Chapter 173 Is he a fan of appearance?

Seeing Si Yan move so quickly, even Zhu Qianqian, who had witnessed his speed before, was a bit startled!

Si Yan lit the incense without any hesitation.

This indicated that Si Yan wasn’t guessing; he was 100% sure.

Especially since the last 10 epitaphs were all classic types.

They were also ambiguous.

Who could know the good or evil of the ghost who used this epitaph in life?

Not even a player with the Sage talent, whose intelligence was several times higher than others, would dare to claim 100% certainty.

In the past, when a Thriller Adventure like this was encountered, players could only try their luck one by one.

It mainly relied on guessing, seeing who had the best luck to be the last one chosen when drawing lots.

But Si Yan completed it with a “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.”

This allowed all the remaining 6 players to pass this stage!

“Game victory, you have successfully passed the second stage.”

The notification appeared.

Immediately after, all players were teleported to the scene of the third stage.

“Huh? Why are you all here so quickly, were you all eliminated?”

The three eliminated players asked curiously when they saw the new arrivals.

“Si Yan, I’ll transfer the ghost coins to you, and let’s add each other as friends,” Zhu Qianqian said, approaching Si Yan.

Transferring ghost coins face-to-face was simple and didn’t require adding friends.

Soon, Si Yan received 2000 ghost coins transferred by Zhu Qianqian.

Zhu Qianqian also successfully added Si Yan as a friend.

Immediately after, the other 5 players also transferred their ghost coins to Si Yan.

Including Chen Kuan.

Although this guy was annoyed, he didn’t go back on his promise to Si Yan.

Soon, Si Yan received 12000 ghost coins transferred by 6 players.

An income of over ten thousand in one go was quite good.

For these 6 players, being able to win the second stage in such a lossless way meant that if they won just one more stage, these ghost coins would be well worth it.

“Why are you transferring money to him?”

The other three players were confused.

When they learned that Si Yan had easily handled the last 10 most difficult tombstones, they were all equally surprised.

At the same time, they were also a bit depressed.

Because if they had successfully completed their 3 sticks of incense, they could have also passed the second stage.

“Thriller Adventure Third Round: Pass the Drum.”

“Game Description: Ten people form a circle and play Pass the Drum. The drum is a human skin drum. Whenever the drumbeat stops, the person holding the flower must perform a show as requested by the human skin drum. If the human skin drum is satisfied, the person can stay and continue the game; if not, the person is eliminated.”

“Game Rules: The flower must be held for at least 1 second before being thrown. The game has a total of 10 rounds, and the last person remaining wins the game. The game time is 1 hour, and you have 10 minutes of preparation time.”

As soon as the six players finished transferring money to Si Yan, the notification for the third round of the game appeared.

“Pass the Drum? Oh my god, it’s this game. They really don’t want us to pass!”

One player’s face changed.

“What’s wrong with this game?”

Another player seemed unfamiliar with the game.

“Nothing, but no matter what show you perform, the human skin drum will never be satisfied. There are very few exceptions. 10 rounds, just enough to eliminate 10 people, understand?”

The player said.

“That’s right, this round of the game can’t even be completed. It’s a pity, I’ve already passed two rounds, and now I’m back to square one.”

Another player said glumly.

“Chen Ping, aren’t you a Sage talent? Quickly think, how should we pass this round? If you can come up with a good method, you will definitely be well rewarded.”

A player said to the player with the Sage talent.

“I am thinking,” the player with the Sage talent said, frowning.

This stage, in his opinion, was very difficult!

All the methods that could be tried, others had already tried.

For example, some players had previously tried to actively hit the drum, but it was useless; they were deemed in violation and directly eliminated.

Other unconventional methods were also eliminated for violating the rules.

The method Si Yan used in the previous Hide-and-Seek with the ghost was not against the rules.

That method was also difficult for others to replicate.

Even if it hadn’t spread, ordinary people couldn’t grasp the timing well, and considering the mentality and state of other players, stepping out would also be very risky.

The other few players all looked at Chen Ping, who possessed the Sage talent.

Zhu Qianqian, on the other hand, looked at Si Yan.

Si Yan had quietly used the Ghoul Detective’s Clues skill.

This skill, as the Ghoul Detective profession’s proficiency continuously increased, also became faster and faster.

“Tracking successful, you have successfully found a clue.”

“Clue Hint: When your charm is high enough, perhaps the human skin drum will be exceptionally satisfied with you.”

Seeing this hint, Si Yan vaguely understood.

This human skin drum, it turns out, is a looks-obsessed one?

No, it’s not just an ordinary looks-obsessed one; the charm must be high enough.

Therefore, no matter what show others performed, it was never satisfied, with very few exceptions.

The exceptions might be some players with exceptionally high charm.

Thinking of this, Si Yan quietly equipped the Mystic Artist profession.

“Each of you give me 2000 ghost coins, and this stage is guaranteed to pass,” Si Yan said.

The other 9 players all looked at Si Yan.

Zhu Qianqian’s eyes lit up.

She knew that Si Yan definitely had a way.

“Si Yan, are you sure?” a player asked.

Si Yan said calmly, “Sure. Payment after the fact.”

Seeing Si Yan’s calm tone, the players who had just experienced the second round and had a grasp of Si Yan’s prowess were all a bit tempted.

Although they would have to pay a total of 4000 ghost coins.

But as long as they passed this stage, they would make a huge profit.

After all, this was game experience.

After the leaderboard came out, experience would always be more useful than ghost coins!

Two players were not interested, as they had failed in both the first and second rounds.

“I’m willing.”

“I’m willing too~”

The players who had passed both rounds 1 and 2 spoke up.

“What about Zhang Yao and Zhu Shengjian? They failed both rounds and clearly don’t want to pay. And for the three of us who failed one round, paying so much this round isn’t appropriate either.”

A player said.

“There are 4 of us who passed both rounds. Let’s each pay an extra 1750 ghost coins. Those who failed both rounds don’t need to pay. The three of you who failed one round only need to pay 1000 ghost coins each.”

Zhu Qianqian suggested.

“Okay!” The other 3 players who had passed both rounds agreed.

This meant that each of them would have to pay 3750 ghost coins, which was a very large sum of ghost coins.

However, as long as they passed all three rounds, they would also make a huge profit!

After all, this Thriller Adventure, in addition to ghost coin rewards, offered more in terms of experience and ranking!

Thus, an agreement was quickly reached.

“2000 each, 9 people is eighteen thousand. My goodness, if he passes this stage, counting the previous one, he’ll have earned thirty thousand ghost coins. Is he here just to make money?”

A player calculated, couldn’t help but gasp.

The ghost coins contributed by each player were already a lot, and adding them up made Si Yan earn so many ghost coins!

“Si Yan, tell us your method now,” a player said.

“The method is simple: in the first round, just throw the flower directly to me,” Si Yan said.

Throw the flower directly to Si Yan?

The players were all a bit confused.

“Just throw it to me; you don’t need to worry about the rest,” Si Yan said.

“Alright!” Seeing Si Yan say this, and with not much time left, the other players chose to trust Si Yan.

After all, they couldn’t think of any other methods.

The 10 players quickly entered the game area, an antique-style thatched pavilion.

In the very center of the pavilion was the human skin drum.

The 10 players formed a circle.

“Game start ~” The notification appeared, and then a flower appeared in a female player’s hand.

“Dong ~ dong ~ dong ~” The human skin drum began to beat.

The female player quickly threw the flower to a nearby player, who then quickly passed it on.

Finally, before the drumbeat stopped, the flower landed in Si Yan’s hand.

Si Yan took the flower but didn’t throw it out again. Instead, his left hand moved, throwing it to his right hand!

The rules of this round of the game did not specify that one could not throw from the left hand to the right hand!

This was exploiting a loophole in the rules.

“Dong ~” Finally, the human skin drum stopped.

“This official, please compose a poem for this humble one ~” Then, the human skin drum emitted a long, eerie sound.

Compose a poem?

That was too simple!
