Chapter 233: Upper Hand

“You in the hole! Your best choice now is actually to stay inside and not come out! In this way, you still ought to have quite a high chance of surviving this one hour with your position exposed while being hunted down by all the people on this island.”

After the highly precise shot, which had made Bowl of Instant Noodles’ eyes close out of reflex, the “sickening” Sniper’s voice faintly reached his ears.

Hearing that “sickening” Sniper outside speaking once more, Bowl of Instant Noodles yelled out uncontrollably, “What do you mean by that?!”

“I’m prepared to borrow this situation—your position being exposed on everyone’s map—to do some things. You not coming out would be more beneficial to both you and I. I think you ought to understand!”

“Borrowing my exposed position on everyone’s map…”

Bowl of Instant Noodles’ mind spun quickly, understanding what Feng Luo meant in just a few seconds!

F*ck me! Using me as bait to ambush the people coming over! Beneficial to me, my ass!

Understanding the words of the Sniper outside, a look of bitterness instantly appeared on Bowl of Instant Noodles’ face. Holding the spare alloy sword in his hand, he could not resist jumping out.

However, Feng Luo’s subsequent words made him stop for a moment and think twice!

“If you stay there and don’t move,” said the Sniper, “then after this hour has passed, I can let you go and not kill you! If you come out, think about that shot just now. Let me just tell you that the damage I do now is only minor. If critical points were hit, it’d only be about a 4,000-plus damage coefficient!”

“4,000-plus!”

Hearing this astounding damage coefficient, Bowl of Instant Noodles looked even more hesitant.

Other than a spare alloy sword and a pair of shoes he now had on him, the other defense equipment all had not been “unlocked”; even as a Light Armor Warrior, his HP only just reached 3,000!

This meant that the opponent had the ability to finish him off with just one shot!

With the highly precise shooting demonstrated by the opponent just now, he believed it would not be too hard for the opponent to hit his critical spots once he jumped out!

Hesitatingly for a few seconds once longer, Bowl of Instant Noodles shouted toward the outside, “Do you mean what you say?”

Bowl of Instant Noodles had to admit that regarding Feng Luo’s promise, he indeed felt quite inclined.

It was important to remember that in order to qualify for this “battle royale” game, he had spent much time and energy and had even wasted a few thousand credits to complete the preceding missions. More important to consider were the astonishing mission rewards seen on the transport aircraft from before! Billions of high-grade energy crystals and a pile of valuable but unavailable high-quality energy crystal cores!

The rewards of this mission were definitely the richest he had ever heard of throughout his time playing this game! It was impossible for anyone to willingly give up the chance to win such a humongous fortune!

He had initially felt hopeless due to Feng Luo’s ability and being randomly selected. Now, after hearing Feng Luo’s words, his hopes had risen quite a bit!

After all, Feng Luo’s whole body of equipment was absolutely “rad,” in addition to the shooting he had demonstrated just now. It would not be impossible for him to kill off all the “players” who would come after having seen his position.

With Feng Luo ambushing them from the side, surviving through this hour might not be impossible after all!

Just by making it past this hour, 100 killing points could be earned straight away. Even though that would not enable him to unlock such “rad” equipment like that of the Sniper, he would definitely catch up with most of the normal players and also avoid the fate of being “chosen” today at noon.

More importantly, it could give him six hours of unexposed map-use time! As he saw it, this was undoubtedly an even more useful reward than 100 killing points. Because as long as they were players who had sufficient ability, they would definitely be able to make use of this point to create a “snowball” effect.

Although his own equipment was not considered the best, Bowl of Instant Noodles was nonetheless quite confident in his own abilities. If not, he would not have considered that he might have a definite chance of winning battling against the rebel Elite Reconnoiter in a situation where he had extremely poor equipment!

As long as he could survive and make good use of the next six hours to “snowball” his equipment and points, then… It might not be impossible for him to survive to the end and obtain a share of the reward of billions of credits!

He might even be able to eliminate all the competing opponents and solely earn all of the energy crystals! It went without saying that this same point was shared by all the players who had joined the death game!

“I can promise you.” From inside the hole in the rock, Bowl of Instant Noodles rolled his eyes and shouted loudly, “But to prevent you from going back on your words, I want the signing of an electronic contract!”

“You can choose to accept what I had just said,” the Sniper shouted back, “or you can choose to accept a bullet. Your time for choosing is down to ten seconds! Ten, nine…”

The Sniper’s tone left no room for negotiation. Straight away, he started to count down.

“F*ck!” Bowl of Instant Noodles secretly cursed.

But hearing the continuously reducing count in his ears made him helplessly forgo his impractical idea.

“I promise! I’ve promised… I hope that you can keep your promise!”

“Very well. Now, then, you shall just stay in the hole!”

Outside the big hole in the rock, Feng Luo put down the Silver Wing. His finger had remained constantly on the trigger.

His current position was in a tree facing the side of the hole in the rock, where he only needed to advance less than half a meter upward to have the shooting angle to hit Bowl of Instant Noodles. But, given Feng Luo’s prudence, how could he have wasted four killing points on the bullet he’d used to deter Bowl of Instant Noodles and force him to talk about their terms of cooperation?

In fact, there was one more true purpose for that shot. And that was to seal off the sight that Bowl of Instant Noodles could have used to see him in action without raising his head!

After the shot—in the short period of time when the few lines of conversation between him and Bowl of Instant Noodles were being spoken—Feng Luo had already silently climbed up to the top of this tree with his high agility!

If Bowl of Instant Noodles had rejected, then it would have only been a matter of spending another four killing points for one more bullet!
