Of course, this heavy topic was clearly not suitable for this moment.
No one was here today to discuss how to fight or how to deal with Shu the day after tomorrow. Today was just a happy gathering and meal for a group of people.
Of course, after the meal, there was an indispensable—rare small game session!
Why a small game?
Shu couldn't understand why this group of girls would always come up with activities that could mobilize everyone to participate when they gathered together. Shouldn't so many people gathering together be divided into several small groups and start chatting about their own things?
Just like when he had just arrived, one group on the sofa, one group in front of the game console, one group of adults, and one group in the kitchen...
Shu remembered that it was like this when he was still in school. Everyone had their own small groups. As soon as free time came, everyone would stick together and talk about everything under the sun, about the popular things in their small circles.
After all, in Shu's cognition, people were different but similar. People with more similarities would spontaneously gather together and communicate based on their similarities.
And the dissimilarities would become a barrier, hindering people from getting closer.
Shu had surfed the internet before he crossed over... at least for a long time, Shu could only concentrate his attention when he was surfing the internet. So, Shu remembered the content he saw while surfing very clearly.
Including those "stereotypes" that had already become memes... even if Shu didn't agree with 99% of the stereotypes, he couldn't help but remember them, and it didn't stop him from talking to himself with these "well-founded stereotypes."
Didn't they say that girls have eight hundred thoughts? A group of three can have four group chats.
For example, a group without Mei to discuss how to sneak food; a group without Bronya to talk about shameful... whispers; a group without Kiana to scold her for being an idiot, and then re-plan how to tutor her...
Hmm... it's indeed well-founded, and the stereotypes are indeed consistent, but something seems to be wrong?
This is definitely not right!
How on earth did this group of girls gather together to play this... this what... uh...
"The Ultimate, Invincible, World-Creating, Ya Tian Mo Cheng Homu Creation Mountain—ARAHATO Collaboration Edition!" At this moment, another man in the room was jumping up and down, excitedly introducing the large mountain of building blocks he had just built.
"This time, I—Siegfried Kaslana, will be the 'God' of Homu Creation Mountain! I will guide you forward, report the battle results, and lead you to complete this—world! creating! final! mission!"
No, what mountain? Ya Tian what? Collaboration with what?
Shu stared blankly at the tall building block mountain that was taller than a person, the super-large beehive chessboard that covered a full ten square meters, and the various magical little props that might be used later, which were circled around the building block mountain. The dead memories began to dance in Shu's mind.
Isn't this the bizarre board game from iPartment that combines online games and tabletop RPGs—the Homu version?! Why does this thing really exist in this world?
And it's an ARAHATO collaboration edition?! Joyce, you bastard—what were you thinking, authorizing this thing?!
Shu had thought that the worst-case scenario would be a board game like Monopoly or Werewolf that could accommodate more than ten people at the same time. Even if he couldn't just watch, he could still weaken his presence and watch others "fight" in the eye of the storm.
But this Creation Mountain thing was not good! If he remembered correctly, this thing had a Truth or Dare session! And there were also fun-loving people like Sin Mal in the crowd...
At this moment, Shu only felt that this world was never beautiful. He felt the strong malice from this world, and the naked, life-disregarding, vicious gaze from the people around him who just wanted to see people have fun.
"Everyone must know the basic rules of Homu Creation Mountain. The ARAHATO collaboration edition doesn't add much. You just need to briefly understand the new rules, props, and events added in the collaboration edition.
"First, the new rules. The first rule, the original rule that the large gold ingot can convert 'Encounter' into 'Event' is abolished, and it can only replace the 'Encounter' grid with 'Duel'... The second rule..."
???
What basic rules? He didn't understand at all, big brother! God!
And, why do you all look so familiar with the rules? Do you even care about the life and death of an otherworldly bumpkin, hey!
And it was true that no one cared.
Among the people present, there were only eight people who knew about Shu's "transmigration." And among them, Fu Hua, Mei, Kallen, Bronya, and Li Sushang only knew the content of Honkai Impact 3rd and knew nothing about Shu's life.
And among the three who had seen Shu's life through the Book of Time, Seele had only glanced at it and was unwilling to pry into others' lives, so she was no different from the few above.
Sirin had watched it seriously, but she was not a super genius with a photographic memory. She could only remember that Shu had indeed come into contact with "Creation Mountain" in the past, and the rest had long been forgotten.
And Kiana...
She doesn't catch a cold in the Far East!
Just like that, with no one caring, Shu listened to Siegfried explain the "rule changes" for a full half hour in the most concise and powerful language, and finally achieved an achievement—
What are you talking about? I only know that I'm going to get my identity card now.
Two identity cards that seemed to carry endless bad reviews were handed to Shu. He looked down and saw a blue-purple Homu with black gas all over its body on the identity card, which was quite familiar.
Shu's expression gradually distorted.
Isn't this Bad Homu? Damn it, don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed your color! I will never forget the black gas on your body in my life.
He turned to look at the other identity card, and sure enough, the two big words "Demon King" were written in the middle of the card with flying dragons and phoenixes. Below was a line of small words.
[When you defeat the "Hero" or all players of the Hero faction are eliminated, you will win directly.]
Oh, a rebel.
Finally, something that Shu could understand appeared. His Dao heart, which had been broken by the successive accidents, was re-stabilized. Shu let out a long breath and began to observe the others on the field.
Hmm? Has Siegfried started distributing the hand cards? Hmm, all five...
As the five hand cards were dealt to Shu face down, he picked them up and took a quick look, then his eyes suddenly went black.
Two equipment cards, one action card, these were all normal.
And the remaining two—
[Truth: You will specify the current acting player to say: Who is the person you least want to give up? (Can be forcibly executed)]
[Dare: You will specify the player in the next round to execute: Expose your most recent chat record. (Can be forcibly executed)]
