Chapter 270: Chapter 127: Negative Points Invincible

Gao Xin listened to the movements outside while scanning the room.

The room’s setup was simple, empty, except for a silently standing robot.

Then, the outside noise quickly ceased.

Raguel’s voice resonated, "The first round of tacit question and answer begins, the first to ring the bell will pose the question."

Gao Xin quickly reopened the door and saw the other players had opened theirs as well.

Room A housed three people: the Swamp Crocodile, a Viking Gang muscleman, and an Asian with both arms as cybernetic limbs.

Room B had one person, wearing a masked helmet, likely Caucasian.

Room C had two people: Rocket Head was there, after failing to recruit Ling Sha, he recruited another Asian who carries twin swords and wears a masked scarf.

Room D housed Ling Sha alone.

Room F had the single black participant, dressed in stark white armor, looking somewhat out of place.

Room G had only Gao Xin.

A total of nine people occupied just six rooms.

"Whew!"

Gao Xin dashed towards the round table at high speed, hitting the bell with a slap.

"Ding!"

He became the questioner for the first round!

All other players had to return to their rooms within five seconds.

Of course, no one else came out; he was the only one racing for the bell.

"Ha ha, what’s there to fight over a bell for?" Rocket Head couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

The twin swordsman beside him also could not restrain a grin, looking at Gao Xin as if seeing a novice.

Having rung the bell, Gao Xin then ducked under the table, as if fearing Ling Sha might strike him from afar.

He then shouted at the Swamp Crocodile, "Mo Lei big brother, what question would you like to ask?"

With this statement, the Viking Gang muscleman glared at Gao Xin, realizing that this fellow was just trying to curry favor.

Yet the Swamp Crocodile chuckled, "Kid, you’re smart, knowing that now is the time to ensure your own safety by becoming the questioner."

The questioner ensures his own safety?

Some in the room hesitated but soon realized the significance of Gao Xin’s eagerness to become the questioner.

Being the questioner meant not having a number of one’s own and hence, not participating in the subsequent ranking.

In other words, the questioner doesn’t earn any points this round.

That’s why Rocket Head said, what’s there to fight over?

But being the questioner neither scores nor deducts points.

For Gao Xin, who was severely injured and needing time to recover, becoming the questioner was the best choice.

Protection! No one would force him to reveal his number, since he had none!

During the halftime break, no one would challenge him either, since he had no points!

In everyone’s eyes, Gao Xin was a recognized pushover, but by becoming the questioner, he was, at least for this round, the safest person.

The Swamp Crocodile asked, "Kid, what’s your name?"

Gao Xin responded openly, "Tai Sui!"

The Swamp Crocodile thought about it, had not heard of it, and said indifferently, "Fine, your question will be ’What are everyone’s aliases this round.’"

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "No problem."

People began closing their doors while Gao Xin started operating the round table.

The first question was doomed to fail.

It didn’t matter what he asked, but it was still best to choose questions that could reveal more information.

After all, the rules stated the answer must be correct.

Gao Xin gave the Swamp Crocodile the power to ask, and he certainly did not waste the opportunity, directly asking for everyone’s aliases.

The room A first responded, and the answer was soon announced: "Swamp Crocodile, Steel Axe, Iron Hand."

Did they just reveal the aliases of all three people in their room?

Steel Axe must be the Viking Gang man, and Iron Hand the Asian with cyber arms.

Then it was the turn of the masked Caucasian from room B: "Black Knight."

Gao Xin chuckled, this guy was a bit scheming.

At his place, most people’s names had already been revealed.

Swamp Crocodile, Steel Axe, Iron Hand, Ling Sha, Rocket Head, and he, Tai Sui.

Only the armor-clad black man, the twin sword Asian, and this masked man were left with unknown aliases.

He could have given any of the six known aliases, but instead, he said ’Black Knight.’

And the name Black Knight seemed more likely to belong to the black man.

So did this guy know the black man and had a grudge against him, reporting his alias instead?

Now it was room C’s turn.

When Rocket Head and his companion answered, they only said: "Rocket Head."

Clearly, the other man carrying twin swords did not want to reveal his alias.

Then came room D with Ling Sha: "Swamp Crocodile, Steel Axe, Iron Hand, Ling Sha, Tai Sui, Rocket Head, Black Knight... Viper!"

Gao Xin was startled at this answer.

"Viper? Where’s a Viper? Did Viper also come?"

However, right after, Raguel prompted, "The answer is incorrect, please re-enter the answer."

Ling Sha laughed, "Swamp Crocodile, Steel Axe, Iron Hand, Ling Sha, Tai Sui, Rocket Head, Black Knight..."

Ling Sha continued, "Krait!"

This time there was no prompt of her answering incorrectly.

Gao Xin smiled; she had guessed right.

As expected, the man with twin swords was Krait.

And he obviously was a Yakuza executive, his alias matching those such as Viper, Tanabu, and Water Snake.

But why did she list so many aliases before rather than just answering the question?

So that’s how it was; this woman was also hinting that her number was 8.

That was indeed how to play the game correctly.

When it was time to cooperate for the final challenge, as long as the questions weren’t too tricky, the answers could be hinted at through this method, revealing their numbers.

But clearly, no one would play that way in the first round.

Then it was room E’s turn, which was unoccupied and answered by an AI robot.

It provided five aliases, which was quite subtle. The AI was seriously playing; following Ling Sha’s format, it also hinted that it was 5.
