Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

When Qianjie finished cleaning up the dishes, Gretchen also finished her painting. She looked at the sketch in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.

I was in good shape today and finished a sketch in a very short time. I can give this drawing to Qianjie as a New Year's gift.

Every year, the members of the Golden Garden exchange New Year's gifts. This year, Gretchen plans to draw a sketch for each of them, and they will surely be very happy when she gives it to them.

Only then did she realize someone was behind her. She quickly turned around and saw Bai Qianqu, and immediately felt a little shy.

"I just drew this for fun, please excuse my poor drawing skills, Ms. Qu Yin."

"No, I think you draw very well. Can you draw comics?"

Upon hearing Bai Qianqu's question, Gretchen was clearly taken aback. She didn't quite understand why Bai Qianqu would ask this, but Gretchen still answered honestly, "I know a little. I've helped others draw comics before."

Gretchen blushed slightly as she recalled something and said, "They're just little comics, drawn for fun."

Upon hearing that Greta had drawn comics, Bai Qianqu's eyes lit up.

He had seen Gretsch's sketch earlier, and the other person's style was very similar to his own. In addition, the other person had experience in drawing comics, so she should be more than qualified to be an assistant.

But what reason should I use to lure—no, invite—Gresh to be my assistant?

Now that I am in the identity of Qu Yin, it is not appropriate for me to invite Gretchen in public.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Gretchen suddenly asked, "Ms. Qu Yin, do you really know Ms. Qian Jian?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked over, clearly very interested in the matter.

Bai Qianqu thought about it and decided not to hide it, since it wasn't anything shameful.

"Uh, we do know each other."

"That's great!" Gretchen smiled happily immediately, and quickly took out a piece of paper. "Could you please ask Ms. Qu Yin to help me get an autograph from Mr. Qian Jian? My father and mother are both loyal readers of Mr. Qian Jian!"

"I was originally a reader of Qianjian." Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu waved his hand and said generously, "No problem, leave the autograph to me. I have a very good relationship with Qianjian, so an autograph is no problem."

"As expected! You two really do know each other!" Wilvi popped out from behind Bai Qianqu at some point. "Could you get me an autograph too? I especially love the Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella in his novel. Its ever-changing structure is just so appealing to me. Actually, I've been studying it for a while now. Once I've figured it out, I'll definitely make one to play with!"

Bai Qianqu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Wilvi was also a reader of Qianjian.

Damn it, does Qianjian have way too many readers? Why doesn't my Quyin have any fans?

At this moment, Kosmo slowly raised his hand: "Um, could you please ask me for a copy as well, Ms. Qu Yin?"

Pado's ears twitched, her little eyes darted around, and she quickly started making plans in her mind.

'A thousand swords' autograph must be worth a lot of money, right?'

She immediately raised her hand: "Me too! Me too!"

Qianjie moved his hand slightly, but then stopped moving.

Bai Qianqu looked at the crowd in front of her and was speechless!

Damn it, Qianjian seems to have more fans than me!

He clearly spent a lot of time and effort cultivating his main instrument, but now he finds that it's not as well-developed as his secondary instrument. What kind of mentality is that?

He felt a little sour.

Ellie covered her mouth and laughed, "It seems our music teacher is going to be sad."

Bai Qianqu immediately put on a strong front: "How could I be sad? I'm not that fragile! I just didn't expect Qianjian to be so popular!"

Wilvi patted Bai Qianqu on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry. Actually, you have a lot of fans, it's just that we happen to have fewer here, hahaha!"

Bai Qianqu's lips twitched; it was obvious that Vervi was deliberately coming to deliver the final blow.

Ai Li comforted her, "It's okay, Chiku, at least I'm your fan."

Hearing this, Bai Qianqu felt a little better. No matter what, Ai Li was still on her side and it was wrong of her. Wasn't Qian Jian also her? Why was she being so bitter to herself?

He has so many aliases that he's confused even himself.

Just as his mind was buzzing, a message suddenly came from the system.

[Ding! How can we waste this leisurely time after dinner? New task issued—Paradise Werewolf!]

[Werewolf: Join the Golden Courtyard community in playing the card game "Werewolf"! The game "Werewolf" is now available!]

[Mission Successful: You have obtained the game "Werewolf"!]

[Task failed: None]

Bai Qianqu was overjoyed; the system was giving her another free benefit.

Play one game and you get a new card game, and it's the super classic Werewolf! It's a steal!

Chapter 215 Please close your eyes when it gets dark

Seeing that everyone was rather idle, Bai Qianqu said directly, "Since you're all just killing time anyway, how about we play a card game together?"

"Card games?"

Upon hearing Bai Qianqu's words, everyone became curious. Wilvi asked, "Is it about playing cards? We're all tired of that."

"It's not poker, it's a new card game that I came up with."

Upon hearing it was a new game, Kosmo immediately became interested: "A new card game? What's it called?"

"I call it 'Werewolf,' do you have any empty cards? I also need a pen."

"I have some! I'll go get it!" Wilvi immediately stood up, turned around, and jogged away.

Everyone gathered around Bai Qianqu, looking on with curiosity. They used to play card games together often, but they had never heard of a game called "Werewolf".

Soon, Vivi came over with a bunch of empty cards and handed them to Bai Qianqu.

"Thank you." Bai Qianqu took the card and pen and began to write and draw on it.

A card was quickly written out, and when everyone looked at it, they saw a werewolf with a wolf's head and a human body, howling at the sky under the moon. There were also two words at the top of the card: Werewolf.

As one of the most popular card games, "Werewolf" has naturally developed into many versions. The version that Bai Qianqu obtained is the most classic old version, with only the following roles: Werewolf, Villager, Seer, Witch, and Hunter.

This initial version can be played by 4 to 18 people. In the living room now, there are eight people: Bai Qianqu, Ai Li, Eden, Qian Jie, Gretchen, Kosmo, Pado, and Wei Erwei, which is just enough for a game.

Eight people are needed, with roles consisting of two wolves, three villagers, one seer, one hunter, and one witch.

Everyone looked at the cards in Bai Qianqu's hand with great curiosity. He quickly drew one image and name after another, all of which were new to them and they found them very novel.

Gretchen was even more surprised. Although the images on the cards Bai Qianqu drew were very simple, they still required some drawing skills. Moreover, judging from how quickly Bai Qianqu drew them, she was clearly not a novice.

It seems that when he said he knew a little about painting, he wasn't just boasting, but actually did.

Ellie looked at Kosmo and asked, "Kosmo, you play a lot of games, have you ever seen these things before?"

Kosmo shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, I've never even heard of such things, let alone seen them."

Everyone picked up the cards and started discussing them.

"These are civilians. What does 'civilians' mean? Ordinary people?"

"I know what a werewolf is! It's the kind of creature in legends that's cursed and turns into a half-wolf, half-human monster on the night of a full moon! Some movies have made that!"

"Are prophets astrologers? The kind who can predict the future?"

"A witch flying on a broomstick! I usually just call her an old witch! Haha, look at the witch on this card holding a potion, she looks a bit like Mebius! No wonder she's an old witch!"

The crowd held the cards and discussed them animatedly, trying to guess the meaning behind the names on the cards.

Finally, Bai Qianqu finished drawing. He looked at everyone and smiled, "I'll call this game 'Werewolf Classic Edition'!"

Because there are no board games in this world, people's impression of board games is still limited to playing cards and mahjong. They are very unfamiliar with role-playing games, so when they hear about Werewolf, they are completely clueless.

Even the usually taciturn Qian Jie couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What does 'Werewolf' mean?"

Bai Qianqu didn't keep them in suspense and explained directly: "The so-called Werewolf is a role-playing card game. In this game, all players need to play a mysterious role. The victory conditions for each role are different, and players need to win according to the characteristics of their own role."

Ellie's eyes lit up: "How exactly do we play it?"

"That's right. This game has an environment setting, which is divided into day and night. The roles that can act are different during the day and night. For example, the werewolves can vote to kill one player when night comes."

"Can he kill anyone he wants? Isn't that too powerful?" Pado's eyes widened.

"The werewolves are the villains, the big bosses. The other players on the field are allies. They need to use their skills to find and eliminate all the werewolves in order to win. The werewolves, on the other hand, need to eliminate all the good guys without anyone noticing."

Eden immediately grasped the essence of the game: "Because no one knows the identities of others, it is often necessary to make judgments through analysis and guessing, which tests the player's language and analytical logic abilities."

"Werewolves can pretend to be human, while humans need to cover for each other and confuse the werewolves so that they can't find the right target at night."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Bai Qianqu nodded. "Furthermore, players who are killed by the werewolves can leave their last words to help the good guys analyze the situation. During the day, everyone needs to vote to select the player most likely to be a werewolf for execution."

Bai Qianqu quickly explained the rules of the Werewolf game.

The rules of this standard version are actually very simple compared to the later versions; you can basically learn them after playing a couple of rounds.

The people in the Golden Courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they were still a little confused, after listening to Bai Qianqu's explanation, the game didn't seem too difficult.

Eden said, "This game is not about individual wisdom, but about the tacit understanding between two teams. It requires each player to speak and guide the game's direction through the speeches of others. This game sounds really fun; it's not only entertaining but also intellectually stimulating."

“Yes, it sounds like so much fun!” Ellie nodded repeatedly, saying impatiently, “Let’s start playing!”

Velvi looked eager to try: "I see! I understand now! Let me play werewolf!"

The others also looked like they wanted to have some fun.

Qianjie crossed his arms and said, "Why think so much? Let's just play a game."

Bai Qianqu picked up the card: "Alright, let's try a game first. Everyone, draw an identity card. Once you have your identity card, only you can know it. You must not let others see your identity. Just follow my instructions after the game starts."

Chapter 216 Who is the werewolf?

Soon, everyone in the Golden Courtyard sat around the sofa, watching with anticipation as Bai Qianqu sorted and distributed the identity tokens, and each person received one.

They glanced at their cards furtively, then looked at each other, trying to glean some clues from each other's faces, but clearly, they couldn't discern anything.

Of course, only Velvi showed an evil smile, as if she really was a werewolf, but everyone was obviously smart enough not to immediately assume that she was a werewolf.

Bai Qianqu plays the role of God, and with his deep voice, the game begins.

"It's dark, please close your eyes."

Although this was everyone's first game, nothing unexpected happened, and it ended smoothly. Everyone picked it up very quickly.

This round was a great victory for the werewolves. The werewolves were played by Ellie and Gretchen, and the two survived until the end of the game.

Kosmo looked at Gretchen with an incredulous expression.

"Gresh is a werewolf? I never doubted you!"
