T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 419, Section 418: Children are so easy to coax.
Answering 4 out of 7 questions correctly is a very good result in terms of proportion.

However, considering that not every player can have the value of the boundary between reality and illusion, the cost of answering incorrectly for two consecutive rounds may be that the number of challenge qualifications is reduced by 1.

However, since Xilu didn't say anything, the current level should allow players to give up, so the biggest problem players face is still getting stuck and dying.

Magic Mirror: "(`)"

"You really want history questions?"

This was truly an unusual behavior, and Zhong Zemo shrank back.

"Yes, yes."

Magic Mirror: "┑(￣Д￣)┍"

"Then let's have some history questions."

"Question 8: From the year 831 of Anna until the end of the Dodoret Plague, how many emperors reigned in the Anna Empire? Please write down at least one."

"..."

Magic Mirror: "(ˉ▽￣～)"

"Isn't this your favorite history question? Why didn't you answer it?"

Zhong Zemo was pondering whether killing the examiner would affect his chances of passing the level.

Because the Magic Mirror used the quilt's voice, in his mind, it was as if the cheeky quilt was standing opposite him...

Amidst the wonderful sounds of Jiang Heyi cursing and swearing in bed, he silently made a summary.

The Magic Mirror is not just a wooden NPC; players can interact with it to influence the types of questions, but whether the influence is good or bad is not up to the player.

The Magic Mirror is mischievous; he's like a rebellious teenager.

The strategy is already clear, and I imagine many of the spectators are also wondering what kind of dialogue would make this mischievous magic mirror behave.

Instead of letting the magic mirror randomly generate questions, it's more effective to guide it towards the opposing lane through dialogue.

Magic Mirror: "(≧≦)"

"Would you like some more history questions?"

Zhong Zemo hesitated for a moment, then said decisively, "Come on!"

The blanket showed its support with actions—it crawled into the shadows in advance and crouched at the spawn point where monsters were killed several times.

"Question 9: Anna's history has only one empress who was born a commoner. How many children did she have?"

What is her nickname?

Please answer at least one question correctly.

As soon as the magic mirror finished speaking, the spectators erupted in cheers.

If the question tests knowledge related to the game and focuses on gameplay mechanics that are relevant to players, the difficulty level is acceptable.

By jumping straight into the world-building and backstory, is this designed to prevent the participants from playing the game?
"The wolf queen, and two children," Zhong Zemo replied immediately.

"correct answer."

what?
Players focused on the storyline in the World Bubble were making a ruckus.

Because of the world faction war that opened up the boundary between the virtual and real worlds, the number of players in the Proof of the Stars storyline is huge, which has also given rise to Star Scholars, who specialize in summarizing various story outlines and directions.

They were curious as to why this continent had reached such a dangerous state of extreme conflict between the land and the ocean.

The fact that they could answer such a tricky question about the boundary between reality and illusion proves that they have gone much further than imagined in exploring Anna's storyline.

The two consecutive questions helped Jiang Heyi further understand the logic behind the Magic Mirror's inquiries.

Not only will it avoid asking highly technical questions, the Magic Mirror will also select questions that players have experienced and are likely to be able to answer in order to ensure a high success rate for their responses.

If the player makes consecutive mistakes, the questions asked by the Magic Mirror will likely become incredibly stupid.

9 out of 5.

Magic Mirror: "Want more?"

Zhong Zemo, who was in the room, also noticed the Magic Mirror's intention to pose a question, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"I'd like to answer some questions about animal types."

Magic Mirror: "()"

"But I think you prefer history-related questions~~~"

Unexpected, yet also within expectations.

You clearly express your desire, but it mischievously refuses to give it to you.

Even if it is given, it is a special type of question that distorts the idea.

It's like a twisted wish machine taking shape and being given a childlike mindset.

Having dealt with students for a long time, Zhong Zemo gradually figured out their behavioral patterns.

Question 10: The ancient Romans possessed a special sweetener that was sugar, but not entirely sugar. What was it?

Tetra clicked his tongue in amazement: "What special sweeteners could they have in ancient Rome? Surely the old farmer couldn't have shared the aspartame production process with them, could he?"

"It's sugar, but not entirely sugar. It really sounds like artificial sweeteners..." Orange Tea wondered, "Did such things really exist back then?"

Jiang Heyi glanced at the chat window. There are always experts out there. When he saw a skipped reply, he exclaimed that it was a hellish joke.

Zhong Zemo couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

"I know, it's a lead-containing beverage. If I have to choose one, I'd pick lead-containing grape juice."

Magic Mirror: "(), that's right, it's sweet lead~~~~"

"Huh?" The jailer blinked. "Lead...lead?"

The fries suddenly realized: "The ancient Romans liked to use lead containers. They did have the habit of heating and boiling grape juice in lead containers. It is said that storing it this way would give it a special sweetness... Of course, no one would try to taste it now."

He beheaded six robust half-dragon gladiators in his bed and wiped the blood splattered on his face.

"Is this magic mirror a fan of hellish jokes? I felt something was off ever since the Joan of Arc image."

Magic Mirror: "A magic mirror is just a magic mirror. A magic mirror doesn't know what a hellish joke is."

"()"

Let alone the boundary between reality and virtuality, even onlookers probably wouldn't believe it.

The person who designed the magic mirror was not only cunning and had a dark mind, but was also a top-notch con artist.

but……

Jiang Heyi wondered if the question bank that the Magic Mirror possessed was collected from the internet in their world.

What if its information source is corrupted, and the player happens to know the correct answer?
"I really want to try some animal-themed questions right now, please let me have a chance."

Magic Mirror: "Do you really want to?"

Zhong Zemo sensed the change in tone and immediately changed his words, becoming hesitant and awkward.

"It seems like I don't think that way anymore."

"But I came up with this kind of question!"

Question 11: Which mammal cannot jump?

Zhong Zemo was taken aback.

The blankets felt cold: "It's all over, it's all over."

As the quiz progressed, the quality of the monsters spawning on one side of the bed kept increasing.

Initially, they were just ordinary goblins; these small monsters posed a negligible threat to the bed.

Even if levels are introduced, the highest level is only 25.

Next to appear were trolls.

The initial version of the troll also did not have levels. As the quiz progressed, level 26 trolls began to join the battlefield.

And now, the bed is already fighting against the half-dragon who cultivates both magic and martial arts.

Fortunately, they don't refresh in large quantities, at most 6 per round.

If you answer the question incorrectly, you might get doubled all at once.

"Next date has to be at the zoo and the aquarium!" she thought to herself, gritting her teeth under the covers.

Zhong Zemo replied, "Elephant."

Magic Mirror: "Incredible, you actually know how."

“(ˇˇ)”

He explained, "When I was at the zoo with my ex-wife, I glanced at a sign in the park that had some interesting facts on it, and I wrote them down..."

The blanket kept blinking.

Now a trip to the zoo and aquarium is a must. I have to paint all of Du Jingwen's memories related to squid with my own colors!

Overlaying memory is imperative.

In the eyes of the weakened half-dragon demon warrior under the covers, he instantly grew into the appearance of Du Jingwen.

The jailer asked, puzzled, "Was it really necessary to use the 'Breaking Invisibility' attack? Shouldn't you have saved some energy?"

Jiang Heyi shrugged: "This is the safest way to fight. It's a level of combat that a reckless person like you can't understand."

The jailer stroked his chin: "Wasn't my performance on the previous floor enough to break the stereotype?"

French Fries sighed: "Who told you to always be a criminal player?"

"Alright, alright, they're done. Tea God and I will go first." The jailer rolled up his sleeves. "Guaranteed win, guaranteed to be a blood kill."

Orange Tea blinked and laughed.

"So I'll just answer casually, and you'll cover for me?"

The jailer immediately switched to a fawning tone: "Tea God, I was just kidding. You must interact well with the Magic Mirror and get the questions right."

After 11 questions, the magic mirror was figured out by Zhong Zemo, the teacher, who coaxed and followed its lead, allowing it to switch between history and animal-related questions.

Question 15~~~

"What is the birthday of the other person who is playing the game with you?"

""

Wow, the ultimate trick question.

From a naughty child to a little devil!
Zhong Zemo broke out in a sweat instantly; the intense tension reminded him of a "1".

Just when his brain was about to shut down, a glimmer of light appeared deep within his mind.

For no apparent reason, he remembered the night they confirmed their relationship, the night he stormed into his house on the very day they got into bed.

The two happened to be strolling around when they ran into Du Jingwen, who was staking out the place.

He stood with his hands on his hips and teased Du Jingwen until she broke down and left. The two of them wandered along the tree-lined path, which was being dragged along by the warm yellow streetlights.

"Although I have a feeling she'll keep bothering me, thank you anyway."

"If you do it again, I'll yell at you again." She clenched her fist in the blanket. "She was the one who didn't want you. I took her in, but she's still not happy about it. If you're not happy, then don't throw her away!"

Her words were full of affirmation for Zhong Zemo.

"Oh, by the way, please remember my birthday."

Zhong Zemo tilted his head.

"Didn't you say in the group chat before that Du Jingwen always forces you to make sure your birthday is special?" The woman in the blanket waved her hand, "I don't have any requirements in that regard."

"Oh, okay, so...when?"

As if struck by a sudden burst of clarity, Zhong Zemo slowly compared his memory of the bed with the present moment.

"May 3th."

The large, black rat darted out of the shadows, and the enemy in the field was a sub-adult flying dragon, with light cones resembling floating cannons locking onto it from beneath its broad wings.

She glanced at what was happening next door and heard Zhong Zemo recounting it while sweating profusely, and she couldn't help but laugh.

The shadow swirled around the field, and the level 35 sub-adult flying dragon turned its body, with the light cone following.

I absolutely love these silly monsters that will be mocked by the shadow puppets.

The enhanced shadow double is inherently taunting, making it the perfect eighth person at the boundary between reality and illusion, helping Zhong Zemo relieve the pressure from the front. Full marks!

"Breaking invisibility with a strike!"

A flash of black light, and the dagger pierced the brain of the sub-adult flying dragon, stirring it violently.

Before it could even cry out, instantaneous brain death caused it to fall quietly.

15 out of 10.

The magic mirror shimmered with golden light.

Magic Mirror: "()"

"I've prepared some really fun monsters, but unfortunately your companions won't get to enjoy them."

"[All of humanity has taken to the skies], [The sealed bed has not returned], answer 10 questions correctly to pass the game."

Jiang Heyi clenched his fist.

The conditions for clearing the level, which Yuru had not explicitly stated, have appeared.

The two met after passing through the stone wall in the center of the field. Zhong Zemo scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly.

"Well... a little bit, I can't remember."

He lay in bed with a tense expression, looking very unhappy.

The players laughed and cheered, anticipating the impending storm.

She chuckled and retorted, "I'm not Du Jingwen, who gets furious just because I forgot her birthday. It's not a big deal."

Du Jingwen may seem absent, but she is everywhere.

One of the most well-known off-field figures in the "Proof of the Stars" series, he has almost become a legendary meme.

"Squat down."

“Okay.” Zhong Zemo did as instructed.

Feilong's blood stained her little face in the blankets, and she hugged Zhong Zemo's cheeks, rubbing them against him.

Feeling the other person's burning hot skin, she chuckled and traveled through the portal to the top of the stone wall, leaving the onlookers screaming in agony, "Quack! I don't want to see!"

She didn't care about the blankets; she wanted everyone to see this.

It would be best if Du Jingwen saw it indirectly as well.

The better Zhong Zemo lived and the better he ate, the more devastating the attacks he launched against her became.

Jiang Heyi is intensifying his instructions to the tea master.

"Answering the wrong question repeatedly will increase the difficulty of the monster and raise its level. You can get one question wrong and one question right, but you can't keep getting them wrong."

"Try to talk to the magic mirror and influence its thinking; this is a gameplay tactic not written in the rules."

With his hands behind his head and his mind blank, Jailer Bro only needed to focus on outputting damage, while Orange Tea had much more to consider.

The Magic Mirror urged, "Next pair of players, please enter."

Upon seeing that it was the Tea God, the onlookers cheered with joy.

The discovery that it was a prison guard paired with a tea master left orange tea fans devastated.

"Can we change players?"

"I don't mean I don't trust the jailer, I just... sigh, never mind, I just don't trust the jailer."

The game hadn't started yet, and the chat wasn't muted, so the jailer could still see the players' messages.

His lips trembled, he waved his hand dismissively, and casually closed the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Heyi and the fries exchanged helpless glances.

Although she may seem indifferent, she probably still cares.

Keep it up, jailer! You can do a live stream; your family must be watching too, right?
Even if it's not to please your family, you still need to change the stereotype that netizens have of you as a "leech-type" player.

Orange Tea also saw the comments. She glanced at them and saw the jailer practicing summoning death minions, deep in thought.

The Magic Mirror's voice changed again; this time, it was replaced by the jailer's voice.

"Lovely [Flavored Orange Tea], what are your answer preferences?"

The magic mirror came close, revealing huge emoticons.

“()”.

"I know absolutely nothing about small animals, so... could you give me more questions about plants or history?" Orange Tea said pitifully.

The magic mirror shrank back.

"_?"

"Really? Then it seems I'll have to ask you more questions about animals."

Ah, kids are so easy to coax.

"Question 1: What animal can unleash the Sun Punch?"

Huh? What abstract problem?
