[ ~Ding! Congratulations, Esteemed Aalto. ]
[ Incorrect answer. ]
[ The correct answer is " A. Have you seen my crown? " ]
[ Esteemed Aalto will receive the following punishment: For one month, all your weapons will alternate between firing forward and backward, dealing damage to the target. ]
〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Aalto: "??? No… why are you serious this time? ⦍CryingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Iuno: "No… what kind of punishment is this? What about the promised tsunami-level lightning punishment? ⦍DumbfoundedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
King Pufferfish: "Cool~ cool. Exactly. Exactly, at the very least, a Raging Wave peak fire punishment would be acceptable. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Camellya: "Pfft. Hahahahaha… I think if Aalto had a choice, he'd even prefer the punishments you received."
Aalto: "No way. I can't handle tsunami-level, but if I could choose… I'd indeed be willing to endure the Raging Wave peak fire punishment."
.....
" In Between "
At this moment, Aalto, already in Jinzhou, immediately pulled out his pistol and tried it after receiving the punishment.
Sure enough… the first shot was fired backward, and his shoulder was already hit.
The only thing worth celebrating was that he hadn't used his resonance ability… otherwise, his entire arm would probably be crippled.
And with that, this punishment effectively sealed away more than half of his strength!
One must know that he originally relied on his Aero attribute resonance ability, which allowed his bullets to be extremely penetrating and fired at a speed of hundreds per second.
It was also because he had such a unique skill that he could act as a guardian, traveling outside with little Encore.
But now, you're telling him that when he shoots, he has to pull the trigger once forward and once backward, and the first bullet each time is randomly forward or backward…
Doesn't this mean he can't use any weapons?
After all, given the chat group's nature, he didn't think he could exploit a bug… switching to a melee weapon wouldn't let him ignore the punishment.
If he were to swing a knife at himself, or stab himself with a gun… just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

Zani: "It seems this 'doing the opposite' method won't work, or is it that the answer isn't fixed… but rather randomly decided by this chat group?"
Aalto: "Everyone, please stop making fun of me, I'm already very miserable. ⦍CryingJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Carlotta: "Oh. I think what Zani said makes a lot of sense. This chat group is just teasing everyone."
Ciaccona: "But Miss Carlotta, even if that's true… we don't seem to have any way to resist. ⦍FrowningJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
[ ~Ding. Video-related Q&A triggered. ]
[ Question: In the upcoming battle, at what cost did both sides end this battle? ]
[ A. The Crownless punched the Rover, kicked the Mysterious Blue-Hatted Letter Woman, and won this battle. ]
[ B. The three women all sacrificed themselves, causing the Rover to go berserk and ultimately win this battle. ]
[ C. The Rover's strength was exceptional, and he defeated the Crownless alone. ]
[ D. The Rover and the Mysterious Blue-Hatted Letter Woman together defeated the Crownless. ]
[ This question will enter' (first-to-answer) mode in one minute, everyone can participate. ]
[ Answer correctly to receive a ✦✦✦ Silver Treasure Chest, answer incorrectly to receive a corresponding punishment. ]
Ciaccona: "This time it's clearly much harder than before, judging from the video… it seems every option is possible."
Cartethyia: "Usually in stories about knights, shouldn't the knight sacrifice themselves in the end to protect everyone?"
Little Drifter: "...(Thank you, you drunkard, for cursing me.)"
Lupa: "I think the second option is the most likely; it's normal for those with insufficient strength to fall on the battlefield."

"How is that guy talking? Is he looking down on Yangyang, Baizhi, and me?"
Chixia immediately retorted, as for why she didn't retort in the chat group… it was clearly because she secretly believed that statement herself.
After all, judging from the video footage, the Crownless, currently in a time-stopped state… was giving her too much pressure.
"Alright~ alright. Get ready to answer quickly, I know this answer."
Rover waved his hand, signaling the two women to focus. He now understood.
Although this chat group didn't belong to him, if one looked closely… it could really be said to be tailor-made for him.
After all, as long as he successfully answered first, it was basically a sure thing. So what reason was there to waste such a heaven-sent opportunity?
It was precisely because of this that, from this moment on… the heavy burden of saving the world on his shoulders instantly lightened.

[ ~Ding! First-to-answer countdown 10, 9, 8, 7…. ]
[ ~Ding! Congratulations, esteemed Sanhua, for successfully answering first. ]
[ Please provide the correct answer within two and a half minutes, esteemed Sanhua. ]
[ Answer correctly to receive a ✦✦✦ Silver Treasure Chest, answer incorrectly or time out to receive a corresponding punishment. ]
〜Exposure Chat Group〜
Sanhua: "Ah? It's me?"
Sanhua: "I choose the fourth answer, D. The Rover and the Mysterious Blue-Hatted Letter Woman together defeated the Crownless. "
Sanhua: "Because only answers one and four are related, and as the savior, the Rover would certainly not fall into the hands of the Crownless."
Sanhua: "So the final answer is self-evident, it can only be the fourth one."
[ ~Ding! Congratulations, Esteemed Sanhua. ]
[ Correct answer. ]
[ Reward: One ✦✦✦ Silver Treasure Chest. ]
Jinzhou Resident: "Sanhua-sama is amazing, getting the reward so easily. ⦍SmilingJinhsi.jpeg⦎."
Iuno: "Is that so? She really does have some skills."
Sanhua: "You're too kind, in fact, these were all deduced by Changli-sama; I merely basked in her glory."
.....
" In Between "
After saying this, Sanhua stepped forward, intending to hand the treasure chest to Changli.
However, Changli smilingly refused, stating that since Sanhua seized the opportunity… then this treasure chest rightfully belonged to her.
Jinhsi, on the side, naturally had no objections, as Sanhua was her personal bodyguard.
