Mo Shuwan nodded. "That's possible, but I also think that if it really is related to the existence of the Time Bus, they wouldn't come all the way to find a nobody like me and hand over this jade pendant to me."
The group fell silent. The topic was too far-fetched, and with the information they had, any guesses were merely speculations.
Yang Zhou looked at Mo Shuwan, who was deep in thought, and asked softly, "Captain, could this be another trick in the game?"
Chen Jiaxu immediately nodded, "That's possible! Captain, you have to be careful!"
"Probably not. After the mysterious man said I barely passed the test and gave me the jade pendant, the difficulty of my punishment game task did decrease."
"But we've only been in the game world for five days now, and we're going to stay here for a full ten days. There's a good chance it's just a trick by the game."
Mo Shuwan looked up at Liu Dongcheng and saw that he looked serious. It seemed that he was really worried about this issue. She couldn't help but ponder it herself and finally realized that their worries were not unfounded. In this game world, it was hard to distinguish between reality and illusion until the very last moment.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Shuwan put the jade pendant back into her storage space. "I'll keep it for now. I'll know whether it's real or fake when I get back to the bus."
"If it's really just a trick in a game, wouldn't it be unsafe to carry it around?"
"Whether it's safe or not, I have to make this choice."
Since Mo Shuwan herself had said so, Yang Zhou and the others could only swallow their words of dissuasion, no matter how worried they were. Wen Zuo, on the other hand, did not try to dissuade Mo Shuwan at all and was very supportive of her decision.
Wen Zuo: Shu Wan is right. We must keep this jade pendant. We can't just throw it away because we suspect it's related to the game. Besides, we are in the game world, and it would be too easy for the game to tamper with it.
Seeing Wen Zuofa's message in the discussion group, Mo Shuwan couldn't help but feel happy. "Yeah, that's what I thought too. If this jade pendant wasn't tampered with by the game world, then it proves that it's very important. So important that a mysterious person who might be related to the existence of the Time Bus had to personally test me, and only after barely passing the test did he hand it over to me."
Seeing Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo's relaxed expressions, Liu Dongcheng and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then relaxed as well.
"I'll listen to you all. If you're not afraid, then I'm not afraid either."
Seeing that Chen Jiaxu was even joking, the last bit of worry in Mo Shuwan and the others dissipated.
With everything discussed and the reward yet to be announced, the group relaxed, some sleeping and others eating, seemingly unconcerned about any unexpected changes.
"If you're tired, lean on me and take a nap."
Mo Shuwan could actually hold on, but seeing Wen Zuo's worried eyes, she unconsciously relaxed her straight back and said in a low voice, "I am a little tired. I'll take a nap first, and I'll take over for you later."
Wen Zuo nodded, opened his arms and pulled Mo Shuwan into his embrace, letting her sleep with her head on his thigh.
The two have been through thick and thin together since the second mission world, and they've gotten used to such intimate gestures. Mo Shuwan only paused for a moment before leaning over and lying on Wen Zuo's leg. She couldn't help but yawn a few seconds after she settled down.
Wen Zuo took a piece of clothing from the storage space and covered Mo Shuwan with it, then pursed his lips and quieted down.
Chen Jiaxu, who was slumped over and dozing off beside Yang Zhou, turned to look at him and nudged his arm, whispering, "Why don't you let me lean my legs against you? I haven't had a proper rest in days, and this crappy place doesn't even have a bed. I really want to get a good night's sleep..."
Yang Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the incessantly chattering Chen Jiaxu. He wanted to scold him with disgust, but after seeing the missing eyeball in Chen Jiaxu's eye, he changed the subject. "Don't you have a bag? Just take it off and use it as a pillow."
Chen Jiaxu sighed, "Where can you find a comfortable place to rest your legs on?"
“…Then don’t sleep.” Yang Zhou answered without hesitation.
Seeing that he really disagreed, Chen Jiaxu secretly glanced at Liu Dongcheng, who was sitting next to her with his arms crossed. Unfortunately, before he could speak, he was met with a cold look from Liu Dongcheng. "Um... well, you can continue sleeping. I'm fine."
He looked frustrated and didn't notice that Yang Zhou had moved further away from him. Chen Jiaxu turned his head to look at Mo Shuwan, who was already asleep in Wen Zuo's arms, and felt a pang of grievance.
All I wanted was to find a comfortable spot to get a good night's sleep!
After facing crises non-stop for five days, the five people were finally able to stop and rest for a while. Fortunately, the game rules did not rush them. Just when each of them felt that their mental state was at its best, five lucky bags suddenly appeared on the empty table.
Mo Shuwan reached out to touch one of the lucky bags, only to find that her hand couldn't reach it. "Can't I touch it?"
Wen Zuo also stepped forward, looked at the five lucky bags and pondered for a moment, "It should be one for each of the five of us, and we can only get the ones that belong to us, so let's all try."
Mo Shuwan nodded and called Yang Zhou and the others over. Everyone tried to touch the lucky bag, and as Wen Zuo had said, each of them got one of the five lucky bags. As long as they got the correct lucky bag, they could touch it directly.
"What's this?" Excitedly, Chen Jiaxu opened the lucky bag first, took out a black card, and then couldn't find anything else inside.
There really was only this one card in Chen Jiaxu's lucky bag.
Before anyone else could open their cards, they all turned to look at the card in Chen Jiaxu's hand upon hearing his question.
The card was pure black, even simpler than the time card. The time card at least had the letters S/SS/SSS on it, but the black card in Chen Jiaxu's hand had nothing at all; it was just a plain black card.
"Keep it for now, we'll figure out its specific use later."
Chen Jiaxu nodded, but instead of putting it away, he examined the black card over and over again. Although he didn't know its specific function, this card was the reward he had earned after working so hard to clear the game!
Significantly meaningful!
With Chen Jiaxu's black card memorized, Mo Shuwan opened the lucky bag in her hand. Unexpectedly, the seemingly small lucky bag, no bigger than the palm of her hand, contained a lot of things.
There were five cards similar to those of Chen Jiaxu alone. In addition, there were three blue boxes of different sizes. The moment the three boxes were taken out, everyone immediately realized that the contents of these three boxes were not simple.
"Captain, shall we open it and take a look?"
