# Chapter 275: Rules Cannot Be Broken
Searching the entire amusement park alone was absolutely impossible, so finding this key point could only be done by putting some effort into the plush dolls.
If the plush dolls were being controlled by the instance boss, then every plush doll they encountered was essentially face-to-face communication with the boss. Everything the plush dolls displayed was the instance boss itself, and more or less some information would be revealed.
Liking candy, willing to save money to buy candy for themselves, adhering to the principle of voluntary exchange, and hating Peng Ru so much they wouldn't even touch her—these behaviors combined seemed very much like a child. Of course, this "child" could also lie, and what they revealed wasn't necessarily true.
"According to your speculation, if the plush doll hates Peng Ru, there should be a special reason," Yan Jiayu said. "Could it be that she did something that caused the plush doll's dislike? The amusement park is constantly under the plush doll's surveillance—will our difficulty in clearing the instance increase?"
Xu Huo listened to the sounds coming from the tent. "Since our goals are the same, traveling together for now is fine. We can split up if the situation turns bad."
Yan Jiayu nodded.
Not long after, Peng Ru and Jin Chao came out of the tent. Peng Ru had sustained some minor injuries and said to them, "Be careful—the bear inside is very strong."
"The game in this round is guessing coins. Twenty different soundproof boxes hide one silver coin. Guessing the coin's position means winning," Jin Chao said. "But if you guess wrong, the bear will go berserk and attack."
"Thanks." Xu Huo responded and entered the tent with Yan Jiayu.
There were other players inside the tent. Three bears sat on the ground, each with twenty multi-sided boxes of different colors placed before them. Every side of the boxes was coated with special paint that reflected colorful light under the illumination, slightly dazzling.
The two sat down before one bear. The bear took out a coin and covered it under one of the boxes, saying, "One person plays at a time. As long as you can grab the coin under the box, you get a small hat. Best of three rounds."
"How did the rules change? Didn't you say we just had to guess which box the silver coin was in?" Xu Huo said.
The bear bared its teeth, leaning its head close to him and exhaling a breath, "Did someone tell you that games in the amusement park can't change their rules?"
"That's not the case." Xu Huo made a gesture of invitation.
The bear raised its claw and pointed upward. Taking advantage of Xu Huo's gaze following its direction, it quickly moved the boxes before him. By the time Xu Huo looked down again, all twenty boxes had been shifted once, and he had no idea which box originally held the coin. Moreover, the coin inside the box made no sound when shaken, making it impossible to locate by hearing.
"Done!" The bear stopped moving, patted its fluffy leg hair, and was about to say something when Xu Huo suddenly reached out, grabbing toward a box on his right front.
"I haven't said start yet!" The bear roared and swung its palm-sized paw down, but this was just a feint. Xu Huo's target wasn't this box at all. As he withdrew his right hand, his left hand casually pushed aside another box and retrieved the coin underneath.
Holding the coin up before the bear, he said, "I win."
The bear's eyes widened. Its mouth opened and closed several times, fangs appearing and retracting repeatedly. After a moment, it swallowed its anger, punched the ground until it cracked, and then said, "Again!"
Xu Huo won the second round just as easily. He tossed the coin up and down. "Best of three rounds, and I've won both. There's no need to start the third round, is there?"
"I said three rounds means three rounds!" The bear said angrily.
"But I've already won," Xu Huo said. "Even if we play another round, you won't win."
"I don't care!" The bear said. "If you don't play, I won't give you the small hat!"
"Breaking the rules, huh." Xu Huo said calmly. "When I get out, I'll definitely spread the word everywhere, saying the amusement park is unreasonable—losing the game but refusing to follow the rules, doing nothing good except bullying guests and children. I'll also tell everyone not to buy candy from the Rabbit Bear Amusement Park—it's expensive and sticky, not worth cheapening the plush dolls here."
"Oh, and I still have half a jar of candy. Might as well throw it all away." Yan Jiayu smacked her lips. "I'm tired of it anyway."
The bear glared at them angrily, but quickly suppressed its temper. It cupped its face with its paws and put on a pitiful expression. "But Bear Bear really wants to play the third round."
Xu Huo curled his lips. "Fine, I'll play with you. But if I get the coin again, you have to tell me where that question-and-answer game spot that no one can find is located."
The other players in the tent couldn't help but turn their heads. One player who had his hand on a box couldn't react in time and was immediately scratched bloody. But winning or losing the game no longer mattered—everyone focused their attention on Xu Huo and the bear opposite him.
The bear didn't seem surprised at all by Xu Huo suddenly adding conditions. It sucked on its claw and said, "Telling you isn't impossible, but this is the amusement park's secret. I can't just say it casually."
"Oh, if it's difficult for you, forget it." Xu Huo fiddled with the coin. "If I play with you, you give me one of the coins."
"What use is this crappy coin?" At this moment, a nearby player couldn't help saying. "Negotiate other conditions with it!"
The bear nodded along.
Xu Huo seemed to have developed some interest and said again, "If I still get the coin this time, you tell me where that place is."
"And if you don't get it!" The bear quickly said.
Xu Huo looked at it in surprise. "If I don't get it, then I don't get it. I'm playing with you, so of course the coin still goes to me."
The bear was shocked. "Are all you adults this shameless?"
Xu Huo nodded. "In the adult world, there must be sacrifice to have gain. You set conditions, I play with you—that's fair."
"So? Still want to play or not?"
"I'll play with you!" The player who had spoken earlier stepped forward to replace Xu Huo and said to the bear, "I can use my prop as collateral."
Xu Huo didn't mind and immediately indicated he could withdraw. The player was delighted and was about to sit down when the bear slapped him flying with one paw. Blood splattered everywhere from the bear claw's strike. The person who was knocked away had a gaping wound on his neck, his head tilted to one side—dead.
The bear stood up at this moment. Its body, which hadn't seemed so massive while sitting, now pressed directly against the tent ceiling. Its limbs and face showed signs of mutation. The corners of its eyes cracked from being wide open, and it panted as it looked down at the other players in the tent. "Even children know that you have to follow the rules when playing games."
The other players cautiously retreated but tacitly didn't leave.
The bear turned its head and, in its current state, said to Xu Huo, "I accept your terms. Shall we start now?"
Xu Huo nodded. The bear let out an ear-splitting laugh, then stomped its foot. Sixty boxes with three coins flew up simultaneously. The bear claw grabbed randomly and shoved them all into its mouth!
