Blue team: "Wood Crack Warrior" X4 - I think this side can work!
VS
Red team: Deep Sea Reef Breaker (Slap Bro) x2 - Clearly, this side is stronger!
Upon seeing the two terrifying and unfamiliar monsters, Chord first looked around.
When she noticed that everyone had the same look of disbelief, she immediately turned around and loudly questioned Cannot.
"Hey, this is a monster we've never seen before! Nobody would dare guess that!"
She really couldn't understand the point of this guessing game; they had never even seen these enemies before, so how could they guess them?
But Kannot calmly pulled his hand from under his cloak and pointed steadily to something not far away: "Friend, you can't say that. Look over there..."
Chord looked in the direction Kannot was pointing, only to find Li Ji acting as if nothing was wrong, inside the front row of enclosures, like he was visiting a zoo, occasionally throwing a couple of apples in...
This even prompted Cannot to run over and pull him back, shouting, "Come here! This isn't a zoo! You're not allowed to feed the players!"
This scene completely stunned Chord.
Is this guy here for some kind of elementary school field trip?
"Wasn't he just picking randomly? If that's the case, then I'll..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized a problem—that guy from Yan Country named Wan Feng, although he seemed to be a real madman, who knew if he was just deceiving them with a formulaic answer?
He couldn't possibly treat all his Originium Ingots as a joke, and Raven, as his teammate, isn't doing anything to stop him... which means he must still know the correct answer.
Why doesn't she just follow suit and invest directly?
But... even now, He Xian isn't sure if her idea is correct, because Li Ji's decision was, after all, a blind throw.
Now, facing two monsters she's never seen before, her chances of winning by guessing blindly are 50%, and her chances of winning by guessing whether Li Ji is lying are also 50%.
The game seems to have really turned out as Li Ji had predicted.
"Fifty or Fifty".
No matter which side you look at it from, the final probability is only 50%.
But compared to analyzing the monsters that are completely unpredictable, it's obviously more feasible to analyze human nature, right?
"Hey, what are you guys planning to do..."
She was thinking of asking the other teams next to her, since they had all plagiarized each other before, why not collaborate again?
However, just as she was about to speak, Cannot spoke first.
"Shhh."
Cannot extended a finger and humorously tapped it on his canned helmet, which completely covered his mouth.
"Before you speak, let me first tell you all a rule about cheating."
"Although this rule is clearly written in the code, I still need to reiterate it."
"While I acknowledge cheating, I will still maintain a degree of 'fairness'."
"And there's one thing I want the trainees to understand: all income you get from cheating will be considered illegal income."
Kannot's voice seemed to come from the underworld, reaching everyone's ears.
"If the cheater loses the game, their illegal gains will be deducted from their final score of 0 Originium Ingots."
"If the final score is negative, you will need to work for me to pay off the loan. You will only be 'released' when the loan is fully repaid."
"Of course, if any of you win first place, the illegal gains will be converted into legal income, after all, history is always written by the victors."
"Excuse me for interrupting, but if you were to repay the debt, how would you do it...?" Chord asked Cannot cautiously.
"It's nothing, just a fight with some of my favorites to win the championship. If you can win, it will be an upset, and the money I make will be enough for each of you to get out of here."
"So what level are these players at now?"
Chord asked again.
Cannot glanced at the chords and said in a low voice, "They're all just for show, to put it simply—average."
After hearing those words, Chord felt his head spin.
This level... is just average?
They witnessed Jeston, as the boss, being riddled with holes by different monsters time and time again.
They can call Jeston trash here because they're on stage.
But if they were actually asked to fight Jeston one-on-one, everyone present knew the answer... because none of them could beat Jeston.
If that's the case, then what level of competition would the favorites to win be...?
If I really have to pay off my debts here, I probably'll never be able to get out of here for the rest of my life!
After he finished speaking, everyone present who wanted to seek help from others immediately shut their mouths in unison.
Because now, everyone could be the executioner who kills the other!
……
[Good, good, good! Blood will flow like a river!]
[You *gall* swearing maniac, if you lose, you'll never see a raven again in your life.]
[Well, what can you do when someone's gone mad? Watching these life-or-death battles is much more entertaining. Besides movies, do you usually get to see live streams like this?]
[Believe in the streamer; they can create miracles!]
"Only thirty seconds left, has no one made a choice yet?"
Li Ji leaned against the railing, looking at the hesitant teams around him, and said with a smile, "Then let me tell you something else. Everyone on the field right now has probably cheated—including me, of course."
After these words were spoken, everyone's gaze first turned to Kannot, who showed no sign of denying it...
They looked once again at the voting machine beneath Li Ji, which was glowing with a deep blue light.
"There are ten seconds left. You can trust me or you can trust your own judgment."
Li Ji didn't explain further, but continued to remind them to make a choice as soon as possible with the countdown.
"Three, two, one..."
As the countdown ended, everyone finally made their choices.
In the end, most people followed Li Ji and chose the blue side, while only Victoria's Dark Rainbow chose the red side.
The battle in the arena also began after the countdown ended.
The four Wood Crack Warriors moved nimbly across the battlefield, their powerful footsteps creating cracks in the ground.
The Deep Sea Rifters' attack was launched the instant the Wood Rift Warriors approached, their ranged attacks allowing them to injure the Wood Rift Warriors first.
[It's a ranged monster? They're doomed once the Woodcutter Warrior gets close!]
[This is the one we're going to choose! Is Wanfeng really a genius?]
[Charge through the cracked wood!]
Just when everyone thought the Deepsea Reef Ripper was just a simple ranged monster, it showed everyone with its actions that its sharp and massive withered claws were not just for show.
The Deepsea Reef Ripper brandished its sharp claws, clashing with the weapons of the Wood Ripper warriors. Soon, the two Deepsea Reef Rippers were engaged in a fierce battle with the Wood Ripper warriors.
"100, 235, 370, 505..."
Although each attack from the Deepsea Reef Ripper is considered a ranged attack, the displayed numbers keep rising.
Along with this, the blood pressure of those who chose the Woodcrack Warrior's side also rose!
"They can even stack attack power? Is this really a winning strategy...?"
Chord clenched his fist so tightly that his nails dug into his palm.
The Deep Sea Reef's attack power is now stacking higher and higher on the field.
However, its health has been dwindling due to the attacks from the Woodcrack Warriors.
[Yes, yes, yes, Mu Lie is really going to win!]
[No, no, no, it seems the Deepsea Reef Rift's attack power has increased; it's about to devour people.]
[Is that right? Who is actually right?]
The tense situation on the field made everyone clench their toes.
Every move happening on the field now determines who will stay in this dueling arena 'for life' as a slacker.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous!
Even under these circumstances, He Xian saw Li Ji still leaning against the fence, swaying as if nothing had happened.
"He's that confident?"
But in that brief moment of hesitation, the two battles, one above the other, each ended in a decisive victory.
The Deep Sea Rift above killed two Wood Rift Warriors at the cost of a sliver of health.
Below, only one Woodcrack Warrior remained, with just one-fifth of his health remaining.
"Kill Mu Lie!"
