Chapter 114: Chapter 42 Removing the Radiators_3

"Then she’d consider eliminating the hidden threats around her first."

"Right, Xing Shiping? Did you tell the other side the content of our next round’s invitation?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xing Shiping.

Meimei exclaimed in shock, "Has he defected?"

Xing Shiping’s face changed, "What?"

Gao Xin stared at him, "I’m asking you, did you leak the information to them?"

"I..." Xing Shiping realized that his sudden change of expression was as good as an admission of guilt.

He simply blurted out, "Yes! I defected, I turned to the black side after coming out of the voting room!"

The curly-haired boy and his friends looked at Xing Shiping in surprise, recalling that they too had felt something odd when he came out of the room, looking serious and downcast.

"Brother Xing, you told us not to lie, and here you were lying yourself?" The square-faced boy was also baffled.

Xing Shiping spoke gravely, "I didn’t lie, I truly voted for the square. It was after I left the room that I suddenly saw the message that I had defected."

"I just didn’t bring it up on my own, you guys didn’t ask."

Meimei cried out, "I was about to ask..."

Gao Xin silenced her, "I know, that’s why I stopped you. We needed that facade of harmony just like the other side did at that time."

"Harmony what?" Xing Shiping said somewhat agitatedly, "I was just concealing the fact, while you were outright lying!"

"What about bringing all the ’glass people’ through this, it’s simply not possible."

"I even asked you repeatedly, if you truly wanted the ’glass people’ on the other side to survive, and you said yes. If that’s not lying, what is?"

The curly-haired boy was startled, "Ah? But Brother Xing, didn’t we say before? You could show cowardice."

"As long as you’re not a Gladiator, you’re not bound by the death duel rules. We didn’t send anyone out just now, we just lost a drop of blood and there was no other problem."

Xing Shiping gripped him and yelled, "Yes, you can show cowardice, but you still lose the blood anyway!"

"The team whose life points are drained gets annihilated."

"So, we must deplete the enemy’s life points, and the defenders can only send ’glass people,’ not Radiation."

"Which means, to win this game, it’s impossible without sacrificing the five ’glass people’ on the other side."

"Although I know there’s no other way, sacrificing those NPCs is still better than sacrificing us."

"But you say you want to keep the ’glass people’ on the other side alive, which is a joke. If we don’t sacrifice them, should we sacrifice ourselves?"

"Who knows what you’re up to? I can only prioritize my survival and my friends’!"

Gao Xin spoke calmly, "The other side can also avoid battle."

"Or before the white side’s life points are depleted, all the ’glass people’ could become black, that would work too."

Xing Shiping and the others fell silent, thinking over it, it seemed right.

But then he said, "But...that’s too idealistic! How could the other side possibly avoid battle?"

"In the atonement game, as long as there are Radiation and ’glass people’ together, such a harmonious situation is impossible."

"You mean to say that they are reluctant for the Glass People to die by our hands, planning to keep them alive to kill themselves and thus lose blood for nothing?"

"Not at all, one drop of blood means one thousand less for everyone. And killing one person from the enemy camp only gives a single player one thousand."

"All the Radiation from the other side came in groups, why would they do that?"

"As for everyone turning black, the number of turns needed is too long, and there’s too much unpredictability. Like you said before, we simply can’t fight such a tacit battle for that long."

Looking at the worried yet resolute expression on Xing Shiping’s face, Gao Xin slightly shook his head.

He said decisively, "I can fully understand your feelings; you want you and your companions to survive. As long as all five of you turn black, you can win together with them."

"But in the game of Atonement, Glass People must never expect any lifeline thrown by Radiation!"

"Because trusting them at every step is like gambling with your life."

"The more you hope they will take you along for survival, the more they’ll despise you, the less they’ll care about your life."

"Only by first respecting yourself, treating yourself as a real player, being even more ruthless than them, will it work."

"You say Radiation wouldn’t do that? Then why don’t you ask me, am I willing to do it?"

"I’m not willing to do it either!"

"I aim to achieve the ending ’All Glass People Survive.’ If Radiation doesn’t agree, I’ll eliminate Radiation!"

Xing Shiping and the others were stunned; they finally sensed that their way of playing and thinking was different from Gao Xin’s.

All Glass People naturally felt inferior, never considering killing Radiation, only thinking about identifying the winner among Radiation and surviving by following them.

But Gao Xin, speaking of putting himself on an equal or even higher standing, never cared about whether Radiation agreed or not. Disagreement meant they were enemies, and even if those enemies were incredibly strong, they remained enemies.

Gao Xin patted Xing Shiping’s shoulder: "As long as Radiation doesn’t force it, why would those Glass People come out to die?"

"In this game, the ten NPCs on the other side definitely have no redemption tickets to collect; their greatest and only desire is to survive!"

"Whoever can make them survive will have their allegiance!"

The group nodded, indeed; it was self-evident.

NPCs are done once they survive; as long as they can live, they will do whatever they are told.

If all Radiation can be successfully eliminated, then the situation would become... ten black Glass People versus ten white Glass People.

From there, the game can end however one wishes.

Xing Shiping came back to his senses, staring at Gao Xin, not expecting that he seriously planned to keep even the NPCs on the other side alive.

"You...are you serious? We’re struggling to keep ourselves safe, yet you’re willing to desperately save those ten people on the other side? You’re ready to fight to the death against all the Radiation on the other side, to wipe them out?"

Gao Xin looked at him intently: "You’ve got the logic wrong."

"It’s precisely because our own safety is uncertain that we must save those on the other side!"

"In this game, if only we make the effort, it’s hard to win against the other side. But if we can unite all the NPCs on the other side, we can eliminate Radiation."

"Conversely, only by eliminating Radiation can we save the NPCs on the other side."

"And we can survive, possibly even receiving substantial rewards. These things naturally complement each other and offer great benefits, so why not do it?"
