[Wow, almost everything matched! The person above is amazing! Their analysis is brilliant!]
[Isn't Mi Youyou's "asexuality" a bit too obvious? She was sent out by Cheng, and fell in love with Deputy Liang? A change of identity?]
[Impossible! Fang Yi's scripts have never been this low-level! The more obvious it is, the less likely it is to be this bad!]
[Aren't there spies around? Maybe they're spies!]
[Brother Nian and Brother Qiao can eliminate members of their own side, which means that both sides likely have spies!]
[Would they die if they challenged one of their own? They themselves might not even know someone's true identity! What if they accidentally challenged one of their own spies? Wouldn't they be unjustly killed?]
The rules for the interspecies battle are clearly biased towards Hua Changle!
[Hilarious, is it okay that they're good at it?]
Didn't they say cultivation level should match the character? It mainly depends on their individual abilities.
[I'm not making this up, but even though Hua Chang Le is only at the fourth tier, he can still easily defeat a bunch of them at the fifth tier.]
[Hana Chang Le's fans are bragging again.]
I'm curious who will be the first to be eliminated?
[Won't someone die on the first night? They should all be busy looking for clues.]
As the comments on the screen suggested, both sides initially chose to look for clues first.
For easy viewing, the screen is only slightly dark, not truly dark.
It was said to last all night, but the actual activity only lasted one hour.
Although Wasteland Fortress is an old building that has been abandoned for a long time, it actually occupies a large area.
Apart from the abandoned elevator and spiral staircase in the middle, there are still upward passages interspersed in some rooms, but they are not easy to find.
To improve efficiency, Hua Changle and Shen Xiao searched upwards, while Nian Jingliu and Lin Xuanyao searched downwards.
Qiao Risheng's side also split into two groups, one in the north and the other in the south, searching from bottom to top.
Hua Changle and Shen Xiao continued upwards. The game's scenery was incredibly realistic, and the two searched everywhere they went.
Hua Changle bent over and peered down the wall, reaching into the crack behind the cabinet—there seemed to be an envelope stuck inside.
If the envelope hadn't been white, and if her night vision hadn't been so good, she wouldn't have been able to see it at all.
As she was holding it, she suddenly felt someone rapidly approaching from behind. She whirled around, and the vines instantly tensed, poised to strike.
Shen Xiao stood frozen in place, his hands raised in front of his chest.
Hua Changle frowned: "Didn't I tell you to go look over there? Why are you following me around like this?"
Shen Xiao didn't leave, but instead said out of the blue, "Boss, no matter which side you're on, I'm sticking with you."
Hua Changle paused, turned around and sized him up: "Are you 'asexual'?"
"I...no. I'm a Cheng-style singer."
"Then what are you going to say? Could it be?" Hua Changle stared at him and took a step forward, "Ling Xiao, you also suspect me?"
Shen Xiao immediately shook his head: "No, I would never doubt the boss! I'll do whatever the boss tells me to do!"
Hua Changle stared at him for a moment and said, "You only need to follow your own heart. You are not my puppet."
Shen Xiao, caught up in the moment, grinned and said, "My heart has always belonged to the boss."
"..." Hua Changle's lips twitched, but he calmly retorted.
"If you dare to use your sweet talk to fool young girls to amuse me again, I'll chop you up."
"Gee!"
Seventeen-year-old Shen Xiao, who has already had three girlfriends, suffers a devastating blow.
Shen Xiao couldn't help but mutter, "Straightforward woman, no wonder you're all alone..."
"What did you say?"
Shen Xiao stood at attention: "I said the boss is as hard as steel. No wonder you draw your sword so naturally. It turns out you have no man in your heart!"
Hua Changle couldn't help but smile.
[Haha, I suddenly realized Shen Xiao has a comedic side!]
[Brother Nian: One who stays near ink... no, one who stays near vermilion gets stained red.]
[Shen Xiao: We tried to probe, but we didn't get anything out of them.]
Many of these ten people are complete novices when it comes to variety shows and games.
Hua Changle received the envelope, opened it, and found a clue—a list of names—inside.
"Inside a turtle shell."
Shen Xiao: "?? What the heck?"
[Wang's father? Where did this Wang's father come from?]
What's wrong with your input method, upstairs?
Hua Changle thought for a moment: "Could there be a turtle-shaped alien species around here?"
Shen Xiao agreed, "That's the only way to think about it."
Just then, the voice of the game's AI rang out:
"Attention players, three clues to the list have been found, and one extra skill card has been acquired."
The first night, nightfall, ten minutes remaining.
First night, challenge attempts: 0.
Hua Changle communicated with Nian Jingliu: "Young Master, we found a list as a clue, but we didn't encounter the Qiao faction."
"Keep searching."
As the first night drew to a close, the two prepared to head downstairs to hold their "Before Dawn" meeting.
Suddenly, the central control system broadcast two announcements in succession.
"Young Master Cheng has used the 'Prophet Card' to obtain all of Qiao Jin's (Nian Tu Jin's character name) identity."
"Lieutenant Liang challenged Secretary Yao and successfully defeated her, eliminating her from the competition."
The two stood frozen in place, Shen Xiao looking utterly astonished, while Hua Changle's pupils constricted slightly.
[I started killing people on my very first night?!]
【Huh?? Yao Yao was eliminated just like that? Why??】
[Is Liang Chengyu crazy?! Everyone's looking for clues, why does he have to kill someone to save him?]
[What is Nianmei's full identity? Does Nianmei have other identities? Could she be a spy for the Cheng faction?]
[It's also possible that there's no hidden identity, rendering the Nian Jing Liu skill card essentially useless.]
"Walk!"
Hua Changle and Shen Xiao immediately rushed to the first floor.
