They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 276 Gold Alloy Wins the Game on Its Own
When Guiji picked up the square, transparent container that had been sitting on the commentary table, most of the audience in the universe thought that Guiji was about to win the match.

As a result, Guiji was stunned when he pinched it with his hand.

He discovered that he couldn't even squeeze the transparent container.

It should be noted that the planetary rules do not restrict the power of returning to nothingness for such inanimate objects.

In other words, the material containing this aventurine was blessed by the power of the Joyful Fate, and even the Great Lord of Annihilation could not destroy it.

At this moment, only Guiji's head and hands were unable to make an expression, otherwise they would definitely be speechless.

However, speechless as he was, Gui Ji still had to protest. He turned directly to Dan Lei and said...

“Mr. Danlei, adding protection to this transparent box seems to be a violation of the rules of the game.”

However, Dan Lei couldn't control his expression at this moment, so he said with a provocative smile.
“Mr. Guiji, I did not break the rules of the game.”

The rules of the game never said that I had to guarantee you access to every single aventurine.

The rules only state that I cannot use methods such as other dimensions to make it completely impossible for you to detect the gold dust.

Although you cannot touch this aventurine to perceive its internal state, you can observe it visually. I did not even conceal its energy fluctuations, so I did not violate any rules.

If you confirm that you ultimately chose this aventurine stone, and that it is indeed genuine, you win the game.

Danlei is using the game rules here to increase the difficulty of returning to tranquility.

Because without confirming the internal condition of the aventurine, it is impossible to be 100% certain whether the stone is genuine.

However, this is originally a question-and-answer hidden object game, and hiding things is a reasonable operation.

The so-called question-and-answer item finding method involves using questions to determine the approximate location of an item before conducting a more detailed analysis.

The various obstacles and misleading elements introduced by the players are normal gameplay elements.

Therefore, Guiji, having had ample time, did not make a direct judgment, but instead asked again.
"Just to be on the safe side, Mr. Danlei, you don't have any other aventurine on you, do you?"

To this question, Dan Lei maintained his mocking smile and replied...

"Sorry, this is a new question unrelated to the rules of the game, and I cannot answer it."

However, I personally cannot accept you searching me, so I promise that I do not have any gold dust on me.

Gui Ji did not question Dan Lei's promise. Although Dan Lei had energy fluctuations from sand gold, it was very likely that he had fabricated it.

If he deceives himself with his promises, he will lose the game.

That would actually damage its credibility by broadcasting the game across the entire universe.

You should know that the main feature of this planet Avalon is that the outcome of a game is absolutely safe.

If the supreme and only god is someone who completely disregards the rules, then the lower levels will follow suit, greatly damaging the planet's reputation and resulting in a complete loss.

Therefore, Guiji decisively turned the palm of his head hand towards the other two people beside him.

When Jimi saw Guiji looking at it, it panicked instantly. As a night owl, the Extinction Lord was far too much for it.

Jimi said in a panic

"No, don't look at me, I'm just a small-time host."

I only have feathers, no gold dust.

I cannot accept being searched by you.

"If the Great Lord of Annihilation were to touch these feathers of mine, I'd never find a wife."

Guiji did not make things difficult for Jimi, the night owl.

Even the Great Lord of Annihilation has his pride. When he is unable to carry out destruction, bullying a little bird would be a laughing stock.

As for the aventurine energy fluctuations on Jimi's body, they were clearly Dan Lei's doing as well.

If I could be fooled by this little bird, then this failure would be a reward for the bird's courage, since I haven't lost anything anyway.

Regardless of whether he wins or loses this game, Danlei will find a way to prevent his missionary work from being destroyed; the only difference is whether he does it openly or covertly.

Therefore, Guiji turned his attention to placer gold.

This guy definitely has aventurines on him, because the subtle energy fluctuations from a distance would be masked by the aventurine placed on the outside, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he had the energy fluctuations of at least seven or eight aventurines on him.

However, Sand Gold simply crossed his arms and refused.

"Don't look at me, and I can't search you. Do you believe me if I say that the energy fluctuations on my body were simulated by Dan Lei?"

However, Guiji did not have such a good attitude towards sand gold, and directly said...
"As far as I know, lying is as natural to you as eating and drinking, so I don't believe you."

In response, Sand Gold immediately spread his hands playfully and said...

"Damn it, what kind of world is this? Even the Great Lord of Annihilation is questioning what I say."

"Danlei, can you explain this to me?"

Seeing that the gold dust had dragged him into the mess, Dan Lei could only say...
“Gold dust… never mind, consider this an extra answer.”

"Return to Silence, I did indeed cast a spell on the gold dust that simulated the energy fluctuations of multiple gold dust stones."

Danlei admitted that casting magic on Sand Gold did not affect his reputation, as it was a disruptive tactic within the rules.

If you can't even distinguish between a living person and a piece of gold dust, you deserve to lose.

However, Danlei said that the fact that magic was applied does not mean that there is no gold dust on Sand Gold.

The two are not logically contradictory.

Therefore, Guiji carefully examined the gold dust.

The clothes and pants did not bulge noticeably, and although the aventurine was not large, it was still about half the size of an adult's fist.

Without the help of spatial artifacts, if you stuff something into your clothes pocket, it's obvious at a glance that there's something inside.

Therefore, the gold dust was not in the pocket of the clothes.

It was possible that it would sit in his back pocket, so without saying a word, Guiji grabbed Sand Gold by the collar and lifted him up.

To put it bluntly, the fact that Sand Gold refused to be searched was not mandatory for Guiji.

According to the game rules, Gui Jizhen can search Dan Lei's body if she wants to.

However, given Dan Lei's recent victory over [Pharmacist] and [Lan], he really didn't dare to act recklessly.

Since lifting someone up doesn't count as an attack, Sand Gold's small frame was instantly lifted up by Gui Ji, and the chair overturned to the ground.

However, the surrounding camera footage proved that no gold dust had fallen onto the chair, and there were no pockets or unusual bulges on the back of his pants.

So, after Guiji put the gold dust down, he reached directly for the gold dust in his buttocks.

Gui Ji lifted Sha Jin up, and Dan Lei didn't stop him. But seeing Gui Ji's hand reaching towards Sha Jin's buttocks, Dan Lei decisively stopped him.

"Gui Ji, this program is for the entire universe."

Therefore, we should abide by the moral principles found in common sense.

If you insist on searching for gold dust... well, buttocks, I can prepare a dressing room to protect the privacy of gold dust, and otherwise this live stream will become an 18+ content.

After all, we're sure there are a lot of minors watching our live stream this time.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Gui Ji abruptly stopped. Just as mentioned before, even the Great Lord of Annihilation had his pride.

Guiji can be subjected to all sorts of insults for his act of destroying civilization; being called an executioner or a lackey of Nanook is nothing to him.

But being mistaken for a gay man is still a bit hard to bear.

Just like when he suggested that Huanlong debut as an idol and start a trend, Huanlong would retort.

If Guiji were to debut as the protagonist in some unspeakable texts or comics, he would also break down.

So he walked around the gold dust, and after confirming that there were no unusual protrusions behind it, he gave up the idea of ​​picking it up.

However, this circle did reveal a clue to Guiji: there seemed to be something below Sand Gold's chest.

Sand Gold was not wearing the spade chest piece from his game character; instead, he was wearing a normal emerald green outfit.

Fireworks is quite the expert at giving nicknames; Sand Gold seems to really like the peacock color scheme.

However, the next second, the collar of the gold-plated garment was violently torn open by Guiji, and a gold-plated pendant instantly popped out from inside the garment.

Upon seeing this, Guiji grabbed the gold dust and tried to pull it, but it wouldn't budge.

He then discovered that the surface of this aventurine also had a transparent material that could block energy detection, and its necklace portion had also been reinforced.

Pulling on this necklace would definitely injure the gold-plated neck, and since that would be considered plunder, the pulling force is invalidated by the planet's rules.

Guiji was too lazy to ask Danlei why he couldn't remove the gold dust from the gold dust's neck.

Because Danlei would definitely say that this thing on the neck of the gold nugget doesn't affect his observation and doesn't violate the rules.

At this point, Guiji needs to confront the question of which of the gold-plated stones—the one on the gold-plated stone around Sandalwood's neck and the one on the table—is the real gold-plated stone.

It's now basically confirmed that there are only these two sandstones within a meter of Danlei.

But one of these two is definitely fake, and the reason for preventing the exploration of the interior is to force me to make a choice.

With a 50% chance of choosing correctly, the program's effect is guaranteed, and the method of isolation and investigation doesn't seem too difficult for oneself.

So, Guiji took out the twenty-sided die he used as a hat.

Dan Lei watched this scene and muttered something to himself, somewhat speechless.
"Does the Great Lord of Annihilation also need to roll dice when making a judgment?"

Gui Ji answered this question with a smile.
"The universe is full of randomness and disorder, and when you can't make a judgment, a few gadgets are still necessary."

Now, it all depends on whether luck is on my side.

After Gui Ji finished speaking, he immediately threw the dice onto the table in the commentary section.

A twenty-sided die, with patterns on each face completely incomprehensible, left Danlei clueless as to how to help Guiji make a choice.

Dan Lei could only guess that these patterns were numbers from the home planet Guiji, and he chose them based on whether the number rolled was odd or even.

The dice have already been rolled, and for Sand Gold, whether he has everything or nothing, he is already used to it.

Therefore, no information can be gleaned from the sand gold face of Guiji.

As for Danlei, his expression is still out of control, his smile is even more perverted than the masked Fool's, and you can't tell anything from him.

As the dice were about to stop rolling, Dan Lei deliberately spoke to Jimi beside him.
"Do you think we should insert an ad segment here?"

As soon as Danlei said this, the entire live stream chat was filled with "No!!" The fact that he stopped at such a crucial moment was too painful for the viewers.

At this moment, Jimi finally managed to overcome his fear of the Great Lord of Annihilation with the professionalism of a host, and cooperated with Danlei to speak.
"You can put an ad in the middle, anyway, Interstellar Peace Entertainment has a special department to handle protest information."

Of course, Danlei and Jimi were just joking. This live stream had been advertised beforehand as a live broadcast and that no commercials would be allowed.

As for how to broadcast live in real time over such a long distance and the time flow issues caused by gravity, don't worry about that. Interstellar Peace Company has a complete solution to ensure that people everywhere see real-time footage.

The question is that the power of imaginary numbers is all-powerful.

Therefore, in the scene, the silent dice quickly came to rest on the table.

The meaning of the symbols above is unimportant. After the dice stopped rolling, Guiji decisively grabbed the aventurine stone on the table as a sample and said...
"Okay, I'll choose this aventurine."

Seeing that Guiji had made a choice, [Aha] flew over in mask form and shouted loudly.
"Oh, you chose this one? I personally suggest you think about it again."

However, Guiji directly handed the gold dust to [Aha] and said...
"No need to think about it anymore, this one is the one."

[Aha] "Are you sure you don't want to change it?"

"Return to stillness" is confirmed.

Seeing Guiji's insistence, [Aha] loudly announced...
"Alright, player Guiji has made the final choice. I declare the Hiders the winner of this game!!"

After saying that, [Aha] turned directly to Danlei and said...
"Alright, Danlei, show me where the real gold dust is."

Seeing this, Dan Lei took out a candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and activated the swap magic. A piece of gold dust covered in stomach acid and the candy instantly swapped places.

As soon as this aventurine appeared, Guiji understood that the stone had been hidden inside the aventurine's stomach.

In response, Guiji said he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly, and that the gold dust on the table and the gold dust around his neck were both fake.

Dan Lei managed to put the real gold dust into the gold dust's stomach.

The size of the aventurine is large enough to fit an adult's stomach.

The ability of gold dust to protect the life of a traveler can also ensure that the abdomen does not swell significantly and that there will be no adverse reactions in the short term.

As for whether the stomach counts as a container, of course it does.

There was an energy fluctuation, but it only obstructed the view and of course did not violate any rules.

However, Gui Ji knows why he lost, and Dan Lei still needs to explain it to the audience.

Dan Lei then wiped the goldstone clean with water and said...
"I hid this aventurine in Mr. Aventurine's stomach."

Aside from that, I didn't take any precautions against it.

The aventurine pendant, the sample aventurine on the table, and the magic I cast on the aventurine were all to conceal the energy fluctuations of this aventurine.

Mr. Sand Gold endured the pain of having a foreign object in his stomach and successfully deceived Mr. Guiji.

Therefore, the true winner of this competition is placer gold!

Danlei wasn't trying to gild the gold dust here. Although it was Danlei's idea, the real trick to fool Guiji was the gold dust's acting skills.

Gui Ji had been very cautious. His only mistake was ignoring the opportunity when Dan Lei offered him a fitting room to search Sha Jin, because of his pride and Sha Jin's reaction.

In fact, Guiji could feel a noticeable hard lump simply by touching Sand Gold's belly during the body search.

As a P-45 level employee of Interstellar Peace Corporation, it's impossible for Sand Gold to have a tumor in his body.

With the medical capabilities of Interstellar Peace Corporation, tumors can be easily treated painlessly and without scarring.

Unless the gold nugget had undergone mechanical modifications to its internal organs, there should be no hard lumps when pressing down on its abdomen.

Unfortunately, reality doesn't offer "what ifs," and Guiji's loss is a loss.

　Looking at the PV of the silent die, you can see that both of the visible top corners have five sides.

　　I checked it with DeepSeek and concluded that it's a 20-sided die.
