Chapter 160: A Friend's Gift

On the table, only three black cards remained: two optional cards and the one Shen Mo left behind when he forfeited.

As expected, the optional black cards should both read: Kill the game's Overseer.

Zhang Qi closed his eyes, his mind slowly emptying. As if he couldn't hear the woman's wails beside him, he numbly reached out, chose a card, and flipped it over:

[Dare: Do you dare kill this game's Overseer?]

He stared at the card for a long time, then suddenly laughed, a tragic and resolute laugh.

It turned out that when truly facing death, one doesn't feel fear.

He raised his head, stared into the Overseer's ice-blue eyes, and said to it word by word: "You. Lose."

The Overseer watched him silently.

The surrounding dolls gradually gathered, moving closer and closer to Zhang Qi… They reached out and pulled him, like hospitable hosts treating their dearest friends.

Come…

Come…

Play with us…

Zhang Qi felt his body becoming numb, stiff, and immobile. More and more dolls gathered, pulling him, tugging him, dragging him…

Away from the chair…

Onto the dance floor…

He saw familiar faces among the dolls.

He didn't know if it was a hallucination, but he was grateful for it. At least it gave him a final shred of comfort before death arrived.

In the last second of fading consciousness, he used his remaining strength to reach out to it, wanting to embrace it…

Everything froze at this moment.

White cards: 0.

Black cards: 2.

According to the game rules, only after the optional cards are used up can previously used cards be chosen.

The Overseer flipped over the last optional black card. It was the one Zhang Qi left for it: Kill this game's Overseer.

It couldn't do it.

Indeed.

Except for the game system itself, not even the Overseer could end its own life.

"Congratulations to both of you for clearing this game."

The blond, blue-eyed Overseer sat politely at the table, its smile perfectly measured.

"It's quite surprising. The first players to win this game are actually two ladies. As friends attending the party, you will receive generous rewards before you leave."

It snapped its fingers.

Not far away, two doll waiters in white shirts and gray vests walked over carrying trays.

On each tray was a beautifully wrapped gift box tied with a pretty ribbon.

Bai Youwei curiously accepted the gift box. It felt very light. She couldn't help but glance at the Overseer and say, "I hope the rewards inside match the temperament of this game."

Overseer: "Oh? What temperament?"

Bai Youwei paused for a second, looked at the man-eating flower on the floor: "Big."

Then she looked at the surrounding dolls: "Numerous."

Finally, she looked up at the entire banquet hall: "Extravagant."

Overseer: "…I hope it lives up to your expectations."

Bai Youwei frowned as she opened the gift box—

Inside were three items: a packet of flower seeds, a black and gold friend invitation card, and a palm-sized doll.

The flower seeds were because she picked the most beautiful flower from the sea of flowers.

The invitation card was because she obtained one of the five spots at the party.

As for the doll, it should be the final reward for this party game.

Bai Youwei touched each item one by one, checking their true uses.

[Modified Flower Seeds: Upon contact with the ground, they will grow into a sea of flowers within 24 hours, regardless of season or environment. The blooming period is 24 hours. If they can absorb life force, the blooming period can last longer.]

[Friend Invitation Card: Holders of this card can enter areas where they are not invited or certain restricted areas.]

[Substitute Doll: Can serve as the user's second body, bearing all damage for 36 hours until completely destroyed.]
