All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 511: The Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (27)

Zhou Hao stood calmly in the center, listening to the mechanical, monotonous voice: "Player R37, please state your answer within three minutes."

Zhou Hao’s gaze fell on the people above the three cages around him, looking somewhat regretful.

He only drew One Star difficulty, and the final reward was just 3,000 points, which would be squandered in no time.

However, One Star difficulty is quite safe, and the three people playing with him are the ones he knows best.

Zhou Hao waited for the three to respond, but after a minute passed, none of them answered, leaving him a bit puzzled and increasingly anxious.

He noticed that the three were stunned, as if caught in some kind of decision-making dilemma.

Zhou Hao felt uneasy and increasingly tense.

If he failed to answer within three minutes, he would face punishment too. He had seen players exceed the time limit and get punished before, with all the cages opening, and the beasts inside tearing them apart.

Zhou Hao clenched his fist. What were these three doing? Was it that hard to decide?

The R-numbered players present were also somewhat puzzled.

One Star difficulty, with your most trusted people playing along, shouldn’t pose much of a challenge, right?

Having been here for months, they had already learned that there would never be any deceitful hints leading to fatal outcomes.

Since their lives weren’t at risk, other stringent conditions should be quickly resolved, especially with trusted teammates around.

Just as everyone was tense, the people above the three cages finally spoke.

It was clear that they didn’t look very well.

As the time nearly ran out, Zhou Hao chose Cage No. 2. When the black cloth over Cage No. 2 was unveiled, revealing it was indeed empty, Zhou Hao let out a long breath.

What were those three up to? He needed to go ask them clearly.

"I don’t know what happened." Lu Shanyang watched as Zhou Hao quickly ran out, followed by the three others who also looked unwell.

The R-numbered players surrounded the four, while Qiann Yan remained in her seat, not following over. The story hadn’t changed yet, so she knew what had occurred.

"Ma Sheng, what were you doing just now?" Zhou Hao was full of anger, "If you hesitated any longer, I would’ve been doomed. What was worth hesitating over?"

Ma Sheng, Ma Fei, and Xu Lizhi were the three Zhou Hao knew best. Among them, Ma Sheng and Ma Fei were siblings.

In response to Zhou Hao’s accusation, Xu Lizhi spoke up: "I was not only deducted all my points, but I also owe 50,000 points."

"What?" Zhou Hao was stunned, "How did this happen?"

Ma Fei said: "When I was about to press the green button, the screen indicated that if I told the truth, I would lose all my points and owe an additional 50,000 points."

"It’s not really Zhou Hao’s fault, it’s the game’s mechanism, and it’s testing us," reasoned Ma Sheng, the team leader, "Fortunately, Zhou Hao still has points to maintain our basic living."

Zhou Hao came back to his senses: "Mm, it’s just a mishap. I still have points, and since it’s because of me, all the food and drink will be on me from now on."

Zhou Hao’s words made Ma Sheng and the other two feel much more at ease.

However, the R-numbered players present were still not relaxed.

Months of relaxation had made them completely forget the place was called Death Game Island, where countless veteran players died every day.

Why hadn’t any of them, the newcomers, died yet? Didn’t they find that odd?
