Forces of Temptation

All members of "Zhaohui" died.

Their names disappeared from the leaderboard.

And when this change fell into the eyes of other players, the world channel fell into a terrifying silence.

There are not a few people who hate "Zhaohui". When it comes to their "great achievements", many players are even ashamed to regard them as the same kind.

However, the human mind is a rather wonderful thing.

They didn't want "Zhaohui" to win.

Because the viciousness, brutality, and ruthlessness recognized by these five people, once they take the lead, they will only treat people even more.

They also don't want Cube Ark to win.

The most ideal situation, of course, is that "Zhaohui" and "Lifangzhou" will lose both sides in the fight, and let a kind and pure team profit from it and win the championship in one fell swoop.

The victory of justice over evil can be described as a happy event for all ages.

...although that's unlikely.

However, seeing the name of "Zhaohui" disappear so easily, the players will inevitably feel sad.

After all, "Zhaohui" was at least considered human.

The 99-person competition is not over yet, but for most people who can recognize the reality and take no chances, the victory of the "Cubic Ark" has almost become a certainty.

There is actually a non-human being mixed in there.

It is still a non-human being targeted and hunted down by everyone.

When the hunt is over, how will Nan Zhou treat them?

Don't do anything, just keep chasing Nanzhou to the end?

However, just when everyone was tangled in their hearts, something unexpected happened suddenly.

……

In a corner of the "Paper Gold" city, Yi Shuige walked out of the bathroom refreshingly wrapped in steam.

Xie Xiangyu, who had just been tidied up and tucked into the bed by him, got up at some point, frowning and looking at the air, probably looking at the game interface.

A puppet doll was massaging his lower back.

Xie Xiangyu had already suffered a great loss from Yi Shuige, if he even vomited the sweetness that was fed into his mouth, he really would not be able to get anything back.

He simply let the doll serve his waist.

His subtle and awkward side-lying posture made Yi Shuige smile knowingly.

When Xie Xiangyu heard him laughing, he gave him an unusually cruel look.

After a while, he was hesitant to speak again.

He discovered a big thing and was eager to share it with others, but the only one he could share with was Yi Shuige who could breathe.

Xie Xiangyu was depressed for a while, thinking that it wouldn't be bad to see Yi Shuige's appearance of being surprised and breaking his skills.

Just as he was about to speak reluctantly, Yi Shuige asked, "Who is 'Adam'?"

Xie Xiangyu's plan to see Yi Shuige lose his composure failed again, and he was so angry that he pulled the sheets.

……

In the world channel, everyone went crazy.

Everyone is asking, who is "Adam"?

——Who is this team that rose to second on the list in an instant after the death of all members of "Zhaohui", second only to "."

There are many data stream enthusiasts among the players.

However, when they dug out the top [-] list, they were shocked to find that there was no name "Adam" in it.

...It's not even in the top fifty?

Fortunately, someone really worked hard to record all the rankings and updated them every day, so they finally found the origin of "Adam" for everyone.

"Adam", a team consisting of 2 male players, was originally ranked 337th.

It can be called the mid-range of the mid-range, the inconspicuous of the inconspicuous.

No one will pay attention to such a team.

Unless they airborne second-to-last from 337th, as they are now, it is bound to remain forever in obscurity.

It's not just their status as No. [-] airborne that's weird, but also their names.

Tang and Song Dynasties.

Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This unexpected Wang Zang ushered in the world channel, and the chaotic effect caused was even more outstanding than knowing that a professional boss had been mixed in among the players.

"Who? Who is it?!"

"Is this name made up now? Is it a pseudonym? How can there be a name that two people can just connect?"

"How come? We all entered the system with real names, how could there be an exception?"

"Everyone, I did the math and found something."

"Speak quickly??"

"Fuck, what the hell are you trying to do at a time like this!?"

After being scolded by others, those who said they had discovered it stopped being embarrassed, and obediently gave a conclusion:

"The current points of 'Adam' are exactly their original points, plus all the points of 'Zhaohui' before he died!"

"That is to say, all the points of 'Zhaohui' are now added to them!"

This is undoubtedly another uproar.

"Hasty?!"

"Why?! That is to say, 'Zhaohui' worked so hard, but he was actually working for them?"

"Not necessarily, maybe they are non-staff personnel. For example, 'Zhaohui' is the first team, and 'Adam' is the second team. Even if something happens to 'Zhaohui' and dies, the points will be automatically transferred to 'Zhaohui' through some props." Adam's head is also considered to have a bottom line."

"Why haven't I seen such a prop before?!"

"Is 'Adam' here? Say something?"

To everyone's disappointment, "Adam", who received all the points from "Zhaohui", didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

They just quietly hid in a corner, watching the unspeakable chaos.

However, what the players don't know is that this pair of weird names is actually the team that always ranks first in the positive betting ranking in the Chinese server.

——In the eyes of audiences who have an absolute God's perspective, the mediocre team "Adam", which seems to be bland and always swinging in the middle, is the one most likely to win.

In the studio where everything that happened in the live game of "Gravity" was exported, the light flow woven by the information is too dense, and the color is approaching a light blue-gray, occasionally mixed with hesitant loading and overheating and reddish fire. Light, like the tail of a burning comet.

Amongst the confused starlight, the joy of the employees overlapped:

"The ratings have broken through a record high!"

The refreshing feeling of detonating this long-awaited dark thread is indescribable.

If "Zhaohui" can live to see the faces of Tang Song and Yuan Mingqing in "Adam", he will find that these two people are familiar faces.

Tang Song was the dying player who handed [Answer] to them.

Yuan Mingqing was robbed by them of a "unlucky player" in [One-click help from audience outside the venue].

To be precise, "Adam" does not belong to the Earth region server at all.

They are excellent GMs sent out, employees who can execute all orders accurately.

It is also the number one pre-determined by "Gravity".

The director's room shifted most of the shots away from the "Cube Ark" who was talking meaningless gossip, and aimed at the World Channel, which is now frantically swiping the screen and full of fear.

They were also repeatedly replaying a clip of Su Meiying wobbling and fleeing in a hallway.

Similar to the replay of highlights in variety shows.

Sure enough, it got good feedback.

"What's the current situation in the forum?"

"It's so noisy."

"What's the main topic?"

"Ask why Su Meiying died, ask who 'Adam' is, say 'Zhaohui' died so badly and don't want them to take the camera, ask to see 'Cubic Ark'... Except for the last topic, other questions are basically the same. within our calculations."

"Ask who 'Adam' is, it shouldn't be an in-depth audience, right?"

"Yes, looking at the background, his viewing time has not yet reached the 500 universe, and he has invested a lot of money in the role of 'Su Meiying', so he is probably a new fan."

"Seeing my money evaporated bit by bit like this, I'm sure I'm upset. Don't worry about it."

"Yeah, a few advertisers didn't like 'Zhaohui' in the first place. They're too tasteless and really stupid. If it wasn't for that company..."

If it weren't for an important advertiser who liked Su Meiying's face so much, he even asked the game official to give the green light, and gave god-level auxiliary items such as [One-click help to audience outside the venue], which directly broke through the barrier between the two latitudes, and even A dedicated employee gave simple tips according to the strategy, so that they could escape when encountering difficult dungeons. "Zhaohui" might have died long ago.

The death of "Zhaohui" was not because of anything else.

It's just because the advertiser recently had a new investment project and withdrew from the project.

Despite the selfishness of each advertiser, the game planning has achieved the maximum balance between customer needs and game goals.

On the one hand, they responded to the original benefactor's request and generously gave "Zhaohui" extra preferential treatment; Zhaohui" to lure them into taking it.

Facts have proved that Tang and Song did a good job.

After generations of revisions and improvements, the function of [Answer] has long been different from that of the first edition.

It becomes a manipulative prop.

It can expand the desire, and never easy master.

In other words, if it belonged to Tang and Song Dynasties at the beginning, it will always belong to Tang and Song Dynasties. Even if [Answer] is robbed or given as a gift, the owner of the medicine is still Tang and Song Dynasties.

Between them, a secret agreement was concluded, the content of which was known only to one side.

Think about the function explanation of 【Answer】.

——"You guys, do you want your own victory?"

——"Please give your answers."

It's a vicious play on words.

Double entendre.

From "Zhaohui"'s point of view, they got the [Answer], and they are the owner of the [Answer].

The function of [Answer] seems to be that as long as you take them, you can be closer to victory.

[Answer] It is true.

——Their good intentions were stripped from their bodies, and relying on their despicable desires, they have come all the way to their current status.

As for [Answer] the real master "Adam", it also makes sense.

"Adam" can indeed use [Answer] to win their victory effortlessly.

As long as the "Zhaohui" is not extinguished and the desire to win is not dead, they will always be at the forefront, holding the props given to them by the advertiser, but thinking that this is their own luck, fighting for "Adam" along the way, accumulating points.

...until they died and fertilized the apple tree planted by "Adam" with their corpses.

This plan was launched very early, and the smarter viewers have already seen through this layer. Only newcomers will foolishly throw their money at "Zhaohui", which is already decayed, just because of their faces + Mu Qiang. In the abyss gamble.

For "Gravity", the game official is the god who can control everything.

Including this "thousand people pursuit battle" against Nanzhou, it was also because the advertiser's father and the game official reached an agreement on the issue of "I hope Nanzhou will die".

[Brain Invasion] The company hopes that "Cubic Ark" can work for him for a long time.

The game official hopes to keep the number one position of "Adam", so the overgrown branches need to be cut off.

But seeing that "Lifangzhou" is about to win the 99-person competition initiated by "Zhaohui", their wishful thinking is obviously a split.

But what does it matter?

Even if they don't get any benefits, other players will continue to chase and kill Nan Zhou in order to survive.

Even if Nan Zhou is a saint and says that he has no malice and will not pursue it, will other players believe him?

Once doubt arises, it can never be repaired.

Trust between people is inherently so fragile, isn't it?

……

All turmoil outside, all plots, internal decisions, and noises are all isolated from the "Cubic Ark" at this moment.

It was Nanzhou's first time taking antipyretics, and the effect was quite good.

Although he was very concerned about the next story, after a forcible tug-of-war with Yao Li, he couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness.

Before falling asleep, he tugged Jiang Fang's sleeve in dissatisfaction with a sense of reproach, as if he had sensed some kind of his intention.

Jiang Fang remained silent and gently kissed his eyelashes.

The warm touch easily pushed Nan Zhou's consciousness into the deep darkness and tranquility.

His body is strong, but his spirit is always fragile.

...the kind that can be crushed with a single kiss.

Jiang Fang looked sideways at Nan Zhou, who was breathing evenly, and watched his slightly red lips exhale a slight airflow. He kept his eyes away, practiced his control, and forbade himself to kiss him.

After also confirming that Nan Zhou was fast asleep, Li Yinhang looked at Jiang Fang.

She could feel that Jiang Fang purposely told the story long because he was waiting for Nan Zhou's medicine to take effect.

...He deliberately avoided the experience of taking "Answer" in the opening remarks.

She felt that she was probably at least half of Jiang Fang's own person now.

Maybe she could be bolder.

So, she asked: "Brother Fang, you said, 'Answer' has been used on you?"

Jiang Fang glanced at her, looked away, and nodded: "Yeah."

When talking to people other than Nanzhou, his indifference and gentleness are just right, which is both comfortable and impossible to make people dream about.

"It was a vitamin-like pill, it looked ordinary, nothing special," he said.

Hearing what he said, Li Yinhang had the urge to rip his hair to see if there were villains.

Jiang Fang glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and said calmly, "There is no such thing."

Li Yinhang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Aren't you affected by the medicine?"

"Yes. Not much," he said. "I guess it's because I'm taking so little. At least I don't have little people on my head."

Li Yinhang was surprised.

When Jiang Fang saw the villain growing on Wei Chenghua's scalp from a distance, he recognized it at a glance. It was the product of [Answer].

If he didn't have a villain on his head, how would he know...

Just as Li Yinhang was about to ask a question, he saw Jiang Fang staring up at the ceiling, as if he didn't want to talk deeply.

Li Yinhang: "..."

Sensitively, she stopped asking questions and asked, "Why did you take that medicine?"

Would a person with Jiang Fang's personality just eat something of unknown origin?

Jiang Fang was not in a hurry to answer.

In the thinking palace in his mind, a new framework is being methodically built based on his known information.

Countless worker ants carried his fragments of thought, crossed back and forth, and pieced together a piece of the past.

That happened after the PVP module test officially started, and he met with Nan Zhou's team and other surviving players in the game.

In the first PVP game, the players of the two teams looked at each other in blank dismay, somewhat embarrassed.

Humans are capable of empathy.

Combining their own experiences these days, each of them knows how difficult it is for the other to survive.

Therefore, they did not arrange according to the rules of the game and immediately used their weapons to fight to the death. Instead, they reached a temporary cooperation, trying to find a best-of-both-worlds model that can pass the level without killing each other.

[Answer], it is a new item drawn by the leader of another team.

He generously showed Jiang Fang the medicine, and sincerely invited Jiang Fang to try one, and said that everyone in his team had taken it, and there was no problem.

Jiang Fang got the [Answer] and studied it carefully.

But he doesn't intend to take it.

His father, who was good at looking up at the stars, taught him to read poetry, from all over the world, from all over the world.

His mother taught him that medicine is three-point poison.

He has learned to distrust anyone.

With three prongs, Jiang Fang is willing to eat [Answer], that would be hell.

But out of caution, before returning the bottle of medicine to the other party, he secretly hid one.

This is not a difficult task for Jiang Fang who has been in the casino for many years.

Hearing this, Li Yinhang couldn't help being puzzled: "Then why are you..."

Jiang Fang said concisely, "I was drugged."
