Chapter 128: Chapter 52 Tie

On the other side, inside the white base, there was a mix of shock and excitement.

As Gao Xin stepped into the base, Meimei covered her mouth and shrieked, "Brother!!!"

Dongfang Yi also watched with excitement as Gao Xin came back alive.

"You actually did it... Boss, how could you dare to bet?"

Gao Xin’s eyes were resolute as he said, "Why shouldn’t I dare to bet?"

"I can’t accept an ending where the white side wins--in fact, it would be even harder to win."

"Since I’ve set the target, I’ll do my best to achieve it. Win or die, I bet the other side wouldn’t dare to!"

Dongfang Yi looked at Gao Xin deeply, "That was too risky. If they had even a bit of trust, or if they figured out you weren’t a Gladiator, you would have been dead for sure!"

"Even if they’d realized you were determined to leave the black players alive, they would have had no choice but to unite and bet their lives to come out and kill you."

"If they could do any of that, you would have died."

"Did you really see through them so confidently?"

Radiation weren’t afraid to risk their lives; they would dare to do so at the critical moment, but they needed a reason compelling enough...

Unlike Gao Xin, who would even bet his life on something like insisting on winning as black, not killing black players, and fighting to protect every last drop of blood--no one could have anticipated that.

Gao Xin said with emotion, "Each one of you values life more than anything else... there’s nothing to see through."

"Unless you rid yourselves of the fear of death, when it comes to life and death, the choices are all the same."

"Just as you decisively decided to kill all the black players after encountering betrayal, they would think the same way."

Dongfang Yi grimaced; of course, life was the most important thing.

He knew full well that after killing all the black players, the game would become much harder.

If Gao Xin hadn’t fought and shown the other side up, that would mean now they could only win as white, and they would have to fight against five drops of blood with just one drop!

To take turns attacking, that meant ten more rounds!

What concept is this? As the options increase later on, even if they killed everyone else in the base, leaving only the five of them, they couldn’t guarantee perfect unity every time!

The best way to win was, like Gao Xin, to take the black route.

But even though Dongfang Yi understood all this, so what? Wasn’t he still resolute in wanting to kill all the black players?

Meimei said with surprise, "Brother, I still think you were too greedy. You can say that because you succeeded, but what if you had failed... If it were me, I would still choose the most stable method."

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes, "Greedy? Is that what you think? I’ve said, if I failed, then you all could follow your way of playing."

"Don’t count on me anyway; I would rather die in the Duel Arena."

"Because I can’t accept the worst result."

Meimei in astonishment, "The worst result of you going to fight is... death!"

Gao Xin earnestly said, "The team collapsing, fighting five drops of blood with one, enduring ten rounds, the worst outcome is death, isn’t it? Believe me, it would be worse than death..."

"Once the other side intimidates and a fool emerges from your team, you think it’s very stable to kill all of them, that no one can threaten your life... If you let such logic trap you..."

"You’ll soon realize, it’s not stable enough. When you struggle against the increasingly united Radiation and make a slight mistake, you’ll think Su Lei, Meimei, Qiao Long are all idiots."

"Everyone except for yourself is an idiot, better to kill them all. That way, by defending the base alone, one can achieve absolute defense, that’s the most stable..."

"If you win, that’s fine, but if you lose, you die here in a pitiful and unaccomplished manner... That’s what I consider the worst outcome."

Meimei fell silent, those who seek the top receive mediocrity, those who seek mediocrity receive the low, those who seek the low achieve nothing!

Dongfang Yi bowed his head in thought, "Isn’t eliminating traitors a matter of course?"

Gao Xin scoffed, "Nobody knows what’s going on, what betrayal? We’ve only known each other for three minutes, they’re black, we’re white, without any plan, just confused for a moment, playing instinctively according to our identities, like marionettes."

"At best, it’s ingratitude, and even that hasn’t gone to extremes. Didn’t I say, ’I’m relieved they didn’t make me a Gladiator’?"

"NPCs are anxious and worried about gains and losses, don’t expect them all to be clear-headed. Sometimes people just have a stupid moment... yet you want to choose to kill them all? Don’t let this game twist you. This is a real issue in our team, and it’s better to bring it to light sooner rather than later."

"Only those with low thinking capacity would choose to kill to avoid the problem. Those with high capacity will seek to solve it."

"You shouldn’t just think about so little, Dongfang Yi. I have high expectations for you. You’re smart, but... you need to have heart."

Dongfang Yi sighed deeply. Not have heart? What heart? Empathy?

The forgiveness of those who avoid problems is incompetence, and the forgiveness of those who solve problems is redemption.

And Gao Xin, willing to risk his own life to ensure safety, required not just strategy and courage, but also compassion.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t even think of it... and even if you did, you wouldn’t do it, because narrow logic traps people.

"You need to have heart..." Dongfang Yi suddenly looked up, his eyes shining, the situation opened up, and his thoughts became clear.

Abandoning personal danger and considering the team, the most stable choice was actually Gao Xin’s... doubly insured.

After all, if all the black players were killed, victory could only be white, and then the single drop of white blood had to be safeguarded even more... ready to fight! Otherwise, how would you play with just one drop of white blood? Might as well fight until there’s only one person left.

Gao Xin was actually risking his life for the whole team, for both "winning as black" and "winning as white" at once!
