[User: Damn! Damn! Seriously, still talking trash at a time like this? A wise man knows when to retreat.]


    [User: I''m wondering if there''s a possibility that this buddy is actually a masochist and really wants to get into that jar of bugs to experience it.]


    [User: Stop it, I''m going to puke.]


    [User: The organizers have clearly set you up, and you''re still not cooperating with others here. You''re just asking for death.]


    [User: This isn''t just trash talk and negotiation anymore.]


    [User: I''ve always said he''s not some big shot, he just relied on his twisted mind to pass the initial stage and achieve a perfect clearance.]


    [User: Letting someone like him become a big shot is a failure of this so-called Chosen''s Paradise.]


    For a moment, various voices clamored, and people were eager to distance themselves, convincing themselves that the person in front of them wasn''t worth their admiration, that they had simply misjudged him.


    When a god falls from the pedestal, the noise is far greater than when he ascended.


    .......


    "Is the allocation method confirmed?"


    A mechanical voice came from the air, as if the organizers were also shocked by Lu Ce''s statement.


    "Confirm."


    "After confirmation, modifications will incur related costs."


    "Confirm!"


    After two confirmations, a somewhat blurry number appeared above everyone''s head, the number allocated by Lu Ce.


    The lights dimmed.


    Clap!


    After a sound of slapping the light, red light flashed directly. Almost immediately after Lu Ce confirmed this allocation method, the second female pressed the rejection button in front of her.


    Without any hesitation.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    With a cold face, she turned her head to look at Lu Ce and said:


    "Number One, since you''re so bent on seeking death, you can''t blame us."


    "Those who can''t discern the situation, no matter how strong they are, can''t avoid the fate of death."


    "It''s over. If you really want to enter that bug-infested place, then your wish is granted."


    Her cold voice echoed, and with the game rules backing her, she was no longer afraid, openly lashing out at Lu Ce.


    Lu Ce just chuckled twice and turned to look at the woman.


    The woman was also fearless at this moment, staring intently at the blue mask, at the man who had brought her countless fears.


    Soon, this devil-like man would die at her hands!


    Thinking vaguely in her heart, she couldn''t help but feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Pressing the button, the power to judge others at will made her a bit addicted.


    But looking at this woman''s face, the smile on Lu Ce''s mask never changed.


    "In this game, there are only two women."


    "Compared to that other woman, you''re slightly better."


    Hearing Lu Ce''s words, a drop of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on Number Two''s forehead.


    She clearly remembered the woman who had crazily insulted Number One, Lu Ce, in the Hell of Lava before.


    Now, that woman was no longer here... what happened was self-evident.


    "But she died because of her stupidity."


    "As for you, though not as stupid, you''re not exactly smart either, a bit too self-righteous."


    Number Two glared at Lu Ce, her eyes full of defiance, and in the end, she even sneered a little.


    "Facing death, still holding onto your expert facade, does it matter?"


    Then, she turned her head to look at the other players and said:


    "Let''s not waste time, press the red button in front of you to show your disapproval."


    "Consider it as avenging our broken legs and extortion."


    It must be said, there are only a few ways to incite hatred, and Number Two''s words were crystal clear, almost making Lu Ce laugh.


    Clearly, it was the hellish game difficulty forcing everyone to either break a leg or die, yet in this woman''s words, how did he become the enemy who broke their legs?


    Number Two didn''t care about that. This wasn''t the time to reason; the key was to throw enough dirt and draw closer to the others.


    "Number Four, in his allocation plan, both of us got nothing, just 0!"


    "Given your ranking, there''s no real danger to your life, but this 0 benefit is obviously unacceptable."


    "As for Number Three and Number Five, being allocated just 1 point seems more like an insult than an alliance."


    "Let''s reject it together! I can assure you, in my allocation plan later, I guarantee you two will get far more benefits!"


    With just a few words, Number Two was always working to divide everyone, putting Lu Ce against them all.


    Ding!


    Another sound, and the option in front of Number Four turned red.


    In a short time, it seemed Lu Ce was already at the edge of a cliff.


    But Lu Ce, at this moment, seemed to be humming a tune.


    "The evening breeze brushes the willows, the flute sounds fade, the sunset beyond the mountains~~~"


    Number Two ignored him, her eyes flickering with the flame of ambition. Today was her first time participating in the Chosen''s Game.


    She wanted to personally end this guy who had once achieved a perfect clearance!


    "Number Three, Number Five, stop hesitating, make a decision."


    "I said, when I make the decision later, the worst case is an equal split, and you''ll definitely get better benefits."


    From beginning to end, it was almost a one-woman show by Number Two, as if she had become the protagonist in this second game.


    At this moment, Lu Ce finally spoke:


    "You say, let you allocate, and the worst result is an equal split."


    "Then why can''t they just vote you out later, and after you''re dead, the three of them can split it evenly, isn''t that more?"


    "What role do you play in this?"


    Number Two: !!


    Number Two was stunned by his words, left speechless, stammering:


    "I... don''t be swayed by him, I''m just saying that''s the minimum situation."


    "And no matter what, my allocation method is better for everyone than yours!"


    Lu Ce sneered, not responding to her, just continued:


    "By that logic, if it''s an equal split, then why should Number Four and Number Five include Number Three? If they vote Number Three out, wouldn''t they get more money?"


    "But by then, Number Five, will you still get any money?"


    "Cause and effect are intertwined, the cause is the head of the effect, the effect is the tail of the cause."


    "When the people ahead die, think about what impact it will have when it''s your turn. Sometimes, you have to work backward."


    "You''re right, this game is indeed a game of luck, and I happen to be the luckiest among you."


    "Number Three, Number Five, you can only accept my allocation."


    "Believe it or not, if you let Number Four allocate, the benefits for you two will only be 0!"
