Chapter 395: Ancient God Residue, Rock-Paper-Scissors Game
Broken Paradise is a paradise in ruins.
It is not paradise.
The ancient gods and outer gods of the past have all been killed, lying in a desolate abyss. Some of them also mix into fragments of paradise.
These remaining memories are far from being called gods, but rather residues of gods. However, even as residues, they are enough to threaten lives of ordinary people.
Just like the trials encountered before the broken paradise, these residues of ancient gods and outer gods will also take root and pull in living beings to play games.
If Bai Wei turns and leaves, the other side won’t have any way to stop him.
When he opens his mouth to respond, it means he is being pulled into this game.
He doesn’t need his exact promise, just a simple answer, and according to the rules, he must participate.
The minimum requirement for this game is two people, so it’s Bai Wei’s turn to play with the young person from the Three-Eyed Clan.
The other person had a sorry expression on their face and said, "I didn’t want it either, but if I don’t complete the game, I can’t leave. I’m really sorry…"
Bai Wei didn’t pay any attention to this person. He didn’t want to waste a word on someone like this. Even the best places have insects. They only care about their own benefits. Pretending to apologize at this time would only make people more disgusted and disgusted.
"What are the rules? What game do you want us to play?" Bai Wei asked residue.
It appeared as a black and red sphere with eyes and a mouth, floating in the air.
"I like how quickly you accepted," the ancient god residue grinned. Because the smile was exaggerated, its mouth reached to its ears, taking up a third of the size of the sphere. It continued, "The rules are actually quite simple… Only one of you can leave, the other has to stay and become my food."
The three-eyed young man’s face changed drastically and accused, "You didn’t say that before!"
"Of course I was tricking you, kid. Otherwise, why would you be willing to bring someone else to participate in my game?"
"It’s so ridiculous, I choose to quit!"
"Fine, then I’ll eat you and wait for the next person who’s willing to play the game." The ancient god residue suddenly approached, mouth wide open, and stared at the young man while licking its tongue. "Are you sure you want to quit?"
"I…" The young man with three eyes gritted his teeth and snorted.
"We could also choose to be passive in the game and just wait like this." Bai Wei said casually, "Until you lose patience."
"Then I’ll just eat both of you!" The ancient god residue stared at Bai Wei.
"Then you give it a try." Bai Wei crossed his arms and said dismissively, "Come on, bite me and see."
"You…" The face of the ancient god residue suddenly contorted.
"Not coming?" Bai Wei continued to press, "Come on, take a bite at me?"
The ancient god residue angrily recoiled half a step.
"In the Broken Paradise, there is order. If you have the ability to devour others, you wouldn’t need to establish these so-called rules. In the end, you’re just residue, and not the strongest residue. You can’t freely disregard the rules here and move as you please." Bai Wei sneered, "As long as I don’t cooperate in your game, you can’t do anything. You can only wait."
The ancient god residue looked like an angry steam-powered locomotive from a comic book, spewing black and red smoke from its head.
"You’re right, but I can afford it. Can you afford it?" roared the ancient god residue.
"You’ve only caught the two of us for now, but there will be more. As long as we continue to refuse to play your game, you can only watch them walk away," Bai Wei sneered. "Do you think I have the courage for that?"
He revealed two fragments of courage feathers, wavering them in front of the ancient god residue.
With his arms crossed, Bai Wei leaned back in a tactical stance. "Let me tell you, I’m not getting too inflated right now!"
Ancient god residue:"…"
Damn, it’s courage feathers. No wonder this person isn’t scared at all!
"What do you want?" the ancient god residue became somewhat annoyed.
Bai Wei could tell that this ancient god wasn’t very smart, even when it was alive it must have been a foolish and disgraceful person, definitely not respectable.
"It’s simple, I don’t think two people playing a game is enough," Bai Wei said. "Why don’t you join us?"
The ancient god residue widened its eyes in an instant and asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Wei repeated, "Why don’t you join us too? If I win against you, let me go. Otherwise, even if I win against him, you might not let me go if you eat him… Can’t you see this obvious loophole? You just want to keep a living person as bait."
The ancient god residue thought for a moment and agreed, saying, "Alright."
It smirked with confidence and said, "You can’t defeat me anyway… As long as I win, I can eat both of you."
The young person from the Three-Eyed Clan asked, "Since you already have two people, can I leave?"
The ancient god residue grinned cruelly and replied, "Of course not! I never keep my promises with fools."
The young person’s face turned pale.
Bai Wei asked, "So, what are the rules?"
The ancient god residue answered, "Rock-paper-scissors."
"Surprisingly simple rules," squinted Bai Wei, "Very well… let’s do it."
The three-eyed young man’s expression improved, he glanced at Bai Wei and asked, "But how do we determine the winner when there are three of us?"
The ancient god residue said, "If I win against both of you, I get to eat you both. If both of you win against me, you can leave," it added with a threatening tone, "However, only one person can leave…! In case of a tie, we play again. The winner gets to leave! The loser stays!"
Bai Wei pondered, "What if I win against you, you win against him, and he wins against me?"
The ancient god residue rudely replied, "I’ll eat him!"
Bai Wei calmly stated, "Call it a draw."
"Why should we?"
"Here’s a chance for you to win everything."
"…Okay!" the greedy ancient god residue agreed eagerly. It was confident it wouldn’t lose. "Let’s get ready!"
The three people stood in different positions and started preparing to play rock-paper-scissors.
None of them expected that in this simple game of rock-paper-scissors, their lives would be at stake.
Bai Wei remained calm, even without the courage of a feather. He was not afraid as he glanced at the eager ancient god residue, flexing its fists.
The young man with three eyes looked left and right, hesitating and uncertain. Then he made a decision, his third eye fixated on Bai Wei.
"Scissors…rock…"
"Paper!"
The results of the first round of rock-paper-scissors were in: the ancient god residue played rock, Bai Wei played paper, and the Three-Eyed Clan played scissors.
The ancient god residue shouted loudly, "This is impossible! You’re cheating!"
Bai Wei frowned slightly and glanced at the young man with three eyes.
The young man with three eyes sighed with relief, then looked up and apologized, "Sorry, I got nervous. I was going to make a move."
"Start the second round quickly!" the ancient god residue roared angrily.
The result of the second round of rock-paper-scissors came out. The ancient god residue played paper, Bai Wei played scissors, and the Three-Eyed Clan played rock.
It was another round of tie.
The ancient god residue couldn’t help but change the rules, "If we still get the same result, I won’t accept another tie! I will eat the person who loses to me!"
Bai Wei didn’t object, he just said, "Okay, let’s continue."
The young man with three eyes nodded and said, "Let’s continue."
The third round began, the angry ancient god residue punched, unconsciously producing a stone. Bai Wei played paper, and the Three-Eyed Clan also played paper.
They both won.
The face of the ancient god residue looked terrible. "You, you…"
Bai Wei said, "I’m willing to accept the gamble. That’s the rule. If you set the rule, you must follow it. Otherwise…"
The ancient god residue suppressed its angry roar and grinned instead. "Isn’t there still two more rounds? You have to play rock-paper-scissors with each other again. Whoever wins can leave, and the one remaining must defeat me again. Otherwise, they will become my delicious meal."
It seemed to appreciate the two people fighting each other, and it had wanted it to be this way from the beginning. As long as the two of them played rock-paper-scissors, one of them would definitely lose.
Bai Wei looked at the young man with three eyes, who didn’t hesitate but calmly said, "I’m ready anytime."
Bai Wei raised his hand. "Then let’s begin."
The young man with three eyes nodded, and his third eye stared at the opponent’s wrist, observing the muscle movement… He couldn’t be wrong, the opponent was going to play stone!
He decided to go out.
The two of them played rock-paper-scissors, but it was just a brief moment.
The confident three-eyed young man believed that he had won and would be able to escape, but the outcome turned his confident expression pale.
Bai Wei chose scissors.
"You lost," said Bai Wei. As soon as he finished speaking, the power that had bound Bai Wei also disappeared.
The three-eyed young man covered his face and murmured, "How could this happen? I couldn’t have misjudged it. I didn’t misjudge it the first two times!"
Bai Wei calmly said, "Why did you think I wasn’t intentionally slowing down for you to see?"
"Were you plotting against me?!" distorted the expression of the three-eyed young man.
"Yes," replied Bai Wei lazily, stretching his arms. "You were foolish and you deserved it."
