Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Equal-Level Confrontation

Player 18 showed no change in expression, raising his hand first to select the black ball.

The countdown hadn’t ended, yet Player 95 continued pleading desperately. The key to the game was who was randomly chosen, and the only one capable of affecting the outcome was Player 18 across from him.

Regardless of whether he was kowtowing or crying, Player 18 remained silent. Finally, at the host’s reminder, he had no choice but to crawl over and choose the black ball.

Then the projection spheres on both sides began to flicker alternately, stopping on the black sphere on Player 95’s side five seconds later!

"Congratulations to Player 95 for landing the black ball task!"

The glass door behind Player 95 and the Peach Heart Squid glass cabinet opposite opened simultaneously. The moment the seawater came in, it was already too late for Player 95 to turn his backpack inside out for the diving gear. He was slammed against the central screen and was unquestionably covered by the large Peach Heart Squid. Within seconds, blood oozed out, and he lost his liveliness. A peach heart-shaped hole was left where his heart had been — his heart had been scooped out.

The main screen returned to the plaza. Player 18 was unscathed, but bloodstains still remained on the ground on the other side.

"How heartless," someone murmured under their breath.

Most people remained silent, having no alternative. The plaza’s floor showed how tough that glass was to break, players were locked in a narrow space with nowhere to hide, and if they couldn’t kill the piranhas quickly, wouldn’t they die too?

Yet, Player 18 laughingly said, "Players are a bit stronger than ordinary people, but this doesn’t mean we should take risks on behalf of others, right? All of us players are forced to come here, while you ordinary people came willingly to risk your lives for a better life in Sea World. Do you still want to shift all the risks onto others?"

His words were harsh, but nobody could rebut them. They hadn’t anticipated the dangers they would face here before coming here.

After two more rounds involving only players, the first group randomly got the white ball, and that player safely returned after killing a piranha. The second group chose to jointly complete the yellow ball task, causing the grounds on both sites to shrink simultaneously. The large screen in the middle wasn’t removed, so they each had to kill a Man-Eating Shark.

Even though they survived, no one felt relieved.

From the program’s agenda, it seemed they were supposed to kill until the end. Without a result in this round, the next round would be even more difficult. With over seventy people, not to mention one more round, even two more would be no problem. The real issue was their physical and prop exhaustion.

"It’s our Player 313’s turn again!" the host announced Xu Huo’s number, exclaiming, "Let’s see, how many people are willing to team up with him?"

When Xu Huo stepped in front of the large screen, almost all of the non-players voluntarily chose to team up, even jostling to secure a spot.

"Brother Yu, please pick me!" someone called out to him, "You help me this time, I’ll help you next time. I’m a straightforward person, I absolutely won’t go back on my word!"

"Bullshit! The person you got killed last round hasn’t even closed his eyes yet!" Another person pushed him away, "I swear on my mother’s name, I’ll handle the next task!"

Not only the non-players, but some players were also tempted.

This of course wasn’t because of Xu Huo’s trustworthiness, but his capability was well recognized, along with his "glorious deeds" of poisoning twelve piranhas. With him undertaking tasks, regardless of class or number of fish, there was no risk. If he was not at risk, he of course wouldn’t trouble others.

"So many people want to develop a friendship with Player 313, how enviable. Player 313, please choose one quickly," the host urged.

"I was injured during the previous rounds of tasks, and both my props and potions have been consumed," Xu Huo finally said. "I would like to find a friend who can share the risks."

That meant he couldn’t guarantee complete safety, so he wouldn’t choose the white ball but wanted a companion for the yellow ball task.

This was when his performance in the previous rounds really came into play. Even with his clear statement, most people were still willing.

Of course, among them were a few who were calculating their moves. Additionally, some players volunteered to cooperate after hearing his request. One of the burly players openly said, "Choosing the white ball would make it seem I’m taking advantage, I’m Lao Zhou, and I’m not so thick-skinned. Sharing hardships is what makes a true man!"

Another female player also said, "I’ve suffered considerable losses, consider this catching a ride with you."

Assuming he would choose the white ball and not step forward, when he opted for the yellow ball, the three players who wanted to team up appeared more sincere than other non-players.

"There’s me too, Brother Yu," Sha Jia said with a laugh and wave, You Si and he had no objections.

"Next round, then," Xu Huo smiled, his gaze falling on Xiaoxiao, who had been pushed to the side. "I need a friend."

That girl, low in spirit, was at first surprised to be suddenly called but quickly realized what this meant. She wiped away a tear and walked over resolutely, saying, "You were the first one to care about me in the car, thank you."

A powerless ordinary person willing to take this risk with a player implied she was ready to sacrifice her life for him. Perhaps this was just a good deed from a lost will to live, but to others, it represented her offering of friendship, and it was Xu Huo’s opportunity to succeed!

Suddenly, the wind arose in the plaza as Zhuang Mengtian, Gan Yi, Player 18, and Player 27 approached from different directions towards the big screen, their target being Xiaoxiao!

"Shameless!" You Si spat out the grass in his mouth and immediately stepped forward to intercept.

"I’ll take 18, you handle 27!" Sha Jia said right behind him.

The two quickly split up, but even though they could intercept the people, stopping the force of their props was much tougher, not to mention Zhuang Mengtian and Gan Yi!

They all moved fast, so fast that some players hadn’t even reacted, and the six were already closing in on Xiaoxiao!

Player speed. The targeted Xiaoxiao felt nothing until she noticed someone standing suddenly next to her and turned sharply, just catching sight of Xu Huo positioned two meters in front of her!

At that moment, Xu Huo had already utilized Spatial Power to traverse the plaza back and forth. He first kicked Gan Yi away and then returned to the screen side, using an Air Barrier to block props from Player 18 and Player 27. While unleashing the Spiritual World, he tossed out "Extreme Fatigue," "Progress Bar Disappearance," "Standardized Weightlessness," and "Murmur Sphere," slowing down the Zhuang Mengtian and others’ speed. Taking advantage of their brief hovering, he drew the "Eye of the Deceased," first severing one of Zhuang Mengtian’s hands, then using "Moving Metal" to block two hidden weapons from Player 18, who had gotten past Sha Jia. With a step, the spontaneously appearing spiral staircase lifted him and Xiaoxiao to safety!
