With an extra phone in hand, it could be said that Li Ying was the luckiest one who had the biggest advantage on her side, however, she realized that she was still too far away from the goal so there was probably no way for her to win. 

It wasn't like she wanted to win either. She was just here for the fun so she really didn't care who won in the end, however, if you were to ask her if she rooted for another player, the girl would probably give you a smile and nod. 

She did hope to see someone winning, but unlike what most people would think, it wasn't her brother that she hoped to see win the game, nor was it Mastermo. 

Li Ying was indeed a Mastermo fan but she still hoped to see another player winning and this player was the player who was the nearest to the center of the maze at this very moment.

She wanted to see Huang Zhen winning against both Zhihao and her brother. 

That boy had always looked up to his brother a bit too much and this had made him indirectly underestimate his own self. 

Ever since Li Ying had started getting closer to the boy, she had come to realize this slowly. 

Huang Zhen was also talented and amazing in his own ways but the boy had almost zero confidence in himself and he considered his brother to be a God for him. A God that is amazing and can do everything better than him. 

This was also part of the reason why Huang Zhen was so surprised to see his brother dating Li Ling and at the starting, he was even a little bit against it. 

Even in this final level, Li Ying could clearly look at Huang Zhen's casual approach and guess what was going through the boy's head. He probably had no idea that he had the most chances of winning at this moment and he was clearly expecting to hear the system announcing that Zhihao had won at any given moment now. 

Even though he was given more headstart in this game, his confidence was still too low and Huang Zhen couldn't even imagine winning against his brother so he didn't even bother giving it his all. 

If he kept expectations, sooner or later, his expectations would be broken so, in order to save himself from being let down like that, the boy decided not to keep any expectations at all. 

He simply didn't hope to win and this was the exact reason why Li Ying wanted the boy to win. 

Since she considered him a good friend, Li Ying had tried everything possible to raise his confidence. She had let him join their team and had even let him be the leader not only because she wanted to prove that he should trust himself more but also because she believed that he had the skills to be a leader. She had even gone as far as to compliment him every day for every little thing he did, however, none of it ever worked. 

In the end, all her tactics had borne no fruit, but at this moment, she believed that winning this game was going to be different. 

Zhihao was also here and if Huang Zhen could win against his brother for the first time in his life, his expectations with himself would certainly change. 

His brother who was considered to be God would be proven to be nothing more than just a human who was talented and worked hard. 

The boy would finally be able to realize that he was also just as good as his brother and his brother was not someone so high up that he was basically untouchable. 

Li Ying clicked her tongue as she saw Huang Zhen falling into another trap after just beating the bull. 

It seemed that although the boy was talented, the Gods of luck really didn't prefer him. 

How could it be that his brother was so blessed with luck that he had only gotten one trap so far while Huang Zhen had managed to fall into three consecutively?!

Li Ying shook her head in disbelief as she stopped walking and leisurely sat down on the ground with her back leaning against the wall as she looked at her phone screen with much interest. 

The girl had always liked watching Huang Zhen play. There was just something about it that had always attracted her. 

If she were to compare the two brothers then she would say that watching Zhihao play was like watching a professional use all his experience to make a plan before successfully executing it. The ones who watched could guess what would be happening next and they knew that in the end, Zhihao would surely win. However, watching Huang Zhen play was the exact opposite. 

It was like watching a drunk player try to survive with no plan whatsoever. He would first try to avoid and escape but it would fail and he would eventually try out the different methods he could think up of to get out of the situation before slowly realizing what the opponent's weakness was. The ending could not be guessed and it made the viewers be on the edge of their toes just waiting to see if the player would win or not.

Li Ying saw the boy trying to climb the wall to close the trap but failing as the wall turned slippery. 

Her face cringed up as she took a closer look at her screen and noticed that there was some sort of sticky substance attached to the wall and it kept on increasing as it slowly flowed down from the wall and filled up the floor as well. 

Huang Zhen stepped back, trying to get away from the sticky substance but his back hit the other wall and was completely wrapped up in the sticky substance that he was trying so hard to avoid. 

Li Ying almost wanted to slam her face on the wall as she saw the boy panicking as he tried to get the sticky substance off of him but only ended up being more covered in it. 

Just as she had thought, it was really too hard to predict whether this boy was going to win or not since he would always look as if he was about to lose in the very beginning itself. 

Huang Zhen pursed his lips into a thin line as he lifted his head and tried to smell the thing that was completely odorless and when he realized that there was no smell coming from it, he was rather relieved. 

Huang Zhen sighed in relief but in the very next moment, he felt a drop of that stuff falling on his face and it made him look up. 

He soon realized that he had sighed in relief a bit too soon without actually knowing what situation he was in. 

Huang Zhen's entire body went still in fear as he gulped, looking straight up at the creature that was looking down on him. 

The sticky substance was actually the odorless drool of the mechanic dragon that was creeping above the maze. 

He thought not moving was going to make him invisible and the creature would probably not notice him but he was certainly wrong and naive to think that. 

The creature opened its mouth and let out a loud ear-piercing cry almost sounding like a roaring lion that was a bit too loud and Huang Zhen winced as he felt his ears ringing after hearing that. 

When the creature stopped, Huang Zhen gulped as he commented, "You don't sound very happy. Are you hungry perhaps?" 

The creature looked back at the boy and naturally said nothing as a response since it could not even understand what Huang Zhen had said. 

"I taste very bad," Huang Zhen spoke as he pursed his lips, "Just telling you in case you have any ideas." 

The creature was silent for a few seconds before it took a deep breath in and roared once again.

Huang Zhen covered his ears with his hands and tried to look around to find a way out of this thing but the walls had thoroughly trapped him in here to become fresh livestock. 

The space created by the closed walls was big enough for the creature's head and thankfully the creature couldn't come in, however, its head was more than enough if its aim was to eat Huang Zhen. 

The creature struck first and Huang Zhen immediately took to his feet as he ran around the corners of the place, trying to save his life. 

He really wanted to curse the heavens for giving him the worst luck at this moment. 

When the Dragon struck for the second time, Huang Zhen was almost caught and had only managed to be saved by a few inches. 

Li Ying who was watching this chase couldn't help but flinch as she worried for the boy and his life.
