I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 27 Scoring and Evaluation
After a brief silence, the Red Cube began the task she had to complete after each survival killing game.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the red Rubik's Cube shook a few times.
Immediately, a beam of light descended from the ceiling of the room, and a projection exactly like Chen Bin appeared between everyone and the red Rubik's Cube.
"Chen Bin, the current leader of this Rubik's Cube team, is strong and decisive, and always makes the right judgment at critical moments. It's just a pity that he lacks a bit of overall perspective and is still not good at handling relationships between team members. He still needs to work on this. Red Cube is here to wish you a speedy rise to become an outstanding leader. Score: 3300 points, Grade A."
The assessment of Chen Bin by the Red Cube was spot on.
Recalling Chen Bin's actions in the survival killing game, if only he could have managed the relationships between the team members properly, the team wouldn't have been plagued by so many internal conflicts.
Putting aside the infighting between new and veteran players, the relationship between the five members of his small group alone was not very harmonious.
This is because An Qiluo is unassuming and has a very low profile, while Fu Xueying is particularly good at interpersonal relationships and can suppress Chu Tianyang, who is impulsive and selfish.
Otherwise, this small group would have collapsed long ago.
Chen Bin didn't say anything, just stood there by himself. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time he had heard the Red Cube say this.
"An Qiluo, a woman with an extremely low presence. Despite being the strongest member of the team, she always slacks off in battles, playing the role of an observer. Red Cube is curious, when will you get serious and unleash your full strength? Score: 2700 points, Grade B."
The Red Cube's assessment of An Qiluo was quite fair, but what Su Yu was more concerned about was that even if the other party was just slacking off, her score wasn't much lower than Chen Bin's.
This was even with her playing it safe. If An Qiluo were to go all out, Su Yu couldn't even imagine how high her score would be.
If her score surpasses Chen Bin's, and according to the Red Cube, she can leave the cube space by paying 10,000 points, wouldn't that mean An Qiluo only needs to go through three survival killing games to escape this damned fate?
At the same time, the evaluation of the red Rubik's Cube also made Su Yu feel uneasy.
Judging from the red cube's posture, she had complete control over all the players' movements in the survival killing game.
Seriously speaking, if Red Cube were to publicly reveal that Mao Xingzhou died at his hands, Su Yu estimated that Chen Bin would not let him off easily.
In a better-case scenario, Chen Bin and the others isolated him.
In a worse scenario, Chen Bin might try to eliminate himself in order to remove potential risks within the team.
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt completely numb. He was now hoping that the Red Cube would be kind and not reveal that he had awakened a special ability and killed Mao Xingzhou.
However, no matter what Su Yu thought, the scoring and evaluation of the red Rubik's Cube continued.
"Chu Tianyang, as Fu Xueying's husband, you are undoubtedly qualified. You put her safety above all else, and you even go to great lengths to become stronger in order to better protect your wife. However, Red Cube wants to remind you not to focus all your attention on your wife. You should be more considerate of other people's difficulties. If you continue like this, your personality will inevitably bring you to your death. Score: 3100 points, Grade B."
The red Rubik's Cube seemed to be advising Chu Tianyang and teaching him how to be a person, but her words, though not explicitly mentioning anyone, were all imbued with a sense of kinship.
Su Yu's eye twitched violently twice, unnoticed by the others.
What others may not know is that, as far as Su Yu is concerned, Chu Tianyang has already taken away one of his silver seeds.
Upon learning that the seed was the key to activating special abilities, Su Yu truly harbored murderous intent towards Chu Tianyang.
Even now, Su Yu's hatred for Chu Tianyang has not subsided with the end of the previous round of the survival killing game.
It's no wonder that his heart tightened when he heard what the red Rubik's Cube said.
"Haha, what does it matter? As long as Xueying can live well, I'll be content."
Having just finished a survival killing game, and especially after learning his score, which was not much lower than that of the team leader Chen Bin and even higher than that of An Qiluo, Chu Tianyang was in a great mood.
As for the reminder about the red Rubik's Cube, he completely forgot about it.
Fu Xueying, however, glanced at Su Yu with slight unease after hearing the evaluation of the red Rubik's Cube.
Seeing that the other person's expression was normal, Fu Xueying breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the red Rubik's Cube.
"Fu Xueying, you are the most charming of all the wives that Red Cube has ever seen. Although you are not the most beautiful, you have won an unprecedentedly high score in terms of temperament. If Chu Tianyang is compared to the ferocious giant wolf in the myth, then your existence is undoubtedly the wolf-binding rope that binds this giant wolf. Keep a good eye on this troublesome man in your home. Red Cube really looks forward to seeing you leave the cube space, live a peaceful daily life again, give birth to the crystallization of your love, and immerse yourself in the happy life of being a good wife and mother. Score: 2900 points, Grade B."
The Red Cube was highly praised for its handling of Xueying, even to the point of being the only shortcoming in the overall evaluation. The only drawback was its handling of Chu Tianyang, that reckless man.
"Thank you, I definitely will."
Fu Xueying bowed to the red Rubik's Cube. Although the bow was not deep, it was enough to show that she was truly grateful to the other party.
Not only did Fu Xueying have faith in Chu Tianyang, she secretly vowed that she and her husband would accumulate enough points to leave the Rubik's Cube Space together and live a happy life of their own.
The projection of the red Rubik's Cube onto the crowd first changed from Chen Bin to An Qiluo, then to Chu Tianyang and Fu Xueying, and finally settled on Su Yu's image after the evaluations of the others were completed.
"They're here."
Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that whether he could keep the secret or not depended on this one move.
"Su Yu, a newcomer with both talent and ability. Boldness and meticulousness are among your strengths, and you are also considerate of others' feelings. Your existence seems tailor-made for the survival game in the Rubik's Cube space. Most importantly, you know how to endure and are willing to put in extraordinary effort. Remember not to be arrogant. The red Rubik's Cube can predict that if things continue this way, you will thrive in the Rubik's Cube space. Score: 3800 points, S-rank rating!"
The moment Red Cube uttered those words, Chen Bin, Chu Tianyang, and Fu Xueying were stunned, their eyes widening in surprise.
Isn't the evaluation of Su Yu by the Red Cube a bit too high?
Moreover, what's going on with this score? As a newcomer, Su Yu scored higher than all the veteran players in the first survival killing game, which made Chen Bin, the team leader, lose face.
"Hey, Red Cube, are you sure you didn't miscalculate Su Yu's score?"
Before Chen Bin could speak, Chu Tianyang raised a question first.
"Please watch your tone. The Red Magic has always been fair and impartial, especially when it comes to scores. There is absolutely no favoritism beyond the scope of its authority. Moreover, each player's score was submitted to the administrator with higher authority the moment the survival killing game ended. If any player's score is abnormal, the administrator with higher authority will not allow it."
Even the good-natured Red Rubik's Cube couldn't help but become stern when Chu Tianyang questioned it in public.
"That's not what we meant; it was just a way of expressing surprise."
Fu Xueying quickly tugged at Chu Tianyang's sleeve, signaling her dim-witted husband to shut up.
"Red Cube, bring me Su Yu's score record. I need to know how he got such a high score."
Chen Bin frowned and spoke to the red Rubik's Cube in the center of the room.
"Okay, retrieving player Su Yu's score record, please wait..."
Without hesitation, the red cube immediately fulfilled Chen Bin's request.
A moment later, a list appeared in front of Su Yu's character projection.
Chen Bin and Chu Tianyang immediately went over and carefully observed the score of each item on the list.
"This isn't right, how did Su Yu kill so many zombies?"
Looking at the long list of kill records provided by the Red Cube, Chu Tianyang asked in confusion.
"There's nothing wrong with that. During the days I was separated from you, I was wandering around the city of Water Bear City, taking advantage of the terrain to set fires and cause violent explosions. It's only natural that I killed a lot of zombies."
Before the red Rubik's Cube could explain, Su Yu took over the conversation.
He didn't want the red Rubik's Cube to say anything more, which would alert Chen Bin and Chu Tianyang.
Without wasting words, Chen Bin continued to flip through the list until he saw the last score record. Only then did he turn his head, his eyes sharp as knives, staring unblinkingly at Su Yu.
"You dealt with the female zombie that was hunting you and Mao Xingzhou?"
This is what Chen Bin cares about most, because before this, they all thought that Mao Xingzhou had killed the mutant.
"Yes, Mao Xingzhou suggested splitting up and wanted me to be the bait. As a result, the female zombies targeted him. By the time I shook off a few Lickers and came back to support him, it was too late. Mao Xingzhou died at the hands of the female zombies, and the female zombies were also severely injured by him."
Su Yu succinctly recounted the lie he had fabricated beforehand.
"Hey, you really got lucky."
Chu Tianyang slapped his forehead, feeling utterly envious of Su Yu's luck.
Fu Xueying stomped her foot in anger, secretly resenting Chu Tianyang for his foul mouth that couldn't produce anything decent.
The words, once spoken by Chu Tianyang, immediately took on a different meaning. Had he forgotten how the Red Cube had reminded him earlier?
Chen Bin's brows did not relax after Su Yu's explanation; instead, they furrowed even more.
As for Mao Xingzhou's character, Chen Bin, as the regimental commander, knew it better than anyone else. Using Su Yu as cannon fodder was entirely possible.
But Mao Xingzhou is dead, so is what Su Yu said the truth?
Chen Bin did not doubt that Mao Xingzhou was using Su Yu as cannon fodder, but he also suspected that Su Yu had failed to help Mao Xingzhou in his time of need, or even worse, that he had used Mao Xingzhou as bait, waiting for Mao Xingzhou and the female zombie to fight to the death before jumping out to reap the benefits.
"Next is free shopping time. You can use your remaining points to buy any items you can afford. After you finish shopping, you can apply to leave this room and return to the real world. You will have about ten days of vacation. Please cherish this time. After the vacation, you will return to this room to participate in the next round of the survival killing game."
After the red cube finished speaking, it retracted the projection that had descended from the ceiling.
Both Su Yu's projection and the list recording his scores disappeared at this moment.
Chen Bin, An Qiluo, and Fu Xueying each used their spatial wristwatches to browse the item list provided by the red cube.
After they purchase those items, the items will be immediately sent to their respective spatial wristwatches.
Just as Su Yu was about to ask the Red Cube how to buy items since he didn't have a space watch, he caught a glimpse of Chu Tianyang walking quickly towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Stopping in front of Su Yu, Chu Tianyang raised his chin as he looked at the young man who was several years younger than him.
"Hey kid, did you get any loot after you killed that female zombie?"
Chu Tianyang's tone was casual and lacked any politeness.
"Yes, that female zombie dropped a Star Seed."
Su Yu didn't hide it; he knew he couldn't hide it anyway. Judging from Chen Bin and Chu Tianyang's demeanor, most of the other mutated zombies would drop the same reward after they died.
"Hand over the items."
Chu Tianyang crossed his arms and gave Su Yu a command.
"On what grounds?"
Upon hearing Chu Tianyang's words, Su Yu immediately became displeased.
Unexpectedly, this bastard treated him like a newcomer to the Rubik's Cube space, thinking he could be manipulated at will.
A single Star Seed is worth a thousand points. Putting aside its amazing mana-restoring effect, for a thousand points alone, he could buy anything else, why did he have to give it to this bastard?
"You killed that mutated zombie single-handedly without relying on your own strength. It's true that Mao Xingzhou is dead, but when he was alive, he was also a member of this team and received a lot of care from us. If you join this team, you are destined to receive our care as well. This Star Seed belongs to the entire team, not to you personally. Is that reason sufficient?"
Chu Tianyang spoke righteously and sternly, giving Su Yu no chance to refute.
"That's ridiculous. The silver seed I got from killing the zombie dog was also stolen by you. I killed that monster all by myself, and you didn't hold back at all when you were stealing it. As for the last female zombie, even if I didn't kill her alone, it has nothing to do with you. I advise you to watch your step. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish'?"
Su Yu swore to God that he had never felt such a strong killing intent towards anyone as he did now.
Seriously speaking, if Chu Tianyang dares to forcibly take it, Su Yu wouldn't mind fighting to the death with him.
Right now, everyone is inside the room with the red Rubik's Cube. No matter who kills whom, the other side will be ruthlessly eliminated.
Even if he were to die, he could take someone down with him. With this thought in mind, Su Yu was not afraid at all, and instead went up against Chu Tianyang.
