Translator: 549690339

Here’s Tan Xiao’s self-introduction:

“My name is Tan Xiao, the same Tan and Xiao from ‘Speaking and Laughing’. I’m known as Brother Laugh! I roamed the underworld at eight, swore loyalty to an older brother at ten! I’ve seen the ebbs and flows of the underworld for decades! I became strong bare-handed! I live by brotherhood! Come to me if there’s any trouble! Brother Laugh is always at your service!”

He finished speaking, hands on his hips, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

Everyone:

Tan Xiao looked left and right, and yet no one clapped.

He was desolate.

Only Bai Youwei and Pan Xiaoxin were left to introduce themselves.

Pan Xiaoxin glanced at Bai Youwei.

Bai Youwei, half-lidded eyes, looked nonchalant, showing no intention of speaking.

Pan Xiaoxin:

After contemplating for a moment, he said: “My name is Pan Xiaoxin. I lived with my grandparents in Hangzhou, attended Central Elementary School, grade five  After Hangzhou was hit by the calamity, I had nowhere to go, so I wanted to join a group. But those adults, I don’t know why, they fought all the time, they were reckless  many people died ”

While he was speaking, he noticed Bai Youwei glance over at him, eyes still half-lidded.

Pan Xiaoxin felt guilty and his voice faded:

“Later  Later I met Sister Weiwei and Brother Mo, they were willing to take me into the maze, so I felt  that this team might survive, so I joined all of you.”

“Child, you’re not entirely honest, huh~~” Bai Youwei spoke slowly and leisurely.

With his head hung low, Pan Xiaoxin honestly confessed: “Those injuries were self-inflicted, but I didn’t mean to harm you. I was just scared… scared you would doubt me, so…”

“A kid with a mind for scheming, not cute at all.” Bai Youwei lazily said, “Well, it doesn’t matter. You aren’t a pet, you don’t have to be cute. As long as you can stay alive, it’s enough.”

Pan Xiaoxin paused, then looked up at her.

“Is it my turn now ” Bai Youwei stretched, looking tired, “My name is Bai Youwei, a cripple.”

That was it.

Everyone waited quietly for three seconds.

Then they realized she had no intention of saying anything more. Their feelings were somewhat complex.

“Weiwei, you’re not being fair.” Tan Xiao complained, “You didn’t even tell us your age!”

Bai Youwei glared at him, “Since when is it okay to ask a lady her age?!”

Tan Xiao: “Everyone else said it!”

“Hmmph, I’m not going to tell you anyway.” Bai Youwei turned her face away haughtily, refusing to look at him, “Only two people in the world could know my age, one is the person who gave birth to me, the other is the person who will bury me.”

“Why?” Tan Xiao was puzzled.

Bai Youwei explained, “Because the person who buries me will have to write on my tombstone, ‘Here lies Bai Youwei, born in this year and month, died suddenly in this year and month.’ Don’t you understand that?”

Tan Xiao gave an “oh”, ” that makes sense.”

The others had nothing left to say.

Yan Qingwen asked another question, “You seem to be good at clearing games, have you had any previous training?”

“Not necessarily good, but after playing a few times, one can always become more proficient than others.” She rested her chin on her hand, speaking casually, “Just like um, if you play connect games more often, your sense of touch will also improve, it’s the same principle.”

She asked Yan Qingwen, “How many times have you played the game?”

“Three times.” Yan Qingwen smiled, “The first playthrough was successful, and we received an item called the Self-Healing Bandage. The second game was too hard, and we used up five jigsaw puzzles. The third time  was the luck-and-answer quiz. If this one also counts, then it’s four.”

Bai Youwei nodded deliberately: “That’s a bit short. It’s better to go into the game more often. Practice makes perfect, and it saves you from being at a disadvantage in the future.”

Li Li couldn’t help saying: “The games get sicker and sicker each time, yet we should go more often? What if we die before getting used to it?”

Bai Youwei burst into laughter: “Then I’ll set up a tombstone for you. ‘Here lies Li Li, who died suddenly in a certain year and month～’”

Li Li:

He just shouldn’t have asked.
