Latest URL: Gray lips parted, revealing huge teeth.

With no support, the giant mouth surrounded by layers of ripples in the air is frantically biting the edible "mountain" under its feet.

Enjoying the moonlight, feeling the feeling of chewing delicious roast chicken, sighed: "Eating with this thing is not only more enjoyable, but also has a benefit—"

The pianist closed his eyes with great feeling: "I just can't get enough to eat, hehe..."

Instead of fully enjoying the current moonlight, Sean has been worrying about the game itself.

He has just told Candidate Max about the method and purpose of the game through playing cards.

At this time, Max was "eating" hard near the "Assorted Sausages" not far from them...

Although the other teams were not as quick as Sean, they also pieced together the whole picture of the game based on various clues and started their own actions.

Because of the quickest response, the scores of Sean and Max still topped the list—but Sean was always a little restless.

His gray beak was eating, but he himself was watching.

Soon, he made another important discovery.

Those towering silver pillars were originally candles on the dining table.

The huge candle flame that was originally burning above the gray mist rolled down one after another teardrops, burning at a speed far exceeding normal.

At this moment, the height of the candle flame has descended into the "world", and everything around is brighter—

There is no doubt that the candle is the countdown mechanism of this game.

When the candle burns out, the game is over, and the score at that time will also determine the fate of each player.

Judging by the rate at which they burn, the game will be over in around twenty minutes.

The members of Sean's team have been working hard to eat with gray mouths, but what happened next was completely beyond Sean's expectations.

Also working hard to "eat", Sean and Max's team, which had been leading the way, were actually overtaken.

And it wasn't just one team, they were overtaken by three teams: "Guardian of the Kingdom of God", "Director of the Cangku Institute" and "Three Nighthawks".

Now the last three are the team of Sean, Max and Deadwood Sages...

why?

Is there something else in this game that I didn't expect? !

Sean was momentarily confused.

Moonlight beside him also noticed this, with the same puzzled look on his face: "Is there other factors that affect the score besides 'eating it'?"

With little thought, Moonlight got the answer: "I see—it's because of the food!"

"Food?" Obviously, Sean, who had been thinking about what details he missed, didn't pay as much attention to food as Moonlight.

"We eat roast chicken!" The moonlight pointed upwards on the plain, "and they eat foie gras, truffles, seafood and veal!"

Judging from Yueguang's tone, it seems that she didn't discover the hidden rules of the game, but was simply annoyed at not being able to eat good things...

Sean slapped his thigh fiercely: "The key to this game is not eating, but 'what to eat'!"

The more expensive or delicious food you eat, the higher your score will be!

"Although progress has been made, why did you do this?" Olivia asked slightly annoyed.

"What's wrong?" Sean was a little confused, "I'm used to patting my thigh when I figured something out."

"But you took mine."

"Oh...sorry.

"No..." Thinking of the delicacies on the first table, Sean felt a little anxious, and started to shake the playing cards at Max, "We can't continue to eat sausages and roast chicken...

"No matter how much you eat, you lose!

"We have to go to the top of the table!"

It was a matter of life and death, they quickly pulled down the Roasted Chicken Mountain, which had been eaten by a quarter, and headed towards the top.

During the transfer process, Sean habitually told Moonlight while thinking about the essence of the game:

"This game has divided the players into two groups from the very beginning.

"One is 'keeping the shape'.

"Because they arrived at the castle earlier, they got seats closer to Peter Pan, so when they went out, there was expensive food in front of them...

"What a conservative player has to do is to guard his one-acre three-point land and eat seriously-but make sure that other people will not get involved in their 'territory'."

"The other type of player is the aggressive type.

"It's also due to the seating problem, no matter how hard they eat, it is impossible for them to surpass the conservative players in points.

"Only when they start running around and grabbing other people's territory and food can they get points...

"This is a game that forces aggressive players to seize the resources of defensive players..."

Sean frowned tightly.

While thinking about the purpose of this game, he suddenly realized something, and continued:

"Peter Pan once said, 'Long speeches are not his style, everything in Midnightland is his expression'  …

"Then, this game is also his expression."

In the process of running fast, Sean's thinking is also advancing rapidly: what does he want to express?

In the rear, the disabled soldier Max was approaching, but Sean had no time to turn around.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had touched the texture of the answer:

"What Peter Pan wants to express in this game is the flow of social classes!"

"The flow of class?" Obviously, the pianist is not like the media person, who often thinks about sociological issues. He looked at Sean somewhat blankly.

The New Testament reporter turned his head, straightened out his thinking, and applied his understanding to this conjecture:

"This game is like everyone's life.

"Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth - they do nothing but 'sit and eat' and outmaneuver everyone.

"And some people..." Before Xiao En's eyes, some children's faces flashed inexplicably...

Little Leon, Thomas, the young Wordsworth, the three young siblings...

"They are destined to survive in this society only if they have to work hard to climb the mountains..."

Moonlight turned her head thoughtfully, thinking about everything Xiao En said.

"If enterprising people want to change all this, they can only choose to work hard and take huge risks to break the shackles of 'poverty' bestowed by fate."

"The conservative will never share their limited resources with the enterprising..."

Classes are like a pyramid on the banks of the Nile, layer upon layer, except for a few people at the top who enjoy everything, everyone at the bottom of the pyramid seems to be embedded in their own world of origin, unable to move.

Want to break through the barriers of class...

Difficult and difficult!

This is a game that presents a tough challenge to the "aggressive".

Here is a small world that is absurd and bizarre, but reflects real life.

At this time, when other teams were desperately trying to improve their scores, they were forced to "migrate" and finally arrived at the new area.

Remnant Max finally caught up with Sean's team.

Father Taylor found that there were three "grey mouths" floating beside Max.

He realized that even if there is only one person left in the team, the game will give relatively fair conditions.

At this moment, in the plain in front of them, there are all kinds of jade-like shellfish and oysters that exude an attractive fragrance...

Their scores are still being drawn, and the game has entered the second stage with Xiao En's comprehension—they will have to find a way to compete for the resources of the "conservatives".

At this moment, in the banquet hall.

Peter Pan looked at those annoying cockroaches, they were eating, working hard, running around on the huge tabletop...

His eyes are distant, playful, and ironic.

Just like looking at the gods in the world.
