Chapter 1421: Chapter 369: You Closed It, Then I’ll Open It
"You’re cheating!"
"Explain the principle of cheating..."
The results of the fourth round of the game are settled.
You Ai suppressed his anger, tightly clutching the cards in his palm, the patterns on them scorched by his gradually heating energy body.
Again like this.
The game hadn’t formally begun, yet the opponent already knew in advance which part of the rules’ power he had modified, winning by "explaining the principle of cheating."
This completely shattered You Ai’s mindset.
He stood up, glaring at the Life Throat, rage boiling in his crystal-like dazzling eyes.
He refused to believe the opponent could see through the "Game Space’s" rule logic.
The rules are a self-contained system; not even those who fancy themselves as gods find it easy to decipher.
The opponent must have used a technique similar to "Mind Reading Technique."
He gained insight into his intentions at the moment they formed, not by finding answers from the rule logic once the thoughts entered the Game Space.
But even so, the opponent’s behavior made him extremely angry.
Since birth, he had never faced such a troublesome opponent.
You Ai’s icy voice rang in Life Throat’s mind as a form of mental communication.
"What despicable means did you use?"
Faced with the question, Life Throat lazily leaned back in his chair, calmly watching the enraged You Ai, his silver pupils showing a hint of mockery:
"Despicable? Your way with words is impressive, cheating has become justified, huh? Hurry on to the next round."
You Ai heard this and slowly sat down with anger.
The game had already started; there was nothing he could do to the opponent now, terminating the contestant early would be met with backlash from the Game Space.
With a wave of his hand, he scattered the cards on the gambling table and presented the prize.
Life Throat unhesitatingly stowed it into his Space Bag.
Seeing the opponent’s man-eating gaze, Life Throat felt he had never been as pleased as now.
This is the confidence of being a player.
The right to make infinite mistakes, the capital to break rule restrictions, the ability to tear apart any established framework in the most flamboyant manner.
No matter what rules you adhere to, even Divine Realm Powerhouses mean nothing.
I curse when I want to curse, and I throw a tantrum if I feel like it; no one can bind me with rules.
With the backing of High-dimensional Gods, I can be resurrected if killed, start over if defeated.
This infinite tolerance is the ultimate capital for players.
This is a joy he had never experienced in his "previous life."
In the past, as a demigod walking the world with somewhat more confidence than ordinary beings, he still lived shackled by survival.
One wrong decision could lead to an irreversible abyss of death.
But now, as a player, he has completely bid farewell to the days of treading on thin ice.
He can recklessly charge forward, using abilities granted by Brother Guide, Life Soul Library, and his faction to easily break the "inevitable" perceived by Youlü Council members.
This joy is more scorching than winning ten Destiny Games.
Watching You Ai’s constrained expression, Life Throat inwardly laughed heartily.
Satisfying, so satisfying!
The joy of cheating, breaking rules, and the joy of being a player.
Adding these together far surpasses any future he imagined as a child.
His boldest childhood fantasies were still confined by environmental limitations.
But now, the recklessness gained from being a player is true liberation from all shackles.
This joy feels like a long-awaited storm washing away all the past days of adhering to constraints.
It’s an exhilaration unimaginable from his childhood dream of exploring Monster World as a member of Destiny Clan.
He feels that even a newbie in the game enjoys more pleasure and freedom than he did in Demigod Realm.
"Why are you still procrastinating?" Evil Wind circled around Life Throat, his eyes reflected You Ai’s repressed fury, finding it laughable.
"Dragging time won’t solve anything, hurry up and start the next round?"
These words stabbed like a knife into You Ai’s fragile pride, prompting him to jerk his head upward, glaring fiercely at Life Throat.
He then pressed his hand down, causing a painting to unfold on the gambling table.
Light and shadow swiftly shifted, and a stereoscopic map rose from the painting.
The blue-grey mountains sprawled like a dragon in the center, snow-capped at the main peak, surrounded by pale blue rivers that flowed through the gorges, pooling into a shimmering lake on the plains.
Scattered around the lake were village-like dots, with curling smoke rising slowly in the form of energy and light, even the crops in the fields clearly visible.
Golden patterned wheat fields swayed with the flow of energy from the sand table.
At the edge of the map, a purple mist arose, with indistinct wriggling shadows within.
At each end of the sand table, a stone pedestal floated before both Life Throat and You Ai, with a stack of cards on the left.
You Ai’s cold voice resonated:
"This round, we rely on our skills."
As You Ai’s words fell, detailed game information for this round appeared in Life Throat’s mind.
The gameplay, compared to previous modes, became more complex.
The game unfolds in a simulated war form, each round allows both sides to draw five cards from the deck.
Card types include: combat troops (1-10 stars), natural disasters, engineering structures, event cards, trap cards, etc., totaling 28 card types.
Each round, both players have 1000 points of action power, every card use consumes action power.
