Chapter 313 Did You Have a Guess Long Ago? (4k)
For the next time, Zhao Xun closed his eyes and rested.
The girl with glasses also sat silently and didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the scarred man came back after eating and drinking that he made some noise.
However, the scarred man did not dare to make a fuss and just chatted quietly with the girl with glasses.
After waiting for about half an hour, a pop-up window suddenly popped up in front of Zhao Xun's eyes.
[Congratulations to player Zhao Xun for completing the collaboration mission, earning 200 points and 200 hours of survival time. 】
Zhao Xun sat up straight.
The scarred man who was talking immediately stopped talking. He looked at Zhao Xun and saw that Zhao Xun didn't look angry, but seemed to be in a good mood.
He thought of something and asked: "Is your collaboration task completed?"
The edict for Zhao Xun to become king has been posted on the notice board. As long as all the rebel rabbits are killed, all the processes of the collaboration task will be completed.
There is really no need for the mission completion reminder to appear after the rabbit soldiers have gathered here.
"Yeah." Zhao Xun didn't hide anything. He took out the other two edicts and handed them to the scarred man and the girl with glasses.
The scarred man and the girl with glasses immediately stood up from the ground, both of them showing happy expressions.
They had always been uneasy because the imperial edict was in Zhao Xun's hands. Now they were very happy to see that Zhao Xun had given it to them without them having to ask for it.
The girl with glasses looked at the scarred man's eager face and suggested, "Let's play guessing games. Whoever wins will be the king first."
"Okay." The scarred man agreed readily.
For him, it doesn't matter sooner or later as long as the collaborative task can be completed.
The progress is going very smoothly now. He just needs to wait for all the rabbit soldiers to gather here, hold the emerald scepter, announce to the rabbit soldiers that he is the new king, and then put the edict on the notice board, covering Zhao Xun's With that one, everything is done.
The outcome was decided in one round, and the scarred man’s fist beat the bespectacled girl’s scissors.
"Hehe, it seems that I am really lucky in this game." The scarred man smiled and stretched out his hand to Zhao Xun, "Give me the scepter!"
Zhao Xun didn't say anything, and handed the scarred man the scepter on his waist.
The girl with glasses watched the scarred man take away the scepter, sighed silently, and stepped aside.
Although it's a bit regretful that she wasn't the second one, it doesn't matter if she waits a little longer.
Zhao Xun was still sitting on the chair and was not in a hurry to leave.
He also wanted to know if the two players still had a chance to complete the collaborative mission.
After another half hour or so, the rabbit soldiers finally gathered at the palace gate again.
They looked at Zhao Xun anxiously, like prisoners waiting for the final sentence.
Soon, all the rabbits noticed that the emerald scepter was held by the scarred man, while Zhao Xun sat on a chair with his eyes closed as if it was nothing to do.
"I am your new king." Scar Man said impatiently, "You all obey the orders of the holder of the scepter, and I am now the holder of the scepter. You should now recognize me as your master."
The rabbit soldiers looked at each other and were silent for a moment.
There was no question or rejection, no obedient acknowledgment.
The scarred man only thought that these rabbit soldiers had acquiesced, and hurriedly unfolded his edict and neatly pasted it on the previous edict of Zhao Xun.
He waited with excitement on his face.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...ten seconds.
The excitement on his face faded and turned into anxiety.
He turned to look at the rabbit soldiers and asked angrily: "Are there any of you who are rebellious?"
There was nothing wrong with his process, nor was there a single condition lacking.
But after waiting for more than ten seconds, no message reminder that the task was completed appeared.
The most likely reason is that some of these rabbit soldiers dissatisfied him with being the king.
Just like Zhao Xun's previous situation.
The rabbit soldiers looked at each other again, but still no one spoke.
The scarred man suddenly became anxious. He hit the notice board with his scepter angrily: "Are you all mute? I am your king! How dare you not answer when the king asks you something?"
"We have no rebellious intentions against you," finally, a rabbit dressed as a general spoke. "You get the scepter, issue the edict, and make us convinced that you are the next king designated by the new king."
At this point, it paused for a few seconds, and under the anxious urging eyes of the scarred man, it continued: "But...the next king can only succeed after the death of the king."
Almost as soon as the rabbit general finished speaking, the scarred man's head fell to the ground.
The scarred man didn't even understand what happened until he saw his body falling to the ground.
But the remaining consciousness was fleeting, and at the last moment of death, he seemed to hear a scream.
The girl with glasses on the side screamed and kept retreating. She looked at Zhao Xun warily and horrified.
The flaming machete in Zhao Xun's hand quickly disappeared. The expression on his face did not change at all, and he even maintained the comfortable sitting posture before, as if he was not the one who had just cut off the scarred man's head.
"You...did you have this guess early on?" the girl with glasses asked in a trembling voice, "You want to be the first to be the king because you guessed that the player behind you must kill the one in front if you want to be the king."
Even if Zhao Xun gives them the opportunity to complete the collaborative mission, they will still be killed by Zhao Xun in the end.
Rather than wasting time like this, it would be better for Zhao Xun to be the king from the beginning.
"I guessed it roughly." Zhao Xun stood up slowly, picked up the emerald scepter that fell to the ground, and smiled gently at the girl with glasses, "I'm not 100% sure, so I gave you a chance."
The girl with glasses kept backing away, fearing that Zhao Xun would get closer to her.
While looking for a suitable escape route, she stuttered and accused Zhao Xun: "You...you are too treacherous. You pushed me and the scarred man to a dead end. Only you can survive."
"You can't think of the potential risks of this collaborative mission. It's your own brain that's not good." Zhao Xun had a very warm smile on his face, but his words were slightly chilling, "Besides, I'm not a good person."
Survival games are originally about struggling for survival, and death is the norm.
Even if you use moral kidnapping on other players, it won't be of much use, let alone someone like him who has no emotions.
The girl with glasses stared at Zhao Xun in a daze, and her legs trembled unconsciously.
Her heart was chilled.
Although Zhao Xun did not show much emotional ups and downs, she still felt that Zhao Xun wanted to kill her.
And he had to kill her.
Yes, as long as she killed Zhao Xun, she could become the new king and complete the cooperative mission.
In order to survive, she could not give up any opportunity to assassinate.
Even if her strength was weak and did not pose a threat to Zhao Xun, it was always a trouble to be on guard against sneak attacks. Killing him as soon as possible would save her trouble.
She understood this and knew that she might do the same if she were in his place.
But she was about to be killed. How could she look at this matter objectively like a spectator?
She only hoped that the other party would be a little soft-hearted and give her a chance to live.
Unfortunately, her hope was dashed after all.
Zhao Xun fired a flaming arrow at the girl with glasses without hesitation.
The girl with glasses was so scared that her whole body trembled. She retreated awkwardly and threw one ping-pong-sized water ball after another at the flaming arrow.
Like a moth to a flame, when the water ball was about five centimeters away from the flaming arrow, it was evaporated into water vapor by the scorching temperature.
The blood color on the glasses girl's face completely faded, leaving only despair.
She knew that there was a huge gap in strength between her and Zhao Xun, but she always thought that even if her water ball could not completely extinguish Zhao Xun's fire, it should at least reduce the fire.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the fire weakening, she could escape.
But reality is so cruel.
Her water ball was useless in front of Zhao Xun's fire.
It couldn't even damage the tip of the flaming arrow.
This feeling of being powerless was really too desperate.
The glasses girl continued to release water balls in vain in order to get a glimmer of life, but even this struggle couldn't let her live for two more seconds.
The speed of the flaming arrow did not slow down at all, and finally pierced the glasses girl's chest directly.
With a shrill scream, the flames instantly covered the glasses girl's whole body, and she was burned into charcoal in an instant.
None of the rabbit soldiers who watched the whole process spoke.
After the glasses girl and the scarred man died, they all knelt down towards Zhao Xun and saluted respectfully, expressing their loyalty to Zhao Xun, the new king.
Zhao Xun sat down on the chair again and began to think about the next plan.
The last sentence of the game rules this time is "Players who complete two tasks and survive to the end can pass the game."
Therefore, this time, players will not be allowed to leave the game early because of the early completion of personal tasks and collaborative tasks. They must wait until the end of the game time to return to the endless train.
The current situation-
Four of the five [slaves] are still alive, but because the rabbit princess has died, they can no longer complete the collaborative tasks and are destined to die in this game.
Only the hip-hop man is left as an [assassin].
Only the male servant who carries the tray is left as a [favorite].
Among the [thieves], the scarred man and the glasses girl were killed, leaving only Zhao Xun.
Although there are still seven players alive, in fact, only Zhao Xun, the hip-hop man and the male servant who carries the tray can pass the game.
The four [slaves] all know that they have no hope of passing the game.
If they are all timid, they can only hide in a corner and linger until the game ends and death comes.
If they are braver and feel unbalanced because they cannot pass the game, they may want to kill other players who have a chance to pass the game before the game ends.
Especially Zhao Xun, he killed the rabbit princess, which is equivalent to personally cutting off the hope of the [slaves] to pass the game.
These [slaves] must want him to die.
Even if he showed his strength to crush them, the barefoot are not afraid of the shoes, they will die anyway, and they can always be cruel enough to try to die with him.
Moreover, sneak attacks always have more chances of winning than head-on confrontations.
The main thing is to let others die with him if you can't survive.
So, in order to live a more comfortable time in the future and avoid being ruined by these players to enjoy the rare and relaxing time, he has to find a way to get rid of these hidden dangers.
Zhao Xun took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.
December 26th, 10:30 am.
There are still more than 30 hours before the end of the game.
It was quite inconvenient for him to go find those players alone. It was good enough that they could actively attack him. If they were all hiding, it would be difficult for him to find them, which would waste a lot of his time.
So he chose to do other things and wait for those players to come to him.
But he would not sit still and wait for death...
Zhao Xun ordered all the rabbit soldiers: "Send half of the soldiers to find the humans hiding in the palace, and say that I invited them to dinner. Those who obey will be brought to me at dinner time, and those who resist will be executed on the spot. The other half of the soldiers will be arranged according to your daily habits and do what is within your duties."
The rabbit soldiers dispersed in response.
Those who should patrol patrol, those who should guard the gate guard the gate, and those who should search search.
Zhao Xun also got up and returned to the palace.
He waved to a passing rabbit servant.
The rabbit servant quickly trotted to Zhao Xun.
"Go and call the marquis over," Zhao Xun thought for a while and said, "see me in the study."
The rabbit servant responded and left quickly.
Zhao Xun went upstairs and went to the bedroom of the rabbit king first. As expected, he saw the rabbit queen crying on the bed.
Among the four masters in the palace, only the Rabbit Queen was still alive.
It had been several hours, and the Rabbit Queen seemed to have not recovered from the King's cheating. She was crying until now and probably didn't know that the Rabbit Princess and the Rabbit Prince had already died.
Zhao Xun didn't say a word and directly used the [Thunder Power] to electrocute the Rabbit Queen.
The Rabbit Queen died very quietly, without making any sound.
Then, Zhao Xun came to the study and saw the headless rabbit corpse still sitting behind the desk.
He simply set a fire and burned the Rabbit King clean, leaving no ash.
Then he opened the window of the study to disperse the smell.
After a while, the Rabbit Marquis came.
As soon as they met, the Rabbit Marquis showed a flattering smile: "My beloved King, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Well," Zhao Xun waved to the Rabbit Marquis, "Come with me for a walk."
Rabbit Marquis: "..."
It thought Zhao Xun asked it to come to the study to discuss some confidential matters.
As a result, it just came, and then asked it to leave... Why did they meet in the study?
The Rabbit Marquis didn't know what Zhao Xun wanted to do, but he didn't dare to ask more. He followed Zhao Xun obediently and walked out of the study.
Zhao Xun first went to the jewelry room that belonged to the Rabbit Queen, and there was indeed an open safe in it.
Apparently, the scarred man handled it in a hurry, and the paintings were not hung up, and the door of the safe was not closed.
As long as you look into the innermost part of the room, you can see the open door of the safe on the wall above the sofa. (End of this chapter)
