Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Golden Ball of the Frog

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The darkness lasted only for five or six seconds, but it felt like an eternity.

Bai Youwei squinted and saw a sphere sliding down from a gap at the top of the cave—its diameter was a perfect fit with the gap, thus it blocked the only source of light when it came down.

After the sphere descended, the light reappeared, and everyone saw a golden sphere hovering under the gap. The sunlight shed on the sphere, making its golden color dazzlingly brilliant and blinding.

“Hello, everyone! I am the Inspector of this game, welcome to the Doll’s Game!”

The golden ball was speaking.

Its tone of voice was lively and childish, like a five or six-year-old child. It spun around in the air, drifted past each person, stirring up gusts of wind—

“We have so many players this time! Five, six, seven, eight, nine… uh-uh, so many! Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty… thirty-three! A total of thirty-three players for the game! Please play earnestly and try your best to pass!” People stared fearfully at the golden sphere, their nerves strained.

Even Hui Ge’s thugs forgot what they were doing.

“Why are you all staring at me like that? Hey! That woman, and you, why are you both crying? You should play the game happily!” The golden ball twisted, showing no expression, but its tone was incredibly animated.

“Could it be that you don’t want to play?” It hummed in displeasure, “If you refuse, you’ll become dolls, you knew that when you came in, right! You can’t refuse to play!”

“Tell us how to play. What are the rules?” Zhang Hua stood up, shook off the mud on his glasses, put them back on, his expression was one of indifference, “Dead sooner or later… I hope it ends soon.”

He seemed to have given up on struggling, there was not a trace of will to live in his eyes.

“It will be very quick.” The golden ball chuckled, “The game duration is only 20 seconds, it will end very quickly!”

Shen MO furrowed his brow.

This place was dimly lit and full of mud everywhere. Whether running or jumping, it would require a lot of effort. If the game time was only 20 seconds, it probably wouldn’t be good news for the players.

Bai Youwei also slightly furrowed her brow.

She knew of her own disadvantage. If the game was action-based and had a time limit, she would probably have no choice but to await her fate.

No one could carry her anymore.

With mud all over the ground, if Shen MO were to carry her, it would just lead to their mutual demise!

“I’m going to introduce the game rules now, everyone, listen carefully! I’ll only say them once, if you can’t remember the rules, you’re likely to die-”

Your translation should closely resemble those of a native English speaker, so please pay close attention to context and nuance.

The tone of the “oh” at the end of the sentence was drawn out very long.

This kind of childish tone was cringe-worthy, but no one cared. At this moment, they were hanging on to every word of the golden ball announcing the rules—

It rotated around for a bit first.

The golden texture of the sphere sparkled under the light.

“Have you all seen it? Here, this is a golden ball. In a while, I’ll throw the ball from any position, at any angle, and with any force, your task is to find me within 20 seconds.”

Jin Qiu spoke with a proud tone, “As long as one person finds the ball, everyone can pass! It’s easy, isn’t it? It’s simple and fun! It’s even better than the games by other Inspectors, right?” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

“What constitutes finding it?” Tan Xiao, like a calf unafraid of a tiger, daringly stood out and asked, “Does it count if I see it with my eyes?”

“No, that doesn’t count.” The golden ball floated in the air, moving from side to side, mimicking a human shaking their head, “There are two criteria to finding the golden ball— fr eenovelkiss.com

One, your hand must make contact with the ball;

Two, the ball must be in a state of rest.

It floated a bit higher and said accommodatingly: “To help you all understand better, I’ll give a demonstration first!”
