Forces of Temptation

When Nan Zhou's feet set foot on the ground of the "Colosseum" again, all the wounds on his body healed on their own.

Even the tattered suit windbreaker and the blood stains on it were repaired together.

Changfeng lifted the hem of the clothes, washing away the fishy smell attached.

[——Champion team "Cubic Ark", reward points 44444 points! 】

[Congratulations to the "Cubic Ark" team for surviving the 99-player competition and achieving the achievement "Legend of Immortality". Each reward point is 10000 points! 】

[Congratulations to the "Cubic Ark" team for picking up S-level props "In? Look at the future?" Magnetic King", "Memory Modifier (1 minute time limit)", A-level props "jumping teleportation mirror", "guard shield", "missing person notice", B-level props "Assassin's self-cultivation", "Yunnan X medicine necessary for home"... ...]

[Congratulations to the "Cubic Ark" team for obtaining two personal binding skills, B-level "Children of the Weather" and B-level "Nightingale's Proverbs". 】

The sound of jingling rewards can be heard endlessly.

That was the most satisfying harvest sound, like gold coins slopping into a pocket, just listening to it made people feel refreshed.

And the issuance of point rewards also caused a strong visual stimulation for everyone——

After experiencing the difficult dungeon [Brain Invasion], the team of "Cubic Ark" was originally ranked 72nd.

They seem to be stepping on steps, stepping on the code names one by one, step by step, walking up.

66th place.

50th place.

37 people.

12 people.

The number of players in the game, probably around the time they came out of the copy of [Full Moon Fear], stopped increasing.

Because the flow of time inside and outside the game is completely different, Nanzhou and the others are considered to have entered the game in the late stage.

The day when Li Yinhang got on the fatal bus and joined the game was the fifth day after the disappearance broke out.

Calculated according to the proportion of time, in fact, that was also the last day for "Gravity" to arrest players from outside.

Those who come in early, to put it bluntly, have eaten up the bonus.

For example, "Zhaohui" took the lead in using the lives of newcomers as a stepping stone for himself when there were the most newcomers and the most confused.

Another example is Qu Jinsha, who carefully planned and built a "paper gold" Douzhuan casino for people to escape from pleasure.

More people got the land reclamation rewards in the new game.

The first to complete the PVP/PVE dungeon, the first to achieve more than 95% exploration, the first to survive, the first to kill the opponent... all have generous rewards.

When Nanzhou and the others came in, what they could dig and achieve were the easter eggs in the wishing pool, the "gold coins of Lady Luck".

The rewards they received are probably far inferior to "Zhaohui" who won the 99ers for the first time.

Especially compared to Wei Chenghua's golden chain, their two B-level auxiliary skills are simply not enough.

But this is also an extremely generous reward.

It's just that when thinking about what these rewards were exchanged for, it's impossible for anyone with a little bit of a heart to be overjoyed.

Li Yinhang bowed his head and remained silent.

Although Jiang Fang was cold and indifferent, he would not be shaken by the necessary sacrifice, but because he had enough brains, he was willing to politely keep silent.

Nanzhou did not express any form of condolences to those who died.

He asked on World Channel: "Who is coming?"

No one answered.

Nan Zhou seemed to be standing in the center of the silent world.

He calmly asked again: "Who will come?"

It was still silent.

If "Zhaohui" hadn't suddenly launched the 99-man competition, if the result of this competition hadn't been too shocking, everyone might not have been so disheartened.

In fact, no one has the confidence to pass the 99-player match without dying.

Relying on its strength, "Cubic Ark" gives everyone a big drink, and comes with a bucket of cold water.

Coupled with the "Adam" who suddenly inserted a bar horizontally, it disrupted everyone's thinking.

But there are still players who are not reconciled.

Is it just letting go and letting Nan Zhou win?Want to give up nearly [-] points to Nanzhou?

As an attacking boss, Nanzhou can still stand on the same front as humans after being targeted in this way?

How will they live the next day?

Is it necessary to continue to meet Nanzhou's revenge?

It stands to reason that they have already reached this point, no matter what, Nan Zhou should be killed here today to avoid future troubles.

but……

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Nanzhou didn't talk nonsense, and directly entered the automatic matching mode of the single match.

——A new day has begun, and you can play ten more single-player matches.

The players immediately noticed something was wrong.

All the players who were waiting to be paired online made a unified action:

Like the tide, they collectively withdrew from the arena, leaving a vacuum to Nanzhou.

The scene is spectacular and, at the same time, humiliating.

Being driven here and there without dignity like this, some players finally broke out.

[Flying Bear-Fan Ji] So many people have died because of you, don't you think it's enough?Still want to fight?Still want to kill?

[Zhai Ri-Quan Rui Si] Yes, they have already taken so many benefits, so they must kill us all?

Seeing such remarks, Li Yinhang immediately exploded with anger.

Who is chasing whom?Who killed who? !

Has Nan Zhou ever hurt anyone?

Even for the sake of points, he tried his best to protect the people in the dungeon he met.

He didn't kill anyone who wanted to kill him.

If you can't beat it now, start to sell miserably?

The subtext is, why don't you just stand there and kill me.

Why?

Fortunately, although most people are upset, their brains are still normal.

Even if those two questions were issued from a human standpoint, other people would feel unreasonable and guilty.

Therefore, there were very few responders, leaving these two people hanging there.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Nan Zhou tilted his head, but he didn't look angry.

He responded on World Channel.

[Lifangzhou-Nanzhou] Your words are very unreasonable.

[Cubic Ark - Nanzhou] We did not initiate the 99-person race, so those people did not "die" because of us, but were killed by me.

[Cubic Ark-South Ark] Also, they are not dead.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this sophistry.

In a short while, the channel that had just fallen silent was bombarded again.

"Stop quibbling!"

"That's right, show some face!"

"The rules of the game are there. They are not dead. How did you get out? Why are you pretending to be innocent?"

Nan Zhou watched and waited sentence by sentence, until there was no sound of accusations in the channel for half a minute, and then he slowly typed a line of words.

【Cubic Ark-South Ark】They just stayed there temporarily.I promised to bring them back.

The questioner seemed to have a rag stuffed in his mouth.

No one expected that Nanzhou would give such an answer.

After a long silence, someone asked again: "What are you going to use to bring them back?"

Nanzhou replied frankly: "The points for this pursuit battle. This will bring us closer to victory."

Everyone: "..." Good guy.

They were speechless.

Because Nanzhou stepped directly onto the moral high ground.

Nan Zhou sent out a soul torture to everyone: "So, do you still want to kill me?"

The hot blood above was poured cold, and the other people who were beaten finally had a plan to have a good conversation with Nan Zhou.

Someone asked: "How can you prove that you will save them if you win? Believe you, we might as well believe in 'Adam'."

Nan Zhou affirmed: "Then you are fools."

"..."

What Nan Zhou said was actually correct.

"Adam" became the second on the list. If he is trustworthy or has enough responsibility, he should stand up and express his opinion immediately, even if it is to give everyone a reassurance.

They didn't.

However, even if they want to come out and raise their arms, everyone will not trust them easily.

"Zhaohui", who was ranked second before, everyone knows their bad deeds of entrapping newcomers.

The "Adam" who hooked up with them was either a reserve team that could sympathize with an omnipotent villain like "Zhaohui", or a blood-sucking leech that used "Zhaohui" to silently attach to them.

Some people still questioned: "We can't trust 'Adam', why must we trust you?"

Nan Zhou said calmly, "Because we have Li Yinhang."

Li Yinhang was suddenly named by Mr. Nan in public, and he was at a loss for a while.

Seeing this answer, other people in the world channel came up with the same idea.

Naturally, someone asked everyone's confusion: "...Who is Li Yinhang?"

Isn't she just an ordinary human woman with her elbow turned outward?

Is there some unknown ability?

Or, is she actually a non-human?

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Nanzhou said frankly: "She is my teammate. She is an ordinary human who is willing to make a wish to save everyone."

Li Yinhang's cheeks immediately turned red.

It's not just because of the atmosphere that seems to be called by the principal to perform at a school-wide celebration.

It was also because she realized that Nan Zhou was protecting her.

He emphasized to everyone that she was very important, and she might even be the only conscience in the team.

Jiang Fang, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing and said, "Obviously there is me."

After all, he's a human being.

Nan Zhou looked at Jiang Fang and broke his heart with one sentence: "You are different. You don't want to revive them."

Jiang Fang shrugged and did not deny it.

He always had a smile on his face, but unfortunately, he didn't care whether these people were resurrected or not.

He smiled and asked, "Does Teacher Nan know what I want?"

Nan Zhou affirmed: "You only want me."

Jiang Fang: "..."

After carefully watching Jiang Fang's smiling mouth and reddish earlobes, Nan Zhou continued to look at the world channel full of doubts.

One of them had the most favorable view.

[Feiyan-Shi Gaohan] The rules of the game say that you are an invading monster. Do I believe you or the rules?

[Feiyan-Shi Gaohan] Compared with the rules, why should we trust your guarantee?

Nanzhou humbly asked: "So this "Gravity" game, isn't it an 'invading monster'?"

"You are used to it eating people, so it doesn't count as cannibalism?"

"All along, have you forgotten whether you are playing games or being played by games?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was at a loss for words.

Nan Zhou asked each sentence without any special emotion, but it rang a bell in everyone's mind, shaking their eardrums to buzz.

...Perhaps, they really stayed in the game for too long.

It's been so long that I have forgotten that "Gravity" is the monster itself.

Facing the silent world channel, Nanzhou calmly said: "I have also remembered this point. When Yinhang makes a wish, all your memories will be erased."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to live in reality any longer."

These words wiped out what little fighting spirit everyone had left.

Could they really trust him?

Is this the way to let him win the pursuit?

If you don't believe him, should you continue to create more unnecessary deaths, or continue to pack and deliver props yourself?

……

At the same time, all the staff in the studio were dumbfounded.

...Why is there such a harmonious dialogue?

Even if it takes [-] steps back, in an ideal situation, Nanzhou can really win this competition, and the other players will be completely torn apart because of this dispute.

The pursuit of Nanzhou will never stop.

This will add countless highlights to the follow-up, and it will also make the unexpected out-of-control team of "Cubic Ark" fall into the desperate situation preset by the program group, isolated and helpless, until destroyed.

However, the truth is——

"Is anyone else coming?" Nan Zhou asked, "If not, I'm leaving."

He waited for about 10 minutes, but no new match came.

Nanzhou closed the operation interface: "Let's go."

Jiang Fang had already eased off the blushing, and nodded gently.

Li Yinhang felt a little uneasy about the world outside the "Colosseum": "Is it possible?"

Obviously, the time for the pursuit battle is not over yet...

Nan Zhou: "Yes."

Jiang Fang automatically added a detailed comment to his "um": "The 99ers have beaten them sober."

Nanzhou had said so many things, but there was actually only one reason to defeat those pursuers.

——Nan Zhou didn't really do anything before.

Now, the fact that more than 90 people have died has scared them out of their guts.

That's why they were willing to calm down and listen to Nan Zhou's words.

It's just Mu Qiang in his bones.

Li Yinhang was a little upset: "Those people were not all killed by Mr. Nan."

Jiang Fang shrugged: "I'm afraid they don't think so."

Seeing Nan Zhou pursing his lips and standing quietly, Li Yinhang asked Nan Zhou cautiously: "Teacher Nan, are you not angry?"

Objectively speaking, Nanzhou and them do not belong to the same race.

Being chased and killed by another race like this, the clay figurine must also have a third of fire.

Nan Zhou said calmly, "I'm very angry."

...With all due respect to Li Yinhang's blunt words, I can't see it at all.

In fact, Li Yinhang always felt that Nanzhou was very strange.

It stands to reason that he did not grow up in a normal environment.

When he was growing up, he was surrounded by monsters and NPCs programmed by the author.

Nan Zhou before he was an adult had never met a real person at all.

And after he matured, as a boss who naturally confronted the players, the people he met seldom had any kindness towards him.

In the dungeon, even if his teammates were treated as points to protect them, Li Yinhang felt that Nanzhou didn't hate "people".

Compared with his experience, this is simply an incredible thing.

When Li Yinhang asked her doubts, Nan Zhou, who walked towards the exit of the "Colosseum" together with her, pondered for a while.

He replied, "Because...it's the right thing to do."

Li Yinhang imitated his tone and asked: "Why?"

Nan Zhou's answer was inconsistent: "Because he would laugh at me."

It took Li Yinhang some thought to understand what he meant.

——Because there is a "he" who will smile at him, so Nanzhou doesn't hate humans.

She suddenly exploded with curiosity: "Who is 'he'?"

Nan Zhou recalled it for a while, and replied, "I don't remember."

Li Yinhang took two steps down, gossiping silently to Jiang Fang: Wow.

Jiang Fang put his hands on his chest, trying to push his restless heart back to its original place.

Unfortunately, repeated battles and repeated defeats.

Nanzhou took a step forward and stepped out of the gate of the "Colosseum".

On the "Colosseum", many players who wanted to get rid of Nanzhou before were gathered at this moment.

Among them, he spoke harshly to Nan Zhou, saying that he and himself must have seen blood.

They were hesitant, and they hadn't had time to evacuate. Seeing Nan Zhou really swaggering out of the "Colosseum", they were embarrassed on the spot.

Before entering the "Colosseum", everyone chased Nanzhou and ran all over the map, full of ambition, thinking that this was really their own ability.

Facts have proved that Nan Zhou didn't kill them because of his sincerity rather than ability.

Are they going to go back on their actions now, and then repeat the tragedy of the 99-man race with corpses all over the field?

While other people were hesitating whether to fight or make peace, and waited and watched Nanzhou's attitude, the five groups of people who had been waiting for Nanzhou for a long time saw Nanzhou appear, and their eyes lit up.

Except for Sun Guojing and the others, the other four groups stood up straight, trying to choose the best time for him to notice them.

Nanzhou led Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang, passing through many gazes, and walked straight in a certain direction.

Shen Jie's trio happened to be on the way Nanzhou was about to pass by.

Shen Jie swallowed nervously, and finally when Nan Zhou approached, she took the initiative to say hello: "Hi."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a gasp, Nan Zhou stepped past her.

It can be said that it is not squinting.

Shen Jie: "..."

She withdrew her greeting hand in a little embarrassment, thinking, it's quite normal.

From Nan Zhou's point of view, his small team is probably no different from duckweed——

Before she could finish laughing at herself, she watched Nan Zhou walk quickly towards a dessert shop next to the circular square of the "Colosseum" under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The wind chime on the door of the dessert shop jingled, accompanied by the muscular waiter in Roman robes saying "Welcome" from afar.

Shen Jie: "..."

She vaguely remembered that Nan Zhou was fond of sweets.

...So, he was on his way without distraction, just to replenish the sugar as soon as possible?

The author has something to say:
