I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

Wu Baohua turned his gaze to Su Yu, waiting for him to make a decision.

Su Yu stared at the high school girl in front of him, trying to see through her.

It's understandable that Su Yu was being overly cautious. After all, Wu Baohua, a deliveryman who had been working in society for many years, was able to remain calm and composed after learning that he was dead and had arrived in the Rubik's Cube Space, where he was about to participate in a survival killing game.

It's highly unusual for a high school girl to be so emotionally stable.

As the saying goes, something unusual is bound to happen!

"No, is that not allowed?"

Wearing a white dress, a white beret, and white knee-high socks, and leaning on an exquisitely crafted cane, she looked like a girl straight out of a comic book, asking Su Yu pitifully.

It looked just like a kitten about to be abandoned by its owner.

Cute as she may be, cuteness can't put food on the table, much less be the means for her to survive in the Rubik's Cube space!

After much hesitation, Su Yu did not give a direct answer.

"What's your name?"

Su Yu wasn't stupid; he naturally saw through the high school girl's act of feigning helplessness.

"My name is Lu Jin."

The high school girl pouted, lowered her head, and stole glances at Su Yu.

"Don't act like a spoiled princess. If you're willing to listen to us, then come with us."

After much hesitation, Su Yu finally agreed to the high school girl's request.

He could tell that the girl's clothes were quite nice; although simple, they were not plain.

Especially the cane in the other person's hand, which seemed to be an ornament to highlight the girl's playfulness and cuteness, but was quite valuable, at least equivalent to one or two years' income for an average person.

"I will be a good boy/girl."

The girl named Lu Jin smiled sweetly and obediently stood next to Su Yu.

"Young man..."

The housewife then came to her senses, scrambled to her feet, and moved closer to Su Yu.

"I'm sorry, my abilities are limited. As you can see, I have two newcomers with me, and I really can't take care of you."

Before the housewife could finish speaking, Su Yu refused her request.

What a joke! This elderly housewife isn't even good enough to be cannon fodder; she's just a burden.

Su Yu will only do what he is capable of, and he will not put himself in danger because of a momentary surge of saintly compassion.

He had already done more than enough by wasting his time explaining the rules of the Rubik's Cube to this housewife while everyone else remained silent.

Helping is a favor, not helping is one's right; life and death are left to fate, and no one can say anything else.

The housewife was speechless, clearly not expecting that Su Yu wouldn't even ask her name.

The three men and one woman, who had been disciplined by An Qiluo and were disheveled, had now woken up.

The cuckolded man was about to make a move, but Chu Tianyang's sharp shout silenced him, and he suppressed his impulse.

"Tell me, how did you all die?"

Before the red Rubik's Cube appeared, Chen Bin was not idle either, and began to inquire about the cause of death of everyone present.

According to the newlyweds, deliveryman Wu Baohua died in a car accident, high school girl Lu Jin died in an accident from falling from a height, housewife died from a sudden heart attack, and the three men and one woman, disheveled, died at the scene of being caught in an extramarital affair.

It's truly a miserable situation for a man who gets cuckolded. He works hard to earn money, only to have his wife cheat on him during their marriage, and even have sex with two men at the same time.

The cuckolded man led a group to catch the adulterer in the act. Upon witnessing this scene, he became enraged and grabbed one of the men, throwing him out of the window.

The man who was thrown off the building by the cuckolded man was the same man who had said he was going to kill his lover.

When the cuckolded man was throwing away his second lover, the one who had advised him to be more forgiving, he accidentally fell down the stairs with him.

Seeing her husband and two lovers die right in front of her, surrounded by a bunch of people catching them in the act and taking pictures like crazy, the woman, feeling ashamed to live any longer, also collapsed.

"Live well. What kind of woman can't you find? Why hang yourself from this crooked tree at this moment?"

Chu Tianyang looked at the cuckolded man with a hint of sympathy and beckoned him over.

Chu Tianyang glanced at Su Yu and thought to himself, "This guy really struck gold."

Even if that delivery guy can't be a good teammate, he can at least be a decent bait.

And that high school girl, although her physical fitness is a bit lacking, is still someone who can be used.

The main problem was that those two chose Su Yu themselves, forcing them, the veteran players, to compete with the other side for the newcomer, which made Chu Tianyang lose face.

Thinking to himself that these two would be a good match, having suffered so much following Su Yu, he naturally thought of them.

When the time comes, joining their little group won't be a matter of attitude anymore.

They would absolutely not accept these two newcomers without paying a certain price.

To put it bluntly, whether these two newcomers can stick with Su Yu until the end and see him again is still uncertain.

Chu Tianyang didn't think Su Yu could provide these two newcomers with much protection.

At least compared to those four veteran players who have experienced many survival killing games, they are far inferior.

"Hey bro..."

The cuckolded man, who was trying to persuade the adulterer to be more magnanimous, approached Chu Tianyang and struck up a conversation with him.

"Get out of here."

Without saying a word, Chu Tianyang kicked the adulterer in the stomach, sending him flying.

He was disgusted by this guy, even though he was a married man.

Chu Tianyang didn't want to be fighting a bloody battle in front of him while two guys were leering at Fu Xueying from behind.

Chen Bin remained silent, pondering to himself how to pass this survival killing game.

An Qilu remained silent as always, unwilling to concern herself with the trivial matters of the team.

Fu Xueying fully respects Chu Tianyang's decision, and she also hates this kind of guy who is unfaithful to his marriage.

"Judging from your accents, are you from Liaocheng?"

Su Yu smiled and asked the remaining two men and one woman.

"Oh my, could it be someone from Liaocheng?"

After being kicked by Chu Tianyang, the adulterer got up from the ground and turned around to fawn over Su Yu again.

"I'm not from your hometown, so don't try to get close to me right away. I'm just curious about the place where your accident happened. Is it called Xinyue Hotel?"

Su Yu revealed another place name, and upon hearing it, the cuckolded man next to Chen Bin and the others, as well as the remaining two men and one woman, all looked somewhat uneasy.

It seems he guessed right!

Su Yu thought to herself that the three men and one woman were the ones who woke her up in the hotel that morning.

"How...how did you know?"

Another adulterer spoke up, asking uneasily.

"Isn't it a coincidence? I had something to do that day and happened to be staying at the Xinyue Hotel. But then again, do I need to explain to you? Go wherever you want, I was just asking casually."

Su Yu didn't intend to accept the two men and one woman either. He already had Wu Baohua and Lu Jin by his side, so there was no need to bring three unstable factors along.

Even if you want to increase the number of your companions, you have to take it one step at a time and not be too hasty.

As the old saying goes, haste makes waste; the ancients were right.

The housewife pleaded with Chu Tianyang and the others to take her along, but was refused again.

Besides the fact that she was a housewife, Chen Bin and the others had another reason for refusing her: the woman had previously wanted to rely on Su Yu.

Why would they want something that Su Yu wouldn't even take? Neither Chen Bin nor Chu Tianyang wanted to be a junk collector.

Left with no other choice, the remaining two men and one woman teamed up with the housewife to form a temporary squad.

As if appearing on cue, the red Rubik's Cube slowly made its appearance as soothing music played.

"Welcome to the Rubik's Cube Space. I am the manager of this room—the Red Rubik's Cube."

"In this survival killing game, the mission is to survive on a deserted island and collect seven totem stamps. Players who collect all seven totem stamps can end the game early. Players who do not collect all the totem stamps will be considered to have failed the mission and will be eliminated at the end of the game."

"Because the organizers of this survival killing game will provide firearms within the themed world, Red Cube will not provide any additional weapons. Each newcomer will receive a set of protective clothing and a jungle dagger."

"Protective clothing can effectively improve players' physical fitness, and the jungle knife will help you survive better in the tropical jungle after entering the game."

"Due to the special circumstances of this round of survival killing game, players in the same room are allowed to kill each other and collect totem stamps from each other. Killing other players in the same room will not result in a penalty. Of course, you can also choose to cooperate and work together to deal with outsiders."

"Finally, I wish you all the best. Red Cube looks forward to seeing you all in this room again."

The red Rubik's Cube's words surprised everyone.

Allowing players in the same room to fight each other overturned the rules she had previously set.

The newlyweds were filled with anxiety and wary of each other.

In particular, Su Yu and Chu Tianyang, the cuckolded man and the two adulterers, immediately turned their gazes to each other.

As the red Rubik's Cube finished speaking, several iron frames slowly rose from under the floor in the center of the room.

On the iron rack, there was a box containing protective clothing for the new recruits, and next to the box was a long dagger.

The newlyweds went to get their protective suits and daggers, but Su Yu turned his attention back to the red Rubik's Cube.

"Red Rubik's Cube, please help me heal my body."

Su Yu needs to ensure that his body is in the best condition when he enters the game.

These days, sparring with Esdeath has caused Su Yu to accumulate many hidden injuries.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the cube floating in mid-air paused for a moment, then turned around, revealing a surprised expression on the cartoon girl on the nine screens.

"I didn't expect you to work so hard. Even after returning to the real world, you haven't forgotten to train."

Su Yu's request was naturally met by the red Rubik's Cube.

As his body was enveloped in a burst of white light, Su Yu felt his condition return to its peak in a short period of time.

While stretching his body, Su Yu spoke to Wu Baohua and Lu Jin.

"Hurry up and put on your protective gear, and put your dagger away. I can't guarantee you'll have time to change once you're in the game."

Pretending not to have heard Red Cube say that players in the same room could fight each other, Su Yu said to Wu Baohua and Lu Jin that he wanted to see their reactions.

Without hesitation, Wu Baohua opened the box containing the protective suit, quickly took off his work clothes, and put on the new protective suit.

Lu Jin hesitated for only a few seconds before changing into her protective suit.

It wasn't until she took off her white dress and knee-high socks that Su Yu realized that this high school girl was actually disabled!

"hiss......"

Su Yu gasped, because he saw that Lu Jin's left leg was a prosthesis from the knee down.

Because the prosthesis was made so well, Lu Jin's walking posture wasn't so noticeable.

It turns out that the cane in this high school girl's hand was not just a decoration!

"this......"

Su Yu was completely stunned. So, in his eyes, wasn't Lu Jin just a burden?

"Haha, that kid's in trouble."

Upon seeing that Lu Jin was disabled, Chu Tianyang couldn't stop smiling.

It wasn't that he lacked compassion, but rather that Chu Tianyang felt genuinely happy to see Su Yu in trouble.

Lu Jin stole a glance at Su Yu, taking in his reaction.

Fortunately, the other party didn't immediately turn hostile and say they wouldn't care about her anymore, which relieved Lu Jin.

"Don't worry, even though I look like this, I still have some fighting ability."

After putting on her protective suit, Lu Jin picked up her crutches and got up from the ground.

"I hope so, otherwise it will be too difficult for you to survive in the Rubik's Cube space."

Su Yu sighed. He wouldn't go back on his word, but he would kick Lu Jin out of the team just because she was disabled.

Judging from Lu Jin's appearance, she has no problem walking normally.

Running would be inconvenient for her prosthetic leg, but fortunately she is light and flexible. As long as Lu Jin is obedient enough, Su Yu would not mind helping him.

At least, it won't be like Cheng Li, dying a meaningless death.

Moreover, with the protective suit on the outside, the prosthesis is not so easy to fall off.

"Your eyes seem to have some problems too. Fortunately, this is the Rubik's Cube Space. Once you survive this survival killing game and return to this room, you can spend points to have the red Rubik's Cube heal you."

Upon closer inspection, Su Yu discovered that Lu Jin's right eye was actually a prosthetic eye.

Although it's incredibly lifelike, the left eyeball moves while the right eyeball doesn't, which is too obvious.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Lu Jin's eyes lit up.

"That's wonderful!"

The defects in her right eye and left leg are scars that she can never erase for the rest of her life.

Despite being born into a wealthy family, Lu Jin longed to be able to jump and run like an ordinary person and observe the world with her two eyes.

Su Yu's words undoubtedly gave Lu Jin tremendous hope.

"Little brat, let's focus on surviving first."

Through the white beret, Su Yu gently ruffled Lu Jin's hair.

"What do you mean, 'little brat'? I'm already twenty years old, a sophomore in college, a proper university student, okay?"

Lu Jin protested, noting that Su Yu was younger than her.

"I......"

Su Yu swallowed the word "fuck" that was on the tip of his tongue.

He really misjudged him!

I always thought Lu Jin was just a high school student, but I didn't expect that she was already twenty years old and a sophomore in college.

"I just look young. Even if you're a sophomore in college, you're still just a little girl in front of me."

Su Yu's lips curled up slightly, subtly showing off.

So what if he's twenty? He's twenty-three this year.

In a few years, when I walk down the street, I'll be called "Uncle" by kindergarten kids.

"Keep bragging."

This Rubik's Cube space can even cure one's own disability, so what else could Lu Jin not believe?

But seeing Su Yu's mature demeanor, she still stubbornly insisted.

At this moment, Wu Baohua, who had changed into protective clothing, also came over.

"You two stop bickering. Neither of you is older than me. To me, you're like younger brothers and sisters. If you need anything, you should rely on your older brother."

Despite saying this, Wu Baohua showed no signs of using his age as a qualification.

Compared to Zeng Fuyuan's politeness, Su Yu preferred Wu Baohua's approach, which subtly expressed his attitude without saying anything excessive.

The red Rubik's Cube had already started its countdown. Su Yu gestured for Wu Baohua and Lu Jin to stand closer to him.

Looking at Su Yu's group, which had a fairly harmonious team atmosphere, Fu Xueying, who was part of Chen Bin's small group, couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Looking around, the atmosphere was deathly still. With Mao Xingzhou's death, the only guy who could liven up the team was gone.

Even though Mao Xingzhou has all sorts of flaws—he's lecherous, arrogant, and always causing trouble—Fu Xueying always hopes that a simpleton will pop out and liven up the team atmosphere at times like these.
