Chapter 209: Minotaur evolution? Increasingly cruel rules!
Several people nodded slightly with heavy expressions.
Admittedly, Tang Hui's arrival had disrupted the prison's established development path.
It caught everyone off guard.
With a precedent for resurrection, such situations might occur again in the future.
After every Death Game, there were new casualties.
If former opponents appeared in a match, Su Yang worried about running into acquaintances.
Especially acquaintances who had witnessed his "Deception."
This was his greatest trump card and the key to victory.
Just as he had said, the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes; in a situation without scruples, if someone were to explode with him...
"It really knows how to toy with people..." Su Yang shook his head with a sneer.
He was accustomed to killing to silence others, thinking it was foolproof.
Yet now, it had dealt him a heavy blow!
"What are you afraid of? Would I, your father, be afraid of a dead man?" Lin Yang was immediately unconvinced.
He felt Su Yang was worrying unnecessarily; there was no need to fret over such ethereal things.
Besides, only one person had been resurrected.
In a room of thousands, what were the odds of being matched together?
Su Yang tilted his head to look at his brave expression, patted his shoulder, and said, "Keep that mindset. I don't want to see your corpse in the next blood-colored passage."
"I just simply feel there's no need to fear a loser," Lin Yang whispered.
"There are countless types of games. Every sentence and every action is a gamble. Just because he lost doesn't mean he's weak. Similarly, just because you won doesn't mean you're strong."
"Some people have superb strength but lose to the rules, while others can't even understand the rules but manage to make it to this day."
"Sometimes luck plays a big part. Don't underestimate anyone," Su Yang said.
At the very least, among the opponents he had met, Nan Xue Qing and Jiang Yao were not weak; they had both lost to the "rules."
Zheng Jue and Xu Yutong were also very strong; they were adept at disguising themselves while exploiting loopholes in the rules.
If it had been anyone else, they might have lost long ago.
Lin Yang nodded, half-understanding, "Tang Hui should be an exception, right? I suppose resurrection won't happen again in the future, will it?"
"Let's hope so..." Su Yang murmured.
At this moment, Luo Shuangshuang suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw the Minotaur press the elevator button to ascend rapidly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wanrou didn't see anything amiss.
"Look more closely," Luo Shuangshuang's voice became somewhat sharp.
Su Yang looked intently and discovered that the Minotaur inside the elevator reached out to scratch its back.
"Did you see that? It was scratching an itch!" Luo Shuangshuang said excitedly.
"Are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Is scratching an itch so strange?" Lin Yang immediately felt it was inexplicable.
A cow has hands and feet; is it not allowed to scratch if it's itchy?
Luo Shuangshuang said anxiously, "Don't you think it's becoming more like a human?"
"What does that imply?" Lin Yang was puzzled.
"It implies that it is also evolving," Su Yang said.
Hm?
Several people showed strange expressions, unable to help but recall the Minotaur's behavior during the initial prison stage.
At that time, it only appeared during "curfew" and was responsible for patrolling the floors.
It was also responsible for one execution per game round.
It was like a robot, fulfilling a single task.
It never had any superfluous movements.
"Isn't it an administrator? It doesn't participate in the games anyway," Lin Yang said.
"What if it was turned into one by a player?" Su Yang said with a half-smile.
"Ah?"
"I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously," Su Yang waved his hand.
He then rubbed his empty stomach and walked toward the kitchen, "Lin Yang, hurry up and cook. I'm starving to death."
"Oh..." Lin Yang, burdened with heavy thoughts, trotted over and took out the remaining ingredients from the refrigerator.
The others remained standing where they were, watching the Minotaur open the iron gate and leave.
Su Yang's casual remark just now sounded terrifying to them upon closer reflection.
Such an absurd thing as resurrection had already occurred.
It was not impossible for a person to turn into a cow.
Moreover, looking at the timeline of the Minotaur's appearance, it was exactly after the first Death Game.
This could also explain that they might very well have been transformed from something.
"We still know too little about the prison..." Lu Junsheng said.
Bai Wanrou nodded in agreement; she felt that potential dangers were increasing.
Not only from players but also from hidden dangers outside the games.
If the Minotaur also evolved along with the players' evolution, would it eventually develop self-awareness?
As an administrator, once it had emotions, it would be difficult to guarantee fairness.
This was also what Luo Shuangshuang was most worried about.
"Su Yang, we don't have many ingredients left. We still have to survive for fifteen days. What should we do?"
"Didn't you get a food gift pack when you cleared the game?"
"No, they only gave me a daily necessities gift package."
"Is that so? Let me take a look."
Su Yang remembered that after the rules were fully upgraded, one should be able to choose rewards freely.
Yet the reward he received was the so-called "Shop Zero-Yuan Purchase" qualification.
At first, he hadn't taken it seriously; after all, he had never lacked food in the prison.
Every time he played a game, he would be sent a bunch of gift packages.
Now that he had to stay inside for fifteen days, he couldn't just survive on water for the latter half.
Thinking of this, Su Yang observed with the remote control for a moment and discovered a button with a "house" icon on it.
He pressed it with his finger, and the screen suddenly changed to a shopping interface.
"Vegetables, fresh produce, cooked food, convenience food..." Su Yang looked at the dazzling array of goods, his eyes becoming blurred.
He casually selected "cilantro" and discovered that the weight column could also be adjusted.
Ranging from half a jin to ten jin, the prices after selection were also different.
"Half a jin for 1 point, ten jin for 15 points?" Su Yang was slightly stunned.
He thought he had misread it, so he exited the interface and entered the fresh produce channel.
"5 jin of black fish for 2 points, 3 jin of hairy crabs for 5 points..."
Su Yang rubbed his eyes and looked intently, discovering that all goods were clearly priced.
And the currency required for purchase...
Was exactly points!
"What are you muttering about?" Lin Yang walked into the living room wearing an apron and holding a spatula; seeing this scene, he was suddenly startled.
Immediately, his voice rose an octave, "Fuck! This damn thing costs money?"
Su Yang was almost deafened by his shout and said irritably, "Keep it down, don't be so jumpy."
At this time, the neighbor Bai Wanrou also noticed this phenomenon.
She tried to order 20 jin of rice, and in the blink of an eye, 1 point was deducted.
Subsequently, a bag of rice instantly appeared in the kitchen.
When she checked the leaderboard, she discovered that her ranking had dropped from 512th to 635th.
"Brother Sheng, this..." Bai Wanrou was suddenly at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Points replacing currency?" Lu Junsheng frowned.
In just a moment, the rankings on the leaderboard changed crazily.
He saw the rankings of various players fluctuating up and down like a drop tower, with points constantly being deducted.
He watched with his own eyes as the player ranked 201st saw their ranking plummet, falling straight past 1000th place!
Seeing this scene, Su Yang couldn't help but think to himself: "If you can't get a 'hidden achievement,' you don't even deserve to eat?"
"This is trying to drive the players to death..."
————
Got the name wrong again...
I clearly used the name "Tang Hui," but as I wrote, it turned into "Tang Jun."
Someone mentioned that "Tang Jun" was actually Lu Junsheng's teammate in the fourth Death Game.
Sorry everyone, it has been changed back... ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
