"Cui Yuan is too naïve to trick me," Zhu Yunyun said, looping her arm through Zheng Qiang's, her disdain for Cui Yuan evident. "Zheng Ge, why do you think Cui Yuan has an item?"
"In special games, the system often gives new players some advantages," Zheng Qiang replied, lighting a cigarette. "On our side, the new male player, Qu Liang, has already died, so the chances of Cui Yuan having an item are pretty high. Of course, not every new player will receive one; it depends on luck, but there's definitely the existence of key items."
Perhaps someone else had already obtained an item; they were all clever players, and it was hard to pinpoint who had the item. Even if one wanted to steal it, they'd need to know who possessed it first.
Some conscientious players would share their items to help others clear the game, while others would burn bridges as soon as they got what they wanted.
