You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

#510 - Wang Lina's Purpose

Tang Yin looked at the mysterious girl before him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This girl really knows how to play, the danger is getting higher and higher. But strangely, he found that he was starting to like her a little. This contradictory feeling made him both excited and uneasy.

He asked with a smile, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you not worried about being alone with me, a single man and a single woman, in the same room?"

Wang Lina tilted her head, a sly light flashing in her eyes, "Because you don't really look like a bad guy." She paused, then added, "But, having said that, you seem to be very good at flirting with girls."

Tang Yin was amused by her straightforwardness, but then his expression became serious. "I think, either something happened in your life and you've given up on yourself, so you don't care what happens." He paused, observing Wang Lina's reaction, "Or, you are a self-defense expert with self-defense skills far beyond ordinary people."

After listening, Wang Lina smiled and said, "So rational, are you a science student?" Her eyes sparkled with interest, seemingly amused by Tang Yin's analysis.

She continued to ask, "Regarding me bringing a strange man home, can you think of any other reasons?"

Tang Yin stroked his chin, revealing a smile that was not quite a smile: "For example, I have value to you, or to put it another way, my existence is beneficial to you..." He paused, looking into Wang Lina's eyes, "For example, you need to create an alibi, you need someone to prove that you haven't left this apartment tonight."

Wang Lina's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure. She said with a smile, "You continue."

Encouraged by her reaction, Tang Yin continued, "Or, you are actually a terrifying murderer who wants to get me drunk and then kill me."

After hearing this, Wang Lina suddenly pretended to be fierce, making a gesture of baring her fangs and claws, jokingly saying, "You guessed it."

The two burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant. Wang Lina reached out and gently pushed Tang Yin's shoulder, and Tang Yin also pretended to grab her wrist. They frolicked in this simple room for a while, as if they had forgotten the strangeness of their first meeting.

After the laughter gradually subsided, Wang Lina leaned back in her chair, panting slightly and said, "Having said that, besides the two directions you just mentioned, there should be another direction, right? For example, I'm a good person, I just simply want to help you."

Tang Yin was stunned when he heard this. He carefully looked at Wang Lina's expression, trying to find any traces of jokes or sarcasm. But to his surprise, there was only sincerity and a hint of expectation in Wang Lina's eyes.

"Are you serious?" Tang Yin couldn't help but ask.

Wang Lina nodded, the smile on her face softened: "Why not? There are still good people in the world, aren't there?"

Tang Yin felt a pang of guilt. He realized that he had been looking at Wang Lina with suspicion and vigilance, but had ignored the simplest and most beautiful possibility.

"I'm sorry," Tang Yin said sincerely, "I may be too suspicious. Do you really just want to help a stranger?"

Wang Lina sighed softly: "Living in this world, it is inevitable to become vigilant and suspicious. But sometimes, simple kindness also exists." She paused, and continued: "I saw a past version of myself in you, confused, lonely, and in need of help. If I can provide you with some help, even if it's just a temporary shelter, why not?"

……

After listening to Wang Lina's words, Tang Yin fell into a brief silence. His gaze fell on the beer can in his hand, and complex emotions surged in his heart. 'Has my heart become so dirty?' This thought made him feel a little uneasy and self-reproach.

He raised his head, looked at Wang Lina's bright eyes, and tentatively asked, "Having said that, are you really not afraid of being attacked by me? Or are you also expecting it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lina curled the corners of her mouth into a meaningful smile, a sly light flashing in her eyes: "So you really want to attack me?"

This sentence hit Tang Yin's heart like a heavy hammer. He noticed that Wang Lina's pretty face was slightly flushed, whether it was because of the alcohol or because her thoughts had been guessed. Tang Yin couldn't help being stunned, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Is she seducing me? Or is she just drunk?"

The atmosphere became ambiguous, and the eyes of the two met in the air, as if invisible sparks were jumping. They drank more and more happily, and unconsciously opened another can of beer. Under the influence of alcohol, Tang Yin felt his sanity slowly fading away, replaced by a kind of inexplicable impulse.

At this moment, Wang Lina finally spoke, with a mysterious smile on her face: "You say... is it possible that if I didn't bring you home, something very dangerous would have happened, and I didn't want to stand by and watch."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured on Tang Yin's head, and his slowly lowered heart was suspended again. He realized that things might be more complicated than he thought.

Tang Yin suddenly became serious, his voice with a trace of tension: "Sorry, can you please explain in more detail?"

Wang Lina couldn't help laughing at Tang Yin's nervous appearance: "The wild animals around here are very terrifying. If you camp in the wild, you might die without a whole body tomorrow. If I don't help, I will definitely feel uneasy and have insomnia, so I reluctantly saved you."

Hearing this unexpected explanation, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little embarrassed. He realized that he might have been thinking too much.

Wang Lina suddenly changed the subject and said with a slight tease: "Speaking of which, you are a bad person."

Tang Yin was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Wang Lina's eyes became sharp: "Because when you consider my motives, you didn't consider the direction of kindness at all. It's either a murderer and an alibi, or I'm an unchaste woman."

These words left Tang Yin speechless. He felt a burst of shame, realizing that he did have too many unnecessary doubts and prejudices about Wang Lina.

Wang Lina looked at Tang Yin's embarrassed appearance, and the expression on her face suddenly became playful: "So, what is your answer? If you answer correctly, I will give you a big gift, if you answer wrong, I will chop you into meat sauce~"

Even though he knew she was joking, Tang Yin still felt a burst of heartbeat acceleration. He carefully thought about every word Wang Lina had said before, trying to find the correct answer.

……

At this time, four options suddenly popped up in front of G-sauce, who was live-streaming the game, causing her to fall into deep confusion.

These options were like a mirror, reflecting Tang Yin's deepest suspicions and prejudices. His gaze wandered between the four options, each of which seemed to contain different meanings and consequences.

[Option 1: You are a woman who has given up on herself]

[Option 2: You are acting with criminal intent]

[Option 3: You are an unchaste woman]

[Option 4: You don't want to stand idly by]

Tang Yin felt a headache, this choice was too difficult. Each option could lead to completely different results, and each could offend Wang Lina. He couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

At the same time, the audience watching the game live broadcast also launched a heated discussion because of these four options. The live broadcast room instantly exploded, and barrages rolled rapidly like raindrops.

Some people firmly supported Option 1: "It must be self-abandonment! A woman living alone in this kind of place and bringing strangers home casually, what is it if it's not self-abandonment?"

Others thought Option 2 was more likely: "You guys are too naive, right? Such a remote place might be a base for a criminal gang!"

There were also many viewers who supported Option 3: "Please, such an obvious hint, isn't she just trying to have something happen with the protagonist?"

But there were also many rational voices supporting Option 4: "You're all thinking too much, right? People just want to help others, why do you have to think badly?"

The debate became more and more intense, and some people even started personal attacks. Some viewers thought that those who chose the first three options had dirty minds, while others ridiculed those who chose the fourth option for being too naive.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Just when the live broadcast room was about to get out of control, the game streamer G-sauce suddenly spoke: "I think she doesn't want to stand idly by, so let's go with my idea."

G-sauce's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on a boiling oil pot, calming the restless live broadcast room a little. Many viewers began to rethink this issue, and some even felt ashamed of their previous prejudices.

In reality, Tang Yin was still struggling with how to choose. Just then, he seemed to hear a faint voice guiding him to choose the fourth option.

"I choose the fourth option," Tang Yin took a deep breath and said, "I think you don't want to stand idly by."

Wang Lina's face immediately bloomed with a bright smile when she heard this answer: "Congratulations on choosing the correct answer!"

Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had passed a difficult test. Wang Lina continued: "Actually, it's very dangerous around here. In addition to deer and wild boars, there are also wild dogs and bears."

Tang Yin couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "Damn, there are even bears?" He suddenly realized that if it weren't for Wang Lina's help, he might really face a life-threatening situation.

Wang Lina looked at Tang Yin's shocked expression and suddenly revealed a mysterious smile: "However, around here, the most dangerous animal is not a bear~"

Tang Yin was stunned, and his curiosity was immediately aroused: "What do you mean, there are animals more dangerous than bears?" He tried hard to recall the dangerous animals he knew, but he couldn't think of anything more terrifying than bears.

A sly light flashed in Wang Lina's eyes, and she slowly said: "Of course, for example, snakes, apes, crows, spiders..."

Tang Yin felt a strange chill when he heard the names of these animals. He carefully observed Wang Lina's expression, trying to read more information from it. "How can these animals be more dangerous than bears?" he asked suspiciously.

Wang Lina didn't answer directly, but smiled mysteriously: "Do you know, in many cultures, these animals have special symbolic meanings. Snakes represent wisdom and temptation, apes symbolize flexibility and cunning, crows are often associated with death and ominousness, and spiders represent patience and the ability to weave fate."

Tang Yin listened attentively, but still didn't fully understand what Wang Lina meant. "So, are you saying that these animals have some kind of mysterious power?" he asked tentatively.

Wang Lina shook her head, a deep light flashing in her eyes: "No, what I want to express is that sometimes, the most dangerous is not the largest or most ferocious-looking creature. The real danger is often hidden in inconspicuous corners, appearing in ways we don't expect."

These words made Tang Yin fall into contemplation. He began to realize that what Wang Lina said might not just be a warning about wild animals, but a philosophical reflection on life.

"Then," Tang Yin hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his heart, "What do you think is the most dangerous thing here?"

Wang Lina's eyes became deep, as if she was looking into the distance: "The most dangerous thing is always the human heart. Each of us may become that snake, that monkey, that crow, or that spider. We may use wisdom to deceive, use flexibility to evade responsibility, bring misfortune, or weave traps."

Tang Yin was a little dazed. He didn't expect a simple question to trigger such a deep discussion. He felt as if he was standing at the entrance to a new world, waiting to explore more unknown mysteries.

Wang Lina looked at Tang Yin's thoughtful appearance and smiled gently: "But don't think too complicatedly. Let's have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, I'll take you to see the beauty of this forest, and maybe you'll have a new understanding of this place."

After listening to Wang Lina's words, Tang Yin couldn't help but show a wry smile. He shook his head and said with a slight tease: "Although what you said sounds quite profound, you don't seem to have any concept of the danger of bears."

His tone was playful, as if testing Wang Lina's reaction.

Wang Lina was not troubled by Tang Yin's question. Instead, she maintained her mysterious smile. She leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice:

"Of course... the most dangerous thing... is the wolf!" A strange glint was shining in her eyes, as if she was telling an ancient legend.

Hearing that, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked around, as if checking his surroundings, then said with some doubt: "Wolf? This area is accessible to human civilization, so there shouldn't be any wolves, right?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone, after all, he knew very little about this unfamiliar land.

Wang Lina heard Tang Yin's question, and slightly narrowed her eyes. Her expression became even more mysterious, with a faint smile: "Who knows, after all, this is a remote countryside." There seemed to be some deeper meaning hidden in her words, making people want to investigate.

Just as Tang Yin was still thinking about the meaning of Wang Lina's words, she suddenly changed the subject and asked a seemingly unrelated question: "This little brother, since I've already brought you home, do you think... will you turn into a wolf?" There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was conducting some kind of test.
