In the rest area, quite a few game players who had also made it through the maze were gathered in small groups, quietly exchanging information.
Bai Youwei did not see Yan Qingwen.
She didn't know whether he hadn't managed to exit the maze or if he had already returned to the base with Su Man and Zhu Shu.
After a brief chat to ensure everyone was safe, they prepared to return to the base.
A minor episode occurred in the process—
When Bai Youwei gave Asarina and Along two puzzle pieces as agreed, their glowing wristwatches immediately showed a change, adding an icon for King's Territory.
In other words, from this point on they were bound to Bai Youwei, and could only switch locations between the rest area and King's Territory, unable to leave the King's Territory for anywhere else.
On Bai Youwei's side, her King's wristwatch also displayed an additional information column that showed the profiles of Asarina and Along, and the number of puzzle pieces each held.
