My Boyfriend Is A Dragon-Chapter 141 - New Participants

The way they looked at Bai Wu changed considerably. Their dread turned into reverence. Was it simply because he replaced Uncle Ji as the new elder?

“Hm, has everyone rested well? It should be another new round of the game by tomorrow but the difficulty level will be slightly lower, there’s no need to worry. Have the newcomers understood all the rules?”

Bai Wu looked around and saw the new additions – a big-bellied fatty, a bespectacled businessman, and a trembling young lady, who was being comforted by Sheng Ya.

“I’ve explained it all but Fang Lingzi does not seem to accept the situation.” Sheng Ya pouted as she spoke.

“I can’t believe that nonsense! It’s the Society of Great Unity and you can’t scare me!” The fatty refuted in a loud voice.

“But you do believe it, don’t you? You simply refuse to accept that belief. I arrived here yesterday and I just came back from today’s mission.”

Xu Lan coolly walked over and lifted his short-sleeved shirt to reveal the three bullet holes in his abdomen. The fatty was likely a successful person and his pale fat face started to tremble as he looked at those bullet holes in shock.

“This!”

“Papa!” Bai Wu stepped forward and tugged at Xu Lan’s shirt while exclaiming in distress. His eyes however, looked at the fatty with a cold expression.

“So, that means, we can only escape if we get ten thousand gold coins? And in doing so, we must complete missions as dictated by the dimension?” The businessman loosened his tie and asked calmly.

“Heh, getting ten thousand gold coins isn’t as easy as you think. Generally speaking, there are always people who cannot complete the mission and end up dying. Even if you can complete it, there’s no guarantee you’d come out of it injury-free. Although everyone can save up and not use the gold coins in exchange for food, it’s medicine that’s expensive. They start at five hundred gold coins, but those five hundred gold coins are what gives you the chance to fight another day! Of course, the stronger the medicine, the more expensive it will be.”

The businessman’s attitude angered one of the young men there who was squatting on the ground. His lifted his dirty crew-cut head and lashed out furiously.

“In that case, I’d like to ask, how did those people who gathered ten thousand coins manage to leave the place? Why can’t we follow them out?” The businessman was not affected by the crew-cut young man’s words – he simply cleared his thoughts and asked another question.

“They disappear… Once they get ten thousand points, they would disappear right in front of your eyes.” Bai Wu relaxed voice resonated through the whole room and shut out the crew-cut young man before he could speak again.

“…”

“I think that’s it. Regardless of what happens, our main purpose is to continue living. Everyone, remember to rest, recuperate, and prepare yourself for what tomorrow has to offer,” Bai Wu said that while shaking his head. Of the three newcomers, only the businessman seemed to have a stronger mentality.

“Elder, this is the food that was sent today.” A sallow-looking young man summoned up the courage to give Bai Wu some good food once he saw that Bai Wu was assisting Xu Lan and was about to leave.

The young man was named Zhang Fei. He completed seven missions and accumulated five thousand coins. His intelligence and physique were nothing to shout about but they did not hold him back, and he always completed his mission on his own. Those like Zhang Fei – who could complete missions by themselves – number five or six, while the rest needed the assistance of the elders.

In choosing the elders, the master of the dimension would normally choose those who were brave, smart, and had the most experience. For example, Uncle Ji – the previous elder – was chosen only after completing nine missions.

Elders must aid the participants to the best of their abilities while at the same time ensuring that no rules were broken. They also have a certain amount of power to punish those who break the rules, and to a certain extent, they wield the power to decide life-and-death for everyone else. However, an unjust elder would also suffer punishment.

The master of the dimension did not want for the participants to die off too quickly. He treated the whole scene like a television screen where the master could eat some melon seeds while being amused with the participants struggling to complete their mission. It was also why Xu Lan won for no reason after coming into contact with a hidden mission.

Bai Wu nodded and received the food. He then looked toward Sheng Ya, who was comforting Fang Lingzi and said, “Sheng Ya, do your best to console her. It’s rare for you to have a companion.”

“I will…” With a drawn-out voice, she flashed a vibrant smile and replied.

Xu Lan raised an eyebrow and walked out feeling embarrassed.
