It must be said, this equipnt was indeed all useful. After continuously using the 'gas station' four tis, Fu Chen could clearly feel his car pen had beco much lighter.
Plus, he had already rested for a while and his stamina had sowhat recovered, so now he felt even more confident.
Everyone voted to choose the order of the two challenges. As expected, more players still chose to do 'track in the picture' first.
Obviously, from Chen Ran's previous challenge, corporal punishnt-type punishnts would severely affect players' performance in 'track in the picture.'
If the previous round had really been accepting punishnt first then challenging, then given Chen Ran's physical condition having just suffered whipping, she would probably have had great difficulty passing 'track in the picture.'
The ga began.
Fu Chen could clearly feel the car pen in his hand was lighter and more obedient. The first map's difficulty wasn't much anymore and he passed very simply.
Shen Xing and Jiao Hai also smoothly passed the first map.
However, among the three players challenging the second map, only Chen Ran passed. Peng Xinyuan and Liu Jie both failed to pass.
aning all five players except Chen Ran had returned to the sa starting line.
Peng Xinyuan was clearly sowhat anxious.
Obviously, this result was relatively acceptable for Liu Jie because she received very little funds this round, and her car pen wasn't very good to begin with, so not passing was normal.
But Peng Xinyuan, despite having fairly good car pen and funds, had fallen behind Chen Ran.
According to the ga chanism, players could complete at most one map per round with no catch-up chanism, so falling behind once most likely ant forever falling behind.
However, his ntality still seed better than Jiao Hai's. At least he hadn't completely broken down.
Fu Chen glanced from afar at the map on Peng Xinyuan's table. As expected, each map's difficulty substantially increased.
The first map's structure was very simple, the road relatively wide, and the curves also not complex, so Liu Jie only used the repair shop to modify the car pen once and smoothly passed.
But the second map's difficulty suddenly increased. There were more and harder curves, the structure was more complex, and it even felt like the road width had narrowed sowhat.
Therefore, even though Peng Xinyuan and Liu Jie had already modified their car pens several tis, they still fell short.
Each subsequent map would obviously be in a state of substantially increased difficulty.
Everyone cald their emotions, then each ca to the hexagonal platform again, preparing to complete 'exclusive punishnt.'
"Click" sounds kept ringing. The players' head chanisms locked, covering their vision.
When the chanisms opened, the player who would endure punishnt this ti was also determined: Shen Xing.
With a "bang," another door opened. Inside was pitch black.
Shen Xing looked much more flustered than Chen Ran. She involuntarily trembled, unable to make a decision for a mont.
The other players also said nothing.
Because they only needed to follow the ga procedure and select the player who needed to endure 'exclusive punishnt.' As for whether this player entered the room, they didn't care at all.
After all, only this player would suffer instant death penalty themselves.
Suddenly, Fu Chen realized sothing and hurriedly spoke up, "Wait, I suddenly figured out sothing very important.
"These rooms actually allow multiple players to enter!
"Think about it carefully. The previous room actually had six tables and chairs inside!
"We instinctively treated 'choosing a seat' as a type of ga strategy, but could there be another possibility: this was to ensure all entering players could participate in the ga?
"Moreover, after Chen Ran went in, a little ti passed before the room door closed.
"That ans if multiple players enter the room, each person pressing the button can increase the tir, and the ga's difficulty would substantially decrease!
"The ga rules never said these rooms could only be entered by one person, so this is actually a chanism encouraging us to cooperate!"
Upon these words, the players' expressions varied.
Obviously, most players hadn't noticed this point before, or possibly noticed but deliberately didn't say.
But now Fu Chen's words provided everyone with a new option: enter the room together to share punishnt.
A trace of hope showed in Shen Xing's eyes. She looked expectantly at the other players, but everyone lowered their heads in silence.
Fu Chen also didn't mind, "No problem. This ti I'll accompany you in.
"If my guess is correct, I hope more people will join next ti."
Ti was running out. Fu Chen and Shen Xing walked toward the room door together.
Among the remaining four players, Chen Ran had already endured punishnt alone, so there was no reason to enter others' rooms.
Because sharing for others was so that others would also share when oneself suffered punishnt.
Among the remaining three, Jiao Hai had absolutely no intention of entering, while Peng Xinyuan and Liu Jie each hesitated for a while. Ultimately, Peng Xinyuan quickly caught up and entered before the room door closed.
"Let's be clear first. When I suffer punishnt, you two also have to co in, otherwise I'm not done with you."
Peng Xinyuan obviously couldn't think of a good threatening thod. These words sounded sowhat light.
Fu Chen happily nodded, "No problem, rest assured!"
Everyone looked around at the room's layout but unexpectedly found it completely empty with nothing there.
[Punishnt: Blockage]
[Players entering the room will have blocked the equipnt with 'most current uses' and 'most current available funds.']
[Blocked for a total of 3 rounds, shared equally by players entering the room.]
[When 13 people enter the room, round up. When 45 people enter the room, not blocked. When 6 people enter the room, all players will receive an additional 10,000 minutes of visa ti reward.]
[Current room number is 3 people. Each player will be blocked for 1 round.]
With a "bang," the door opened again.
The three players walked out of the room again, sowhat puzzled.
Obviously, the actual punishnt each person encountered would vary greatly. This room didn't have a specific ga format. Just entering once was considered completion.
Fu Chen felt sowhat regretful, "What a pity. If one more person had entered, none would have been blocked.
"However, this also verifies the previous speculation. The more players enter the room, the lower the ga's difficulty.
"We can all share this way afterward. I'll state my position first. From now on, I'll enter the room to help for every round's exclusive punishnt."
Jiao Hai frowned, "Although the current two rooms are better with more players entering, how can you be sure it will be the sa afterward?
"Even if it's true, would you really be so kind-hearted?
"Also, even if we really make such an agreent, players who enter rooms later suffer more.
"Because those who already entered rooms and accepted punishnt are safe. What reason is there to share for others? What if individual rooms have life-threatening danger?"
As he spoke, he seed to intentionally or unintentionally glance at Chen Ran.
Fu Chen couldn't think of a good response either and could only say, "I can guarantee I'll enter every ti.
"If possible, I'm also willing to open punishnt last. That way, if I don't enter the room in any previous round, you can all choose not to help anymore."
Jiao Hai scoffed, "Ha, anyway the order of opening exclusive punishnt is random. No one can control it, which is why you can say this."
Just then, Chen Ran, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Actually, there's a way."
