Hundreds of meters above their heads hung five luck badges.

The stage is set; the competition for the "Luck Badge" begins.

[The current badge competition rules are now being announced:]

1. Each player will receive two face-down cards each time, one for life and one for death.

2. Those who receive a "live" card will be unharmed; those who accumulate three "live" cards will receive a luck badge.

3. The person who receives the "death" card loses the support of their seat and falls off the cliff.

4. When all badges are taken or there are no more participants, the current competition ends. Participants may remain and wait for other participants to arrive.

5. If you choose to leave, based on the mechanism that "different competition rules apply to badges of the same type", the number of live badges you have accumulated will be cancelled.

6. Cheating is allowed.

......

Everyone saw the rules and roughly understood the terms of the so-called Luck Badge competition.

It's very simple, it's all about luck!

If you're lucky, you'll easily get a badge; if you're unlucky, you'll fall. As for whether you'll die after falling, or whether you'll be eliminated after dying... well, you'll have to try it out. The mechanics don't say.

The rules are simple and straightforward, but people still look at them with strange expressions.

What does Article 6, which allows cheating, mean?

So, there are people who can cheat using magical methods even when they have completely lost all their competitive advantages?

How is that possible? We can't even break free with our hands and feet. Are you expecting us to cheat with our mouths and noses?

"Buzz buzz buzz~!"

Suddenly, a small platform appeared beneath each high chair, with two grooves on the metal surface. The device inside the grooves operated, slowly releasing two face-down cards.

The distance between the metal countertop and each person is just right—a distance that allows them to see but not touch.

Even when blowing air into it or struggling to move its body, it cannot touch or flip the metal card.

Please select:

1. Turn over the card on the left.

2. Turn over the card on the right.

3. Replace the two hidden cards with two new ones.

The message appeared in front of each survivor, and they looked at each other, but no one made a move.

The process of flipping the card is very simple, and you don't even need to do it yourself; you just need to confirm with the mechanism.

But the problem is... what's hidden under those two cards? Who can know?

No one knows for sure; it's not a 50/50 chance. There's also the possibility of extreme luck with two live cards and a hopeless situation with two dead cards.

How should I choose? Should I change my cards?

People were mostly hesitant, constantly glancing around at those around them, trying to find some useful clues to help them make inferences.

Several people were frowning, racking their brains, trying to find subtle clues in the rules, the environment, and the differences in the cards to determine which card was a live card.

Su Lin didn't look at it, nor did she want to do any analysis.

Without using his divine sense, he couldn't tell the difference between the two cards; it seemed to be a pure contest of luck.

Let's keep it simple and see how lucky I am.

"Turn over the hidden card on the left."

Su Lin spoke slowly, and his voice immediately attracted the attention of all the survivors. Nineteen pairs of eyes turned to look at him.

The strongest has made their choice!

He's the best player, with extraordinary experience and winnings in matches. His choice is probably correct, right? Can he offer us some help and guidance?

People stared intently, trying their best to see the metal table in front of Su Lin.

As Su Lin confirmed, the hidden card on the left in front of him slowly flipped open without any wind, revealing a metal card with an extremely simple design, outlining only one character.

"die!"

The blood-stained word "death" almost pierced the eyes of every survivor.

Someone couldn't contain their surprise and almost shouted, "He drew a dead card! How could he draw a dead card! How unlucky!"

The man tried to suppress his shock and elation, and to show sympathy, but he couldn't suppress the strange tone of his voice, which sounded like a hoarse crow.

The others stared wide-eyed, some in shock, some in surprise, some in regret... In a short moment, their expressions varied, no one had expected the strongest to be eliminated so quickly.

Indeed, luck really does play a big role.

Almost the instant the man shouted, the high chair beneath Su Lin suddenly loosened, the weight-bearing device vanished into thin air, and the entire high chair, binding Su Lin's body, plummeted at high speed!

Not long after.

"boom!!"

A deafening roar came from below the cliff, making everyone turn their heads and tremble with fear.

Nineteen pairs of eyes focused on the bottom of the cliff. The distance was too great for ordinary people to see clearly. They could only vaguely make out that the chair seemed not to be broken, but it had created a deep crater.

If an ordinary person were to be smashed into a deep pit by such an extremely hard chair, they would probably be turned into mincemeat by now.

Let alone ordinary people, even a martial arts master would not be able to withstand it.

"At such a height, he must have died a terrible death."

Someone slowly broke the silence amidst the shock, their voice carrying a hint of tentative surprise.

No one spoke; everyone silently savored the experience. No one could have predicted that the strongest would suffer such a fate.

But I suppose there shouldn't be any surprises.

Although his death was too quick and shocking, at least it deprived everyone of a strong competitor.

Soon, people calmed down and gradually looked away. Some refocused on the cards in front of them, some looked around wondering who would be the next unlucky one, and others looked up at the luck badge...

Sudden!

A scream erupted from the crowd, filled with horror, the voice sounding as if they had seen a ghost!

"He he he he he!!!"

"How come he's in heaven! Wasn't he dead?!"

Someone burst into terrified screams, attracting countless eyes to look up.

Everyone saw that a man in blue was floating next to the five luck badges. It was Su Lin, who had just fallen off the cliff and died!

The strongest one did not die!

He broke free from the constraints of the high chair using methods unknown to anyone, and was even able to fly!

wrong!

If everyone has lost their competitive edge, how can he possibly take off?!

Could this be... the cheating mentioned in the game's rules?

People were shocked and confused, staring intently at Su Lin.

Ignoring the fear and shock of the people below him, Su Lin slowly raised his hand and grasped a badge.
