I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense Chapter 2087 - 2114: I Have the Standard Answer

Li Xiaobai threw him out.

The mont he lost control, the man suddenly launched a surprise attack, punching Li Xiaobai with his fist covered in a faint layer of fire.

"So fighting is allowed, excellent."

Seeing that he wasn’t punished for taking action, Li Xiaobai relaxed his mind.

Materialism accompanied, he slapped the man to the ground.

"Tell everything you know, why enter other classrooms, and what does preaching an?"

Li Xiaobai asked.

"You... who exactly are you, how can you have such power?"

The man was shocked, it was his first ti encountering such a being.

Li Xiaobai said flatly, "You don’t need to know. Answer my questions honestly and I might spare your life."

"Heh, it’s no harm telling you. My na is Wang Sheng, a flat person."

"In this Land of Laws, there are only flat and round people. I advise you to choose a side quickly, or the consequences could be dire."

"Also, there are unwritten rules here; killing is not allowed, otherwise, you will face endless pursuit."

Wang Sheng said coldly, unafraid of Li Xiaobai’s threat. In this place, no one can act recklessly, though the basic common knowledge would eventually be known to the opponent. Telling a bit in advance might ease relations.

Li Xiaobai: "What do flat and round an?"

"As I said, those who think the world is flat are flat people, and those who think the world is round are round people."

"To escape this cursed place, everyone must reach a consensus, aning everyone in the building must agree the world is either flat or round before the Law will vanish."

Wang Sheng explained the rules of this place.

The rule is simple: one question, is the world round or flat? Everyone choosing the sa answer allows them to leave.

But such a simple requirent has never been achieved, as so people are recruited when they are on the brink of death. Leaving imdiately would an facing death. So are being hunted, while others rely don’t wish for their enemies to leave too.

The reasons are varied, causing the answer to never unify.

Li Xiaobai frowned: "So you’re saying if even one person chooses differently, we’ll never get out?"

"Not exactly. If you choose the flat theory, you have to argue why it’s flat. If your reason is valid, it counts. But if you can’t provide a reason, you’ll be erased by the rules."

"However, this rule is practically useless. We’ve tested it. Any random reason will do, even if you say it looks flat at a glance—you’ll pass."

"And because of this, both flat and round are justified."

Wang Sheng said.

"What’s the aning of the weekly competition?"

"Every seven days, the flat and round groups et once, trying to recruit people from the opposite faction until everyone stands on their side."

"So you were recruiting earlier?"

"Exactly. You newcors are unaware and are resources that must be contested for imdiately; selecting your team beforehand ensures you’ll choose our camp when the competition begins."

Li Xiaobai reasoned, "Given that when the first group entered this world, if they all truly followed their hearts and chose round, the Law would collapse."

Wang Sheng said, "That’s an ideal situation. Not everyone can react imdiately. What you describe would require everyone to be geniuses. In reality, everyone has their own calculations, mixed with many naive fools."

Li Xiaobai: "How many people are here now? Are there only flat and round? No other factions?"

"There are twenty classrooms per floor. I don’t know how many floors in total. Every ti new people enter, the number of floors increases. This ti, it should have added thousands more."

"So you’ll never get out, flat and round will contest endlessly."

"There’s no helping it. People need sothing to do to keep going, gives them hope."

Wang Sheng understood what Li Xiaobai ant. With more people and the rule against private killings, without being able to use force to coerce or bribe, the two groups’ answers can never unify.

Li Xiaobai asked, "Since both flat and round have their theories, how do you bring round people into the flat camp?"

Wang Sheng: "This place allows cultivation, but progress is slow. We usually promise resources to recruit people."

"Can’t you find flaws in their argunts and force them into your group?" Li Xiaobai asked, believing failure to argue would lead to eradication. The rule shouldn’t be pointless.

Wang Sheng laughed: "Of course you can. Most argunts are absurd; with patience, you can refute them, but then what? After spending a lot of ti and effort, you might only recruit a few hundred people, far from changing the situation."

"Not to ntion, whether it’s flat or round depends on our whim. If you want to use the Law to erase , I’ll change sides to round at the first sign of danger. After you leave, I’ll switch back to flat. What can you do? It’s a rule proven useless over countless generations. Sounds useful, but is essentially worthless."

"As for other factions besides flat and round, they don’t exist, because the question is: is the world round or flat? There are only two answers. Can you answer that it’s square?"

Wang Sheng laughed again. Every newcor had these questions, breaking their lofty fantasies, giving him a sense of superiority.

Li Xiaobai nodded: "I understand. You can leave."

"Can you join the flat first? I won’t stop you if you want to switch to round later. Just choose flat next ti the competition occurs."

Wang Sheng said.

Li Xiaobai: "Does that have any significance?"

"Joining the flat counts toward my achievents. Recruitnt, you know, each head can exchange for many resources."

Wang Sheng pondered, his face a bit awkward.

Li Xiaobai looked at him strangely: "I’ll think about it."

"Great, looking forward to your good news."

Wang Sheng left, leaving only Li Xiaobai and two others in the hallway.

The frail female cultivator looked at him with admiration: "As expected of a master, you figured it out so quickly."

"Let’s head back."

Li Xiaobai led the two back to their classroom.

According to Wang Sheng, the unfortunates were now in the transition period, requiring two hours to transform into flat people when deciding, the sa goes for choosing round.

Ye Qiu and his group were also on their way back, and they t at the classroom door.

Ye Qiu looked excited: "I’ve got a handle on the rules here; let’s go inside and I’ll tell you."

Inside the classroom.

Ye Qiu animatedly shared the information he learned with the group. Seeing the indifferent reaction of Li Xiaobai and the others, he was a bit displeased: "Why aren’t you reacting at all?"

"Well, Brother Ye, the master has already figured out this ga. We can just follow his lead."

The female cultivator spoke timidly.

"You’ve figured it out?"

"So quickly? I t soone from the previous generation and learned from him."

"Master Brother, do you want to choose round or flat?"

Ye Qiu felt uneasy. Without Li Xiaobai, he would surely be the team’s backbone. With his intelligence, why did they have to bring in a genius?

"After all, it’s just a ga. As long as everyone gives the sa answer, it doesn’t matter what you choose."

"I have a standard answer that can quickly make everyone choose the sa as ."
