Chapter 172: Chapter 77 Human Rewards_3

Thankfully, there was a different Radiator who had thought of these things and stepped forward to stop it, otherwise, I would have been recklessly slashed by the ghoul without even a chance to speak.

With this in mind, he looked towards Gao Xin.

He saw that Gao Xin was also looking at him, his gaze seemingly peering at a past version of himself.

Gao Xin wasn’t surprised by the soul hunting game strategy. Instead, he asked, "What’s your name?"

"Dong Chuan..." His eyes were filled with caution and fear.

Gao Xin smiled, "Playing the game is tough, isn’t it? Without enough strength, you don’t even qualify for a battle of wits..."

"In this world, there are too many things that, despite struggling to death, still end in failure. It’s possible that someone’s fleeting thought or a single sentence can destroy all your efforts. What can you do about it?"

This struck a chord with the Glass People. Dong Chuan looked at Gao Xin, visibly moved.

However, the Viking Gang member holding him hostage glanced at his own brother’s neck collar and noticed no change.

The number of souls was invisible, meaning, there was no way to verify this.

Immediately, he snorted disdainfully, "What nonsense about inheritance, about people having souls..."

"It’s all just talk. Do you think I’d let my brother give up the ghost position? Maybe in the end, only the ghost can settle soul rewards."

Gao Xin shook his head, "Impossible, otherwise the rewards would be too small!"

"Even if you kill everyone, including your own brother, you’ll only get a maximum of 1,400 points. Do you think that’s possible?"

"That’s even less than the reward I got from my first rookie welfare game!"

Lauren shrugged, "You’re right. If I kill everyone except my brothers, it’s 1,300 points, then pass the ghost to him, and he’d also share up to 1,300 points."

"Together we’d have 2,600 points, which is more beneficial for my gang."

High risk has high rewards. A game of mutant difficulty surely wouldn’t offer only 1,400 points after killing everyone.

"Great, thanks for sharing all this," Lauren said with a ferocious smile to the Glass People.

Gao Xin said coldly, "So you’re only aiming for 2,600 points?"

Lauren waved his hand, "No, no, no, you beat the Fat Pig, I know you’re strong."

"But you were seriously injured and even more gaunt. You probably can’t take on both of us at the same time, can you?"

"As long as you don’t insist on fighting, the Viking Gang isn’t necessarily greedy for higher profits; it’s good enough as it is."

"How about this, brother, the three of us Radiators team up and eliminate everyone else. Each of us takes 1,200 points. It would be so much easier."

"There’s no need for a desperate fight, just casually killing a few ants could end the game, isn’t that wonderful?"

Dong Chuan, with his scars all over his body turning red from urgency, was just about to say something.

However, Gao Xin had already decisively said, "I refuse."

Lauren frowned, "Why?"

Gao Xin shook his head, "Kerry is still alive. I could also collaborate with him. If he and I take you two down, plus the soul of the Fat Pig you killed, that’s an extra 300 points."

"The remaining 12 people sharing the bounty would total 3,600 points. Even if I split it evenly with Kerry, we each get 1,800 points!"

"The true meaning of ’ghost catch people’ is for the ghost to capture without killing. The more people the ghost controls, the more souls can be created."

"Without a doubt, Glass People are the best targets for soul farming, as they can forgo redemption coupons and simply beg for their lives, contributing everything."

"If I kill them all, my gain actually decreases..."

Dong Chuan hurriedly said, "Yes, the game is called ghost catch people, not ghost kill people. I don’t want redemption coupons, I just want to live!"

Lauren’s lips twitched, ignoring the Glass Person, and simply stared at Gao Xin, "Do you think you have us brothers figured out?"

"By the same token, it applies to me too. If we kill you, wouldn’t we get 3,600 points?"

"Kid, give it a rest, look how skinny you are!"

"And that Four Fingers, he’s gone into hiding to heal, hasn’t he? He must be more injured than you!"

"Let’s do this, all four remaining Radiators unite. That way, there’s no need for any fight, we just effortlessly slaughter the Glass People to secure the win."

Gao Xin seriously said, "What are you thinking? If four Radiators collaborate, we should not kill all the Glass People. In fact, keeping four alive would be the best scenario."

"If a total of eight people survive, and the ghoul kills seven, that would make 700 as the base. Sharing among eight people would total up to 5,600 points."

"Even if we four Radiators have to share, each of us would still get 1,400 points."

"That’s the same as the gain from you killing everyone on your own!"

Upon calculating, Lauren realized that indeed, if four Radiators cooperated and killed everyone, each would only get 1,100 points.

If four Glass People were left, each could get 1,400 points.

Similarly, if three Radiators collaborated, then keeping five Glass People would be optimal.

Lauren looked at Gao Xin, puzzled, "Hm? So, if in the end only two Radiators collaborate, they would only need to keep six Glass People."

"5,600 points split between two people, each could get 2,800 points!"

"But earlier, you said you wanted to keep ten Glass People for only 1,800 points? Isn’t that a loss?"

Gao Xin said coldly, "Because it’s not a sure win, how much do you underestimate the Glass People? Have you never suffered at the hands of the Glass People?"

"Eh?" Lauren scoffed, "What could the Glass People possibly do?"

Gao Xin seriously said, "There’s more than one hidden item in the game. I don’t know how many talismans the Glass People have, but I’m sure neither of you two have any."

"If all four Radiators unite, clearly intending to kill all the Glass People, then they have no way out."

"If they are pushed to the edge and have even one item in hand, they might choose to destroy the Demon Blade, rendering everything void, rather than resign themselves to fate."

"And I will not allow the Demon Blade to be destroyed. So..."

"Ten Glass People—I won’t let you lay a finger on any of them!"
