The system did not respond, and the task disappeared.
Ye Lin was about to refuse, but Han Zhiqing agreed, so he had no choice but to go along with it.
As for Cai Jingyi and Xu Fei, they were completely ignored.
Truth or Dare is a party game, also known as Honesty and Dare.
The two sides compete by playing rock-paper-scissors, and the loser has to choose between "Truth" or "Dare".
The specific rules of the game are generally decided by rock-paper-scissors when there are two players.
When there are 3 people, you can use the palm and back of your hand to decide. If there are many people, you can draw cards. Generally speaking, the person who draws the joker has to choose between truth or dare.
[Truth or Dare]: If you choose Truth, the winner can ask the loser any questions, and the loser must answer all of them truthfully.
If you choose Truth or Dare, the winner will randomly pose any behavioral problem that the loser must attempt to complete, such as doing 20 push-ups, 50 squats, etc.
Once completed, this round ends, and the next round begins.
That's about it.
Xu Fei had never played before, but Mu Xiaoxiao patiently taught him. Xu Fei seemed to understand, but Cai Jingya suggested starting with something simple like rock-paper-scissors.
No one objected.
After one round, Xu Fei lost. Xu Fei chose to answer truthfully, intentionally or unintentionally handing the decision-making power to Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Xu Fei, let me ask you, what kind of girl do you like?"
Xu Fei scratched his head, a little shy, unsure how to answer.
Remembering what his mother had told him, Xu Fei said shyly, "I don't need someone who is very good-looking, because my mother said that if a woman is beautiful but not capable, I can't keep her. I also don't need money or power. My mother said that a man can earn these things on his own. So, I probably like someone who likes me."
Xu Fei's answer was somewhat serious. He was serious because he could really create his own world, stand out from the crowd, and bring glory to his ancestors. As for the person he liked, Xu Fei seemed to mean that as long as someone thought he was good, he would be fine. He didn't ask for anything, he just hoped that the two of them could be happy and not be disturbed by the world.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared at Xu Fei, seemingly lost in thought. Xu Fei lowered his head shyly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Luo Chen saw it all and knew exactly what kind of person Xu Fei was.
[Although Xu Fei's words were simple, they reflected his expectations. While he later became Ye Lin's loyal follower, Xu Fei truly lived up to his reputation; the title of "Overlord" was no joke. However, Xu Fei's romantic history was somewhat tragic. He was too honest, and because of his reputation, many women seeking fame and fortune approached him.]
[Xu Fei, being an honest man, was naturally deceived. It seems Mu Xiaoxiao cares about Xu Fei somewhat, but Mu Xiaoxiao's name isn't mentioned in the main story. That's a bit strange; perhaps they're just not meant to be.]
Han Zhiqing glanced at Xu Fei, then at Mu Xiaoxiao, especially noticing the look in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes when she looked at Xu Fei—it seemed like she really meant it.
She couldn't help but glance at Luo Chen again.
Cai Jingya watched the scene with amusement.
After several rounds of rock-paper-scissors, Luo Chen hadn't been hit even once. Cai Jingyi, Xu Fei, Mu Xiaoxiao, and even Wang Gang all spoke their true feelings.
Especially Wang Gang, even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't handle it.
"Wang Gang, which one of the people here do you like?" Cai Jingya asked deliberately.
"Of course it's Ye Lin. I just said that I won't change how others see him, because I only care about Giegie."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin immediately wanted to leave.
But when he saw Han Zhiqing looking at him, he held back.
"No, no, you keep choosing Truth or Dare, that's not fun anymore. Let's play the King's Game instead."
At this point, Cai Jingya proposed a new way to play.
Luo Chen also received a reward from the system at this time.
[Game Master]
Master all games.
"King's Game" refers to a poker game originating from country R.
In the game, the king's commands are absolute, and participants must unconditionally obey the king's instructions. The absolute power generated by the mandatory rules is the key to the game's captivating appeal.
First, prepare a deck of cards. Deal the cards according to the number of participants. For example, in a 4-player game, you need 1 joker and three number cards from 1 to 3, for a total of four cards. If there are 5 players, you need five cards, including one joker with a value of 1 to 4, and so on.
The game involves shuffling the cards and placing them on the table, or having the person shuffling the cards hold them in their hand.
Everyone draws a card as a hidden card, and no one knows which card each person drew. The person who draws the Joker becomes the King.
The person who draws the Joker card must reveal that they are the King, and then can randomly select one or two of the three players (numbers 1-3) to do anything.
Everyone must obey, because the king doesn't know what cards each person is holding, so the cards are randomly drawn.
Of course, it's not recommended to play this kind of game with unfamiliar friends. Some rules, even if they are intended to increase interaction, can still be off-putting. It's easy for problems to arise when unfamiliar people play together.
However, Cai Jingya didn't seem to have thought that far ahead. She directly took out a deck of cards, as if she had been prepared all along. Luo Chen's eyes twitched, and he felt a little uneasy.
Just as Luo Chen and his friends were playing games, a man-made ice sculpture was carefully pushed out by several waiters.
Despite being covered by a white cloth, the shape was still recognizable as a human-shaped ice sculpture, which was placed in an empty space not far from Luo Chen and the others.
The restaurant staff began to get busy, with the lobby manager directing them with a serious expression, as if some important person was about to dine there.
While they were busy, Luo Chen and the others had already played several rounds. There were cute scenes with Mu Xiaoxiao and Wang Gang, and there were scenes with Cai Jingyi and Xu Fei embracing each other affectionately.
Of course, there were also times when Luo Chen and Ye Lin shared chocolate bars.
Luo Chen cursed his bad luck, and Ye Lin felt disgusted, as if he had eaten shit.
If it weren't for Han Zhiqing's expectant look, Ye Lin would have slapped Luo Chen across the face long ago.
The same goes for this side; the system is forcing another task, and Luo Chen has already flipped the table and quit playing.
Cai Jingya was very lucky and got a hug from Han Zhiqing. The sight of the two beautiful women embracing each other made the kids at the next table drool with envy.
Luo Chen looked utterly dejected. The system rewarded him with a +3 Charm bonus, but Luo Chen discovered that the newly acquired Game Master skill was useless; he had still fallen victim to the system's trick. Immediately, he gifted the system a beautiful piece of traditional Chinese art.
The system did not respond, and a new round began.
The Joker is in Cai Jingya's hand; she is the Queen and decides the fate of everyone present.
Like a king, Cai Jingya looked down at her trembling people. As if she had thought of something, Cai Jingya revealed a dangerous smile.
She drew Han Zhiqing's name, and Luo Chen was caught in the trap again.
One was calm, the other terrified.
Cai Jingya deliberately stared at Luo Chen, who trembled like a lamb whose wool had been stripped off.
He was being watched closely by Cai Jingya, that big bad wolf.
