Chase Game

Your "Try Again" offer is now active!

[Automatically reverting your save file to the start of the game.]

……

A myriad of scenes, shimmering with light, suddenly awakened Ling Yi.

[Fugitive Ling Yi, you have fifteen minutes to prepare. After fifteen minutes, your coordinates will be revealed to your pursuers.]

[Begin your escape!]

This time, Ling Yi didn't hesitate or doubt; he instantly stood up and rushed out the door.

Having personally experienced death, he understood:

In my past life, I was careless and my heart was kicked out by my vicious female neighbor. In this life, I'm given a second chance and I'm determined to take back everything that belongs to me!

Oops, wait, I've gotten a bit off-topic.

However, he was trying to express the same idea—

Come on, the real game is about to begin!

Unlike last time, this time he chose to wait for the elevator.

At the same time, his brain was working frantically, recalling the "Manual of the Chase Game" he had read before and thinking of countermeasures.

First of all, his "Try Again" is equivalent to a game rollback, which only rolls back everything, including the scene and character status, to that point in time, but does not roll back memories and thoughts.

For example, Li Fang, although she was restricted from moving around and waiting in a dark room for the preparation time to pass, also knew everything that had happened last time.

This essentially gives both sides a chance to renegotiate.

Ling Yi wasn't worried that Li Fang would use the "Skip Preparation Time Card" to go out and ambush him at this moment, because the rules stipulated that each game would have a preparation time that could not be skipped.

This game lasts five minutes.

The elevator arrived quickly, and he found useful information in the "Chase Game Manual." He glanced at the countdown on his phone; twenty seconds had already passed.

While waiting to land, he already knew where he wanted to go.

The instruction manual states that in order to make the game more exciting and to balance the strength of the two characters, there are various items that can be used in the game.

For example, there's the "Skip Preparation Time Card" that Li Fang used. In addition, there are cards that add or subtract game time, and of course, there are also fixed-time cards that can fix the time.

In addition to these card-type items, there are also speed boots that increase movement speed, substitute wood that blocks attacks, and red potions that restore status.

His first destination was the location of these items. The pursuers didn't know where these items were, but they could still use them if they encountered them.

"I need to get the [Wind Speed ​​Shoes] from Building 3 first. Li Fang's red high heels are too weird; her jumping ability is amazing. Without a speed-boosting item, it's too easy for her to catch up."

The game's scope is limited to "Qian'an Community," which consists of nine buildings covering approximately 9 square meters, equivalent to eight and a half standard football fields.

The layout of the residential area is quite complicated, and strangers are likely to get lost when they first enter. But Ling Yi is not. He goes for a run every morning and is already familiar with every corner of the residential area.

Thanks to this, he took the shortest route, spent some time on precise positioning, and finally succeeded in getting the Wind Speed ​​Shoes with ten seconds left in the five-minute preparation time.

The moment Ling Yi put them on, he couldn't help but exclaim that wearing these things was simply a pleasure, comfortable in every sense of the word.

The Wind Speed ​​Boots have an active skill and a side effect.

Active skill [A Gust of Wind]: Allows for high-speed running for one minute after use, with a 15-minute cooldown.

The side effect is that it consumes a lot of physical energy, so it should be used with caution.

This high-speed running is close to the limit of a human 100-meter sprint, but that's a 100-meter sprint, while he can maintain it for a minute.

I had just finished reading the skill description when an expected notification appeared.

The pursuer has used a skip preparation time card; your preparation time has been skipped.

[In ten seconds, your coordinates will be revealed to your pursuers, and you will also receive their coordinates.]

However, there was one unexpected thing.

[The pursuer is using a megaphone to address you; you have the option to choose whether to receive the message.]

There's such a thing?

"Receive it? I'd like to hear what they have to say."

Lin Fang's voice came from high above:

"Little brother Ling Yi, it seems I was wrong. Your skills are very useful."

Congratulations on successfully piquing my interest! I'm going to find you and give you a thorough examination!

You have one chance to reply. Would you like to use it?

Holy crap? It can even reply! Such a user-friendly design, I love it!

A reply is required!

"Get the hell out of here, you old hag! Calling you 'sister' is an honor, and you really think you're something special? Let me tell you, get the hell out of here. I won't stoop to your level, but otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson for your father. What a piece of trash you've given birth to! Why didn't you just throw him against the wall back then...?"

Trash talk is free, so he just spews it out. If it weren't for the 100-character limit on the loudspeaker, he would have given Li Fang a real tongue-lashing.

He hadn't forgotten that Li Fang had once threatened to take away his mind and turn him into a vegetable to become her exhibit.

Ling Yi felt relieved after shouting, but Li Fang felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.

Oh no, it's more than just uncomfortable. His brows were so furrowed they could almost trap a fly, and his face was as dark as if he'd come from Africa on vacation.

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yi's coordinates were announced, Li Fang immediately went downstairs to chase after him.

It happened so suddenly; she didn't take the stairs or the elevator, she jumped straight out of the window.

The red high heels shone brightly, and apart from creating a large crater when they landed, Li Fang herself was completely unharmed.

Ling Yi didn't care about any of that; he quickly ran to the next item storage point.

He planned to get the next item as soon as possible, since the pursuers had already entered the area, and running around and bumping into them would be a waste of time.

Anyway, the game is limited to one hour. If Ling Yi doesn't get caught within one hour, he wins.

Of course, there is an even faster way: to successfully turn the tables on your pursuers.

However, it's hard to say whether it's a counterattack or a foolish mistake, because the difference in offensive capabilities between the fugitive and the pursuer is like heaven and earth.

For example, Li Fang possesses extraordinary destructive power. Although it's unclear whether this is a skill exclusive to her pursuers or an ability of her red high heels, it all points to one thing—

Don't fight the pursuers head-on, you can't win. Give up, Azu, or you'll get stabbed to death!

As a fugitive, Ling Yi's unique skills and the items he has acquired so far are all solely for the purpose of escaping.

What?

The force generated by an impact at a speed of nearly eight or nine meters per second would be extremely destructive.

Are you crazy? It's hard to say whether Li Fang can withstand it, but he himself will definitely end up with broken bones, damaged internal organs, and even death.

The pursuers pursue, the fugitives flee.

These are the most basic rules of the chase game.

If you, the fugitive, truly manage to turn the tables, whether it's due to good luck, having all the advantages of timing, location, and people, or meticulously planning and strategizing step by step, it's all your skill.

Judging from the current state of the game, Ling Yi felt that it was better for him to just run away.

If new variables emerge and the timing is right, a comeback is not impossible.
