90: Chapter 90 Did the Grey Libertys Save the World?

A very strange room style.

Neither classical nor modern.

Neither Chinese-style nor Western-style.

It did not exist in the Old Era, nor was it a room from the New Era.

"Where is this?"

Chen Aoyun looked around; besides himself, there were other people in the strange room.

However, looking at their facial features, they did not seem to be Huaxia people.

Everyone in the room was dressed as servants, and Chen Aoyun was no exception; standing side by side, it seemed they were waiting for the arrival of some important person?

Crack.

A whip struck; the whip fell lightly and slowly, but Chen Aoyun found that he couldn't even move, let alone dodge.

This feeling was very strange; he could feel that his movements were not restricted by any object or power, but an inexplicable sense of crisis told him: "Don't move, if you move, you will die!"

The burning whip struck Chen Aoyun's body, instantly tearing his skin and flesh; the heart-piercing pain made his features contort.

He had no time to think about why he was participating in the Game of National Destiny a second ago, and now he was in a strange room.

A highly oppressive humanoid creature walked out from the shadows of the room.

Its build was massive, estimated to be at least two meters tall; its muscles were knotted all over its body, and within the exposed muscles, a furnace-like firelight flickered.

"Minotaur?"

"And a Minotaur with fire burning under its skin at that?"

"Uh, what's going on?"

"Didn't I just say the four words 'Self-Origin Characters' which attracted the attention of some 'Immortal'? Where did this bring me?"

The deeper his confusion, the more cautious Chen Aoyun became.

That whip just now seemed to be because of his looking around; combining that with the servant's outfit he was wearing, Chen Aoyun had a guess in his heart:

"Is this some plot world?"

"Did I become a [Roleplayer]?"

"But that doesn't make sense; the final stage of the Game of National Destiny doesn't have plot chess squares, and he is still a [Strategist]..."

Regardless of the reason for becoming a [Roleplayer], he could not panic at this moment.

Learning from the others, he straightened his chest and began to try hard to play the role of a competent servant.

The Minotaur, with molten fire flickering under its skin, put away its whip and began to mutter something unintelligible to the row of servants.

[Detected language of an extraterrestrial race, unable to analyze...]

Chen Aoyun had not never acted as a [Roleplayer] before; when seizing the 'Twin Trees' or during the 'Clear the Emperor's Side', he was a Roleplayer, but at that time, being a Roleplayer wouldn't result in hearing a voice like an intelligent AI.

Chen Aoyun's confusion deepened further.

The Minotaur walked up to a human; the young human put on a smile and said obsequiously,

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Danik, I come from Spain on Blue Star, male, human age 20..."

The Minotaur was expressionless and walked to the next human.

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Fedi, from the Philippines on Blue Star, male, human age 18..."

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Nande, from the Philippines on Blue Star, male, human age 19..."

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Ruan Tiange, from the USA on Blue Star, male, human age 23..."

"..."

The humans in the front row were reporting their identity information in various languages, but the wording of the reports made Chen Aoyun feel strange.

Male?

Do normal people describe their gender like this?

Shouldn't humans say men and women? Only animals or livestock would use the terms male and female.

At this moment, the Minotaur, who looked like someone not to be trifled with, had already walked up to Chen Aoyun. Chen Aoyun braced himself and also learned the phrasing of the people in the front row to introduce himself,

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Tang Junlin, from Huaxia on Blue Star, man, human age 35..."

Strange, even though Chen Aoyun was prepared to follow the example of the previous people and use the term 'male' to introduce himself, he found that although his mind was thinking of the word 'male', what came out of his mouth was 'man'.

This strange occurrence was very similar to the feeling he had after Chen Aoyun transmigrated, when he wanted to proactively share Huaxia history and culture with those around him but was inexplicably prevented by a mysterious force.

And he wasn't called Tang Junlin either; both the name and age didn't match.

Why did he say that?

And what was the prompt that appeared in his mind again?

[Elevate the coefficient of Huaxia characters to 12, achieve special achievement, you have gained the ability to understand all Blue Star languages]

"Is this the reason I understood what the people from Spain, the Philippines, and the USA around me were saying?"

The whip struck again.

This time it didn't lash against Chen Aoyun's body; the whip split into several spikes and, without warning, pierced through Chen Aoyun's heart!

Chen Aoyun fell to the ground in astonishment; before his consciousness completely vanished, he discovered that it wasn't just him; two other humans standing side by side had also been pierced through the heart by the whip's spikes.

[I have saved the game]!

A call rang out in his heart, just like releasing a skill.

In the inner call, there was his own voice, Chen Aoyun, and another person's voice mixed in.

Was it Tang Junlin?

It was Tang Junlin!

He opened his eyes again.

He had not returned to the Star Chessboard; it was still the same room, but time seemed to have rewound three minutes, and that Lava Minotaur had just started asking about the origins of the reserve servants.

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Danik, I come from Spain on Blue Star, male, human age 20..."

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Fedi, from the Philippines on Blue Star, male, human age 18..."

"..."

It was Chen Aoyun's turn again, and this time Chen Aoyun found that he seemed to have stronger control over this body, so he said,

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Chen Aoyun, I come from Huaxia on Blue Star, man..."

He changed to his real name, but the word 'male' still couldn't be spoken.

So, ten seconds later, Chen Aoyun died again.

He closed his eyes and opened them again; he was still in the room.

"What the hell?"

"Trapped in a loop?"

"Get killed and it reloads?"

Chen Aoyun was completely confused.

His control over his body was stronger; this time Chen Aoyun not only reported his real name but also changed the word 'man' to 'male'.

[Roleplayer] is just like this; let alone saying one's gender is 'male', when acting as a Roleplayer, in some situations you even have to call people 'daddy' according to the plot, and you have to call them that.

Chen Aoyun didn't think this was a big problem, but the problem was still chasing him!

After he used the word 'male' to describe his gender, he was still inexplicably killed.

Killed... reload...

Reload... killed...

After several times, Chen Aoyun finally discovered the key to escaping the loop!

Philippines!

Among all the servants, only those humans who identified themselves as being from the Philippines were not pierced through the heart by the whip.

"What? Did the Filipinos save the universe?"

"This Minotaur kills everyone, but just doesn't kill Filipinos?"

Thinking about it is one thing, but jumping out of the loop is the key.

Who can guarantee that dying like this can always reload, what if it can't reload the next time he dies?

The Lava Minotaur walked over again; this time Chen Aoyun introduced himself,

"Great Lava Minotaur, reserve servant Chen Aoyun, I come from the Philippines on Blue Star, male..."

The whip was still killing people, but it only killed the person from Spain and the person from the USA; he, Chen Aoyun, survived!

The Lava Minotaur muttered something else; Chen Aoyun couldn't understand it, but being smart, he just followed silently behind those Filipinos. As the Filipinos walked out of the room one by one, Chen Aoyun also followed in line to walk out.

Just as he was about to walk out of the room.

The Lava Minotaur's gaze followed him; sensing that something bad was about to happen, Chen Aoyun quickened his pace and walked out of the room before the Lava Minotaur could catch up.

A blinding white light struck.

The next moment, Chen Aoyun returned to the Star Chessboard.
