Those who voluntarily withdrew from the game beforehand are now staying at the banquet watching the show.
Those who died unexpectedly due to survival issues were also taken to receive mental health treatment.
Then there are the three small groups: Chang Xiling, Yuan Wan, and Yu Xingze.
Aside from the four members of Wang Congcong's group who were not eliminated due to their own abilities but had their throats slit, they remained at the scene.
The others who had been operated on were all sent for treatment in great pain.
It will take at least two or three months before you can get out of bed, and your mental state and nervous system will not recover.
As for Li Xiao, the only one who was saved by his family.
After Li Hongming knocked him unconscious and carried him away, he forced Li Xiao to quit the game.
Once outside the game, before Li Xiao could even finish his rant, Li Hongming, receiving a look from the Li family patriarch, knocked the man unconscious again and arranged for him to be sent back to the Li family.
So Yu Shiwei looked around but couldn't see Chang Xiling and the others.
She couldn't even find someone to ask about the situation.
Chang Feng and Yuan Xinglu, not seeing their sister and noticing their family members' grim expressions, immediately went to where their family members were and inquired about the situation.
Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun sat at an empty table. Ji Chaoyun brought over some of Jin Shangyue's favorite foods.
The two were leisurely eating and chatting, waiting for the others to make their second move.
Jin Shangyue ate while observing Ji Chaoyun.
She discovered that all the food he brought was according to her tastes and preferences.
However, Ji Chaoyun herself clearly enjoyed the food, eating with relish and in a pleasant mood.
Jin Shangyue casually remarked, "Your tastes are very similar to mine."
Ji Chaoyun knew that Jin Shangyue had figured something out, so she didn't hide it and confessed on her own initiative.
“It was different before. I vaguely remember that I didn’t eat spicy food in the very early days and preferred sweets.”
Knowing that everyone around them was watching them, and that they were all martial arts experts, they could naturally hear what the people were saying.
Therefore, Ji Chaoyun did not use the words "first generation" but instead used "earliest" to summarize.
"Later, I spent a lot of time with you, sister, and saw you eating so deliciously every day. Gradually, I got used to the foods you liked and tried my best to find them to try one by one."
"Later, when I was able to eat, I unconsciously gravitated towards the flavors my sister liked and gradually fell in love with them."
In fact, Jinshangyue had already noticed some details while in the game's dungeons.
That is, Ji Chaoyun has many habits that are the same as hers.
Even Ji Chaoyun's demeanor, actions, words, expressions, and aura at certain times were very similar to hers.
For a moment, looking at Ji Chaoyun, Jin Shangyue always had the illusion of seeing another version of herself.
However, when facing himself, Ji Chaoyun still maintained the most original, earliest, purest, most sincere, sunny and warm young man.
Having read about Ji Chaoyun's first life and her own past, Jin Shangyue guessed it.
The way Ji Chaoyun acted in front of her was the way Ji Chaoyun was before she died in her first life.
That original Ji Chaoyun, untouched by a series of accidents, bloodshed, darkness, and the passage of time.
But in front of others, she is Ji Chaoyun, who has experienced death, been a ghost, traversed countless planes, and finally became a god.
When the Yu family saw Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun having a meal together, the atmosphere between the two was so harmonious that no one else could get in, so they didn't go over to disturb them.
Since their own child didn't suffer any losses in the dungeon, they weren't in a hurry.
However, families who had suffered losses due to having children in the game's dungeons began to get restless.
Everyone in the circle knows how much the Yuan family dotes on Yuan Yuan.
Therefore, given how badly Yuan Wan was treated, Old Master Yuan will definitely not let it go easily at today's banquet.
The Lu and Lan families, among others, were also unwilling to give up and wanted to seize the opportunity to get back at the top.
Otherwise, if they want to regain their composure in public after this banquet, they will have to wait for the next large banquet.
During this time, they must have been so depressed and frustrated!
So after Jinshangyue and Jichaoyun finished eating, the Yuan family couldn't wait any longer and continued the game that Yuan Yuan had suggested earlier.
Yuan Xinglu looked at Jin Shangyue and said, "Miss Jin, my sister Yuan Wan is injured and cannot continue the game we agreed on. Now, I, as her older brother, will take her place and continue playing with you. Miss Jin, do you not mind?"
The younger generations of the Lu, Lan, Qi, and Chang families also gathered together to echo this sentiment.
"We feel the same way. Seeing how much fun you all had before, Miss Jin, we wanted to join in too."
"Right, right, didn't we all agree to play two games? One is a multiplayer dungeon game, and the other is a real-life one-on-one PvP game."
“Betting games are more interesting. I’m really curious about Miss Jin. Just how much skill are you hiding?”
...
The younger generation from several families gathered together, chatting amongst themselves, clearly having reached some kind of consensus in private and temporarily formed an alliance.
They started targeting Jinshangyue, wanting to avenge their own people in the game instance.
Other peers who were observing from the sidelines chose to continue watching and did not easily get involved.
I'm afraid I might accidentally get myself into trouble.
Wang Congcong and the other three remained silent for the time being, instead looking at Jin Shangyue, preparing to act according to her reaction.
Jinshangyue had been waiting for this moment, so naturally she wouldn't refuse.
"Since we've already agreed on this, we should naturally continue. How would you all like to play?"
Yuan Xinglu spoke with a faint, polite smile on his face, but his eyes were actually icy cold.
"In our circle, when we play one-on-one PK games, we usually select a few projects that everyone agrees on, and then each person decides freely whether to participate or not, and who to PK against."
"As for the stakes, they are all decided by the parties who want to compete."
"Any bet is acceptable, as long as both parties agree, the bet is legal and must ultimately be executed."
“Even if the stakes are human lives, it must be done, otherwise you can be sent to the Imperial Supreme Court for sentencing.”
Jin Shangyue nodded: "That sounds interesting. Since we're guests, let me host this game."
Since it was just hosting, not judging or setting project rules, no one objected and everyone agreed.
They initially thought Jin Shangyue was going to play some tricks, but after they all agreed, Jin Shangyue asked directly and decisively.
"Anyone who wants to challenge me, step forward."
"I'm only interested in the stakes. If I'm satisfied with the stakes offered by the challenger, I'll agree to a PK. If I'm not satisfied, then we'll go with the stakes I proposed."
