Chapter 4184 Relief
After the rabbit girl's furrowed brows relaxed again, the somewhat tense atmosphere at the stone table meeting gradually eased.
It was at this moment that Angell spoke up: "That's about it for the post-war debriefing."
He paused, then looked at the rabbit girl: "Finally, is there anything you'd like to add?"
After a few seconds of silence, the rabbit girl stood up, bowed her head, and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, I was too willful this time."
Apart from Angell and Laplace, the others looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
Laplace: "Continue."
Rabbit Girl: "Actually, I think Miss Maggie is right too."
As soon as she spoke, Montedan looked over, his eyes seemingly filled with worry.
She reassured me, "Don't worry, I've thought it through. I know our goal is to become the master of the sand table, so the result is more important than the means. I agree with that."
"But our perspective is ultimately just from our own standpoint."
“From Miss Maggie’s perspective, I think her rating of me is correct. Her reasoning for the rating stems from the original intention of ‘game-like challenge’ in Golden Country, while I did not engage in any mechanism-based confrontation throughout the entire process. As an observer, her rating of me is reasonable.”
"Moreover, I did indeed use extraordinary equipment to defeat the Singer Squad..."
“Using oversized props is also a mistake I made in this challenge, and it is also the price of my willfulness.”
The rabbit girl looked at Angel: "Super-sized items are rare to begin with, and I used up all my magic scrolls and even used the Reverse Scale..."
She paused.
"In short, I used these props too extravagantly and wasted them. They should have been used in more appropriate places, but I ended up using them all here."
"If I hadn't been so willful in the first place, and had chosen to challenge the Golden City with my brother Angel, then I wouldn't have used these over-the-top items."
She glanced at Maggie again: "At that time, I believe Miss Maggie's score would have been even higher."
Finally, she bowed deeply again: "I apologize once again to everyone on the rabbit hole for my willfulness."
Gray Porcelain and Gabriel quickly waved their hands: "We didn't participate, so the captain doesn't need to apologize to us. Besides, the captain performed very well, so we won."
Montedan then spoke up: "What kind of capriciousness is this? If this is considered capriciousness, then wouldn't it have been even more capricious for me to give the Lord of Ten Thousand Games twenty points and for Maggie to give the Singer Team forty points?"
Hearing Montessori's mutterings beside her, Maggie rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
However, on the other hand, Maggie's expression, which had been somewhat gloomy due to the earlier hostility from everyone, relaxed slightly after hearing the bunny girl's final words.
Finally, Ingres and Laplace exchanged a glance, with Ingres responding first and Laplace concluding.
"The props are given to you to use, just like Montedan said, it's not being willful."
“But you were right about something you said earlier. If we challenge it together, it should be easier.” Angel blinked and with a flick of his hand, he used illusion magic to create a chubby-faced rabbit doll that was smiling happily. The doll was wearing a tall hat and had the words “Mayor of Rabbit Town” written on it.
He handed the doll to the bunny girl: "Don't be discouraged, this is for you. If we get two more perfect scores on the levels, you'll become the real mayor."
"We don't even necessarily need two levels. If our opponents don't perform well, we can get a perfect clear and end this sandbox journey."
"When the time comes, you can practice however you want on the remaining levels, or you can solo them if you want, it's up to you."
The rabbit girl had a melancholy look on her face, but when she saw the rabbit mayor's doll, she smiled in a long time.
At this point, Laplace spoke:
"Since you apologized to everyone, this summary wasn't a complete waste of time."
"Let's end the post-war summary of Golden State here."
……
at the same time.
A commotion erupted in the outside players' camp.
because……
The other team in this media frenzy, the Singers, also left the Golden Township checkpoint and appeared below the sand table projection.
Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the camp, and a clamor arose one after another. They all wanted to know how the Singer Team had managed to get a high score of forty points from the Observer.
It even completely crushed the rabbit hole.
However, despite their curiosity, they only dared to express it by "muttering loudly," trying to get the singers in the group to hear them and respond.
They were still a bit timid if they were actually asked to intercept the singers' team and ask them questions.
The three members of the Singer's Squad ignored the surrounding discussions and went straight into a small hut deep inside the camp.
—They built this hut themselves without asking other Rongshi tribesmen for help.
There was no other way; as visitors from outside the realm and "serious criminals of the crime of world destruction," almost no one dared to approach them, so they had to do everything themselves.
Closing the simple crystal door instantly shuts out the noise from the outside world.
Only then did Madam Rose turn to the Magic Flute: "Miss Gossamer, she..."
Magic Flute gently shook his head: "I've already logged off."
Lady Rose's eyes flashed with realization. That's right. Using spirituality as fuel for intuition within the level consumes far more mental energy than directly using one's physical body to invoke one's talent.
It's normal for Miss Gossa to log off after leaving the Golden City.
"So... how is Miss Gossamy's mood now?" Lady Rose hesitated for a moment, but still continued to ask Magi. After all, Miss Gossamy had been inside Magi's chest, and Magi knew her situation best.
The Magic Flute: "Emotions? You mean?"
Mrs. Rose Leaf said cautiously, "According to Miss Maggie's message, we were only a few minutes slower than the one who went down the rabbit hole. If we had been a little faster on the second level, we might have been the ones to enter the third level and achieve a perfect clear."
Lady Rose felt regretful that she was just a few minutes away from gaining fifty more points, so she was worried that Miss Gosha, as the "core of the team," might be upset about it.
Upon hearing this, the Magic Flute chuckled and shook his head.
“Miss Gossa’s emotions are very stable, and this score is the highest score Miss Gossa thinks she can get.”
Mrs. Rose was taken aback: "Huh?"
Looking at Lady Roseleaf, whose expression was one of surprise and shock, Magic Flute slowly said, "This is what Miss Gossamer said herself."
"Does Miss Gossa mean that we cannot pass the third level?" Madam Rose asked doubtfully.
Moqin looked over curiously at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, Magic Flute decided to tell the truth.
Do you think it will be difficult for us to defeat the Golden Phantom?
Mrs. Rose shook her head: "It's not difficult."
"Indeed, defeating any one of the Golden Phantoms wouldn't be difficult. But what if we had to defeat dozens or hundreds?"
Lady Rose frowned: "If we fight them one by one, we should be able to get through, right?"
"What if multiple golden phantoms attack together?"
Lady Rose hesitated for a moment.
Cleaning them one by one should be enough; but if there are multiple ones, it's hard to say.
"And Miss Gossa's intuitive assessment of the third level is just like this. Not only will she have to face a constant stream of golden phantoms, but she'll also run into... 'an absolutely untouchable tough nut to crack.'"
Lady Rose: "An absolutely untouchable tough nut?"
"Yes, while the others may not be entirely accurate, there is definitely a tough nut to crack. With this tough nut to crack, it will be impossible for us to get through the third level."
"And don't forget, Mrs. Rose, you still have gold jewelry."
Although the side effects of this gold artifact are not significant due to Miss Gossa's help in its selection, its golden penalty is that one will become emotionally sensitive and suspicious.
Given Lady Rose's condition, even if it is used three or five times, it will not have a significant impact.
But what if it's used thirty or fifty times?
At that time, Lady Rose's emotions would become extremely sensitive, which might even directly affect her personality, something Miss Gossa would obviously not want to see.
Therefore, they absolutely cannot go to the third level.
"But after clearing the second level, I had a feeling that even if I hadn't chosen the gold items, I should have been able to pass the Golden Illusion..." Lady Rose muttered.
Therefore, Lady Rose had some questions: If she could pass the test without gold, why did she have to choose gold?
“Your intuition is correct. We can pass without gold, but our final score won't be as high as it is now.” The Magic Flute extended its metallic hand and gently placed it on the chest with a noticeable crack. “Miss Gossa’s intuition tells her we can't enter the third level. But how can we get the highest possible score without entering the third level?”
"Miss Gossa's solution is... to clear the second level of the Golden City at the right time and in the right way."
As the Magic Flute spoke, Lady Rosefellow seemed to understand something.
The Singers team received a high score this time because Observer Maggie gave them a score of 40. In other words, the Observer's evaluation of them was very high, even higher than that of Rabbit Hole.
Why does it have such a high rating?
In fact, even now, Mrs. Meiye doesn't quite know.
But now, after hearing the Magic Flute's explanation, she seemed to vaguely grasp some of the clues: "So, whether it was letting me choose gold items in the market on the first floor, or having to close the gap of only a few minutes between me and the Rabbit Hole team on the second floor, it was all Miss Gossa's scheme? Just to get the highest possible score?"
"Planning?" Magi shook his head calmly. "No, Miss Gossa simply did what she should have done at the most opportune time."
"Everything is intuition, everything is the will of Heaven."
Miss Gossa doesn't have such terrifying "predictive" abilities; predicting the future comes at a price, but intuition doesn't.
She actually had no idea what would happen on the third floor, or what would happen if she didn't choose the gold items.
But relying on her intuition, she managed to find the optimal solution: although she didn't get a perfect score, her score was still close to that of the first place winner.
This is already the best result.
……
The private conversation of the Singers' Team was unknown to those at the Stone Table Meeting.
After finishing their discussion on the "post-war summary," they moved on to a new topic.
The main speakers at this event were Ivyda, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, and the Crystal Eye tribe members beside her.
They brought information about the new level.
And this level is called the Echo Library.
“My name is Thereta Dawn, the poet of the Dawn Poems.” The Crystal-Eyed Clan member beside Ifta stood up gracefully, gave a refined bow, and spoke gently.
Theresa…Dawn? The Poem of Dawn? The Poet?
As soon as this Crystal Eye Clan member opened his mouth, he uttered several words that puzzled everyone.
Seeing the skeptical looks in everyone's eyes, Ivyda quickly nudged Thereta and stepped forward, saying, "Excuse me, Thereta is a poet, and her speech is a bit literary."
Although Thereta was pushed aside, he didn't seem angry. He nodded slightly in response to Ifta's chime-in.
“It’s alright, I’m just a little curious. After all, it’s the first time I’ve heard this kind of Crystal Eye Clan name,” Angel said.
Ifda looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Dawn is Thereta's pen name. His real name is still Thereta. Don't worry about the Dawn suffix."
Thereta's poetry collection is very famous among the Crystal Eyes, and even Luigi has performed his poems.
However, there is a very typical situation for these writers: their works are famous and everyone knows their names, but no one recognizes them when they go out.
After all, it's not a stage performance; this is a common problem for those working behind the scenes.
Thereta didn't care about this empty title at first, but something seemed to happen later that changed his mind.
Eveda couldn't find out exactly what happened, since she couldn't log off and had been asleep for so many years that she was unaware of many things. However, she vaguely heard people mention that Thereta had been treated differently because another person was a famous actor, while she was "unknown."
Since then, Teresa has added a "suffix" to her self-introduction, including her pen name.
That way, others will know who he is just by hearing his name.
Of course, Iveda never sought confirmation from Thereta about this rumor, for fear of reopening old wounds.
However, Thereta's way of introducing herself was indeed the first time Iveda had ever encountered it.
“Tereta is also a member of this raiding team. He led a squad called ‘Dawn's Poem’.” Ivyda: “As for him saying he is the poet of Dawn's Poem, just think of him as the team leader.”
After Eveda finished explaining, she glanced at Thereta with a hint of helplessness.
Theresa gave him an innocent look in return.
She could only sigh silently.
Although Thereta is a bit strange, as a famous poet who has been on the battlefield, he has a certain level of combat ability and is currently the most suitable person to conquer the "Library of Echoes".
After all, this level requires a deep foundation of knowledge and artistic understanding.
