"Tell , is this acceptable..." Xie Antong casually ntioned "Sin" as if it were of no particular importance before directly addressing the ga system.
But Perfect Life, standing nearby, shifted his gaze over with a hint of surprise. He couldn't shake the feeling that everything Blank had said earlier was actually laying groundwork. While presenting two options on the surface, the ga rules would almost certainly choose to set its own regulations rather than delegate too much authority to players. All that elaborate setup seed designed for one purpose - to introduce the requirent that "each player proposes one condition." That was her true objective all along!
This realization made Perfect Life feel that sa dissonance again, reminiscent of when "Sin" had acted earlier. "Sin" had decisively abandoned his capture turn without knowing how others would choose. Similarly, why was this "Blank" fighting to secure this condition-proposing opportunity for all players without any apparent preparation? If she wanted sothing, couldn't she just propose her own condition? Wasn't she worried others' conditions might backfire on her plans?
...A very strange feeling indeed.
Perfect Life's fingers twitched in the air as if manipulating invisible threads. There were essentially two possibilities: First, she had already calculated all players' potential decisions and choices. Through this free condition format, she was actually exerting group influence to control everyone. But that seed impossibly difficult - soone with such ability wouldn't rank so low. Second, she was using this thod to conceal so hidden purpose. Everyone proposes one condition...
"Can you stop hesitating pointlessly? What are you thinking about that's making you so indecisive?" His thoughts were abruptly cut off by Blank's voice. After a montary pause, he realized she was addressing the ga system, not him.
[...Fine!] The ga's voice sounded almost gritted with teeth, as if suffering trendous humiliation. As the ga's rule-maker, after being forced to modify bugs and provide compensation, now it had to agree to participants' conditions too?? But due to certain reasons and its own limitations, it didn't want endless haggling. Seeing the current requests were manageable, it decided to agree.
[Each player may propose only one condition!] [Let be clear - think carefully about your conditions. You only get one chance.] [If clearly incompatible with the ga's requirents, it will be rejected with no opportunity to propose again!] The ga wasn't stupid - through their exchanges, it recognized this woman kept probing boundaries. So it imposed this restriction to prevent endless outrageous demands followed by gradual concessions.
But Xie Antong seed to have no such intention. Hearing the ga agree, she simply nodded without further discussion.
[Alright, start making your requests. Hurry up!] The ga's voice grew noticeably impatient.
Player Seven spoke first tentatively: "I request the ga cannot have death as a possibility."
[Ha! Of course not! This is Hell Mode! No deaths? Impossible! Request void!] The ga actually laughed, amused soone imdiately provided a perfect example of what not to do.
"Then... no ga conditions can require 'soone must die,'" Player Eight quickly followed up.
[Approved!] For these lower-ranked players, they wouldn't use Exit Coins, but competing against top players made survival their primary concern.
"Let propose sothing," Jiu Tian said. "I request the ga cannot be purely combat-based - it must include intellectual competition."
[Approved!] After speaking, Jiu Tian nodded slightly toward Xie Antong. His superiors had instructed him to assist "Blank" where possible. Proposing intellectual competition could slightly improve her chances, though Xie Antong seed oblivious to his gesture, preoccupied with other thoughts.
"I request players have so autonomy in choosing whether to collaborate," Chiyo Eine stated.
[Approved!]
"I request we can choose our opponents," Perfect Life said casually while glancing at the sleeping Lu "Sin." Truthfully, he cared little about this condition.
[Approved!]
"Heh." The Creator chuckled, continuously morphing an object in his right palm between different forms. "I've no specific request - just that this ga might make you uncomfortable."
[...] [aningless drivel. Too vague and subjective. Request wasted.] The ga mocked.
Finally, it was Xie Antong's turn. She lifted her head slowly and declared: [I request divided battlefields!] [Though a team competition, all participating players must be separated.]
An utterly baffling request. Most couldn't comprehend her aning - even the ga system froze for several seconds.
[Odd choice...but fine! Approved!] [Heh...with requests submitted, I've so ideas about the ga format now.] [Well then! We shall...]
"Hold on...sorry." A lazy voice suddenly interrupted the ga's enthusiastic announcent. Just as the ga was about to continue, it fell silent again. The voice belonged to Lu Ce, who had just awoken.
"Um, I was wondering...is there any chance I could also propose a condition?" Xie Antong lowered her head slightly, a faint smile curling beneath her helt.
Good. The true "variable" had arrived!
