Chapter 276: Chapter 276: I Have a New Game

With a "gurgle," the box slid down the bear’s throat into its belly, and it patted its stomach contentedly.

By this time, Xu Huo had already grasped the Crimson Sword in his hand, slashing a cross through the air. Sword Qi severed both bear paws, and he, following closely after the Sword Qi, leaped onto the bear’s back, plunging his sword into its belly!

The bear, reacting with a ferocious look, lowered its head to bite him, but Xu Huo didn’t dodge. Instead, he shoved the Bull Shield into its mouth, and with a pull of his sword, he sliced open the bear’s stomach and dragged out steaming entrails!

The bear staggered a few steps forward before collapsing. Xu Huo jumped out from the shadows first, to give it ample space to lay out its corpse, then tore open the extracted stomach sac and pulled out a coin with his bare hands.

"The game is over," he said, flicking the coin towards the bear’s corpse. The moment the coin touched the body, the massive bear burst into a puppet, with a slit where its stomach was cut, and all the stuffing that had spilled onto the ground turned into cotton—there was a pile of little caps mixed in.

"Hee hee!" A puppet bear popped out of the tent, carrying the little caps to Xu Huo, "These are all yours now!"

"What a pity," a player whispered.

Normally, winning this game and getting two little caps would have been fine, but now, with so many extra caps, who knows how long it would take to collect the full set of fifteen.

Xu Huo, however, was calm, not angered by the bear’s trick. He said, "I’ve got the coin, shouldn’t the amusement park fulfill its promise now?"

The puppet bear waved its paw at him, "You, bend down, I’ll only tell you."

Xu Huo bent down to listen, and the puppet bear moved its mouth close to his ear.

The other players in the tent pricked up their ears but heard nothing. They exchanged glances, and two of them silently crept to the tent entrance.

Just then, a Stone Stick blocked their path, and when they looked up, they met Yan Jiayu’s Smiley Face, "Could you wait a bit longer before leaving?"

One of them changed expression, grabbing the Stone Stick to push her away but had not expected that this move could not budge Yan Jiayu at all, with the Stone Stick still firmly in place.

"Looking to die!" the person spoke as if about to turn hostile. Yan Jiayu’s smile vanished as she swung her stick, "I said wait a minute!"

The Stone Stick swung with a terrifying whoosh in the air. The two players’ expressions changed, and they quickly leaped back to their companions, saying, "We lost the game, why can’t we leave? Are you planning to kill us to silence us?"

"You’re so unreasonable!" Yan Jiayu’s eyes widened slightly, "I only asked you to wait, it was you who wanted to kill me!"

The previous aggressor’s face turned sour, "Cut the crap, do you really think the two of you can stop so many of us? Don’t bite off more than you can chew!"

"Don’t be in such a hurry," Xu Huo interjected at that moment, "I didn’t say I’m unwilling to share this information. There’s no need for this."

The players looked at him in surprise, not quite believing him.

Xu Huo said with a smile, "Since we’re all stuck in this dungeon and can’t get out, we’re friends, aren’t we? Of course, I’d share good things with friends."

After finishing, he turned back to the puppet bear, "I have a fun game in mind, do you want to be the referee? I’m willing to hire you with half a jar of sugar."

"I do! I do!" the puppet bear leaped up, "I love being a referee!"

"But if it’s a game, we must play fairly and follow the rules. What if someone breaks the game rules?" Xu Huo asked.

"No one can break the game rules in the amusement park," the stuffed bear said with conviction. "Those who break the rules are baddies, and baddies must be punished!"

"Very good." Xu Huo patted its head and then said, "Since it’s a game, the more, the merrier, right? Why don’t you invite some more friends to play? I’ll give out three candies for each, okay?"

The stuffed bear agreed cheerfully.

"What’s he up to?" said a player who Yan Jiayu had turned back, looking bewildered.

"Selling information," another player, a woman with attractive short hair and a stern face, said. "This guy has some tricks up his sleeve. It’s too late to get the information behind the other players’ backs; we need to buy it before other players come after getting wind of it."

Xu Huo stepped out of the tent, and Jin Zhao and Peng Ru hurried over to greet him, but they stopped in their tracks when they saw the stuffed bear dragging a body out behind it.

"What happened?" Jin Zhao asked.

Xu Huo gestured with his hand for them to wait, and after the stuffed bear had called over all its stuffed friends nearby the camp, he whispered a few words to Yan Jiayu. Then, Yan Jiayu cleared her throat and announced to the players who had just gathered, "Anyone who wants to know the location of the fifth random trigger point in the Q&A game can line up here!"

"A thousand White Notes for the address plus a little hat!"

"The fifth random location?" Some of the onlooking players said skeptically, "Where did you get this information? The locations for the Q&A game are supposed to be random. How could you possibly know in advance?"

"Of course, players can’t predict it, but the stuffed animals do," Xu Huo took over the conversation, pointing to the stuffed bear beside him hugging a jar of candy, "My information comes from the mouths of the stuffed animals. If you can’t trust the words of a stuffed animal, where else will you find the fifth location?"

"These people can vouch as witnesses," he said, looking toward the few who had just come out of the tent.

The woman player didn’t respond to the others’ glances; instead, she questioned Xu Huo, "How can you guarantee you’re selling genuine information?"

"The stuffed animals serve as referees for this trading game. I proposed a trade of information, obviously without breaking the game rules," Xu Huo replied. "Breaking the game rules would end up like this."

He was referring to the body that had been dragged out.

"Even children know not to break the rules of the game," said the stuffed bear, chewing on candy.

The players’ expressions varied, but seeing so many dolls around, they dared not act recklessly. Killing a stuffed animal for a pile of hats would be trivial, but attacking the stuffed animals outside of game time could very likely result in being thrown out of the amusement park and having to start over.

"I don’t want the little hat, what’s the price?" a dark-skinned player stepped forward and asked.

"Three thousand," Xu Huo surveyed the crowd. "Those interested can line up now. I’ll remind you in advance, the location of the random Q&A is not fixed. If you miss the timing, you won’t know when it will appear next."

Having said that, he and the stuffed bear, along with a few other dolls, returned to the tent.

The first buyer was the player who had asked for the price. Once there was a lead, the rest found it easier to follow. Most people didn’t mind spending the few thousand White Notes, so they paid directly and took the information. Hence, Xu Huo did not spend many little hats.

Of course, some people wanted to know how exactly Xu Huo had gotten the information from the mouths of the stuffed animals, but the few players who were in the tent at the time had already bought the information and left early. Even if they were to spread the word, compared to taking another gamble in the game, it was more convenient to buy what was readily available since the information was time-limited. A few thousand White Notes for a one-time deal.
