Chapter 310: 149: A life that was wrong from the very beginning_3
Parentheses?
Zhou Baiyu guessed that the parentheses must represent the protagonist of this game.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be "Fang Xuan" from the production team.
There was an entity that turned Fang Xuan's life into a game, using the images from Fang Xuan's inner perspective as the game's visuals.
Although the production team was Fang Xuan, Fang Xuan probably wasn't the true twisted source.
That source, of course, couldn't be the "God of Games and Entertainment" who had already become a rule.
But combining the information from Sister Lin, he was at least someone related to the "God of Games and Entertainment."
The "God of Games and Entertainment," as the creator of the "form of expression" for the entire war among the Precursors, Demons, the Corrupted, and the Polluted, may have been reprimanded for its boastfulness, but in essence, it was still a powerful new deity.
Thoroughly completing the game and exploring the story might yield help from the "new deity."
Zhou Baiyu knew that time hadn't stopped. Every extra minute he lingered put the other newcomers in more danger.
The choices before him were limited, and all were items that couldn't be altered.
To kill the final boss, he needed to choose one of these items.
A: A perfect score on an exam.
B: A beautifully wrapped gift box.
C: Headphones.
D: A letter of apology.
E: A piggy bank.
Although he had guessed the general idea of the story, it was, after all, just a rough idea.
The twisted school and teachers, the slightly lustful female teacher, the internet cafe that restored health, the comic book store that replenished skills, and the sweet potato stand that revived spirits.
These things indeed constructed the general outline of the story, but there were still many possible explanations.
Therefore, when the five choices were presented, Zhou Baiyu also struggled to decide, as it seemed that every option was viable.
If a pen could become a weapon, chalk could become ammunition, then these five objects should have other extended functions.
In student days, a perfect exam was a bargaining chip in conversations with parents. A beautifully wrapped gift box might earn friendship from classmates and help, perhaps a kind of powerful summoning tool.
When wearing headphones, the world belonged to oneself; if pushed further, maybe it was a device capable of forming strong defense.
The letter of apology was even more straightforward, and apologizing in writing also seemed to fit the impression "Fang Xuan" gave to Zhou Baiyu very well.
Perhaps the power extended from this item could assimilate the boss into one's own faction.
Each option here had its unique significance. This was the most difficult part to resolve.
And the hint was already very clear, choose one out of five, and if the wrong choice was made, the first level of the game would end prematurely.
Although from the beginning, Zhou Baiyu had guessed that this was supposed to be some student's "world."
But currently, everything in this world was like an abstract painting, open to too many interpretations.
So he had to think clearly about the significance of the final image he saw for the entire level.
But Zhou Baiyu didn't have much time; after the choices appeared, a fifteen-second countdown quickly began.
Zhou Baiyu stroked his chin:
"Fang Xuan, during his student days, stumbled upon an astonishing scene in some office. There must be a solution to this event."
Recalling the details of the comic book store and the various characteristics of the two trapped teammates, Zhou Baiyu worked out a darker storyline based on the clues at hand.
In that instant, he suddenly found the answer.
