Chapter 115: Chapter 43: All Things are Divided into Yin and Yang

Xing Shiping sighed, finally understanding Gao Xin.

Previously, he had been unable to see the forest for the trees, occupied with the thought of saving his own people and failing completely to grasp the significance of saving those on the other side.

But in reality, saving others was saving oneself.

His perspective had been too narrow, while Gao Xin had chosen a strategy that was maximally beneficial for everyone involved.

Of course, that didn’t include the Radiation, who intended to kill everyone.

"The key to handling the Radiation," Gao Xin said, "lies in making them believe that you are certain to win, while at the same time stirring up infighting among them."

At that moment, Xing Shiping understood: "You didn’t point it out earlier precisely to make the other side think we were disunited, to make me defect to them, to paralyze them, and to gain Sofia’s trust, right?"

Gao Xin asked, "What did you discuss with her?"

Xing Shiping replied awkwardly, "In order to survive and turn black for my companions and me..."

"I told her that Louis successfully defected and that next round, I will be setting the questions with the options of an upright triangle and an inverted triangle..."

"She told me to keep tipping her the answers subsequently, to ensure that the black side remains at full health! She even asked me to find a way to sabotage your votes."

"I agreed to all that, and it seems that the other side completely fell for it."

The others were speechless. How could they not believe it?

That was because, previously, Xing Shiping genuinely intended to defect to the black side and must have spoken very sincerely.

Plus, by handing over the solutions directly, he was fulfilling the role of a traitor to a tee, making it hard for Sofia to imagine that Xing Shiping, now with a nearly certain win with the black side, would still assist the white side.

Now, Sofia had started dealing with the Viking Gang, which indicated she fully believed she had the situation under her control.

Gao Xin watched the ongoing fierce battle inside the opposing base, chaotic and intense.

He then pointed to the round table and declared, "You’ve done well. Now it’s our turn to attack. Send the invitation at once!"

Xing Shiping nodded, his voice solemn, "Rest assured, I was confused for a moment, but now that I understand your intentions, I definitely won’t help her win!"

"These Radiations, how can they comprehend the life-and-death bond between us slaves?"

"You’re right, if we want to live, we have to fight for it!"

"The more she thinks she’s got the win locked down, the better it is for our counterattack."

"I’ve already leaked a fake solution to her. As long as we switch up the questions unexpectedly, there’s no way they can coordinate their votes... We have to at least knock off one drop of their blood this time!"

Gao Xin looked at him, "Who said it was a fake solution?"

"Huh?" Xing Shiping was startled.

Gao Xin went ahead and set up the duel invitation as Xing Shiping had earlier stated, with the options being three triangles facing different directions.

"You’re actually going with that question?" Xing Shiping’s eyes widened, "Isn’t that just handing them a round for free?"

Gao Xin replied, "Let them have it, why not? We don’t lose blood if our attack is blocked."

"You’ve worked hard to gain their trust; why let it be exposed so soon?"

"She wants the black side to always be at full health, and that suits me just fine—I want the same thing!"

With that, Gao Xin made room and said, "Check if there’s anything wrong, fill in the content, and send it as you told her."

Xing Shiping checked, casually added a string of ellipses to the content, and sent it.

The group immediately crowded by the window, observing the other side.

Though the view wasn’t clear, they could see that the fighting had stopped.

Once the duel invitation is sent, everyone must enter the voting room within a minute.

After all, failing to vote unanimously, just like failing to vote at all, would be deemed acceptance of the duel.

Though they could arm the defending glass men with firearms and such, like the muscle man had mentioned, the black side couldn’t realistically rely solely on NPC combatants to win.

Especially since they also knew that Gao Xin, on the white side, was a powerful glass man.

Therefore, completing the duel invitation’s vote was the most reliable way to preserve their blood level.

Xing Shiping commented, "It looks like they’ve called a truce... Who would have thought that the Viking Gang would last so long against a three-to-five situation."

"By issuing the invitation now, it seems like we’ve indirectly saved the Viking Gang’s skin."

For a moment, everyone was frustrated. Sofia’s crew was a little underwhelming, weren’t they?

Five against three, and they still couldn’t pull it off?

Qiao Long said seriously, "Radiations are usually very tenacious. Don’t expect a life-or-death outcome in a short time."

"So far, the two Radiations who have died were both targeted for elimination."

"Don’t underestimate the Viking Gang for being outnumbered; they are a violent group. Who dares to prioritize brute force in the game if they weren’t skilled?"

"If not for Gao Xin sabotaging them at the start of the game, their combat power might well have exceeded that of Sofia’s crew."

Su Lei and Meimei exchanged glances, recalling the arrogant and terrifying Silver Hand, who alone took down three opponents. Therefore, the Viking Gang might still have the chance to win despite being outnumbered three to five.

The group continued to watch, and it seemed that the other side was reaching an agreement quickly.

The hall gradually emptied; they must be going to the voting room in groups.

This situation was to the advantage of the Radiation: a brief ceasefire was established, but the enmity was already deep-seated.

The Viking Gang had lost one member—though it was through their own voting—they would definitely place the blame first on Sofia!

Gao Xin spread his hands and said, "Sofia’s goal is straightforward. Now that she controls the situation, she needs to protect the blood level of the black side. One drop of blood less means a thousand less for everyone."

"But Louis’s demands will now be much lower. Radiations are resilient, and what the Viking Gang needs now is time to rest and... to not be chosen as Gladiators again!"

Their eyes lit up; that was right, the Viking Gang would definitely not dare to be Gladiators again.

The last one who was a Gladiator had already turned to ashes...

There are just too many rules targeting Gladiators; it’s a high-risk occupation!

But the thing is, the Gladiator is chosen by who has the most votes! Even if there’s just one vote, as long as everyone else has zero, they will be selected as the Gladiator and must fight.
