Chapter 589: Chapter 54 - Evaluation and Scoring

With the souls of Ramses II and Nefertari sealed within the Soul Ring, the mission was finally completed. However, it wasn’t over yet. Only when they returned to the Trojan Room would they be considered alive. Now, everyone in the Trojan Squad was seriously injured except for the constantly hiding Chen Hong and Pang Meiqin. Qin Yan, Lu Fan, and Ai Yixin all passed out due to exhaustion, on the verge of death at any moment.

Chu Baichuan was nailed to the wall and lacked the strength to get down. Yu Manli had broken her leg and was sweating profusely from the pain in her head. Xu Liangmao hadn’t contributed to the fight just now, but he was ruthless enough to forcefully bandage his wound without any anesthesia in order to suppress the bleeding and survive. Otherwise, even if the little loli made it back alive, it would cost a thousand points.

"Meiqin, go and administer first aid to them." Tang Zheng tossed the Sweet Spring Potion over to her. He didn’t expect it to save lives, just needed it to replenish enough vitality to last eight seconds because teleportation required three. As for the order of saving people, it was needless to say. Pang Meiqin would undoubtedly choose Qin Yan and Lu Fan. Saying it out loud might even provoke dissatisfaction from people like Dantai.

Upon seeing that Tang Zheng didn’t reprimand her, Pang Meiqin took a sigh of relief. As for saving others, she would naturally pick those she was close to first.

"Tang Zheng, what’s happening?" Aima ran to Tang Zheng’s side, ready to stem his bleeding, only to see Dantai and Ai Yixin’s bodies gradually disappearing.

"We completed our mission and are about to leave. Also, ten million British pounds have been deposited into the bank account you gave me. It’s a compensation for your psychological loss. Live well and enjoy a peaceful life." Tang Zheng touched Aima’s cheek as his own leg and left hand started to disappear.

"Will I ever see you again?" Aima cried, holding onto Tang Zheng and kissing him on the lips. Seeing that his hair was beginning to disappear, she bit him suddenly, then took off her Soul Ring that she had worn for sixteen years and slipped it onto his middle finger.

"Remember me... Always." Aima held Tang Zheng’s hand, having much more to say, but the Trojan wouldn’t allow her the time.

"Get away from the temple quickly. Be careful." Pang Meiqin shot a glance at Aima and muttered to herself, ’You will never see Tang Zheng again. He’s mine.’

Eight seconds later, all members of the Hammer Squad were teleported back to the Trojan Room. The pale white wall was still chilling, but it brought a familiar feeling to everyone, for seeing it meant that they were still alive.

"Trojan, treat everyone quickly!" Pang Meiqin roared. In just a short time, a considerable amount of blood had pooled on the floor.

The black cube floated in mid-air, emitting white light that enveloped everyone. No matter how severe the injuries were, they began to heal rapidly.

The breathing of Qin Yan and Lu Fan stabilized, and their skin became smooth and delicate, their muscles filling with vitality.

"Wife." Just as the white light dissipated, Chu Baichuan rushed towards Ai Yixin. Her belly was back to its full roundness, but it only made Chu Baichuan feel a pang of regret.

"I knew you could do it." Lin Weiguo took a deep breath, his heart still racing, and gave Tang Zheng a thumbs up.

"The feeling of waiting to die was horrible, plus the pain. I was so close to committing suicide." Xu Biyun leaned against the wall, panting, her eyes full of the dreadful sight of nearly everybody dying.

"Hehe, Fanfan came back to life again." After the white light flashed, the little loli jumped up, her hands on her waist, and she defiantly looked at the Trojan, "Bastard, you gave us wrong information! Why don’t you go to hell!"

"The information was correct. Even if you killed Pharaoh within the time limit, you would still be wiped out, because the condition to pass is to seal the queen." The Trojan looked at Tang Zheng, lamenting, "Your decision was not bad. If you shot Ramses’ soul with buckshot at the end, the mission would surely fail."

"Uncle is indeed the best." Lu Fan ran two steps, then threw herself into Tang Zheng’s arms.

"No, the best performer in this round of the game is indeed Tang Zheng, but another important person is Meiqin. Without her S-grade artifact breaking Pharaoh’s defense, even if Tang Zheng could kill Pharaoh, it would most likely be beyond the time limit." The Trojan suddenly looked at Pang Meiqin with a smile, "I’ve said it before, the ones most likely to reach the ’holy land’ are Qin Yan with her enhanced luck and Meiqin, who is the most suited for survival here."

Seeing everyone’s eyes shift to her, Pang Meiqin immediately felt awkward. In her heart, she scolded Trojan for being uncouth and revealing her trump card.

"Meiqin, I never would have guessed. You sure hid that well." Lu Fan had always disliked her, so naturally, she would ridicule her when she had the chance, "That S-grade artifact, you picked it up from the body of the Conquerors in the last round, didn’t you?"

"So, what if it is?" Pang Meiqin took out a metal ball and threw it to Lu Fan, "Here, for you."

"S-grade artifact, Mechanical Centipede, has no attack and defense power of its own, but once it enters the target’s body, any kind of defense and immunity will be removed. Furthermore, the more the Mechanical Centipede enters the target’s body, the lower the target’s defense power." Lu Fan looked at the introductions above and deliberately read them aloud for everyone to hear, "Stingy, you have more of these, right? "

"Rubbish, I obviously wouldn’t give up the mother-body. It took me half a month to raise just five, of course I need to keep them for my use." Pang Meiqin muttered, and saw Lu Fan about to throw it back, fearing that he might ask for the mother-body, so she hastily said, "It’s yours."

"That’s more like it, fine, it’s just a chicken rib anyway. I don’t have the time to hide and wait for the Mechanical Centipede to crawl into the enemy’s body." Lu Fan unceremoniously handed it to Yu Manli, "You did well, keep it up next time. Combining close combat with this prop should allow for surprise attacks."

"Alright, it’s understandable what Meiqin did." Qin Yan didn’t want to bicker too much, at least it’s much better than Ai Yixin throwing her life away.

"Exactly, I don’t have seed abilities, my own strength is weak, just like Ai Yixin, foolishly rushing up. It not only wouldn’t help, but also leads to a dead end." Pang Meiqin seemed resentful and defended herself, "I did hide, but it’s also me who blew up the Pharaoh’s head."

Upon hearing Pang Meiqin belittle his wife, Chu Baichuan was about to get upset but was stopped by Ai Yixin.

"Meiqin did fine this time." Tang Zheng stopped them from arguing, "I don’t care what you have done, but as long as you have put effort into the team, everyone’s recognition can be earned."

Everyone stopped arguing, they agreed with Tang Zheng’s words, and they also admired Pang Meiqin a little bit. No matter what, survival is the only goal, and getting as many points as possible, that is the true strength.

"Chen Hong, it will depend on your performance next time, if you keep evading, think about the consequences yourself." Tang Zheng glanced at the absent Chen Hong, and looked at Ruan Feifei, who was hiding in the corner. This female host actually managed to survive and return, but it seemed that she had been having a hard time these past few days, though she wasn’t injured, she was filthy.

"Yes, yes, I won’t dare anymore, I’ll definitely fight my hardest." Chen Hong quickly assured.

"I was wrong, I’ll definitely serve the team, my electrocution ability is very useful." Having been a robber for a few days, hiding here and there and sleeping in garbage dumps and under bridges, Ruan Feifei was truly scared, especially seeing the Trojan Squad all heavily injured, her confidence that she could survive all by herself vanished instantly.

"Remember what you said." Tang Zheng warned her and ignored her, "Trojan, start scoring."

"I will definitely remember." Seeing that she’d passed this crisis, Ruan Feifei let out a long sigh of relief, wondering what monster they had encountered. They were all badly injured, and she knew that the main forces within the squad could easily annihilate her, the female host decided to listen to Tang Zheng’s words until her own experience and strength increased.

The Black Cube’s screen displayed the survivors’ portraits, began to spin, and then finally settled on Chen Hong.

"Self-centered old star, cowardly, incompetent, wanted to sell her body but thinks too highly of herself, wanted to sell at a higher price, unfortunately, you are too stupid, not everything can be obtained just by having a pretty face, IQ is an incurable flaw, holding onto Tang Zheng’s thigh is your only correct decision, 300 points awarded, one Black Iron Seed, D-level evaluation."

"Only 300 points? Can I get a little more?" Chen Hong looked at the Trojan warily and started to bargain, absolutely no integrity.

"Haha, 300 points, this seems to be the lowest score I’ve seen since I entered the Trojan Room. Chen Hong, can you be any more stupid?" Pang Meiqin mocked the old star who tried to seduce Tang Zheng with laughter. She scored 400 points on her first attempt, now that there was someone even more stupid, she naturally had to mock them.

"Hmph, is 300 points a small amount? At least she survived and returned, she still has a chance. Don’t forget the damned soul that reaped everyone who didn’t contribute and didn’t score 200 basic points." Lu Fan continued to criticize Pang Meiqin; her high score was her bargaining chip.

"I will work hard in the future." Chen Hong started to make promises again.

"The proud and arrogant female host, looks down on everyone, thinks they are all stupid and only she’s elite. Well, you are skilled at turning your beauty and abilities into assets, coupled with your excellent tactics to seize benefits, the results are not bad, you are a successful woman. I look forward to your upcoming performance in the game, 900 points awarded, Black Iron Seed as a reward, C-level evaluation."

Ruan Feifei took a glance at the screen, then covertly glanced at the expressions of others, seeing no abnormalities, she felt a little relieved. She had many questions to ask in order to adapt to this game, but now she didn’t dare to disturb anyone.

"Mature woman Yu, you can bend and stretch, knows her own role, are very skilled in dealing with people, always hiding your real thoughts, making people feel comfortable, willing to get along. The most important point is you always examine yourself, knowing how to survive better. Truly, forty years were not spent in vain, you’ve saved up a hefty family business, which is the best proof. But don’t you think it’s too tiring, living with a mask on? That might become the only thing you regret after death, 1,600 points awarded, one Bronze Seed as a reward, B-level evaluation."

"Impressive, the Trojan rarely compliments people." Lu Fan looked at Yu Manli with a beaming smile, having a good impression of her. Of course, if she dared to take advantage of uncle, she had to be killed off as soon as possible. (To be continued.
