678, Heart-thrilling applause_1

This reward is too harsh, isn't it?!

This was the thought that surfaced in everyone's minds. Although it was a reward of up to 700,000 damage, in the end, it was only a Golden Junior reward, and it shouldn't be this invincible.

Setting rules that would cover ten thousand people—if the rules set by the Snow Emperor were too harsh, wouldn't that be tantamount to a massacre?

Lin Yi looked at the uncertain expressions of the crowd and said with a light smile, "Don't be nervous. As for the rules that the Snow Emperor can establish, there are actually limitations. As to what those limitations are, I won't go into detail. If I did, her reward would be greatly diminished. In any case, her rule setting is not whatever she wants it to be."

Then Lin Yi spoke directly to the Snow Emperor, "Each time you set a rule, there will be a prompt in your mind indicating whether the rule is feasible or not. However, regardless of whether the rule can be implemented, you can introduce it to everyone and let them decide whether to follow the rule."

At this point, when the Snow Emperor was still confused, the Ice Emperor reacted first.

"I understand, the biggest feature of this reward is to deceive people?"

Lin Yi paused for a moment and replied, "You could say that."

As if having an epiphany, the Ice Emperor continued, "If I set an outrageous rule first and find out that it's not feasible, but I don't tell others the truth and instead tell everyone that they must act according to the rule, because there will be punishment or even death for not doing so, no one would dare to bet whether the rule is allowed or not, so they have to act accordingly?"

Lin Yi: "Right, it seems you'll need to teach your sister how to make proper use of this reward."

Can it really be played like this??

So, the so-called Golden Junior reward is actually about psychological mind games??

Is it because they don't dare to bet whether the rule is real or not that they have no choice but to follow it?

The Ice Emperor's face quickly revealed a smile, "Then Senior Lin Yi, you have to tell me what the restrictions on setting the rules are. What rules can be set, and what can't be set?"

Lin Yi beckoned with his hand, indicating for the two sisters to come closer to him.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena frowned, feeling an unconscious alertness rising every time she saw a woman get close to Lin Yi.

The Snow Emperor and her sister approached Lin Yi, and he then gestured for them to bring their faces even closer. With their cheeks blushing slightly, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor exchanged glances before complying. Lin Yi softly revealed to them the allowable range for setting the rules.

After a moment, the sisters' expressions of astonishment mirrored each other.

The Snow Emperor was still okay, but the Ice Emperor showed outright disdain on her face.

"Golden Junior reward, that's it? This is just too—"

The Ice Emperor didn't finish her sentence before her sister covered her mouth.

Bi Bidong astutely caught this scene, muttering softly to herself, "Considering the Ice Emperor's reaction, the allowable range for setting the rules must be very narrow, so the limitations are significant. However, we don't know the direction of the restrictions, we can only guess now."

"We can't afford to guess wrong—if we do, it'll be goodbye after death."

Thousand Waves wore a serious expression.

Qian Renxue nodded, "Moreover, Lin Yi spoke of the direction of the restrictions, not the extent of severity. For instance, many previous rewards that involved death were not allowed, but with directional differences, it might be that being killed by a knife is not permitted while being stabbed by a sword is, so there's no distinction in severity. It's difficult for us to determine by guessing whether a rule is permissible."

"Xue'er's analysis makes sense."

Lin Yi then said to the Snow Emperor, "You can try to establish rules to test the reward now. Oh, and the control range is for you to decide. You can control up to ten thousand people, or as few as one person."

Having finished speaking, he flicked the Golden Light Sphere towards the Snow Emperor.

After fusing with the reward, the Snow Emperor nodded and turned to address everyone.

All present tensed involuntarily.

Just then, the Ice Emperor quickly whispered some advice into the Snow Emperor's ear.

With a smile, the Snow Emperor then said, "For this time, I'll only control five hundred people here at the scene, randomly chosen."

Wang Qiu'er frowned, "That's too cunning. This way, there are definitely five hundred people at the scene who are not controlled by the rule, but we don't know who these five hundred are. Whether they act according to the rule or not, they will be safe, which greatly affects our judgment."

Indeed, Bi Bidong's plan was to observe the reactions of others on the scene at the time, assuming that someone would inevitably act against the rules and be "eliminated." If someone got eliminated, it would mean the rule was feasible, allowing for the narrowing down of the rule's scope.

The Snow Emperor quickly formulated a rule in her mind.

Her mind responded promptly in the form of a light signal, a green light! The rule she had formulated was feasible!

She announced, "In the next minute, everyone must follow Ice Child's commands to clap their hands, and clapping correctly will exempt them from elimination."

The Ice Emperor's eyes shone bright, her mind sharp as ever, and she immediately stepped forward to say, "My commands will only be the numbers 1 and 2, clap only when I say 1, and do not clap when I say 2, you must keep up with my rhythm!"

What?!

What kind of ridiculous game is this?!

The scene erupted into a cacophony of noise, mostly curses.

But despite the curses, the thousand people on the scene decided to follow what the Ice Emperor had said, since no one knew if they were among the five hundred chosen ones.

Ice Emperor: "1!"

"Clap!"

Gu Yuena's eyes widened as she immediately joined the crowd in clapping her hands.

The applause merged to create a thunderous sound, describing it as thunder was in no way an exaggeration.

Ice Emperor: "1!"

"Clap!"

"1!"

"Clap!"

"2!"

Dead silence.

Several people subconsciously went to clap, but they stopped right away.

The Ice Emperor quickly shouted, "121! 121! 122!"

This speed was indeed too quick for anyone to react properly.

The correct response should have been clap-pause-clap, clap-pause-clap, clap-pause-pause!

But when it came to the final '2,' only a lone slap rang out clearly at the scene!

Someone had fallen for the trap!

All eyes, fraught with tension, turned simultaneously towards the Martial Soul Hall's Porcupine Douluo, as he was the only one with his palms together—the last '2' was not supposed to be clapped, but he was the only one who had!

"It's over, I'm going to be eliminated..."

Porcupine Douluo thought in panic.

The Snow Emperor's gaze also settled on him, but after a long while, there was still no reaction from him.

He wasn't eliminated!

Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed with surprise, "This rule is fake! It's not feasible!"

But Bi Bidong quickly threw cold water on that idea, "Idiot, Porcupine Douluo might not even be within the control range of these five hundred people, and moving forward, anyone's 'not being eliminated' cannot be used as evidence to determine the feasibility of this rule."

Chen Xin said, "Unless there are more than five hundred people on the scene who do not follow the rules and nothing happens to them, only then can we confirm that the rule is not feasible, only then can we confirm that the Snow Emperor lied."
