The light outside was rather chaotic, but it was bright after all. Everyone took a moment to relax under the mottled colored lights. Finally, they remembered to click on the system notifications that popped up one after another.
The game rewards of the immersive shooting experience hall had been sent to everyone. After a rough comparison, it could be found that Ji Xingque had unsurprisingly received the most generous game coins.
Next were Chi Ting and Yue Ren.
The comparison between Song Xuefeng and Hang Jing could be said to be equally bad, but the only difference was that the former was mostly due to being too lazy to shoot while the latter was due to not daring to do it.
This result could be said to be completely expected. The main thing that surprised Chi Ting was the content of the next message.
The message following the settlement of the game coins received by each person was obviously addressed to all members.
Just like the content received after leaving the claw machine area last time, the system this time was also very considerate and sent a warm reminder to all players in the game hall.
[Starry Sky Arcade’s Warm Tip:
The game coin prize pool of the immersive shooting experience hall has been changed. The Dawn team has received 50,000+ game coins, the Hang Jing team has received 500+ game coins, and the remaining game coins in the prize pool are 0.]
[The prize pool of the immersive shooting experience hall has been cleared. The area has ceased operations and is temporarily closed.]
The audience in the live stream room also saw the content of the news through the main camera. The comments were already amazed at Chi Ting’s reasoning process and now it scrolled even faster.
[This is awesome! This is the direct way of emptying the entire game’s prize pool in one go!]
[I’m laughing to death. It is a blessing to meet them in any arcade. It is better if the project is closed directly.]
[Is Ji Xingque so powerful? I thought it was crazy enough to kill all the way through the game, but the rewards are so high?]
[I have a feeling that if I was to participate in this game project, I would’ve been completely defeated long ago.]
[Indeed, let alone such a short period of time, I might not have been able to come up with the correct conclusion even if I was given a day.]
[The key is that not only is he smart, but he is also strong in combat. It is already difficult to deal with those monsters for me.]
[But they’ve really spent a lot of time on this project. Right now, more than one project here has been closed.]
[Huh? Have the prize pools of other projects also been emptied?]
[Tsk tsk, why don’t you go to the live stream room next door to take a look? The Jazz team is already crazy!]
Chi Ting might not be able to see the content of the barrage, but he saw the content of other unread messages.
These messages came from the hour they were in the game. It could be found that before they closed the immersive shooting experience project, several projects had already been declared to be closed before the immersive shooting hall.
At a rough glance, judging from the content of the notifications, these suspended projects were most likely the work of the Jazz team.
“The Jazz team looks very strong.” Yue Ren finished reading all the unread messages at a glance. He looked down with a smile and happened to catch a glimpse of Hang Jing’s unhappy face. This made him slightly raise an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? I remember that you seem to know something about this team. Looking at your experience, it seems that there is something wrong?”
Hang Jing did recognize the Jazz team members at the door, but out of selfishness, he only mentioned them casually and didn’t remind the other players. At this time, Yue Ren noticed something was wrong. Hang Jing spoke up due to their friendship. “It has started… The Jazz team has started again. We had better not stay here and waste too much time. We should hurry up and find a way to earn enough game coins. If we don’t hurry up, we will really be unable to leave once the Jazz team takes all the game coin prize pools.”
“Take all the game coin prize pools?” Chi Ting looked over after hearing this in a slightly puzzled manner. “If it is a team challenge, can’t everyone redeem the pass after they get 30,000 game coins?”
“It is true that 30,000 game coins are enough if you want to clear the instance and leave, but…” Hang Jing smiled dryly. “But if you want to get more achievement rules, according to the rules of this instance, there is no upper limit.”
Chi Ting raised an eyebrow slightly as he understood.
Just as they deliberately chose sufficiently difficult instances to challenge, in addition to clearing the level, the most important thing for teams and players sprinting for the rankings was the achievement points calculated based on the contribution to clearing the instance.
If they just wanted to complete the instance smoothly, 30,000 game coins was indeed enough. But once they reached the level of earning achievement points, the more contributions they made, the better.
He had done a lot of things to gain contribution points in the past, but everything was based on the premise of a win-win situation for everyone. Now, from what Hang Jing meant, it seemed that the Jazz team didn’t care about the lives of the other players at all
Hang Jing seemed to guess what Chi Ting was thinking and shook his head bitterly. “If you know what the Jazz team did in the past during the clearance process, you would know that in order to gain more achievement points, they would even do things to harm other players when necessary, not to mention the excellent opportunity to earn a large amount of contribution points by simply emptying the prize pool. At present, they are the most powerful team among all new teams. They are still continuously impacting the team rankings. In order to obtain the high rewards from the clearance settlement, they never care about whether other players can get enough game coins to leave alive.”
Yue Ren thought back to the scene at the door and understood it instantly. “So you were always anxious to find someone to team up with after you recognized them. It was because you knew they were likely to empty the prize pools, so you wanted to earn enough game coins as soon as possible to exchange for the clearance pass.”
He glanced at Hang Jing with a hint of sarcasm on his face. “You deliberately hid such important information from others to prevent us players from rushing to grab the prize pool, right? It is rare that you have been holding back for so long but now you are willing to remind us. I’m really touched.”
Hang Jing felt his face turn red from the ridicule in the half-smiling remark. He cleared his throat and said quietly, “I just want to give myself a better chance of survival.”
Wanting more chances to survive was nothing new to Chi Ting, who had just emerged from the apocalypse. He didn’t see any problem with this idea.
In comparison, what surprised him even more was that he remembered the captain of the Jazz team, whom he met at the door, looked as warm as jade and a gentleman in his suit. He didn’t expect this person to be such a cold-hearted egoist behind the scenes. He could only sigh that one couldn’t judge a person from their appearance.
Chi Ting thought for a moment before looking at Hang Jing. “Do you still want to thank us?”
Hang Jing was stunned for a moment by the words that came out of nowhere. He nodded hesitantly. “Of course.”
Chi Ting smiled. “Then please do me a small favor.”
“You say, as long as I can do it.”
Chi Ting slowly raised his eyes. His slightly drawn-out tone was calm but had a strange allure to it. “If you meet other players later, please help remind them about the situation of the Jazz team. This way, they can also seize the time to earn some game coins.”
“Huh?” Hang Jing finally digested the meaning of the words, and his expression was filled with a hint of confusion. “…Why?”
This was indeed a small favor that could be done.
But why?
The situation before them was now very clear. The prize pool in this arcade had an upper limit, and the Jazz team was rapidly clearing it. Shouldn’t it be that the slower that other players moved, the greater the chances for them to collect enough game coins?
Such an idea was indeed a bit despicable, but he wasn’t actually harming anyone. It was only reminding someone of the information he already knew. Even if someone really failed to pass the instance in the end, the only one to blame was the Jazz team.
Under normal circumstances, he thought that everyone would be willing to conceal such absolutely beneficial information, right?
However, facing Hang Jing’s doubts, Chi Ting just smiled slightly. “There is no reason.”
Chi Ting was obviously only expressing his expectations. As for whether Hang Jing was really willing to listen to him and convey his wishes, this wasn’t something he could force.
He had always been open about his expectations and was willing to respect other people’s choices, so he didn’t say anything else at this time. He looked around and asked a question very naturally, “What are we going to play next?”
“Is there a project that doesn’t require me to move? I’m a bit tired,” Song Xuefeng asked.
He was able to sit in the claw machine area for a while, but after the overly passionate shooting experience just now, he really didn’t want to take another step if he could just sit down.
“It seems so.” Yue Ren pointed to the sign not far away. “How about driving?”
Looking in the direction he pointed, everyone saw the eye-catching words ‘Death Go-Kart.’
The name of this area didn’t appear in the system messages they just received. Not only was it still operating, but there had been no announcement that anyone had received a large amount of game coins from it. Obviously, there should still be a lot of stock in the prize pool.
Song Xuefeng was naturally very happy as long as he didn’t have to run around any longer, so he nodded without hesitation. “That’s it.”
Ji Xingque had just picked the shooting game. Once he saw someone else making the decision, he naturally had no objections. “I’m fine with anything.”
Due to the aftereffects of the previous game, Hang Jing felt dizzy when he saw the word ‘death.’ He really had PTSD for this type of big game project.
After all, he wasn’t a member of the Dawn team. His two teammates had already died. Next, he only needed to accumulate 30,000 game coins. Thus, he immediately decided to try his luck at the simple and easy-to-operate small games such as the basketball machine. He said goodbye to the four people very tactfully.
Looking at the gradually receding figure, Yue Ren asked with interest, “Do you think he will be willing to help you with this little favor?”
“Yes,” Chi Ting replied very casually before waving his hand. “Let’s go to the next project.”
The group started to walk towards the area of Death Go-Kart. The barrage in the live stream room was still immersed in the conversation just now.
[A good man! As a player who has been following since the first instance, I have to say that this streamer is really a good person!]
[Really, I’m crying to death. Is he really not worried that other players will earn too many game coins, causing them to not have enough to save themselves?]
[Where did such peerless male Bodhisattva come from? When I was in the instance, I encountered nothing but conspiracies and calculations. I have never met a teammate like this.]
[I’m sorry. When he was shooting monsters earlier, I thought he was crazy and cruel. Now I just really hope that I can one day enter the same instance with him!]
[What a joke. Do you really believe it? If his life is really in danger, do you think he will still be a good person? He is just pretending to be a good person.]
[Suddenly, I remember a song. If everyone gives a little love…]
[F*k, I’m singing along!]
[But just after experiencing a large game, they are now going to participate in the go-kart game. Is it really okay when there is the word ‘Death’ attached to it?]
[The last game took so long. The simple games have almost been cleared by the Jazz team. At least the prize pool for the go-kart is still complete. Be content.]
[Speaking of the Jazz team, does anyone know what project they are playing now? I don’t know if they will meet in the future… sh*t, they really met?!]
As the barrage exploded in an instant, the familiar figures that had been seen at the door could be seen in the live stream room.
The people standing in front of the bulletin board apparently heard the noise and looked back.
The man in the middle was still tall in a gentlemanly black suit. His expressionless face was replaced by a gentle and humble smile as he saw the people looking at him. “Ah, it seems we don’t need to find anyone else now.”
Hearing these words, Chi Ting glanced at the contents of the bulletin board, and a hint of understanding appeared on his face.
