Chapter 126

Because I watched the manga late today, there were more hot posts about the manga on the Pink Forum than usual.

【Rest assured, sisters, Bai Xuechao definitely won’t die!】

【Wifey’s personality is worth 655 million, more than the other three combined?? (Shocked) (Holding a bowl, stunned) [HOT]】

【Ling Feng’s love is worth 30 million game coins, I can see that I have a lot of love rivals wuwuwu QAQ[HOT]】

【Zhou Chenhao, listen to me! Mom won’t allow you to be in a relationship! [HOT]】

【Hehe it’s me again, I drew Axue’s fanart all night, lewd, enter with caution (shy) [HOT]】

【Beating drums and gongs! Axue is ranked 10th on the “Food Chain” popularity chart! There are still 8 days left to vote, let’s go everyone!! [HOT]】

【Friends, this time only the top 3 characters on the popularity chart will get official merchandise, I want him to get up there! You know who he is! (Roars)】

【It is I, the Emperor, who insisted on voting for my wifey, it is I, the Emperor, who insisted on getting him into the top 10, it is I, the Emperor, who made him hit the hot list and bask in the limelight, if you must blame someone, blame me! Not only that, I also want him to be in the top 3, I want my wifey’s official merchandise! (Screams) [HOT]】

【Bai Xuechao, what a crazy and beautiful young man, I love it! Vertically entering the pit!】

【In a corner no one cares about, a Little Xue with a love value of 0 silently shattered, haha】

【What kind of love can be worth negative 500 (tactical lean back)】

The posts about him were the most numerous.

My gaze swept past the two words “lewd” in the fanart title, pretending not to see them.

Xiao 6 naturally noticed it too, holding up a red heart and letting out a series of teasing “Oh-yo, oh-yo” sounds, even encouraging me, “Dear Host, hurry up and go look at the fanart! They stayed up all night for it! This is love from the readers!”

I turned a deaf ear and hit refresh.

…I had no desire to know what that picture looked like at all!

This time, after refreshing, the post at the very top with a recent reply had changed to the Prophet HOT post that I had seen before—

【Prophet’s second post, this time I’ll try to analyze the information given in the latest chapter of #Special Ability × Food Chain#, let’s see if I guessed anything right =w=[HOT]】

It was exactly the post I was looking for.

I clicked into it and continued to read the OP’s updated analysis.

1502L: Finished reading the manga update, came to see if the OP has updated~ (Peeking head)

1503L: OP, you got face-slapped, you know that. (Laughing while crying)

1504L: The class rep is here, helping everyone recall the content of the OP’s last analysis~

Bai Xuechao’s alignment is both good and evil, helps the protagonist group.

Proposed that Dream Game City is an intelligence machine, discussed the value judgment mechanism.

Gong Ting is the leader of the Apocalypse Society.

Analyzed Bai Xuechao’s information, guessed that the money Xiao Xi’s brother sent home before he disappeared was provided by Bai Xuechao’s sister. Guessed further that Xiao Xi’s brother and Ji Chuanze were from the same bodyguard company, and that Bai Xuechao went to Dream Game City to track down his sister’s whereabouts.

OP proposed in a reply later that perhaps the sister’s disappearance is related to the Apocalypse Society.

By the way, let me share my opinion, it’s normal for manga analysis to get face-slapped, and the OP also has times when they guess correctly, I really like reading the OP’s analysis!

1505L: Axue’s sister is already dead, he definitely didn’t come to Dream Game City to track down his sister’s whereabouts. (Twiddling fingers)

1506L: I just like reading others’ analyses, I feel like everyone’s ideas are very interesting, getting face-slapped or whatever doesn’t matter! But I’m temporarily taking back LZ’s title of Prophet! (Devil’s whisper)

1507L: OP got face-slapped hard, not a prophet anymore~

1508L: Hahaha the person above is such a devil! I also like reading analyses, OP don’t be sad, keep updating! (Making a heart sign with fingers)

1509L: Family, stop teasing the OP, after this manga update, there were over 50+ floors of comments mocking the OP, I’m so scared the OP won’t be able to take it and will stop updating wuwu! Scattering flowers for the OP, please continue to update! (Obediently) (Squatting)

1510L[OP]: Thank you all for your encouragement and support, I’ve received it all! (Catching the heart)

Don’t worry, I will continue to analyze, this post is all about guessing, if I guess right, I’m a prophet, if I don’t, I’m… Xu Junda (sobbing) (just kidding)

1511L: Hahaha when will I ever not laugh at this Xu Junda meme!!

…

1555L[OP]: Let’s talk about Gong Ting and Bai Xuechao first, I don’t care about my face anymore, hit it if you want! (Shouting loudly)

There’s something intriguing between them. I had a feeling after watching yesterday’s update, and that feeling became even stronger after watching today’s. I think it’s very likely that Bai Xuechao knew or had heard of Gong Ting before. Even if he didn’t go to Dream Game City to track down his sister’s whereabouts, he definitely didn’t go there on a whim just for fun. Gong Ting must be one of his objectives.

I believe that Gong Ting fell into Bai Xuechao’s trap step by step, and exchanged his life and special ability.

Based on the content updated so far, it can already be seen that Bai Xuechao is a person with a high IQ and strong cheating skills. When he helped Brother Hao and Ling Feng in the early stages of the Dream Game City arc, he probably didn’t do it spontaneously just because he felt like it. Rather, he was using them to suppress Gong Ting’s arrogance and deplete his game coins.

He destroyed Gong Ting’s confidence bit by bit. When Gong Ting had lost all his game coins and had no choice but to exchange them, he proposed that Gong Ting exchange his life, otherwise he would “threaten” to leave.

In the end, he got what he wished for, and even made Gong Ting bet his special ability.

Bai Xuechao’s goal should be Gong Ting’s life, as for the special ability, I’ll tentatively count it as part of his fun-seeking, an unexpected pleasant surprise.

I’ve said before, the sister’s disappearance might be related to the Apocalypse Society.

So I’ll boldly guess that he wants to get in touch with the Apocalypse Society by holding Gong Ting’s life in his hands.

I also have a suspicion that his proposal later for everyone to bet their personalities was also part of his plan. As for who his target was, it’s hard to say.

1556L: Where is my brain? (Stunned)

1557L: I didn’t think this much at all when I was reading the manga, my mind was just full of ‘wifey is so handsome and amazing’.

1558L: Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration, it sounds like Bai Xuechao planned everything and it was all under his control… (Wiping sweat)

Is it possible that Bai Xuechao was just purely messing with Gong Ting for fun?

1559L: Not an exaggeration, I think the OP’s guess is very reasonable!

1560L: I quite agree with LZ’s guess, Bai Xuechao’s character design is very complex, if you think about it carefully, he seems very deep, it’s not an exaggeration at all to say he was calculating from beginning to end.

1561L: If wifey wants to get in touch with the Apocalypse Society, Jade Liquor is indeed a good entry point. His cheating skills are so good, he can easily win against Jade Liquor.

1562L: As a Xue fan, I also believe that Axue didn’t go to Dream Game City just for thrills.

I’m definitely not trying to raise Axue’s coolness by deliberately interpreting all his actions as having some deeper meaning. He is indeed a fun-loving person, and he seems to be having a good time in Dream Game City, but my intuition tells me that he actually has certain objectives for being there! (Firmly believe) (Nodding)

Reading this, I was a bit impressed by the readers’ imagination.

They were really good at imagining things.

To be honest, back then, when I made Gong Ting bet his life, I just wanted to kill him, and then use my special ability, which can only read the memories of the dead, to read intelligence about the Apocalypse Society. I did have a bit of a wicked taste, wanting Gong Ting to die by the mechanism of his own special ability, and I was also curious about what it felt like to control someone else’s life through Dream Game City.

But in the eyes of the readers, my motive had been raised to another level, making me seem very profound and unfathomable.

However, it also happened to fit my performance from before.

Following the current plot development, readers would, as expected, imagine that the deaths of my “relatives” were related to the Apocalypse Society, so I used Gong Ting to lure out Yuan Lan, and thus entered the Apocalypse Society.

When my villain identity is revealed in the future, it can also be reasonably explained that the deaths of my so-called brother and sister were all lies I made up to fool the protagonist group, solidifying my fun-loving person persona, and that my true purpose for going to Dream Game City was to gather intelligence on the Apocalypse Society for the Dark Organization.

Neither scenario would be affected.

I continued to read the post.

1563L: Am I the only one who cares about the OP’s last sentence? Whose personality does Brother Xue want? (Horrified)

1564L: Hahaha Brother Xue, this form of address inexplicably hits my funny bone.
