What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

Chapter 101 It seems you're in grave danger.

"A game of life?"

Ye Wen leaned back strategically: "I'm just playing around with life, how do you want to play?"

"What's the difference between telling me the game details first and eating cake before eating a meal?"

Yujiu crossed her fingers: "Let's talk about the stakes in the game first."

"Since it's a game where you stake your life, it means that if you lose, your life will belong to me. Your thoughts, your soul, and even every emotion you feel will belong to me completely."

"And if I lose, I'll tell you everything I've known about Goodzown in my long life. How about that, fair enough?"

Ye Wen:

'

'

He gave Youjiu the middle finger without expression: "All of life and a part of life."

"What kind of fairness is this?"

Corday chimed in, "Exactly! That's so unfair!"

Youjiu chuckled.

"This is the limitation of you humans as a short-lived species."

"Think about it carefully. Putting aside the fact that I, as a succubus, have experienced far more time than humans, your life is just less than a hundred years of human life. I don't think it's worth much."

Youjiu elegantly crossed her legs: "Of course, the choice is yours. Whether you play or not is up to you."

Corday tugged at Ye Wen's clothes fearfully: "Ye Wen, this is too dangerous. She's a devil from hell! Maybe we should just forget about it?"

However, the next second, Ye Wen lazily raised his dead fish eyes and said without any emotion, "Okay, I'll play."

Corday: "Huh?"

"Hey hey!!"

"Why did you agree so quickly, you idiot!"

Why did you agree?

because----

Ye Wen chuckled lightly: "Isn't it good to have someone help you shoulder the burdens of life?"

"I can rest for a while longer."

"but----"

The series of female protagonists, the mysterious Li Li, and the two-year gap—

Ye Wen leaned forward slightly, looking intently at Youjiu: "You're just a lowly succubus, what right do you have to bear the weight of my life?"

The bet was invalid from the start.

No one can carry Ye Wen's life.

Therefore, he can indulge in reckless behavior without worry.

"They really are high and mighty."

Youjiu also revealed a slight smile: "I sincerely hope that you are confident rather than arrogant, and that when you lose, you will not kneel on the ground and weep bitterly like humans did in the past, kissing my toes and begging for forgiveness."

Ye Wen retorted, "Won't you find out when you lose?"

After exchanging trash talk, the duel was about to begin.

Youjiu gently tapped her fingertips, and an invisible force enveloped the entire room. Then, the layout of the room began to change, and a few seconds later, she found herself in a place resembling a basement.

Before we begin, please allow me to explain the rules of the game to you.

Youjiu snapped his fingers, and soon a huge map covering the entire desktop appeared in front of Ye Wen. The map covered continents, snowfields, oceans, mountains, deserts and dense forests, and looked quite exquisite.

"This is the map where we start our game."

Yujiu explained, "In the game, we will play the roles of kings of different countries in different regions, developing people's livelihoods, training armies, manufacturing weapons and expanding our territory—the one who ultimately defeats the opposing country is the winner."

Ye Wen nodded: "Then this is truly a game of life."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is just the basic setup; in reality, it's far more complex than you might imagine."

"So, before we officially enter the game, we need to play one more simple mini-game, which is — card drawing."

Youjiu smiled, took out a card box from under the table, opened it, and laid out the cards inside.

"These cards will determine where your kingdom will spawn and the races it will consist of."

"For example, these six terrain cards—continental card, snowfield card, desert card, ocean card, mountain card, and jungle card—allow you to freely choose the starting location of the game and the resource distribution of that area when you have these cards."

"And these are race cards: dwarf, angel, elf, troll, succubus, human, elemental creature, dragon, orc, mech—"

1

"These race cards determine the population your nation can control at the start of the game."

"As for these, they are skill cards: healing, magic, economy, iron casting, war, cooking, hunting, and survival—they will determine what your nation excels at in the early stages."

"Finally, there are the strategy cards."

Youjiu focused on introducing the six golden cards to Ye Wen: "So-called strategic cards are cards that can play a strategic role in the development of a country. Simply put, they are artifacts."

"Each strategic card has a powerful effect; if used properly, it might even be able to turn a disadvantage into a victory."

"certainly."

Youjiu put his finger to his lips: "You can only have one strategy card at a time."

Choose carefully.

That concludes the card introduction.

Koday, who was watching the game, was already feeling dizzy: "Is this game really this complicated? There are so many cards that make up the game elements—this, this—"

She looked at Ye Wen with concern: "Ye Wen, can you do it?"

Corday longed for a positive answer from Ye Wen, but she noticed that Ye Wen's posture seemed a little strange at this moment.

He hunched over slightly, lowering his head while covering his face with his hand, as if trying to hide his expression.

At the same time, Ye Wen's body was trembling slightly, as if he would break down at any moment.

Corday was shocked; her heart sank instantly.

Even Ye Wen is panicking like this? This game must be really difficult.

No way—we're really going to lose?!

The girl had begun to worry about their future.

And she was prepared to bear the infamy of breaking her promise in order to escape with Ye Wen.

What was Ye Wen doing at this moment?

He was actually trying not to laugh.

"Pfft—"

Don't laugh, don't laugh, just a little bit more, just a little bit more—

Bearing the title of vice president of the student council, he had to keep a straight face.

"alright."

After adjusting his expression, Ye Wen nodded: "I have a pretty good understanding of the rules."

"So how should the cards be allocated and acquired?"

97

"A selection process will be adopted, prioritizing candidates."

Youjiu arranged the cards neatly on the table: "For example, you choose one card first, then I choose two, then you choose one again, and I choose two, and so on."

"There is only one terrain card and one race card. Once you choose one, I cannot choose another. There are no restrictions on skill cards."

"The strategy cards are completely randomized. Excluding the strategy cards, each person can choose a total of 10 cards. How about that, no problem?"

Ye Wen nodded: "No problem."

"Alright then." Youjiu gestured for you to go first: "Since you are the guest, I will do my best to be a good host and let you choose first."

""

"You would choose—oh dear, you've already chosen."

That's right, the second after Youjiu let Ye Wen choose first, he didn't hesitate and decisively chose the version's chosen one.

Human card.

"Choosing a human card first? Is that reckless or daring?"

Youjiu, playing second, chose the Succubus Card and the Continent Card: "To avoid the game becoming too boring, I need to remind you, Ye Wen."

"This game is something I recreated from one of the few existing records of Evil God Fei. It is said that in the past, Evil God Fei used this game to strip countless gods of their existence."

Kodai exclaimed in shock, "What?! It's a game created by the evil god Fei?!"

It seems Ye Wen is in grave danger.

Ye Wen, expressionless, selected the Economy Card and Desert Card again, a barely suppressed smile playing on his lips.

He knew, of course, that this was a game created by Himegakuzo.

Back in the student council days, Hiiro Sen often asked Ye Wen to play the game she had independently developed called "The End".

The content isn't exactly unrelated; it's more accurate to say it's identical.

Ye Wen had a premonition when he saw the map, and when the card appeared, he didn't even bother to pretend anymore.

Therefore, Ye Wen kept his expression in check, preventing him from laughing out loud.

Incidentally, Fei Hezeng and Ye Wen played this game about 500 times, and their score was 489:11.

The number 11 is Higanbana.
