878: The First Trap of Candy Crush

In the pocket dimension filled with brilliant white light, the pocket dimension host, dressed in a black suit and with a round figure, stood with his hands clasped together, smiling behind the three large balls. Among the three floating balls, only the central one appeared semi-transparent, revealing its contents—a bacteria magnified countless times.

"The conditions for a triple match, that's one of the key points to clear Candy Crush. What exactly are the conditions for a triple match? It's the first hidden rule we need to figure out," Lin Sanjiu said without turning around, her gaze fixed on the bacteria inside the ball. "This bacteria is really huge."

"So what if the bacteria is big?" Bohemia paced back and forth anxiously, coincidentally hearing the pocket dimension host ask, "So, which ball are you going to open?"

"For the first round, I'll choose the ball on your left," Lin Sanjiu said almost without hesitation.

"You are much clearer and more agile in your thinking than when you were being tested," the pocket dimension host chuckled softly, struggling to twist his body as he watched the first ball on his left crack open. "Were you hiding your true abilities earlier, or is there a way to temporarily boost your thinking ability?"

A rolling apple tumbled out of the ball. Unlike the bacteria, it remained its normal size, with a red skin speckled with yellow spots.

"It's strange. You're so concerned about other people's business, yet you don't seem to burn any calories," Bohemia said with a hint of malice. Despite her frantic thinking, she still had no clue. Her pent-up anger turned into insults towards the overweight pocket dimension host. "This apple is round, just like you. Shouldn't it be eliminated based on its shape?"

Lin Sanjiu pondered the apple for a moment, then summoned a few cards from her hand. She crouched down and materialized the cards on the ground—one roll of toilet paper after another. When the quantity of toilet paper reached three, a burst of white light illuminated the ground, and all three rolls of toilet paper disappeared together.

"Just as I thought," Lin Sanjiu murmured, looking down at the spot where the toilet paper had vanished, exhaling softly.

"What is it?" Bohemia leaned in, "What have you figured out?"

"You said something earlier that I remembered very clearly. If shape is one of the elimination conditions, then both the pocket dimension host and the ball should have been eliminated together," she straightened up and frowned at the apple on the opposite side. "I considered the possibility that only the things revealed in the ball are considered part of the game... but this assumption is obviously incorrect."

"I achieved a triple match with the toilet paper I brought in, but the pocket dimension host and the ball weren't eliminated. It can only mean that shape is not one of the elimination conditions," Lin Sanjiu explained. As she spoke, the opened balls on both sides retreated and disappeared, replaced by a new ball. In the first round, neither side hit a vital spot. "Or rather, 'his' shape isn't."

"I don't understand," Bohemia said honestly.

"The lioness and we can achieve a triple match, but not the bicycle or the air... The male construction worker and the pocket dimension host can achieve a triple match, but not the apple or the bacteria..." Lin Sanjiu muttered while turning around. As her gaze fell on the new ball that had floated over, both of them were momentarily stunned.

Inside the new ball stood an ancient warrior dressed in fur clothing, holding a stone axe.

Although they had different genders, they were both humans.

Now, on Lin Sanjiu's side, the contents of the ball were the warrior, an empty chair (visible to the pocket dimension host), and a commercial freezer.

Staring at the warrior, Bohemia couldn't help but turn pale. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, Lin Sanjiu quietly stopped her with a word.
