I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival Games

isitely sculpted ceiling, the sparkling crystal chandeliers, the solid Mu family furniture that looks like it’s worth a fortune, the paintings on the walls that look like masterpieces, the exquisite decorations displayed everywhere, and even the carpets that have been changed to match the theme of the ballroom.

Guided by the butler, the group was seated at the long dining table.

Xiao Lan chose a position farther away from the main table because he did not want to be too close to the boss for security reasons and because, after the incident with the maid, he maintained a sceptical attitude towards the aesthetics of Bella’s wife.

On his left is Wang Taidi and on his right is Luo.

The few men who had previously courted the only female player now grabbed seats at the front with such expectant looks in their eyes that they didn’t know whether to call them horny or ignorant.

Without keeping the players waiting too long, the doors on the other side of the ballroom slowly opened and a sound of footsteps came through the door, causing the players to look up.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but Xiao Lan could hear that something was wrong… would a pampered noble lady have such heavy footsteps?

A huge shadow enveloped the doorway, revealing a bit of exquisitely ornate skirt, and a huge figure burrowed through the door frame.
Yes, burrowing in.
The doors of this manor were all already very high, but this lady who entered needed to keep her head down and her back bowed to get in.

The real Lady Bella has finally appeared before the eyes of the players.

She is tall and stocky, estimated to be close to three metres, and the features of her face are exceptionally spread out, with two eyes that look like they were barely put together, with eyes of a completely different shape and colour.

But that’s not the point, the lower half of her face has a nose that curls out high and huge mouth with faintly visible tusks, it’s clearly a combination of human and wild boar.

She also wore heavy make-up, with dark purple eye shadow paired with purple and black lipstick, pushing the quirkiness of her features to the extreme.
She also wore an ornate and elaborate bun on her head, almost half a metre high, which made her appear even taller.

This clearly cannot be a human being.

Madame Bella entered the ballroom with heavy steps, and with each step she took, the players could feel the floor shake slightly.
As the crowd watched, she took the main seat in the dining room.

The male players who had grabbed the front row now had the look of ten pounds of flies on their faces as they moved their bottoms back as far away from the lady as possible, even if it was just a centimetre.

If they could turn back time, they would have beaten that bold self to death.

It’s in a game.
Can anything good happen in a game? Compared to being chosen to be her husband, maybe failing the game wasn’t so terrible.

As Madame Bella sat down, she looked around at the players in the room, ignoring their whimsical and spicy pairings, smiled, reached out with one hand and tapped her chin and said, “Let me take a good look, sweethearts, you’re all here to ask me to marry you, right?”

The voice, on the contrary, is delicate and charming, nothing like her wild appearance.

But it looks even weirder with this appearance.

The players were silent, they really didn’t want to admit it, but according to the game’s setting, they were indeed a group of such fierce soldiers, and for a while their sanity was torn between dignity and life.

Seeing no answer, Madame Bella frowned and fixed her eyes on the male player sitting first to her right: “And you? Lovely little sweetheart?”

The tone was fleshy and slimy enough to give you goose bumps.

The male player shuddered as his desire to survive took over and he looked at the tall monster in front of him and said, “Dang, sure ……”

Madame Bella stared at him for several seconds, and after watching him tremble more and more, she finally gave him a smile of satisfaction.
She nodded to the butler, who immediately rang the bell for the maids to start serving the food.

She then turned to the only female player, her voice teasing, “It seems to be a rare female guest who must be entertained.”

The female player was in a state of shock.

With that, Madame Bella waved her hand, and a maid came up to take the only female player to another place.
She tried to struggle, but as soon as she made a move she was pinned down by the maid with a force that would not allow her to resist.

“Help me, you guys! Help me!” She reached out to a couple of male players who had been courting her earlier.

The men hesitated and gave each other a wink, but did not move.

The only female player present was then taken straight out of the ballroom.

At the sight of the players’ uncertain looks, Madame Bella explained, “The reception for female guests is different from yours.”

The attitude is perfunctory and does not state the specifics.

It seems that the tasks of male and female players are not the same in the presence of the game, and perhaps the female player has a little more difficulty in passing the game.
The female player’s initial plan to get the male player to protect her has now been completely foiled, so good luck to her.

Afterwards Madame Bella and the players had a good talk, or rather a one-sided one.

She introduced the vase in the middle of the dining room, which was her favourite collection, centuries old and made by a famous craftsman of the time.
Xiao Lan hadn’t heard much about the vase, but he had understood that it was poverty value, a large amount of poverty value.

But the way things are going, if someone breaks the vase, Mrs Bella might get furious, and Xiao Lan, who doesn’t want to be chased by a boss at the start of the game, has to put her mental yearnings to rest for now.

Poverty is a dangerous thing, and he will always find an opportunity.

Shortly afterwards, the appetizers were served on beautifully carved dinner plates.

But the appetizers looked sorry for themselves, white lumps of unknown ingredients lying on top of a greenish soup base, with neither the colour nor the flavour nor the presentation of the food, which looked out of place in this sophisticated banquet hall.

Xiao Lan poked his spoon at the unidentified object on his plate in confusion.

At this point, Luo leaned closer to him and said in a lowered voice, “Sir, this food gives me a bad feeling.”

Xiao Lan : “What is it?”

Luo : “Couldn’t tell, there seemed to be something in there that was out of the normal range and gave me a very ominous feeling.”

Xiao Lan frowned as he stared at the appetizer on his plate, something that looked like dark cuisine, but was actually dark in every sense of the word, eh?

“Sweetie~” Lady Bella’s voice rang out again.

Xiao Lan turned her head to see her serving a spoonful of appetizers to the unlucky man sitting to her right with a smile, “Here, try my cooking, I made this for you myself.”

Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but take on a sympathetic look as they looked over.

The male player, faced with the spoon brought to his own mouth, could only drink it down with a stiff smile that was worse than a cry and said to Mrs.
Bella, “Thank you, ma’am …… Your cooking is …… very good.”

The tone was heavy as if he was going to his grave.

Then Mrs Bella did the same to the unlucky man sitting to her left.

Just as the second man swallowed the bite of food in his mouth, the two men changed in full view of the crowd.

The look in their eyes towards Madame Bella was no longer torn and frightened, but suddenly evolved into one of heartfelt adoration and delight, as if they were two admirers who had come all the way to this manor to propose to their beloved.

They all expressed their affection for Mrs Bella.

“Madam, this is the best food in the world I have ever eaten!”

“Madam, your handiwork is simply a stunning work of art that is hard to find in this world!”

“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!”

“There is such a wonderful beauty in the world!”

……

They looked frantic, frantically expressing their adoration for the monster sitting in the main seat.
They wanted to show the passion and loyalty of their love by pulling out their hearts and placing them in front of Madame Bella.

This turn of events stunned the players seated next to him, and several who were still studying their food with their spoons immediately dropped them.

Wang Taidi whispered to Xiao Lan with a miserable white face, “In a way, this is the scariest boss I’ve ever met, you can kill me but you can’t insult my aesthetic.”

Xiao Lan nodded, “A man can be killed but not humiliated.”

Picturing himself being trapped and confessing his madness to this pig-headed man, Xiao Lan was determined that this game must not be lost.
