Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 296 The options and costs of leaving the game

After bidding farewell to contestant No. 1, Lee Do-hyun then interviewed contestant No. 2: "Do you think you will win the final reward?"

What Li Ting said was completely different from the sweet feeling she gave people. Her tone was soft, but her words were very confident: "Of course, I am ready to become the strongest awakened person."

Hearing her confident words, Li Daoxian laughed and said, "Before you become the strongest, you will receive a gift, a twenty-five-year lifespan sponsored by Player No. 49."

Li Ting couldn't help but open her eyes wide. Although she had some guesses in her heart, she was still a little surprised.

Now in this game, you can actually gain lifespan...

Li Daoxian then asked: "Now, you can make a choice, continue the game, or leave the game with the lifespan reward."

Li Ting replied without any hesitation: "Continue the game."

……

In the room of player No. 3.

Lu Zhicheng was looking out the window.

The crowds there had already sorted out the results.

All fifty rooms have been allocated, and the five people who did not get their spots have also appeared.

In front of people in the room, a small camera floating with them appeared in front of them. They could touch the camera to adjust the playback of the current interview session, and they could also recall the screen to see previous interviews.

Lu Zhicheng was no exception. He touched the camera curiously and the picture appeared.

In the picture, [3] was written on the black door of the room. The more Lu Zhicheng looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. At this moment, as the picture progressed, a sound came from behind Lu Zhicheng.

Li Daoxian opened the door to the room and greeted him relaxedly: "Hello, Player No. 3."

Lu Zhicheng looked at the picture on the side and then at the host in front of him. He didn't know what to say. He could only refer to the answer he had seen on TV before: "Uh, hello, host."

He already knew the general background of the Mist game from the manual provided by Instructor Wang, but the manual never mentioned that there was a special event, not to mention that the host in front of him said that he was the one who prepared for this special event. By.

If he followed the instructions in the manual, he would be wary of anyone in the game, so he wasn't going to say too much.

Li Daoxian saw Lu Zhicheng's wariness against him and understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Relax, I am the host of this game. During the entire game, I will not directly participate in the game. I It’s not your enemy, it’s the ones behind you.”

Lu Zhicheng nodded noncommittally to show that he understood, but in fact, he still did not let go of his vigilance.

Li Daoxian also interviewed him: "You were obviously the first to arrive here, but you gave up the first room. To be honest, this choice was unexpected. What did you think about it?"

Speaking of this, Lu Zhicheng scratched his head, hesitated, and answered succinctly: "This is what we agreed before."

Li Daoxian looked at him and said with a smile: "Integrity is a virtue. Congratulations, you got third place in this section and gained thirteen years of life sponsored by Player No. 48."

Thirteen years of life...

Lu Zhicheng saw the black card on the table nearby. The number on it changed from 61 to 74.
He was thoughtful...

So that’s it, is this card the rest of my lifespan?

The lifespan consumed by the people behind will be used as a reward for the top player...

This encourages competition.

This means that...the final winner will not only receive the awakening grand prize that goes directly to Level B, but also receive extremely valuable rewards in this intermediate process.

Lu Zhicheng's reaction was similar to that of Wang Yu and others when they heard it. The fact that one's lifespan could be traded would have the greatest impact on anyone who heard it for the first time, and it was easy to think about whether one could live forever because of it.

Thirteen years of life is precious without even thinking about it.

Lu Zhicheng had heard before that many chaebol tycoons, in order to extend their lives when they get old, replace their own body organs and use the blood of their own offspring to replace their own body blood. Such things abound, as long as they are related to longevity. There are always rich people who are willing to invest in this topic.

If the quota for participation in the special event at hand were released, Lu Zhicheng had no doubt that those rich people with limited life span would flock to the event to fight for their own longevity.

Looking at the thoughtful Lu Zhicheng, Li Daoxian said with a smile:
"I'm impressed by your behavior, so I can tell you an additional piece of news."

Lu Zhicheng remained silent, waiting for Li Daoxian's next words.

Li Daoxian said: "The first place can get a life span of forty-nine years, and the second place can get a life span of twenty-five years... You had a chance to get the first place, but because of your integrity, you lost thirty years." Six years of life..."

He paused here deliberately, saw Lu Zhicheng's surprised expression, and asked with a smile: "Do you regret it?"

Lu Zhicheng thought for a while and then said: "This has passed... When I heard this reward, I did regret it for a moment. However, I thought about it seriously. If I had to do it again, I would do the same thing again. Decide."

"I may change myself, but it will definitely not be because of profit."

Li Daoxian looked at Lu Zhicheng, and when he saw that he really thought so from the bottom of his heart, he sincerely praised: "Interesting, there are very few people who can be like you..."

The Lu Zhicheng in front of him made Li Daoxian feel inexplicably familiar, and he couldn't help but think of another person.

He smiled and continued to ask Lu Zhicheng: "Next question, you now have the right to make a choice, continue the game, or leave here, what will you do?"

Lu Zhicheng asked: "Is there a price to pay for leaving here?"

Li Daoxian shook his head: "No need. As a reward for the top three, you can leave here and return to the world where you were originally without paying any price."

Lu Zhicheng asked: "What about the players behind? Can they also leave here?"

He deliberately asked this question, not for himself, but to gain more information.

He didn't know why the host in front of him answered him, and he wasn't sure whether the host would give the people behind him a chance to ask, but he knew that the question he was asking now was related to his classmates and every player.

Li Daoxian saw Lu Zhicheng's thoughts, this kind of question could be answered or not, but he answered: "Actually, I will talk about this later, but since you asked now, I will answer you." As he spoke, The small cameras in all the rooms played back the scenes in front of them.

Li Daoxian didn't want to repeat one thing, so he directly pushed the words in front of him to everyone: "In this round, except for the top three, other people who have obtained the participation quota will have to pay if they want to leave the game. Half of one’s own lifespan.”

When Lu Zhicheng heard this, his face darkened.

Sure enough, although the Mist Game is the milder of all abnormal events, it is also an abnormal event in itself.

This time is a special event in the Mist game. Even if the host in front of him claims to be benevolent from the beginning, he still needs to pay half his life to get out of the game...

Lu Zhicheng asked: "Isn't this a little unfair? They were forced to participate in the fog game. Now if they want to leave, they have to pay half of their lifespan. After leaving, they will lose half of their life. This is you, What’s called kindness?”

At this time, the eyes of other players in the next room were also frequently looking towards room three.

Many people chose to watch the live interview and happened to hear Lu Zhicheng's bold questioning.

Previously, they were still laughing at Lu Zhicheng for being a bit pedantic and unable to even distinguish the competition. He actually handed over the victory to others just because of his promise. Others got first and second place and missed out on a lot of lifespan rewards.

Now it seems even more certain that Lu Zhicheng is not pedantic, but stupid. In the Mist game, he actually spoke to the host in such a tone. The host has said before that he is the organizer of special events, and his identity is definitely not simple. If he offends the other party, he may be punished directly. It would be okay if it is only targeted at Lu Zhicheng, but what if the rules are changed to target them?
This is what more players worry about.

They are in a weak position, with their wealth and life in each other's hands. It is not wise to offend each other rashly.

However, Li Daoxian was not angry because of Lu Zhicheng's questioning, and the expression on his face was still smiling: "In the past, the Mist game was forced recruitment, which was indeed not kind enough."

"But...you may not know that the rules of this special game were re-drawn by me. They are completely different from the omen mode of previous fog games. The players who can participate this time are all willing to participate. There is a situation of coercion.”

"I believe that if they don't have a strong interest and amazing will, then even if they have talent, it will be difficult for them to really use it."

"Including you, all the contestants in this game have a strong desire to awaken, so they were selected."

These words left Lu Zhicheng silent.

Indeed, when Lu Zhicheng heard that he had a chance to awaken, he had no other ideas at all. He hoped that he could awaken and become a superhero. He was tired of his original ordinary life, and he longed to embark on a different path. direction.

Li Daoxian's voice was unhurried and spoke at just the right speed: "I took up the quota because I saw the cruelty of the game and changed my mind and wanted to leave. I have to pay some price without losing my life. Isn't this a mercy?"

He stated the fact in an understatement: it is the player's own choice to participate in the game, and paying for life is the price that must be paid for regretting it.

Li Daoxian raised his hand, stretched out a finger, and then said: "By the way, I want to correct you. Now there are people who do not meet the conditions for withdrawal. The first point, you may have overlooked, only players who have obtained the number can withdraw from the competition. ”

Then he stretched out a finger: "Second point, because when entering the room, the corresponding life span will be deducted, and the cost of withdrawing from the game is half of the overall life span..."

He smiled and watched Lu Zhicheng's expression change, and said in a brisk tone:

"simply put……"

"There are many players whose life span is no longer long enough to pay the price of retirement."

Players in many rooms were watching the real-time footage through cameras. When they heard Li Daoxian's words, they immediately looked at the black card on the table, then held their heads in pain and howled out.

Their number is low, and as a price, the life span consumed is too high, so that although they have the option to withdraw, they have no way to withdraw...

Lu Zhicheng was silent.

I found that what I thought was still too simple.

I originally thought that the remaining contestants would be able to retire if they gave up half their life span, and the cost of retirement would be high. But now it sounds like more than half of them will not be able to retire, and even if they retire, they probably won't have much life left.

In the most extreme case, if the player in room 50 is eighteen years old, fifty years will be deducted from the qualification and two years will be spent on props. In other words, a fifty-year-old player must originally have a lifespan of more than one hundred and forty years in order to leave alive. game, otherwise, we will still owe the life of Mist Game...

Lu Zhicheng couldn't help but said: "If the player with the last number had a lifespan of more than 140 years, it would be impossible."

Li Daoxian said with a smile: "You can choose to work harder in the next game, and you may have the opportunity to leave without any consumption."

"Or...are you good at making friends? All players can use the black cards in their hands to control their own life span. If you can convince others to give you life span, it doesn't take too much. Everyone just needs to give you a life span. With you for two years, I can naturally meet the cost of leaving here..."

Lu Zhicheng shook his head.

It sounds feasible, but in reality, it is impossible to happen. Who would think that they would live longer?
Li Daoxian smiled and said: "Okay, the interview ends here, we have to start the follow-up process..."

Lu Zhicheng said quickly: "Wait, I have another question..."

Li Daoxian did not look back and waved his hand with a smile: "I think I have said enough. If you still want to know other news, please come on in the next game."

……

The results of the first ring have appeared early.

Fifty-five people, five of them are destined to have no room.

While watching the interview, people in the room would also glance at the five candidates who were about to be eliminated from the corner of their eyes.

There was sympathy, worry, and schadenfreude in everyone's eyes, which also made them a little uneasy.

Lee Do-hyun stood at the front after concluding the awards ceremony for the top three.

The dark giant tree behind him stretched out its branches, as if a giant raised its hand and lifted Li Daoxian.

Li Daoxian said to everyone: "Attention, everyone, in the first link of the past, I hope that you all understand your situation, and I also hope that you all have the opportunity to make friends, because the next link, and this point closely related.”

"Of course, before starting a new session, we need to deal with the eliminations of this round."
