"I see!"

O'Leary understood completely. "You were determined to go with the first option from the very beginning!"

However, due to mutual distrust and the need to further clarify the rules of this test, the information that you brought sufficient food and water was not released immediately.

And you're right too. If we had just announced it, they wouldn't have sought cooperation. Instead, they would have united to wipe out our entire Shu Kingdom and then taken your magical ring!

But things are different now!

We have twelve votes, and you possess the overwhelming military force to deter them... With everyone working together, it's possible!"

Bingo!

Duanmu Ying snapped her fingers. "However, even you guys need to train for twelve hours every day to get food and water!"

"no problem!"

Jack immediately agreed.

O'Leary also said, "With plenty of food and water, as well as vegetables and fruits, I would naturally be willing to sell my labor."

Although the mechanical training was indeed tedious, they could accept it as long as there was enough food.

They have experienced far more difficult circumstances, let alone now.

As long as everyone doesn't scheme against each other or vote randomly, they can persevere for four or five years, let alone four or five!

"Then let's all work hard and sweat it out!"

Evelyn encouraged, "And since we're a team, we need to further increase the trust between each other. How about we each keep one of the twelve bib numbers for one day? But it's agreed that no one can vote, to avoid any unforeseen problems."

Lu Jin nodded.

Duanmu Ying agreed.

Jack didn't have many objections.

Aurelia remained silent for a moment, glanced at the magicians and alchemists of the Wei Kingdom, and finally nodded.

Jiang Liu glanced at O'Leary without showing any emotion and said, "In that case, let each of us keep it for one day."

As a result, in the Shu and Wu regions, some were running, some were jumping rope, and some were lifting weights, all seemingly determined to take the first path to the end.

Wei State District.

The magician frowned and asked the alchemist, "What do you think we should do next? Join forces with Wu and launch a surprise attack on Shu?"

"It's pointless."

The alchemist looked bitter.

Initially, he misled others, causing them to seek multiple identities, one of his purposes being to disrupt the "find the undercover agent" game.

Without him.

As long as everyone distrusts each other, the "undercover agent" will not think about secretly plotting with other factions, but will focus on the faction they belong to, thereby stabilizing the internal situation.

Of course, to be honest, since he had drawn the identity of "Wu Kingdom spy" from the beginning, he had thought about cooperating with Wu Kingdom. After all, he had three votes, plus the other party's six votes, for a total of nine votes. If he could also win over the magician, he could completely eliminate Shu Kingdom first.

But then he worried that Evelyn of Shu might secretly send someone to discuss cooperation with Wu, and then... then the magician came to him, saying he wanted to join Jesse of Wu.

Unexpectedly, it was Yellow Beard who died, and this incident led the Shu Kingdom to completely finalize its voting rules, and on this basis, they voluntarily brought out all their own number bibs...

Currently, the Shu Kingdom controls twelve bib numbers. Can they trust Evelyn and others' noble character?

【cannot! 】

The alchemist had the answer.

At least in the first game, both he and the Magician had the idea of ​​tricking Jiang Liu. Putting themselves in Jiang Liu's shoes, they would have thought they didn't have such a broad mind.

and so!

We must find a way to get all the tickets back from Shu!

# Chapter 714 The Three Kingdoms in a Standoff (Part 9) Coercion and Enticement

"Depend on!"

"what happened?"

"How could that Easterner conjure up food?"

"..."

Inside the private room.

The wealthy men launched into a tirade of abuse.

Collaborative level completion?

What they want to see—

It's a power struggle between three factions!

It's a facade of harmony, but underneath it's a tale of intrigue and backstabbing!

It's the cunning face of voters when they cast their ballots!

It's the despair of those being voted for when they discover they've been voted for, and the brilliance of the final explosion!

But now?

The Shu Kingdom secured twelve votes through strategy and strength, and one of its members even possessed a large amount of food and water! They certainly didn't want to see the remaining seventeen people spending the rest of their time exercising.

This son of a bitch~ It's not like this gym was built for them!

"Cheshire Cat, what's that ring on that guy's hand?" Robin asked, pointing to the storage ring on Jiang Liu's hand through the surveillance camera.

"An alchemical item with its own internal space, which can be used to store items."

Cheshire Cat was also in the private room at this time, and was equally surprised that Jiang Liu possessed such a magical artifact that could store things. "Even great magicians and alchemists might not be able to create such an item."

Very rare... Boss, we should stipulate that they shouldn't be allowed to bring any personal belongings during testing.

These words, however, gave the robin a headache.

Not carrying any personal belongings?

Ordinary explorers and mercenaries are fine with it, but those "freaks" might not agree. Some "freaks" even need alchemical items to be able to fight.

"We need to find a way to completely seal those guys' abilities in the future!"

Ansuna frowned.

Jiang Liu and Lu Jin's power reminded him of Imhotep—

Over the past year, thanks to his "memories of his past life," Imhotep's cultivation has become twice as effective, and his strength has increased very rapidly. He has also been learning modern scientific knowledge, following Jiang Liu's instructions, living with the Medgar warriors, and devoting everything he has to the cause of transforming the desert into an oasis.

During this time, Ankrona approached Imhotep, but the latter, having experienced Ankrona's betrayal, felt extremely sorry for his past self from thousands of years ago and thus refused Ankrona's invitation, choosing instead to atone for his sins by planting trees.

Indeed.

The Imhotep from thousands of years ago and the Imhotep of today are not the same soul in the strict sense, but since he has replicated the complete memories and consciousness of the Imhotep from thousands of years ago, he naturally believes that he must repay the sins of that time.

But the pharaohs are now history.

and so.

He chose to plant trees and create forests.

This is both what "Selkaite" expects and his process of atonement.

After being rejected by Imhotep, Anklua joined the G-Society by chance and learned that this power had spread all over the world. She decided to use her talent and beauty to climb the ranks and eventually became the vice governor, hoping to eventually rule the world.

However, those who possess magical powers are an unstable factor!

Having memories of her past life, Ansuona clearly understands how destructive powerful individuals among these people can be when they harness the power of heaven and earth.

Destroying a city would be a piece of cake!

The robin, unaware of Ansuna's thoughts, looked unconcerned, put his arm around her waist, and laughed, "Completely sealing their abilities is fair to ordinary people, but not to them."

Those powers were all obtained by enduring the pain of tormenting themselves.

And you don't need to be too anxious, Ansulna. Do you really think they can just obediently charge and store water?

Since the members of Wuguo District no longer have a bib number, they have no right to vote and no possibility of being voted for, so naturally they don't need to worry too much.

But would the people of Wei Kingdom believe that the people of Shu Kingdom wouldn't abuse their right to those twelve votes?

The seeds of distrust are sown in the very first test!

as predicted!

On the monitor screen, the alchemist and magician did not use the gym equipment in the room to exercise like the others. Instead, they took out their four bib numbers and forcibly ordered the red-eyed man, the red-nosed man, the hooligan youth, and the one-eyed old man to accept them.

The four of them were naturally unwilling.

but--

The alchemist's right arm gleamed with a metallic sheen. He slapped the one-eyed old man to the ground, grabbed his neck, causing the old man's face to flush red, and said to the other three, "Are you sure you don't want to accept it?"

"receive!"

"I want a race bib!"

Give it to me!

The three men gritted their teeth and took the three bib numbers one by one.

Then, the alchemist released his right hand and tossed the last number into the arms of the coughing one-eyed old man, saying, "My last number is yours."

The one-eyed old man looked terrified, trembling as he clutched the bib number. His eyes, as he looked at the alchemist, were filled with fear and a hint of resentment.

The alchemist noticed it, but didn't care. He said, "I used to want to be a good person, but now I think I was a bit stupid. I have power, why should I care about the feelings of you weaklings?"

Your knowledge may be needed in future explorations of Atlantis, and we will ensure your safety.

But not now.

"Aren't you afraid I'll give all the numbers to the Shu Kingdom?" the one-eyed old man asked, his voice stern but his heart filled with fear.

"Then you can send it over."
