First Player

Chapter 499: Four hundred and ninety-seven

 Chapter 499 Chapter 497·“Duel.”

The girl in the white dress seemed to have a divine aura about her.

 But in fact, beautiful women will not divert everyone’s attention. Mainly...she seems to be in the second position.

Thinking of this relationship, the players' faces couldn't help but show horror.

"...Noel's sacrifice is a bit big." Lu turned around and whispered to Bei Wang next to him.

 “As expected of the second player, he has such magnanimity.”

“…This does require some mental preparation.”

“However, I have a vague feeling that he seems to enjoy it..."

However, the discussion about Noel only lasted a few sentences. Soon, someone brought up the topic and noticed more important things.

"What's going on?" Player Anev looked at the empty space in the third position, as if he had seen a ghost: "It's only the early morning of the fourth day, and Edward is out now?"

Beside him, the smiling and wealthy middle-aged Joey said:

“…Perhaps I failed in the process of collecting silver stars. After all, none of you here are fools.”

No one is talking on the platform now, and Anev and Joey's voices are particularly loud when they come out.

"Edward's leader is Michael, the third-ranked 'time controller'. This powerful combination was able to be eliminated in the first three days..." Miao Wen's unique voice came out.

“The difficulty of this copy is indeed not low. Maybe he failed to find the soul stone in time.”

"...I have never seen Michael's strength, but I have been lucky enough to see the fourth leader Noriji's action from a distance. A flaming sword can level a mountain with one swing. I don't know what kind of dangerous situation can kill. There is such an existence as death.”

“Ms. Mizushimagawa has drawn a good card this time.”

Since the boss rabbit has not yet appeared, this group of players began to talk to themselves.

  After all, this is an exile conference, not an opening ceremony. In order to avoid suspicion, some people will deliberately speak to express their opinions. Smart people always like to take the initiative, and there are many people present who like to control the right to speak.

Even some people took the initiative to bring the topic to other players, such as a player who tried his best to flatter Mizushima Kawa Sora.

“Ms. Mizushimagawa, you have a great chance of winning this time. Judge Noriji, that flaming sword is really unbeatable. Coupled with Miss Mizushimagawa’s shadow killing, I believe...”

He was flattering fiercely, but Mizushima Kawakawa didn't even raise her eyelids. She just stared at the ground and did not participate in the discussion of the players.

 At this moment, a pink light wave lit up.

 Everyone stopped their discussion and looked towards the center, where a fat and white figure appeared.

“—My dear players—Hello Ling Chen!”

 The fat white rabbit stretched out his hands and hugged these players who were obviously not interested in it with great enthusiasm.

It continues to poke players’ lungs:

“—Dear players, how have you been playing these past few days? Are you having fun?”

 On the platform, some players who were so weak that they could no longer stand still dared not speak out.

 The organizers have always been so fond of yin and yang, they are used to it.

 But Boss Rabbit’s ability to irritate people seems to be better than before.

"Does the dungeon in our dome give everyone a unique gaming experience? - This game is a groundbreaking experience. Do you like it? This kind of exciting small dungeon is placed in the exciting adventure. The pleasure?" Ying shouted excitedly, raising his big white hands: "If you like it, please shout their name - come - 3-2-1-!"

 There was silence.

On the platform, the players watched it play with treasures one by one. No one paid attention or responded. It was like watching monkeys in a zoo.

Ying Ying did not feel embarrassed. When a person has no bottom line, no one can make him feel ashamed.

"-Then while everyone is having fun, I have gathered everyone here. Of course there is something important to do!" Ying Le laughed enough and finally began to speak human words: "Next- I will announce to everyone the details of the 'Exile Conference' the rule of-"

As his words fell, a blue panel appeared in front of everyone.

Su Mingan did not rush to read the rules. He turned his head and looked at a location not far from him.

That position is vacant.

Even though he had predicted this result yesterday, he still felt a little regretful when he saw that Lu Shu had not been summoned.

It is indeed dangerous to go out with the Soulless Stone at night. Lu Shu may have died because of this.

 He looked at Yamada Machichi's position again. Sure enough, Yamada Machichi didn't come. I wonder if it was because he was entangled in the castle monster's tentacles and lost consciousness, so he didn't have to come.

 He looked at the rules.

 …

  【Rule 01: All players have five minutes of discussion time before being officially exiled. If a player thinks he has sufficient evidence, he can ask himself to be a "judge". The number of "judges" is limited to three. Each "judge" will have an extra minute to speak after the discussion time. If the vote is correct, An additional Silver Star will be awarded. 】

  【Rule 02: When exiled, the player with the highest number of votes will enter the "counterattack stage".

Counterattack: The person with the highest number of votes can have a three-minute debate or direct duel with each "judge" and win three times. During the duel, if the player is about to die, he will be forced to maintain 1 point of health and will not die.

 If the "counterattack link" fails, the player is officially exiled (out). If the "counterattack link" is successful, the player will receive a reward and will no longer be a voting target. 】

 …

 Very simple rule.

This rule not only gives room for those who have substantial evidence to speak, but also gives room for the exiled to fight back. As long as the exile can win three games in a row, whether it's a debate or a duel of force, he/she will be completely safe from now on.

 “So—” The shadow turned around and stood in an empty space on the platform, as if he wanted to watch a show:

“Five minutes for discussion, the timer starts!”

 The shadow of a clock appeared in the vast sky, like a curtain, and the countdown was exactly five minutes.

 Rows of hands were quickly raised on the stage.

  “—I apply to be a judge!”

  “—I apply!”

Su Mingan thought he had raised his hands fast enough, but someone was faster than him. As soon as the timer started, more than 20 hands were raised, more than half of them.

 Players are all good at grasping the rules, and they judge whether the identity of the judge is beneficial or harmful.

Just the fact that "if you vote correctly, you will be awarded an additional silver star" is enough to make them excited. In addition, players will not actually die during the counterattack, but will at most be beaten to the point of death. This risk is enough for them to give it a try.

                         

 Three white lights came down, and the three people who raised their hands first became the judges.

Su Mingan glanced at them and saw a tall woman, a middle-aged man wearing a worn-out straw hat, and the flame loli Bonnie.

“So, should the three judges present the evidence first and let us narrow the scope of the discussion?” someone said.

People's eyes were looking at the three judges, but the tall woman was just adjusting her sleeves, and Bonnie turned her head away, not intending to speak.

They are competing for this position just to get a silver star, but they actually have no accurate clues.

It was the man wearing a straw hat who looked like an old farmer who spoke.

 “Elland.” He looked at a player with his hands in his pockets: “Has anyone purchased information from you recently?”

Alan is recognized as the "prophet" among the players on the list. His special status gives him the opportunity to get a glimpse of the plot, and many players will take the initiative to trade information with him.

"What? You are the Lord Judge, and you actually asked me for information." Ailande looked very surprised. Everyone knew that he was being weird: "God, what did you do when you raised your hands in a panic just now? I thought All of you are running for president."

The man in the straw hat, Vyazin, frowned.

"Let me think about it..." Alande just mocked casually: "The person who bought information from me recently... Edward."

 “Really?” Vyazin nodded, as if he just knew about it.

Su Mingjing watched this scene quietly without saying anything. He noticed that these people seemed to be acting like they were trying to trick others.

 “Did Edward ask anything?” asked a man with earrings next to him.

 “Well, news from the First Tribe or something like that.” Alande said.

“The first tribe.” The man with the earring glanced at Su Mingan, as if he was saying something, but also as if he didn’t say anything.

Su Mingan’s movements are not hidden, and many people know that he has been around the First Tribe in the past few days.

“The first tribe seems to have experienced a sudden change recently, and a polluted monster has appeared in the central castle,” this is a woman’s voice.

"I said, there is no need to talk about this kind of news anymore. The five minutes of discussion time are not used to exchange this kind of information." This was a man with yellow hair. He glanced at the three judges who said almost nothing: "Isn't there anyone who has some useful information? Hey, you guys are really just trying to catch Yin Xing."

 The three judges ignored him.

They were talking here and there, trying to figure out what clues they were talking about.

“…near this second tribe, a small copy was destroyed.”

 “Who do you think it is?”

"Then I really don't know...it seems that someone has seen Sophia..."

 Watching this group of people changing the topic or remaining silent, Su Mingan suddenly understood what they were doing.

He didn't say anything, just watched the performances of several people as if watching a drama, with a look like "please start your performance."

 Until the five-minute discussion ended, none of the forty people presented any conclusive evidence.

 After all, this was only the fourth day of the competition, and the malicious actors were not too obvious. People only raised a few suspects. For example, Isabella, Alger, Yulia and others.

The whole process was like a symposium, with people either watching indifferently or talking in random directions. No one stood up and the scene was extremely harmonious.

 In a sense, these top players who advocate self-interest seem to be quite indifferent.

 Then it was time for the judge to speak alone.

 …someone suddenly started to show his fangs.

“This is a video I recorded.” Qin Chunyao, a tall woman, took out a video.

Through the video footage, people saw the first tribe’s central castle, with many tentacles spreading out from the window.

"This is an abnormality of the first tribe. I asked many NPCs and they said that this is a monster incarnated by a leader named Siboer. She is the only believer in the evil **** in the sky." Qin Chunyao said: "Sibor wears a red robe and has a soul stone. With such an image, I think everyone knows who is her guide."

 As soon as she finished speaking, it was Vyazin's time.

“—She is the leader of the first player,” he said.

 The expressions of the players changed slightly.

"I think everyone should have figured out the background of Qiongdi. It is the confrontation between the righteous **** Bai Shen and the evil **** Jiu Shen." Vyazin said: "I know there should be hidden secrets in it, but since we can't know who is malicious If so, then we can consider it from the perspective of ‘heterogeneous’.”

 His words may seem far-fetched, but they are recognized by most people.

 In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Su Mingan is a malicious person or not.

Qin Chunyao and Vyasin just took the opportunity to remind them of the special status of the first player.

 In usual dungeons, the first player will use his high status to stir up the situation in the entire dungeon world. Vyazin is reminding people that the first player has now penetrated deep into the first tribe. If he is allowed to continue to advance, the situation will be extremely dangerous.

 They just want to find an excuse to eliminate the biggest threat. It's not that he's deliberately targeting anyone, but he's just targeting the "strongest" identity.

If it were Edward who became number one, they would also try to exile Edward.

 Noel asked Su Mingan with his eyes if he needed help. After all, they couldn't speak now, not even refute.

 Su Mingan just shook his head.

 The next moment, during the voting session, he had three votes hanging on his head.

 As for the rest of the people... none of them voted.

 One silver star will be deducted for voting errors. Even if they know that Su Mingan is a threat, no one will take the risk to vote. This matter can only be left to the first person to do it.

 The three "outstanding ones" wanted to force the vote to eliminate the biggest threat at the cost of deducting a silver star each.

I have to say that these people reacted very quickly. In just five minutes, they took the rules to their extreme.

Without even a word exchanged between them, they worked together to achieve this situation, like a subtle mime performed by smart people.

—Su Mingan became the winner of the most votes.

 This is the result they want to achieve.

 …

 “Ding dong!”

  【The one with the highest number of votes will enter the "counterattack stage". 】

  【You can choose to argue against the three judges in turn, or choose to fight directly to avoid punishment. 】

 …

 “Duel.” Su Mingan said without hesitation.
