Holy crap! This game has way too many elements!
Who the hell came up with these game rules?!
That's so much fun!
155. Chapter 153 The Fight Between the Snipe and the Clam
155.
……
After Zhao Manyan shielded himself and Mo Fan, Guan Yu's attacks stopped.
"Gentlemen, I have a suggestion. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, why don't we join forces and eliminate the ones who are holding us back first?" Guan Yu said.
The rules of this game are indeed complex, but they can also be quite simple when you want to!
If thirteen people eliminate two, then if half of the people agree to team up to eliminate the two weakest ones, then the game will no longer be a free-for-all of thirteen, but eleven against two!
"..."
The group looked at each other, but did not respond.
This elimination round is short, lasting only half an hour, and the conditions for winning are simple: as long as you make sure your number is neither the highest nor the lowest, you just need to stall for half an hour. Everyone who can get here has some skills. Even if you can't beat them, can't you just run away?
The team has just assembled and the members don't know each other well. In such a short time, who knows who is stronger or weaker?
If two who can run are chosen, then two more of the remaining eleven people will have to be chosen, and so on.
Besides, who knows whether the number the person who ran away had was large or small?
At that time, in order to ensure their own digital security, infighting will be inevitable.
This is an elimination tournament that can start anytime!
Therefore, Guan Yu's method is completely untenable.
"..."
"Why aren't you moving?"
Looking at the deadlocked match, Mo Fan, who was about to unleash his full power, was somewhat confused.
"Nonsense, do you think everyone is as brainless as you?" Zhao Manyan retorted.
The people here represent different interest groups, so forming a temporary team is nowhere near as easy as Guan Yu makes it out to be.
A joint effort to eliminate them?
Who will they team up with? Who will they eliminate?
The university competition is not just about a little bit of honor; it's more about the distribution of benefits. Many important resources are allocated based on the outcome of the university competition.
In a one-on-one situation, everyone can do their best and no one can say anything to anyone else. But in the current situation, to put it nicely, it's a joint effort; to put it bluntly, it's a declaration of war on behalf of the interest groups behind them!
Join forces to eliminate the weakest?
What is the weakest point? Who determines it?
Joining forces isn't the most troublesome thing; the most troublesome thing is who decides who to attack!
Because whoever makes the decision bears the responsibility.
Only a fool would put himself in the spotlight just for a game!
Moreover, the National University team has just assembled, and the upcoming inter-university competition is the main event. People will continue to be eliminated afterward. If they keep winning, that's fine, but if they offend someone here and get eliminated later, they're doomed!
The outcome of a competition is temporary; there's a long road ahead!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the people here to unite and decide who to eliminate as Guan Yu said. Even Guan Yu, who proposed this method, only said that the weakest would be eliminated, without daring to name names. Because if he did say it, everyone would really listen to him, and the interest groups behind the eliminated people would not look for anyone else, but only for the person who came up with the idea!
Moreover, with only two out of thirteen people eliminated, most people don't need to get involved in this farce, so reaching a consensus is impossible.
"..."
Time ticked by, and the game remained deadlocked.
However, the positioning on the field has changed significantly.
The five people who had met in Zhuoyuan before—Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Nan Jue—slowly gathered together.
"Let's form a team." Zhao Manyan hid his number ball in his sleeve, revealing the number.
66.
Seeing Zhao Manyan's sincerity, Ai Jiangtu and the others did not hesitate and presented their numbers in the same way.
Ai Jiangtu 99.
Nan Jue 77.
Jiang Shaoxu, 22.
Mo Fan 250.
"Two hundred and fifty?" Zhao Manyan's eyes twitched slightly.
"Your numbers are pretty impressive."
Mo Fan's face darkened. "Could there be something fishy going on with this lottery box?"
Why are his numbers so special?
“So, right now, your numbers are the most dangerous.” Zhao Manyan looked at Jiang Shaoxu and Mo Fan.
The number is random, not one to thirteen, so to ensure absolute safety, we must figure out everyone's number!
"Actually, I already know everyone's numbers," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
Zhao Manyan looked puzzled. "Did Brother Cheng give you special treatment?"
Judging from the demeanor of the five mentors, anyone who isn't an idiot can see that Lü Cheng's status is even higher than theirs. Therefore, this game is most likely the work of Lü Cheng.
Jiang Shaoxu had already discussed marriage with Lü Cheng back in Zhuoyuan, and even gave him a dragon egg as a betrothal gift!
"What back door?" Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at Zhao Manyan.
“When you get the numbers, you can’t help but think about the information, and this information is superficial. I have the ability to hear this information.”
Mo Fan looked at him strangely, "You're such an eavesdropper."
Ye Xinxia had previously explained some of the mind-reading abilities of the Mind-Body type to him, mainly to warn him to be careful, because Lü Cheng's mental strength was exceptionally powerful, and they had no secrets from him!
If Lü Cheng wanted to, he could even forcefully invade their memories using his powerful mental strength!
Just like in the movies, you can directly read their thoughts!
Other mind-based mages may not be as extreme, but their superficial thoughts are still easily detected.
"What are their numbers?" Zhao Manyan asked.
Judging from Jiang Shaoxu's completely calm demeanor, her number was clearly not the smallest.
I never expected that this seemingly most carefree and leisurely young lady would actually be gathering information from the very beginning.
“Mo Fan’s number is the highest,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
Mo Fan's face darkened.
Is he destined to have bad luck?
"And the smallest?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"It shouldn't be Mu Ningxue, right?"
"What, you've got your eye on her?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a smile.
Zhao Manyan's eye twitched. "Don't say things carelessly. I don't want to die young."
"Don't worry, her numbers are safe." Jiang Shaoxu pointed to Guan Yu, who had just attacked Mo Fan.
"His number is the smallest."
"How many?"
"6."
"..."
"What a twisted fate you two have?" Zhao Manyan asked with a strange expression.
Is the smallest attacking the largest, each vying for the center position?
"This is fucking awesome!" Mo Fan couldn't find any other words to describe it for a moment.
He was even ready to suggest that everyone take action against that guy first!
Now they're telling him they're in the same boat?
"I've already given you the intelligence, so please don't lay a hand on me now," Jiang Shaoxu said.
Mo Fan's eye twitched slightly. Would he dare to lay a hand on Jiang Shaoxu?
Putting aside the fact that Lü Cheng was watching from the sidelines, just considering their attributes, Jiang Shaoxu's mind-based nature was a natural counter to his!
