Everyone instantly felt the quick wit and intelligence of Invincible Black Whirlwind.
By first mentioning that the Sea God's Scepter required 5,000 points, she immediately made the decision for everyone: either go all in or don't invest at all. Otherwise, they would easily end up with nothing on both ends.
If they chose not to invest just to play it safe, wouldn't her words clearly create a rift between them and their teammates? This was a path of survival where trust between people was already pitifully thin; provoking them like this would sooner or later cause problems.
Moreover, what Invincible Black Whirlwind said made perfect sense. It was a rare opportunity to obtain the Sea God's Scepter; missing it now meant who knew how long they would have to wait for another chance.
Even if they couldn't get first place across the entire server, getting into the top 10 would yield plenty of rich rewards.
Qi Xu could tell from everyone's expressions that they were all tempted, just a bit too afraid to take the gamble.
Shadowkill suddenly spoke up to clarify his stance, I'm willing to invest all 5,000 points, and I'm willing to take a gamble to help my brother earn a chance to upgrade his vehicle to level 8.
The burly man they had first met in the secret realm had some doubts and asked, What if someone doesn't invest, doesn't care about their teammates' or friends' opinions, and only thinks about splitting the final rewards, taking advantage of everyone else in the process? What do we do then?
Qi Xu answered without hesitation, I came up with this plan, so I am willing to take responsibility. If someone really wants to take advantage, I have Truth Grass in my hands. When the total prize pool is revealed, if the numbers don't add up, I will question everyone one by one. I hope everyone will cooperate.
As long as we find this person, I am willing to hunt you down all the way to your server region. Plunder cards aren't exactly rare either. If you scam us out of our points, you'll pay us back with your life and all your supplies. When the time comes, I'll split those things equally with everyone.
Qi Xu wasn't naturally the type to take the lead and stir things up, but this was the Master Gathering! She knew very well what the most correct way to play was.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Shaoning, Shadowkill, and Jinwen Xingmangyue tacitly expressed their agreement at the same time.
Hunting them down, right? Count me in, my skills are decent enough.
Interesting. Scam our points and pay with your life.
Well said, Boss Whirlwind.
Fortune God's Only Daughter couldn't help but jump up, How can she have such a smart little brain! So this is the correct way to open the Master Gathering! In just a few short minutes, leadership, intelligence, and martial prowess were all fully displayed!
A-Bian also proudly sent a bullet comment, Boss is awesome.
Qi Xu clearly felt the bullet comments above her increase. Although some comments were calling her arrogant, what she needed right now was discussion. She would have plenty of time later to prove whether she was just talking big.
If anyone has objections, bring them up now and we'll resolve them. Don't try to play any petty tricks later.
Wolf Warrior 005 also spoke up, I agree with Invincible Black Whirlwind's plan. Everyone uniformly invests 5,000. If we find anyone playing tricks, even after the Master Gathering ends, they will be hunted down by everyone else. I trust we don't have any such weirdos among us?
Knowing they could get 10,000 points, none of the players wanted to settle for just 5,000. Everyone looked at each other defensively, but no one said a word. The 10 minutes of discussion time passed in a flash.
Everyone uniformly invested their points. When the total prize pool displayed 60,000, everyone breathed a sigh of relief... Who would have thought it would succeed so easily?
Qi Xu was also a bit surprised. If she remembered correctly, the total prize pool in the last round of the game was only a few thousand. It seemed her previous words had hit the mark. For anyone to make it to this point, who didn't have a few supporters behind them?
If they had reached this stage and were still sneaking around, afraid to contribute, even if they got a guild card, how many people would sincerely want to join them? After all, no one was a fool.
After a brief thought, Qi Xu suddenly noticed the girl in the corner again. She was trembling even more violently. When they occasionally made eye contact, her eyes were filled with fear towards Qi Xu.
Qi Xu was completely baffled. Wasn't she just shy a moment ago? Why was she suddenly afraid? What caused this sudden change?
Just as Qi Xu was wondering, the girl suddenly moved. She changed positions and stood behind Xie Shaoning, who was closest to her.
Xie Shaoning was slightly taken aback. He looked back at her and, sensing that she seemed to be trembling, didn't move away. Instead, he offered a word of comfort, Don't be afraid. You're already here participating, so being scared now won't help. Stay calm and adjust your mindset.
Qi Xu also shifted her stance slightly, which allowed her to see clearly. The girl cast a look of disgust at the man standing directly in front of Xie Shaoning.
Before Qi Xu had time to think more about it, the announcement sounded.
[Congratulations to everyone for successfully making your choices. The Master Gathering officially begins. Since it is a gathering, how can we do without fun and games? Next, please make your choice.]
[Dice / Poker]
Cheese Milk Cap 80% Sugar's eyes instantly lit up, and she mouthed four words to Qi Xu.
Qi Xu had also roughly guessed it when the two game modes were revealed just now, and she nodded without changing her expression.
Just as she was about to make her choice, Jinwen Xingmangyue and Xie Shaoning both leaned in. Which one are we choosing?
Qi Xu paused, tilting her head in confusion. We?
You're not planning to leave us out, are you? I even saw Black Cheese talking to you...
Qi Xu helplessly whispered, If we choose the same group, we'll end up as opponents.
The two widened their eyes dramatically. Then what are you choosing?
Good heavens, they really changed the question, but only by a single word.
Qi Xu hesitated for a moment before answering, Poker, I guess. The rules and types are actually pretty similar. Just pick whichever one you like.
Jinwen Xingmangyue and Xie Shaoning immediately understood. We're picking dice!
The bullet comments were already going crazy with laughter.
Why does it feel like Invincible Black Whirlwind is so helpless? Yet she indulges them so much...
Are they playing Liar's Bar? There's both dice and poker, plus this surrounding environment.
The 12 people were divided among three tables in total. Exactly 4 people chose dice, and 8 people chose poker.
They were grouped according to the order of their choices. After everyone finished choosing, they sat down in sequence according to their numbers. The moment they sat down, the nicknames above everyone's heads all materialized.
Qi Xu observed the other three people in her group. On her left, the previous player was Master Huixin. Opposite her was Shadowkill. She didn't recognize the person on her right; his nickname was HandsomeBoyMe188, who was exactly the man the girl had just been glaring at with disgust.
He kept looking back and forth between Qi Xu and Shadowkill, and even asked in a somewhat relaxed tone, You two know each other, right? You seem pretty familiar. Good thing you two aren't sitting together, otherwise you could cheat.
[Cheaters will die.]
