Chapter 337: Chapter 157: Squeeze Out Value

In the hall, it was hard to find a whole person.

Lin An’s heart turned to ashes, his head visibly graying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"He seemed to want to kill himself, don’t let him die just yet, he scores this round," Gao Xin sat cross-legged on the side.

Ling Sha suspended a head in the air, "Don’t worry, with me here, it’s hard for him to die."

Lin An appeared to have lost all desire to live, his eyes dull.

Gao Xin smiled faintly, "Lin An, you’re number 9, right?"

Ling Sha allocated some fat to sustain his life, "One wrong step leads to another."

"Lin An, look at this round. If I pair up with Tai Sui, we make 7, and won’t lose any points."

"What’s your number? Are you really 9? Then the three of us can start the fourth round peacefully, and we can all survive together."

Hearing this, Lin An’s skin visibly reddened again.

He indeed was number 9, meaning even without pairing up, he could get 2 points.

And the other two, together making 7, would at least not lose any points.

That means none of the three would end up with negative points this round, and only he, Lin An, could gain points, easily monopolizing the prize pot.

Then, if Tai Sui wanted to score, he would have to get past him and Ling Sha as a pair.

"Ah Ah Ah..."

It was simply heart-wrenching, though it’s easy to see in hindsight, he really could have chosen not to betray.

"Those 60 points should have been mine... mine..."

Lin An was overwhelmed with regret, "Sis, I realize my mistake, I was blinded, please forgive me."

Gao Xin said indifferently, "You haven’t realized your mistake, you just know you’re about to die."

Lin An’s face flushed, "Shut up! It was you who deliberately instigated this!"

"Sis, he’s faking his death. If it hadn’t been for thinking he was dead and that only one of us could live, why would I have betrayed you?"

Ling Sha, tired and irritated, set his head aside, unwilling to deal with it.

Instead, she said to Gao Xin, "I’ve lost interest in killing him, take these two points."

Gao Xin smiled, "Since you say so, Ling Sha... let me handle him, okay?"

Ling Sha nodded listlessly.

Gao Xin told Lin An, "I won’t kill you; just pair up with that Ran Xing."

At the mention of a chance to survive, Lin An’s pupils shrank instantly.

Pair up with Ran Xing?

Lin An said in a low and hoarse voice, "You want me to explode?"

"Heh, I explode and get negative points, isn’t that a certain death?"

Gao Xin’s voice was full of magnetism, "Not necessarily, Ran Xing is very likely number 1."

"Lin An, I’m not intentionally making you explode, I’m just letting you gamble, you’re going to die anyway, why not take a chance?"

"Get it right, and you could have 4 points..."

Lin An fell silent. Indeed, what did he have left to lose?

The most likely to be number 1 was that Ran Xing.

Exploding would certainly mean death, but if he guessed right, he might survive and even score points.

"Will you really let me live? You just want me to get 4 points and then kill me for a higher gain, right?"

Gao Xin chuckled, "If you don’t gamble, I will definitely kill you. If you gamble, I might spare you. Are you sure you don’t want to try?"

Lin An was conflicted, "How does letting me live and get 4 points benefit you?"

Gao Xin explained, "It’s not about you getting 4 points; I hope there’s no number 9."

"Whether you explode or add up to 10, it allows number 8 to become second tier, number 7 to become third tier."

Ling Sha frowned, "In that case, you and I together make 7, we could each get 1 point."

"What’s the point? You kill him to get 2 points, and if he explodes, the two of us get 1 point each; the profit is the same."

"Unless you let him get 4 points and then kill him, that way your gain would be 5 points."

Lin An’s gaze turned fierce, "I refuse! Tai Sui, you’re deceiving me!"

"You still want to kill me, why should I help you score more points?"

Gao Xin sighed, "Because I want the Easter egg."

"If you die, then Ling Sha and I have to face eight robots, and we can’t kill even one."

Now Lin An was in a desperate situation, making him stay in the room actually benefited the Easter egg.

Because it meant one less robot to deal with.

But Ling Sha still felt it was easier just to kill him, no worries that way.

Ling Sha said, "Do you really still want the Easter egg?"

Gao Xin earnestly replied, "I said, if I can’t get the Easter egg, I’d rather die."

Ling Sha’s mouth curled up, unable to hide a smile, "Good! Very good! I too will never give up on the Easter egg!"

"But there’s no need to spare his life, not having to worry about him is more important."

"After the Black Knight incident, do you dare keep him in the room?"

"We’ll fight the eight! Even if it’s nightmare mode, I’m not afraid, together we can clutch the Easter egg!"

Gao Xin nodded. Alone, he was almost impossible to get the Easter egg.

After all, he was too weak now, facing a group of near-Tiger King level robots without being able to kill them, was virtually an apocalyptic difficulty.

The key issue was not being able to kill them, wearing out against tireless robots for thirty minutes.

How could they, at the end of their rope, possibly outlast that?

Luckily, Ling Sha had reached Elephant Level, so together, they might just clinch the Easter egg.

"Really? If Lin An dies, there won’t be any room for error."

"Not only can the robots not die, the players can’t die either."

Gao Xin’s words clearly meant he really wanted Lin An to survive.

Lin An was overjoyed to hear this, so that was it, this guy was too greedy, he still wanted the Easter egg.

So he wanted to keep him, reducing the difficulty of the Easter egg while adding a margin of safety.

But then Gao Xin said, "But since you think fighting eight isn’t a problem, then let’s fight eight."

"You’re Elephant Level, you call the shots, especially since Lin An doesn’t agree."

Lin An hurriedly said, "Don’t, I agree."
