Chapter 408 Analysis

"So, my choice was fine, right?"

This was the nth time everyone had heard Yinzhi interrupt and boast, and they all chose to ignore him without prior agreement.

No one cooperated, but that didn't stop Yinzhi from showing off: "What a pity, I can't show you this person's work yet. Tsk tsk tsk, 10% favorability rating... I might have a chance to receive a gift from Lin Daiyu—"

"Boss, if you don't shut up soon, you'll soon receive my reward."

Yinreng smiled and clenched his fist.

Yinzhi pursed his lips. With the second son's limited skills, forget it. He'd give him some face in front of his younger brothers.

The important thing is that he wants to be a steady older brother, although he's not exactly steady.

Yinzhi finally shut up, and the others compared and analyzed the situation and came up with some conclusions.

"First of all, we were all taken there while we were asleep, so judging from the time we went in next time, we should have gone in at the same time."

As Yin Zhi spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the two countdowns on his screen: one for the next time he would enter, and the other for an unknown countdown.

There are still 27 hours until the next time they are pulled in, which means it will be the night of the third day.

The unknown countdown in the upper left corner displays "3650 days." Ten years—no one knows what will happen when this countdown ends.

"Judging from my elder brother's experience, it is more likely that consciousness enters than the physical body, but this cannot be verified at the moment."

Yinzhen pursed his lips. The situation was unclear, and they couldn't tell anyone outside the case.

"In terms of content, our initial task is the same: to welcome guests from afar. However, because we are assigned different identities, we face different problems, and we are not in the same space. But in the end, we all become official players from the pre-selected ones and need to keep playing."

After Yinreng said this, everyone fell silent.

While rebirth is already amazing, encountering a game like "Dream of the Red Chamber Nightmare" is still quite baffling. This makes some people wonder if they are not reborn, but have come to a similar world?

Yinzhi looked around at the group of people who were deep in thought, took out a prescription from his sleeve and placed it on the table, and said gently, "Look on the bright side, every point we successfully earn can be exchanged for many good things that we don't have before, right?"

Yinqi looked at the words "Cement Production Method" at the top of the paper and asked in surprise, "Eighth Brother, did you exchange this for points?"

Yinzhi nodded. "Yes, I was just curious and browsed the points mall. I saw this prescription. It can be used to pave roads, build bridges, and reinforce city walls and dikes. It seemed pretty good, so I changed it."

Upon hearing this, the others also came over to take a closer look.

The recipe is good, but... "Xiao Ba, have you spent all your points?"

Yinzhen frowned, realizing that this was indeed a good thing, and he became more worried about Yinsi.

"I didn't spend it all; there's still a little left."

"Little Eight, let Second Brother come next time. You're still young, and we don't know what the next time will be like. Save your points to exchange for things that can save your life."

Yinreng rubbed his head, and Yinzhi nodded in agreement: "That's right, leave this to us. You take care of yourself."

Yin Zhi studied the panel for a while, then gave up in frustration: "What a pity, points cannot be transferred at the moment."

Yinzhen then spent 100 points to exchange for a defensive talisman and handed it to Yinsi: "Keep it safe."

“No need…” Yinzhi wanted to refuse, but Yinzhen forcefully forced him to accept it.

Seeing Yinzhen's behavior, the others were also inspired and wanted to buy Yinsi some nice things. Yinsi quickly spoke up to stop them, and after much persuasion and analysis from various angles, he finally managed to convince them to stop.

However, unable to resist everyone's good intentions, he accepted the talisman from Yinzhen.

Most importantly, Yinzhen himself revealed that he had completed the mission perfectly and earned 200 points, far exceeding everyone else present.

...

After agreeing to try one more time and then decide whether to report it based on the situation, everyone pretended to be nonchalant and dispersed.

To be precise, the three younger ones, number six, seven, and eight, were told to take good care of themselves before leaving. Meanwhile, the ones numbered one, two, three, four, and five moved on to Yinzhi's courtyard.

Once the door was closed, a joint trial was held.

"Tell me, when did you get back?"

Yinzhi looked up at Yinzhen, while Yinreng and Yinqi remained silent.

Yinzhi was clearly still confused. "What is it?"

Yinreng glanced at him indifferently. So, with four people and three courts conducting a joint trial, Yinzhi was utterly useless.

Yinzhi glanced at the three men whose expressions remained unchanged, then at Yinzhen sitting opposite him with a composed demeanor. Only then did he realize what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Fourth Prince, you've been reborn too?"

Yinzhen nodded calmly.

"The talkative Guo Jingming can't perfectly play the role of Madam Wang, unless..."

Yinzhi looked at Yinzhen with a complicated expression, "Unless, the person in front of us is the mature and prudent... Emperor Yongzheng."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhen slowly raised his eyes. His youthful face was framed by a pair of deep eyes that exuded a strange yet familiar sense of authority—the aura of an emperor.

"..." Even Yinzhi fell silent, unsure how to face the winner from his previous life.

Of all those present, Yinreng, who had been dethroned from the position of crown prince in his previous life, was far more composed and at ease. Without his obsession with the throne, Yinreng had only one question: "What are your thoughts on Xiao Ba?"

Hearing his words, the others also stared intently at the changes in Yinzhen's expression.

Yes, this is no longer the fourth prince who said "my brother and I are the best of friends in the world." This is the Yongzheng Emperor who was irreconcilably at odds with Yinzhi and hated him so much that he named him "Aqina."

Yinzhen blinked, his lips slightly pursed, and said succinctly, "I am Yinzhen, and Xiao Ba is Xiao Ba."

Yinzhen is not Yongzheng, and Xiaoba is not Yinsi from his previous life. Xiaosi and Xiaoba will not end up like Yongzheng and Yinsi.

Everyone understood, but Yinzhi persisted, asking, "What do you mean?"

Even though he felt his own intelligence was average, Yinqi found a sense of superiority in Yinzhi and couldn't help but complain, "The eldest brother is always the eldest brother."

"Of course I'm the eldest brother!" This was the point that Yinzhi was most proud of. No matter how much the second brother competed with him, he was still the second brother!

"..." The crowd was speechless and decided to ignore him and let themselves off the hook.

"Now that Yinzhen has been chosen, who are the key figures?"

Before releasing him, he might not have exposed Yinzhen's identity so quickly. But considering the unknown nature of "The Nightmare of the Red Chamber," he had to find a way to figure out everything he could.

"You've all noticed, haven't you?"

Yinreng's gaze naturally bypassed Yinzhi and turned to his other three younger brothers. "At the beginning, it was said that there were nine key figures who had returned to their positions. If we count them as reborn, there are currently five of us: myself, the eldest, the third, the fourth, and the fifth. Who are the other four?"

"Um...didn't I say that?"

Yinqi spoke cautiously, "The Ninth Prince... too."

"Yin Tang?"

Yinzhen looked over, even though he had deliberately distanced himself from Yongzheng. But when Yinzhi mentioned Yintang, Yinqi still felt a little itchy to touch him.

After all, who could accept that a perfectly good Ninth Brother would have his name changed to "Seth Black"?

Sure enough, aside from the matter concerning Yinzhi, he was still a good older brother, at least sharing the same hatred as Yintang.

Yinqi avoided Yinzhen's gaze and nodded.

Yin Zhi pondered for a moment: "If the Ninth Prince is, then could the Tenth Prince be?"
