Chapter 428: Chapter 428: The Toxic Duo - Who's the Real Weakness?
Xie Antong suddenly became extremely sharp, her words exceptionally piercing as she went all out, independently leading everyone toward the amusement park area.
The group exchanged puzzled glances - this was the first time they'd encountered a game where the host was also a player, and from the opposing faction at that.
This novel format only added more layers of mystery to the situation.
The group quietly followed the woman ahead, with even Sin remaining unusually well-behaved at this moment. They genuinely couldn't identify any particular weaknesses to exploit.
However, Wordweaver-White appeared particularly cautious, watching Blank ahead with a suspicious gaze.
He felt this tour guide was highly deceptive. Her ranking wasn't that high, so everyone instinctively didn't fear her much.
But in reality, a tour guide? And one with such high permissions - what did that actually mean!
It meant their entire group was essentially being led by the nose through this hell-difficulty game by an opponent from the rival faction.
Moreover, while his younger brother was annoying, he still had some capability. If this woman was chosen as the tour guide from their opposing camp, she definitely wasn't someone to underestimate!
This definitely didn't feel right.
As they approached the roller coaster, the bearded Wordweaver-White spoke up in his deep, resonant voice: "You really don't intend to explain the specific rules? This game is completely bewildering for us visitors."
"I don't believe the game actually grants you such high permissions that you could use them to lead us toward failure."
"Otherwise what?" Xie Antong replied without turning back. "I am leading you toward failure."
"We're from opposing factions. How to achieve your victory - shouldn't that be something you figure out yourselves?"
Wordweaver-White frowned. He wanted to say they definitely wouldn't follow her to the roller coaster game then, but realized it would be meaningless.
After all, if they didn't participate in these amusement park facilities, there would be even less to do - they wouldn't know what step to take next.
So, under the confused gazes of everyone who couldn't understand what was happening, he began talking to thin air again.
"Good brother, I'm a bit confused right now and need to ask you some questions. Help as much as you can."
"My energy is limited, so use it sparingly. Can you roughly sense what schemes that woman ahead might have?"
As he spoke, his hands waved through the air like some mystical dance.
Sun looked strangely at this world's fifth-ranked player. There wasn't the slightest trace of spiritual energy around him, but this seemed like some kind of spellcasting chant.
Xie Antong's heart immediately tightened as a peculiar mystical sensation enveloped her, bringing an inexplicable sense of danger.
But she remained composed, appearing completely unaffected. She understood this world's fifth-ranked player's ability all too well.
—Wordweaving!
It was that ability where one could unleash powerful skills through special incantations, somewhat like wizards from Western knight tales.
However, White's wordweaving method was exceptionally bizarre—he didn't seem to have fixed incantations at all!
His speech was unusually casual, completely lacking in gravitas, as if he was just having an ordinary conversation.
Xie Antong had watched his gameplay videos before. Wordweaver-White's speaking style was something like: "Brother Fire God, could you please conjure a fireball in my hand? I want to throw it at the enemy!"
And then an actual fireball would appear in his hand! It was utterly bizarre.
The group quickly arrived beside the dragon-like roller coaster. Xie Antong turned back to look at them, especially focusing her gaze on Wordweaver-White.
"Did you sense anything?"
Wordweaver-White frowned deeply and slowly said: "This woman seems to have deep schemes. Her thoughts are constantly operating in bizarre patterns..."
"But what she's doing now complies with game rules. It seems like we really need to participate in these games one by one."
As he spoke, he looked at the remaining visitors.
"As for the specific rules and how to win, we'll probably have to figure that out as we play."
Before anyone could respond, Lu Ce suddenly sneered, turning to look at Wordweaver-White as he said:
"Are you brainless or something?"
"She asks, and you just answer?"
Wordweaver-White: ?
He froze momentarily, completely unprepared for why Sin would suddenly target him at this moment.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Alright, never mind." The pink mask turned away again.
"Seems like you were telling the truth."
"With your level of brain development, probably any little trick from her side would seem like some grand conspiracy to you."
After Xie Antong's sharp words, this side's Jealousy also began fully demonstrating his toxic attributes, launching into wild mockery.
He left Wordweaver-White completely bewildered.
Why was he being targeted so aggressively before the game even started?
He wasn't someone with a particularly good temper, but would starting conflict with Sin now be unwise?
Plus, he probably couldn't win against him anyway...
"Alright, if there are no other questions, let's begin our roller coaster journey. We've had enough pointless talk already."
Xie Antong spoke up, her gaze sweeping over the seven people before the roller coaster before inadvertently glancing at that timid-looking girl. She suddenly asked:
"Miss, what's your name?"
"Ah? Me?" The always timid girl seemed startled. "My surname is Yu, you can call me Little Yu."
"Miss Yu, don't you have an Exit Coin?"
"Ah?"
Little Yu seemed completely unprepared for this question. The moment she heard it, a ferocious smile instantly appeared on Jealousy's pink mask.
"If you want to exit but don't have an Exit Coin, I can give you one." Xie Antong said with apparent kindness.
"After all, this game isn't a joke - you're risking your life here."
The fact that the leader of the opposing faction would say such things felt rather strange to the visitors.
Was she really that kind of person?
By comparison, Sin seemed even more beastly.
Little Yu also seemed completely unprepared, just looking very embarrassed as she whispered:
"This... isn't appropriate, right? Besides, this is only my first time participating in a game."
Xie Antong ignored her, just lowering her head to write and draw in her notebook.
—This woman surnamed Yu, she is not the weakness!
