Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320
Everyone’s injuries had healed, but the heavy, lingering scent of blood remained, disgusting, yet it did not dampen their spirits. Having cheated death was certainly something to celebrate. However, the joy soon gave way to a sense of loss, and not even the black cube floating in midair drew any more attention than a cursory glance.
"Uncle, I’ve missed you so much!" Lu Fan’s protective clothing was torn, exposing her newly healed calves and arms. She pounced on Tang Zheng, clinging to him like a koala, scrambled up, and gave him a smack on the lips.
Tang Zheng had thought it was just a brief greeting, but to his surprise, Lu Fan crossed a line, licking his lips before sliding her tongue inside.
"What are you doing?" Tang Zheng quickly grabbed Lu Fan by the collar, pulling her off him.
Lu Fan stuck out her tongue, making a face, then hugged her head in defense, "I won’t dare to do it again next time!"
"Haha, Teng Little Three, that bitch, is finally dead, what a relief!" Pang Meiqin cast a glance to confirm Teng Yuangxiang wouldn’t be coming back, visibly delighted. Tang Zheng would certainly not be resurrecting that sort of person, so she felt at ease, "Hm? Jing Xiang is gone too? How pitiable!"
"Tang Zheng, back in Fairy Tale Town, I had no choice!" The female host approached Tang Zheng and for the first time lowered her proud head, apologizing in front of everyone.
Gu Xueqi was beside her, but deep down, she didn’t feel much remorse. She was merely curious about how Tang Zheng could turn the tables under such malicious circumstances and admired his ability.
"It’s alright, that was my command!" Tang Zheng waved his hand, not wishing to dredge up the topic. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelfire.net
Gu Xueqi sighed. Yes, it was his command, but Dong Zixuan, Tao Ran, and even Ai Yixin had not escaped, making the fate of their relatives quite obvious. If their group leader didn’t weigh his decisions, he would be foolish.
Not seeing the figures of Song Xin, Zhao Dongtao, or Jing Lan, Tang Zheng’s eyes immediately reddened. He took a few steps back, hit the pale white wall, then slumped down, burying his head in his hands.
Watching Tang Zheng’s slight shoulder tremors, everyone exchanged glances, knowing he was crying, but no one mocked his vulnerability. Instead, they felt reassured by having a group leader with a sense of empathy.
"Hey, can you guys give me some respect and focus on the scoring?" The Silver Trojan was almost irate, seeing everyone ignoring it.
The Conqueror glanced over at it before shifting their gaze away, then approached Tang Zheng, comforting him.
"Well, quite a few died this round, but there’s still a dozen left, which obviously didn’t meet my expectations!" As everyone’s focus shifted to the screen, the malicious Trojan didn’t seem in a rush anymore, apparently enjoying poking fun at the ’toys’, "Tsk, Teng Little Three actually died, she was someone I had high hopes for, what a shame."
"How many do you plan on making me kill?" Ruan Feifei asked, her expression scornful.
"Of course, leaving ten," the Trojan replied without hiding its intentions, "This round was actually quite difficult, and the final battle confirmed as much. If it had dragged on a little longer, more would have died."
"Just because of those trash clones?" Pang Meiqin’s bravado increased with her strength, and with the exception of Tang Zheng, she didn’t take anyone seriously.
"Hmph, if not for the Tang Zheng clone always doing things beyond my calculations, all of you would certainly have died. But I believe after one round, he’ll have improved," the Trojan was quite fond of that fellow.
"What do you mean? He’s not dead?" Tang Zheng frowned, wondering if he had missed something.
"Of course he’s dead." The Trojan enjoyed Tang Zheng’s misfortune, glanced at Lu Fan, then shifted the topic, "Now, let’s get to the scoring."
The group was frustrated but helpless.
"Lin Fachan, are you the reincarnation of Romeo? Your treatment of your girlfriend is beyond reproach. You’re the ideal boyfriend material, bold and courageous. Just a pity that caring too much for your girlfriend affected your performance. You score 2,100 points, receiving a Silver Seed as a reward, C-level evaluation!"
"Seems like I need to start earning more points!" Lin Fachan felt he was familiar enough with the game and shouldn’t continue wasting time.
"Lin Jing, a spoilt little princess with poor independence. Without your boyfriend, your death rate rises by at least fifty percent. You have average potential. You score 1,300 points, receiving a Bronze Seed as a reward, C-level evaluation."
Lin Jing held her boyfriend’s hand, unconcerned about the rating. Being alive was all that mattered.
"Just a reminder, your chances of dying in the next round are quite high!" The Trojan rarely disclosed information, but when it did, it usually came true, which caused Lin Jing’s complexion to darken.
"Don’t worry, I’m here!" Lin Fachan held his girlfriend tight, his strong shoulders providing a sense of security.
"Tao Ran, strong, brave, and grateful, but just too silent. If you keep this up, you’ll never find happiness. Also, I suspect you’re a masochist for not treating your eyes. Tang Zheng, you could try experimenting with her in bed. You score 2,800 points, receiving a Silver Seed as a reward, B-class evaluation."
Black Long Straight’s expression turned slightly sour. After many years of living with blindness, she had forgotten that it could be fixed.
"Dong Zixuan, bursting with a sense of justice and naivety—my favorite type. I love to watch your worldview crumble, and here’s to hoping your torment lasts even longer. You score 3,100 points, receiving a Silver Seed as a reward, B-class evaluation."
The policewoman was uncomfortable; continuing , she might become corrupted.
"Sha Ou, you’re too careless. Haven’t you realized your wife wants to kill you? A word of advice: strike first and kill her. You score 3,100 points, receiving a Silver Seed as a reward, B-class evaluation."
"Ai Yixin, what did I ever do to offend you?" Sha Ou snorted, bringing the tension into the open.
"Hmph, figure it out yourself!" Ai Yixin couldn’t be bothered with him since they’d fallen out, there was no point in pretending anymore.
Lin Weiguo sighed, offering a brief explanation. He wisely refrained from playing peacemaker, knowing the depth of Ai Yixin’s feelings for Chu Baichuan. The duel between the two was bound to be to the death.
"I’m warning you two, don’t fight in secret. After the next battle, I’ll settle things," both were combatants, and Tang Zheng of course wouldn’t let them internally wear each other down. If one died in the next battle, that would be just fine. If they survived, he’d deal with them later.
They glared at each other and nodded. They didn’t dare to defy Tang Zheng’s orders.
"Gu Xiaohua, the perfect survival expert. In any crisis, you can find the best solution to stay alive. It’s just that you’re too rational, lacking emotion. You scored four thousand five hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation."
Gu Xueqi had closed off her emotions early on, probably due to precocious development and a tough life over the years.
"Shen Qingshuang, you have brains and you work hard, but unfortunately, you’re too weak with all supportive skills. You’re skilled in science fiction themes. I think you’ll die soon. You scored one thousand nine hundred points, rewarded with one Bronze Seed, C-level evaluation."
Shen Qingshuang sighed. Facing the powerful bosses, even with all the brains, she was just cannon fodder.
"Uncle Shen, don’t be discouraged. You’ll get stronger." Lu Fan covered his fist and waved it.
"Miserable soldier, doomed to be an engineer. Don’t you feel suffocated living ? When I look at you, it’s like a tragedy unfolding. Could it be because you’ve grown stronger, satisfying your wife so that she hasn’t cheated recently? You scored four thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."
Xu Liangmao had checked the list and long ignored these taunts.
"Female anchor, I hope you continue to be proud, don’t bow down. Are you really prepared to lick Tang Zheng’s balls to survive? You scored four thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."
Ruan Feifei and Tang Zheng both had unpleasant expressions, the Trojan’s evaluation was too harsh.
Pang Meiqin crossed her arms and looked at the female anchor, not taking her seriously at all.
"Engineer Lin, seems like you’ve been living quite well lately, I’m envious. You scored five thousand points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation."
Lin Weiguo had no desires, content with his modest fortune and just waiting to return home to his wife and kids.
"Natural Stupid, has another dingbat like you, Jing Xiang, died? Don’t you feel lonely? Speaking of which, your bust size has increased again. Do you want to become a dairy cow? Surely you haven’t been rubbing them every day? You scored three thousand six hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, B-Class evaluation."
Bai Guo’s chest was indeed large, perhaps too big to grasp in two hands.
"Video game girl, you need to work harder, your strength is too weak, you’ll definitely be eliminated. You scored two thousand five hundred points, rewarded with one Bronze Seed, B-Class evaluation."
Xu Biyun’s face turned bitter, feeling more and more discouraged.
"Ai Yixin, reviving your husband for twenty thousand points is no small sum, please work diligently to save up. But once you die, it’ll be reset to zero. You scored four thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Silver Seed, Level A evaluation."
The Trojan deliberately frightened the housewife, hoping to make her spend some points, but clearly, it was unsuccessful.
"Pang Meiqin, you’re getting bolder. This is going against nature! If you enter the Holy Land, you’ll surely surprise other Conquerors. It seems you’ve had quite the harvest, haven’t you? How is Tang Zheng’s taste? Has he made you yearn for more? You scored four thousand six hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation."
The Silver Trojan was as lecherous as a depraved freak, but Pang Meiqin didn’t bother with him, nor did she care about the stares of others; she was determined to have Tang Zheng all to herself.
"Mrs. Li, I get anxious just looking at you. Would it kill you to be promiscuous once? You had such a great advantage, all wasted now. Think about the scene of Pang Meiqin moaning under Tang Zheng, are you willing to accept that? You scored four thousand two hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation."
Li Xinlan’s mind was in turmoil, she wanted to just walk away. As a traditional woman, she had too many concerns.
"Qin Yan, the hymen really is a lucky sacred object, isn’t it? Please continue to maintain it, make absolutely sure not to accidentally break it. You scored five thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Star Seed, S-level evaluation."
"Mu Nianqi, I really hate seeing you. Can you just die soon? After all these years, your strength hasn’t diminished. You scored six thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Star Seed, S-level evaluation."
"You want me to die? Wait another hundred years!" Mu Nianqi would never let the Trojan get under her skin.
"Scum Tang, it looks like you’re about to shed your good guy image. That’s more like it. To survive, you must plunder scarce resources and trample others underfoot. Actually, I’m really looking forward to your death, wondering what this team will become. You’re nothing but a trash with a combat power less than five. By the way, if you’re not gay, you should confirm your relationship soon, I’m even anxious for you. You scored six thousand six hundred points, rewarded with one Star Seed, SS-Class evaluation."
Tang Zheng’s status was still unshakeable; that evaluation was proof enough. Mu Nianqi gave Tang Zheng a white look, her face indifferent, but deep down, she was not giving in.
The Silver Trojan’s screen was about to go dark, making Pang Meiqin frown, "Hey, what about Lu Fan’s evaluation?"
"Violent loli, hmm, that’s between us. I’m not telling you. You scored four thousand one hundred points, rewarded with one Golden Seed, Level A evaluation. "
"Trojan, what do you mean by that?" Pang Meiqin had always been suspicious of Lu Fan’s authenticity and needed to clarify.
"Trojan, you screwed me over!" Lu Fan was furious, she could obviously guess the Trojan’s insinuations.
"Sorry, nothing to disclose. Grading complete. If you don’t purchase weapons, you may leave and enjoy a fifteen-day ordinary life!"
The crowd looked at Lu Fan with different eyes.
"What? You doubt me?" Lu Fan was frustrated, pouting with her big eyes brimming with tears.
No matter how much Pang Meiqin called out, the Trojan ignored her. (To be continued. If you work, we welcome you to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
