Chapter 516 Gu Huai picked a civilian
Chen Zaiye sat awkwardly beside them, looked at Yan Laiyi, then looked at Gu Huai in the camera, touched his nose and said: "Well... I have a question now, do they know that we are watching us right next to them?"
Yan Weiyang tapped his head lightly and scolded him, "Don't talk, don't delay me from shipping this couple!"
Shen Zaiye: “…”
Okay.
Gu Huai arrived at the castle gate. The staff handed him a bullet belt with several plastic transparent balls tied to it. "Excuse me, how many puzzle pieces do you have?"
Gu Huai: "Five."
The other party put the bullet belt on him and tied five balls to it, like a piggy bank for Gu Huai to put the puzzle pieces in, and then sealed the mouth: "This is the puzzle you are wearing now. Please walk slowly and be careful. We will wait for you at the finish line. I wish you victory."
Gu Huai frowned, feeling something was wrong, and stepped into the castle.
The castle was deserted.
A girl in a maid outfit came forward, holding a lottery box in her hand: "Please choose your identity."
Gu Huai was suspicious: "Identity?"
The maid smiled and said, "Everyone who comes to the castle is a person of status. You need to use your status to survive. Everyone's status is different, with advantages and disadvantages. Please draw your identity entry."
Shen Jingci and Shen Zaiye's eyes lit up and they became interested: "This game is quite interesting, more interesting than the previous puzzle games!"
Chen Xiuyan nodded. "When looking for the puzzle piece, Gu Huai even climbed up a tree to find it. It was thrilling and hard work. This is definitely much more fun than that one."
Yiyi said with regret: "It turns out to be so fun. If I had known earlier, I would have gone too. What a pity."
Hearing her regret, Gu Huai pulled out a card without hesitation.
The other party picked it up, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Dear sir, you have drawn a civilian."
Gu Huai: “?”
What is your intention?
Chen Zaiye: "Hahahahahaha what kind of luck is this? I actually drew a civilian! It's hilarious. I was just pretending to be cool in front of Yan Laiyi, and now look what happened. You must have sprained your waist, right? Hahahahaha!"
Gu Huai's face darkened as he didn't want to pay attention to him: "What advantages do civilians have?"
The woman smiled: "No advantage."
Gu Huai: "..."
Yan Laiyi: "..."
Why are you talking so happily if you have no advantage?
Shen Jingci also leaned forward and backward: "Hahahahahahahahaha, I thought there would be some advantages, but it turns out there is not even any advantage. Gu Huai, you are so unlucky."
The maid smiled and said, "Although there are no advantages, I don't think there are no advantages at all. This is because this identity means that all members of your team are civilians. Civilian status does not have any restrictions or obstacles. You can do whatever you want in this castle."
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows: "What if I want to rebel?"
The maid smiled and said, "Commoners have the right to rebel, but whether you can survive the rebellion depends on your ability."
Gu Huai narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming more intriguing: "What if I stole something?"
The maid nodded. "Yes, you can steal things. Civilians are free, and of course they will be bullied by those in power. But you can resist, provided you have the ability to do so."
Gu Huai's eyes flickered.
The maid said gently, "Actually, the Civilian card may seem like the worst card, but it's actually the card with the greatest chance of success. This is because Civilians have no worries and are free to do whatever they want. If you want to do something illegal or bully others, and you can avoid being arrested by NPCs or players and get the puzzle piece, you will win."
Now even Yiyi understood, and she said excitedly while sitting on the bed, "The Commoner card is the least restrictive card. Although it doesn't have any advantages, freedom is actually its greatest advantage."
Gu Huai thought carefully.
Did he also understand what this sentence meant?
The maid said, "You now have two options. The first is to find the remaining puzzle pieces hidden in this castle. The other is to snatch them from other players. Friendly reminder, there's a high chance you'll get duplicates."
Gu Huai suddenly realized: "What if I defeat everyone? There won't be one or two puzzle pieces left to be found."
The other party shook his head. "Of course not. You're only five pieces short. We have over forty people left here. Those who didn't get a piece in the last round are all in the audience watching you perform. So please believe me, only one of these forty or so people can gather the remaining five pieces. From now on, it's up to you. Also, if all the pieces are taken, you will be forced to withdraw from the competition. Please be aware of this."
Gu Huai understood and took the coarse linen shirt handed to him by the woman, and then took a list.
It clearly states the color of each position and its corresponding weaknesses.
Only the common people have neither weaknesses nor strengths.
Gu Huai remembered it at a glance, put it in his pocket, nodded politely and passed the woman by.
The plastic ball with the puzzle hanging on his body was hung with wire, but it was very thin and soft, and would probably break if you bent it lightly.
He is the most dangerous now, before his teammates arrive.
Yan Laiyi looked at Gu Huai's solemn expression and thought of the rules just now. He was very worried: "Gu Huai, if you are worried, I think you can hide first. That way you won't be targeted. What do you think?"
She controlled the drone and made a circle in front of Gu Huai.
Gu Huai felt like a playful little girl in front of her.
Just as his gentle features appeared, Shen Zaiye's rough male voice came from the drone: "Sister, you're thinking too much, because didn't you hear what that woman said just now? There are only two ways. One is to find the fragments hidden in the castle, and the other is to snatch the fragments from others. Once all the fragments are snatched away, you will be eliminated. As long as the players present are cleared, the fragments of the castle will belong to the remaining group. So there will definitely be many people who deliberately eliminate others. Gu Huai still has five fragments. It would be strange if he is not regarded as a thorn in the eyes of others."
Gu Huai frowned.
He knew that finding the puzzle pieces was not the most important thing in this battle, but resisting the attacks of others and grabbing the pieces of others was the most important thing. Offense is the best defense. Once everyone was cleared, the Heart of the Ocean would be obtained.
Shen Jingci analyzed rationally: "Then I think what Yiyi said is right. It's better to hide first and wait until Yan Fengsheng and Yan Wujiu are done before reappearing. After all, it's easier to do things with two adults. Gu Huai is a child and still a little weak. It's better not to act rashly."
Chen Xiuyan pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Gu Huai can't hide even if he wants to, because according to my prediction, they must have already set their sights on him, who has five Ocean Heart fragments. He should be their first target."
