Chapter 285: In the Name of the Moon, I Shall Exterminate You Evil Cultivators
As the saying goes, you learn how to play a game after a couple of rounds.
Since everyone here were cultivators, personally rolling the dice would be extremely easy to manipulate with just a slight movement of their energy.
Thus, Zhou Ping, who had no cultivation and looked completely bewildered, was honored with the chance to roll the dice for everyone.
Aside from being able to buy and build on properties, there were also penalty spaces on the board.
As well as some item spaces where one could draw item cards.
The winner could designate one of the losers to draw the ultimate penalty card.
The opening went relatively smoothly. Although the rules were simple, there were details only experienced players would notice.
Zhou Ping stood there woodenly, playing the role of dice god, calmly throwing the dice.
After observing for a moment, Yan Yun confirmed that the dice was fine and the one rolling it, Zhou Ping, was also fine—just a mortal with a tense expression.
Her gaze then shifted to the others, and she didn't notice anything unusual.
Could it be... that this was truly a straightforward game?
But this wasn't Elder Bai's style.
After Chu Xingchen calmly announced that the game had begun, Li Yingling was the first to break through the pack via rock-paper-scissors.
This could be considered a preliminary round, and going first had its advantages.
Zhou Ping rolled the dice for Li Yingling. After tumbling for a bit, it landed safely.
Due to the large number of people, it was inevitably inconvenient for everyone to crowd around one table.
Therefore, at this moment, the large map was created by Chu Xingchen using illusion magic. Each person's image was replaced with a chibi-style avatar, and everyone's current amount of money was displayed above their head.
The properties on the board also had corresponding purchase prices.
The main focus was on a perfect replica. At least, when Li Yingling saw the illusion magic being used like this, her eyes lit up.
In the past, they only played with paper maps. Compared to her master's panoramic illusion magic, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Not to mention anything else, the gaming experience was excellent.
Li Yingling waved her hand grandly: "Buy!"
As her words fell, the property instantly turned blue under Li Yingling's name, and a chibi version of her avatar hung above the land.
At the same time, the amount of coins above Li Yingling's head was deducted.
Watching this series of actions, Yan Yun suddenly felt that it was quite interesting too.
As Zhou Ping continued to roll the dice, everyone's pieces began to move.
Lu Xuan had bad luck. Since he went later, he was more likely to roll the same number as others.
He rolled the same number as Li Yingling.
He gained nothing while having to pay Li Yingling rent.
Fortunately, he was doing slightly better than Yan Yun.
As Zhou Ping's dice landed, Chu Xingchen controlled Yan Yun's icon to move forward, and she very magnificently landed on the first penalty card of the game.
The moment Yan Yun's icon stepped on it, the words "bad luck" in red floated up from her avatar.
Qing He had the biggest reaction. As she waved her hand vigorously, her gaze fell on Zhou Ping as she loudly declared:
"Good! You're actually useful. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Hearing Qing He's blatant partiality, Yan Yun couldn't help but look at her. This little flood dragon was the same as before, but he was rather cute.
Zhou Ping, on the other hand, didn't know whether to laugh or not, so he could only purse his lips silently.
Chu Xingchen said calmly, pointing to the penalty card beside them: "Please, fellow cultivator Yan Yun, draw your own penalty card."
Yan Yun didn't hesitate and used her spiritual energy to draw a penalty card.
[Please hold a long sword and shout—I represent the moon to exterminate you evil cultivators]
Yan Yun's brows instantly furrowed. But just as she looked up, she saw Chu Xingchen very thoughtfully create a chibi version of herself with illusion magic.
The little figure jumped in place, right hand holding a sword pointing to the sky, left hand on her hip, legs spread apart. The chibi's arrogant expression repeatedly mouthed these words without any sound.
As if afraid Yan Yun would try to get away with a simple performance.
For some reason, just looking at the chibi version of herself performing this action made Yan Yun's face feel hot.
What kind of face did one need to perform such an action and say such words?
Yan Yun took a deep breath and looked at her master.
But she saw her master's expression was calm, seemingly indifferent, yet the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch upward, as if he also looked forward to her performing this action.
Damn it!
Was watching her make a fool of herself that amusing?
Chu Xingchen added, "Fellow cultivator Yan Yun, you can draw again and then choose between the two."
"No need." Yan Yun refused directly.
But for Yan Yun, being a sore loser was more embarrassing than making a fool of herself.
Taking a deep breath, under everyone's gaze, Yan Yun summoned her long sword, imitating the chibi's movements—a leap, legs spread, right hand sword raised to the sky, left hand on her hip.
She forced down the inexplicable feeling of shyness, especially doing this in front of a group of strangers and Xie Lingyu. Her voice seemed to be forced out from her throat:
"In the name of the moon, I shall exterminate you evil cultivators..."
Once again, Qing He had the biggest reaction, laughing the brightest and most arrogantly:
"Hahahahaha!"
Xie Lingyu also couldn't hide a smile on her face.
Yan Yun retracted her movements and looked at everyone: "Is that enough now?"
But what answered her was a large, merciless 'X' made of illusion magic.
Following that, the 'X' transformed into two words—LOUDER!
Qing He's laughter became even more unrestrained.
Xie Lingyu also couldn't hold back her smile but still didn't laugh out loud.
Lu Xuan quickly raised a hand to cover his mouth, whether it was an unconscious action or to hide his smile.
He had always thought Yan Yun was a genius who acted beyond her years, but now, playing a game of Monopoly...
Yan Yun actually had such an interesting side.
Yan Yun's gaze met Chu Xingchen's, but Chu Xingchen met her gaze head-on and said:
"The rules are as such. If fellow cultivator Yan Yun really finds it difficult... then perhaps it could also be..."
"No need!"
Yan Yun summoned her spiritual sword again. It was better to be a sore loser than to be more embarrassing than that!
So what if she had to be loud?
Yan Yun moved smoothly, her voice growing louder:
"In the name of the moon, I shall exterminate you evil cultivators!"
But louder than her voice was Qing He's laughter.
Yan Yun pursed her lips, her gaze instantly turning sharp. Besides under Bai Xuanling, when had she ever suffered such a big loss? Now she saw her master's true colors clearly. This way, she was completely unburdened.
She refused to be the only one so unlucky. Her tone was calm yet forceful:
"Continue!"
Zhou Ping, smiling slightly, threw the dice in his hand—who would have thought that immortal realms could be so interesting too.
The layout of Monopoly was relatively simple, and most random events were just about losing money or going to jail.
Perhaps there were just too few unlucky people among them.
Actually, very few people landed on penalty spaces.
Besides Yan Yun, the next one to land on a penalty was Chen Baiqing.
She simply drew a [Meow Like a Cat].
Chu Xingchen didn't play favorites and also displayed a chibi version of Chen Baiqing with her right hand in a cat paw gesture on her cheek meowing like a cat.
Seeing this, Yan Yun felt a bit of relief in her heart.
Maybe they were seriously just playing the game.
Chen Baiqing was also very straightforward and imitated the action, meowing a few times:
"Meow... meow?"
Qing He's eyes widened as she covered her heart:
"Little Baiqing is so cute! So cute!"
