"The D1 waiting area is not just this hall; it also includes a dormitory area, a skills training area, a talent research area, a skills development area, a follower accommodation area, and so on. As of now, due to time constraints, we have not yet completed the development of all areas."
"The name D1 clearly indicates that the escape game covers more than one waiting area; all escapees can enjoy any service in the waiting area, some of which are free... and of course, many more require payment."
"Next, we'll introduce the most important part: the rules of the escape game..."
Huang Yi took a deep breath, magically produced a glass of water, drank it down, and then shook it with a smile: "For example, this bottle of water costs 1 resource coin, isn't that expensive?"
"Resource coins are the only currency in the escape game mechanics, and they are crucial."
"The only way to obtain resource coins is to participate in the escape game."
"The rules of the escape game are: search, fight, escape... I think you already know that participation in the escape game is not mandatory for each survivor."
"Yes, you can participate in the next escape game immediately after you escape once, if you wish."
"Shh!"
Suddenly, the blond-haired man raised a finger, eager to perform, and said mysteriously, "But guess what? Do people crave to participate in the game, or do they resist the next game?"
Su Lin: "I won't guess."
"Hey buddy, this isn't fun anymore, let's play along!"
"Of course I long for it."
Xiao Linlin, who had been silent in Su Lin's arms, suddenly spoke up, her childlike voice innocent: "Everything here costs money. Resource coins are the only circulating currency, and resource coins can only be obtained through the game."
"Therefore, the danger of the escape game itself is not the real danger; the real danger is poverty."
"Poverty means the possibility of dying from hunger, thirst, freezing, or disease."
Before Xiao Linlin could finish speaking, Huang Yi stared at her with an incredulous look, as if she were looking at a monster: "Little girl, I haven't even finished explaining yet, how do you know all this?"
"Could it be...?"
Before Huang Yi could guess, Xiao Linlin playfully stuck out her little tongue: "The system hasn't told Big Brother yet, so we haven't seen any notification; but it's not hard to know this, all you need is a brain."
Grass!
She even knew that the system would tell newcomers the basic rules!
That's outrageous!
Huang Yi and her ilk make a living by exploiting the system's "information delays," and she even saw through that?
Is this still a child?
Oh, right, if you think about it carefully, it seems that the answer can be deduced from these things.
But this kind of logical thinking ability should be something only adults possess, yet this girl looks to be only ten years old!
"You're quite something, kid... Wait a minute, everyone should be randomly scattered after leaving the game, how come you're with a kid?"
Huang Yi stopped talking halfway through his sentence. He realized a possibility and looked at Su Lin with an incredulous gaze.
Their gazes were filled with envy and jealousy.
This is a servant!
Su Lin frowned. He knew that having followers was not something that could be hidden, but he didn't expect it to be discovered so quickly.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Huang Yi took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Linlin, and asked in a deep voice, "Little girl, what else do you know?"
Xiao Linlin did not answer, but looked at Su Lin as if seeking Su Lin's consent.
"You can judge for yourself, I trust you."
Su Lin smiled and spoke, while Xiao Linlin buried her head in Su Lin's chest and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, the real threat to the escape game mechanism is the resource currency, which traps people here and forces them to continuously participate in the cruel game through a unique economic system..."
"...So, considering its potential underlying needs, although I'm not yet clear about its true purpose, it's at least certain that it needs people to participate in the game."
"Therefore, we can further infer that death in a survival game may not be true death, and the dead survivors may still be alive?"
"After all, no matter how large the human population is, a large number of people will die in a high-frequency, high-pressure, and high-risk escape game, and it probably doesn't want to see a rapid decline in the population."
No sooner had Xiao Linlin finished speaking than Huang Yi's lips twitched slightly: "What a little pervert..."
How exactly does this child's head grow?
She guessed right again!
Death in the escape game is not real death; you can still leave the game safely, but there will be a small penalty.
"So, what is the penalty for losing the game?"
Xiao Linlin took the initiative to ask this question. Huang Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly. He felt that he didn't need an introduction. This girl could guess everything about him.
"Actually, the system will tell you later... Never mind, it's actually very simple. If you fail, you will lose half of your current resource coins and warehouse, which is half of all your assets."
"If you have no assets, 10,000 resource coins will be deducted; if you don't even have 10,000 resource coins, then it will be a negative number."
Huang Yi took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Dude, you've successfully escaped, so you should know how this game works now, right? Resource coins are everything. You can buy more equipment to bring into the game, and the equipment affects your success rate in escaping."
"Negative assets can trap people in an endless vicious cycle of failure, deductions, escapes, and torment."
