Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 367 366. Many opportunities have already been lost before (rd update)
In the final round, the instructions for body donation appeared again in the box on the table, but this time there were additional terms.

Regarding the body modification, all expenses will be borne by the individual, and any excess property will be handed over to the entertainment company...

Sefer raised his eyebrows and said that he was penniless. Could he still make money by selling his organs?

What was the answer? His opponent, who was already mentally disturbed and seemed to be oblivious to his own high-pressure situation, certainly didn't care. Cypher put the document back into the box and took out the prop for himself from it.

Both sides had reached the final round, and all previous items were collected and four new items were issued. What appeared before Seifer were two eject cards, a magnifying glass, and a double-damage muzzle item.

Honestly, the muzzle props are pointless.

The opponent also got two eject cards, a magnifying glass and a double-damage muzzle item, exactly the same... the magazine was flipped, ten bullets, one real bullet!
At this point, it was clear what the company wanted to see. Now there was only one person who could walk out of this room, and everyone knew whether the so-called 10 million grand prize would be given to Sefer.

But that didn't stop them from wanting to see the expression and grit of this seemingly calm challenger when he was hit by a gun!

The ammunition was loaded, and the coin was tossed high. Cypher tilted his chin and said, "I choose the printed side. What about you?"

“…I choose the other side.”

The coin fell, and the number of the entertainment company appeared on it. To be honest, at this point, Sefer also felt that the backstage operation was a bit excessive.

But the opponent had already picked up the gun and fired at Seifer frantically and excitedly - a blank shot.

It was Seifer's turn. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "What if, I mean, we both ejected real bullets while using the blowback?"

"..."

There was no life in the other person's eyes, because he knew that this matter had to end with someone here being riddled with lead bullets or exploding like some fragile container.

So after getting the gun, Sefer only thought for a moment, then ignored Momo's voice and pulled the trigger directly.

Then unload the gun and hand it to your opponent.

Seeing that he didn't care about his life so much, the man finally made some movements. He raised his head stiffly and said, "You are completely... not afraid at all?"

"Yes, but how should I put it? Compared to someone like you who has been working in the company for so long that you have gradually treated others as tools to kill time, I am quite humane."

"I've already given you a little chance, hoping you'd have a little thought, like joining me, but for some reason, you seem to have given up."

As he spoke, the other party had already pulled the trigger...still empty.

Taking the gun, Cypher glanced behind him. "Is it because of those guys hiding in the shadows, afraid to come over and play a real game with me? Or is it because you have some so-called 'hardship' that requires you to sit here?"

"Let me guess. Maybe you'll tell me a tragic story, like how you got stuck at the company. But that has nothing to do with me."

Seifer acted as if it had nothing to do with him: "This is not a school, and I'm not your teacher. I don't have the time or energy to listen to you complain."

"You bastard from the sand!!" The man who had forgotten even how to curse let out a shrill howl, pulled the trigger hard, then pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger again without hesitation.

...But the rules of the entertainment company don't allow him to do that. If he breaks the rules of the game, he will be punished.

After the intense electric current, the man slumped over the table. Cypher grabbed the shotgun shell from his hand, thought for a moment, and then looked at the camera again.

The people at the gambling scene suddenly looked over, a faint smile on their dirty faces - this wasn't scary, what was scary in front of the screen? Seifer nodded thoughtfully and said, "Actually, I have a good idea. After all, this place is a desert, and the most lacking thing is entertainment."

"Once I get the money, I'm going to find a good way to use it."

He stuffed two ejection cards into the table. With two clicks, two fake bullets were ejected. "Simply put, I'll first pay the entertainment company to purchase the detailed information of the people who just watched this live broadcast."

"Then get a simple car that can reach each node city."

Aiming at his opponent, Cypher pulled the trigger...still a blank.

Placing the gun on the table, he, as the challenger, looked at the camera with a smile: "Then I will randomly visit my audience, go to their homes, beat their entire family into a pulp with a shotgun, then break their limbs, hang them with ropes in the room, and slowly bleed to death."

"After all, if you want excitement, you have to pursue it to the end. On the bright side, there are probably hundreds of thousands of people watching right now. If I go to each one of them, I can probably only satisfy a few thousand at most."

"So most of you can live a leisurely and easy life, and it will last your whole life. How about this gamble?"

Not to mention the audience, even the entertainment companies have never seen such a scene - what is advance consumption? This is advance consumption and even includes a crime warning!

For some reason, a twisted smile managed to form on his opponent's lifeless face: "You really are...cute for our line of work."

To be honest, Cypher had done this before, but only in a vision. And the reaction seemed to be more straightforward and quicker than in reality.

To reinforce the reality of his words, Seifer continued, "Although I can't see the audience's wishes, I think everyone must feel that it would take all their efforts and decades of effort to eliminate thousands of people..."

"Even tens of thousands of people are just a drop in the bucket. So I'm thinking, maybe I can continue to attract more partners. Our job and mission is to achieve our goals in the most exciting way possible."

“Then we will spread the beautiful and exciting videos so that everyone can enjoy a more realistic and exciting audio-visual experience.”

While saying these words, Seifer also turned off the communication, so the people in the Academy City couldn't hear what he was saying - then, it's definitely not okay to corrupt children, right?
The opponent no longer had the energy to laugh. He sat with his head down, or was tied to a chair, looking as decadent as a dog with its spine pulled out.

But he still insisted on picking up the shotgun, and then shakily threw out the ejector pin... Up to this point, all the ammunition was fake.

Two eject cards, two rounds left in the chamber, fifty percent chance.

At this point, the man was silent for a long time. He first raised his gun and aimed it at Sefer, but then turned the gun barrel towards himself with trembling hands. The smell of gunpowder emanating from the black muzzle made him shudder.

"Aren't you worried that the second-to-last shot might be real?"

Seifer's words made him turn the gun again immediately, but he was still hesitant and did not dare to shoot.

"Maybe it's fake. 50% chance. Honestly, I don't know what your company is thinking... Maybe they're interested in what I'm trying to do and decide to invest."

"So it's even possible that, regardless of whether the bullet inside is real or fake, as soon as you pull the trigger on yourself, it will become a real bullet."

With his hands on the table, he kept putting pressure on the other party, looking more like a ruthless gambler from the company.

"I...I choose, I want...I want to put it——"

The opponent pointed the gun at Seifer with a distorted expression, as if he wanted to release all his fear, despair, and the pain that was gripping his heart like needles piercing his brain, and he pulled the trigger hard!
