Chapter 172: Chapter 172

The food chain game!

Tang Mo’s eyes became cold as he heard these words.

In the huge room, the beautiful girl in a blue dress looked at the reaction of the humans in front of her and was very satisfied. She grinned, revealing two small tiger’s teeth. Wang Xiaotian coughed twice. “Aren’t you afraid? Isn’t it intense?” The group stared at her warily. The girl waited a long time before clasping her hands together. “Yes! This is the most frightening food chain game in the Underground Kingdom!”

A female voice was heard. “What is the food chain game?”

Wang Xiaotian waved her right hand and aimed the glass lens at the female player. “This question is good. What is the food chain game? Hehehe, it is my favourite game. Do you see this box in my hand?”

…Box?

The group stared at Wang Xiaotian’s hand.

There was nothing there.

Wang Xiaotian coughed with embarrassment and whispered, “Pumpkin carriage, quickly spit out my lottery box.”

The next second, the huge pumpkin carriage shook violently. It was like a broken machine as it made strange sounds. The noise was so loud that the group frowned with discomfort. Tang Mo covered Chen Shanshan’s ears. The noise lasted a minute. It was just becoming unbearable when the pumpkin opened its mouth and spat out a gem covered box.

The pumpkin carriage hiccuped and Wang Xiaotian excitedly grabbed the box before turning to look at the seven humans in front of her.

She tried her best to hide her gloating smile but she couldn’t suppress it.

After a moment, Wang Xiaotian tried to make her voice less excited. “Cough, you… you guys, come here. Come and draw the lottery.”

Tang Mo calmly asked, “Draw?”

Wang Xiaotian nodded. “Yes, come and draw the lottery. If you want to play this game then hurry and draw lots!”

They really don’t want to play this game at all!

This was what they were thinking but the seven players walked forward and pulled a small ball from the box. Tang Mo saw the number on his ball and his eyes narrowed. He looked at Fu Wenduo and grabbed the ball from his hand. The four people showed each other the small balls they received.

The number on Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng’s ball was 1, Fu Wenduo had 2 and Chen Shanshan had 3.

The other three players pulled out a ball and looked at the number. Then they immediately put it away, not letting anyone else see it. They soon found the interaction of the four people in Tang Mo’s team and their expressions sank. They understood that the four people were unexpectedly in a team.

Wang Xiaotian asked, “Do you see the numbers on the small ball?”

The young woman nodded. “Yes. What does the number mean?”

Wang Xiaotian smiled. “What does it mean? That number is your place in the food chain! What do you think it means?”

Everyone was stunned.

The young woman was still for a moment before hurriedly asking, “What do you mean by place in the food chain? Wait, this is determined by the lot we drew?”

“Yes, it is a draw.”

“How can it be done so casually?”

Wang Xiaotian replied in a reasonable manner, “I am casual!”

The young woman, “…”

Wang Xiaotian threw the gem box behind her and the pumpkin carriage swallowed it again. The beautiful woman clapped her hands. “Did you put the balls away? Don’t put it away. Twist the little balls and there is something inside.”

The group hadn’t found the hidden secret in the small balls.

Tang Mo pulled the small ball out of his pocket and twisted it. It really opened. This was actually a hollow ball with a metal card placed in the centre. Tang Mo was ready to take out this card when Wang Xiaotian suddenly cried out, “Don’t move!”

The group stopped all movements.

Wang Xiaotian laughed. “I advise you to wait for the game to officially begin. Then find a secluded place and quietly take out the card to look at he words. The words on this card are important clues and can’t be seen by others. Once seen by others…”

Wang Xiaotian stopped and didn’t continue.

Fu Wenduo looked at her and asked, “What will happen?”

Wang Xiaotian smiled. “You will die.”

A variety of expressions crossed the faces of the seven people. Wang Xiaotian looked at the reactions with satisfaction. She nodded in a pleased mood. Tang Mo mused for a moment before twisting the ball shut again. The other six were the same as him as they put their balls away.

Things had returned to the starting point.

What was the food chain game?

Wang Xiaotian sat in front of the pumpkin carriage, swinging her legs like an innocent maiden. “What is the food chain game? That is a really good question. The food chain is the funniest thing in our black tower world. Monsters like to eat the underground people but also like to eat humans. The underground people like to eat humans but also like to eat monsters. It is a really complicated thing. Those who are strong can eat others and those who are weak can only be eaten by others. That’s why there is the food chain game.”

Chen Shanshan stated, “However, the food chain in this game is decided by drawing lots.”

“Yes!” Wang Xiaotian jumped off the carriage and walked up to Chen Shanshan. “The strong must be able to eat others and the weak must be eaten by others. How pitiful are the weak?” As she spoke, Wang Xiaotian wiped the tears that didn’t exist from the corner of her eyes. She spoke sympathetic words but her expression was very disdainful.

She seemed to discover that her acting wasn’t good. The next second, Wang Xiaotian pulled a bottle of eye drops from her bag and placed them in her eyes. “Poor weaklings, they are weak and bullied by everyone. I, Wang Xiaotian, am sympathetic to the weak. Thus, in my food chain game, the food chain is decided by drawing lots. There is no death in this game. Just find the correct food chain order and you will win.”

It was that simple?

The young man who had never spoken couldn’t help opening his mouth. “Is there really no death in this game?”

Wang Xiaotian replied, “Of course, you aren’t allowed to kill casually. The sweet Wang Xiaotian hates killing people the most. Just find your complete food chain and you can clear the game. However…” Wang Xiaotian’s smile turned sinister. “Remember, higher up players can eat low level players. Low level players can’t eat players high on the food chain. The larger the number on the ball, the higher your place in the chain.”

Tang Mo grabbed the key point. “What happens if a low level player eats a high level player?”

Wang Xiaotian clapped her hands. “They will die! Eating food that doesn’t belong to you will naturally kill you through indigestion. By the way, eating those not in your food chain will also give you indigestion.” Wang Xiaotian counted the things they could do and the things they couldn’t do on her fingers. As she explained, the players ‘ faces grew uglier.

“First, what is eating? Eating is to eat you. For example, you…” Wang Xiaotian pointed to the young woman. “Suppose you want to eat him.” She pointed to Fu Wensheng. “He is indeed in your food and is your food. Then if you choose to eat him, you will eat the right food. You can take away his ball and his life is up to you. You can make him a slave or you can choose to throw him to the black tower as… hehe, as fertilizer.”

Fu Wensheng made a depressed expression. He really didn’t want to draw the number 1 ball!

Wang Xiaotian kept talking. “…Third, you don’t need to hide so carefully. The cards in the small ball can’t be seen by anyone but you will soon know the numbers on the small balls.”

Wang Xiaotian smiled and flicked her fingers. Then the numbers floated out of the players’ pockets, kissed each player on the cheek and was glued on!

No one expected this to happen. They tried so hard to hide their number only for it to appear on their faces!

…What was this?

The expressions of the group constantly changed.

Tang Mo reacted quickly and observed the numbers on everyone’s faces.

The number on Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng was a 1, Fu Wenduo and the young woman had a 2, Chen Shanshan and the middle-aged man had a 3 and the young man had a 4.

Wang Xiaotian touched her chin. “This actually makes you look a bit better…” Then she continued to talk about the points they should pay attention to in the food chain game. She was just prepared to say the fourth thing when a dull bell rang.

Wang Xiaotian’s expression changed and she hurriedly lifted the skirt of her dress. “No, the dance is starting! I have to go to the dance!”

The bell rang eight times in a row. Wang Xiaotian ran into the pumpkin carriage at a fast speed while the players watched her with startled expressions. Wang Xiaotian drove the pumpkin carriage and eagerly awaited the opening of the door. Then a weak female voice was heard behind the carriage, “Since the door hasn’t opened yet, I want to ask a question.”

Wang Xiaotian heard these words and turned to look at Chen Shanshan.

In the spacious and gorgeous room, the ordinary girl stared at her and asked, “There are seven players and three returnees…” The three returnees with gold numbers on their necks turned to look at Chen Shanshan.

Chen Shanshan’s expression didn’t change as she asked calmly, “Level 1, there are two players with the lowest level. Two out of seven people selected it and there are 21 selection methods. Yet none of the three returnees are in the lowest level of the food chain. The probability of this is 6/21, or 2/7. The probability is quite large. They are lucky not to get the lowest level but it isn’t impossible. The thing I want to know is if this is a true probability or if it is inevitable?”

Tang Mo looked at Chen Shanshan with surprise.

If someone else asked this question then Tang Mo would feel the other person was thinking too much. The probability of 2/7 that all returnees didn’t pick the lowest level wasn’t too low. However, Chen Shanshan had the super intelligent thinking ability. The fact that she could think of this meant it was very important.

The three returnees didn’t know Chen Shanshan’s ability and dismissed her as a child thinking too much.

The door opened but Wang Xiaotian sat in the pumpkin carriage and stared at the very ordinary girl without speaking a word.

The door was completely open but she didn’t leave.

Just as everyone thought she wouldn’t answer, Wang Xiaotian chuckled and replied, “You guessed right. It isn’t accidental, it is inevitable. They have Eve’s Reward and are honourable Eve candidates. As for you…” Wang Xiaotian sneered, her tone lively. “You are naturally the lowest level, hahaha!”

There was exaggerated laughter as the pumpkin carriage left the room.

The door slammed shut but Wang Xiaotian’s laughter passed through the door into everyone’s ears.

The expression of the three returnees became strange while Chen Shanshan silently thought about something.

Once Wang Xiaotian’s voice completely disappeared, a child’s voice was heard.

“Ding dong! The large multiplayer instance game ‘Cinderella’s Food Chain’ game has officially started. The rules of the game—”

“First, the food chain level is ranked by the player with the highest number in a food chain.”

“Second, the food chain must go from high to low. This can’t be reversed.”

“Third, eating the wrong food will make you die of food poisoning.”

“Fourth, violence is prohibited. A person who carries out violence is judged as a dangerous player and will be directly wiped out.”

“Fifth, each player has a clue card about their own food chain. This card can’t be see by anyone and the contents of the card can’t be told to others through any method. If the clue is revealed then the person who revealed it and the person who knows it will be directly wiped out.”

“Sixth, find your complete food chain to win. At the same time, all players in the food chain can win.”

“Cinderella feels that Eve must be at the top of the food chain.”

The black tower’s words stopped when there was a loud noise. The group turned towards the middle of the room. In the middle of the room, a strange virtual clock suddenly appeared, emitting a blue light. Tang Mo looked at the clock with surprise. After a moment of observation, he determined that it had nothing to do with the truth clock.

The clock showed 8 o’clock.

Everyone stared cautiously at the clock that suddenly appeared. They waited a long time and it didn’t change. It really seemed like an ordinary clock.

The black tower suddenly spoke. “Ding dong! Players can choose any room. Once entered, the room became the player’s private item and others aren’t allowed to enter. The players can view their card’s information in the room.”

It turned out that the seven doors in this room had this use!

The game started but not everyone knew how to play. The three returnees quickly stood together due to their identity. The middle-aged man hid behind the young man and woman, staring carefully at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

The young woman thought about it and went forward. “Let’s go and see what is written on our cards first. Should we meet in the middle in one hour?’

Everyone agreed to this suggestion.

Tang Mo casually chose a room and entered. He twisted the ball while thinking about the six rules announced by the black tower. He whispered, “Eve’s candidate…”

Even’s Reward.

Eve’s candidate…

What exactly was this?

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed.

There was a click and the ball opened. Tang Mo took out the card and turned it over. Once he saw the words on the card, Tang Mo’s eyes widened and he found it hard to hide his startled expression. The next moment, he frowned and almost threw the card away.

“The spicy chicken at the bottom of the food chain wants a clue? Bah, why don’t you go to heaven!”
