Lu Ce''s voice was calm, with a tone full of sarcasm, completely unfazed by the organizer''s mockery, and even mocking back.
He didn''t know why he was suddenly targeted, as if the game had taken a dislike to him, placing him in the spotlight.
They even revealed that he was a perfect clearance player.
But he didn''t see it as a problem; the more he was targeted, the more profitable it could be! Being targeted was an opportunity.
Risk always accompanies opportunity. A certain philosopher named Gao once said, "The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!"
Gao... Gao what? Let''s just say it was Gorky who said it.
[All the rewards in the game, the benefits of clearing it, are not given but earned or snatched.]
[What you can get depends on how far you can go.]
[Greed... you seem to adapt well to this mask.]
[But who knows, your soft heart might end up getting you killed.]
"I''m even soft-hearted now, the way you say it, I''m a bit moved myself. Why don''t you give me an award, an Achievement Badge?"
Lu Ce didn''t let the conversation drop, naturally retorting.
Watching Lu Ce and that unknown voice exchange barbs, the other four people around felt completely like outsiders.
They could only watch the expert exchange blows, not daring to speak up themselves.
Only now did they realize that there really was a difference between a perfect clearance and a normal clearance.
From the start, this big shot had been among the top tier, and now, their gazes toward him became more complex.
From initial fear and distance, there was now a bit more gratitude.
After all, although he was greedy and crazy, threatening them like a vampire, in the end, he did save their lives.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
If Lu Ce were truly a bloodthirsty maniac, he could have let them all die in the lava, with no need to help them cut their legs.
Yes, in this hellish game, cutting legs straightforwardly was indeed an act of mercy.
However, given the situation, no one planned to thank Lu Ce, the "great benefactor."
[Alright, the final test!]
[Loot Distribution Game! Everyone, cheer up, it''s time to reap the rewards.]
[Normal players, don''t be discouraged. In the next stage, you''ll be on the same level as that guy.]
[This is God''s game, a challenger''s gamble, where anything can happen. Don''t think you can''t do it; you can completely transform overnight.]
[Chosen''s Paradise welcomes your participation!]
The enticing voice rang out again, as if stirring the greed in people''s hearts, but it was clear that this message was still unfriendly to Lu Ce.
Clearly, it was trying to drive a wedge between Lu Ce and the others, as the upcoming game would certainly involve some competition among them.
Then, amidst the writhing and screeching of bugs, two pillars rose in front of each person, within arm''s reach, with a red and a green button on top.
Above the bug pillar, a scarlet number appeared.
—100!
[Loot Distribution Game is about to begin.]
[All of you have passed the Hell Trial, and should have directly received rewards, but the number of people passing the Hell Trial is unusually high.]
[So now, you will discuss among yourselves and allocate this "100" as the final reward value.]
[Special reminder, the rewards are generous.]
Then, as everyone was still confused, a screen appeared in front of each person.
Each screen displayed different images, each with its own content.
[Take a look at your deepest desires and aspirations.]
The images showed powerful abilities like moving mountains and seas, or shattering planets with a flick.
There were scenes of opulence, looking down on the masses from a high position.
Someone was in Tokyo, on a train full of neon beauties, where time suddenly stopped...
When a stepsister was doing laundry, getting stuck in the washing machine...
It seemed something strange had slipped in...
[Tsk, what kind of nonsense is this!]
[In any case, Chosen''s Paradise is where your dreams come true.]
[Believe me, for your currently shallow understanding, this "100" absolutely holds the chance to change your entire life.]
Seeing that the time was right, the organizer, who had been enticing for a while, felt there was no need for further buildup.
Desires had been stirred, and what remained was the grand drama of loot distribution.
[Alright! Loot Distribution Game is about to begin, next is the rule introduction.]
[This 100 is the total of all rewards, and the distribution method is decided by a vote among the five of you~~, no one has special privileges.]
As soon as these words were spoken, the other four players visibly relaxed. If that''s all, then indeed the gap between them and the perfect clearance player was nonexistent.
But what was this creepy bug jar for?
[And this jar is the punishment for "non-cooperative" players.]
[The rules are as follows: each person, in order, proposes their own allocation plan for this point value.]
[If half or more of the people press the green agree button, indicating approval, then the allocation plan is passed, and everyone receives their respective share of the rewards.]
[Conversely, if more than half disagree, then the person who proposed the plan will be transported into this jar, where the little creatures love you all.]
[Then, it moves to the next person in order to propose their plan.]
As they spoke, the jar full of bugs glowed slightly.
Looking at the jar, the hearts of the crowd, which had been hanging by a thread, were now completely dead.
So, this thing was for executions...
The most terrifying way to die in the world, perhaps.
[Alright, enough chit-chat, order allocation, now begins!]
As the voice fell, a number began to flash rapidly above each person''s head, from number one to number five.
All the players'' nerves instantly tightened, some closing their eyes to pray, hoping to get a later position.
This game, for the first person to allocate, was entirely decided by the others whether they lived or died!
Forget about allocating benefits, if you''re at the front, even staying alive might be difficult! It would have been better to die in the previous game!
This was entirely a game of luck!
Ding!
The crowd shuddered with the sound, the numbers stopped, and the order for each person''s proposal was set.
Number 1—Lu Ce!
