Prison Island

Chapter 127 Life-threatening Cooperation
Gao Xin chuckled, and his motivation to participate in the game was immediately aroused.

If he wasn't short of money this time, he basically wouldn't want to participate in the redemption game.

Working hard to please others just for a little indulgence.

If he develops well outside, he can get the same thing. Why should he try to please those powerful people?

Unexpectedly, the previous players were treated just like ordinary players.

Now is the time when you are gradually gaining status.

"Solomon, when does the game start?" Gao Xin was in high spirits.

Even reaching the cyan level would be a big help to him.

A safe house that can shelter ten people, plus transportation to the Silver Tower.

He can directly appear in the Silver Pagoda in Yamaguchi Village from the Silver Pagoda in Yoshiwara Village, and conversely, he can also leave the Silver Pagoda in Yamaguchi Village. How amazing!

This means that as long as he successfully breaks into the Silver Tower elevator, he will have escaped.

This is simply a fast escape route, so that you don't have to be chased all the way after you get out of Yamaguchi Village.

Very good, just for this, he has to fight.

"I can't wait any longer. Take me to the playground."

However, Solomon said, "This is your first time participating in the advanced military competition game, so you need to create a military competition character profile first."

"Huh?" Gao Xin was stunned.

Solomon explained to him that this was to systematically create player cards and make various character statistics public for the audience to see.

It must have a radiation type and current physical level.

Additionally, it evaluates strength, reaction, brain area, resistance, recovery, energy, and six-dimensional attributes.

And all his genetic modules must also be on display.

"hiss……"

Gao Xin was suddenly filled with cold water. It turned out that becoming a high-level player was not that easy.

Check the household registration, all the strength data must be comprehensively tested and made public to the audience.

The six-dimensional attributes are easy to deal with, and the genetic modules can also be made public, but what about the radiation type?

Although he can detect R as R if he wants, but if it is submitted as R, what will happen if he is promoted to elephant level in the future?

This time it was obviously filed systematically, which was different from the previous time when he took samples to No. 97 for testing.

Compared with No. 97 and Solomon, it is just an ordinary service-type AI program that only measures the results of samples without caring where the samples come from.

But this time it’s different. A player character card is created specifically for him.

There is no doubt that the type of radiation measured this time has been determined.

If it changes in the future, it will definitely cause a big uproar.

His current strength is not enough to withstand such commotion, and the consequences are unpredictable.

"I really regret not absorbing Luo Yan's blood after he became an SSR."

"The highest type of gene I have absorbed now should be a high number."

"That's fine. It means I won't be exposed until I see the Elephant King."

"As for what to do when we get to the dragon, we'll talk about it later."

Gao Xin immediately submitted the sample and started testing.

In fact, he didn't know what type of radiation advanced mathematics was.

In short, let yourself present a high number of radiation types.

"What was the result?" Gao Xin asked Solomon.

Solomon was truly human, his expression exclaiming, “So you’re an SSR!”

"There's a lot of potential in the future. Maybe I can become a gold player."

Gao Xin was stunned. That girl was actually an SSR?

Wow, I found a treasure.

No wonder his vitality is so strong and he tries so hard to break through the battle, without any worries about entering the elephant level.

It turns out that the True Tiger level is far from her limit. For her, it is indeed just a matter of the finishing touch.

"That's right! I am an SSR..." Gao Xin smiled slightly.

The next step was to test his physical fitness, he had just reached the sub-tiger level and could lift 150 times his body weight.

Then there are the six-dimensional attributes and the genetic modules.

He did not hold back and measured with all his strength. After all, these data were very easy to fluctuate, and there was no point in hiding his weakness from the audience, and he might not be like this soon.

Finally, he will have an official code name that he will face to all the audiences, and this code name will also become his player name in the game.

Some games will directly refer to him by this code name.

Without a doubt, Gao Xin still chose: "Taisui... I will be called Taisui."

At this point, the archives of military conflict figures have been completed.

A white card appeared.

Tai Sui Gao Xin, SSR, Asian Tiger level.

The SSR is gold-rimmed and has very gorgeous lettering in the upper right corner.

Below is his avatar and six-dimensional attribute diagram.

His brain area is relatively prominent, but his energy is recessed, and his other attributes are relatively mediocre.

Because the brain area is at the top and the energy attribute is at the bottom.

So much so that the six-dimensional diagram looks like an upward-pointing rocket.

"Fuck... it's so fancy."

Gao Xin shook his head and urged Solomon to send him to the game quickly.

"Please enter the elevator. I wish you good luck in gaming." Solomon said goodbye with a smile.

Gao Xin stepped into the elevator and after another half an hour, he finally arrived at the gaming venue.

This place is like a gladiatorial arena, but without any shelters, and everything is made of alloy, clean and solid.

Nine players had already arrived, eight to be exact, because one was already dead, with his remains scattered all over the ground!
A tall and fit woman stood there, covered in blood.

She was wearing red alloy armor, like a rose with thorns, and her hands were covered with huge and ferocious spiked gloves, which made her look even more dangerous.

The blood on this woman's body was someone else's blood. It was obvious that she had killed a player before the game even started!
The other eight people stayed away from her, seemingly unwilling to provoke her.

"Hiss...what did I miss?" Gao Xin murmured as he walked over.

Then the woman directly questioned Gao Xin coldly: "I was matched with you an hour ago, and you're just here? Are you a newcomer?"

To advanced players, Gao Xin was indeed a newcomer. He did not expect to be discovered right from the start.

The private room was far away and it took an hour to get there.

As a result, one person died at the beginning, and the murderer seemed unharmed!
Could this woman be the strongest in this game?
Gao Xin smiled immediately: "I am here now, am I not?"

"Beautiful lady, please don't be so hot-tempered. Maybe we can cooperate in the game."

The woman who looked like a bright red rose said coldly: "I will not cooperate with the Japanese."

Gao Xin raised his eyebrows and found that the dead man on the ground was wearing a kimono from the fragments of his clothes.

Huh? Has the Japanese in this game been killed?
The military conflict system matches players with grudges, and there must be hostile forces among the players.

There is no doubt that even if he doesn't meet an old acquaintance in this game, there must be a Yakuza player.

Isn't he dead?
"Beauty, what makes you think I'm Japanese?" Gao Xin asked back.

The woman said coldly: "You'd better not be." Gao Xin smiled faintly, it turned out to be a test.

His enemies are the Japanese, and so is this woman. There should be more than one Japanese in this game.

Among the other eight players, three are Asians, all wearing masks, and there should be Japanese among them as well.

The dead guy dared to participate in the military struggle wearing a kimono, which was such a symbol of identity. It seemed that he was too confident in his own strength.

As a result, no one wanted to play games with him and he was killed directly.

"Ahem... Zero Kill, you've improved again. We're all Han Chinese, so let's form an alliance in the game later?" A man wearing heavy armor and carrying a rocket launcher suggested softly.

Gao Xin recognized his bazooka as an EAT rocket.

When he bought the man-eating crossbow before, the old man introduced it to him. It was commonly known as the "tube" and could kill a heavily armored target with almost one shot.

It has a range of two kilometers and is equipped with automatic tracking. Ordinary Tiger-class missiles will be killed instantly.

The woman known as Zero Kill replied calmly, "Just watch."

Then he said loudly: "Laguerre, are we all here? Announce the rules."

The one who announced the rules this time was not No. 99 or Solomon, but an AI with an unfamiliar female image.

He was very cold, like a strict law enforcer, and spoke in a ruthless voice.

[When the "Life-threatening Cooperation" officially begins, no player may kill anyone or enter the arena without permission. Violators will be killed.]

"Now, all players, please go to the viewing platform on the second floor."

A passage appeared on one side of the arena, and Gao Xin immediately went up to the second floor with everyone else.

This is a very spacious hall with a circular structure and floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, which provides a good view of the venue on the first floor.

In the center is a round table, which can perform various display operations and has a huge bell projection.

In addition, along the curved wall at the edge of the hall, there are ten doors, marked with letters ABCDEFGHIJ, representing the room numbers.

Raguel continued to explain the rules.

[Players can enter any room in the game, and all rooms can initiate communication with each other. When all players enter the room, the tacit Q&A session will start immediately. ]

[In each round, the first player to ring the bell on the round table is the questioner. The remaining players must return to the room within five seconds, otherwise they will be killed.]

[The person who asks the question must complete the question at the round table within one minute, and the question must have multiple answers. Then the players in the room from A to J will answer the question in turn. If there are no players in the room, the AI ​​robot in the room will answer the question within the rules. ]

[The answering method is that the player draws a number from 1 to 10 in the room as his or her own number for this round, and answers the questions according to the size of the number. The answer will be announced in the lobby and all rooms. The answer must be correct and cannot contain any number. ]

[When all rooms have completed the quiz, the quiz setter has five minutes to sort the ten answers in order from 1 to 10. If the sorting is completely correct, the tacit quiz is completed and the game ends.]

Hearing this, many players were stunned.

This is actually a game where everyone cooperates!

It requires ten people... well, there are only nine people now. In short, at least most of the players need to cooperate to complete this tacit quiz.

But this is a game of military conflict and grudges!
The game itself is very simple. You discuss some strategies and give answers according to the numbers drawn in your room. It is quite easy to pass. If you get it completely correct, the game is over.

However, combined with this grudge situation, things would be troublesome.

Want to end the game? Are you kidding me?
The game can hardly be over without resolving the grudges!

Then just kill them, just kill those who have grudges against you, but you can't kill people at will in this game.

There is no doubt that this is just the basics of the game, and there are still battle rules to be discussed.

Raguel continued to tell the story.

[If the player fails to complete the tacit quiz, the result will be announced after ten minutes. ]

[During this period, players can pair up with any player or AI robot on the round table one-on-one, and the paired players cannot be changed. ]

[When the results are announced, the player with the number closest to 10 gets 4 points, the second closest gets 2 points, and the third closest gets 1 point. The player with the smallest number will lose 1 point, and the player with a number over 10 will lose 5 points.]

[The result of matching players is the sum of their numbers. If there are players with the same numbers, they will be ranked together. 】

[For a player with the original number 10, no matter who he is paired with, the result of player 10 is 10. However, if player 10 is not paired, it is considered 1. ]

[You can view your own points publicly at any time in the room, and players in the same room can also see them. 】

Everyone became serious. This was another set of cooperation rules. Although there was a player like No. 10 who was a jerk, most people still had to find teammates. After all, points would be deducted if the number was the smallest.

And points are undoubtedly linked to rewards.

Why is this game forcing them to cooperate at every turn? They came here to fight the enemy, but it's clear that the organizers don't like them to just start fighting.

It doesn’t matter. Except for the Japanese people at the beginning, the rest of the people hid their identities and most of them wore masks.

For a moment, they couldn't tell who was whom's enemy and who came from the hostile force.

In other words, the military fighting game also secretly involves an identity game.

It just so happens that the game content involves answering questions, and they can figure out each other’s identities through cooperation and adjustment.

It is very likely that you may be cooperating, talking and laughing one moment, but the next moment someone says something unkind, and you find that the other person has become your enemy.

It is indeed a life-threatening collaboration...

Raguel continued to explain the rules.

[When the result of the tacit quiz is announced, all players can enter the room again to start the second round of tacit quiz. ]

[The interval between the previous round and the next round of tacit question and answer is arbitrary. 】

[During the intermission, each player can challenge anyone to a duel. The challenged player cannot refuse. Both parties must enter the arena within three minutes, otherwise they will be killed.]

[The duel ends in two ways: one is when one player is killed and the other wins. The killing player gets all of his points. The second is when the duel lasts for more than 30 minutes and the result is a draw. Regardless of the result, the duel players must leave the arena within one minute, otherwise they will be killed.]

[When a player initiates a duel, all players have three minutes to gamble at the round table. They can bet their points on the outcome of the duel. Those who win will share the entire prize pool. If no one wins, the prize pool will be carried forward to the next duel.]

[The points bet by the gambler must be equal. If the player cannot make up the bet, it will be considered as quitting the game, and the points bet will enter the prize pool. ]

Many people laughed and said, here are the rules of the duel.

Whoever has higher points will directly duel and kill the opponent, and get all of the opponent's points.

Apart from this, others can also participate in the gambling and take a chance through betting.

Strength and strategy are equally important, alliances and betrayals are intertwined. This game is not complicated, but difficult, because there are too many directions and no one can control the whole game.

Laguier finally said: [The tacit quiz can be played for a maximum of five rounds. If the questioner in the fifth round fails to sort correctly, all players will be killed.]

[After the game is over, players with negative points will be killed. For players with points, each point will be converted into 10,000 indulgences.]

[Now, the game officially begins. ]

Gao Xin observed everyone and found that no one looked too shocked or nervous, and many people were even laughing.

There is no doubt that there are no rookies in this game. The worst player may die before the rules are announced...

Everyone understood the rules instantly. Even if someone didn't fully understand them at the moment, they would probably figure them out quickly through the game.

Therefore, it is probably difficult to create an advantage by relying on knowledge of the rules.

In terms of strength, everyone should be about the same, and it is impossible to tell who is better on the surface. Those who are confident that they can kill others may end up being eaten by others.

If we don’t actually fight, who will know who is stronger?

This is a competition of hard power, strategy and even diplomacy. Add to that the enemy relationship, and Gao Xin is even more confused.

He knew no one, let alone the grudges between their forces. People's minds were unpredictable, and everyone might have different basic goals and motives.

In this game, if people's hearts change a little, the situation will get out of control, and those who try to control the whole situation will die miserably.

Being low-key may actually bring you higher returns.

In that case, Gao Xin suddenly smiled mysteriously: Let me add a rule for everyone.

……
