Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Choosing the Next Scene
“Sorry to interrupt you two.” The Rabbit Gentleman walked over with a smile, “I just found out that the king who finished the first battle first has already been born. Now, please choose the next battle, Your Majesty.”
A selection panel appeared in front of Bai Youwei just like before–
Battle 1 Clown, Battle 5 Comic Man, Battle 10 Ball, Battle 20 Grey-robed Old Man; these four options appeared before her.
Among them, “Battle 20” has been greyed out and the button status cannot be selected.
For the next battle, Bai Youwei need to choose one from 1, 5, and 10.
“Do I have to choose right now?” Bai Youwei asked, feeling she was not ready yet.
“You have ample time to consider.” The rabbit-headed Inspector smiled, “However, you cannot leave the rest hall until a choice is made.”
Bai Youwei frowned.
She looked again at the three options. After a while, she suddenly thought of something and looked at the Rabbit Gentleman: “I have a question.”
The Rabbit Gentleman slightly nodded his head and asked gently: “Please ask.”
Bai Youwei said, “I currently have a total of 48 puzzle pieces, I just won his 32 pieces, plus 4 puzzle pieces in the hands of my subjects, totally making 84 pieces. So, even if I lose all the three upcoming battles, I can still advance to the final, right?”
According to the rules, the king can only be eliminated when the number of puzzle pieces is insufficient to participate in the competition.
The rabbit-headed Inspector smiled and said, “Even though it’s not explicitly stated in the rules, actually…the difficulty of the battles will gradually increase.”
“Increase? Bai Youwei was stunned, “didn’t you say before that the difficulty of the battle only depends on the matched opponent?”
The Rabbit Gentleman nodded again, “Let me put it another way–
The risk of battle will gradually increase, and by the third battle, the loser is almost unlikely to survive.”
If they can’t survive, what good will the puzzle pieces bring? They would still be eliminated.
Bai Youwei pondered with a frown.
Shen Mo suggested on the side, “Choose Battle 10.”
After thinking about it, Bai Youwei also thought Battle 10 would be more appropriate.
Because by the time the next battle begins, the king in Battle 10 will be a player who advanced from Battle 1 or Battle 5. Once a person advances, they often become more relaxed than before.
But at that time, Battle 1 and Battle 5 are likely to encounter defeated kings. People often fight to the death when they are close to the edge of death, even at the risk of a total collapse.
Bai Youwei chose Battle 10.
The Inspector for Battle 10 is Ball, who Bai Youwei is well acquainted with and familiar with its game type.
“The number of participants required for Battle 10 is eight people.” Bai Youwei pointed at herself and Shen Mo, “Apart from us, six more people are needed. Ball’s games are usually more violent, so we need to choose players who have a physical advantage.”
There is definitely no problem with Tan Xiao and Ya Chaohui, Asarina and Along can also work, but Pan Xiaoxin is not suitable.
Bai Youwei still lacked two subjects.
The Rabbit Gentleman smiled, “There is one month until the next battle, please prepare during this period. Also, the new maze authority has been opened, would you like to apply to enter now?”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed as she shook her head.
She still remembered what happened to Aqing clearly and didn’t want her companions to take more risks. Now that her leg was healed and her companions had entered the maze two or three times, managing the game wouldn’t be a problem.
“Giving up the application…” the Rabbit Inspector nodded knowingly, “You can apply to enter the maze whenever you want. Good luck.”
After speaking, he took a step back and disappeared in an instant.
Only four glowing squares remained in the empty rest hall, along with some subjects who had not been recruited lingering nearby.
