Day of Imprisonment

A qualified scene administrator must possess excellent mental fortitude, capable of quickly regaining composure even in highly unusual circumstances.

Qiu Kui's gaze lingered on Luo Xi for three seconds before immediately shifting away.

She turned, feigning to retrieve some contract documents from the table behind her, but in reality, she was controlling her expression.

So, by the time she turned back, everything seemed normal.

Her reaction was swift, but someone still noticed.

“Strange, the administrator's reaction this time is very odd. What did she see just now? Or rather, who did she see?” An Zhiyan possessed keen observational skills; she had just caught the unusual look on the administrator Qiu Kui's face.

However, due to the angle and timing, she didn't know who Qiu Kui was looking at then.

Unlike An Zhiyan, Luo Xi was well aware that the administrator named Qiu Kui was looking at him.

“She seems to recognize me…” Luo Xi stared at her: “So, I indeed came here on a certain loop day, and those books should have been bought by me.”

“Everyone, I've just tallied the numbers, and this time, there are a total of eleven players. But I'm sorry to say that my level scene requires exactly an even number of players to enter, so one of you probably won't be able to participate.”

As she said this, Qiu Kui had already decided who that person would be.

But before she could finish speaking, someone ran over.

It was a fatty, panting heavily, looking completely exhausted.

“Huff, huff~” After a few deep breaths, the fatty wiped his sweat: “Finally made it.”

“Looks like there are exactly twelve people.” One of the Reminiscers said.

“Heh~” Qiu Kui let out an inexplicable cold laugh, seemingly very dissatisfied but unable to do anything about it.

“Since the number of people meets the rules, then let's begin. Let me state in advance that the Tun Tun Bookstore scene requires you to form two teams yourselves, with each team having the same number of people. You can check the contract for the specific rules and gameplay. Please be quick and don't waste time.”

At this moment, Qiu Kui opened the door, allowing all the Reminiscer players to enter the bookstore lobby.

On the long table here, there were two stacks of contract papers, but strangely, the colors of the papers were different.

One stack was red, and the other was blue.

At this time, the fatty who had just arrived spoke up: “The two types of contracts have different content, right?”

“They are roughly the same, only some details will have differences, but please rest assured that all level scenes within the Imprisonment Day must adhere to the principles of fairness and impartiality, so there won't be any situation where one group is more difficult or one group is easier.”

Qiu Kui then pointed to the contract: “Then, let's start forming teams by choosing the color of the contract. You are free to allocate yourselves, begin.”

At this moment, none of the twelve people immediately went to take a contract.

Only An Zhiyan and the other two whispered to each other for a moment, then walked over together and picked up the blue contract.

“These three people all have card rings, obviously they are veterans, I want to team up with them.”

“Me too, they are not only veterans, but also two beautiful women, a feast for the eyes.”

Immediately, three Reminiscers went over and picked up the blue contract.

Obviously, with twelve people divided into two groups, six people in each group, at this moment, the blue team was already full.

“Heh, then we don't need to choose, we can only choose red.” The fatty grumbled, estimating that he was a step too slow just now, letting others take the lead, otherwise, he would also choose the blue team.

The reason is very simple, Reminiscers with card rings have at least cleared three scenes, which is obviously much more reliable than a newbie.

Luo Xi also walked over at this time, picked up a red contract, and carefully read it.

VIII. Other

The final interpretation right of this contract belongs to Tun Tun Bookstore.

Participants must abide by the game rules and the instructions of the on-site staff.

All Reminiscer participants are now carefully reading this contract.

After all, this is related to their gains this time, and even their life and death.

“Um, Miss Qiu Kui, I have a question.” At this time, a Reminiscer who had already chosen to be on the Red Team raised his hand and said cautiously.

“Please speak, answering the questions of Reminiscer players is also one of my job duties.” Qiu Kui smiled, appearing very professional.

“I want to ask, the fixed card reward mentioned in the completion reward, number 077 [Horadric Cube], is this always available? Because I noticed that this card is a fixed reward.” This Reminiscer was a young man in his twenties, a little shy, wearing black-rimmed glasses, a checkered shirt, and his hair was messy and shapeless.

“You are a newbie, how many scenes have you cleared? One, or two?” Qiu Kui asked back.

“Two, I am indeed a newbie.” The young man nodded.

“I believe there are also people here who are similar to you, and some who are challenging the Tun Tun Bookstore level scene for the first time, so I can explain it specifically.” Qiu Kui paused, her eyes sweeping over everyone: “First of all, the Spider Card, I believe everyone knows that cards are divided into cards with numbers and cards without numbers.”

“Yes, that's indeed the case.” Several people nodded.

“Do you know the difference between them?”

“Don't know!”

“Simply put, except for the 099 card ring, cards with numbers are unique, that is to say, the numbered card, in the Imprisonment Day, has, and only has one, it is unique!”

As soon as this remark came out, several Reminiscers who did not understand the situation were immediately dumbfounded.

But there were several people, including An Zhiyan, Xiao Ru, and Aunt Qin over there, who had no reaction.

Obviously, they already knew.

“So you understand, right? If you want to get the [Horadric Cube] numbered 077 in the Imprisonment Day, you can only clear my level scene.” Qiu Kui said with a smile, her tone carrying a sense of pride.

It's unclear what she's proud of.

“Wait a minute, that's not right!” The young man with glasses and a checkered shirt suddenly reacted at this time: “According to what you said, doesn't that mean that in the loop days experienced in the entire Imprisonment Day, no Reminiscer can complete the completion method of Condition 1? Otherwise, this card would not still be here.”

“Heh, did you just realize it? That's right, every loop day, many Reminiscers come to challenge, the purpose is for the No. 077 card, but I'm sorry, none of them have succeeded.”

Now, the others knew what she was proud of.
