Once the allocation from One to Five was completed, Players Four and Five instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. According to the previously agreed rules, at least their lives were spared.
Moreover, their positions were quite comfortable. As per the earlier discussions, if more than half disagreed, the person who raised objections would be executed.
Intuitively, those in front would likely be more considerate and even try to please them during the allocation.
After all, being at the back meant they wouldn''t die, and without special benefits, they certainly wouldn''t agree to anything else.
As for Players Two and Three, their expressions were a bit grim. Their positions were awkward, facing the insect pillars in front of them, and the numbers didn''t provide any sense of security.
Especially Player Two, the only woman present, who looked quite displeased, silently cursing her bad luck.
But upon seeing Lu Ce, the big shot, with the number "1" above his head, her mood improved significantly, feeling much more balanced.
At this moment, the other four were all looking in Lu Ce''s direction, their eyes showing a mix of pity and... schadenfreude.
Indeed, offending the organizers in such a game was not a wise choice.
No matter how strong you are, you''re just a player in the game, while they''re the ones setting the rules. Who do you think you are?
Seeing Lu Ce with his head down, not speaking, they inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.
Everyone loves to create gods, but they love even more to watch them fall from grace.
Seeing this obviously strongest player, strong enough to affect the game''s balance, being assigned the unluckiest position, they were genuinely pleased.
Where was the gratitude? Didn''t you extort us when you helped cut off the legs before?
At this moment, the blue mask on Lu Ce''s face shimmered, not forming any expression, as he kept his head down, muttering something to himself.
Everyone fell silent, wanting to hear what this big shot was saying.

"Outside the pavilion, by the ancient road, the fragrant grass stretches endlessly~~"
Everyone: ?
What the hell are you singing at a time like this!?
Are you out of your mind!?
You can''t guess what the big shot is thinking, but in any case, it''s Lu Ce''s turn now, and it''s his turn to allocate.
[Well, this is a setup.]
[This is purely arranged, sigh, keep a low profile, why fight with the organizers.]
[Let''s see how this plays out, if he can keep his life, it''ll be a blessing.]
[Sigh, the tree that stands out in the forest gets destroyed by the wind, look at the other players'' eyes, they clearly want him dead.]
[People should stay humble, sigh...]
The comments were mostly pessimistic, except for a few like Blank, who were frowning, sensing something amiss.
The focus of this game shouldn''t be a deadlock like this.
They calculated while watching Lu Ce, who was still humming, anticipating his judgment.
Lu Ce himself was also thinking, and the first thing that came to mind was the effect of his Greed Mask.
At the start of the game, it had shown its effects, but he had briefly set aside the description.
[Greed Blue (KAITO) Personality Effect: Amplifies greed, makes one talkative and mentally active, cunning and insidious.]
[Benefit: Luck subtly increases, having peculiar effects at critical moments.]
[Description: At the gambling table, the one who wants to win the most will win!]
"Logically, my luck should be good, so if that''s the case..."
"Oh, it seems there''s no problem."
After a long silence, Lu Ce finally spoke, smiling and talking to himself, the comical smile on his blue mask reappearing.
"Ah, it''s just a pity that these lovely insects can''t be used."
Looking at the "Pain Values" before him, Lu Ce had already figured out the key to this game.
Just as he was about to continue, a voice interrupted him.
"This perfect-clear player, I think since we''re at this point, there''s no need for riddles, I''ll be straightforward."
"We all acknowledge your strength, but since you''re number one, you shouldn''t take this reward."
"You take zero, and as for the distribution among the four of us, let''s discuss it now."
"Although you won''t gain anything, as long as the allocation succeeds, at least you won''t be thrown into this cage."
"You were once a perfect-clear player, as long as you survive, there will be future opportunities."
"Do you agree?"
The seemingly intellectual woman beside him spoke up, appearing rational and thinking from Lu Ce''s perspective.
After all, she was number two, and if number one decided to go crazy and choose death, the pressure would fall on her.
It was better to be proactive and, through this method, at least secure Lu Ce''s vote to share the risk.
At this moment, the organizers spoke again.
[Attention everyone, every five minutes, if a round of voting isn''t completed, the door in front of you will open slightly at random in front of one person~.]
The organizers'' voice sounded again, like a death sentence.
The players felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this.
[Of course, to prevent stalling, if it''s your turn and you deliberately don''t provide an allocation policy, the door will prioritize opening in front of you.]
"What do you think of my proposal, perfect-clear player? You''ve heard it, we can''t delay any longer."
The woman in position two urged, trying to get Lu Ce to follow her lead.
"Stop calling, don''t keep interrupting me!" Lu Ce stopped her, then looked up and asked:
"I want to ask, can the allocation of 100 be in decimals, like allocating 0.000001 to someone?"
[......No! It must be allocated in whole numbers!]
"Tsk, that''s a bit of a pity."
Lu Ce muttered, raising his head.
"In that case, I won''t waste words."
"My allocation is as follows:"
Number Two was immediately startled, thinking this guy was really going to mess up, shouldn''t this be discussed?!
The other players all perked up their ears.
"Number Five, 1 point."
The man in position five was stunned.
"Number Three, 1 point."
Player Three doubted his ears.
"Number One, which is myself, 98 points."
"Number Two and Number Four, 0 points!"
Number Two woman:......
When this seemingly insane allocation was announced, everyone doubted their ears.
The entire live stream almost exploded!
Was he seeking death?!
