I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 357 1.23 20 Paper Cutting
the other side.

While Ling Tong, Ke Ya, and Yu Yin were discussing the dungeon, they suddenly saw that a realistic building had appeared in the empty space, filling every gap perfectly and compactly.

"I see," Ling Tong said knowingly. "The other half of the dungeon should indeed be like this, otherwise there's no way to unlock the story."

"What do you mean?" Ke Ya frowned and asked.

"To unlock the storyline, you need to cook food, and cooking food requires fire. Paper is most afraid of fire, so this is how the loophole is filled." Although he thought the other half should also be related to paper, it was still hard for the owner of the dungeon to deliberately make the paper look like a realistic model.

The stage is set up, and it's almost time to start the real dungeon raid.

When the city lord ruled this city, he was a great man.

He stole three bags of flour to make a large loaf of bread.

The city lord made bread with lots of raisins in it.

They also put in a large pat of cream, about the size of my two thumbs.

The lady ate her share, as well as the portions meant for her servants.

【…】

"So who should do this?" Bertias and two others walked slowly towards them from a distance, and he said with a light laugh.

"Leaving aside the first sentence, the second sentence specifically uses the word 'steal,' which contradicts the hidden content of the fifth and seventh lines of the copy rules, but perfectly matches the eighth rule."

"Steal three bags of flour? We'll have to wait until we can get them from the merchant," Koya whispered.

"I think the next one will definitely drop flour, because the dungeon has merged. I can't really explain why, it's just a feeling," Beltias said with a light laugh, stroking her smooth chin.

"Then let's wait. The merchants will be here tomorrow." Ke Ya thought of something, and her expression turned somewhat grim. "I'll be going now."

"What's wrong with her?" Bertias blinked, puzzled.

"They probably thought you resembled Shui Qi, so they came up with some unpleasant thoughts," Ling Tong replied casually, then nodded to Mu Yegui as a greeting before turning and leaving.

Bertias watched the two figures leave and said in confusion, "Looks like the vice president? They don't look alike at all. I'm much thinner and weaker than the vice president, I don't have his masculinity at all."

With long hair, thin arms, and a slender build, Bertias gave off an image of someone who could be blown away by a gust of wind, completely lacking the robust and strong feel that a man usually possesses. From behind, he actually looked more like a girl than Lan Xiao.

"Does Shui Qi have any masculine charm?" Mu Yegui suddenly asked.

“Is it not true? Am I the only one who thinks so?” Bertias asked in surprise.

“You’re all alone,” Lan Xiao added.

"Hey, hey, hey? Do you all know the vice president? I was trying to help the vice president establish a tall and mighty image, but I failed." Beltias said slowly with a bitter face.

Lan Xiao: "..." So the previous sentence was just to bluff them?
Bertias placed his hands behind his back, bent slightly in a casual manner, and looked at Lan Xiao with a smile, asking, "Xiao-mei, would you like to go for a walk with me? I don't have anything to do right now."

Lan Xiao was slightly taken aback, subconsciously nodding before suddenly realizing she had agreed to a date with Bertias, her face instantly turning bright red. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands, unsure where to look. "Be careful on the road," Mu Yegui waved to the two of them.

"Mmm." Lan Xiao nodded, her face flushed, and then followed Bertias.

The two walked down the bustling street, with Bertias in front and Lan Xiao blushing as she followed behind.

Bertias glanced at Lan Xiao, who was too shy to approach, and smiled slightly. He slowed his pace and waited for Lan Xiao to come up.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked with a light laugh, his blue-gray eyes fixed on Lan Xiao.

"There's nothing there!" Lan Xiao turned her head away shyly and said softly.

“Is that so?” A sly glint flashed in Berthias’s eyes. He held out his clenched fists and said to Lan Xiao, “Guess which one has the embroidered coin.”

Lan Xiao was slightly taken aback. Due to the professional habits she had developed in the Entertainment Kingdom, her expression instantly calmed down when she saw the riddle. She began to think about Beltias's question.

Generally speaking, if you have something in your hands, the tightness of your grip will definitely differ between the two hands. However, if one hand is deliberately loosened, it becomes difficult to judge from this perspective.

Given Berthias's intelligence, it's unlikely he would make a basic mistake, so he would definitely mislead her by deliberately relaxing the fingers of his empty hand as if he were grasping something inside, when in reality there was nothing there.

Therefore, you should choose the hand with the taut fingers at this time.

However, considering that Bertheas would anticipate she wouldn't fall for the trick and would choose the hand with clenched fingers, he might do the opposite. That is, he would deliberately make her think that way, but in reality, there would be nothing in the clenched hand, and the item would be in the relaxed hand.

In other words, you should choose your left hand.

Lan Xiao stared intently at Bertias's left hand, but when it came time to choose, she suddenly rejected her own answer.

Wait a minute! What if Bertheas is thinking this on purpose? Maybe he doesn't have anything in either hand, and is just trying to trick her...

I have absolutely no idea what to choose...

"Xiaomei? Have you made your choice?" Beltias asked softly, looking at Lan Xiao with a light laugh.

"Wait a little longer, it's not here yet." Lan Xiao said dismissively, her mind already filled with a series of negative thoughts.

Bertias's smile was a little awkward. He hadn't expected Lan Xiao to guess so seriously. Actually, he had embroidered coins in both of his hands; he just wanted to tease her.

"Are you sure you really have embroidered coins?" Lan Xiao frowned and looked up at Bertias, asking.

“I’m sure,” Bertias nodded.

"You won't deliberately raise your hand after I've made my choice, let the embroidered coin roll into your sleeve, and then open it up to show me your empty hand?" Lan Xiao asked again.

"Xiaomei... what kind of distorted image do I have in your heart... am I that insidious... this is something only a vice president would do..." Beltias said helplessly, he didn't think that way at all.
It was originally just a game meant to cheer Lan Xiao up, so how did it turn into a conspiracy theory in her mouth?

Is he really that bad?
