Chapter 297: Chapter 42: Resurrection Argument and Trojan’s Mockery_2

"Uncle Lin killed that woman and helped us win the second ghost card draw." Tang Zheng remained unswerving, just didn’t want to erase their credits.

"But after all, you are the one who participated in four games. If that woman hadn’t died, I think you would have come up with something. The worst outcome is just losing the competition and a few more high school students dying." Pang Meiqin coldly sneered, "Those high school students were already bewitched by you. In that atmosphere, there’s always going to be some foolishly passionate idiots standing up. Even if not, you must have had a backup plan."

"What do you all think?" Tang Zheng couldn’t quite accept this kind of talk.

"Uncle, I think Uncle Lin is a good person. In that kind of situation, he could give up his life for everyone in an instant, his character is indeed commendable. But in terms of the result, he only saved some unrelated people." Lu Fan spoke honestly.

"Have you forgotten that after we won the second game, having more survivors in the third round actually made Alice favor the Superman team?" Pang Meiqin continued to discredit Tang Zheng.

"Although Pang Meiqin is a utilitarian, what she says is true. Lin Weiguo’s death isn’t of great value." Yin Shangwu also ruthlessly rubbed salt into Tang Zheng’s wound, which immediately made his face extremely ugly.

"What about Xinlan? She risked exhausting her life energy and killed Alice. Did she die in vain too?" Tang Zheng raised his voice, unable to help but retort. He felt that his values were on the verge of breaking down.

"It’s just that she was unlucky. You can resurrect her." Yin Shangwu was the first to express her opinion without pouring cold water this time.

"So are you planning to resurrect every teammate who dies fighting a BOSS in the future?" Pang Meiqin wanted to say more but was interrupted by Qin Yan.

"What’s the point of discussing this, just resurrect her if you want. According to your words, doesn’t Bai Guo’s death mean even less?" Qin Yan didn’t like their attitude and shouted, "Is it deadly to be a little humane?"

"You think this is being humane? This is called being emotional, okay. Who in the entire airline company doesn’t know that you protect Bai Guo like an older sister? You want to resurrect her, no problem, but don’t drag Tang Zheng into death with you."

Lu Fan wanted to advise them not to quarrel and keep their voices down, but no one listened to her.

"Who am I saying this for? For myself? You all know that my score is low. I probably won’t be able to accumulate 10,000 points before I die. If Tang Zheng stays in the game for one more day, I can cling to his thigh to live one more day. Am I stupid to insist he leaves?" Pang Meiqin cried out with a look of grievance, "But he has done so much for everyone, just let him go. I’d rather he be the one who can survive and leave in the end, not to be tied down by this game."

Everyone fell silent, and Tang Zheng seriously looked at Pang Meiqin for the first time.

"You all are not children of the Goddess of Luck, why should she take care of you? Don’t forget the great purge of the Silver Trojan, even if there are ten games, some friends are bound to die, right? Do you expect Tang Zheng to continue to accumulate points for resurrection? What if he dies?" Pang Meiqin gave a rare burst of aggression, shouting at people angrily. She had only wanted to rely on Tang Zheng to survive at first, but the more they spent time together, the more she liked him, but also felt she was unworthy of him. Therefore, she had recently been vexed and wished she could return to the time when she hadn’t left those terrible impressions on Tang Zheng.

"Tang Zheng, Meiqin, I’m sorry." Qin Yan sighed, no longer insisting. Indeed, Tang Zheng had no obligation to do these things for everyone.

"Uncle, if you keep being so distressed, you’ll go crazy." Lu Fan grabbed Tang Zheng’s hand and gently shook it. "Let’s take advantage of the three-day rest period and go on a trip. It might make you feel a lot better."

"Tang Zheng, although you can explode, your equipment is too bad, and you also lack recovery potions." Yin Shangwu stood up and patted her butt. "You can first spend two thousand points to buy some potions. As for the resurrection issue, let’s wait till you accumulate ten thousand points. You can leave the game by then. Besides, you might die in the next game and then you won’t have to worry about these problems."

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Tang Zheng. It wasn’t impossible for such a situation to happen.

"Alright, let’s focus on surviving first." Tang Zheng laughed bitterly, realizing that he was being unnecessarily paranoid, and then opened the list.

Seeing this scene, Pang Meiqin let out a sigh of relief. If they could drag it out for a few days, then so be it. By then, she would have won Tang Zheng’s heart and wouldn’t have to worry about him resurrecting Li Xinlan.

"Oh, it seems your argument has come to a halt. Excuse me for a moment then. Tang Zheng has lost a thousand points for killing a newbie in the game." came Trojan’s proud voice. "So your actual points stand at 7420."

"What?" The color instantly drained from Tang Zheng’s face. Anyone would be furious if they suddenly found a thousand hard-earned points deducted for no apparent reason.

"This isn’t fair!" yelled Lu Fan, waving his arms in dismay, demanding justice. "Those trash were just hindering us, Tang Zheng took them out for all our sakes. Why is he the only one being penalized? Let us share the loss."

Pang Meiqin was not pleased, but dared not show it. She secretly longed to smack Little Lolita’s bottom. Tang Zheng losing a thousand points merely meant less items for him. She had suffered far more.

"Have you ever considered the ’toys’ you guys have killed? Where will they seek justice?" Trojan retorted in a robotic voice full of disdain. "Even the trash have rights, thus sharing points is absolutely impossible. You can only blame Tang Zheng’s bad luck."

"You talking about rights?" Lu Fan burst into laughter as if he heard the world’s most hilarious joke. "There is no one more trashy and boring than you."

"Thank you for the compliment," said Trojan cheerfully. "Just to be clear, I’m not a Lolicon, don’t think I can be manipulated by you."

"I also killed a newbie!" asked Qin Yan frowning. "Are you just picking on Tang Zheng?"

"I am actually very merciful. The first newbie you guys killed doesn’t even count. Tang Zheng made the mistake for the second time." To strengthen his argument, Trojan started playing a clip that depicted Tang Zheng turning the poacher leader into a bloody mess on the bus.

"I see, I thought you’d forgotten about that." replied Tang Zheng, a bitter smile plastered on his face.

The women looked at Tang Zheng, surprised at his ordeal in Japan.

"Hehe, weren’t you delighted when you escaped the thousand-point penalty last time? Sucks to be you now, huh?" Trojan never overlooked a chance to mock these players, showing them no mercy.

"Can you tell me how many Trojan Squads have escaped Demon City this round? Who did the Vodka Squad fight against?" Tang Zheng’s bitter smile instantly disappeared and he wore an indifferent attitude, as not to appease Trojan’s pleasure.

"Don’t you feel angry? I’d love to remove your pituitary gland!" Indeed, seeing Tang Zheng’s expression, Trojan got irritated and started banging on the floor while he muttered curses."Answer me." Seeing Trojan frustrate, Tang Zheng feels a bit better.

"The Vodka and the South American teams entered Demon City at the same time as you, just in a different dungeon." Trojan’s screen displayed a sped-up montage of the South American team’s various death scenes when they got annihilated. "So, how was that? The whole spectacle was pretty good, right? Actually, I have a rating system for each Trojan Squad’s death, this one is B+."

Trojan deliberately paused for a while, waiting for Tang Zheng and the others to look at him. Then he sneered, "I must apologize, but Lin Weiguo’s death only scored a C and Bai Guo got a C+ because Qin Yan’s anguish added a grade. Yet the unimaginative method of just blowing their heads off was not even worthy of my attention."

"You bastard." Tang Zheng was about to dismantle Trojan, but Pang Meiqin and Qin Yan held him back from behind, while Lu Fan held onto his leg.

The annoying Trojan kept displaying scores and replayed Bai Guo and Lin Weiguo’s death scenes on the screen. Qin Yan gritted her teeth, swearing to herself that she would destroy Trojan someday.

"Aha! Tang Zheng finally loses his cool, I must capture this expression." Trojan suddenly flashed once, and Tang Zheng’s expression was immediately displayed on its screen, tormenting them further.

"Alright, you win. Can we use seeds to exchange points or use the discount device now?" Qin Yan heaved a long sigh, calming her mood.
