Fu Miaoxue was dressed in a black dress, her head wrapped in ablack veil, and her entire person was covered from head to toe, even her hands were clad in black embroidered gloves. It can be said, not a single inch of her skin could be seen.
Such attire was too striking, so nobody spoke to her.
And she, assumming an air of importance, didnât seem to be actively seeking to form a team.
Noticing Bai Youweiâs gaze, Fu Miaoxue glared at her through the black veil, and then walked off in a huff.
Bai Youwei dismissed it with a casual twitch of her mouth.
Shen Mo also saw Fu Miaoxue as she walked away, speaking lightly, âIf she were a citizen, she could be recruited, but sadly sheâs a king.â
âI wouldnât want to recruit her, keeping her near would be like having a ticking time bomb,â Bai Youwei laughed, âSuch a bothersome individual is better left to cause trouble for others.â
Shen Mo quirked his lips slightly, âSo you deliberately lured her to sign up as a king?â
âOthers donât understand her, and will surely find her to be a thorn in their side, but I understand herâ¦â Bai Youwei squinted her eyes, looking towards the departing Fu Miaoxue, âShe is like a paper tiger, often frightening others.â
Having such a person serve as a king would both suppress other kings and pose no threat to Bai Youwei â why wouldnât Bai Youwei be pleased with this?
Compared to Fu Miaoxue, Shen Mo was more interested in the actions of the gentleman in the white gloves.
In a short time, several people had already gathered around the gentleman in white gloves, suggesting he was also one of the kings.
Yan Qingwen walked over with an unhappy expression; behind him were Su Man and Lu Yuwen.
Bai Youwei tilted her head and asked curiously, âWhere are the citizens you just recruited?â
âOver there.â Yan Qingwen pointed in a certain direction with a unhappy expression, gesturing for Bai Youwei and Shen Mo to look in that direction.
There was a crowd of people over there.
In the middle of the crowd stood a man wearing a white coat, likely in his forties. He looked gentle, carrying a kind smile. His demeanor and appearance were completely non-threatening, and easily evoked a sense of familiarity.
However, the presence of such a benevolent face at the Maze War pre-selection sign-up venue felt bizarre.
âThat guy, nicknamed âDoctorâ, has already recruited sixteen citizens.â Yan Qingwen said with a frown, his tone exuding a hint of frigidity, âThe other teams have only recruited about four to five citizens each. He is the only one who has exceeded ten. The people we had just recruited were also attracted over.â
âCould he be someone who specialises in psychology?â Bai Youwei murmured suspiciously as she looked over at the man in the distance, âI wonder if we will encounter him in the upcoming games.â
Shen Mo said indifferently, âIt would not be surprising if someone selected by the system possesses some extraordinary abilities.â
Yan Qingwen frowned, âWe still have plenty of time, letâs continue observing. We mustnât overlook even those unassuming players. They could potentially end up being our opponents in the upcoming games.â
As the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing oneself are the keys to victory.
Their strategy for the remaining time was to interact with as many players as possible.
That was Yan Qingwenâs approach, and the same went for Shen Mo.
Time slowly passed amidst these cautious observations and probesâ¦
When the ten hours of deliberation came to an end, the image of the Rabbit Inspector appeared once again on the wall â
âIâm glad to see you all again.
After ten hours of deep thought, I am confident that all of you have made your decisionsâ¦â
The rabbit-headed figure took a turn, smiling.
âHowever, before each of you announces your decision, I have an announcement to make.â
Everyone looked at it, confused.
It then spoke, word by word, âThis competition is a preliminary round. All registered players are required to enter the arena. Those who triumph are successfully registered.â
