Join the management group, I've stockpiled millions of supplies for survival at sea.

Three hours after the start of the treasure hunt game, no one in the chat channel was discussing fishing anymore.

Yin Leyao brewed herself a cup of seaweed tea and sat in the cockpit looking at the data panel.

Fourteen game rooms are running simultaneously, with eighty-four players entering. Currently, forty-one players are alive. The death rate is just over half.

This was lower than she had anticipated.

She had initially thought that more than half of them would die within the first hour.

She pulled up the live feeds for each room. The feed was divided into fourteen sections, each showing the gray brick walls and the player's moving silhouette.

Room 0032.

Six people went in, and now only two remain. One player is hiding in a corner counting coins, while the other player, covered in blood, has just crawled out of a cubicle, clutching a red item that triggered an encounter event.

Chains extended from the wall and dragged him inside. The remaining players glanced at him and continued counting their coins.

Room 0058.

Everyone survived.

Yin Leyao zoomed in on the image and saw six people sitting in a circle, piling all the green props they had touched in the middle.

Someone is dividing up gold coins.

Their rule is to take turns touching the props, and if they touch a red one, everyone carries it together.

I was lucky and managed to get eleven green items in a row, which triggered two hidden rooms.

They took the purple item boxes from both hidden rooms, and everyone withdrew.

Yin Leyao made a note in her notebook: Players should adopt a cooperative strategy and adjust the trigger conditions for hidden rooms to avoid cooperating in sharing the spoils.

Room 0071.

There's only one person left.

The player was standing in the middle of a pile of corpses, holding two purple item boxes in his hands.

How did he survive? Yin Leyao plays back the video.

For the first five minutes, the six people each touched the props.

In the eleventh minute, a player triggered the second encounter event of the red item, and a swarm of mechanical spiders emerged from the wall, biting anyone they saw.

The mechanical spider bit and killed three people.

Of the remaining three, two pushed each other while escaping, and both fell into a hidden trap room.

The last player didn't go to rescue them. He waited outside the trap room for thirty seconds until the system announced that the two had died. Then he pushed open the trap room door and picked up two purple item boxes.

Clean and neat.

Yin Leyao clicked on this player's profile.

Player ID 0592, name is Lu Chen.

Before the game started, his resource panel was almost empty, with three pieces of wood and one piece of plastic.

He now has two purple item boxes and 120 gold coins in his backpack.

She wrote Lu Chen's number on another page of her notebook.

This type of player is the ideal participant in the treasure hunt game: calm, decisive, not greedy, and does not rescue others.

Yin Leyao turned off the surveillance camera and finished the last sip of seaweed tea.

She signed herself up for the next game.

This time she was assigned to room 0213.

After the white light from the teleportation dissipated, Yin Leyao found herself standing in a corridor.

It wasn't the square hall like last time, but a straight corridor with three doors on each side and an even larger door at the end.

The system has undergone some changes.

The layout of the room is different each time.

There were already five people waiting for her in the hallway.

A woman in her forties, wearing a red windbreaker, with short hair and a dagger strapped to her arm, leaned against a door. She merely raised her eyelids when she saw Yin Leyao enter.

A boy, who looked no more than eighteen, was squatting in a corner, biting his nails. His fingers were bleeding, but he seemed oblivious to it.

A bald man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, wearing a sleeveless vest, his muscles stretched the fabric taut. He stood in the middle of the corridor, like a wall.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses was writing in a notebook. Yin Leyao glanced at it; the paper contained a floor plan of the corridor, with each door labeled with a number.

There was another woman, about the same age as Yin Leyao, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, standing in front of the door at the end of the corridor, her palm pressed against the door panel, as if sensing something.

The positioning of these five people is interesting. No one is standing together. Each person is in their own place, wary of everyone else.

A system notification sounded.

[Starting from Room 0213]

[Players: Yin Leyao, Hong Jie, Xiao Zhou, Baldy, Notes, Ponytail]

Current number of survivors: 6

[Game Rules: There are six doors in the corridor. Behind each door is an item. Collect three specific green items to open the door at the end, behind which is a hidden room.] The rules are different from last time.

After hearing the hint, Yin Leyao quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.

Last time it was free exploration, this time it's forced exploration.

All six doors must be opened, because it is unknown which three doors lead to specific green items.

Moreover, the rules this time do not mention that one can abstain.

"Six doors, three specific items." The notebook closed, and the author adjusted his glasses. "Behind each door is an item, but not all of them are green. When someone tries to open a door, a red item will be triggered. The number of green items in the six doors is unknown, as is the number of red items."

"Then each of us should open one door," Sister Hong said.

"Why should I?" the bald man laughed. "I open the door and trigger the red item, and you just sit back and reap the benefits?"

"Then don't drive," Sister Hong said. "Once everyone else has taken all the green items, you can wait to eat the red ones."

Xiao Zhou is still biting his nails.

Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the ground.

Ponytail walked back from the front door: "This door is very thick and has no keyhole. The system said that you need to collect three specific green items to open it. There must be something special behind this door."

"A purple item box," the notebook says, "standard equipment for hidden rooms."

"The question is, which three doors lead to specific green props?" Sister Hong said.

Yin Leyao walked to the first door and observed the patterns on the door frame.

The door frame is gray with some small scratches on it.

She looked closer and saw that the marks weren't random; they were patterns.

The first door has a circular marking, the second door has a triangular marking, the third door has a square marking, the fourth door is also circular, the fifth door has a triangular marking, and the sixth door has a square marking.

"There are markings on the door frame," Yin Leyao said.

Everyone gathered around to watch.

"Circles, triangles, squares." The notebook was pulled out, and drawing began. "Three markings, two doors of each. Six doors in total. Could certain items be related to these markings?"

"You'll know once you try." The bald man walked to the first door marked with a circle and pushed it open.

Behind the door was a small cubicle, with a green wooden box in the center.

The bald man picked up the wooden box and opened it.

[Player Bald Guy obtains green item: 5 Gold Coins]

[Status of collecting specific items: 0/3]

"Green, but not a specific item." The note was written on the paper. "Circular mark: first door, ordinary green item."

Sister Hong pushed open the third door, marked with a square. Behind the door was another wooden box, green in color.

Player Hongjie has obtained a green item: 3 Gold Coins.

[Status of collecting specific items: 0/3]

"The first door, square in shape, is also a regular green." The notes continued to be written.

"Where is that specific item?" asked the ponytail.
