Various snacks and drinks were piled on the bed. Xia Linyin ate snacks while watching horror movies. She finished watching two horror movies, but still hadn't seen Li Luo.
During this time, she received a notification that she had been rewarded with seven Ghost Coins, two more than in the previous game. She used all of these Ghost Coins to upgrade her Crimson High Heels.
Xia Linyin finished the remaining potato chips in the bag, then tidied up and went to bed.
Xia Linyin didn't sleep well this time, having all sorts of bizarre dreams. When she woke up, her head felt incredibly heavy.
She rubbed her temples, glanced at the alarm clock on the table, and realized it was almost lunchtime, so she got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
Looking at the colorful fruits and vegetables on the plate, Xia Linyin had no appetite, and she couldn't eat any meat at all.
"Not having a good appetite?" A tall, slender figure sat down opposite Xia Linyin.
"Be careful what you say." Xia Linyin looked up at Su Jinyan, a smile appearing on her face.
After staring at Xia Linyin for a long time, Su Jinyan suddenly reached out his hand to her. His hand, with its distinct joints, was like a work of art and gleamed faintly under the chandelier.
"It's so good to see you again."
Xia Linyin laughed out loud, extended her hand and shook hands with Su Jinyan, "Me too."
Su Jinyan gracefully cut the steak on her plate into small pieces, her every move a delightful sight.
"What were you thinking about just now? I saw you spacing out for a long time."
“I saw that man again. His name is Li Luo,” Xia Linyin said.
The knife made a harsh sound as it sliced across the porcelain plate. Su Jinyan paused for a moment, then put the cut steak into her mouth. "Oh? Is he a player from Zone B?"
Xia Linyin shook her head. "I don't know. I told him my room number, but he didn't come looking for me."
"You two seem to have a special connection, playing two games together in a row," Su Jinyan said calmly, his voice revealing no emotion.
Xia Linyin nodded. "Yes, and Bai Xueer too. Bai Xueer played the game with me, but she..."
She didn't say the rest, but Su Jinyan already understood what Xia Linyin meant.
Su Jinyan was not surprised by this at all, and simply said, "Would you mind telling me about this game?"
"When Bai Xue'er and I woke up, we were in the same room, our wrists were handcuffed..." Xia Linyin told Su Jinyan the whole story of the game.
Su Jinyan listened quietly to Xia Linyin's story without interrupting her. He remained silent for a long while after Xia Linyin finished speaking.
“If you run into that man again, I hope you can stay away from him,” Su Jinyan suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Xia Linyin looked at Su Jinyan in confusion upon hearing his words.
Seeing Xia Linyin's confused expression, a hint of anger flashed across Su Jinyan's gentle eyes.
"Hasn't Bai Xue'er's death served as a wake-up call for you?"
"Do you know why players like Bai Xueer die in the game every day?"
"The main reason is not that they are not calm or smart enough, but that they only rely on others and would rather place their hopes on others than use their rusty brains to find a way to save themselves!"
"After the first game, what did Bai Xueer do? She threw all the horror movies in the drawer into the trash can, and she couldn't stay at the gym for long before complaining of pain and fatigue. She spent most of her time browsing online stores."
"These people have given up on themselves in action. They spend their days indulging in delicious food and high-end clothes in luxury hotels, yet they rely on others in their thinking, expecting those strong people who train hard every day to protect them in the game. Isn't that ridiculous?"
If a person is not smart enough or mentally strong enough, but he works hard to improve himself, watches various horror movies to overcome his psychological barriers, learns about different types of games from other players, tries to discover the vitality of these games, and constantly strives to improve his survival skills, desperately wanting to live, then even if this person dies in a game, he will still feel regret.
As for those who only shout and yell in every game, sorry, he has no sympathy for them. Even if such people survive this game, they won't survive the next one. Their fate of death is already sealed.
The reason he initially treated Xia Linyin differently was because, despite being filled with fear, she still refused his offer to exchange ghost coins for protection.
Su Jinyan picked up a glass of red wine and moistened his throat. He looked at Xia Linyin with a deep gaze. "Linyin, in my opinion, this game is less of a survival game and more of an elimination game. The mastermind behind this game probably thought the same way: to select the strong who can truly survive on their own abilities, rather than the useless who cling to others to survive!"
This game is just that cruel. Since they can't change the fact that they've been pulled into the game, they have to try their best to become stronger and stronger.
Xia Linyin bit her lip tightly.
"That man's name is Li Luo, right? I know you don't intend to rely on him, but it's undeniable that you've unconsciously developed a dependence on him, and this dependence will only deepen if you continue to get close to him."
"Lin Yin, look at me." Su Jinyan's voice was gentle yet seductive, his eyes so deep they seemed to suck away one's soul. "Can you guarantee you'll encounter him in every game?"
