"Holy crap! Holy crap! No, are they still talking smack at a time like this? The wise man knows when to quit."

"I'm wondering, is there a possibility that this guy is actually a masochist, really wanting to get into that bug jar and experience it?"

"Stop talking, I'm going to puke."

"The organizers have clearly made it their goal to screw you over, and you're still here refusing to cooperate. This is pure suicide."

"This isn't smack talk or negotiation anymore."

"I said it long ago, this guy isn't some big shot. He must have just gotten through the initial stages by being a pervert with his brain to achieve a perfect clear."

"Letting someone like this become a big shot is the dereliction of duty for this Chosen Paradise."

For a time, various voices rose to the heavens, people desperately wanting to distance themselves, telling themselves that the person before them wasn't worth their admiration, that they had simply misjudged him.

The moment a god falls from their pedestal, the clamor will be far greater than when they ascended.

"Is the allocation method confirmed?"

A mechanical voice echoed from the sky. It seemed the organizers were also shocked by Lu Ce's statement.

"Confirmed."

"Modification after confirmation will incur relevant costs."

"Confirmed!"

After two confirmations, a somewhat blurry number reappeared above everyone's heads. It was the number Lu Ce had allocated.

The lights dimmed.

Bang!

After a sound of a light being switched off, a red light flashed. With Lu Ce having already finalized the allocation method, almost immediately, the two women pressed the reject button in front of them.

Without the slightest hesitation.

With a cold expression, she turned to look at Lu Ce and said:

"Number One, since you insist on seeking death, don't blame us."

"Those who can't discern the situation, no matter how strong their Strength, will ultimately face the fate of Death."

"It's over. If you really want to enter that place full of bugs, then your wish is granted."

Her icy voice rang out. With the game rules backing her, she no longer had any fear, openly unleashing a barrage of words at Lu Ce.

Lu Ce merely chuckled twice and turned to look at the woman.

The woman, at this moment, showed no fear either. She stared intently at the blue mask, at the man who had brought her so much terror.

Soon, this devil-like man would die by her hand!

A vague thought crossed her mind, bringing with it an unusual sense of accomplishment and pleasure. When she pressed the button, the power to judge others at will made her a little intoxicated.

But looking at the woman's face, the smile on Lu Ce's mask never changed.

"Within this game, there are only two women in total."

"Compared to that woman, you are slightly better."

Listening to Lu Ce's words, a cold sweat involuntarily appeared on Two's forehead.

She clearly remembered the woman who had furiously cursed Lu Ce (Number One) in the lava Hell before.

Now, that woman wasn't here... what had happened was self-evident.

"However, she died due to foolishness."

"As for you, while not as foolish, you can hardly be called smart. You're also a bit too self-righteous."

Two stared at Lu Ce, her eyes full of defiance. In the end, she even let out a slightly contemptuous laugh.

"You're facing death, and you still care about your pride as a master. Is that meaningful?"

Then, she turned her head and looked at the other players, saying:

"Everyone, let's not waste time. Press the red button in front of you to reject it."

"Consider it revenge for our broken legs and the extortion."

It had to be said, there were only a few ways to incite hatred, and Two's words made it all too clear. Lu Ce almost burst out laughing.

Clearly, it was the difficulty of this Hell game that forced everyone to either break their legs or die. Yet, in this woman's mouth, he had become the enemy who broke their legs?

Two didn't care about that. This wasn't the time for reasoning. The key was to smear Lu Ce first and build rapport with everyone as much as possible.

"Four, both of us received nothing in his allocation plan, only 0!"

"Given your low ranking, you were never in any danger. This 0 benefit is clearly unacceptable."

"As for Three and Five, the fact that you were only allocated 1 point doesn't seem like an attempt to win you over, but rather more like an insult."

"Let's reject it together! I can guarantee that in my subsequent allocation plan, I will ensure that you two receive far more than this meager amount!"

In just a few sentences, Two was dedicated to dividing everyone, pushing Lu Ce to the opposite side of everyone.

Ding!

With another sound, the options before Four turned red.

In such a short time, it seemed Lu Ce had already reached the edge of the cliff.

But Lu Ce, at this moment, was still humming a tune.

"The evening breeze brushes the willow, the flute song fades, the sun sets beyond the mountains~~~"

Two ignored him. The flames of ambition flickered in her eyes. Today was her first time participating in the Chosen Game.

She wanted to be the one to end this guy who had perfect clears in the past!

"Three, Five, stop hesitating and make your decision."

"I said, when I make my decision later, the worst-case scenario is an equal split. You'll definitely get better benefits."

From beginning to end, it was almost Two's solo act, as if she had become the protagonist in this second game.

Just then, Lu Ce finally spoke:

"You said that if you distribute, the worst outcome is an equal split."

"Then why can't they three vote you out later? Once you're dead, the three of them can split it, which is more, isn't it?"

"What role do you play in this?"

Two: !!

Two was stunned by his words, completely speechless. She stammered, "I... Don't be swayed by him. I just said that's the minimum scenario."

"And no matter what, my distribution method is much better for everyone than yours!"

Lu Ce let out a cold laugh, not responding to her at all. He continued, "By extension, if it's an equal split, why should Four and Five tolerate Three? If they vote Three out too, won't the money they can split be even more?"

"But by then, Five, will you still get any money?"

"Karma is intertwined. Cause is the head of effect, effect is the tail of cause."

"If the people ahead die, you need to think about how it will affect you when your turn comes. Sometimes, you need to work backward when doing things."

"You're right, this game is indeed a game of luck, and I happen to be the luckiest among you."

"Three, Five, you can only accept my distribution."

"Believe it or not, if Four were to distribute, your benefits would be 0!"
