UWP - Chapter 62 - That's It?

Bai Zhi walked out of the maze and completed the survival game in just one minute.

The clown, who had been forced to attack the Wall-nut for a few seconds, rushed back out of the black door just in time to see Bai Zhi open the white door, step inside, and nonchalantly step out again.

Bai Zhi sauntered over to the clown and lazily extended a hand, palm up. "Welp, game over. Pay up. You said it yourself, enter the black door, then exit the white door. I've clearly done it in that order, so it's time to hold up your end of the bargain."

"But you're cheating!" The clown howled, glaring at Bai Zhi.

"Nuh-uh, this is what you call a perfectly rational solution that strictly obeys the rules of the game."

Bai Zhi rolled his eyes and rubbed his middle finger and thumb together in a near-universally-understood gesture.

"I'm too busy to spend half an hour lost in such a dangerous maze playing hide-and-seek with the likes of you. Hurry up, gimme the money, I've got places to be! Or are you just a sore loser?"

The clown huffed and puffed indignantly, it's chest heaving with suppressed fury. Just as Bai Zhi thought it might have an aneurysm, the clown shoved a stack of pale-yellow cards that looked made of jade into his hands with a frustrated, impotent roar.

"Get the Heaven out! People like you are not welcome here!"

"Tch, don't hate the player, hate the game, loser."

Smirking derisively as he tossed out that sick burn, Bai Zhi pocketed the jade-like cards and coolly walked out of the shop. As he got to the door, the sounds of a table being flipped could clearly be heard coming from behind him.

Translator Notes

*Derivative of a Chinese figure of speech. The original phrase is "Since you're so good at spinning a story, why don't you write a book?" as a lighthearted dig at people who are good at cleverly talking their way out of a situation. Netizens took the association further, evolving a variety of rhyming couplets about how bookstores would be saved from destruction or having to close down, *if only* the target of the jibe had used their talents to write a bestseller.
