Chapter 298: Chapter 137: The 2nd Negative Scoring Player

Tai Sui cursed silently in his heart, very angry, but unable to change the fact that the decision to abandon Gao Xin was ultimately his own.

And these were 12 points, plus his own 2 points, he would be holding 14 points in total.

This was the same result as if everyone had killed Gao Xin and shared his points, he could only accept this plan.

"I... have no problem..."

Lin An immediately said, "I have even less of a problem! Thanks, Sister Ling Sha!"

Everyone looked at Gao Xin, undoubtedly, Gao Xin could not object, or he would die without a single point.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xin calmly said, "I refuse."

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked and could not understand.

Ling Sha frowned deeply, "You refuse? What right do you have to refuse me? You don’t have a choice!"

Gao Xin’s gaze hardened, "No one in this world has the right to tell me ’you have no choice’."

Ling Sha stared at Gao Xin, she had everything under control, yet this guy dared to refuse.

"Stop being stubborn, the terms I’ve offered you are already very generous."

"Join me, and you won’t die, you’ll even have 10 points, and later you can continue to earn more points."

"Are you still trying to bargain with me?"

Gao Xin coldly said, "Then I won’t bargain."

"You three go ahead as a group, just play it the way you said, don’t count me in."

Having said that, he actually turned around and walked away.

Just as he was about to leave, Ling Sha suddenly stood up, "Tai Sui! Do you really think you can take on the three of us?"

Gao Xin slightly turned and said, "You’ve played well, leading from start to finish."

"Ling Sha, you think you can control everything, but can you really do it?"

"Earlier, I said you underestimated two things."

"This second one... is my strength."

"Just because I’m unknown, doesn’t mean I’m destined to be beneath others!"

"Try to kill me if you can, haha!"

Saying that, he did not look back, laughing loudly as he exited.

Tai Sui and Lin An were both shocked, not expecting Gao Xin to choose this way, suddenly showing his edge, planning to confront their group of three head-on?

This was the strongest duo, plus Lin An, how could he dare?

Even Tai Sui at this moment was forced to join, not daring to stand alone.

Gao Xin however decisively refused, showing no fear...

Had they underestimated his strength?

Ling Sha stared blankly at Gao Xin’s departing figure, for some reason, she felt the situation was somewhat beyond her control.

...

After coming out, Gao Xin saw Steel Axe and others had already come out.

Among them, Rocket Head and Steel Axe had completed their pairing, undoubtedly, these two were numbers 3 and 7.

The rest, Viper and Iron Hand, were both frowning in thought, with Viper looking particularly troubled.

Seeing Gao Xin come out, Iron Hand immediately asked, "Tai Sui, which number are you?"

Gao Xin simply said, "Lin An is 2, whoever is 8 among you, go find him to pair up."

Hearing this, Iron Hand immediately went to the door of Ling Sha’s room, calling Lin An out.

Undoubtedly, Iron Hand was then number 8.

By process of elimination, it was known that Viper was number 4.

"Viper, want to come in for a chat?" Gao Xin suddenly suggested.

Viper was startled, "What do I have to chat about with you?"

Gao Xin shrugged, "I don’t mind, you being a 4, if you can’t find someone to pair with, you might lose points."

Seeing Gao Xin call out his number, Viper gave no reaction but pointed to a nearby room.

Just as the two were about to go in and talk, suddenly Ling Sha rushed out with Lin An, "Viper, I’m number 6, you can only pair with me!"

Viper was shocked, "You’re number 6?"

At the same time, the Black Knight rejoiced, "See, see, Ling Sha is indeed not number 9, but number 6."

Wait a moment, isn’t the fraudster revealing themselves now?

At this moment, one fraudster had already been ruled out, the remaining one would be uncovered soon.

Gao Xin, whose number had been taken, did not argue, but simply said, "Viper, whether you want to talk with her or with me, you choose."

"Or you can just stand there, not pair with anyone, that’s also an option."

Viper squinted, he didn’t dare to share a room with Ling Sha, especially with Lin An and Tai Sui present.

To be honest, Tai Sui being with Ling Sha in the same room talking had shocked him.

A room full of people who wanted to kill him, so when Gao Xin came out, he saw Viper with a troubled expression.

Now that Gao Xin wanted to talk to him alone, although he was also an enemy, comparatively, he was not afraid.

"Tai Sui, come in." Viper opened the room door wide.

Gao Xin entered, and he immediately closed the door.

"Tsk, just my luck Viper is number 4..." Ling Sha muttered outside, realizing Gao Xin was trying to steal her pairing.

If Gao Xin and Viper paired up as 6-4, each would get 4 points.

And Ling Sha, being number 5, would be left alone, earning zero points.

Thus, Tai Sui became the only player with 2 points.

"How are we supposed to make this work? You have no points, how can you form an alliance with me?" Tai Sui was anxious.

Ling Sha calmly said, "It doesn’t matter, I don’t need the money, you and Lin An split it equally."

"This way we are still a team of three."

"As long as our combination is solid, there will be plenty of points."

"Don’t think Tai Sui and Viper pairing up will work, they can’t cooperate. After getting their 4 points, those with 4 points will still want to kill Tai Sui."

"Besides, I’ve said I’m number 6, Viper might not believe Tai Sui."

Tai Sui raised an eyebrow, this woman really treated money like dirt?

To maintain a stable cooperation, she would rather not take a single dime.

Now it depended on how Viper would choose.

After a while, Gao Xin and Viper came out.

They did not pair up, and Viper directly went to find Ling Sha.

"Are you really number 6?" Viper asked.

Ling Sha unflinchingly replied, "Yes, I am number 6."

Viper hesitated, seemingly unable to discern whether Ling Sha or Gao Xin was number 6.

"You and Tai Sui, both want to kill me, I can’t trust either of you."

Ling Sha sneered, "So, you plan to score zero this round?"

"I don’t mind, let’s all score zero then."

Viper scoring zero was acceptable to her, as she hadn’t planned to include number 4 in the game anyway.

Hearing this, Viper looked up at Ling Sha with a complex expression in his eyes.

Ling Sha saw the situation and suddenly felt something was wrong; she seemed to have misspoken.

However, seeing that the Viper was indifferent, she couldn’t very well correct herself.

The situation was at a stalemate.

And as time ticked by the minute and second, the pairing time was about to end.

The Black Knight grew restless. He looked at Gao Xin, "What did you just talk about with Viper? Did you tell him you are number 6?"

Gao Xin calmly said, "I am number 9."

Hearing this, the Black Knight immediately observed Viper and found no reaction.

That is to say, even facing number 4 Viper, Gao Xin still claimed he was number 9—then he must really be number 9!

At this moment, Ling Sha had already been eliminated, and Swamp Crocodile stood far away on the other side, obviously a big liar.

Only Gao Xin, from beginning to end, claimed he was number 9. If you’re bold, pair with him.

With time running out, the Black Knight gritted his teeth and initiated pairing: "Tai Sui, let’s pair up."

To his dismay, Gao Xin declined, "No, I am number 9, I only pair with number 1."

The Black Knight exclaimed, "But I am number 1!"

Gao Xin said, "Didn’t you just say you weren’t number 1? Were you just testing me? Sorry, I don’t trust you anymore."

"I am number 9; not pairing still gives me 2 points. And if I mispair with any number except 1, I’ll blow up..."

"With that being the case, why should I risk pairing with you?"

Hearing this, the Black Knight became desperate. The more Gao Xin refused him, the more he seemed to really be number 9.

After all, he had already initiated pairing; there’s no reason a liar would refuse him.

"I really am number 1, I was just talking nonsense earlier! Believe me, Tai Sui, pair with me and we can score 4 points!"

Gao Xin still shook his head: "Too late."

"I told you before, if you’re bold, pair with me. But you didn’t dare, and you said you weren’t number 1."

"Want to pair now? Will you pair?"

The Black Knight was numb as time continued to pass, and the end was drawing near.

If Gao Xin was indeed number 9, then the AI must be number 10.

If Gao Xin declined, he would either pair with the AI and lose 5 points or not pair at all and lose 1 point.

No matter what, he would lose points!

He had already dropped five points, and if he lost points this round, he was done for.

"Don’t be like this; you surely know I am number 1. Now, no one else can be number 1," the Black Knight reasoned passionately.

Gao Xin just shook his head: "Why should I take the risk? After all, I have options."

Fuck... Gao Xin had options; he had none left.

"I... I..."

The most urgent moments sped up the Black Knight’s thoughts.

Just like before, when he saw through Gao Xin’s method of setting questions, he now suddenly realized the plight of negative scorers.

The more in the negative, the less anyone wanted to play with him, making him bear all the negative points until, in the end, everyone would eliminate the negative scorers.

"You...you said before, if I kneel down and beg you, you will pair with me?" The Black Knight suddenly remembered Gao Xin’s words, clinging to them like a lifeline.

Gao Xin frowned: "I did say those words..."

Without hesitation, the Black Knight knelt down; though it was humiliating, he didn’t care.

"Tai Sui bro! Please pair with me!" the Black Knight cried out pleadingly.

This drew the attention of everyone in the hall, who couldn’t help but scoff.

But the Black Knight was thick-skinned—his knees might not be made of gold, but pairing with Gao Xin could be!

"Are you really number 1?" Gao Xin asked.

"Really, truly! I am number 1! Please agree, we have no time left!" the Black Knight started the pairing.

Seeing this, Gao Xin actually stood up and walked to the round table.

Ling Sha saw this. Was Gao Xin really going to pair with the Black Knight? If so... the two combined would be number 7.

Though they wouldn’t gain points, they wouldn’t lose any either.

Since Viper wasn’t pairing with her, his number 4 would become the smallest number.

Thus Ling Sha immediately said, "See, they’re about to pair. Aren’t you going to pair with me? Do you want to lose points? Viper!"

Saying this, Ling Sha slapped the table and initiated pairing with Viper.

Viper turned around instantly and accepted the pairing at the round table.

But, he accepted Gao Xin’s!

"What!"

Ling Sha and the Black Knight shouted in unison.

The Black Knight roared, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Gao Xin simply counted down: "Three... two..."

The Black Knight couldn’t care about anything else; even Gao Xin wasn’t number 9, so the AI had to be!

He immediately initiated pairing with the AI at the last moment, and the AI instantly agreed.

"You!" Ling Sha tried to stop him, even swinging her fist.

But Gao Xin intercepted with his blade, and the clashing of fist against blade emitted a grating sound.

Boom—both of them were knocked back several steps.

Ling Sha’s arm trembled, numb from the electric shock; she touched her neck and felt fresh blood flowing out.

She had just been slashed at the neck, her artery severed.

It was a minor injury, nothing serious, but this clash with Gao Xin startled her. He was as formidable as Swamp Crocodile, she wouldn’t be able to deal with him easily—it might require a desperate fight!

"Results announced..."

The time was up, Raguel’s prompt lit up.

"A7, B2, C4, D5, E3, F1, G9, H6, I8, J10."

As soon as these results appeared, the Black Knight’s eyes nearly burst.

A Steel Axe, B Lin An, C Viper, D Ling Sha, E Rocket Head, F Black Knight, G Swamp Crocodile, H Gao Xin, I Iron Hand, J was AI.

So Gao Xin was number 6, AI was number 10.

"Fuck, you weren’t 6? Playing fucking number 9, were you messing with me?"

Gao Xin calmly said, "Sorry, I read it wrong."

"Only remembered I was number 6 at the end."

The Black Knight was dizzy, his mind exploding.

He also only found out at the last moment that Gao Xin wasn’t number 9, leaving him no time to think. He rashly chose AI.

Thus, he paired with number 10 again and exploded on the spot.

Thus, he became a player with a score of negative 10.

Ling Sha’s expression darkened as well; Gao Xin had stolen Viper, making everyone’s number either 9 or 10.

Her number 5 became the smallest on the field, losing 1 point.

The second negative score player appeared—it was Ling Sha!
