No, no, no, what's with these two cards?
Shu's pupils quaked as he looked at the two cards in his hand that were filled with "targeting." A drop of cold sweat silently appeared on his forehead.
These cards were unique, right? After all, it's Truth or Dare. It would be boring if there were too many similar questions, right? So the cards in the others' hands must be other requests, or maybe they don't even have this kind of ghost thing... right?
That was the logic, but logic simply didn't exist in an abstract game like "Creation Mountain"!
And along with the initial hand and identity card being ready, Siegfried, as "God," placed a chess-like piece in front of everyone, and then loudly announced the start of the game.
"I want to recharge!" The moment the game was announced to start, Kiana's hand shot up, startling Shu, who was still studying the five cards in his hand.
At the same time, several other people raised their hands at the same time as Kiana. Everyone looked familiar with the process. Only Shu forcefully suppressed the disbelief in his heart.
There's even real-life recharging?
"Very good! Kiana, Theresa, Sussanna, Fréllei, and Sin Mal, a total of five players, have triggered the character trait—'Real-Life Recharger'! They have obtained a purchase threshold of 500!" Compared to "God," Siegfried was more like a passionate on-site commentator.
And with a wave of Siegfried's hand, a payment code was revealed to the public. Shu's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
"I want to buy 'Wealthy Dice'!" Kiana raised her phone without hesitation and scanned the payment code for a full 200 contribution points. The next moment, Shu felt his phone vibrate slightly in his pocket.
He subtly took out his phone and took a look, only to find that he had actually received 8 contribution points.
Shu "slapped" his phone onto his leg. Complicated emotions surged in his chest, making his thoughts chaotic, but then they were forcibly sorted out.
So... the recharging here was actually a kind of—bribe?
So they really were real-life rechargers!
"It's 'Wealthy Dice'! Kiana is going to use 'Wealthy Dice' to choose her starting point! Then the other few who also used 'Real-Life Recharger'..." Siegfried made a very exaggerated backbend, making Shu almost think he was in the wrong movie set.
"Wait!" But at this moment, Natasha suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "I choose to activate a skill card—"
"Is it a skill card? But everyone hasn't placed their pieces yet, so most skill cards can't be activated. Could it be..."
"I choose to use 'Wall of Heart'!" Natasha ignored Siegfried's question and confidently slapped a card in front of herself.
In an instant, the faces of the five people who had just raised their hands, except for Fréllei, changed dramatically. They looked at the "Wall of Heart" in disbelief.
"Did someone really draw this kind of card at the beginning?!" Sussanna covered her mouth with her open hand, her eyes filled with panic.
She also wanted to recharge like Kiana to get a good starting point!
"It's—'Wall of Heart'—!!"
When did you get that microphone, Siegfried?!
"This is terrible! As a super rare skill card with full targeting, I didn't expect someone to actually draw it before the 'relationship' was established, and I didn't expect someone to use it before birth!
"This is an indiscriminate attack! And player Natasha is also very cautious. After confirming that someone has recharged for 'Wealthy Dice,' this card will definitely take effect!
"According to the effect of 'Wall of Heart,' all players whose identity traits after birth are 'Wealthy,' 'Tragic,' 'Inheritance,' 'Unfortunate'... and 'Hatred' will not be able to actively approach each other!"
Did you just say a total of seventeen tags in one breath? Are they seventeen non-repeating tags!
Shu couldn't help but pick up his identity card again. He stared at the two words "Demon King" for a long time but couldn't see anything.
Oh, so he hadn't been "born" yet. Those tags were attached to his "birth."
...isn't this even worse?!
"Damn it! I wanted to form an alliance with Mei!" Kiana, who had already quickly completed the recharge, showed more regret than Shu at this moment. She punched the ground unwillingly, her eyes wide with rage as she stared at the "Wall of Heart."
"I forgot that the ARAHATO collaboration edition has this skill! My stinky old dad just mentioned it!"
Wait, was this something that was mentioned in the half hour just now?
"Come on! The judgment of the Wall of Heart!" Siegfried gave Kiana an apologetic look, then took out two red twenty-sided dice and handed them to Natasha to throw.
It's [13] and [7]!
"The judgment result is 13 and 7! So, before you all reach the age of 13, the Wall of Heart will not be broken. And after you all reach the age of 20, the Wall of Heart will impose the 'Completely Sealed' state on you!"
As he spoke, Siegfried actually took out several black hoods in public.
Shu saw Alvitr swallow hard. A rock-solid determination began to flash in her eyes.
"Alright... since you've chosen to play this way... then I won't pretend anymore!" Theresa's face changed again and again, then suddenly sank. With a tone of burning her bridges, she raised her hand and scanned Siegfried's payment code for 200.
"I choose—'Sibling Card,' bind with Cecilia!"
"You're bold enough to choose to be born a round later?!" Shu didn't want to care about the slight vibration of his phone anymore. He just wanted to know what this "Sibling Card" was.
Twins? No, that should be born at the same time, not a round later as Siegfried said...
"Stack—'Premature Birth'!" However, Theresa's output was not over. She actually scanned Siegfried for another 200! This time, not only Siegfried, but many people present also gasped.
"Principal Theresa... the debuff of this combination is too..." Bronya was silent for half a second, but still couldn't help but remind Theresa.
"Hmph, of course, I know." After spending a full 400 contribution points, Theresa proudly put her hands on her hips. "But this way, not only can I avoid the Wall of Heart, but I can also be born with Cecilia! I believe in Cecilia!"
"Thump—!" Another sound of hitting the floor. Shu turned his head in a daze, only to see bitter tears flowing from the corner of Kiana's eyes.
"Why didn't I think of this method!!"
...no, actually, I wouldn't even dare to think like this.
What the hell are these things ahhhh!!
