Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

calm.

With ten minutes left before the poison takes effect, we must gather as much intelligence as possible and not let this life be wasted.

Having already honed his mindset in the simulated world, Hayes quickly accepted the fact that he was about to die and began to observe everything around him.

His first concern was the drink in front of him. He was certain he hadn't drunk any of it, yet he was still poisoned... So, the problem must be with the glass?

While Kaka was chatting with the centurion, Hayes brought the glass to his lips and secretly examined it. Sure enough, he could smell a faint sour smell in the strong alcohol aroma along the rim of the glass.

A voice suddenly flashed through my mind, confirming Hayes's discovery.

[You have discovered the source of the poison and have been awarded a card reward, which can be viewed after the simulation ends.]

Well, the poison wasn't in the wine, it was in the glass! Who would have thought?

Hayes silently put down his glass and glanced at Kaka, who was chatting happily beside him.

The other person must have been poisoned too, but they just didn't know it.

But why would this goblin centurion poison them? Aren't they all on the same side?

Hayes was puzzled, but he couldn't think of a way to extract information from him, since he wasn't a real goblin, just an outsider.

With almost three minutes left, Hayes, after much deliberation, finally had no choice but to resort to the cumbersome method.

"Centurion."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

The centurion, who was interrupted, was a little annoyed, but he still forced a smile and looked at Hayes.

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Hayes pointed earnestly to his and Kaka's wine glasses and asked, "Aren't we a squad here to support the front lines?"

"But why did you poison us?"

At that moment, even the air seemed to fall silent.

Kaka's drunken face immediately hardened with alertness. He glared at Hayes and said sternly, "Lieutenant, talking nonsense comes at a price!"

Before Hayes could respond, the centurion burst into laughter.

"It's alright, bro. You've probably had too much to drink, haven't you? I'll go get a goblin to sober you up..."

The short, stocky centurion turned to leave the camp, but was blocked by Kaka, who had arrived first!

His tall, broad frame completely blocked the light filtering through the curtain. He stared at Hayes and said in a deep voice.

"Lieutenant, are you sure the drink was poisoned?"

Hayes was a little surprised that Kaka actually stood on his side without hesitation; all the goodwill he had earned hadn't been for nothing!

The centurion continued to argue, "I didn't! There was no poison in the wine. I'll drink it and show you!"

Hayes walked over with a wine glass in his hand and said...

"There's no poison in the drink; the poison is in the glass."

He poured the liquor on the ground and pointed the glass directly at the centurion: "Dare you lick it, Centurion?"

"...Ha, what is there to be afraid of?"

The centurion sneered, snatched the glass from Hayes' hand, and then smashed it against the neck of the man behind him.

"Go to hell, you little bastard!" he shouted hoarsely, his movements so fast that even Hayes was startled.

But what surprised him even more was that Kaka actually let the centurion slide the wine glass across his neck without flinching, leaving only a shallow mark on his rough green skin.

His hand grabbed the centurion's neck and snapped it instantly, giving the man no chance to even cry out.

Only then did Hayes see the information on the two people's panels.

【Name: Goblin - Keke】

[Level: Tier 4]

【Name: Goblin - Kaka】

【grade:???】

Hayes: !!

No wonder he couldn't see the centurion's movements clearly earlier; the opponent was actually a fourth-tier fighter.

But what shocked Hayes even more was Kaka's strength, which was terrifying!

Not only did he instantly kill the centurion, but even the "identification" function updated in simulator 2.0 could not detect his level.

At this moment, Hayes was incredibly grateful that such a simple-minded but extremely strong big guy was his teammate!

You have killed a Tier 4 goblin, gaining 170 experience points.

A voice flashed through his mind, and Hayes was shocked to find an invisible force surging from the centurion's corpse and then drifting into his body.

Strength... has increased a little!

Hayes clenched his fist, his expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

Surprisingly, the experience points gained from killing the centurion were added to his account!

What pleased him most was that, besides the centurion, there were hundreds of goblins in the entire camp, waiting for him (haha) to harvest them!

In that instant, Hayes even forgot about gathering intelligence; he urged Kaka eagerly.

"Sir, let's go out and kill those goblins who poisoned us!"

Upon hearing this, the irritable Kaka immediately picked up a wooden stick and roared as he prepared to go out and kill goblins.

Before he could even step out of the tent, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted from his mouth.

"puff!"

He knelt down on one knee, his body trembling with intense pain.

Immediately afterwards, Hayes also spat out a mouthful of blood, and a countdown timer appeared in front of him.

[Death will occur in 4:59 seconds due to poisoning]

"It's the venom of the Violet Serpent, Lieutenant, we're not going to survive..."

He crunched on the blood and struggled to his feet, turning back to look at Hayes with a relieved expression on his face.

"They just can't accept me, a person of a different bloodline..."

Just as Kaka was about to enter the "carousel" phase, Hayes wasn't interested in his story. He was more concerned about whether he could save this "simulation" opportunity!

And so, to Kaka's astonishment, Hayes conjured up a goblin wearing a headband out of thin air!

To Kaka, this scene was similar to a "disappearing act," as goblins don't understand anything about card magic.

But Hayes didn't have time to pay attention to him. He casually wiped away the blood foam and shouted at Wu Wukai.

"Young Master, quickly use your almighty Copy Ninja Technique to think of a solution!"

Wu Wukai was completely stunned. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he thought, "Weren't we in the hospital just a few hours ago? How did we end up in a wilderness survival situation in the blink of an eye?!"

Fortunately, he quickly realized that Hayes was in imminent danger, so he immediately activated his ninjutsu, conjuring a pen and a piece of paper and handing them to Hayes.

Hayes was dumbfounded: "Why are you giving me this thing?"

"Write a will, aren't you going to die anyway...?"

"I'll write about you!"

Another mouthful of blood smeared his mouth, and Hayes realized what the problem was. He hurriedly shouted to Kaka, not even bothering to call out to his superior.

"Big guy, you just said this is snake venom, so what's the antidote?"

Kaka was staring blankly at Wuwu Development when he heard this and immediately realized what was going on.

"The antidote is the fangs of the Violet Serpent!"

Hayes' eyes lit up; it was good to have an antidote. Meanwhile, Xiao Kai was also in the zone, channeling his magic to unleash a ninjutsu, about to conjure the fangs of the Violet Serpent for the two of them.

After a while, he cautiously looked at Hayes and asked, "Lord Hayes, what is a Violet Serpent?"

Hayes:...

Hayes' vision began to blur, and in his last senses, he heard Wu Wukai's panicked shouts and approaching footsteps outside the tent.

In the last moment before darkness engulfed his consciousness, a voice rang in his mind.

[You perished along with Kaka, and received a card as a reward...]
