Chapter 296: Chapter 42: Resurrection Argument and Trojan’s Mockery

With the leftover 3800 points from the last round and various seedlings, minus the cost of repairing his body, Tang Zheng now has 8420 points, two Star Seeds, six Gold Seeds, and two Silver Seeds. His worth is quite substantial. However, to resurrect Li Xinlan and Lin Weiguo, it’s still not enough. Therefore, he doesn’t plan to buy anything and is preparing to teleport away when he’s stopped.

"Are you crazy? Without adding any gear, without strengthening your body, do you want to die?"Pang Meiqin grabs Tang Zheng’s arm, her face filled with anger. Their survival chances would increase only if he becomes stronger. However, judging from the current situation, this guy seems to be saving his points.

Lu Fan remains silent, while Yin Shangwu glances at them before moving to a corner.

"I don’t have enough points." Tang Zheng brushes off Pang Meiqin’s hand. He also wants to strengthen himself, but what he wants more is to see Xin Lan and the others as soon as possible.

"According to your previous purchases of equipment and body strengthening, shouldn’t you have over 7000 points?" As a woman, Pang Meiqin is even more sensitive to these points, which are more important than money.

"8420 points." Tang Zheng doesn’t hide anything, and the number he blurted out immediately causes astonishment. The three women, two adults and one child, stare at him as if he’s a monster.

"I don’t have enough points to spend, yet you’ve saved up so much." Lu Fan pouts, saying, "I’m so envious."

"If all goes well, you should have over 4500 in the next round. You could totally spend two thousand points." Pang Meiqin doesn’t understand what Tang Zheng wants to do and is still trying to persuade him. "Even if you are going to leave next time, you have enough points. Otherwise, the excess will be wasted, and your chance of survival will also increase if you strengthen your body now."

"Thank you for your concern." Tang Zheng goes silent as he feels a little over-sensitive after hearing about the possibility of resurrecting his companions. He only thought about accumulating points and forgot about their rational use.

Seeing that her persuasion was successful, Pang Meiqin was about to take a breather when a sentence from Lu Fan, made her jump up like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Uncle, are you planning to resurrect Aunt Xin Lan?"

"Yeah, and Old Lin too." Tang Zheng clenches his fist, looking at Qin Yan. "Would you resurrect Bai Guo? If you choose not to, you can give it to me. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything; it’s a matter of personal will."

"I will." Qin Yan didn’t hesitate at all.

"Tang Zheng, calm down. Your mind isn’t normal right now." Pang Meiqin had thought that after some time, Tang Zheng would have forgotten about Xin Lan and the others, but he still had this intention. Was he a fool to gather ten thousand points for others?

"I’m very normal." Tang Zheng didn’t blame Pang Meiqin. How one chooses is a matter of personal freedom.

"No, you must be crazy. Three people mean thirty thousand points. Add to that, the ten thousand points you need to leave the Trojan Horse Game, that’s forty thousand points in total. The average score for a Conqueror in each game is only 3000 points. You need to participate in 13 Trojan Horse Games to gather enough points. This assumes you don’t buy any props or strengthen your body during this time." Pang Meiqin does the math for Tang Zheng, trying to convince him.

"Uncle can get 4500 points per game." Lu Fan thought Pang Meiqin was underestimating Tang Zheng and started counting on her fingers to do the math. "Adding the occasional high score of over 5000 points, he should be able to accumulate enough points in about 9 games."

"What if you get a score of 3000? Do you think the Silver Trojan is your nanny? Look at this time, we were almost annihilated." Pang Meiqin disdains this calculation method. "And according to your calculation, he also doesn’t have the spare points to buy gear. Do you think he can survive just with that S-Rank Firefly Protective Clothing?"

"But, but..." Lu Fan’s face turns red in anxiety, unable to retort. She also doesn’t believe one can survive without buying anything.

"Tang Zheng, Yin Shangwu isn’t much worse than you, but she spent nine games to gather just twenty thousand points." Pang Meiqin wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Qin Yan.

"I will resurrect Bai Guo. Tang Zheng only needs to gather thirty thousand points."

"You idiots! Qin Yan, don’t blame me for scolding you. Even if it’s thirty thousand, do you think Tang Zheng will be at ease?" Pang Meiqin is frustrated, scratching her hair, not knowing how to persuade them. "This isn’t much different from the real world. When a friend dies, we also grieve and miss them, but life has to go on."

Lu Fan suddenly feels that she has a point.

"But here they can be resurrected." Qin Yan is a bit obstinate.

"Silver Trojan, can you resurrect people who have already died in the real world? Didn’t you say you’re omnipotent?" Pang Meiqin ignores Qin Yan and looks at the Silver Trojan instead.

"Yes, but gene samples are needed, and it will cost even more points. The longer the time since death, the more points required." Silver Trojan isn’t a charity. The high cost is enough to cause despair.

"You heard it too. The toys coming in here also have deceased relatives. But do they think of resurrecting them? Once they’re dead, just let them rest in peace. Isn’t it good to become a memory?" Pang Meiqin begins shifting the concept.

As expected, Tang Zheng and Qin Yan frown and stop talking.

"This... can’t be considered the same thing, right?" Lu Fan scratches her head, saying firmly, "Even though my mother has passed away, I also want to see her again. If possible, I want to resurrect her."

"Your mother would want you to live, to leave this game, and grow up healthily." Pang Meiqin gives Little Lolita a look, accusing her of making things more complicated.
