Guild Boss's Ambition

Page 83

The victorious Gu Shan proudly took out the ruler and stared at Bai Ye hungrily, but she had no idea that her victory was entirely the result of Bai Ye's letting her win. What was even more subtle was that she had actually made a bet with Bai Ye to have her palms slapped. With Bai Ye's carefully modified body, I think she only needed to use 10% of her strength to crush Gu Shan's metacarpal bones along with the ruler.

The world is full of flags of death.

However, the dragon today seemed to have no appetite and just let Gu Shan spank his hands obediently. But this ignorant girl seemed to be afraid that the punishment game would lack excitement, so she swung the ruler hard at me, slapping Bai Ye's palms!

On the other hand, Bai Ye somehow failed to use the characteristics of her body to eliminate her pain. She frowned uncomfortably because of the blow from the ruler. At this moment, she seemed to notice my doubts. She snorted coldly, pointed at Gu Shan's nose and said angrily, "Good fellow, you dare to hit me so hard, you will know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is in a moment!"

"Hehe, that only works if you win, Sister Bai Ye!"

Gu Shanzi smiled, revealing a row of pure white teeth.

It seems that Bai Ye was deliberately teasing Gu Shan. Yes, for someone like Bai Ye who doesn't take pain seriously, it doesn't matter if a twelve-year-old girl hits her hands a few times. But the question is, why did she stay to play with us today? Doesn't she have countless things to do? Where did she find the leisure time this time?

Bai Ye’s behavior always makes me hard to understand.

Next, we played a few games of Apple Chess. After Gushan’s little palms were beaten red by Bai Ye, Lian’er, who had gone to learn teaching from Isabella, came back. Since there were four of us, we could change the game.

What games can four people play?

I suggested playing flying chess, and along with Gu Shan and Bai Ye, we both got the rejection as it was too boring.

Finally, we adopted a table game brought by Bai Ye.

A game called "Misty Forest".

The background of the game is that a group of brave men go on an adventure to the Misty Forest, with the goal of defeating the dead tree spirits hiding in the depths of the forest. At the beginning of the game, players will draw lots to decide which role to play. For example, in a four-player game, the result of the draw will be a dead tree spirit and three adventurers. This time, the one who draws the dead tree spirit is Bai Ye.

I feel like Bai Ye is destined to be a boss.

After assigning their roles, the adventurers will use the dice and cards in their hands to explore the map and reach the terminal where the Death Dryad is hiding. The Death Dryad will set up various traps on the map to stop the adventurers. As long as all the adventurers die, the Death Dryad wins.

Overall, this game is a bit like a modified version of flying chess.

When I started playing it officially, it felt quite interesting.

Of course, Bai Ye, who was more familiar with the game, had an absolute advantage at the beginning.

The distance from the starting point, Mopolis City, to the end point, the House of the Dryad Elders, is a total of 180 squares. The journey does not seem far, and as long as you get thirty sixes in a row, you can successfully reach your destination. However, if you add the trap cards of the undead dryads and the natural environment on the map, surviving and defeating the dryads becomes a huge challenge that requires a lot of brainpower.

For example, in the third roll of the dice shortly after the start of the game, Gu Shan committed suicide.

She rolled a four and landed in front of a trap.

Next, it is Bai Ye’s turn.

Bai Ye covered three cards in her hand and set three new traps on the road in front of Gu Shan. As a result, the six squares in front of Gu Shan's character were all filled with Bai Ye's traps. If he rolled the hexahedral dice, the result would be that he would step into one of the traps no matter what.

"Sister Bai Ye is really mean! But I just read the contents of all the trap cards. Not every trap here is lethal, right? In other words, if I'm lucky, I still have a chance to survive!"

With a lucky mentality, Gu Shan bravely rolled the dice.

The dice rolled and rolled, and finally the number five appeared.

"Ha, let's go!"

"One, two, three, four, five!"

Then Gu Shan triggered the trap card. She turned the card over and saw -

【Take three steps back.】

Then her character triggered another trap.

【Take a step back.】

Then, as a chain reaction occurred, Gu Shan stepped into another trap.

At this time, Gu Shan's face looked bad, as if she had foreseen the future.

[I encountered a cute giant dragon whose magic ring was stolen, and was accidentally burned to death by a fireball. 】

There is no doubt that what Bai Ye set up is a killing array that is sure to kill you. If you want to avoid this killing array, you must properly use the special effects of the cards in your hand to avoid or block the trap.

After a while, it was my turn to encounter this killing array.

"How despicable! How despicable! Sister Bai Ye, your game is totally unfair to adventurers!"

Gu Shan complained like a loser, while Bai Ye shrugged helplessly. "Hey! Little Gu Shan, don't make me sound like a liar, okay? For the Death Tree Spirit, this trap is the most basic of the basics. It can even be said that this is a trap that you can easily target. Look, how did Xiao Lan dodge this wave of attacks?"

Yes, Bai Ye was right. Although this killing formation was powerful, there were ways to break it.

"Activate the card! Only once, use three six-sided dice this round."

I threw a card and took out two spare dice from the prop box.

With three dice, I have a two-thirds chance of escaping this trap.

Determined to avenge Gu Shan, I rolled three dice.

The dice scattered on the paper and finally stopped at three numbers: 3, 6, and 5.

13 points!

I smiled with joy, picked up my Lancer character, crossed the six squares in front of me, and stopped on the thirteenth square.

The thirteenth box is an "opportunity".

Just like the classic Monopoly game, the person who steps on this square has to draw a "Chance Card".

I drew it from the deck.

"..."

I glanced at the card and fell silent.

Chance Card: Being chased by a flaming tiger, the character flees back eight spaces.

In the end, fate brought me back to the six-grid killing array. In the end, after a series of chain reactions, Gu Shan and I had a hug that only belonged to the loser group.

However, our brave group is not completely hopeless.

We have another rogue character! Lian Er!

Unlike us, Lian'er kept rolling big numbers from the beginning and reached the middle of the journey very smoothly. She hadn't used any of the cards in her hand yet and even discarded several item cards because of the seven-card hand limit. As long as she uses the cards in her hand properly, she is likely to bring victory to our adventurer group.

However, Bai Ye had no mercy at all, and she once again set up a six-square killing formation in front of Lian'er.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye cannot succeed easily, because Lian'er has a seven-grid card in her hand. As long as she uses this card, the character can accurately move forward seven steps. In this way, Lian'er can perfectly dodge this wave of attacks from the Death Tree Spirit!

Click～～Click～～Click～～

However, as Gu Shan and I were stunned, the sound of the dice rolling was heard.

Lian'er rolled the dice fearlessly and walked straight into the trap.

[High Elf Guard appears! Character dies! ]

"..." "..." "..."

Whether it was me, Gu Shan or Bai Ye, we all fell into a long silence.

This girl Lian'er has never been able to get into the state of the game since the beginning of the game.

She, who loves to wander, probably gave a concise summary of Bai Ye's explanation.

──Anyway, just roll the dice!

So we had to explain the rules of the game to Lian'er again.

Then, we played the Misty Forest in the afternoon, and the team led by Bai Ye won all the games.

This is the concept of a veteran bullying a rookie.

……

24. Take a walk! Important task! (Lian Er)

(Lian Er)

No one ever told me that gaming would be so difficult.

There is no way for all four players to win in a game.

Either the Death Dryad falls, or the adventurers fail.

When someone gains, someone loses.

The loser always inevitably reveals a bitter smile, while the winner looks overjoyed.

"Why do we need to defeat it?"

I asked Sister Xiaolan using my half-baked sign language.

"Because that's the rule of the game."

Sister Xiaolan answered my question concisely. After the party, she began to clean up the slightly messy room, and she seemed to like to classify all kinds of things clearly. However, what was interesting was that she often forgot the location of those small items that she placed by hand, and when she really needed them, she would often stand there in distress for a long time.

After helping Sister Xiaolan clean up her room, I quickly forgot about the board game.

It was now dusk, and Sister Xiaolan seemed to be feeling unwell. After packing her things, she lazily lay down on the bed. In a blink of an eye, she fell asleep and would probably not wake up until dinner time.

I stared at her sleeping face for a while, and then I felt a little bored.

"Let's go play with Spotted?"

As soon as I changed my mind, I walked out of the door lightly and slipped into Sister Bai Ye's room.

Sister Bai Ye returned to the living room and seemed to start another day's work. She noticed my presence but ignored me. I didn't disturb her either, but just looked around to see if Xiaoban was there.

"Hmm! Spotted!"

Xiaoban was daydreaming beside the fire. I walked over, patted his head, and put a leash on him.

As soon as I put on the leash, Xiaoban understood that I wanted to take him out for a walk. He immediately stuck out his tongue happily and kept wagging his tail at me. He looked like he really enjoyed going out for a walk.

After nodding to Sister Bai Ye, I took Xiao Ban out the door.

In order to avoid worrying Sister Xiaolan and the others, the dog walking route is fixed in the area near the stone house. Because it is a commercial area, the streets are still bustling even on cold days. As long as you don’t walk into dark alleys, you should not encounter strange bad guys.

"Uh-huh?"

Xiaoban's route was the same as usual, but today there were strangely many onlookers gathered on the dusk road. The crowds were standing on both sides of the road, and in the middle of the road there was a blue-haired fox girl with heavy white makeup on her face.

The blue-haired fox girl was wearing a non-mainstream outfit with orange as the main color but mixed colors. Her every move had an indescribable weirdness and humor, often making the audience around her laugh. According to sister Blanny's earlier description, a weirdo like the blue-haired fox should be a worker called a clown.

Although I really wanted to stay and watch the show, walking the dog was obviously a more important task.

Sister Xiaolan said that if Xiaoban didn’t go out for a walk, his paws would become unhealthy.

For the sake of Xiaoban's health, I must get through the road ahead.

However, the people watching the clown show filled the spaces on both sides of the sidewalk. In order to avoid taking other people's belongings again, I didn't want to squeeze into the crowd. If I didn't squeeze into the crowd, Xiaoban and I would have to pass by the clown show.

"It always feels like a hassle."

I looked at the clown fox girl from afar and thought silently.

In the end, I still took Xiaoban's hand and walked over.

I tried my best not to look at the clown fox girl so that our eyes wouldn't meet.

Unfortunately, their eyes met again.

Xiaoban and the fox girl's eyes met...

Wang Wang Wang!

At this time, the clown fox girl was kneeling on all fours like a dog, her face wrinkled terribly, and she kept barking at Little Spot.

Not to be outdone, Little Spot showed off his powerful voice in public and barked back at the clown fox girl.

From a third party's perspective, they are just two walking dogs that meet on a narrow road.

Hahahaha──

There was laughter from the audience all around.
