Instantly.
The magician's face darkened, but a deep-seated fear and admiration for Jiang Liu also surfaced in his eyes.
fear.
It was because at the beginning, he and the alchemist believed that Evelyn was the leader of the Shu Kingdom, while Jiang Liu, this seemingly eccentric guy, was her mouth and hand double.
But now he was certain that Jiang Liu was the one who orchestrated all of this!
admire.
This is because the other party possesses such formidable strength, yet they are genuinely considering how to ensure the survival of as many people as possible.
Even though O'Leary was determined to kill someone through a vote, Jiang Liu gave her a chance. However, she was blinded by hatred and ignored her true enemy.
Now that the matter has been thoroughly discussed, and some people have proven their worth through their own "sacrifice," even if everyone still has their own thoughts, they will inevitably unite around Jiang Liu.
We must cooperate, at least until this matter is truly over.
Nothing more!
The ones who really want to see rivers of blood are those "vampires"!
They are explorers, mercenaries, veterans, and practitioners; they live not just to pursue money, and they should not give in to those guys' wishes!
Perhaps I should let go of my racism...
Looking at the appearances of Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and other people of East Asian descent, the magician seemed to be deep in thought.
"so--"
Jiang Liu walked up to the number bibs that had floated down from O'Leary's room and said to everyone, "Because O'Leary was an undercover agent and voted herself to death, if we don't pick them up, these twelve number bibs will most likely be randomly assigned to us."
Should everyone pick up the bib numbers and distribute them, amplifying the distrust caused by O'Leary and returning to a cutthroat voting process? Or should they work together to train, mend this rift of distrust, and try to fill those last few slots with water?
Naturally, no one went to pick up the bib number.
"Then let's get started now! Fill up the last few water tanks before dawn!" Jiang Liu called out, and took the lead towards the Shu Kingdom area.
Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying followed closely behind.
Evelyn is next.
Jack again.
The Wu and Wei districts returned to their respective rooms to begin their training, their hearts now united, seeking only cooperation—a crack in trust, even if stitched back together, will leave a scar…
But so what?
Aside from those who have grown up together in spiritual practice, even biological brothers and sisters cannot completely trust each other.
Therefore.
Trust is an abstract concept. It doesn't matter if it breaks down, just like a piece of cloth with a tear. As long as it's sewn up, it's still reliable and can still cover you up!
If you keep sewing and mending, you might even be able to embroider beautiful patterns!
the other side.
Inside the private room.
The wealthy were overjoyed to see the two explosions.
"Okay!"
"Two more explosions!"
"Exciting!"
"If the participants in the game were poor people or gamblers, even more people would die!"
"..."
But the robin understood that the Easterner had already united everyone else in Team Five!
Powerful, skillful, and strategic!
That's definitely not someone to mess with!
and so.
What should I prepare for the third test?
"Forget it, let's keep it simple. This fifth team has wasted too many days, and the other expedition teams selected by the branches are almost ready to assemble..."
Mind this.
The robin gave an order to the Cheshire Cat and the others, telling them to go and prepare...
···
As dawn broke, the indoor lights for the "Three Kingdoms Stand Together" test collaboration were turned on, and the grids in the pillars were completely filled.
Congratulations on clearing the game!
The closed door opened, and the Cheshire Cat, one hand on his hip and his rear end sticking out, congratulated everyone, but his words carried a hint of sarcasm, "Such a simple game, all you need is mutual trust, yet you still managed to lose three people. How incredibly stupid!"
# Chapter 719 Madman Kafmo
Everyone ignored Cheshire Cat's taunts, except for Jiang Liu, who responded by asking, "How many people are left in the other four teams?"
"You know it yourself."
The Cheshire Cat already knew that Jiang Liu possessed a peculiar ability to detect mental activity, but after speaking, it still said, "Team One has changed from eight to four people."
Team number two has been reduced from eleven to six.
Team number three still has five members.
Team number four lost one member, leaving five members.
Including your fifteen, there are thirty-five people in total.
The expressions on everyone's faces darkened slightly.
One hundred and one people arrived, but after just two games, only thirty-five remained—it's hard not to wonder whether the robin was actually selecting members of the expedition team, or if the game was simply designed to expose the depravity of human nature.
"What is the third test?"
It was Duanmu Ying who spoke.
Whether it was the trip to Hamunaptra, the journey to Amshe, or the trust game and the Three Kingdoms period she had experienced before, she seemed to be just a minor character, but her growth in experience was real. Her originally quirky personality also developed in a more unrestrained direction. "Tell us quickly, don't waste our time, the great treasure of Atlantis is still waiting for us!"
"...Come with me."
Without further ado, Cheshire Cat led Team Five back to the space where they had first entered the underground base.
Teams one, two, three, and four were already waiting there. They were all surprised to see that team five had fifteen survivors, but they immediately became vigilant.
Logically speaking, they have all passed both tests. Now that the robin has brought the five teams back together, there is a high probability that he wants to determine a winner among the five teams!
The more members Team 5 has left, the more dangerous it is for the other teams!
The captains of the four teams seemed to exchange a knowing glance, having already decided to unite and eliminate team number five in the third test.
"I think everyone is wondering what the third test is, right?"
As the gate at the front of the venue opened, Robin, Anselna, and a small group of wealthy people emerged. "They had built trust, learned to cooperate, and were already the beginnings of a perfect team, but they were still missing one thing to explore Atlantis."
That is wisdom!
Without wisdom, even if one finds Atlantis, one might not be able to enter. And even if one did enter, one would likely be killed quickly by the traps and mechanisms within Atlantis.
"So what exactly is the third test?"
Under the gazes of the crowd, some surprised and some calm, Jiang Liu broke the silence first, asking the robin, "Are we going to have to rely on riddles?"
"You have a lot of courage."
The robin looked on with admiration. "Please follow me, everyone."
Robin walked into the passageway first, followed by Ansuna, then the other tycoons, and then the violinist, the masked woman, the dead shooter, the puppet, and the Cheshire Cat. These five were Robin's bodyguards, referees, inspectors, and actual team captains for the five teams.
After entering the gate and passing through the passage, we arrived at another room. The interior space was not large, about 80 meters long and wide, similar to an indoor stadium, with rows of seats on the walls.
The ground is paved with square tiles in black and white, but there are some randomly arranged yellow tiles among them, with a gap of no less than ten meters between each tile.
"The following are the contents and rules of the third test—"
Robin, along with Ansuna and the other tycoons, walked from the side entrance to the upper audience area and announced, "Content:
Walk to the other side.
rule:
Article 1: No part of the body may come into contact with the black and white square floor tiles.
Article 2: The five teams cannot use the same method to reach the other side.
Article 3: All members of the same team must pass in the same way.
Article 4: If any member of a team fails to pass, the entire team is eliminated.
Article 5: Team members may help each other, but members who have reached the other side may not return to pick up other members.
Article Six: Unlike the previous two tests, those eliminated will not be punished with death. They can choose to leave with one million pounds or stay as logistical support for the expedition, participating in subsequent explorations of Atlantis.
The robin then gave the five teams five minutes to discuss their ideas before starting the tests in order from 1 to 5.
Knowing they wouldn't die, would get paid, and could choose to stay and participate in the exploration of Atlantis, many members of the other four teams besides Team Five began to doubt whether their deception and confrontation in the previous two tests were meaningful.
But they only had five minutes, so they didn't have time to think too much and quickly discussed a plan to pass this third "intelligence test".
"Why is the whole team eliminated if someone fails?" asked a hooded alchemist from team number three. "That's not fair! Out of the five of us, I'm the only alchemist. I can only carry two at most, or one on my back, and I can't turn back!"
The remaining two players definitely cannot reach ten meters in the standing long jump!
Without mastering Qi, the best standing long jump for an ordinary person is only a little over three meters, less than four meters. Even though the yellow square here is about half a meter long and wide, it allows one to run one or two steps before jumping, but the momentum is insufficient, so the maximum jump is only six or seven meters, not ten meters.
Moreover, the floor tiles in this room are quite slippery. If you fall and your body parts come into contact with the black and white square floor tiles, you will be eliminated!
"If you have passed the trust test and the cooperation test, you should be a perfect team, and a team will not abandon its teammates."
The robin said matter-of-factly, “Also, if you choose to carry your teammates across, then the remaining two members must also be carried by one of them.”
