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

Chapter 402, 1.25, 25: The Rabbit Duke's Crazy Tea Party
So-called fallacies refer to absurd, unrealistic, and impractical statements, but just because you haven't put them into practice doesn't mean they don't exist.

The line between falsehood and truth is very thin; the difference lies in whether one is put into practice or not. If a falsehood is put into practice, then it becomes the truth.

The paradox arises when two theories, each full of reason, contradict each other.

Mu Yegui said that Meyas was in the gift box, but Gentleman Rabbit said that the gift box was a prop for the Crown Prince. So who is right?

If Mayas was in the gift box, how did it get in? If it was a royal prop, why did the rules only say it was a gift box and not a royal prop? And why did Gentleman Rabbit lie?
Then a third theory emerged: Mayas wasn't in the gift box, and the gift box wasn't a royal prop, but who could prove that?

There won't be just one answer.

"Why do you think Mayas must be in the box?" it asked, unable to convince itself that Mu Yegui was right no matter how hard it tried.

"Then why do you feel he's not here?" Mu Yegui countered.

“There’s no reason for Mayas to go in by himself. The rabbit also said that the gift box was a prop for the crown prince,” it said softly.

"But you haven't actually gotten your hands on it and seen the detailed instructions. Why do you assume it's a royal prop just because it says so? Your judgment that there's no reason for Meyas to go in on his own is based on your past understanding of Meyas. But do you really understand the Meyas now? You're not him, and he couldn't possibly know what he's really thinking."

So, the answer eventually became: what exactly was that box?
the other side.

"Ah! What is this!" Olycia was rummaging through the box when a toy snake suddenly jumped out and startled her so much that she fell to the ground.

"Young Miss!" Upon hearing Olycia's scream, Jolin rushed over anxiously. But upon arriving, he saw what appeared to be a toy snake used only to frighten people, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.

"Get out of here! Why is there a toy snake hiding here to scare people!" Olivia got up, took several steps back in disgust, and said.

She genuinely hadn't expected there to be a scary toy. Anyone who's engrossed in searching for something and suddenly has a white, cold, striped thing jump out at them would definitely be startled. And who knows how this thing suddenly appeared?

She checked and there was nothing there, so where did this come from?
"A realistic snake? It's really well-made." Qiao Lin bent down to pick it up, pinched its belly with his fingers, and exclaimed.

"Throw this disgusting stuff away right away, it's filthy!" Olycia said, frowning.

"Didn't Miss say she wouldn't shout?" Qiao Lin asked.

"I just couldn't control myself for a moment," Olycia snorted and turned her head to say softly.

“Let’s change rooms,” Jolin nodded and said to Olycia.

“We haven’t finished searching this place yet,” Olycia said.

"The rules say that if the volume exceeds 10 decibels, the gift box will teleport away. Assuming it was already in this room before, it would definitely be scared away by the young lady's sudden scream, not to mention we're still talking here," Qiao Lin chuckled.

Moreover, 10 decibels is simply the biggest test.

因为10分贝是花开的声音，20到40分贝是钟表的滴答声，40到60分贝是说话声。

10 decibels is just enough for human hearing to detect a sound. In other words, unless you listen very carefully, you can't tell if you've made a sound that exceeds 10 decibels.

It's so quiet you can barely hear it. Normally, the noise level at night is around 20 decibels, just ambient sounds, but people can fall asleep and these are automatically ignored. So, under this explanation, 10 decibels is practically imperceptible, equivalent to 'dead silence'.

To be honest, Jolin thought he couldn't get the box in a noise level below 10 decibels; even the sound of a door opening would immediately disturb it.

"I know, I'll be gentler next time," Olycia said reluctantly, pursing her pink lips.

“Young Miss, I have a suggestion. Why don’t we go find the ‘antidote’ first?” Qiao Lin thought about it and still felt that finding the ‘antidote’ was more reliable.

"Why?" Olycia frowned.

“Rule number nine states that if the ‘antidote’ is not taken within an hour, the spider eggs inside us will hatch. So, the most urgent thing is to find the ‘antidote’ and take it. Miss wouldn’t want an annoying spider to hatch inside her, would she?” Qiao Lin said softly.

Upon hearing this, Olycia's expression changed, and she covered her mouth, saying uncomfortably, "How could I eat such disgusting things?"

"The problem must lie in that cup of black tea, because you can only continue the dungeon after drinking the black tea. According to the rules, we can deduce that there are spider eggs in the black tea, but no one has noticed this," Qiao Lin pondered.

Olycia felt so nauseous that she couldn't help but gag. She couldn't believe she had eaten such a thing, and she wished she could throw it all up.

"You'll be fine after drinking the 'antidote'," Jolin said softly, stroking Olycia's hair.

"The thought of eating such disgusting things makes me feel so dirty." Olycia's face was pale and she looked terrible, as if she couldn't accept it.

"Since the rules say we can steal gift boxes from other players, why don't we find the 'antidote' first and then steal the gift boxes from other players? Gift boxes won't run away from living creatures," Qiao Lin said as he pondered.

“But the 10-decibel requirement is too demanding. Is there really any player who can meet it?” Olivia asked, frowning.

"I can't be sure about others, but Mu Yegui can definitely do it." Although snatching the gift box from Mu Yegui is no less difficult than getting the gift box in an environment with a noise level below 10 decibels.

"Is she really that strong?" Olycia asked skeptically, pursing her lips.

"Does Miss still remember the twins surnamed Ming?" Qiao Lin asked.

"Yes, very strong. That Mingxi is simply monstrous." Olycia nodded, reluctantly admitting.

That defeat was truly unjust; they never expected Mingxi to appear under such circumstances and catch them completely off guard.

"Based on my assessment of Mu Yegui, her strength far surpasses that of the Gemini. Moreover, judging from the words of Shui Qi, the vice president of the Strategist Association, she has been the crown princess for a long time and definitely enjoys special privileges."

We already struggled enough dealing with the twins who weren't yet crown princes, so dealing with Mu Yegui, who is already a crown prince and even stronger than the twins, will be even more difficult. But even so, we still have to try.

Unlike the twins, Mu Yegui might have other methods besides robbery.

For example, transactions.
