Chapter 67
Tia circled behind one human-sized cage and said, "This game is called Save the Monkey King! In this game, each man will be put into this cage, and they will be given a lot of fruit."
"The monkeys in this forest are very hungry, and they will start circling around these cages, wanting to get their hands on those delicious fruits," Tia said, surprised and gasping with her eyes bulging out. "They will start stealing from the cages, and they might even get violent and start attacking the men to get their hands on the fruits!"
"So, you, men, must defend all the fruits in your cage."
"Wouldn’t that mean we would get hurt? The monkeys might scratch us," Russel asked.
"Yep, that’s why you need to pray that your partner can get you out of the cage as soon as possible!" Tia replied. "While the men are inside the cage, the women will be escorted to three different locations, where they are given a map to find the key to unlocking their kings!"
"So the first one to free their king wins, right?" Madeline asked.
"Not quite; the winning condition is the number of fruits saved by your man," Tia said. "Freeing your man as fast as possible will help because your man won’t get attacked by the monkeys anymore. But if he fails to protect anything, there’s no point in being the first."
Madeline understood the game immediately.
So, this was still a team game. The man had to fight the monkeys, while the woman had to save them. While freeing them as soon as possible might help, it might benefit her better if she manipulated the other girls instead.
’Such as making sure they can’t even find their key to ensure my victory,’ Madeline thought while glancing at Bertha, who had given her a side glance the whole time.
