875: Unfair Candy Crush

"Go to hell," Bohemia muttered to herself.

Bohemia pondered for a moment, then suddenly became angry. She sat down cross-legged on the ground and tugged at Lin Sanjiu's pants leg, gesturing for her to sit down too. "Let's not play this anymore! This game is impossible. Sit down."

A peaceful protest, huh? Lin Sanjiu glanced at her and understood how to talk to her. She bent down and asked softly, "What do you think?"

"He's just bluffing," Bohemia said angrily, slapping her own hand a few times, causing her accessories to jingle. "A mother lion can get three in a row with us, so what can't? Let's take the bicycle as an example. It has iron inside, right? We also have iron in our bodies! So, we could be eliminated too!"

"Bicycles are not allowed."

Before Lin Sanjiu could respond, the pocket dimension host laughed first. "Even if the ball contains air, it won't be eliminated just because it contains oxygen, like you do."

"Why?" Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow and asked.

The pocket dimension host seemed to attempt a shrug—but he was too fat, and his neck was engulfed in layers of fat, making it almost impossible to see the gesture.

"He's just making things up now," Bohemia said, showing no trust in him. "Once the game starts, he can find any excuse to eliminate us. Do you think I'll fall for it?" She turned to the pocket dimension host and spat, "I don't believe you. If I can't get out of here, I'll just die here. Your ball can serve as a final resting place for a dutiful child."

Not participating in the game and being trapped here indefinitely was definitely not an option. But what Bohemia said was a hidden worry in Lin Sanjiu's heart as well. They couldn't recklessly gamble their lives... After some thought, she raised her voice to the pocket dimension host. "I hope we can continue with the Test Bureau. We were eliminated in the first round, and we still have no concept of how to play."

"That's also possible. After all, you'll eventually start playing Candy Crush," the pocket dimension host blinked his bald eyelids twice and smiled. "I won't say anything else. How long can your food sustain you? Trust me, I've been through it."

Even with the abundance of supplies provided by the grand prize, Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia couldn't live their entire lives in this empty space. Lin Sanjiu looked at the several balls behind the pocket dimension host and pondered for a moment, then glanced down at Bohemia.

Bohemia still had the appearance of nonviolent non-cooperation, sitting on the ground with her arms crossed, silent. But upon closer inspection, one would notice that her eyes rolled around the three balls several times. Lin Sanjiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that Bohemia wasn't completely focused on resisting until the end.

Apart from their different colors, there were no clues on the three balls. After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu realized that random exploration was the only option. She pointed her chin towards the rightmost ball and said, "I'll explore this one."

As her words fell, the color of that ball also faded away, gradually revealing its contents—a row of various company names, constantly changing red and green numbers followed by percentage changes like "-2.4%" or "+0.5%."

"What's this?" Bohemia indeed didn't recognize it.

"It's the stock market," Lin Sanjiu was a little surprised. She didn't expect this kind of virtual digitized thing to appear inside the ball. "It's... well, explaining it won't make you understand anyway."

"Just because you understand doesn't mean you'll explain it to me."

Lin Sanjiu ignored her.

The key now was how to determine if the "stock market" was a disguise. No matter how she thought about it, she felt there was no way to judge—after all, each ball had a one-third chance of being disguised.
