Assignments one through five are complete!

Looking at the numbers above their heads, players four and five instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention anything else, according to the rules they had agreed upon earlier, at least their lives were safe.

Moreover, their positions were comfortable. According to what was said before, if more than half the people disagreed, the person making the suggestion would be executed.

So, intuitively, the people in front would definitely take better care of them, even try to appease them, during the assignment.

After all, their positions were at the back, and they wouldn't die. Without any special benefits, they definitely wouldn't agree.

As for numbers two and three, their expressions were a bit grim. Their positions were awkward, facing the pillar of insects in front of them, and the numbers offered them no sense of security.

Especially number two, she was the only woman present. Her complexion was very unpleasant at the moment, and she secretly lamented her bad luck.

But upon seeing that the great Lu Ce had the number "1" above his head, her mood immediately improved a lot, feeling quite balanced.

At this moment, the other four were all looking in Lu Ce's direction, their eyes carrying varying degrees of pity and… schadenfreude.

As expected, offending the organizers in a game like this was not a good choice.

No matter how strong you are, you're still just a player in the game. They are the ones who set the rules. What are you pretending for?

Seeing Lu Ce lowering his head and not speaking, they felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Everyone likes to create gods, but what they like even more than creating gods is watching them fall from grace.

Seeing this person, who was clearly the strongest among everyone, so strong that it affected the game's balance, being arranged into the unluckiest position, they were truly secretly delighted.

Where was the gratitude? Didn't you extort us when you helped chop off legs before!

At this moment, the blue mask on Lu Ce's face was surging with flowing light, not forming any expression. He kept his head down, muttering something to himself.

Everyone quieted down, no one spoke, silently wanting to hear what this great figure had to say.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, fragrant grass stretches to the sky~~"

Everyone:?

What the hell are you singing at a time like this!?

Are you out of your mind!?

Don't try to guess the thoughts of the great ones, but no matter what, it was Lu Ce's turn to make the assignments.

[:It's over, this was rigged.]

[:This is purely being set up, sigh, just keep a low profile, why fight with the organizers.]

[:Let's see how this plays out, being able to keep your life would be a blessing.]

[:Sigh, the nail that sticks out gets hammered, look at the other players' eyes, it's obvious they want him dead.]

[:People should remain humble, sigh...]

The people in the bullet comments were all not optimistic. Only Blank and a few others were frowning, sensing something was wrong.

The game's focus, the gamble, shouldn't be this kind of dead end.

As they calculated, they watched Lu Ce, who was still humming, anticipating his judgment.

Lu Ce himself was also thinking. The first thing he thought of was the effect of his Greed Mask.

It had been displayed at the very beginning of the game, but he had briefly put the description aside.

[Greed Blue (KAITO) Personality Influence: Amplifies greed, becomes talkative and mentally active, cunning and insidious.]

[Benefits: Luck will subtly increase, possessing peculiar effects at critical moments.]

[Description: At the gambling table, the person who wants to win the most will win!]

"Logically, my luck should be quite good. If that's the case..."

"Oh, it seems there's no problem."

After a long silence, Lu Ce finally spoke, smiling and talking to himself. The comical smiling face on the blue mask reappeared once more.

"Alas, it's just a shame about the good bugs, it would be a pity not to use them."

Looking at the "Suffering Points" in front of him, Lu Ce already knew the key to this gamble.

Just as he was about to say more, a voice beside him interrupted him.

"This perfect clear player, I think since we've reached this point, let's not be cryptic anymore. I'll be direct."

"We all acknowledge your strength, but after all, you are the first. You don't need to take this reward."

"Your share is zero. As for the distribution among the four of us, let's discuss it together now."

"This way, although you won't get anything, as long as the distribution is successful, at least you won't be thrown into this cage."

"You were a perfect clear player before, and if you keep the green hills, there will be opportunities in the future."

"What do you say?"

The woman next to him, who looked quite intellectual, spoke up. She seemed very rational, thinking from Lu Ce's perspective.

After all, she was number two. If this number one went crazy and decided to court death, then it would directly fall to her to bear the pressure.

It was better to be proactive. By doing this, she could at least pull Lu Ce's vote and help share the risk.

At this moment, the organizer spoke up once more.

[Everyone, please pay attention to the time. If a round of voting is not completed within five minutes, the door in front of one of you will randomly open slightly~.]

Just then, the organizer's voice rang out again, like a death-dealing judge.

The participating players, hearing his words, felt their hearts sink again.

[Of course, to prevent anyone from dragging out the time, if it's your turn and you intentionally don't provide an allocation policy, the door in front of you will be opened first.]

"What do you think of my proposal? Perfect Clear player, you heard that. We can't delay this any longer."

The second woman began to speak anxiously, trying to urge Lu Ce to follow her lead.

"Stop yelling, don't keep interrupting me!" Lu Ce stopped her, then looked up and asked:

"I'd like to ask, can this 100 allocation have decimals? For example, if I allocate 0.000001 to someone?"

[...No! Allocate using positive integers!]

"Tsk, that's a real shame."

Lu Ce muttered, then raised his head.

"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words."

"My allocation method is as follows:"

The second woman was suddenly startled, thinking to herself, This guy is really going to act out. Can't this kind of thing be discussed?!

The other players also perked up their ears.

"Number five, 1 point."

The man designated as number five was stunned.

"Number three, 1 point."

The player designated as number three suspected they had misheard.

"Number one, which is myself, 98 points."

"Number two and four, 0 points!"

The second woman: ...

As this seemingly insane allocation method was announced, everyone doubted if their ears were working correctly.

The entire livestream chat exploded!

Was he trying to die?!
