Soon, the middle-aged man was taken away by the waiter and the octagonal cage was cleaned.
The man in black left again to arrange the third match. There was silence all around, with only the occasional slight gasp.
Su Han suddenly realized that the situation of all players had become delicate.
Although the lucky surviving contestants have not yet fallen to the level of fighting beasts, they may fall to the bottom in the future. Needless to say, they are very worried at the moment.
The players who are already on the underground level obviously do not regard the players on the ground as teammates. Instead, they are full of hostility and resentment.
The casino staff are polite and friendly to the contestants, but rude and barbaric to the losers, like devils.
Unconsciously, the players in the server were divided into two groups. One group was the successful people who were glamorous, well-fed, well-dressed, and could spend their days leisurely. The other group was the losers who were ragged, in dangerous situations, and could die at any time.
The two factions may exchange their identities at any time. Once they lose all their money and their halo fades, successful people will become losers. If a kind-hearted person rescues them, helps them pay off their debts and pays a ransom of 5 million, the beast fighting contestants will be able to see the light of day again.
Su Han even wondered, if there were too many beast fighting contestants and their proportion was too high, would a slave uprising break out?
…
There were so many possibilities that her head hurt.
After a while, the man in black came back and announced, "The third game begins."
On the right side, there was another gray wolf, and on the left side stood a middle-aged woman in her forties.
"Throw two more gray wolves, and inject a muscle relaxant into that woman's body." A fat man with a beer belly gritted his teeth and said, "This thief is so dirty, she almost stole all the chips in my pocket!"
Thinking of the miserable situation of the middle-aged contestant just now, the fat man shuddered, and he disliked the thief who almost took away all his belongings even more.
The waiter brought a tray to collect the chips, and the fat man put down thirty of them without hesitation.
The man in black snapped his fingers. Immediately, a muscle relaxant was injected into the middle-aged woman's right leg. After a while, two more gray wolves appeared on the right side of the octagonal cage.
After looking around and making sure that no one wanted to continue purchasing the product, the man in black waved his hand. The next second, the cages on both sides opened.
The middle-aged woman's right leg was obviously not flexible, and she couldn't even walk quickly.
The three gray wolves were extremely ferocious. One bit my right leg, one bit my neck, and one bit my right hand.
The middle-aged woman desperately waved the rusty dagger, but she could only take care of one side and not the other. Soon, the middle-aged woman turned into white light.
The man in black turned around and smiled, "Today's entertainment ends here. Please follow me." He turned around and walked in front to lead the way.
The others followed in a daze. Because of the huge shock, many people were speechless for a while.
**
After returning to the first floor, the headcount was counted and confirmed, and the man in black left. The others dispersed on the spot and were free to move around.
Almost instantly, Wei Dong was surrounded by people.
"What's going on down there? Tell me more."
"You fight every day. What do you fight? Wild beasts? What species are they specifically?"
"With only one meal a day and no daily necessities, why don't players unite and resist?"
"If the casino refuses to provide daily necessities, won't those people be dead?"
Wei Dong was about to answer, but Jiang Cheng said first, "Sorry, he just came out of the arena and is very tired. If you have any questions, please ask tomorrow. We'll leave first." After that, he dragged his companion away.
Many people were secretly complaining, "He must want to take me back to the room for a lecture, to make it clear what can and cannot be said. This guy is too strict with me!"
At the same time, Zhong Rui walked up to Su Han and whispered, "Let's talk?"
"Yeah." Su Han responded, and the two went back to the room together.
After entering the room and closing the door, no one spoke for a long time. The two of them were lost in their own thoughts, and seemed to have no idea where to start.
After a long while, Zhong Rui spoke first, "I miscalculated. If I had known the rules of the game earlier, I would have chosen to unite all the players and kill the casino staff."
"Unfortunately, we have only just figured out what is going on in this instance, but it is too late. The surviving contestants and the beast fighting players are divided into two camps, and there is no way they can join forces."
"Next, it is important to choose a camp."
Su Han poured cold water on him with a wooden face, "But in my opinion, no matter which camp you choose, there will be no good ending."
"Some of the chips in the hands of the surviving contestants were won from the casino, and some were won from the players! The hatred is very stable, and there is almost no possibility of reconciliation."
"On the other hand, there was a big commotion on the inventory day. Some people only needed hundreds of thousands to avoid elimination, but they just couldn't borrow the money. Some players were targeted by several people because they had a lot of money, and were chased like dogs. New and old hatreds came to their minds at the same time, and both sides disliked each other."
"That's why I said it's impossible to join forces." Zhong Rui said calmly, "You can only choose one of the two camps to stay."
Su Han had a blank expression on his face. He said slowly, "As a contestant, you may have to face the uprising of many players. As a beast fighting contestant, you don't have enough food every day and are busy fighting with beasts. Occasionally, you have to participate in beast fighting competitions and be toyed with by contestants. What's worse is that beast fighting contestants have two groups of enemies - contestants and casino NPCs."
Zhong Rui sighed softly, "Sometimes I really want to win all the chips of the surviving contestants, force them to stand on the same side, and leave them with no way to retreat."
Su Han, "..."
Don't think about making trouble all the time! Although the two paths in front of you are both difficult, at least you have a choice. If you really want to start an uprising, you can only bite the bullet and go all the way to the end!
Besides, who knows if the rebels will fight among themselves? Who knows how much effort those guys will put in?
Compared to the players, the casino NPCs are much more principled. They resolutely give VIP treatment to the surviving contestants! But they are too principled towards the beast fighting contestants, and resolutely do not treat them as humans...
The air in the room suddenly became quiet and no one spoke for a long time.
After a while, Zhong Rui asked, "What about you? What do you think?"
Su Han answered decisively, "Maintain the status quo and continue to increase the total amount of bets. Whether the players on the negative first floor live or die depends on their luck."
Although her attitude and position seemed clear, she had actually hesitated.
Emotionally speaking, she felt that the beast fighting contestants were living a miserable life, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
But rationally speaking, she felt that NPCs were more reliable than the beast fighting contestants who were full of negative emotions. Staying with them would better ensure her life safety.
After repeated consideration, Su Han felt that there was no need to make it difficult for himself to pass the level in order to save other players - it was just a game, and everyone had to survive on their own ability.
Besides...
Su Han thought, all 500 players started from the same point, no one was thrown to the negative first floor at the beginning. It was because those people played the game badly that they ended up in this situation.
With this thought in mind, she strengthened her stance—to continue to be a contestant and stand on the same front as the NPCs.
"Sure enough..." Zhong Rui muttered softly.
Su Han was quite surprised, "Do you have any other ideas?"
Without waiting for her friend to reply, she emphasized, "The possibility of the beast fighting players revolting is only theoretically possible. It is hard to say whether they can organize themselves. Choosing the beast fighting camp is very risky."
Zhong Rui's face straightened and he said seriously, "I have observed that there are waiters, security guards, dealers, and other staff in the NPC. Although the total number of people is nearly 500, there are only about 200 combat personnel, that is, the number of security guards."
"Currently, the forces of both sides have reached a delicate balance. If the number of contestants is further reduced and the strength of the fighting beast camp is further enhanced, a successful rebellion is not impossible."
"So," Zhong Rui raised his head, a gleam in his eyes, "I plan to make two preparations."
Su Han said expressionlessly, "Don't tell me you want to sneak into the negative first floor."
Zhong Rui nodded, "That's right."
Su Han held his forehead with his hand. Isn't it good to be alive? No, good!
Unexpectedly, Zhong Rui continued, "Before entering the negative first floor, I will give you five million chips. If the eliminated players are just not good at gambling, have high military power and strong cohesion, then I will resist with them. If they are just a group of scattered sands with average military power, then you will rescue me."
Su Han paused and looked at his friend with a surprised expression. Did he hear it wrong? Ask her to rescue the person?
Zhong Rui didn't care much, "We've played several rounds of games together, so we still have some trust in each other."
At this moment, Su Han's heart was inexplicably surging, but she suppressed it. In order to hide her discomfort, she said stubbornly, "This has nothing to do with trust. Isn't there an imperial green jadeite in the portable warehouse? Even if I don't come forward to rescue, it doesn't matter."
Zhong Rui was slightly startled, and replied subconsciously, "Even if I have it, I can't use it. Didn't Wei Dong say that you can only choose three items from the portable warehouse when entering the underground floor?" If he took the imperial green jadeite with him, how could the people in the casino let him go to the underground floor? He redeemed himself directly and returned to the upper floor.
Su Han, "..."
In order to hide her discomfort, she made a few random remarks, but the atmosphere became even more awkward.
But after a brief pause, Zhong Rui said, "Just in case, I plan to enter the negative first floor on the 10th day." In this way, even if an emergency occurs, he will not lose the qualification to play the game, and at most he will not be able to complete the game.
Su Han heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her friends would have full confidence in her and leave no room for retreat.
Accustomed to playing single-player games, she hated carrying a burden on her shoulders, whether it was trust, hope, or anything else.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Rui kept sighing, "You are in the contestant camp, and I am in the beast fighting camp. There are people watching on both sides. This is very good."
"If there's only one person, no matter which side you're in, it's bound to feel tricky. With two people, it feels much better."
"Since you are my teammate, I feel quite relieved to give you the five million for safekeeping."
Being trusted...Su Han suddenly felt a huge pressure.
The author has something to say: Su Han (mumbling): I treated you as an (ordinary) teammate, but you...
Zhong Rui (answer): When lovers
