ASMMIBV [13]

Actually, Cheng Youyou’s thoughts are far less complicated than what netizens think, and they’re not as profound as what the barrage assumes.

Right now, Cheng Youyou just wants to finish the game quickly, settle the wages for this period, and continue shopping. As for what skill cards she asks for, she just hopes that this episode of the show will be completed smoothly, without any unexpected delays or tricks.

Director Wang declared, “Card Exploration, countdown two hours, starts now!”

The competition began, and each of the six people was taken by the staff to different starting points.

After Ding Yaxin made sure that all the traps the system had set for Cheng Youyou were in place, she quickly dashed off to find the cards.

She’s tired and hungry now. She didn’t eat anything in the first game, and in the second game, she got so exhausted from cycling that her heart rate became irregular.

Ding Yaxin is physically exhausted, but she’s pushing herself to keep going and search for the cards with sheer willpower.

After lifting her blindfold, Cheng Youyou didn’t move. First, she observed her surroundings and then focused her attention on the staff.

“Hello, excuse me, could you please tell me if there’s a map for this maze?”

【You have to admit, Cheng Youyou is truly smart.】

【After having their blindfolds removed, most people’s first reaction is to search for cards, but Cheng Youyou is the one who first understands the overall situation.】

【Cheng Youyou’s thinking is very correct. Only by understanding the route can one conveniently formulate a plan.】

In this segment, Director Wang divided the camera into six parts so that the audience could simultaneously see the progress of all six guests.

Except for Cheng Youyou, everyone else is eagerly searching for the cards.

The staff replied to Cheng Youyou, “Not only do we have maps, but they also come in both electronic and paper versions.”

Cheng Youyou remained calm and composed. Compared to the others, she showed no sense of urgency whatsoever.

She chatted with the staff member as if she were talking to an old man at a street stall. “So what’s the difference between these two versions?”

The staff member replied, “The paper version displays the panoramic view, showing the corresponding area functions at different locations.”

Glancing around, Cheng Youyou realized that the game scene was actually set in the leisure area of the amusement park. This living area encompassed supermarkets, dining options, and various leisure facilities.

She then asked, “And what about this electronic version?”

The staff gave a mysterious smile and replied, “As for this electronic version…”

He deliberately paused, teasingly, “Well, that one is something special.”

【I knew it. After everyone took off their blindfolds, having a staff member conveniently placed nearby, there’s definitely something more to it.】

【Look at the demeanor of the staff member; it’s a safe bet that this electronic map is something remarkable.】

Cheng Youyou was also curious; she was filled with curiosity about everything unknown.

So she asked, “How remarkable is it?”

This segment was indeed meticulously designed by the production team, so at this moment, the six-grid screen converged into one screen, and the entire screen was filled with the dynamics of Cheng Youyou’s side.

The staff presented the electronic map to Cheng Youyou. “In addition to displaying the area functions like the paper version, the electronic map can also mark the real-time locations of each person.”

On that electronic map, netizens could clearly see red dots marked with different names moving around.

【What’s the point of marking specific locations?】

【Isn’t it an individual mission to find the cards?】

【This thing sounds useless; it’s probably just another trick by the production team to mess with the guests, right?】

【Wait a minute, I think I’ve figured it out…】

Cheng Youyou also realized, “There will be a card snatching later.”

The staff gave a smirk fitting of an antagonist.

Cheng Youyou understood; she confirmed that her guess was correct.

【Ah, that’s it! That’s what I guessed too.】

【Forget about all the rest, Cheng Youyou, hurry up and buy it.】

Then the staff showed Cheng Youyou the prices of the two maps.

Paper version: 10 yuan.

Electronic version: 1000 yuan.

Cheng Youyou began to contemplate.

【The difference is just too much.】

【But even if you can snatch the card, what’s the use?】

【Everyone receives the card promptly upon receiving it. Even if you manage to snatch a card, it’s just reducing someone else’s unused balance. Surely, you wouldn’t use it yourself either.】

At that moment, a notification sound came from the gaming area.

【Li Yiyun found a skill card with the function of Forced Execution.】

Cheng Youyou looked like she was just watching the excitement. “You guys are really going all out.”

In her previous life, she encountered an unexpected incident at the beginning of this segment, forcing her to exit the game. Therefore, she had no idea about the specific functions of these cards.

【Wait a minute, why am I not understanding what’s going on?】

【Cheng Youyou seems to have grasped it, but I’m not following the logic.】

【Did I miss something?】

At that moment, the notification sound rang out again.

【Zhao Mengran found a reduction card with a value of 1000 yuan.】

Cheng Youyou seemed indifferent, saying, “Let them fight among themselves.”

【Why did Cheng Youyou say that?】

【Cheng Youyou seems to understand, but I don’t get it yet.】

【What does this mean? Can someone explain it?】

The barrage was confused for a while, but after some time, someone finally understood the essence of the game.

【I get it, let me explain!!】

【Go ahead, hurry up.】

【That means, those guests who find the deduction cards will definitely not voluntarily use the card skills, but when they are caught by guests who have the mandatory execution cards, they can be forced to execute the deduction function by the latter!】

【I understand now, that’s terrifying.】

【The significance of the electronic map has been found! With the electronic map, guests with mandatory execution cards can target guests who have deduction cards, thus reducing others’ financial accumulation.】

【Ah, why does such a seemingly simple game have to be so mind-boggling?】

【But now it seems that only Cheng Youyou knows about the existence of the electronic map, and only Cheng Youyou has figured out how to play the game.】

【In this case, Cheng Youyou has obtained a god’s-eye view.】

【Oh my, Cheng Youyou is practically playing with a hand full of trump cards.】

To highlight Cheng Youyou’s superiority with the god’s eye view, the director quickly switched to the six-grid layout.

Indeed, except for Cheng Youyou, all the guests, including the top student Zhou Hao, had a bewildered expression upon hearing the broadcast just now.

Wang Wensheng scratched his head in confusion: “Seriously, why would the production team broadcast information about others finding cards to stimulate me?”

Zhou Hao: “Forced card? Is it a skill card? What does that mean?”

Zhou Hao’s thoughts always seem to be one step ahead. He stopped in his tracks, beginning to ponder the significance of the forced card in the game.

【Gosh, others really don’t know the rules of the game yet.】

【Of course not. Without asking the program NPC, even someone like Zhou Hao, a top student, would find it difficult to understand the situation under insufficient known conditions.】

Meanwhile, Ding Yaxin was searching for cards with her head down. These pieces of information actually stimulated her to search for cards faster.

In the barrage, discussions about Ding Yaxin have become less frequent. Besides bowing her head to search for things, Ding Yaxin really can’t contribute much in terms of variety show highlights.
