The rules were actually very simple. Each of the three manipulators from the fate camp could set two conclusions. One was Claire's ending while the second was their own character's ending. No matter how they achieved either ending, Xing Ye would lose. With three people, Xing Ye had to try and avoid six unknown endings alone. The difficulty was obvious.

What made it even harder was that the system hid this rule from the anti-fate camp and ensnared it with countless traps, deliberately trying to make Xing Ye misunderstand the rules.

Malice. This was Xing Ye's deepest impression of this world. No matter if it was the women's clothes, the women's clothes, or the women's clothes, it gave him goosebumps and drained him of all his energy.

After arranging his thoughts, Xing Ye couldn't help but sigh: "Even though my luck value's set to 1%, my luck's actually pretty good."

The senior maid stared at him sluggishly. The rules were already so demanding yet this guy thought his luck was pretty good?

"The first opponent's so stupid and basically leaked all the rules to me. Actually, my luck's amazing." Xing Ye shook his head, "But this game's really malicious so I can't always just wait for the enemy to make a mistake. I have to be cautious against the next manipulator."

The senior maid: "..."

Was he saying I'm stupid? Me? Stupid? The senior maid thought, confused.

She remembered that she hadn't lost yet and straightened her back, asking: "So what if you figured out the rules? Without me, how can you escape the garden? You're just a maid. Now that you've knocked out Earl Luca, he'll definitely kill you once he wakes up."

Xing Ye didn't reply, just standing up and leaving before soon returning to the room with a corpse. It was the female maid that was tortured to death when he had just arrived earlier.

"How do you guys normally deal with the corpse?" Xing Ye asked. 　

"Toss them into the river," The senior maid said, "The people here don't care about hygiene at all."

It was true, which only worsened the pandemics in medieval times.

"So in other words, you should've already dealt with the corpse following Earl Luca's orders. If another corpse appears in the earl's bedroom, it should be Claire's." Xing Ye said, "You said earlier that dying in the game didn't mean dying in real life?"

"Of course not, dying would just make you lose 50% of your points. Furthermore, the penalty for losing is always just taking 50%. If you had more points, you'd lose more, but you can't lose all of your points." The senior maid was scared by Xing Ye's imposing manner and couldn't help but spill all she knew about the rules.

So you couldn't die... then how did Xing Shuo die? Xing Ye thought of his little brother in the funeral hall. He was absolutely certain that Xing Shuo's death was linked to the game, but now...　　

He was lacking information. He needed to continue entering games to learn more about the system.

He put the knocked out earl with the corpse before pulling the senior maid in front of the door.

After setting everything up, Xing Ye picked out the biggest set of equestrian gear in the earl's closet, changed out of the women's clothes, and squeezed himself into the men's set.

He had to suck in his stomach, the cloth pressing painfully against his bosom. Xing Ye frowned, feeling rather uncomfortable.

He used the knife in the bedroom to cut his long hair short before copying the earl's hairdo, shaping it into a common hairstyle for this era. After messing around with it for a while, he grabbed the mirror to check if he did it right. This time, the mirror actually reflected his appearance.
