Chapter 432: Chapter 45: 10,000 Points, Resurrect? Leave!

Chu Baichuan is simple-minded, muscled, and doesn’t think about the future. After lovingly kissing his wife and joyously listening to the child’s movement in her belly, he had no idea what to do next until Ai Yixin slapped him and told him to look at the Trojan List.

"Thank you. He’s a fool. Don’t mind him." Ai Yixin sat against the wall on the floor, brushed her hair away from her eyes, and thanked Tang Zheng.

"You’re welcome." Seeing this kind-hearted, subtly elegant Eastern woman, Tang Zheng had to marvel at how lucky Chu Baichuan was.

"A violent loli who’s increasingly fond of sticking to Tang Zheng; you’ve got quite used to splattering others’ brains like a rotten watermelon. Congrats, wish you can go far. Score: 3100, Reward: Golden Seed, Level-A Evaluation."

"Humph," Lu Fan snorted proudly, lifting his tender chin in contempt.

Having heard the score, Dantai Zongqi looked at the loli with newfound interest. She was not just a burden; he had underestimated her.

"The woman who lives the most comfortably, who exudes hormones all the time, your luck continues to be excellent. Even the Trojans would applaud you. Keep up your miracles! Score: 2600, Award: Silver Seed, Level-A Evaluation."

"Tch, that’s all the points?" Although Pang Meiqin was a veteran player, she was always bothered by the lack of points. After listening to the evaluation, she began seeking ways to maximize usage of the Trojan List.

"Natural ones indeed have the halo of luck, and might even generate other blessing halos. It’s not easy being an old woman, but it’s more important than anything else to be alive. Sister Qin, keep up; Score: 4100, Reward: one Golden Seed, S-level evaluation." For some reason, Trojan had abruptly changed its tone to commend Qin Yan, the only toy it admired.

"Congrats, Sister Qin Yan, S-level!" Lu Fan gave her a thumbs-up. The little guy does have his own alliances.

"You damned woman, you’re still alive. Even the Trojan is depressed by you. If you’re really bored, just leave the room, please! Score: 4100, Reward: one Golden Seed, S-level evaluation." The Trojan sounded miserable, only Yin Shangwu and Tang Zheng could occasionally put it in its place.

"Humph, it’s not your business whether I’m here or not," scoffed Yin Shangwu, tapping her wristwatch and sneering, "it looks like I’ve scored another 10,000 points."

"Yin Shangwu, you now possess 11,020 points in total. Once you surpass 10,000, you will have new choice branches." The Trojan sounded miserable, "So that’s why I’ve been asking you to leave."

"That fast? Didn’t you just earn 20,000 points two rounds ago?" Pang Meiqin felt a mixture of envy and resentment. These guys were just too good; they were tough competition for average players.

"I had over two thousand left after escaping Demon City, plus the points from the last two rounds, of course it’s enough." Yin Shangwu did not mock, but instead smiled bitterly, "We’ve gone through tens of rounds. Any Conqueror who survives that long would have gained many advantages and become strong."

Yin Shangwu’s physical strength and combat power are far superior to Tang Zheng’s, that’s beyond doubt. In order to avenge, along with the care of her former group leader, Yin Shangwu has used most of her points very wisely. That’s why Trojan hates her. It wants her to leave or die soon, as they’re upsetting the game’s balance.

"Look at the screen, it seems we can leave if we get ten thousand points." Li Meilian pointed at the black cube, excitedly shouting out.

"Those who manage to accumulate 10,000 points, you have three choices."

"First, completely leave the Trojan Room. You will be stripped off your memory and forget everything about the Trojan Game. All equipment and enhancements you’ve purchased will also be confiscated. However, to show the Trojan’s kindness, you will be left with physical attributes that are three-fold a regular person’s."

"Second, resurrect a Trojan player who has died, or clone a Trojan player you like!"

"Third, keep participating in the game and buy more powerful props and equipment. With 10,000 points, you now have a 50% discount on all recreational props."

"Congratulations Sister Shangwu." That was Xu Biyun’s heartfelt congratulation, and the other newbies swiftly followed suit. They were full of confidence about their future. No one believed themselves to be the ones who would be eliminated - especially with a powerful and kind-hearted group leader like Tang Zheng around.

Pang Meiqin was depressed, believing the departure of such a strong team member would certainly weaken the team’s strength.

"Don’t look at me like that, I’ve already made my decision." Yin Shangwu waved her hand, "Trojan, score for Tang Zheng first, I will choose later."

"That wavering do-gooder, Tang Zheng, is finding the struggle painful. Why bother with those troubles? Wouldn’t it be nice to be a self-serving villain? With your strength, these newbies are your slaves. Here, you can enjoy the prerogatives of an emperor. Score: 4700, Award: Golden Seed X2, S-level evaluation." The Trojan was tempting Tang Zheng again; it enjoyed watching these somewhat partly good guys struggling.

"Tang Zheng, after deducting the scores spent on Hellfire, you now have 10,836 points to use. Once you exceed 10,000 points, you will have new choice branches."

Upon seeing the score displayed on the screen, the survivors’ gaze fell on Tang Zheng, and the newbies’ faces turned pale. They didn’t expect him to also get ten thousand points, and it seemed that they wouldn’t get any advantage. Chu Baichuan, on the other hand, was jovial, pointing at some fun items and sharing them with his wife. He was completely oblivious to Ai Yixin’s furrowed brow and the glances she occasionally cast in his direction.

The choice that Tang Zheng makes affects the fate of everyone here.

Pang Meiqin swallowed, wanting to generously tell Tang Zheng to leave, that they could survive. But in the end, she could not bring herself to speak.

"Sure enough, you’ve got enough points, Tang Zheng. Leave, there’s no need for you to stay anymore." Qin Yan extended her right hand. "Congratulations."

Staring at her fair hand, Tang Zheng stood still, showing no reaction. He was just quietly staring at the screen of the black cube.

"Hey, Uncle, you lucky guy. Leave quickly. If you keep on being so extraordinary, it’ll depress me." Lu Fan patted on Tang Zheng’s backside, forcing out the words. In the end, the tears swirling in his eyes flowed down his cheek.

The little girl quickly bowed her head to wipe them away, afraid to be seen by Tang Zheng.

"What are you thinking about, Tang Zheng? Leave this damned game quickly," Gao Wei approached him and patted his shoulder. "You’re not thinking of staying back to help others, are you? Don’t be foolish."

Upon learning that resurrection was possible, Gao Wei had thought of Du Peng for a moment. But he quickly abandoned the idea. He had his family too. He didn’t mind helping others, but if that help came at the cost of his life, he would hesitate.

"Why are you all looking at me? Trojan, show me some healing items." Tang Zheng slapped away Qin Yan’s hand and laughed. "Who said I am leaving?"

"Tang Zheng, there’s no need for you to do this." Qin Yan immediately guessed why Tang Zheng had been silent. He never thought of leaving but was considering how to maximize the use of his points. "Did you push back the timing of Weiguo’s resurrection because you heard the next round is the Great Purge Chapter?"

"Of course." Lu Fan pouted his lips and patted Tang Zheng a few times. "Stop being stupid and get lost. You’re not welcome here."

"Ah, that’s a wise choice. The Trojan Horse Game is most entertaining. The person who leaves is the fool." After the Trojan finished speaking, it suddenly glared ferociously at Yin Shangwu. "Why aren’t you leaving yet?"

"As far as I know, once you get ten thousand points, you temporarily lose control over me," Yin Shangwu shrugged mockingly, suddenly drawing her handgun and fired it wildly at Trojan. "I have wanted to do this for a long time."

"You bastard." The black cube was not damaged in any way, but to be humiliated in this manner made the Trojan furious.

Yin Shangwu promptly holstered the gun. She knew that it would be overkill and that once she crossed a certain limit, she would certainly be punished.

"Ah, don’t you want to customize a beautiful girl? Now is a rare bargain time. I heard that men generally like anime girls, they are both pure and beautiful." The Trojan no longer paid any mind and began to market entertainment items to Tang Zheng. "Asuka, SABER, Empress Hancock..."

"Congratulations on leaving, Yin Shangwu." Tang Zheng did not pay attention to the Trojan, extending his right hand instead.

"I thought you wouldn’t say goodbye to me." A smile spread across Yin Shangwu’s face as she clasped Tang Zheng’s hand and leaned forward to give him a hug. "I’m sorry, but I won’t help you revive your comrades, simply because I’ve grown tired of life here."

Tang Zheng didn’t answer, he just felt Yin Shangwu slip a card into his pocket.

"Hold on to it. It might help you survive, but sometimes I think death might be salvation." Yin Shangwu released Tang Zheng and patted his shoulder. "Take care."

"Trojan, I choose the first option, to leave the game completely." Yin Shangwu made a summoning gesture.

"Please seal away your personal belongings. In one minute, the Silver Trojan will reclaim the secured belongings!"

"The teleportation countdown begins. In two minutes, survivor Yin Shangwu will leave the Trojan Room."

Under the gaze of a group of survivors, Yin Shangwu quietly tidied up her equipments, then suddenly pulled out SABER.

"A parting gift. Even though she is an anime girl, she can be used to roll in the sheets, if you know what I mean." Yin Shangwu waved her hand. As her body finally disappeared as spots of light in the room, she didn’t forget to tease Tang Zheng one last time. (To be continued.
