I'm so in tune with him it's over the top ......

In the white world, the Black Tower beeps and Zhao Wenbin and the white-haired old man look at Pinocchio blankly, not understanding what is going on. Pinocchio's funny and cute puppet face still maintained the same dismay and surprise from earlier, however, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't give it time to react at all.

At the Black Tower's cue, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo kicked their feet and, like lightning, swished into Pinocchio's path.

Tang Mo snapped open the small Yang San, he waved the pink umbrella, instead of attacking Pinocchio, he hung the umbrella behind Pinocchio's back, cutting off his path. At the same time, Fu Wenduo clenched his right fist, clasped his middle finger, and struck Pinocchio's face in a short distance. Pinocchio subconsciously ran backward, but he was blocked by Tang Mo's Yang San, who turned around and took the punch.

Pinocchio is furious, and with a clap of his hands, he disappears in front of Tang Mo's eyes. The next moment, he appeared behind Tang Mo, waving his wooden arm and hitting the back of Tang Mo's head.

His arm looks thin and small, but the force breaks through the wind. Tang Mo did not dare to be careless, he turned his hand to block little Yang San in front of himself, and he was knocked out. On the other side, a clear metallic clash sounded.

Tang Mo stabilized his stance and fixed his eyes on his face in shock.

A black metal weapon suddenly appeared at the spot where he had been knocked away, blocking Pinocchio's arm that was attacking again. The two collided, and metal sparks erupted. Pinocchio took half a step backward, while Fu Wenduo stood firmly.

The surprise attack is blocked, and Pinocchio's face turns pale. He clapped his hands and disappeared into the white world. However, in the blink of an eye, he reappeared on Fu Wenduo's left side, and Fu Wenduo directly blocked his attack with his left hand before stabbing back.

Tang Mo quickly reacted and stopped looking at Fu Wenduo's arm as he swung little Yang San into the fight.

Bang, bang, bang!

Pinocchio keeps moving and attacking Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo from all angles, but they are very agile. Tang Mo keeps blocking Pinocchio's attacks with Yang San Jr. while Fu Wenduo emerges from behind his umbrella and attacks Pinocchio.

The three were extremely fast, forming shadows in the white world, their forms could not be seen, and only the sound of hard collisions resounded continuously.

Zhao Wenbin and the white-haired old man, who were standing in the grid, fled backward in horror, fearing that the sudden battle would affect them. However, their movable area was limited to four squares, so they could only try to stick to the corners of the squares to avoid the battle.

"He's slowing down even more!" Tang Mo exclaimed, gathering his umbrella forward and puncturing Pinocchio's little yellow hat with the tip.

Fu Wenduo appeared from behind Pinocchio: "Together!"

"Good."

Tang Mo opens Yang San Jr. and looks towards Pinocchio. Fu Wenduo strikes again from the left side towards Pinocchio, who immediately disappears and dodges the attack. Tang Mo's eyes widen and he holds his breath as he stares intently at the spot where Pinocchio disappeared. His pupils dilated to the extreme, and a blurry shadow gradually appeared in his retina.

As if someone had pressed the pause button, Fu Wenduo's attack flashed before Tang Mo's eyes frame by frame. The shadow he was attacking ran extremely fast, and when the sharp black weapon was about to pierce Pinocchio's head, Pinocchio took a step back, then twisted around, ran behind Fu Wenduo, and raised his arm in order to sneak in a reverse attack.

"Saw you."

At this moment, Tang Mo swings his umbrella. The little pink Yang San was suddenly in front of him, Pinocchio immediately changed his direction and rushed towards Tang Mo. Tang Mo's speed of swinging the little Yang San was not as fast as Pinocchio's, and he was unable to pull it back in time to protect himself. Just as he is about to hit Tang Mo's face, a black sharp weapon comes between Pinocchio and Tang Mo. In addition, a huge match appears out of nowhere, and the red match head strikes Pinocchio right in the face.

Pinocchio let out a cry of pain as he was knocked off his feet by a match head and landed on the ground. He reacts and prepares to teleport again when Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo, each with an arm, restrain him.

Pinocchio was pinned to the ground by two players, unable to move. He was furious: "What do you want? Do you want to violate the rules of the game? I, Pinocchio, am also a famous person in Wang Guo, the Underground Man, so you won't be able to get out of the game this time!"

Pinocchio is very powerful and can teleport. However, after the Black Tower declared that "Pinocchio's citizenship is stripped from the subterranean Wang Guo," the speed of his teleportation slowed down to a degree that was visible to the naked eye. This slowdown was not obvious to Zhao Wenbin and the others, who could still not see Pinocchio's shadow, but Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were gradually able to catch his silhouette.

In addition to this, Pinocchio's strength has become much smaller. As time goes by, he gets slower and less powerful so that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo can catch him.

"Whoosh--"

Fu Wenduo shook his right hand, and the black-colored triangular cone shaped sharp weapon disappeared, returning to its original form as a hand. Tang Mo glanced at his hand, and Fu Wenduo's low voice rang out, "Alien power."

That's an active explanation.

Tang Mo retrieves the giant match from his tattoo and looks up at him, "Also psychic powers."

Both of them reveal their powers, so it's even. The match tattoos are actually Tang Mo's collected powers, not his real powers, but Tang Mo also doesn't know what Fu Wenduo's powers are, and it's clear that Fu Wenduo's powers aren't just an arm that can be turned into a weapon. Neither one of them has delivered, so they're still even.

Pinocchio is still roaring, but his struggles are becoming less and less powerful.

"Are you trying to go against Wang Guo, the underground man, and the Black Tower game! You're crazy!"

Tang Mo faintly said, ''Mr. Pinocchio, I must remind you that you have been stripped of the citizenship privileges of the underground man Wang Guo. At the same time, this game we are playing is no longer ' Pinocchio's Honest Card Game', but 'Santa's Honest Card Game'. This game has nothing to do with you, does our imprisonment of you ...... affect the game?"

Pinocchio was so gagged by these words that he had no choice but to swear one sentence after another. "You are the dirtiest of the stinking dogs of Wang Guo, the Underground Man! You'd be disliked by the audience for being ugly and smelly even if you cut off your legs to become a midget in a freak circus ......"

Neither Tang Mo nor Fu Wenduo react well to Pinocchio's tirade. Fu Wenduo removes a very thin, silver-colored rope. It is more like a long silver thread than a rope. He uses it to tie Pinocchio up. Strangely, Pinocchio is unable to free himself from the thin string, and each time he struggles, it gets tighter and tighter.

It's props.

Tang Mo thought in his mind.

After handling the Pinocchio, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stand in a blank area and look up at each other.

At this moment in time in the center of their eyebrows, a white light was still attached to their foreheads. This was a prompt asking the players to engage in a duel.

Just now Tang Mo played a Slave card, and after two cards went into PK, Fu Wenduo's deck was crushed.

Fu Wenduo plays the king's card.

The two cards do not agree, and the King's card disappears while triggering a Dueling Ground effect, where the two players representing that card duel.

Now that Pinocchio has been subdued, the game has been changed to "Santa's Honest Card Game", but the light on their brows has not disappeared. Tang Mo frowns slightly as he contemplates for a moment, slipping his hand into his pocket and touching the white Huo Ji egg.

Just as he was about to remove the Huo Ji egg, he heard a click.

The white ray of light connected to the two men's eyebrows suddenly collapsed, and a loud and cheerful voice rang out from a distant place.

"Hahahahaha, MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

The reindeer roared forward and the bells on the sleigh jingled. Everyone turned their heads to where the sound was coming from, and saw Santa Claus in his red suit coming from the distance with a big smile on his face. The four majestic reindeer stomped on the ground hoof by hoof, the ground shaking with each hoof.

As Santa approached, he seemed to have his own BGM, with the sounds of the "Merry Christmas" song ringing out around him. He laughs and pulls the reins tight, stopping the reindeer sleigh in front of the four players and Pinocchio. His massive body seems like a mountain, creating a shadow that presses down on everyone's head. Even as he laughs, the pressure of terror forces Tang Mo's body to tense up.

This is a copy boss that is not at all on the same level as Pinocchio.

Tang Mo gripped little Yang San and looked at Santa Claus defensively.

Santa's sharp gaze swept over the four players present and finally landed on Pinocchio. Poor Pinocchio was tied up and fell to the ground. Seeing Santa Claus, he was so scared that he was trembling all over, and even though he was tied up, he tried to escape, wriggling his body a little bit outward.

"You devious Pinocchio!" roared Santa Claus, and the sound waves agitated Pinocchio, hitting him with an ouch. Santa sat on his sleigh and said, "How dare you steal my golden star and open the copy alone. My poor children, they are all good and honest and kind, but they turned out to be cheated by you. Assuming that any of them do win, you'll eat them all as soon as the game is over!"

Zhao Wenbin's face turned white with fear when he heard this.

Tang Mo didn't expect this ending either. He thought Pinocchio could only eat the stowaways at the end of the game, but he didn't realize that he would even eat the other players?

Santa opens a large pocket full of presents and aims the opening at Pinocchio. Pinocchio screams as he is sucked into the red pocket.

Santa tied a string around the mouth of the bag, he gave the bulging bag a firm pat and turned his head to look at the four players again. He smiled a small, kind and compassionate smile, "Let's see, oh, thankfully, boys, I've arrived just in time for you to still end this honest card game peacefully. It's Christmas time, and here's my Christmas present for you, which thankfully I can still hand out to you again."

Tang Mo looks at a smiling Santa, ponders for a moment, and asks, "Santa, may I ask what happened to your Pinocchio's bet?"

At the mention of the word bet, Santa Claus's face showed his anger: "This damned Pinocchio, he is really the worst and most insidious villain. The night before Christmas he asked me out for a drink, and when he heard that I was going to give presents to the good children on Christmas Eve, he tricked me into making a bet with him, and ended up stealing my most precious golden star while I was drunk."

"Pinocchio lied about his nose getting longer. "Fu Wenduo said.

Santa nodded, "That's good, his nose does get longer, but he never had a longer nose when he made the bet with me, he was telling the truth. There are so many kids to hand out presents to that I do need Pinocchio to take my place and help me play games with the kids. But I didn't think a peaceful honest card game would make the kids dishonest, so I made the bet with him. However, never in a million years did I expect him to steal the golden star and take it as a gift for winning the game!"

Tang Mo immediately realized, "Golden stars are not the reward for the winning team?"

"Of course not. There are only ten of these golden stars even for me, so how could I possibly give them to good children all over the world." Santa made a move with his right hand, and the golden star suspended in mid-air flew towards him, burrowed into his sleeve and disappeared. "I will give a Christmas tree branch to every child equally as long as they participate in the game, you see, this is the branch. This is my Christmas gift to every child."

Tang Mo looked at the branch in Santa's hand and took out his own one from his bag. Like him, everyone took out the branch of the Christmas tree they had entered their copy of.

Looking at this unimpressive branch, Tang Mo suddenly felt a little helpless and a little funny.

It turns out that from the beginning, they got the real reward.

Santa Claus: "Hahahahaha, never mind this darn Pinocchio. He is no longer a citizen of Wang Guo, the Underground Man, and I will immediately exile him to Monster World, where I'm sure the monsters will love him. Children, let's get on with the game. When the game is over, you'll get gifts from Santa Claus."

"Ding Dong! The Christmas Eve surprise copy of 'Santa's Honest Card Game' has officially begun. Rules of the game-"

"First, each team has four cards each ......"

......

"Fourth, when playing a card, the back of the card is shown, and the opposing player may not see the contents of his or her card."

......

"Sixth, the team without a single card is considered to have failed."

"Santa Claus is always stingy with his gifts, a twig, it's the only thing he thinks of. But don't be discouraged, it might be an extraordinary branch, after all, it's called Santa's branch."

"Santa's Honest Card Game is different from Pinocchio's Honest Card Game in that it only has six rules. It removes the rule "Card inconsistency triggers dueling effects", the line "Pinocchio does not know the contents of both players' cards", and most of all "Privileges of the Queen's card...". ". Without the Dueling Grounds, there is no argument that one side has an advantage over the other, and there is no need for the Queen's Prerogative.

It's a symbolic game that players play casually when they get a gift.

Santa Claus sat on the sleigh and laughed, "Come on, my child. Have a beautiful Christmas by playing this cozy and honest card game with Santa.Merry Christmas!"

The game starts again, Tang Mo walks back to the grid and the white walls gradually fall down. The white wall gradually fell down. The wall completely blocked the face, Tang Mo raised his head to look at the man in black standing directly in front of him. Fu Wenduo smiled faintly at him, and Tang Mo slowly curled his lips.

The wall fell completely, and Tang Mo breathed a small sigh of relief.

...... Though it won t get the king s gold, this is probably the best way to end it.

As soon as he heard the rules of the game announced by the Black Tower, Tang Mo noticed that Pinocchio had also been written into the rules of the game by the Black Tower. This was the first time in all the games he had played that a copy boss had been written into the game rules.

From the first game of Who Stole My Book to the current Honest Card Game, Tang Mo has played eight games, none of which had anything to do with a copy boss. Only Pinocchio.

Tang Mo doesn't let that make him suspicious of Pinocchio.

The idea of "eliminating Pinocchio first" really came to him before the second game. In the first game, Tang Mo's minister was crushed by Fu Wenduo's king, and before the white wall fell, he told Fu Wenduo that he was going to play the queen in order to gain as much advantage as possible in the next game. So when the next hand came out, Pinocchio asked him curiously if he had really played the queen. When Tang Mo did tell him, he was extremely resistant, as if he was afraid of something.

In hindsight, he was afraid that if Tang Mo told him he had played the queen, the Black Tower would assume that he had learned the contents of the bid. Even if Pinocchio didn't admit it, but Tang Mo did tell him, the Black Tower might actually decide that. Pinocchio was shying away from any opportunity to be recognized by the Tower as having violated the rules.

So after seeing this scene, Tang Mo had a bold idea.

Since Pinocchio is written into the rules of the game at the Black Tower, what will the Black Tower decide if Pinocchio violates ...... the rules?

There are actually four endings to this game. Tang Mo wins, Fu Wenduo wins, both sides end the game peacefully, and the game ends with Pinocchio eating the player.

Tang Mo hasn't had much contact with Fu Wenduo, but he knows that the man is a meticulous thinker. He could think that behind Pinocchio's phrase "How can people die in a Christmas welfare game?" it could mean "You can kill anyone you want as long as the game is over", and so could Fu Wenduo.

Tang Mo himself was a full-fledged player, and most of the monsters in the game's duplicates were of no interest to him. But Fu Wenduo was different. He was a stowaway.

Pinocchio has shown early signs of salivating over the stowaway, so if this game is indeed won by Fu Wenduo, at the end of the game ...... will Pinocchio keep his promise and release him. Or will he stop by for a bite before releasing his body safely?

No one knows.

The King's gold is too great a temptation for Fu Wenduo to give up easily. Tang Mo first used the Queen's Prerogative to ascertain Fu Wenduo's attitude, making sure that he was not so bent on getting the King's gold. After that, he starts a partnership that is called a bet, but is actually a way to kill Pinocchio.

"It's really hard to convince him ...... " Tang Mo couldn't help but lament.

Zhao Wenbin relaxed a lot after Santa Claus appeared, at least it looked like his life was saved. At this moment when he heard Tang Mo's words, he thought for a while and said, "To be honest I was scared to death when you guys rushed out to fight Pinocchio just now, that ...... later if possible, we are teammates after all, can you let me know ahead of time if you have any plans? "

Tang Mo: "Every word we say will be heard by Pinocchio."

Zhao Wenbin thought, "Oh yeah. Pinocchio has been lying on the wall eavesdropping on us." He then thinks, "But this game seems to be almost over, and we won't be teammates anymore ......"

Tang Mo didn't answer him.

The hardest part of the collaboration was getting Pinocchio to let his guard down and act against the rules of the game. To do this, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo put on a show, step by step, spoiling Pinocchio into a seemingly simple, yet most effective, trap.

The collaboration began with what seemed like a childish bet, where Tang Mo kept reminding Fu Wenduo that--

"Pinocchio can't know the contents of the cards.

He reminded him of this over and over again, saying the words again and again. Without letting him down, Fu Wenduo understood what he meant and spoke up to agree to the bet. In fact, what he agreed to was not the bet, but this cooperation.

With Pinocchio present, Tang Mo is afraid to communicate with Fu Wenduo privately in any way to determine where they will stand in the grid for fear that he will notice something unusual. This bet is the prelude to the next series of plays, and Tang Mo can only continue to work together to deceive Pinocchio if he wins this bet.

Tang Mo immediately thought of using Huo Ji's egg to talk to Fu Wenduo.

There are two ways to use the Huo Ji Egg. One is a normal call, where the player taps the Huo Ji Egg three times to contact another player, but their voice is heard by everyone around them. The other is to turn on the archiver. When the archiver is turned on, their voices will ring in each other's heads and won't be heard.

While Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were gambling, Pinocchio was standing right next to them, watching so closely that Tang Mo didn't have any chance to open the archive. When he returned to the wall, he drew an "S" on Huo Ji's egg when Pinocchio wasn't looking. Unfortunately, he didn't hear anything.

At first Tang Mo thought it was because the Huo Ji Egg was unusable, but soon his Huo Ji Egg shimmered with light-

Fu Wenduo has also turned on the archiver.

He still couldn't hear Fu Wenduo's voice, but the archiver was on.

There was only a one in four chance that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo would stand in the same grid. After pondering for a while, he stood in the middle of the two grids. He believed that his opponent would be able to guess his thoughts and choose this most likely way to make the bet stand.

As expected, the white wall went up, both men stood on the grid line, and the bet was established.

When the white wall went up, Tang Mo heard Fu Wenduo's voice. When the wall fell, he couldn't hear a thing, and when it rose, they could communicate freely. It must be that the rules of the game eliminate any possibility of communication between the two players, as long as the wall falls, there is no communication, even Huo Ji Egg's communication is forbidden.

Being able to communicate with Fu Wenduo under Pinocchio's nose made the scene much easier. But even with Huo Ji's egg to communicate with in private, his understanding with the man seemed a bit too high. Sometimes it's just a look, and they understand each other's meaning.

...... for being too smart?

Tang Mo can only think of this seemingly narcissistic reason. It seems to be the only reason that stands up.

"Ding Dong! After three minutes, all players are asked to stand in each of the cards that were decided to be shown. The cards in that grid are considered the cards presented in the next game."

The game beeps and Tang Mo has his hands in his pockets. He touches the Huo Ji egg in his pocket as he walks over to the Queen's card and stops.

This time he didn't have to suppress it by force, but Zhao Wenbin also walked into the Queen's plaid.

Zhao Wenbin : "Anyway, everyone has the same reward, so of course we're better off with a draw. We'll choose a queen card, they'll choose a slave card, and our queen card will be restrained. In the next game, we'll play slave cards together, so we can end the game peacefully."

Zhao Wenbin's voice was very soft and he thought Tang Mo was a stowaway and did not dare to talk to him.

The white wall slowly rises, the Slave and Queen cards glide into the blank area, and the Queen card shatters and disappears. This time no Dueling Grounds effect is triggered, only Santa Claus laughs and delivers his blessing, "Hahahahaha, that's it, well done kids!"

After laughing, Santa suddenly pulled a pocket watch out of his arms, "Oh children, I have to rush to the next copy. I heard that the dastardly whitewasher cheated me, and he actually tried to harm my lovely children. Let's hurry up for the last game and end this fun honest card game."

The white wall fell, and Tang Mo and Zhao Wenbin stood on the last slave card.

After five minutes, the two slave cards together turned to light and disappeared. Both teams lost their last cards at the same time, and this game was officially over. Santa laughed out loud as he pulled up the reins and flew around the white world.

"Kids, MERRY CHRISTMAS! hahahahaha ......"

A red Santa Claus in a reindeer sleigh soon disappeared at the end of the white world. At this point, the Tang Mo four were finally free to step out of the checkered area.

The white-haired old man seemed to be very afraid of Fu Wenduo and stood far away, not daring to approach. Zhao Wenbin also stood still and didn't dare to move, just waiting to teleport out of the copy.

When Santa Claus left, Tang Mo's grip on little Yang San finally loosened. He put little Yang San back into his backpack and when he looked up, he found Fu Wenduo standing in the lattice, smiling at him.

Tang Mo lifts his leg slightly, but he steps out only a little before retracing his steps.

He did not come forward to engage Fu Wenduo, and the two remained far apart, just looking at each other.

After a long time, Tang Mo smiled, "Mr. Fu, happy cooperation."

Fu Wenduo said, "Happy cooperation."

"I rarely have Christmas." Tang Mo slung her bag back onto her back, her voice calm, "But I think this might be the worst Christmas I've ever had."

Fu Wenduo's voice was low, "Rather an interesting Christmas for me."

Tang Mo sniffed and looked at him fixedly.

For a moment, the two laughed together.

Tang Mo exclaimed, "I'm in Pudong."

Fu Wenduo froze slightly, then quickly said, "Okay, see you again sometime."

Dazzling white light flashed in the center of the white world. Tang Mo could no longer see Fu Wenduo's expression, and he vaguely saw only a black figure. Just like the first time he saw this man, no matter what time of the day it was, this man always stood as straight as a peak, he stood there as a resolute mountain that would not budge.

"With special training and this kind of standing aura ......" In the white light, Tang Mo closed his eyes and whispered to himself, "What kind of person is this."

The white light engulfed the figures of the four players, and the next moment Tang Mo opened his eyes again, he was back on Earth.

It was Christmas Eve and dark. Tang Mo left the copy and immediately turned and ran away, finding an unoccupied factory to hide in. He took out the white Huo Ji egg from his pocket. On the shell of the Huo Ji Egg, an "S" character was still shining. Tang Mo covered the Huo Ji Egg with both hands, the white light faded away, and the archiver closed.

"Didn't get any rewards, but wasted an archive opportunity for nothing." Tang Mo smiled bitterly.

Using an archiver in a game is a last resort, but a must. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo decide to let Pinocchio break the rules of the game first, but no one knows what will happen to the game if Pinocchio is eliminated, so they have to use the archiver. Assuming Pinocchio doesn't let his guard down and the Black Tower rules against him, they'll read the archive, go back to the beginning, and decide the winner again. This is a way back.

Tang Mo Xin said, "When he and I are in the same copy, if either of us uses the archiver, it will be determined that both of us have used it, synchronizing the archive and reading it at the same time. This means that if I'm really hostile with him in the future and I want to use the archiver, even if he agrees, after I read the archive, he will read the archive at the same time."

Tang Mo's fingers clattered on the Huo Ji egg. Each time he reaches the second strike, he stops and waits for a moment, then strikes a third time to prevent three consecutive strikes from contacting Fu Wenduo.

After thinking for a long time, Tang Mo stops tapping her fingers on Huo Ji's egg and comes to a conclusion, "Don't be a copy of him anymore. At least not another hostile relationship." On the one hand, the limitations of using Huo Ji's egg are too great, and on the other hand, "If I really want to play another game of hostile relationship with him, I don't know who will win next time. ......"

Tang Mo saw Fu Wenduo's supernatural power this time, but what Fu Wenduo saw was only the tip of the iceberg of Tang Mo's supernatural power. However, Fu Wenduo discovers that Tang Mo possesses the King's gold coins.

Tang Mo thought for a moment without expression and decided, "I lost money."

Blood loss!

After recalling all of his actions in the game, Tang Mo lies down on a bed in the factory office and pulls the trashy-looking Christmas tree branch out of his backpack.

The cold moonlight shone through the window and onto his face as Tang Mo scrutinized the branch.

The branch is narrow and bare, without a single leaf, and seems to be an ordinary branch. But for this branch, one of the eight players in "Pinocchio's Honest Card Game" was killed, and three of them entered the tower game with their lives unknown.

Aside from them, there are probably more people in other copies that are going through all sorts of games for this branch.

Tang Mo held the branch for half a day before stuffing it back into his backpack. With his current physical condition, he would be full of energy even if he slept once a week, so he closed his eyes and thought about more things. As time passed by, Tang Mo remembered the phrase "I'm in Pudong" that he had blurted out in the copy and slowly opened his eyes.

"Go to Atak tomorrow and see how Chen Shanshan and the others are doing."

Don't go back to Suzhou for a while.

The land of China was quiet, and many, many players who had come out of the Christmas welfare copies were palpitating as they hugged their Christmas tree branches and found places to hide.

At twelve o'clock, a bright light shoots out of Tang Mo's backpack.

Tang Mo immediately opened his eyes and looked at his bag. Only to see a long object glowing in his bag, the light penetrated through the large canvas bag and illuminated the entire room. Tang Mo's heart tightened and he carefully opened his backpack, always ready to respond.

The moment he opened his backpack, a glowing Christmas tree branch flew out of his backpack. Tang Mo's reaction was so fast that he reached out his hand and grabbed the branch. But his grip was empty. The branch turned into a light and flew out of the window and into the air.

Tang Mo gets up and walks over to the window, looking up at the sky.

Only to see tens of thousands of white rays of light flying out from all corners of all of China on that dark night sky, flying high into the sky together. All the branches were connected together, slowly piecing together into the shape of a Christmas tree.

This huge white light Christmas tree covers an extremely wide area, spanning most of the land in China. It emitted a blinding light, illuminating the night as if it were day. Just when the light was so bright that it pierced everyone to the point where they couldn't see straight with their naked eyes, a bright and loud laughter rang out -

"Hahahahaha, Merry Christmas my lovely children!"

Boom!

A "Merry Christmas" song plays over the city as a giant Santa Claus pulling a sleigh emerges from behind the Christmas tree, and four reindeer run forward to headbutt the massive-to-horrifying tree.

The Christmas tree was smashed into billions of points of light that flew towards the ground. One of the star-like points of light flew out from these countless points of light and flew straight in front of Tang Mo. Tang Mo stretched out his hand, and this tiny point of light hovered in his palm.

In the center of Tang Mo's palm, this tiny point of light shines with a brilliant light. The white light enveloped Tang Mo's body and Tang Mo closed his eyes. Five minutes later, he opened his eyes and the light in his palm had disappeared.

Santa laughed bashfully, and as he did so, he pulled up his reindeer sleigh and flew off into the distant sky.

Tang Mo clenched his fists and then moved his wrists and limbs. He felt that his body was even lighter, and the power hidden in his muscles was even thicker. This small point of light allowed Tang Mo's physical quality to improve a little more. Since his own physical quality was better than the other players, and he was one of the best amongst the formal players and stowaways, the boost from this light point wasn't too obvious to him, but put it on the other players' bodies, it should be a terrifying boost.

Christmas Eve is over.

Turns out this is the real Christmas, the real Christmas present.

Tang Mo smiles helplessly and turns away from the window, intending to rest again.

In the sky, the hundreds of millions of points of light had also found their home, bringing this Christmas gift to every player who had survived the game.

Just as Tang Mo turned around, a clear child's voice rang out over China to the soundtrack of the cheerful "Merry Christmas" song.

"Dingdong! Version update notification. on January 1, 2018, the Black Tower 2.0 version will be online soon. Please familiarize your players with the new version rules as soon as possible. New version game rules ......"

Tang Mo bristled and twisted her head, her eyes widening as she looked towards the huge black tower hovering in the center of Shanghai.

The dark tower was now glowing with colorful light, just as it had the day it announced that "Earth is online", playing the same "Merry Christmas" song. It didn't stop there, as it continued to speak the rules of the new version of the game in a loud child's voice.
