Chapter 125

Ling Feng was the first to refuse the proposal to exchange personalities.

His expression held a trace of helplessness, as if he were facing a mischievous child. He asked Bai Xuechao if he knew what would happen if he lost his personality to someone else.

Bai Xuechao swung on the swing, nonchalantly answering him with two possibilities, and said, "That sounds quite exciting too."

[Two possibilities, walking corpse pass, slave can be! (Little face all yellow) (Shy)]

[Give my personality to Axue-baobei, I'm willing to be Axue-baobei's slave, he can do whatever he wants to me. (Little face all yellow)]

[? Sister, you can even drive on this broken road? This is the comment section, not a no-man's-land!]

[Hehe, it really is exciting! No matter if it's Brother Hao, Maomao, or Axue, whoever becomes whose slave, I'll probably get a nosebleed! (Wiping saliva)]

[To the person above, why are you wiping saliva if you have a nosebleed??]

[What if Brother Hao becomes Gong Ting's slave? (Devil's whisper)]

[Ahhh, go away! (Waving hand in disgust) That's a ghost story! Brother Hao is the male lead, don't you understand plot armor! (Roaring)]

[I can accept the male lead losing his personality to Ling Feng, because Ling Feng won't harm him. I have reservations about him losing it to Bai Xuechao, but absolutely not to Gong Ting! I'll give it a bad review!]

[Sigh, what's the use of us being excited? They definitely won't agree to exchange personalities.]

In the manga, Ling Feng once again refused.

Bai Xuechao shrugged, looking as if he didn't care that his proposal was rejected, and asked Ling Feng what he thought they should exchange.

Ling Feng said, "Exchange our hair...?"

[I'm dying of laughter, the expressions of the other three are so funny! Even Axue was stunned, hahaha!]

[If we really have to exchange hair, whose hair is the most valuable? (Knocking on wooden fish)]

[That would definitely be Axue, he has white hair!]

[White hair is also a single color. If you ask me, Brother Hao's hair is rarer, right? It's a red-and-black hot-pot split color! One strand of hair with two colors, even a side-by-side split isn't this rare~]

[Hahaha, even hair color has a hierarchy of contempt now, right?]

Zhou Chenhao proposed to exchange kinship, and the other three agreed.

Bai Xuechao was the last to agree, but before he could finish speaking, the screen displayed the value of their kinship.

Seeing the amount displayed on the screen, the readers of the high-dimensional world were all shocked.

[?? Holy crap!]

[Ling Feng Maomao's kinship is 86 million, the highest in the room!]

[Gong Ting's is only 2000. In the flashback, his father has already been physically gotten rid of by him, so does this represent the value of his mother's kinship?]

[With Ling Feng's ridiculously high number as a comparison, I don't even know if Brother Hao's 2 million is considered a lot or a little.]

[Everyone, isn't the most shocking thing wifey! His kinship value is 0!!]

[Yeah! Why don't you guys talk about Axue! How can he be 0?!]

[Doesn't he have a brother and sister? It can't be 0. I have a scary guess... his family doesn't actually love him!]

[Calm down, calm down, his brother is so good to him, how could he not love him? Could it be that something happened to them? (Tears)]

[What could have happened for his kinship to become 0? Could they have been... offed...]

The readers' "premonition" was quite accurate.

In the manga, Zhou Chenhao also asked Bai Xuechao in disbelief, "You don't have any kinship?"

In the next panel, Bai Xuechao, sitting on the swing, spread his hands, with no trace of sadness on his face, indicating that all his relatives had passed away.

Zhou Chenhao immediately apologized, but Ling Feng, as if catching a loophole, questioned Bai Xuechao, saying that he had just seen his brother a week ago.

The manga here was a close-up of Bai Xuechao's expression. He tucked his sideburns behind his ear with one hand, his smile brighter than a clear sky, but he repeated what he had just said. In the dialogue bubble next to him, not only was there a pause mark between the two characters of "all," but the font was also twice as large. The readers could almost feel from the text and the picture how Bai Xuechao had said it with a brilliant smile, word by word, with added emphasis.

The next panel was a close-up of Ling Feng's stunned expression.

The panel after that was still a brightly smiling Bai Xuechao, saying that his brother had passed away three days ago.

Thus, Ling Feng also joined the apology team.

[Ling Feng Maomao waking up in the middle of the night: I really deserve to die.]

[Axue's relatives have all passed away?! I just fell in love with his handsome brother, and now I'm a cyber widow??]

[Wuwuwu, I feel so bad for my Xue wifey. His brother and sister, who he depended on, have both passed away. He's all alone in this world.]

[The more he smiles, the more upset I feel. It's like he's forcing a smile to hide his sadness QAQ]

The manga showed a Q-version drawing of Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng's psychological activities.

Two super cute two-head-tall little figures were covering their faces, their eyes wide and round, their mouths open in a small triangle, just like the famous painting "The Scream."

However, Ling Feng's little figure had a more dazed expression, while Zhou Chenhao's little figure was more emotionally outward and on the verge of a breakdown.

Bai Xuechao smiled warmly and said it was okay, and even said that if he missed them, he would just go see them, implying that he would go die.

Zhou Chenhao exclaimed in shock, "Don't do anything rash!"

[Did Axue come to the Dream Game City to seek excitement because all his relatives have passed away?]

[I suspect that wifey really doesn't want to live anymore. Don't forget what he exchanged his game coins for... Losing his personality might be a relief for him, so he won't have to miss his brother and sister.]

[Wuwu, wifey, don't! You still have me!]

[Have skilled readers already learned to stab themselves with their own speculations? (Smoking emoji)]

[Yikes, am I the only one who thinks Axue doesn't look like he wants to die, but is just joking around with Brother Hao and the others? (Touching chin)]

[You're not alone in the front!]

Bai Xuechao's kinship value was zero, so they had to think of something else to exchange.

Bai Xuechao asked Gong Ting what he thought they should exchange, but Gong Ting asked him a strange question, does personality include self-dominion?

After getting an affirmative answer, Gong Ting expressed his support for exchanging personalities.

The manga turned the camera to Ling Feng, who was thinking. His inner monologue expressed that he did not want to exchange personalities, because he could not imagine what it would be like after losing his personality to someone else. Finally, he proposed to exchange friendship.

When the screen showed the value of everyone's friendship, the readers were shocked again.

[Holy moly...]

[Jade Liquor's friendship value is 0? Huh? He doesn't have a single friend?]

[Brother Hao has 197.5 million, Ling Feng has 326 million, but the two of them combined can't compare to Axue's 668 million! (Maomao shocked)]

[Wifey has so many friends??]

The manga turned the camera to Gong Ting.

Gong Ting looked surprised. Through his inner monologue, the readers learned that the friendship value of special ability users is much higher than that of ordinary people, and that one of the factors for measuring the value of friendship may be the strength of the friend. His mind was filled with doubts about "Dongfang Bubai."

[A row of question marks above Gong Ting's head, hhh, little friend, do you have many questions~ (singing)]

[Woc, does wifey know all the special ability users in the world? The value is so high =A=]

[Even Jade Liquor suspects that he controls a special ability organization. (Laughing and crying)]

[Maybe it's true...]

Friendship was also not an option.

Gong Ting said that if they couldn't think of anything else in one minute, they would exchange personalities.

He was still thinking to himself that if he could get Zhou Chenhao's personality, the leader of the Apocalypse Society might give him his freedom back.

[Touching, he still remembers to redeem his freedom even at this point ( . )]

[I didn't expect Brother Hao's personality to be so sought-after, Gong Ting wants it too. As expected of the male lead. (Doge)]

[Wifey wants it, Jade Liquor wants it too, these two can have a fight.]

There was only one minute left. Ling Feng was thinking, and Zhou Chenhao raised his hand: "Love!"

In the manga, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked him, you have love? He even asked him, has someone confessed to you?

Zhou Chenhao: "Ah, this... yes."

In the next panel, Ling Feng became a Q-version, his azure eyes became two dot-eyes, and a big question mark hung beside his head.

The readers' reaction to this matter was very "enthusiastic."

[Who is it! Ahh, tell me who it is!!]

[Three minutes, I want all the information on that young lady or young man!]

[...Wait, young man?]

[After all, gender shouldn't be too rigid!]

[No! You can't! Hao-zai, Mommy won't allow you to be in a relationship! (Beating chest) (Crying)]

[I can ship my own CPs, but I don't want an official pairing, ahh!]

[Official pairing? If there's going to be one, it should be Chenxi! Xiao Xi, your husband is about to run off with someone else!]

[Everyone calm down (wiping sweat), Bai old scoundrel didn't show a confession scene, which means Brother Hao rejected them. It's an unimportant plot point, Brother Hao is definitely still a single dog.]

[Don't worry, if this kid was really in a relationship, he would have started showing off like crazy by now, right?]

[Hahaha, you're right, he'd be showing off so much that all the single dogs would beat him up.]

Turning the page, Bai Xuechao's words also shocked the readers: "Well, I guess no one likes me."

[I like you! Wifey, I like you!]

[My baobei is so good-looking, how can no one like him!]

[Axue still has me! I'm an only daughter, I have a house and a car, and I'll inherit the family business next year. Axue, marry me! (Little face bright red)]

[To the sister in front, marry me first, I don't want to work hard anymore QAQ]

Gong Ting nodded: "Me too."

Zhou Chenhao urged them to give it a try, what if someone had a secret crush on them.

Ling Feng thought that if they couldn't exchange love, they could only exchange personalities, so he also agreed.

The screen displayed the value of their love.

[??? Little friend, do you have many question marks?]

[How many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?]

[Jade Liquor is at negative 500! How can there be a negative number, hahaha!]

[Ling Feng Maomao's love value is 30 million! Brother Hao only has 2 million! You little rascal, you're hiding your talents!!]

[Hahaha, I think it's very normal. After all, Ling Feng's setting is "recognized as handsome by both men and women"! Of course, people like him because he's handsome!]

[The important thing is Axue! He's really 0!]

[No! How can no one like my wifey!! Beautiful boys are the treasures of the world! If you don't want him, I'll take him!]

[Who said no one wants him, me, me, me! Marry Axue to me! (Frantically raising hand)]

[Xue-zai has people who like him! You guys forgot about the female ghost and the ghost king from the Marine Amusement Park, didn't they both have their eyes on Xue-zai! (Doge)]

[Hahaha, do special ability creatures count too! (Laughing hysterically)]

In the manga, Zhou Chenhao smiled and teased Ling Feng, even calling him a "playboy."

Ling Feng explained that he didn't know, no one had ever confessed to him.

Bai Xuechao smiled and stabbed him with a knife, saying that if he were a girl, he would also have a secret crush on Ling Feng.

[Hahaha, playboy! Ling Feng: I'm so wronged.]

[I'm dying of laughter at Brother Hao's jealous face.]

[Why do I feel like Brother Hao is jealous? It's like he's saying "Heh, man, you're being a sea king and raising fish behind my back"!]

[The important thing is what Axue said!]

[Spread the word, Axue is a girl and has a secret crush on Ling Feng. (Doge)]

[Spread the word, Axue is cross-dressing as a man to pursue Ling Feng. (Doge)]

[Spread the word, Axue has locked Ling Feng in a little black room. (Doge)]

[? Wait, the one in front jumped a bit too far!]

Zhou Chenhao asked Bai Xuechao why he didn't have a secret crush on him.

Bai Xuechao said that he lost in terms of being high-class, and he wasn't cool at all.

The next panel was a Q-version of Zhou Chenhao. The two-head-tall little figure had a petrified special effect, an arrow stuck in his chest, and the HP value above his head showed 0. The dialogue bubble seemed to be a soul coming out of his mouth as he asked, "Isn't it good that I'm approachable?"

[Funny guys have no love, hahaha! (Knocking on wooden fish)]

[What's with this strange atmosphere of a tense situation, haha, this is a hot-blooded shonen manga, not a shoujo manga! (Laughing and crying)]

[Ling Feng only looks like a cool guy, but in fact, he has a lot of little expressions. He's a pure i-person little brother who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside! (Heart eyes sticking out tongue) (Drooling)]

[Pure young man, hahaha, you're right!]

[The first time I saw Ling Feng, I also thought he was so handsome. Now... my meme collection has a lot to thank him for ( . )]

Ling Feng brought the topic back and asked why there was a negative number.

Gong Ting replied that it might be his ex-girlfriend who had a love-hate relationship with him.

[Can hate also be counted as love? (Doge)]

[What if she's a yandere? She loves him so much she wants to kill him.]

[If a yandere loves him, she'll love him to death, how could she want to kill him? (Wiping sweat)]

[To the person in front, think about Makoto. (Afraid to make a sound)]

At present, none of the things that had been estimated were suitable. Bai Xuechao had a pleased expression and said that it seemed they could only exchange personalities now.

Zhou Chenhao couldn't help but retort, why did he look so happy.

Bai Xuechao said, "Because it's exciting."

Gong Ting also supported exchanging personalities, and Ling Feng finally agreed as well.

Thus, the screen displayed the value of their personalities.

[So this is what was displayed on the screen in the background of the cover image!]

[Their personalities are all quite valuable, even Gong Ting has 80 million.]

[Can anyone tell me, am I hallucinating? (Rubbing eyes) The value of the three of them's personalities combined can't even compare to the value of Axue's personality alone??]

[655 million! Shocking! Converted to coins, that's 6.55 billion!]

[I feel like the male lead and Ling Feng's 200 million-plus is the normal price for a special ability user's personality. It's Bai Xuechao's that's too high. (Shocked)]

They exchanged their personalities. After the screen finished counting their game coins, it asked them to state their requirements for the Dream Game.

Ling Feng was the first, proposing that victory could not be obtained through cheating; Bai Xuechao proposed that it had to be exciting enough; Zhou Chenhao said it had to be simple and rely on luck; Gong Ting was the last, proposing that mutual help be prohibited.

The game space changed again. The readers who had not yet turned the page all used bullet comments to make their guesses about what game would be generated.

On the next page, the manga used several panels to show the changed place.

First, the four of them's swings moved backward, and the screen became a huge screen in the middle of the four of them; secondly, the chains of the swings became hemp ropes, and many hemp ropes also hung down from the top diagonally; finally, the ground could finally be seen below, and the sharp and long metal spikes glittered under the illumination of the wall lamps.

[Holy crap, what's that thing down there? Are they going to be skewered?]

[Come one, come all, don't miss out~ Fresh meat skewers, both carnivorous and omnivorous special ability users have them~ (Sprinkling cumin)]

[Hahaha, the sister in front is a devil!!]

Continuing to turn the page, the generated game finally revealed its true face, displayed on the screen—

Encyclopedia Knowledge Quiz.

In the next panel, the four of them all became Q-version little people, with dot-eyes and triangular mouths, expressionless, with a row of ellipses above their heads.

Zhou Chenhao was the first to complain.

[Hahaha, Brother Hao is having a breakdown. How is encyclopedia knowledge simple! Bad review, what happened to relying on luck!]

[Is it possible that this is because of the request made by Ling Feng, Maomao? If you can't rely on cheating, then you can only rely on your own brain.]

[Ling Feng: Afraid to make a sound.]

[My wifey is even laughing, could it be that he's laughing out of anger?]

[Gong Ting's psychological activity is the funniest. He hasn't studied, this game is practically the death of him, but he can't complain, because it's his special ability, hahaha!]

[Screwed over by his own special ability. (Nodding)]

The next two pages were all about explaining the rules.

The readers were also discussing the rules.

[Extracted from the cognition of all players in the Dream Game City? What a magical way of setting questions, but what if there are wrong cognitions?]

[Choose me! My brain is full of yellow waste! (Not righteous but still proud)]

[Goodness, pulling ropes. Brother Hao, what you wanted, relying on luck, is here. (Doge)]

[If you're unlucky, you'll pull the system rope right away...]

[If a player falls, they're out. With such long spikes below, are you sure this is being out, not being sent to your funeral?]

[Questions that are given up will be given to the next person. If you encounter a particularly difficult question, you can use it to screw over the next person.]

[How can you be sure that the next person won't know? What if they do?]

[And there's only one winner, ahhh! No, won't Brother Hao and Maomao have to kill each other!]

[Don't be afraid, at worst, they can choose to actively withdraw from the game.]

After the rules, the number of ropes for each person and the remaining game coins were displayed.

[Holy crap, Gong Ting and Axue have 12 and 29 ropes respectively.]

[Brother Hao and Ling Feng only have 6 and 4, which is only 10 combined. How are they supposed to play against them??]

[Don't forget, this number of ropes also includes the system ropes, so their safety ropes are actually 4 and 2 ( . )]

[I have to believe in miracles! (Wearing sunglasses and crying)]

[To be honest, between Brother Hao and Maomao, I feel like Maomao has a higher chance of winning.]

After Zhou Chenhao confirmed with Ling Feng that he had four safe ropes, he began to complain with a sad face, even thinking to himself that he would be a meat skewer down there in less than a few minutes.

Although Gong Ting's expression didn't show anything, his inner monologue had already revealed his depression. He felt that he would encounter book knowledge that he didn't know.

[Don't look at Brother Hao like this now, he'll definitely kill it later! (Wearing sunglasses and crying)]

[To the person in front, take off your sunglasses when you speak.]

[Gong Ting's inner monologue tells us that people must study, knowledge is power. (Doge)]

At this time, Ling Feng asked Gong Ting if he would get an explanation if he asked the system a question.

After getting an affirmative answer, he asked the system how to judge whether the knowledge was correct.

The system explained that it would be verified in the cognition of other players.

[It has to be Ling Feng, Maomao, who solved my confusion =w=]

[I'm relieved, otherwise I was always afraid that the answer to the question would be wrong, that would be so annoying.]

The system asked if the other players had any more questions. Zhou Chenhao raised his hand and asked, how did this game resemble his request of "winning by luck without using your brain"?

The system stated that the questions were multiple-choice questions.

[Hahahaha! Tell me if you can rely on luck or not!]

[There are only two options, a 50% chance of being correct! (Doge)]

[Brother Hao: Are you messing with me?]

Just as the system announced that the game would start in ten seconds, Bai Xuechao spoke up and asked a question again.

He actually asked if he could pull off his rope before the game started.

The system's wavy line straightened.

[?? Wifey, what are you thinking! The system is stunned, I'm stunned too...]

[He has 20+ safety ropes, that's an advantage, what does he want to do! (Screaming)]

[Is this the madness that someone mentioned before? I think it's okay.]

[To the person who's reading this for the second time, I'm telling you, you just wait and see. (Smoking)]

Zhou Chenhao said his question was very strange.

Ling Feng and Gong Ting were also looking at Bai Xuechao.

The system finally gave an answer, saying that it could be done, but it was not recommended, and asked if he had any doubts about the rules.

In the next panel of the manga, Bai Xuechao had a pleased curve on his lips. He pointed to his head and said that there was no problem with the rules, it was his head that had a problem.

Then he pulled one off, and was safe, and got game coins.

[Holy crap, I was shocked when I saw wifey pull off a rope directly! Good thing he didn't pull the system rope.]

[I'm dying of laughter, there are only 2 system ropes out of 29. How unlucky would you have to be to pull a system rope? I'd dare to pull it too, what's there to be afraid of? He's just showing off.]

[?? This person in front is so (sharp-tongued), what kind of person reads the same manga as me?]

[Bai Xuechao just knows how to show off. If you have the guts, pull 10. Let's see if he dares?]

[What's going on, wifey even has haters now? (Scratching head)]

Zhou Chenhao was shocked by Bai Xuechao's action and asked him why he wanted to pull off the rope.

Bai Xuechao's answer was actually that there were too many ropes and he wanted to pull some off.

Zhou Chenhao tried to persuade him, but he didn't respond. Instead, he pulled off another hemp rope, and was still safe, and got game coins.

Zhou Chenhao: "...Are you crazy?"

Bai Xuechao pulled off another one and answered with a smile, "Guess?"

[Crazy, really crazy. (Wiping sweat) He said he wanted to pull off some, how many does he mean by some...]

[It's already three now ( . )]

[It's only 3, if you have the guts, keep pulling.]

Even Ling Feng couldn't help but ask him if he knew what he was doing.

Bai Xuechao answered him while pulling off the rope, saying that he was very clear-headed, he just felt that there were too many ropes and it wasn't exciting enough.

[Counter: 4 now.]

[Wifey is looking for excitement, but I'm the one being stimulated! (Vomiting blood) (Clutching chest)]

[There shouldn't be a ridiculous plot where he pulls the system rope and falls, right? (Wiping sweat)]

[Are there few ridiculous plots in the simulated world? I'm laughing.]

[It's only 4, keep pulling. Once you pull the system rope, you can wrap it up.]

[What's going on today, why are there so many strange things popping up all of a sudden?]

[I know about this. Axue made it to the top 10 of the popularity chart today. The Green River Comic website and the three major accounts in the ACG circle all posted to congratulate him, and it even got on the hot list. The limelight overshadowed a certain manga next door that was celebrating a character's birthday, you know, so it attracted a bunch of strange species who were deliberately looking for trouble. Don't pay attention to them.]

Bai Xuechao was indifferent to people looking for trouble, he was just a little surprised that he had entered the top 10 of the popularity chart so quickly. If he remembered correctly, he was still in 13th place yesterday.

Logically speaking, because the number of votes in front was higher, it should be slower the higher he went.

In the manga content that has been updated so far, he hasn't done anything earth-shattering, has he?

"Wow, Host, you're in the top 10!" Xiao 6 frantically scattered flowers in Bai Xuechao's field of vision and said happily, "Congratulations, congratulations, you're one step closer to becoming a high-popularity character!"

Bai Xuechao was actually not very interested in this popularity chart and asked, "What's the use of being a high-popularity character?"

"Ah?" Xiao 6 was stumped, "Well... being popular and well-liked?"

Bai Xuechao said, "That's not very useful to me, is it?"

Xiao 6 immediately displayed a crying virtual two-head-tall little figure in front of Bai Xuechao, twisting its body, and a cute voice sounded, "But if the character is very popular and can break out of the circle, it can drive the popularity of the manga, ying..."

Bai Xuechao understood. He remembered Xiao 6 had said that if the manga was popular, it would get a bonus after the work was completed.

He said as a gesture, "Alright, for the sake of a certain system's bonus."

"Yay!" Xiao 6 held up a super big red heart, "Host, mwah, I love you!"

At this moment, Bai Xuechao's crimson eyes suddenly looked up at the ceiling, as if he were making eye contact with someone across the void, and asked, "Is the main plot of the manga more important, or is the popularity of the manga more important?"

Bai Guzi was actually online and replied immediately.

[Side quest: Both are important!]

[My little ancestor, what are you trying to do again QAQ Please don't mess around, my requirements are not high now. As long as you can complete more than 90% of the main plot and don't let me get scolded for plot holes, that's enough, wuwu. Of course, if you can increase the popularity of the manga on this basis, that would be even better.]

Xiao 6 immediately jumped out and wailed, "90%?! How could Bai Guzi have compromised!

She's changed! She's not the same person who furiously scolded the system just because a bug in the ending plot wasn't fixed successfully!"

Bai Xuechao made an OK gesture to the void.

Bai Guzi had no choice but to compromise. After all, 20% of her "dear son's" personality was still in his hands.

Moreover, he felt that Bai Guzi valued this manga so much, besides having to go back and inherit the family business if she got scolded again, there were other reasons. Unless he really went too far, Bai Guzi would not easily give up on this manga.

This was also good, it meant that there was still room for Bai Guzi to compromise.

Bai Xuechao continued to read the manga.

In the manga, Gong Ting applauded Bai Xuechao and said it was very exciting, hoping that he could pull a few more. He also said that he had too many ropes, which was not very fair.

Bai Xuechao smiled slightly and pulled another one.

In the next panel, the manga focused on a pair of pale and bony hands. Based on the skin color, it was not difficult to guess that these were Bai Xuechao's hands.

These hands gathered a large handful of ropes, and in the next panel, pulled them all off!

The manga ended here.

[Holy crap? Holy crap?? Wifey, you're being impulsive!]

[Damn it, why did the manga get stuck here?! Bai old scoundrel, update a little more, let me see how my wifey is doing!]

[Where are the people who said he had the guts to keep pulling? Come out! Open your dog eyes and look! (Going crazy) (Twisted)]

[Axue is so crazy, I love it, but his life is now uncertain ( . )]

[How many were in that handful, can anyone count?]

[Wifey shouldn't be so unlucky as to pull the system rope directly, right, wuwu QAQ]

[That's not necessarily true...]

Bai Xuechao closed the manga and entered the Pink Forum.
