Chapter 138
This was the first game on the cruise ship. Although the number of participating teams was limited, it was still a good opportunity for the players to test each other. Theoretically, Xu Shaohuai should sit in front of the screen and observe the overall level of the participating teams, whether there are any that need special attention, or any other situations. It is true that exploring through the screen is not as accurate as trying it out in person, but it is much better than being in a maze where you may not even be able to find the item.
Or he actually has another choice, which is to simply not participate.
But the fact is, he had to participate. Because in this temporarily formed team, except Jing Ling, no one else can make him feel at ease. Moreover, the final half-hour reward for victory is more than just entering the hunting ground early. Teams participating in the hunting game must wait for half a month from the time they land on the island, including the time they enter in advance. That is to say, if a team enters the hunting ground five hours in advance, they can also leave five hours in advance.
Compared with half a month, a few hours may seem like nothing. If the teammates who came this time were the ones with whom he had worked well together before, Xu Shaohuai wouldn't have needed to spend half an hour. Unfortunately, his teammates were either injured or killed in the last game. He had originally applied to not participate in this mission and it had been approved. Unexpectedly, the person in charge of collecting intelligence got the information about the reward items of this game. Both people and things are of great significance to the country. He was worried about letting other people come, so he was forced to do it. Finally, they had a sudden idea to put together such a team for him.
Yes, it was just a sudden idea in his opinion. Yang Xinyao, Bai Ningxi, and Song Xiuyuan, it seems that everyone has their strengths, but for this place, they are relatively useless. Not only them, but Jing Ling was also not very qualified because he could not obey orders absolutely. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about his safety.
For these reasons, he had to seize every opportunity, because in this cruel game, many times a minute or a second could lead to accidents and casualties.
"Jing Ling and I encountered a total of four teams in the maze, and we only fought against one of them. I believe you have seen it, and that was the one who brought the quest item at the end. Those two people cooperated very well. That level of tacit understanding requires at least a few years to develop, but they were not members of any team I encountered in the hunting ground. Maybe they are new, or they are substitutes for a certain team. No matter what it is, this team must not be weak. After all, there are too few cases like us."
"We are in the maze and cannot see the other teams' situations, but you should have seen it, especially the dead team. No matter how many times I have emphasized how dangerous this operation is, words can never compare to seeing it with your own eyes. Now, Xingguang, Dahe, Xiaodao, what do you three think?"
The star is Angelababy. Until this moment, her face was still a little pale. Facing Xu Shaohuai's inquiring gaze, she didn't dare to look him in the face and said vaguely, "I will try my best to adapt." The implication was that she had not yet been able to adapt.
The big river is Baining Creek. Compared to Yang Xinyao, at least his expression didn’t show anything. He nodded and replied, “I’m fine.”
The knife is Song Xiuyuan. Among the three people, he had the best mentality and he never let go of the knife during the whole process. In response to Xu Shaohuai's question, he just nodded and said "hmm".
The entire team can actually be divided into three echelons, and Jing Ling and Xu Shaohuai are undoubtedly the main combat forces. Song Xiuyuan is the type of person who has good fighting ability but almost no practical experience. The older generation of the Song family had actually been to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but by this generation, it was already a peaceful era. Even Song Xiuyuan's father's generation had few opportunities to fight for real. The last layer of the team is Yang Xinyao and Bai Ningxi, who can be completely classified as logistics.
After listening to the answers of the three people, Xu Shaohuai turned his head and looked at Jing Ling next to him, "As for you, I won't say anything. The only requirement is that you obey orders at critical moments."
Jing Ling nodded, "I'll try my best."
This answer was also within Xu Shaohuai's expectations. He stopped dwelling on this question and continued, "The maze is just the beginning. There will be other games next, three rounds in total. It is actually a kind of selection before entering the hunting ground. It is like raising Gu, but it is different. The worst ones are kicked out first, and the remaining teams are teams with certain strength. These people are thrown into the hunting ground and let them fight each other. In the end, only three teams can become winners."
In the end, there were eight teams participating in the competition, with five people in each team, forty people in total, but only thirty-five people were able to leave the hunting ground. If you want all members of your team to survive, you have to kill everyone else. This is destined to be a life-and-death situation with no solution. And this is just the rule of the game. In the previous times that Xu Shaohuai participated, the number of deaths was more than five each time. Because not everyone is here for the money, some are simply obsessed with the thrill of killing. The two teams that have participated in the game from the beginning have a high frequency of team member changes, and more people have died at their hands.
Xu Shaohuai's teammates were defeated by them.
This is a heavy topic, and after finishing speaking, Xu Shaohuai changed the subject.
"We won the game this time. In addition to the half-hour time reward, there is also a monetary reward of 6 million universal coins. Only Jing Ling and I contributed during the process, so in the end the money will only be divided between the two of us. I don't need it, so I'll give him all 6 million. Is that okay?"
Although he asked this question, he knew the answer very well because none of the three people being asked were short of money. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the remaining three people shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.
Six million universal coins, calculated based on the exchange rate, can be worth more than 30 million in the country. It has only been an hour since the game started, but he has been able to get so much money. Even if the previous prize was half less than this, it would still be 15 million. At the same time, the difficulty of the game is relatively low. In so many previous games, many people won by luck.
How to make people not be moved?
And this is just the beginning.
In addition to the 30 million, Jing Ling also had an extra income. He called the waiter before the game started, bet on his team to win, and staked one million with odds of one to seven. He got seven million, and after deducting the capital, he had six million left.
In other words, from the beginning of the game to now, he has earned more than 30 million! Net profit, tax-free! The cost is almost negligible.
Theoretically, this kind of money-making speed can also be achieved in a casino, but the excitement there is far less than here!
The game rewards were not settled instantly. Jing Ling and the others stayed in the room for almost half an hour before a waiter knocked on the door, holding a clear crystal tray in his hands. In the middle of the tray were two black cards with the Morton Bank logo faintly visible on them.
"Sir, here are your game winnings and bet proceeds!"
Jing Ling accepted the two cards and gave the waiter a small tip. The waiter then left, closing the door gently behind him. There is no need to check how much money is in the card. The organizer will not lose a penny because the thing they have the most is money.
"Thank you, Captain!" Jing Ling said with a smile while holding the card, "Now I have enough money to buy a house. I feel like the burden on my shoulders has been lightened a lot." The houses here are not from some small 18th-tier cities, but the capital of the Republic, with the best location. If you don’t want to buy it, forget it. But if you do buy it, it must be the best. If those real courtyard houses were not for sale, he would want to buy one to live in. Money is not a problem, he can always scrape together the money.
Hearing this, Xu Shaohuai smiled and joked, "There are two more games to come. If you win both, you can buy a villa."
This topic was relatively lighthearted, and Yang Xinyao also joined in, "When you buy it, I will definitely give you a big gift when you move into your new home!"
Song Xiuyuan and Bai Ningxi also laughed.
After resting for a while and eating, Xu Shaohuai began to explain the relevant matters of the next game.
Unlike maze treasure hunt, the game time is only about an hour, which is very short. The second game cycle is two days and two nights, starting from midnight tonight and ending at midnight the night after tomorrow, a total of forty-eight hours. The game will open up the entire fourth floor area as a map. Teams will be formed into small groups with five people on the field, and all teams are required to participate in the competition. The first place will be decided in the end. The rewards are not only money, but also very useful items in the hunting grounds, and 30 million universal coins for the right to carry a hot weapon.
Xu Shaohuai had said before that the items allowed in the hunting ground were very limited, and hot weapons, that is, guns, were prohibited. The main purpose is to increase the excitement of the game, because in addition to the participating teams, there are also various terrible beasts on the island that are difficult to guard against. Every time someone dies in the game, in addition to being killed by humans, there are also those who die in the mouths of wild beasts, and the number is not small.
"But this is the old rule. The previous mazes have all been changed, and this one will probably be changed as well. The maze treasure hunt has added bonuses and hunting ground privileges, and this one should be changed as well, but I don't know what the final data will be. Compared to that privilege, I am more worried about whether the right to carry hot weapons will be increased. A team with one gun already has a great advantage in the hunting ground. If they add another one, or if more teams have it, the final game will only be more dangerous..."
