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

Chapter 380, 1.25, 3: The Rabbit Duke's Crazy Tea Party
"Very interesting rules," Shui Qi said thoughtfully, looking at the green life bar in front of her and the number 3 next to it.

Just as he was speaking, the 3 turned into a 2, seemingly indicating that it was his turn to count down.

There weren't many players in the lobby. It was clear that everyone had initially chosen to go around from the lawn to the back garden, but accidentally stepped on a trap and were forced to enter through the chimney. This resulted in them all starting the game from the middle, while there was almost no one at the starting point.

It's not that you're guaranteed to lose if you start from the beginning. This isn't a game of speed. Considering it takes three hours to reach the back garden, there's still plenty of time.

The game offers many opportunities to succeed: collect 3 golden carrots, step on a surprise tile, or calculate the number of tiles on the map to reach the finish line.

However, event grids must have special events that change the current map grid; otherwise, the description of map grids would not state that you can only see the 'current' map and that you cannot stay on a map grid.

Besides the event grid, the counter grid also concerned him, since it might overlap with the event grid. However, based on the description, he could deduce that the counter grid actually had a range.

In other words, the event grid is for a single individual, while the counting grid may be for everyone within a range. Although there is only one grid, some grids around the current grid will be counted within the range that must be endured after the event is triggered.

"As for dice, is it possible for special dice to appear?" Mu Yegui asked softly after watching the player in front of her move at least eight or nine spaces in one go.

“That’s certainly possible,” Shui Qi nodded in agreement.

However, a large number of dice will inevitably have a small side that is negative, otherwise the game would not be balanced. But that doesn't mean that regular dice are bad; regular dice have their advantages, and special dice have theirs.

Regular dice are easier to control and reach the nearest square, while special dice can move far ahead or back to a square you've already passed but regret wanting to go to.

There's nothing wrong with the dice, and there's nothing wrong with them. The key is how the player who gets them uses them wisely.

Thinking of this, the number in front of Shui Qi changed from 1 to 0.
A large white die, 50cm in length, width, and height, with the numbers 1-6, appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Shui Qi reached out and lightly touched the dice, which began to roll in the air on its own, but did not stop. So he touched it again, and the dice slowly came to a stop, revealing the number 3.
It's not too big or too small, just right in the middle. There are many squares in front of Shui Qi, but most of them are ordinary gray squares. However, there are indeed squares of other colors that you can reach in three steps.

The countdown ticked away, and Shui Qi took a few steps forward before finally stopping on the yellow coin square.

He saw a round gold coin with a golden carrot drawn on it below his lifeline: [Radish Coin x3].
I see, this Monopoly game is indeed quite interesting.

Mu Yegui watched as Shui Qi moved three squares to the coin square, blinked, and turned to Xie Er, saying, "It looks like there are a lot of gray squares, but if you look closely at the other squares, they are actually quite evenly distributed. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of game segment."

“Meyas is quite playful,” Sher said slowly.

"I heard that Mayas is very good-looking, is that true?" Mu Yegui asked as he pressed the dice that were bouncing in front of him.

Sher's expression softened, and he asked softly, "Am I not good-looking enough?" His tone was slightly aggrieved. If Mu Yegui had said he wasn't good-looking, he might have burst into tears on the spot.

"Shel is very handsome." Mu Yegui walked five squares and stood on a regular square, saying softly.

“Then you can just look at me, my dear. Don’t look at the other bugs. They’re not pretty at all.” Sher ignored the rules and walked up to Mu Yegui, looking down at her as he spoke slowly.

"Why are you following me if you're not going to participate?" Mu Yegui stared at Xie Er with disdain.

Sher: "..." Someone silently retreated back to the starting point, forcibly restarted the dice-rolling mode, and then used a six to take a detour to Mu Yegui's side.

“I played,” Shel said matter-of-factly, as if he wasn’t the one who had just broken the rules.

Mu Yegui glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Actually, I was too lazy to explain, since she already knew Sher's character.

Calling him arrogant is an understatement; he's a shameless sycophant who can justify any rule-breaking behavior with a straight face. He's a prime example of abusing his power, albeit in a negative way.

"You can reach the event grid at five o'clock," Shui Qi reminded her.

Mu Yegui shook her little head and said softly in her sweet, childlike voice, "I plan to play slowly. It's not very interesting if event tiles appear too early. I'm a little curious about what punishment tiles look like, and I want to trigger them to see..."

Shui Qi's lips twitched slightly. Is this the legendary thrill-seeking boss?

"What's your life bar number?" Shui Qi asked with a light laugh.

“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… that seems like a lot…” Mu Yegui reached out and tapped the numbers on the health bar, speaking slowly.

Shui Qi glanced thoughtfully at his four-digit health bar, thinking that he was still within the realm of humanity, while this one was no longer human. No wonder he had to actively nerf Mu Yegui in every dungeon. He hadn't really believed it before, but now he did.

If Mu Yegui isn't nerfed, no one else can run the dungeon; his very existence is a bug.

"How many lives does Sher have?" Mu Yegui turned to look at Sher and asked softly.

“Less than you,” Sher shook his head and said.

"I thought Sher would have more than me," Mu Yegui said, puzzled. Did the NPCs' lifespans at this time actually equal those of the players? Or did they not receive a bonus?
“There is nothing with a longer life bar than yours,” Shel chuckled softly, speaking slowly with a touch of gentleness in his voice.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. She felt that Xie Er's words had a deeper meaning. Was it just her imagination?

"Aaaaaaah!" A scream rang in my ears, and at the same time the ground began to shake.

All the players saw was a player standing on a red penalty square screaming. The floor of the hall slowly cracked open, revealing a bronze rabbit statue that was about three meters tall, wearing armor and holding a shield and an axe.

With each step, the ground trembled and cracks appeared in the floor, moving step by step toward the player standing on the red penalty square.

The poor player who was stepped on while passing by was crushed into a meat patty, with red and white liquid flowing all over the ground.

This so-called Monopoly game was only now being revealed for its cruelty.
