From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Midday.

The group returned to the square. The pillars were now filled with water in five slots. Each slot of water could be exchanged for nine pieces of bread and nine bottles of water. There were seventeen people present, so they used two slots of water to exchange for eighteen pieces of bread and eighteen bottles of water.

"This isn't enough to fill you up!"

The Black girl munched on the palm-sized, fluffy bread, drank water, and wailed, "This little bit of food is not enough to replenish our energy!"

The crowd fell silent, and most of them were already determined to expose the people from the other factions or to find all the undercover agents.

"Have you forgotten what I said? I have plenty of food and water, but on the condition that everyone cooperates."

Jiang Liu reiterated, "Of course, due to issues of racial discrimination and disunity, it's impossible to get everyone to open up to each other in such a short time. We need a strong person to suppress everything and offer tangible benefits, and then everyone can work together to improve their physical fitness..."

"cut!"

The alchemist didn't believe it, thinking Jiang Liu was Evelyn's tool to win over other powerful people and then seize their votes.

【Ms. Evelyn, it's your turn.】

The sound of the river flowing was drawn into a line and reached Evelyn's ears.

Evelyn understood immediately and said, "Let's continue our conversation from this morning."

"What's the point of continuing?"

The magician stared at Evelyn for a long while, making sure she couldn't be considered one of them, and couldn't help but sneer, "We're all undercover agents..."

Before he could finish speaking, Evelyn pulled out a bunch of slips of paper and said, "I wasn't talking about identity."

We can have all of them at the same time: civil officials, military generals, or undercover agents. So what's the difference between everyone who is an undercover agent?

Ultimately, it stems from our lack of trust and cooperation with each other.

Just like the first test.

"and then?"

Evelyn tore apart the false "peace," much to the alchemist's surprise, but he didn't intend to pretend anymore, saying, "Cooperation? You know very well that even people like us can't last too long without food."

"What I mean is, the key is the number."

Evelyn smiled slightly, then put on a serious face and asked, "You might be thinking that numbers are a resource in this Three Kingdoms War, but didn't the death of Yellow Beard make you think of anything?"

5-11 was initially in Jesse's possession, then ended up in the hands of a Black girl, and finally was stolen by Yellowbeard...

Whoever holds the number is in the most danger.

That's all.

Evelyn took the three bib numbers from Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying, then looked at Jack and O'Leary. The two exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and handed over their bib numbers as well.

After all, they are on the same side.

Evelyn divided the six bib numbers into two equal parts, placed them on the ground, and pushed them in front of the Wei and Wu districts, smiling as she said, "You can take them if you want."

The alchemist broke out in a cold sweat.

The magician was stunned.

The two dared not take it!

In the morning, they checked Yellowbeard's room; 5-11 was gone, either blown up or taken by someone else.

In short, Wei State only has five votes left on the surface. If they can get three more, they will have at least eight votes.

If the yellow-bearded man's number is picked up by one of their own, then they will have nine tickets.

Similarly, Wu Guo District will also have nine votes.

But the problem is!

If only those with numbers can be voted out, what happens to those without numbers?

No voting rights...

At the same time, there is no possibility of being voted on!

and so!

Having no number is actually the safest!

In that instant, everyone understood this point. Their lips trembled, and no one dared to take the six tickets from the Shu Kingdom region. The red-eyed man, the one-eyed old man, the red-nosed man, and the hooligan youth, who had no tickets, all breathed a sigh of relief at not having any.

At least until only two of the three kingdoms remain, they can continue to "play it safe" without having to rack their brains to think about cooperation, betrayal, or other conspiracies between factions.

All you need to do is exercise in your room every day.

Ellie Wang and Siwon from the Wu Kingdom exchanged a glance, gathered all six tickets together, and placed them on the ground. They said, "Shu Kingdom, we have seen through your plan. You hope that Wu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom will first weaken each other, and then you will send two people, one to kill and the other to pick up the number bibs, right?"

We won't fall for your tricks!

Why don't you two use our numbers and have a life-or-death struggle first?

"make a deal!"

Duanmu Ying chuckled, winked at Jiang Liu, grabbed the six bib numbers from the Wu Kingdom area, and then put away the six bib numbers Evelyn had laid out. "Now, our Shu Kingdom has twelve bib numbers!"

Ariwan Banner: "???"

Siobhan McDougall: "..."

"idiot!"

The alchemist snapped out of his daze and realized Evelyn's scheme—

At first, tearing away everyone's veil of pretense made them disdainful of pretending anymore, but it also caused them to relax a little.

It was precisely because of this slight lapse in concentration that the opposing side pressed their advantage, revealing that the person being voted for referred to the bib number itself, which gave rise to the idea in their minds that the person holding the bib number was the most dangerous.

After that, Evelyn's decision to give up her bib number and sit back and watch the fight went on further shook them, leaving them no time to think about anything else!

# Chapter 713 The Three Kingdoms in a Standoff (Part 8) There's Only One Way

"You...you all!"

Ailiwan realized she had been tricked, roared, and her Qi surged, transforming her from a 1.6-meter-tall little girl into a 2.3-meter-tall muscular Barbie.

Its muscles were bulging and solid, its entire body was blood red, and it emitted wisps of red steam.

One punch!

Heatwave strikes!

Duanmu Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Liu slowly extended a finger, blocking Duanmu Ying's path. Slow as a snail, yet swift as lightning, he gently touched the finger, unleashing a burst of Qi. With a slight twist, he caused Ai Liwang to spin upwards from the center of his outstretched fist, his back slamming heavily onto the ground.

Ailiwang was no weakling, and he was attacking in anger, so he was going all out. However, the gap between him and Jiang Liu was too great. With a little trickery, he was able to dissipate all of Jiang Liu's strength and make him lose his balance, causing him to fall headfirst.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; apart from those who cultivated, ordinary people were caught off guard and didn't even have time to react.

The alchemist, the magician, and Siwon were all tense, their eyes filled with murderous intent, and even the atmosphere around them seemed to distort slightly.

However, a thin, white, transparent, flame-like membrane appeared around Lu Jin's body, his nine orifices trembled slightly, and his eight meridians shook gently. The oppressive aura emanating from him made them dare not make any rash moves.

He alone is enough to crush everyone present!

Have you calmed down yet?

Jiang Liu, however, focused his attention on Ailiwang, extending his right arm. "There's no need to be so angry, is there? Didn't you tell us to take it?"

Upon hearing this, Ailiwang blushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, but she also began to trust Jiang Liu—with his abilities, he could definitely kill everyone present! The rules didn't forbid people like them from directly killing others! As long as the person who went to get the number in the end wasn't the one who actually killed them!

But why wasn't that done?

Alejandro González could only think of one possibility:

They were unwilling to clear the game through killing.

More importantly, they are the same kind of people!

If Jiang Liu and Lu Jin were only slightly better than the others, they would unite. But if they were significantly better, they would feel genuine respect.

Compared to the scheming and deceit among ordinary people, the interactions among cultivators are much purer, especially in the West, where the mercenary mentality of the survival of the fittest prevails, where the strong are everything! The weak can only adapt!

Grabbing Jiang Liu's right arm, Ailiwang got up, reverting to her original little girl form. She snorted coldly, shook off Jiang Liu's hand, and said to Siwon, "The one who voted 5-11 couldn't be Shu, at least Jiang Liu didn't vote. Let's go back to our room and train!"

After saying that, she took the lead, returned to the room she had chosen, and began lifting dumbbells.

Siwon glanced at Jiang Liu and Evelyn, then returned to the Wu Kingdom.

The Black girl and the hooded man looked at each other, and could only quickly run back to their rooms to begin their respective workouts.

"Let's go exercise too."

Evelyn was also startled, but thankfully she was unharmed. She patted her chest and said to Jiang Liu and the others.

"You decide, teacher." Jiang Liu chuckled, and together with Lu Jin, they stood guard on either side of Evelyn as they strolled leisurely toward the Shu Kingdom district.

Aurelia caught up and asked Evelyn, "Big sister, should we eliminate all the people from the Wei Kingdom region first?"

“We never intended to eliminate anyone.” Evelyn took the twelve bib numbers from Duanmu Ying and revealed some truths to the two of them. “Take the first route!”

"exercise?"

Jack frowned. "But O'Reilly and I don't have superpowers, and that little bit of food isn't enough to replenish our energy."

"We have plenty of water and food."

Jiang Liu touched his storage ring and took out three large boxes of bottled water, three large bags of flour, fresh vegetables and fruits, and corresponding kitchen utensils.

"Is...is this magic?"

O'Leary picked up a fresh apple, took a bite, and the crisp texture told her the answer:

This is absolutely not a smokescreen!

Jack also picked up a pear, took a bite, and the fresh juice splashed out, making his eyes widen. He almost said, "Amazing! Can you create something out of nothing?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Liu retrieved the food, water, and cooking utensils, and glanced at his storage ring. "I've prepared plenty of food and drinking water, as well as all the necessities in advance."

Enough for us to eat for ten years.
