Chapter 382 The Lifting Game

three days later.

In the lobby of Community 17, a broadcast notification appeared on the large screen announcing the start of the game.

Good morning, players!

The gallery will open in 5 minutes.

The game is titled "Lifting Game" and is classified as an elimination game.

[The following players are required to participate in this community: Zhou Guifen and Fu Chen.]

[A limited number of spots are available for this game; participants will be randomly selected from all registered players.]

However, the following conditions must be met to register and participate:

[Age under 30 or over 50.]

Please prepare yourselves, players.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally, the game invitation still surprised many people.

Fu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then felt somewhat relieved.

If other players were forced to enter, he would probably be the first to volunteer.

But since he was forced to enter this time, there's no need to dwell on it.

Zheng Jie subconsciously looked at Zhou Guifen: "What's going on with this game invitation? Why did Aunt Zhou get chosen again!"

Actually, he had wanted to complain before that the game invitation rules were very unfair, with some people getting richer and others getting poorer.

Zheng Jie himself had actually participated in four games in a row: "April Fool's Game", "Shelter Game", "Simple Questions and Answers" and "Game of Choice".

If he gets forced to choose again this time, he'll really be furious.

Zhou Guifen's situation was slightly better than his, but not by much. She also participated in the "Shelter Game," "Simple Questions and Answers," and "Optional Game" in succession.

While the "selection game" is supposed to involve everyone, isn't entering four games in a row a bit too abstract?

But there's nothing we can do, because being forced to participate in this kind of game almost certainly means that your profile has been selected.

Different games have different selection criteria, and if some players happen to meet them every time, this kind of very unlucky situation can indeed occur.

Lin Sizhi was somewhat concerned about the name of this game.

"Lifting Game? What an abstract game name."

I have absolutely no idea what the specific rules or gameplay of the game are.

Lee In-sook quickly said, "There is no limit to the number of people who can sign up this time, but the selection will be random. If you meet the requirements, please sign up as much as possible."

That's what they say, but it still takes a lot of courage to volunteer to enter the "elimination game".

The five-minute countdown was short, and time ticked by second by second.

Wang Yongxin shrugged. He didn't need to worry about this issue anymore, because his age didn't match.

Yang Yuting finally made up her mind to raise her hand.

After considering for a moment, Lin Sizhi also raised her hand.

Lee In-sook's age was just right, and she took a little longer to consider it, but in the end she raised her hand.

Cai Zhiyuan frowned, considering the matter until the very last second, but ultimately chose to give up.

As for players like Zheng Jie, Dai Yifan, and Qin Yao, their ages are all within the acceptable range, but they are clearly among the weaker players in the community. It's already good enough that they can protect themselves. If they rashly enter such a dangerous game, they might not be able to help and end up in danger themselves, which would be too embarrassing.

Zheng Jie looked at Fu Chen, hesitant. At the last moment, he chose to raise his hand, but the countdown reached zero at that very moment.

[Voluntary participants: Yang Yuting, Li Renshu.]

Upon seeing the final list, everyone's hearts sank, because Lin Sizhi had just been eliminated and could not enter the game.

Judging from the results, the four-person roster is somewhat poor, but there's nothing that can be done now.

The four players vanished from the lobby in an instant.

……

……

"Beep—" A sharp buzzing sound rang out, and Fu Chen instantly woke up.

Unlike previous games, this time he was in an indoor scene, which was not spacious and had only a dim chandelier on the ceiling, making the whole space feel cramped and oppressive.

Fu Chen felt his head was a little heavy. He reached up and touched it, and found that he was wearing a special device on his head.

The ring-shaped mechanism bound half of his head like a tight band, and there was something resembling an eye patch above his forehead, but it was currently raised so it wouldn't obstruct his vision for the time being.

However, on each side of the mechanism, there was a threaded spike aimed at the temple.

After touching the mechanism, Fu Chen felt a chill in his hands and feet.

Even the bravest person would find it difficult not to feel fear at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Chen discovered that his waist was also locked by a mechanism, fixed to the wall of this space.

On the ground directly in front of him, there was a conspicuous pull ring connected to an iron chain, which he could pick up within a very short distance by bending down.

Looking around, Fu Chen discovered that it was a hexagonal room, with one player locked on each wall, for a total of six people.

The other five people all looked very young, but Fu Chen didn't recognize any of them.

These people were also wearing the same traps as Fu Chen, and were locked to different walls, with a conspicuous pull ring connected to an iron chain in front of them.

In addition, each wall has a rusty iron door marked with a number from 1 to 6, but its purpose is currently unclear.

"Hello you all."

Fu Chen was the first to greet the other players, but no one responded.

Fu Chen didn't feel frustrated; he was already used to it. However, after looking at the entire venue, he came to a somewhat worrying conclusion.

"This game obviously has other venues as well."

It is known that four people from Community 17 entered this game. Fu Chen and Zhou Guifen were forced to enter, while Li Renshu and Yang Yuting signed up voluntarily.

It's not surprising that Li Renshu and Yang Yuting aren't visible, since the players who volunteered are likely participating as 'spectators'.

The audience can see the players inside, but the players inside cannot see the audience. This is consistent with common game rules, as seen in previous games such as "King's Trial," "Birth Trial," and "Sanctuary Game."

But Zhou Guifen was nowhere to be seen, which was somewhat unusual.

A more plausible explanation is that the scene Fu Chen was in was not the only inner area in the game, and Zhou Guifen was also in another inner area.

They are all inside players, but they face different game content, and it is highly likely that they will not be able to communicate or cooperate.

Just then, the game rules appeared on the big screen.

But that's not all the rules of the game; it's just one simple rule.

【Hello, players.】

Now, please pick up the pull ring in front of you and keep it taut.

All the chains with the pull rings are interconnected, and the pulling force will gradually increase. The longer you hold on, the more 'starting funds' you will earn in the game.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly bent down and picked up the pull rings in front of them.

Although the waist is locked by a mechanism, making movement somewhat inconvenient, the distance of the pull ring is designed in advance.

Fu Chen gripped the pull rings with both hands, took a deep breath, and got ready.

After a short wait, the chain connected to the pull ring made a rattling sound and quickly tightened!

The chains of these pull rings were all connected to the ground, and they quickly became taut in a straight line, but fortunately the force was relatively light at the beginning.

All six players gripped the pull rings, remaining silent.

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Guifen appeared in another game area.

There were no mechanical restraints on them, and the place they were in looked quite cozy, set up like a normal rest room.

There are six players here, including her.

However, these people all looked quite old, around forty or fifty years old.

This was the first time Zhou Guifen had met so many people her age in the new world.
