Chapter 74: Chapter 23 Plan_3

"Then you can participate in the Radiation Survival Game and have a hundred percent chance of success,"

Everyone pondered, so that’s how it was. They were targeting the radiation room.

Becoming a Radiation wasn’t just about having the gene protector, although that was the most crucial part. The prerequisite was to first be exposed to a massive amount of radiation, causing genetic collapse.

For normal people, it was useless.

Su Lei asked, "Can this medicine be taken out? Won’t it be confiscated?"

Gao Xin gave a faint smile, "Didn’t you see Liu Xu’s team leader take it straight from her?"

"The Redemption Game settles accounts once a month, following a collective responsibility system. In the end, the whole team has to hand in ten thousand."

"That is to say, before settling accounts, in theory, the redemption tickets can be in our account."

Meimei said, "Liu Xu meant it would be in the team leader’s account, right? After everyone participates in the game, the redemption tickets are collected by the team leader, who also keeps the accounts."

"When collection day arrives, if you can’t produce ten thousand, the team leader is doomed! For every hundred short, they have to forfeit a life to fill the gap!"

Gao Xin nodded, "But if the entire team can earn redemption tickets exceeding ten thousand, the remainder can be kept for ourselves."

Meimei said, "Really? What else did you talk about with Liu Xu?"

She remembered that while everyone was corroborating their stories, Gao Xin had pulled Liu Xu aside to arrange something.

Gao Xin said in a low voice, "I just asked her to scout ahead. According to Liu Xu, Brother Qiao’s team kept a few hundred redemption tickets for themselves last month."

"But he didn’t keep them to spend himself. Instead, he used it as collective funds for the team, to save lives when necessary."

"After all, not every month brings good luck. If in any month the team’s performance is not enough, the surplus from before can be used to make up for it."

"Brother Qiao often risks his own life by going into the game to fill in the gaps for the team, saving many lives, which is why the whole team respects him dearly."

Su Lei and the others nodded. It seemed Brother Qiao was indeed a good person. Recalling how individuals like the bald man never spoke ill of Brother Qiao but rather admired him, it was evident.

"So redemption tickets can be kept for ourselves in the Redemption Game, it’s just that we have to hand over too much, and with the collective responsibility, those who earn more have to cover for those who earn less, so basically nothing is left," said Su Lei.

"Maybe it’s a tacit agreement, after all... a horse starved overnight is not fattened..." Meimei stared at Gao Xin, "In that case, we’ve got a lot of room to maneuver."

Gao Xin pursed her lips, "But we might not necessarily be in that team, not all team leaders are as good as Brother Qiao."

"I’ve heard that some teams are miserable, with team leaders abusing their little power, utterly forgetting that everyone is a slave."

Everyone gave a wry smile. It was all too common; such people were far too many.

Luo Yan had understood all along and said indifferently, "If we can’t choose our team, it’s all for nothing."

"So... do you know of a way for us to choose our team?"

Gao Xin nodded at him, "That’s to become the cream of the crop among the new recruits."

"Back then, Brother Qiao was one of the most outstanding individuals among his fellow newcomers."

"After the Japanese sent him to the Redemption Game, he was fought over by team leaders. It was a scramble, and he could choose which team to join by agreeing to go with one."

"The other new recruits weren’t so lucky. Whichever team the Japanese said to throw them into, they were thrown. Usually, it was the team with the fewest members."

Luo Yan asked, "So how do you qualify as an outstanding recruit?"

Gao Xin’s eyes sparkled as he said, "The ones most suited for the Redemption Game are the most outstanding recruits."

"A comprehensive assessment of culture, education, special skills, and physical prowess."

"Of course, there’s also the contribution to your first Redemption Game, which is why I chose to bring out the great ax."

Luo Yan scratched his head. With that criteria, was he practically guaranteed a spot?

After all, when the Viper heard that he had graduated from a technical school, he refused to let him become Oiran and pushed him into the Redemption Game instead.

Whether he was the best was hard to say, but his entrance into the Redemption Game was certain.

Luo Yan asked, "Hmm, are you confident about it? What’s your education level?"

Gao Xin gave a slight smile, "I don’t have education, but I do have special skills..."

He took out three bottles of unopened purified water from the beverages Su Lei had brought and placed them in a row.

"Pick one, then mix up the order any way you like, and I’ll identify it."

Luo Yan pointed to one bottle, and Gao Xin stared at it for a while before turning his back.

There was some shuffling from behind before Gao Xin turned around again.

With just a glance, Gao Xin pointed at one and said, "This one."

Luo Yan, Su Lei, and the others were all stunned. They had even deliberately wiped the bottles clean, unsure how Gao Xin had guessed right.

"Let’s try again," Luo Yan said.

Once again Gao Xin turned his back, and soon after turning around, he quickly identified the bottle.

After several repeats, everyone was convinced.

"No, how do you know? Is there any difference between these three bottles?" Luo Yan exclaimed.

Gao Xin laughed, "It’s no use wiping the bottles clean because the water is different."

"Huh?" They examined closely but couldn’t see any difference in the water—it looked like plain water.

"Although it’s purified water, it still contains extremely minute impurities, which act like each bottle’s unique signature. You might not notice these details, but I can identify them," Gao Xin said earnestly.

Luo Yan stroked his chin, "So you’ve enhanced your visual identification abilities... any more? "

Gao Xin smiled, "I can also do auditory identification. Actually, I didn’t need to turn around just now; I knew where you placed that bottle."

"Additionally, my memory is not bad, and I hope to learn a lot from you in the future."

Luo Yan grinned, "Sure thing, sure thing, I’ll share all my knowledge."
