"Where are you looking, [Cow]? Let's continue this game."
The minotaur kept staring down the corridor: "I have ten minutes to think each round, so as long as you haven't exceeded that time, you have no right to rush me."
The Tauren knew that continuing the game would be hopeless, so he was determined to stall for time!
Shadows continued to gather in the corridor, and Gwen gripped her scissors tightly, ready to strike at any moment!
"bring it on!"
A dark shadow swept in, and Gwen swung her scissors, unleashing a barrage of attacks forward!
"Sure! I can do it, this guy is no match for me!"
If it were the old Gwen, she might have given this shadowy figure some leeway, but after being strengthened once, this shadowy figure is no match for her!
The Minotaur can think for ten minutes each round, and Jiang Ran has no chance of winning the game in just a few rounds. What he's worried about isn't the Shadow Dragon, but the Virtual Dragon!
The two have been playing for quite some time now, and the [Void Dragon] could appear at any moment. Gwen is no match for the [Void Dragon], and Pride has not yet acquired the Heart of Sin. In other words, Jiang Ran currently has no means to deal with the [Void Dragon].
Seeing that the minotaur was still "thinking", Jiang Ran walked right up to him and slapped him across the face!
I want to play games with you properly, but you try to use tricks on me. Fine, I'll show you my tricks too!
"You seem quite proud of the game you designed? In reality, it's just a half-finished product. In the same opportunity, some options are simply unnecessary, and the difference in strength is too obvious!"
"The strength of the Greats is extremely unbalanced. And this is only the ten Greats cards we used in this game. It's hard to imagine how many overpowered monsters you have in your remaining 100-plus cards. Is this what you consider a balanced design?"
"Furthermore, since cities can be directly attacked, what's the point of creating so many terrain features? You're just trying to make the game look complicated, but you haven't made many things serve their intended purpose."
"Even if you beat me here, you haven't beaten me in the game. You've only taken advantage of being a [Zodiac]. Admit it, in this game full of loopholes, you've already lost."
"A game riddled with bugs..."
The minotaur looked up at the ceiling of the corridor and then burst into laughter!
"Perhaps I am not a qualified game designer, nor a qualified gatekeeper."
[Niu] took off his mask, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.
“You’re right. Our bet was just a game from beginning to end. I’ve overstepped my bounds, unworthy of the title of [Zodiac].” He took out a pistol from his pocket, released the safety, and pointed it at his forehead. “I concede. You win this bet.”
"If you still want to believe me, remember to go find [Gluttony] one last time!"
A gunshot rang out, and [Niu] fell into a pool of blood!
If he wanted to win this bet, he definitely could. He just needed to keep playing solid games and think for a full ten minutes in each round. No matter who the challenger was, they would eventually be devoured by the [Virtual Dragon]!
But he didn't do that at first. Instead, he really immersed himself in the game. He genuinely wanted to win against Jiang Ran fairly and squarely in the game. But when defeat was inevitable, he seemed to have forgotten that idea.
It wasn't just his talent that came into play; Jiang Ran's words may have also had a huge impact on him. When he was willing to admit his failure from the bottom of his heart, he had truly failed.
On the other side, Gwen also successfully repelled the Shadow Dragon and was celebrating her victory with her hands on her hips and a couple of hums.
"Let's hurry and find the keys!"
The three of them pushed open the door and searched left and right, finally finding the key she had left behind five minutes later!
"Found it! Now I can open my original room. The Heart of Sin you're looking for is inside!"
"May I ask where your original room was?"
"Hmm...it's probably about 30 floors down from here, I can only remember the approximate location."
Jiang Ran shook his head: "Then let's not go for now. The distance is too long and the time is too tight. If we encounter the [Void Dragon] along the way, we won't have any way to deal with it, and the probability of that is definitely not low!"
Ultimately, the three decided to go to the nearest special room first and wait for the [Virtual Dragon] to appear before taking action, which was the safest option at the moment.
While Jiang Ran was on his side, Aransta finally managed to gain the trust of the lustful little girl. Can you imagine how many fairy tales he told and how many nursery rhymes he sang during this process? He would have preferred to just kowtow and beg for mercy, which would have been much faster!
"Big brother! I can give you my heart of great sin! But I finally made a friend like you, and I want to tell my other friends this good news. Can you come with me to meet them?"
The Heart of Great Sin? It must be the item needed to clear the game, Aransta chuckled bitterly. He asked him if he was willing. Could he refuse? Did he even have a choice?
I'm afraid that if I refuse, this little girl will turn hostile on the spot!
"sure."
"Yay! Let's hurry up and go!"
Aransta followed the footsteps of lust and arrived at a new floor.
Out of caution, he first checked which zodiac animals were associated with this floor.
There are four different Chinese zodiac animals present in this layer!
The rabbit can't talk!
The tiger will drive away intruders!
The rooster will warn you of impending danger!
[Dragon] (crossed out)!
This was the first time Aransta had seen a [Dragon] in the room's prompts. He was unaware of the rules for the second phase, as the current rule information was still limited to the first four rules.
The subsequent rules are not automatically issued over time; you must obtain the Great Sin Jewel!
"The other zodiac animals have detailed descriptions, why not the dragon?"
"Hurry up and keep up, big brother!"
"Oh! Okay, okay!"
Aransta didn't have time to think too much. He was just wondering why the [Dragon] wasn't mentioned, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the existence of the [Dragon].
As for the Chinese zodiac, how could it be without the dragon? As a prominent cultural element of the Dragon Kingdom, Alansta, being a White Eagle, naturally knows which animals are included in the twelve zodiac animals.
Lust happily skipped around in the corridor, finally stopping outside a room and knocking on the door.
"Big brother! I've made a new friend! It's another big brother! Oh, big brother! Come here, come closer!"
He kept calling him "big brother," and Aransta wasn't sure if he was being addressed properly, so he could only walk over silently.
The door opened.
A man wearing a dragon head mask slowly walked out!
