112: Board game secret realm!

After putting these two pieces of equipment into his spatial storage, Lin Chuan's Ranking Rewards (list reward) was left with only 1 skill point and one attribute fruit!

His luck was good; he received a Constitution Fruit!

Since his own attributes had reached their limit, he couldn't consume attribute fruits.

However, Aiya was constantly bleeding to feed the Blood Gu insect, so the higher her Constitution, the better!

Just then, Aiya sent a long string of messages—

“Oh my god!!! The entire Old Western-Style House is covered in bodies!!! And these bodies are all severely decomposed!!! Good thing I came here during the day, otherwise I would have been scared to death! No, I’m definitely going to have nightmares tonight! I can’t, I’m going to throw up!!!”

Lin Chuan was not surprised by this message.

It seemed that the bodies Luo Yanping used to frame him for murder were indeed left in the Old Western-Style House!

And those bodies were later taken advantage of by Zhuo Kaitian!

This was the cruel apocalypse! Without strength, one was destined to become a stepping stone for others!

Lin Chuan traded the Constitution Fruit over and then instructed, “Go to Shen City as soon as possible. Don't return to the Capital without my orders!”

“Okay! I’ll listen to the boss!!!” Aiya's mood clearly improved after getting the Constitution Fruit.

Lin Chuan then reminded her, “I need the Blood Gu insect by 12 o'clock at the latest!”

“OK! I'm going to Shen City to work for you now!”

In the Capital's Old Western-Style House.

Because the surrounding environment was too “harsh,” Aiya did not immediately consume the Constitution Fruit Lin Chuan gave her.

Instead, she and Cai Zhiji left the Old Western-Style House for a long time, and only after feeling more comfortable in her stomach did she consume the Constitution Fruit.

What she didn't notice was—

The moment she took out the Constitution Fruit, Cai Zhiji, who was following behind her, suddenly looked back!

And hidden within that ornamental shrubbery was a small, thin figure!

Ten-year-old Zhuo Kaitian was practically prostrate on the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly!

It wasn't until Cai Zhiji's back completely disappeared that his taut nerves finally relaxed slightly!

However, his gaze towards Cai Zhiji remained wary and fearful, yet also with a hint of confusion.

In Hai City, the finding paper crane released by Lin Chuan had not found anyone yet.

He simply took out his Fate Poker again and casually drew a card!

He flipped it over to see that it was a 9 of Diamonds!

A 9 was considered a pretty high number!

And Diamonds signified a Secret Realm!

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and then directly activated this playing card!

Soon, the playing card transformed into a Secret Realm entry ticket!

On the entry ticket, there was an illustration of a closed large door!

This door represented a challenge Secret Realm, also known by players as a trial Secret Realm or board game Secret Realm!

These types of Secret Realms usually involved 8-12 people playing a simple game together.

Winners received rewards!

Losers received punishments!

Similar to board games like Three Kingdoms Kill or Werewolf, because there were many players and only a few were needed for a game, these Secret Realms could open almost instantly, often matching in just a dozen seconds!

Lin Chuan indeed waited less than ten seconds before a familiar sound rang in his mind—

“Ding! Room A018 has matched 12 players! The room opening standard has been met! Room A018 is opening! Players, please prepare yourselves!”

“3... 2... 1!”

The moment the countdown ended, Lin Chuan found himself in a sealed room!

There was a huge round table and 12 luxurious throne-like chairs!

Each chair was occupied by a player!

And on the table in front of each player's seat, there was a crystal cup, with sparkling numbers from 1 to 12 engraved on its wall!

Lin Chuan's number was exactly 12!

The other 11 people, 8 men and 3 women from different countries, were cautiously observing each other.

After about a minute of observation, a steady male voice came from the round light overhead:

“Hello everyone, I am the judge for your game. I will introduce the game rules to you!”

“12 players, no faction division!”

“From 1 to 12, each player will reveal a piece of information related to themselves, and the other players will judge whether what that player says is true or false!”

“At the end of the game, those who judge all correctly will receive rewards!”

“Those who make any incorrect judgments will be annihilated!”

“Now begins a three-minute free discussion period. Players can ask the judge for more game details!”

“Hiss...”

The moment the judge announced the game rules, all 12 players simultaneously gasped!

This game was too unreasonable!

If even one judgment was incorrect, they would be annihilated!

Even Lin Chuan, at this moment, was very glad that he had a secret realm exemption card in his hand!

It was precisely because he had a secret realm exemption card that he dared to open this Secret Realm directly!

Fate Poker still had its patterns!

A 9 of Diamonds was considered a relatively high card, and the trial Secret Realm behind it naturally wouldn't be simple!

But high risk also meant high reward!

At this moment, players had already begun to ask for game details:

Player 7: “What specific range does ‘related information’ include?”

Judge: “Related information only includes information displayed on your attribute panel. For example, if you have the names Zhang San and Tony, but the name on your attribute panel is Zhang San, then if you say your name is Tony, it will be judged as false!”

Player 3: “Can players agree in advance whether what they say is true or false?”

Judge: “Yes. But a special reminder: the fewer survivors, the more rewards each person gets; the more survivors, the fewer rewards each person gets!”

The judge's meaning was very clear!

These twelve people were in a competitive relationship!

Even if they agreed with other players beforehand, how could players truly trust each other?!

For example, if they agreed to all tell the truth!

But what if someone deliberately broke the agreement and lied?!

Just then, Player 6 suddenly spoke, “When players reveal information, can they obviously lie? For example, if I say my Strength attribute is 10,000?”

Judge: “You can obviously lie.”

As soon as these words came out, almost all players' eyes lit up!

That Player 6 was a quiet-looking girl.

She then said to the other players present, “I’m sure none of you want to be annihilated by the game rules, right? If so, I think we must unite!”

Immediately, someone retorted, “How do we unite? It's easy to say ‘unite’ now, but we don't even know each other in reality; it's not an exaggeration to say we all have ulterior motives! With such a lack of trust, how can we cooperate?”

Player 6 smiled, “If we agree to tell the truth, but someone breaks the agreement and deliberately lies, we really can't do anything! But if we agree to tell a very outrageous lie, everyone can easily judge it!”

As soon as these words came out, they instantly won the approval of all players!

Indeed, outrageous lies were very easy to distinguish!

Soon, almost all players agreed:

“Agreed! I hope everyone abides by the agreement and tells outrageous lies together!”

“Right! Only by uniting and cooperating can we all survive, right? No matter how rich the rewards are, isn't living more important?”

“Exactly, exactly! Living is more important! Agreed to abide by the agreement and tell outrageous lies, let's all cooperate!”

The 12 players almost instantly reached a consensus!

Lin Chuan had always kept a low profile, and finally, he also chimed in a few words to express his agreement.

Soon, three minutes were up, and the judge announced, “From now on, no one is allowed to speak without my command!”

“In the crystal cups in front of you, there are 12 small balls numbered 1-12. When you think a player is lying, throw their corresponding numbered ball into the crystal cup! Once a numbered ball is thrown into the crystal cup, it cannot be taken out! Three minutes after the 12th player reveals their information, the game ends, and the judge will determine the winner and loser!”

“Now, listen to my command, Player 1, begin speaking!”

Player 1 was a black man. He directly said, “My Strength attribute is 1000!”

As soon as these words came out, the remaining 11 players smiled knowingly and threw ball number 1 into their crystal cups.

Players 2 to 5 followed the same pattern, all telling outrageous lies!

When it came to Player 6, the girl, she smiled slightly and said, “My Talent has no level.”

As soon as these words came out, the other players smiled knowingly, but Lin Chuan's brow twitched!
