Chapter 61: Chapter 21 Audience and Settlement Rewards

Gao Xin was the last one standing on the field.

He was still wearing a cat collar.

At Meimei’s words, many people were stunned, and their gazes toward Gao Xin changed in an instant.

Gao Xin was still laughing madly, while his eyes swept over the people on the field one by one.

Some avoided his gaze, some looked at him with eyes filled with fear, and some were full of ingratiating looks.

In that moment, Gao Xin, while laughing absurdly, fell into painful memories.

"Chongguang, never forget what I’ve taught you..."

"Old man, you haven’t taught me anything!"

"I have taught you the most important human emotions, Chongguang. For a Dark Logicist, that is enough... Beyond that, I can’t teach you anything else... You have to figure it out yourself, think hard."

"What am I supposed to think about! I can’t figure it out! What is Dark Logic? Is it the logic of darkness? What do you really want me to become?"

"I’m sorry, I don’t know either. If I could think of it, it wouldn’t be Dark Logic... I’m sorry, old dad was so selfish to have you try these... If... If you’re really in pain, then learn to be an ordinary person. That... was also your mother’s last wish."

"Old man, don’t you die!"

"I’m sorry, I failed your mother, Chongguang... No matter if you succeed or what you become... Always remember, you’re human first... first a human..."

Gao Xin’s mind was in extreme chaos, his heart burdened with pain, sadness, collapse, helplessness... a mix of emotions piled up inside.

Ordinary people... Dad, is there a way for ordinary people to survive here?

Since arriving on this island, he had never encountered anything good.

"Pfft!"

Gao Xin gently swung the towering axe, and like a Weeble, with one chop, he beheaded the bald man.

With his eyes numb, he dealt with the bald man, and everyone else tensed up inside.

Su Lei blurted out, "Yeah, bro killed Silver Hand, that’s a hundred points, plus the bald guy, that’s two hundred points."

Meimei said, "Plus the two Radiation in the storage room, the bearded one is a dog without reward, but the short one is a rat, which makes it three hundred points."

Su Lei added, "Together with the survival bonus, that is four hundred points in total."

Meimei suddenly turned to the others, "No matter how much reward there is, it has to be paid as tribute to the Japanese."

"But if we conceal the process of the game, claiming all the survival bonuses were taken by the strong in the game... we could use up all the sin-redemption tickets we’ve earned ahead of time."

"However, this requires enough unity among the survivors to collude, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. If the Japanese find out, there’ll be trouble."

Liu Xu was startled and said hastily, "Gao Xin, you can rest assured, others can’t check our game process. As long as we all say the same thing, there will definitely be no problems."

"Glass people participating in low-level games and getting over a hundred sin-redemption tickets in a single round is something the Yakuzas wouldn’t even think of, it’s too rare!"

"I heard from Brother Qiao in the Redemption Squad that glass people are cannon fodder in the squad; surviving is good enough, as for the redemption tickets, whatever you can take with you is a bonus."

"Gao Xin, if you feel it’s not safe, then just give up a hundred points. If the Japanese get a hundred points, they definitely won’t ask you about the game content."

Meimei then suggested, "If you killed those five, brother, you could get an additional five hundred points in reward."

For a moment, people like Liu Xu turned pale.

However, Gao Xin stopped laughing and regained his composure, countering Meimei, "If that is the case, then why don’t I just kill you and Su Lei too? That way I could get seven hundred more points."

"Ah?" Meimei was stunned, afraid she said, "Brother, I’m on your side. You need someone to collude with you to hide the real point gain in the game, and I won’t betray you, neither will Su Lei."

Gao Xin placed his hand on Meimei’s head, "I know, but it’s not just you and Su Lei; actually, everyone here would help me conceal it."

"After all, telling Sasaki does them no good, only harm."

"If I don’t trust these five and choose to kill them, then I shouldn’t trust you either. Why not just kill everyone?"

Everyone let out a sigh of relief; it turned out Gao Xin did not plan to kill them.

Liu Xu quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, we’re also on your side. Without you, we would all be wiped out."

"The Japanese will exploit all of our rewards; we definitely can’t tell them. We’ll say that to survive, the sin-redemption tickets were taken by the strong in the game."

"This kind of thing is not uncommon. If we say that, everyone can still keep a hundred points as a survival reward. Our interests are tied together."

Gao Xin nodded, "Exactly, even if there’s a betrayal, unless the Japanese offer a substantial reward, but how likely is that? In the eyes of the Japanese, you are all just livestock."

"Rather than that, stand with me. We are all in the same boat, and in the future, we can look out for each other."

Everyone agreed, expressing their gratitude for Gao Xin leading them to survive, indicating that they would follow him from now on.

Meimei pursed her lips and said, "Brother, are you really such a good person? To give up the sin-redemption tickets that you could have easily obtained?"

Gao Xin chuckled, "How could I give up?"

"I’ll tell you all the truth, no matter what, I don’t want to be someone else’s slave here, living like an animal. I must escape, and you don’t want to die here after endless suffering, do you?"

The crowd was taken aback at first, then nodded in agreement.

They hadn’t expected Gao Xin to be so bold as to speak openly about escaping.

But did they want to escape? Of course, they did, but the hope was too faint.
