"Really? How is that even possible?" Yi Ting was on the brink of madness, questioning why other people’s luck turned out to be this good.

Under Yi Ting’s incredulous gaze, the flesh at Zi Xin’s head and neck stump started to slowly move. Within a minute, the brain pulp, gums, skull, and even hair had all regrown. The sight made Yi Ting, accustomed as she was to seeing corpses, feel a wave of nausea, a strong urge to vomit.

Zi Xin sat up, his face clouded with confusion, his memories gradually returning. This needed time.

"Zi Xin? Is it really you?" The molten steel in the stadium had lost control due to Zhuo Lie’s death and had completely solidified. The entire area now bore the textured colors of metal reflecting the sunlight, exceptionally dazzling.

"Yes, I am. You’re actually still alive after I died? Tang Zheng really is a good person." Zi Xin’s voice was cold, his expression still emotionless as before. He focused his gaze and noticed Zhuo Lie’s half-buried body inlaid into the metallic ground.

Tears coursed down his cheeks, but Zi Xin made no move to wipe them away. Silently, he stood and walked towards it.

Yi Ting jumped at Zi Xin’s words, fearing blame for not lending her aid. She didn’t relax until she saw that he had no intention of picking a quarrel with her.

"Were you also shot in the head?" Zi Xin crouched next to Zhuo Lie’s mutilated corpse, gently touching it. He then took out a dagger and began stabbing it into the steel ground repeatedly, intending to pry Zhuo Lie’s body out and bring it back to the Trojan Room.

"How come you can resurrect after dying? Is it a prop? Or an ability?" Yi Ting was intrigued. More intel was always a good thing.

Zi Xin had entered the Trojan Room even earlier than Yi Ting. She didn’t know how he was related to Zhuo Lie but their relationship seemed extraordinarily strong. She even once mistook them for being homosexual. However, after spending more time with the two men, who had a twenty-year age gap between them, she realized they were definitely not in that kind of relationship.

Zi Xin didn’t answer, just concentrating on cutting through the steel plate.

"Trojan, can we teleport yet?" Yi Ting, getting nowhere with Zi Xin, glared at him and called out to Trojan. She didn’t know that Zi Xin could resurrect due to a reward he obtained in a certain game for delivering the fatal blow to the final BOSS.

"Zhuo Lie, I will resurrect you." Seeing his arm begin to disappear, Zi Xin stopped his futile attempt, sitting on the floor, gazing at Zhuo Lie, he made a promise.

"Why did you not tell Zhuo Lie your secret of resurrection? If he had known, he wouldn’t have had to perish with Tang Zheng’s team." Yi Ting thought Zhuo Lie’s death was a bit unjust. But after deeper thought, even if Zi Xin hadn’t died, Tang Zheng probably wouldn’t have spared the guy who had ambushed him.

Zi Xin’s face twisted for the first time. If it wasn’t for the restriction that he couldn’t disclose it to anyone else, would he have kept it a secret? To use such a game-breaking reward like ’resurrection’, the user usually had to pay some kind of price. For instance, Tang Zheng possessed a team mission exemption card, but who knows what price he might have to pay if he used it.

"I’m looking forward to that day." Zi Xin bit his lip, placing Tang Zheng on his kill list. He then began to worry about future games. In addition to the restriction of not disclosing his resurrection ability, his prophetic ability would also start to frequently fail in the next scenario.

Seeing once again the four icy pale walls and the eternally closed door in the Trojan Room, the survivors collapsed to the floor, heaving deeply. Pang Meiqin even let out a cry.

"Silver Trojan, start healing us now."

"Toys, congratulations on killing the Queen and clearing the Mechanical Labyrinth. You have returned safely. Commencing body treatment now."

This time, Silver Trojan didn’t waste time chatting. The black cube floated mid-air, emitting a white beam that shrouded the survivors. Regardless of the severity of their injuries, they immediately started to heal.

Lu Fan and Li Xinlan had the worst injuries. Their ragged breathing stabilized, their skin becoming soft and smooth again, even the little Lolita’s exploded eyeball began to regenerate.

Three seconds later, the white light vanished, and everyone was restored to their original state.

"Hehe, Fanfan has survived once more!" The little Lolita sprang up and dove into Tang Zheng’s arms, hugging him tightly as she rubbed her cheek against his chest like a little kitten.

"Who’s this? They’ve even saved this bastard Mei Jueye?" The boy with middle school second syndrome saw the high schooler sitting in the corner as he sat up. A surge of anger washed over him, and he strode angrily towards him, not having forgotten how the jerk had used him as a meat shield and thrown him into the Queen’s clutches.

Yao Feng just managed to grab Mei Jueye’s collar when he was shaken off, his arm twisted behind his back and pressed to the ground.

"Let me go quickly, else you’ll regret it." Yao Feng blustered angrily, threatening Mei Jueye. His other arm moved backward, trying to grab the high schooler.

Dantai face-palmed. This lackey Tang Zheng had taken was truly dense, no wonder he couldn’t activate his Seed Ability.

"Enough, let him go." Tang Zheng frowned, not interested in the commotion, and realizing that Mei Jueye had to go. Indeed, the high school student was not only ruthless toward others but also himself. Plus, he had resourcefulness and luck on his side, always managing to hold on.

As told, Mei Jueye let go of the middle school student, silently returned to his corner, hugged his knees and rested his chin on them. He was indeed a bit mad, but he wasn’t stupid, not seeking trouble for himself.

"A barking dog never bites, but this guy is really annoying." Pang Meiqin was somewhat wary of Mei Jueye’s ability and planned to provoke Chu Baichuan to kill him. However, considering Ai Yixin’s intelligence, she put the thought aside, realizing that if she continued, she would alienate herself from the group as the Beautiful Leg Stewardess.

"I...I didn’t mean to, I didn’t think about helping him, I don’t know why I saved him? It’s like my body isn’t under my control." Sister Hong cried out nervously, afraid of being misunderstood by Tang Zheng. She had fully understood the importance of the group leader now, leaving him would spell certain death.

"Mei Jueye, don’t give me a reason to get rid of you!" Tang Zheng glared at the high school student and scanned everyone in the room. Everyone who had survived the last round was still alive, and to his surprise, four newcomers from this round were also still alive: Jing Xiang, Sister Hong, Yao Feng, and a young girl named Cheng Cheng.

"Hey hey, what are you guys doing? You disregard Silver Trojan? So many toys survived, are you forcing me to activate a massive cleansing scenario?" The Silver Trojan spun around, exclaiming in shock, and agitating the others.

Sure enough, their expressions grimaced at the mention of a ’massive cleansing’.

"Trojan, remember the bet we made before we entered the game? They’re still alive now, you should honor the bet." Pang Meiqin was only interested in the amount of points she could get from this, it meant a guarantee for her life.

"Was there such an agreement?" The Trojan started to tease them again, and seeing their angry faces brought him immense joy, "Alright, let me see who’s still alive, Ai Yixin, Cheng Cheng, Mei Jueye, Yao Feng... there are four, impressive. Good guy Tang, it seems like you’ve decided to continue to play the saint, huh?"

Tang Zheng did not respond, he didn’t mind letting the Trojan compliment him, it might give him a favorable impression. As for playing a saint? He didn’t have such intention, he just helped whenever he could.

"Hmm, I’m looking forward to you receiving a dozen good person cards." The Trojan felt uninterested with no reaction from Tang Zheng, "Reward points have been distributed. Now let’s start rating."

Portraits of the survivors flickered on the screen like a carousel, then stopped at Yao Feng’s.

"The middle-school student with the illusion of grandeur, IQ is below average. Basically, he’s an idiot. Life experience is bland, being alive is truly just because he clung onto Tang Zheng’s coattails. Oh yes, you actually like Pang Meiqin, the Trojan must salute your strange taste and courage. You scored eight hundred points, rewarded one Black Iron Seed, D-level evaluation."

It was clearly the first time the middle-school student was on the receiving end of the Silver Trojan’s poisonous tongue, he was a bit dazed, then he was stunned by the Trojan revealing his feelings for Pang Meiqin.

"Haha, how could I like Sister Meiqin." The middle school student scratched his hair, making dandruff fly everywhere. He was very embarrassed, pretending to be indifferent, looking left and right, but in actuality, he kept glancing at Pang Meiqin. Only after confirming that she didn’t frown at his denial, did the middle school student quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"You’ve addressed her as Sister Meiqin and you’re still saying you don’t like her?" Yao Feng’s subtle action was all caught by the eyes of the survivors. Except for natural fools like Bai Guo, even Lu Fan could tell he indeed liked the Beautiful Leg Stewardess.

"Eh, why are you guys laughing?" This natural fool, Bai Guo, really had an IQ problem, truly all the nutrients went to her giant ~ breasts.

"Sister Hong, mediocre looks, mediocre physical condition, mediocre mannerisms, mediocre personality, ah, and a mediocre life. It’s okay, as long as you can survive the Trojan Horse Game, all these will improve. Becoming a queen is not impossible either. Five hundred points are yours, rewarded one Black Iron Seed, D-level evaluation."

Sister Hong looked awkward, this evaluation was indeed garbage and embarrassing. She was about to say something to lighten the mood, but the Trojan added another comment, draining her face of all color.

"Oh by the way, Sister Hong, I’m not optimistic about your chances, the next round will likely have a 99% mortality rate."

Sister Hong was scared and fell to the floor as her legs gave way.

"The Trojan likes to bring us down, you totally don’t need to pay attention to it." Tang Zheng helped Sister Hong up, "Take a break on the side."

"Yo, Good guy Tang, when did you change your taste? Started to like mature women?"

"Continue with the scores, I’m waiting to go home and sleep." Tang Zheng gave the Trojan a cold look.

"Alright, I won’t reveal your oddities anymore." After teasing Tang Zheng, the Trojan continued the game. This time, the portrait stopped at Jing Xiang.

"Seems to be a reserved Eastern woman, too shy and lacks decisiveness. But your survival strategy is right, you should team up with Yu Manli, maybe you can survive for a few more rounds. Also, your ability is pretty good. Even if you lose your job, you can become a Catwoman, even makeup won’t be necessary. You scored eight hundred points, rewarded one Black Iron Seed, D-level evaluation."

Jing Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, this evaluation wouldn’t embarrass her too much.

"Jing Xiang’s Seed Ability is of the Beast System, she can beastify into a Catwoman form, enhancing her strength and agility. The sharp claws allow her to climb vertical walls, she would make a good scout." (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote or recommend.
