can still find the two of them to duel and get their dice back. Those two kids are so weak, they can't keep it even if they got it."

"If anything, if you take it back, she's bound to help with another duel to get the dice back ...... Would you still go for those two kids'?"

Things were heading towards the worst case scenario predicted by the male player.

When Mu Huixue plays the game again, she does choose Chen Shanshan as the duelist, switching her 5-point dice back to her. This time, however, she happened to see Tang Mo's group, where the young woman chose Ning Zheng as the duelist. She raised an eyebrow, "And that?"

Mu Huixue then challenged one of the two players in the group who had already passed, instead of the one who had not.

The man was very confused and did not understand why Mu Huixue was challenging himself.

He knew that his strength was not as good as this horrible woman, but the other party was a high-level player who had already "passed" the nine frames, so he immediately admitted defeat.

In this way, in the last three minutes, Mu Huixue, Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen all had five dice in their hands.

Time passed by, and the more it came to an end, the more players grabbed the challenge game. No one refused to give up the challenge because every second meant a second closer to the end of the game.

Only Tang Mo's group.

The dark-haired young man sat calmly cross-legged on the ground as the doll-faced youth smiled brightly and narrowed his eyes at him.

When there were two minutes left on the clock, Bai Ruoyao smiled and said, "Tangtang, this woman will probably be very sad when you do this. So that's how you are Tangtang."

Half an hour ago, Tang Mo promised the young woman that he would take her through the game. But Tang Mo is sitting here, preventing Bai Ruoyao from getting through the game, and also preventing her from getting through the game.

Beads of sweat oozed from the woman's forehead, and her pale face seemed to prove that Bai Ruoyao had told her what was on her mind.

In the last minute and a half, Bai Ruoyao was still teasing Tang Mo, his tone laughing, his smile so wide that it was clearly an act, with a hint of sarcasm. It was only in the last minute when Bai Ruoyao realized that Tang Mo was still sitting on the ground, holding his chin up and looking at him with a smile on his face. Bai Ruoyao's voice ended abruptly.

Tang Mo looked at him quietly for a moment and smiled, "Why don't you say something?"

Bai Ruoyao bristles and looks up at Santa Claus.

The next moment, his gaze was icy cold and his expression was unprecedentedly ugly. Bai Ruoyao's face was as icy as if he had been taken out of a freezing cellar as he shouted, "What the hell is going on with that dice!"

Santa froze at the question and subconsciously asked back, "What's going on?"

Bai Ruoyao stepped forward and pointed at Tang Mo: "He didn't even try to pass the game!"

Santa stroked his beard and said to Tang Mo, "Boy, I can't believe you don't want to play the game? You've really lost me. Is it that Santa didn't do a good enough job with this game that you don't want to play? My child, why are you doing this?"

Tang Mo follows his lead and says, "Yeah, why would I do that?"

On the other side, Fu Wen couldn't hear Tang Mo's voice, but he could see Bai Ruoyao's face changing and questioning Santa Claus.

Fu Wen Sound furrowed his brows, "Why on earth did Tang do that?"

"Because for this game, passing doesn't mean victory, and not passing doesn't mean failure." Chen Shanshan touched the dice with 5 points and placed it carefully into his pocket, "Santa Claus has been telling us this answer since before the game even started." After a pause, Chen Shanshan looked at Fu Wen Sheng, "Sheng, do you still remember what Santa Claus said before we threw the lucky dice and decided on the number of points of the dice we got."

Fu Wen Sound pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, "Ah ...... he said this is his last reward for us!"

"Nice, lucky dice, that's the last reward a player can get in Santa's Gathering copy."

The two kids turned back in unison to the woman in black who approached them.

Mu Huixue clasped his arms in front of him and smiled, "Go on, I'd like to hear what you guys have to say as well."

Chen Shanshan glanced at her and continued, "The correct order of passage for this game is something I think all eleven players present (eight died) now understand. Santa Claus is a democratic Black Tower monster who cares very much about the feelings of children. The numbers hovering over the grid are the order in which he labeled the grid, but that's not the order we chose. The order we chose was the order we got from two previous votes when we visited the Candy House."

"The map for the game of hopscotch is -

1

2

3

4, 5

6

7, 8

9."

Chen Shanshan looked at the huge game map in front of him and said, "There's nothing wrong with the seventh and eighth rooms, we voted them out in the same order as the order marked by Santa Claus. But we chose the opposite order in the fourth and fifth rooms. So to pass this game, just follow 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and switch 4 and 5 the same way, and it will work. That's how Major Fu does it."

Mu Huixue laughed, "You really do know Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo."

The little girl realized at once that she was actually careless and said out loud that she knew Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo. She was silent for a moment in self-condemnation, and said more cautiously, "The players of this game basically belong to the high-level players, and the correct order is not difficult to guess, and after that failure of Mu ...... Mu's sister, a part of the people have already guessed the truth." Since he had already revealed his identity, Chen Shanshan simply didn't hide it anymore. "However, most people don't realize that the real purpose of this game is not to let players pass the game, its real purpose ...... is the sixth frame."

In Tang Mo's group, Tang Mo tilted his head slightly and said, "The sixth grid, Lucky's Dueling Stage. This grid is ostensibly to allow for player interaction, to make this game a non-single player game, to create an opportunity for players to engage. It also fits in with Santa's mentality of wanting the players to consume themselves and preferably all die."

Santa smirked, "Hey hey, the great Santa loves children the most, how could he want them all to die."

Tang Mo ignored him, "But assuming that the Lucky Dice are Santa's last reward to the players, there would be no reward for passing this game. Santa Claus would set up a useless game, the Black Tower never does. Just as the Black Tower will never measure players by a single standard, whoever is lucky enough to throw in a larger number of points and get better luck later? It doesn't work that way."

The fairness of the Black Tower is evident between the returnees and the Earth survivors.

The returnees are unfortunate, they have experienced a more cruel world. However, they are not always unfortunate, they can pass through their own strength to return to Earth, and their strength is better than the Earth survivors.

The sky is the limit, and so is the Black Tower.

Tang Mo : "A lucky man may get a 6-point lucky dice at the beginning. But if he is poor in force, and he can't keep the 6-point dice in the fighting arena, then he will get a 1-point dice. The player with insufficient force has a good head on his shoulders and can get himself a higher point dice through other means, such as sharing his information with a powerful player."

Pausing for a moment, Tang Mo sits down on the floor and smiles, "Is it important to pass? It doesn't matter at all. What matters is what dice you have in your hand at the end of the game. I somewhat forgot, Lucky Fly, what point of the dice are you holding right now?"

The moment the words fell, a cheerful "Christmas Song" rang out over the entire candy house.

Santa leapt off the giant lollipop and landed with a thud.

"Hahahahaha, kids, game over! Merry Christmas!"

Players who didn't pass the game turned pale, fearing that they would be penalized. Those who did pass the game were not all happy. At the beginning of Tang Mo's speech, Ning Zheng's expression did not change much. By the time Tang Mo is halfway through, he has already guessed the truth of the game.

"Tang Mo!" Ning Zheng's hand squeezed his lucky dice to death, almost crushing it into pieces.

In fact, from the very beginning, the Black Tower reminds the player what is really important in this game.

It's the sixth frame.

A copy of Santa's Curious Mercantile, opens on June 6, 2018 at 6:06 am.

The Lucky Dice are the last reward Santa gives to players.

Santa doesn't hurt children, even if he wants to kill again, he's constrained by the Black Tower, so he won't die if he loses the game.

Binding powers so that players can only use props in the Dueling Grand Arena is the last bit of fairness that the Black Tower gives to physically inferior players, making it more likely that they will be able to get high point dice.

Even in this game, guessing the correct order doesn't mean that you can pass the game. Because of the low points, the player encounters more penalties and the player himself wants to get higher points.

What Bai Ruoyao and Ning Zheng didn't realize was that the game wasn't about getting through the game at all, it was about players swapping dice points in their hands.

Bai Ruoyao lowered his head, shadows spilling over that doll face, making it impossible to see his expression. After a long time, he raised his head and hooked up the corners of his mouth, but he no longer let out that oddly deliberate cheeky laugh, "Tang Mo, why are you so sure that nothing will happen to you if you don't pass this game."

That was the last thing Bai Ruoyao understood.

Bai Ruoyao can guess that he won't die if he doesn't pass the game, but he doesn't dare to be as sure as Tang Mo is. This is the fundamental reason why he did not realize the truth, and even if he did, he did not dare to take the risk.

For that matter, Tang Mo winked in Bai Ruoyao's mold, "Guess."
