Chapter 145
2282L: You have to choose who to use this trick on, right? Look, Bai Xuechao never used it on Brother Hao.
2283L: Brother Hao... Are you referring to "you can choose whatever you want"? (Looking at the sky speechlessly)
He was just short of saying, "If you all don't agree, I can jump down myself."
2284L: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Brother Hao has a super strong sense of relaxation.
2285L: This trick would definitely not work on Brother Hao. Let's take the birthday example the OP used.
If it were Brother Hao's personality, he would definitely tell everyone he meets in the morning, "It's my birthday today," or "It's my birthday today." It would be impossible to pretend to forget.
2286L: The person above is right, that's something Brother Hao would do, hhh.
2287L: So this trick is most effective on Ling Feng Maomao.
2288L: And we're back to the original question, did Xuexue do this on purpose?
2289L: I agree with LZ's guess, I feel like Bai Xuechao used such a trick on Ling Feng with a specific purpose.
2290L: What's the use of him trying to gain Ling Feng's favorability?
2291L: He likes Ling Feng. (Random answer)
2292L: Hahahaha, what nonsense are you talking about! (Grabbing collar)
2293L: Could it be that Bai Xuechao knew Ling Feng's identity long ago and deliberately got on good terms with him? (Pushing glasses)
2294L: My dear upstairs, are you overthinking things? (Laughing and crying)
Look at Xuexue's attitude at the beginning, does it look like he's deliberately trying to get on good terms with Ling Feng?
2295L: Getting on good terms? In this chapter, Ling Feng was just short of pointing at Bai Xuechao's nose and saying, "I don't like you, I can't get along with you," hahaha.
2296L: Maybe he was just trying to gain some favorability on the side =.=
...
2306L[OP]: Still talking about Bai Xuechao, he went easy when answering the questions.
[The 12th question, Bai Xuechao leaning against the hemp rope with a bored expression.jpg][Bai Xuechao said: I won't go easy on you guys anymore.jpg]
If the first picture was just Ling Feng's feeling and guess, then the second picture can be said to be a confirmation.
As for why he went easy, I have two guesses.
The first one is still a continuation of the previous analysis, where I said that Bai Xuechao has self-destructive tendencies.
He went easy to increase the excitement of the game. No matter who answered correctly, Brother Hao or Ling Feng, he had to pull off a rope, and he might just pull off the system rope.
Some people might ask: Then why didn't he just pull off a bunch of ropes at the beginning of the game like before?
First of all, that was at the beginning of the game. Now Bai Xuechao is playing the game. Haven't you noticed that Bai Xuechao is abiding by the rules and playing seriously? He even improved the rules before the game (.) Secondly, if he pulled off all the ropes at once, what would be the point of playing? The game would just end directly.
The second guess is that he was helping Brother Hao and Ling Feng (or secretly helping them), and had a friendly attitude towards them.
He deliberately didn't answer the questions, giving the opportunity to Brother Hao and Ling Feng. I don't need to say what the benefits of answering correctly are, right? But this alone is not enough, it has to be combined with other things.
When both Brother Hao and Ling Feng were hanging, or as you guys jokingly call it, "left and right guardians" or "Bai Xuechao and his two useless men."
Bai Xuechao called the system and asked a series of questions.
But what he asked was also very important to Brother Hao and Ling Feng.
Let's sort out the answers to the questions Bai Xuechao asked.
After the game ends, players must redeem their own rewards before they can redeem others'.
Because Ling Feng has more game coins than Brother Hao, this is telling Ling Feng that he cannot choose to give up on himself first to help Brother Hao redeem something.
With Ling Feng's personality, it's very likely that he would do such a thing. Previous chapters of the manga have revealed that Ling Feng is very pessimistic, and he is prepared to lose everything he redeems.
Moreover, the system's answer also gave Brother Hao and Ling Feng some peace of mind.
The system said that each player has priority in redeeming their own things, and they can only redeem others' things after everyone has finished redeeming their own.
This way, Bai Xuechao's danger level can be reduced a little, but only a little. The system's answer eliminated the possibility of Bai Xuechao redeeming everything in the first go, but with more game coins, he can still wait for others to fail to redeem and then redeem them himself.
Players who withdraw will return to the spectator area and keep the game coins they have.
This seems to be a hint to Brother Hao and Ling Feng: if you can't hold on, choose to withdraw from the game, and you can keep all the game coins you have.
It can be said that Bai Xuechao pointed out a "safe but limited" path for them, where they couldn't earn more game coins.
But this can be used as a bottom line, at least all the game coins they have obtained can be kept, unlike Gong Ting who fell and all his game coins returned to the prize pool.
Now that there is a bottom line, what if Ling Feng can't help Brother Hao redeem? Eh, the answer to the third question is here. (Originally, the third question was about the spectator area, which I omitted.)
After the game, players can transfer game coins to each other.
You don't need me to tell you what this is for, right? (Kitty Eating Corn, Showing Teeth.jpg)
When Bai Xuechao asked these questions, it was almost as if he was telling Brother Hao and Ling Feng what to do.
Later, when Bai Xuechao said "Oh," I felt that his expression seemed to indicate he wanted to ask something else, with a hint of thought in it, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Brother Hao.
Otherwise, I would have really wanted to know what other questions he could have asked. (Touching chin and pondering)
By the way, I think it's just as Brother Hao said, Bai Xuechao also meant to delay time and let them hang for a while longer. (Doge emoji)
Finally, a summary: there are two possibilities for why Bai Xuechao went easy on the questions, and I'm inclined to think that both are possible.
2307L: What is Axue's attitude towards the protagonist group? (Curious)
2308L: Replying to the one above, it feels very complicated, he's suppressing them on one hand and helping them on the other...
2309L: After reading the OP's analysis, I just want to say, this is what's great about the simulated world, it can analyze a character's actions so logically, unlike traditional manga where the author just makes up the plot, some plots are very likely just the author going crazy (.)
2310L: I suspect the one above is pointing at someone, but I have no evidence. (Doge emoji)
2311L: Are you talking about the one next door who pilots a corpse Gundam? (Softly)
2312L: The one above, please stop, ahhh! It's a plot I had finally managed to forget! (Faints)
2313L: No-prize quiz, let's guess what question wifey would have continued to ask if Brother Hao hadn't interrupted?
2314L: Xue: Can game coins be loaned out?
2315L: Good heavens, did the one above miss the word "high-interest"? (Funny)
2316L: Is there a limit to the items and amount that can be redeemed? (Sorry, I seem to be a devil)
2317L: Replying to 2315, you know what I mean. (Doge emoji)
2318L: Can game coins be used to form an employment relationship? (Doge emoji)
2319L: The one above, just ask directly if game coins can be used to buy slaves. (Dead-fish eyes)
2320L: My goodness, 2316 means they want Brother Hao to redeem until he doesn't even have his underwear left. (Wiping sweat)
2321L: Hehe, 2319 understands me. (Obediently)
...
2339L[OP]: Now let's talk about the two times Bai Xuechao smiled. (Huh, why are we talking about Bai Xuechao again?)
Brother Hao, in a moment of desperation, didn't look at the question and just answered blindly, saying that he could win by luck. Bai Xuechao smiled twice. For those who can't remember, I've posted the screenshots here. [Manga screenshot.jpg]
Some people think that with Bai Xuechao's IQ, he should have been able to think of this method, but I think that it's one thing for a smart person to be able to think of it, and another thing for them not to have thought of it.
I believe that Bai Xuechao didn't think about how Brother Hao could break the deadlock, just like a winner wouldn't think about how a loser could defeat him to win. Moreover, if Bai Xuechao had anticipated this method in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to smile. He would have just leaned against the hemp rope with a bored expression like before, because he already knew the outcome, and there was no novelty or change.
The first time he laughed, that light chuckle, it should have been a bit of a surprise, thinking that Brother Hao's method was a bit interesting, and not expecting Brother Hao to think of it.
The second time he laughed, it should have been because he felt that the game had become exciting and interesting again, and he would take a more serious attitude. This is seen in conjunction with the later plot. Not only did he not go easy later, but he also went all out (his speed kept increasing). If he had been in his previous state, he would have just not gone easy.
So he "declared war" on Brother Hao, saying, let's see who is faster.
Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that there is a sense of destiny between Brother Hao and Bai Xuechao.
What, I'm not shipping a CP! (Horrified)
They have the feeling of a fated rivalry in a traditional shonen manga. They are destined to be rivals, destined to be entangled forever.
Bai Xuechao appeared in the last arc, and in this arc, they had their first confrontation. I believe they will have many more in the future.
In retrospect, all their settings correspond to each other.
Brother Hao is strong and healthy, it's officially stated that his body is strengthened to a high degree every time he levels up; Bai Xuechao is physically frail, even after leveling up so many times, his strength enhancement is flawed, but he is very fast.
Although Brother Hao's attribute is naturally black-bellied, he is usually a reckless person in his actions (in a very small voice); Bai Xuechao is smart, so intelligent that he is almost demonic, the opposite of Brother Hao (hey).
Brother Hao's special ability is nullification, a natural counter to all special abilities; Bai Xuechao has dual special abilities of water and fire, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the only dual special ability user in this work, naturally having more special abilities than others.
Brother Hao hasn't been a special ability user for a long time and is only level 4; Bai Xuechao is a level 7 special ability user, which is just outside the range that Brother Hao can currently nullify.
I even suspect that when Brother Hao levels up again and can nullify Bai Xuechao, Bai Xuechao will also level up =.=
There's also the identity setting, Brother Hao is a member of the SAIDB, and Bai Xuechao is an underground special ability user.
Finally, adding the fact that Bai Xuechao also obtained 20% of Brother Hao's personality, if they're not fated rivals, I'll crawl behind my family's robot vacuum cleaner!
A prediction: Brother Hao and Bai Xuechao will have various confrontations, either directly or indirectly, in the coming arcs, possibly competing for special ability energy crystals. In the beginning, Bai Xuechao might have the upper hand, but later, it will definitely be Brother Hao who comes from behind, and in the end, it will definitely be Brother Hao who wins! (Peace sign)
2340L: OP, just admit it, most of this building is analyzing Bai Xuechao, you're actually a fan of Axue. (Doge emoji)
2342L: Didn't the OP climb the wall for five seconds when wifey "calculated people's hearts"? Just climb. (Please)
2343L: Xuexue has a "heh, you've caught my interest" kind of feeling, haha.
2344L: I also feel that Brother Hao and wifey are like fated rivals!
