Chapter 610 The Real Fisherman
Chapter 610 The Real Fisherman
After the game ended, everyone fell into a brief silence, waiting for the system to issue further instructions.
About five minutes later, the familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in everyone's mind.
'The crystal transportation round of the game has now been completed. Each team please open your treasure chests in the treasury area and count the number of crystals.'
'In this competition, the top two teams with the most crystals in their treasure chests will win the game and advance to the quarterfinals.'
"Special reminder: if a team fails to open the treasure chest within ten minutes, the number of crystals they have will be considered zero."
After receiving the system prompt, four teams with a total of twenty members gathered in the treasure area.
Sikong Mingshen took the lead, took out the red crystal key, and was the first to open the treasure chest engraved with the name of his team.
As the treasure chest was opened, a mechanical prompt sound immediately echoed in the empty treasure area.
'The Tianyu team's treasure chest crystals have been confirmed, the number is ten.'
When Gibson heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a sense of inexplicable doubt surged in his heart. Shouldn't the Tianyu team have transported eleven crystals?
Why is the system reporting only ten now? Is there something wrong with my memory?
However, he soon figured out the connection.
The key to the treasure chest of the 'Tianyu' team has always been in the hands of James Bond, which means that the number of crystals transported by the 'Wrath of the God of War' team is the real number of crystals of the 'Tianyu' team, so it is indeed ten pieces.
Then, James Bond strode with the attitude of a winner, walking confidently towards his team's treasure chest.
He raised his right hand, solemnly inserted the red crystal key into the keyhole, then slowly turned it to open his team's treasure chest.
At the same time, the loud mechanical voice was like an echo that penetrated the soul, clearly transmitted to the depths of everyone's mind.
'The treasure chest of the God of War's Wrath team has been confirmed, and the number is six.'
Six pieces!? Only six pieces!?
This piece of news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting James Bond hard on the head, making his mind go blank and he was stunned.
Tong Xin, De Zheng and the middle-aged man with the flat head also turned pale suddenly, with an expression of disbelief and astonishment in their eyes.
They rushed forward frantically as if they had lost their minds, trying to confirm this desperate scene with their own eyes.
That's right, inside the spacious treasure chest, there lay quietly a pile of gray crystals emitting a cold luster. Upon careful counting, there were exactly six pieces, not one more, not one less.
In an instant, the entire treasure area was shrouded in deathly silence. Even the air seemed to freeze at this moment, making it suffocating.
"Why..." Zhan Shibang's voice was trembling and weak. He turned his head with difficulty like a zombie and looked at Sikong Mingshen's extremely indifferent face. "Why do we only have six crystals? What...what did you do?"
Sikong Mingshen calmly met his dull gaze, opened his thin lips slightly, and said with a hint of disdain, "A third-rate team like you actually dared to step into the top eight. It's really a huge joke."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked away. There was no need for him to give any explanation to these dying people.
Gibson finally came back to his senses from the shock, and he couldn't wait to open his team's treasure chest.
Since the 'Wrath of the God of War' team has been eliminated, doesn't that mean their team has a chance of advancing?
As the treasure chest opened, the system's mechanical broadcast sound echoed in the air.
'The number of crystals in the treasure chest of the Yanzhihua team has been determined, and it is nine.'
After the announcement ended, Gibson immediately turned his gaze to Li Ming, his eyes revealing nervousness and anticipation.
At the moment, as long as the number of treasure chest crystals of the 'Meteor' team is less than nine, their 'Flower of Evolution' will be able to advance to the next round of competition.
Just as Li Ming was holding the red crystal key and preparing to open the treasure chest, James Bang suddenly burst into laughter, but this laughter revealed endless sadness.
His lifeless eyes stared at Sikong Mingshen and Li Ming, his voice full of bitterness, "You are really too cruel..."
At this moment, the fog in James Bond's heart finally dissipated, revealing the cruel truth.
In this level of the game, Sikong Mingshen and Li Ming are the real anglers behind the scenes, while they themselves are just poor fish struggling in the water but with nowhere to escape.
"I hate it! Ah! Ah...Fuck survival game!" He suddenly let out a wild roar, his whole body filled with surging energy, as if he was going to drag the entire treasure area into it.
However, the next moment when this momentum reached its peak, his body suddenly turned into a wisp of powder and drifted into the air with the wind.
At the same time, a cold and mechanical voice echoed in the treasury area, "James Bang used force against others, which seriously violated the rules of the game and will be immediately wiped out!"
"Captain..." Tong Xin's eyes were red. She stretched out her hand weakly, as if she wanted to retain something, but in the end she could not catch anything and could only let the sadness flow through her fingertips.
De Zheng and the middle-aged man with a flat head next to her just sat on the ground in a daze, as if they were bodies without souls, and did not move at all.
On the other side, Li Ming paused for a moment while opening the treasure chest. He sighed softly in his heart, then continued to turn the key and slowly opened the treasure chest.
Then, a mechanical voice sounded, echoing in the empty treasury area, "The crystals in the Meteor Squadron treasure chest have been confirmed, and the number is eleven."
'The crystal count of all teams has been completed. The winning teams of this game are Meteor Team and Tianyu Team. Both teams will advance to the quarterfinals.'
'The Flower of Evolution and the God of War's Fury were eliminated immediately.'
'The next round of competition will begin in 24 hours. The winning team should restore their physical and mental strength to the best condition and be fully prepared for the next challenge.'
The moment the mechanical voice announced the result, the five members of the 'Flower of Evolution' team seemed to be swallowed up by time and space, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The remaining three members of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team, like James Bond before, suddenly collapsed and turned into a wisp of powder, floating in the air...
At this moment, in the entire treasure house area, only the 'Tianyu' team and the 'Meteor' team are still standing.
Sikong Mingshen had a blank expression on his face and said nothing. He calmly led his five teammates and turned to leave the treasure area.
Dongmen Qiansha stared at the piles of powder on the ground, feeling an indescribable sense of grief for the loss of another.
She gently wrapped her arms around Li Ming and buried her little face deeply in his arms. It seemed that only such a close reliance could make her feel a little comfort and peace of mind.
Li Ming turned to meet Cecily and Xingmei's inquiring gazes and said in a calm tone, "If you have any questions, just ask."
