Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Better Not to Say

In terms of rewards, they had obtained a bear’s fish, a water monster’s egg, and a winter snowflake, totalling three rewards. Moreover, Bai Youwei got the final reward, the Golden Key.

It seemed like a substantial harvest.

But if we’re talking about losses, the injuries of Li Li, Lun Ang, Su Man, Zhu Shu, they could claim their lives at any moment.

Bandages and mud saved them!

They had used up the last life-saving bandage, and Shen Mo had used the mud resource up to six times!

Was the reward they received enough to offset this loss?

No one could clearly figure out this math problem.

“The reward explanation is vague, nobody dares to use that tool until we understand what the Winter Guest refers to ” Li Li put the snowflake back in his hand and said, “However, those beads are quite thrifty, whether for hitting people or monsters, they’re very convenient.”

“The Maha fish is also good.” Zhu Shu gently interjected, “If we encounter underwater games in the future, the physical change can be of great help.”

“Since the first two rewards were good, the last reward shouldn’t be bad either.” Yan Qingwen took over the conversation, “Although the dollhouse game is dangerous, each reward gives great help to the players, there’s no doubt about that.”

“Not all, right? What about the gold coin from the last lucky Q&A?!” Li Li frowned in disgust, “That old man has screwed us over!”

Mentioning the old man in the gray robe, Yan Qingwen also fell silent.

“That was an accident.” Shen Mo spoke lightly, “It seems that as long as the players do not break the rules, even if the Inspector wants to target the players out of personal reasons, he must do so within the system rules. The Inspector gave us a gold coin, but it also brought opportunities. If it was purely punishment, the system wouldn’t allow it.”

Li Li couldn’t help grumbling, “What is this ‘system’ after all?”

Shen Mo looked up at him, “That’s what you guys at SCO need to research.”

Hearing this, Li Li let out a deep sigh.

Alas, it’s a world-class problem.

The bonfire crackled and burned, casting shadows on everyone’s faces, showing deep thought, confusion, or weary numbness

Silence ensued for a while.

Yan Qingwen asked, “What’s the deal with the master of the dollhouse? Can that golden key keep opening the dollhouse?”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Bai Youwei.

Being the final reward, how could anyone not be curious?

Bai Youwei, who had been leaning lazily against Shen Mo, saw many gazes coming over, she lifted her eyelids and let them drop back down, saying, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Li Li raised his voice in surprise.

Bai Youwei lifted her eyes again, her voice slightly cold, “You can guess, but I won’t say.”

Everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere became a bit tense

But yet there was nothing to blame, because when they came out of the game, the cooperation between the two teams had already ceased.

Everyone had a snowflake, so speaking of its use was no problem, but there was only one golden key, and those who didn’t have it, simply didn’t qualify to know its purpose.

After a long silence, Yan Qingwen suddenly chuckled.

He said, “It’s good that you don’t tell us. Human nature can’t stand the test, and I’m not a saint. If it’s a particularly tempting reward, I might not be able to suppress my covetous heart, so it’s better not to say.”

He smiled at Bai Youwei, “At least this way  we’re still friends, right?”

Bai Youwei looked at him, then at Li Li, Lun Ang, Su Man, and Zhu Shu sitting next to him.

After a moment, she reluctantly grunted an “Mhmm” from her nostrils.
