Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Make a Choice (Please favorite, recommend, and comment)

Li Changhe’s words clearly spoke the minds of the [Players] behind him.

Letting their friends and family get cursed for your sake? Handing over their own weaknesses to you as leverage?

Are you kidding me?

For the [Task Completion]? Don’t talk about high morals; which [Player] hasn’t experienced several tasks? How can they not see through such petty tricks?

Are they not trying to threaten with the lives of their friends, so others can risk their lives for them?

No one will agree to that.

Li Changhe’s original plan was to lure them out. He Feng and Mr. Bai could provide support at any time, and if necessary, they could borrow Xiao Nan’s strength.

Even if there were five [Players] on the other side, it wouldn’t be too dangerous, as the effect of the [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] in a chaotic battle was perfect.

If they still insisted on not letting go, Li Changhe wouldn’t mind reducing the number of students at Yanyun Middle School either.

In that case, the most likely outcome would be a direct fight. After all, the other party already knew Li Changhe’s [Player] identity, and if it were spread through the [forum] or something similar, Li Changhe wouldn’t survive long.

So, they couldn’t hold back; they had to eliminate all threats.

Unfortunately, this incident was too bizarre, affecting all the [Players] in the area. Now there were more than ten [Players] present.

Exposing Xiao Nan’s identity as a [Special Ability Holder] at this point would very likely result in being surrounded and attacked by everyone.

The allure of a [Special Ability] was too great for the [Players].

By then, even if Li Changhe and He Feng exposed their [Player] identities and teamed up with the [Great Wall] at the foot of the mountain, they wouldn’t be able to hold out until they rendezvoused with their team.

Xiao Nan’s identity couldn’t be revealed, and Li Changhe’s side had lost a significant portion of their strength.

Starting a conflict with a [Player Group] now was clearly not rational.

Yet allowing their friends to be affected by the curse was also unacceptable.

Tie Xiong’s response to Li Changhe’s words didn’t surprise him.

If they were in a dominant position, maybe they could really do that.

However, although they were all cautious of each other, if Tie Xiong’s group dared to make a move, the other side would definitely unite against them. Everyone understood the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

On the surface, both sides had about five people each, not including hidden [Players] lurking around.

If a fight broke out, the casualties would be severe.

At this point, internal friction among [Players] was too dangerous with the [Task] possibly being triggered at any moment.

"What do you guys have in mind then?" Tie Xiong whispered, "Are you planning to fight each one for themselves?"

"There’s nothing wrong with fighting for oneself," Li Changhe responded, "It’s much better than being threatened and coerced."

Tie Xiong looked to Pan Ke, "Is Mr. All-known thinking the same thing?"

"Don’t drag me into this. I have enough ability to protect myself. I’ll just follow the majority. Besides, you won’t trust me either. Hahaha." Pan Ke obviously didn’t want to get involved.

Tie Xiong’s group couldn’t restrain him in any way. Friends? They hadn’t heard of him having any particularly close relationships. Strength? It could only be described as unfathomable. If Pan Ke said he wanted to join them, they wouldn’t even dare accept him.

"How can I be sure that you won’t attack us during the [Task]? Don’t tell me it’s impossible. As [Players], who can trust each other too much? We will never feel at ease without belonging to the same group." Tie Xiong glanced at Li Changhe and the others, speaking calmly, "Moreover, in this state of mutual suspicion, how can you protect your friends? For example... Li Changhe."

"Can you protect Xiao Nan during the task? It’s very likely that this [Task] will be special. There’s a possibility it will affect ordinary people." Tie Xiong cared quite a bit about Li Changhe; they were both athletes, and he used to be the captain of the school team, so they had some relationship. It was only after Tie Xiong was injured during training that they lost contact.

Considering the faint sense of danger coming from Li Changhe and the determination that his strength was definitely not weak, Tie Xiong would rather try to pull Li Changhe into their group compared to others.

He tried to persuade him, "We once fought together at the sports meet. What’s wrong with cooperating again this time? Now that you’ve become a [Player] and have a beautiful girlfriend, can you bear to let her face danger? Let us cooperate. I swear I will lift her curse afterwards. I’ll even try to help her become a [Player] herself. That’s my promise to you as a former captain."

Upon hearing this, many of the [Players] present showed subtle expressions on their faces.

This was a rare offer with generous terms. If Xiao Nan weren’t a [Player], Li Changhe might have really been tempted.

But Xiao Nan was not only a [Player], she was estimated to be a stronger [Player] than anyone present.

Furthermore, Tie Xiong’s words couldn’t be entirely trusted. If he was truly an honorable person, why would he use such means to bind teammates? Handing Xiao Nan over to them? No way!

Li Changhe didn’t respond to Tie Xiong’s invitation but looked back at those few [Players].

They didn’t express their positions, likely still weighing their options.

Pan Ke remained silent, seemingly watching the drama unfold.

"There’s no need. Let’s fight on our own. I haven’t experienced many [Tasks], but I believe in my own strength. If worse comes to worst, during this [Task], you can assign me a more dangerous position. As long as we complete the [Task] peacefully, we won’t interfere with each other." Li Changhe gave his answer. It was too irrational to start a conflict with Tie Xiong now.

It’s better to enter the [Task] first, with He Feng and Xiao Nan by his side. The three of them together were strong enough to ensure their own safety.

"Sigh..." Tie Xiong sighed, whispering, "That’s... such a pity..."

As his words fell, a member of the [Player Group] behind him threw out a black cloth with strange patterns on it and stabbed it into the ground with a wooden spear.

The instant the wooden spear hit the ground, all the surrounding sounds disappeared. Li Changhe and the others were not the only [Players] on the mountain path. Many passersby and students also planned to visit Jiushan Temple.

Li Changhe and Tie Xiong were just in the bushes at the fork on the mountain path halfway up the mountain. To the passersby, they were just a group of people chatting together. Nothing special.

As the wooden spear was inserted into the ground, the passersby’s voices vanished. They seemed unable to see Li Changhe and the others, walking straight past them on the mountain path without glancing at the group.

The [Players]’ expressions changed as they naturally knew what kind of effect this was!

[Spatial Disruption Array]!

The [Player Group] actually had this thing? What did they plan to do with it now? Were they going to play hardball?

Tie Xiong shook his head regretfully, saying, "Li Changhe, I thought you would understand... I really wanted you to join us. Because I know you, like me, came from the bottom rung of society. Without the [Evolution Game], what could you have achieved? Money? Status? Or Xiao Nan by your side? All of this was given to you by your [Player] status. You should know better than anyone, and cherish everything even more. You could have gained so much more by joining us. I’ll ask you one more time. Will you cooperate?"

"If we don’t cooperate, are you going to attack us?"

"Not all of you, just you!" Tie Xiong said darkly, "Mr. All-known said you’re very strong. I can’t let a powerful [Player] like you go uncontrolled. Your choice is either to join or die!"

"Besides, we’re all of the same kind. You must have planned to lure us out and kill us, right?" Tie Xiong’s hands flashed, pulling out a huge double-handed axe, "In that case, it’s better to eliminate this danger sooner rather than later!"

"Make your choice!"
