Chapter 653: Chapter 1: The Resurrection of Li Xinlan

"Conqueror Tang Zheng, your total point count is 11126. You’ve reached the milestone of ten thousand points. Congratulations!"

After making the announcement, the Trojan displayed three options on the screen, waiting for his decision.

"Only four thousand five hundred points?" Tang Zheng complained, though deep down he let out a sigh of relief. It felt as though he’d swallowed the heart dangling in his throat. If he hadn’t reached ten thousand points, he would’ve been bitterly disappointed.

"You should be content, maintaining this rate of strong scoring, and in three more rounds, you will be able to leave this godforsaken Trojan Room, and regain your freedom." Pang Meiqin was envious, a hint of crisis awareness creeping into her heart. If Tang Zheng were to leave, there would be no one left to tolerate her "shadow work."

"We always end up seriously injured. The necessary body repairs cost too many points, it’s too much of a loss." Dantai sighed. He still needed to earn a lot more points to leave the game; every point was being spent sparingly, and even that didn’t seem to be enough.

"Tang Zheng, just select the first option and get the hell out. The Trojan Room doesn’t welcome you!" The Trojan vented its displeasure. "Since you came in, this brutal competition game surprisingly has rules, even some warmth. This is absolutely ruining my pleasure. I haven’t seen Conquerors abusing newbies, treating them like slaves, and Conquerors backstabbing each other for a long time. How boring."

The expressions of the Conquerors changed drastically, clearly startled by the Trojan’s words. They then gradually appreciated the benefits brought about by Tang Zheng’s magnanimous leadership. If it weren’t for him, their circumstances would be a hundred times worse than they are now. After all, in the Trojan Horse Game, strength reigns supreme - it’s a kill-or-be-killed space. As for law and morality? Let’s discuss that when you iive to see another day and regain control over your own life.

"In this world, the weak never have a say, and they don’t need any sympathy. So, Tang Zheng, hurry up and be gone. We don’t need a non-conformist here." The Trojan scoffed at Tang Zheng, earnestly persuading him to leave.

Everyone turned to look at Tang Zheng, awaiting his decision. To be honest, apart from Mei Jueye, no one wanted him to leave. But they couldn’t voice their regrets because it would seem too selfish.

"Tang Zheng, you won’t actually choose to resurrect someone, right? That would be too foolish. You don’t owe anyone anything. Just leave. Next time you might meet your end here. This game is harsh enough without having to deal with a malicious Silver Trojan. It’s really such a pain." Chu Baichuan rattled off without thinking. Ai Yixin elbowed him hard in the ribs, making him wince and register the pain.

"Shut up." Ai Yixin glared at him. If Tang Zheng were to leave, their circumstances as a couple would undoubtedly become several times more difficult.

"Bai Guo, these two weapons suit you. Perform well!" Tang Zheng handed the Strong Energy Particle Pistol and Dragon’s Sharp Edge to Bai Guo.

"These are too valuable. I can’t take them." Bai Guo caught them and glancing at them, her face looked a bit unnatural. She timidly passed them back to Tang Zheng.

"Damn, two S-grades! Tang Zheng, you’re indeed generous." Chu Baichuan was filled with envy. He didn’t even have a single S-grade prop.

"Idiot." Pang Meiqin sneered, her heart filled with jealousy. She knew she wouldn’t receive such treatment.

"Sister Bai Guo, just take them. Coupled with your invisibility ability, they will be very powerful." Lu Fan looked at Bai Guo grinningly. "Remember, some of the credit goes to me."

"How about giving the dagger to Uncle Lin? My melee abilities are quite weak." Bai Guo was a bit shy, doubting her ability to fully exploit the power of these weapons.

"You want Uncle Lin, a true tough guy, to stab people with a dagger? That’s funny. Don’t worry. Tang Zheng will certainly find a great weapon for Uncle Lin one day." Xu Biyun looked at the Dragon’s Sharp Edge with envy, licked her lips, and felt that Lin Weiguo should be more of a defensive soldier, not an offensive thief with dual daggers.

"Alright, I’m going to resurrect someone now. Gentlemen, please step aside." Tang Zheng had long made up his mind, and he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Li Xinlan was the first woman who believed in and supported him. For her trust, it was worth spending ten thousand points.

The high school student glanced at Tang Zheng and teleported out. To deal with the upcoming troubles, he had many tools to prepare.

"Baichuan, you can go home and cook for now. I want to watch the process of resurrecting people." Fearing that Lu Fan might leave early, Ai Yixin swiftly sent her husband away.

"What’s there to see?" Chu Baichuan didn’t understand, but he never refused his wife’s requests, so he teleported out.

"Lu Fan, could you lend me the Silver Revolver?" Ai Yixin leaned against the wall, brushed back a strand of hair from her forehead, and called little Lolita over with a smile.

"No way, you’re really planning to gamble with less than a one-in-six chance?"

"Do I have another choice? I know Baichuan really wants this child, and I don’t want to get rid of him either." Ai Yixin let out a bitter smile, although she soon looked relieved, patting her stomach. She was bathed in a motherly glow.

"But, but what if you die?" Lu Fan stuttered. At this critical moment, she became frightened. "That’s a price of two lives for one!"

"Then this only shows that I have bad luck!" Ai Yixin stretched out her hand towards Lu Fan, reporting a phone number, "Don’t hesitate. If I die, make a call and tell him not to revive me or I’ll hate him for the rest of my life."

"Save that for you to tell him in person, Uncle?" Lu Fan frustratedly ran his fingers through his hair, uncertain of what to do. He then handed the decision-making authority to Tang Zheng.

"Tang Zheng, I can’t continue to be a burden, sorry for causing you trouble," Ai Yixin’s voice was very determined. "There is no difference between dying sooner or later. Perhaps when I die, Bai Chuan can get out of this game faster."

"Since you’ve decided, just go for it." Tang Zheng didn’t offer any empty promises of helping them. He’s not that kind of hypocritical person. "Good luck!"

"You still have the chance to give up." Lu Fan brought out the Silver Revolver that Yin Shangwu had given her, along with five bullets. "Load the bullets yourself. I don’t dare to do it for you."

Ai Yixin silently took the revolver, scanned the usage instructions with her Wristwatch and then opened the bullet nest. She loaded it with the five bullets and aimed it at her own forehead.

Seeing this feisty woman, Pang Meiqin didn’t think of her as a burden anymore and sincerely hoped she could survive.

"I was thinking about having Zhajiang noodles tonight!"

The other women of the Trojan Squad did not leave. Hearing this nonsensical mutter, they were initially taken aback. When they refocused, they saw Ai Yixin’s arm hanging down, her entire person appearing weak, leaning against the wall.

"Congratulations!" Tang Zheng never moved his gaze and saw the exact moment when Ai Yixin pulled the trigger. That decisiveness leaves some men in the dust. If she hadn’t been slowed down by her pregnancy, she might have had a chance to survive till the end.

The folded S-Class Firefly Protective Clothing was teleported to Ai Yixin. She caught it and stroked it, tears unconsciously streaming down her face. She knew that with the addition of the firefly, her child could have more hope of survival.

"Your baby will be born soon, right? It will be less difficult when the time comes!" Kneeling next to Ai Yixin, Lu Fan gently poked her belly as he comforted her.

"Two more months." Ai Yixin seemed joyful, only to be stunned by a careless remark from Pang Meiqin in the next moment.

"Would the baby be considered an outsider upon birth, or a survivor of the Trojan Room? It won’t require ten thousand points to leave alive, right?"

"Trojan, answer this question." Seeing Ai Yixin’s trembling lips and her anxious appearance, Qin Yan asked on her behalf.

"Sorry, I can’t answer that. Let’s wait until Ai Yixin gives birth. Ha-ha, if you time your due date to happen in the middle of the game, that would be amusing." It was clear that Trojan wanted this couple to endure mental torment until they finally fell apart.

"I’ll offer one hundred points to help her inquire about this answer!" Tang Zheng’s generosity touched the women. Chen Hong was even dying of jealousy, thinking how lucky Ai Yixin was.

"You really are a softy, making me feel inferior. Alright, considering your ability to get ten thousand points continuously, I will give you a small discount. If the baby is born, it will be considered a survivor of the Trojan Room, and would also need ten thousand points to leave."

The harsh truth from Trojan plunged everyone into despair. The women were silent, believing that this family of three had little chance of leaving the Trojan Room. Ai Yixin was on the verge of being wiped out because she hadn’t gotten enough basic points in the first round. Just to get her another chance at life, Chu Baichuan had to raise his exit points to twenty thousand. Plus the baby and his wife, that’s a horrifying forty thousand points. Moreover, in order to survive, they must buy props. By estimation, they must survive more than ten games without dying. Resurrection would be a huge cost.

If they were in this situation, the women felt they’d already be in despair, secretly finding a place to cry. They had initially intended to comfort Ai Yixin, but found that she didn’t shed a single tear. The corners of her mouth were lifted in a smile as she thanked everyone.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Bai Chuan and I will try our best. Tang Zheng, hurry up and resurrect Li Xinlan. She must be really anxious already." Ai Yixin had already gathered all the information about Tang Zheng, including every step of his journey.

"Trojan, I’ll pay ten thousand points to resurrect Li Xinlan!"

As before, all the deceased survivors were listed on the screen. Ruan Feifei saw her colleague and the prisoners who had died this round. She didn’t feel relieved, but rather very sad. She could also end up as one of the inconspicuous avatars. Who would resurrect her then?

At this moment, looking at the closeup image of the young woman occupying the entire screen, the women envied her good luck while Chen Hong became even more determined to cling onto Tang Zheng.

Like a printer spitting out paper, a red light shot out from the tip of the Trojan and formed Li Xinlan from her feet to her thighs, then her chest and each hair strand. After twenty seconds, Li Xinlan was revived before everyone’s eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
