Ch68 – The First Round of the Game is Over

The system’s voice coldly sounded.

【Asking the King to designate any two players to complete this order】 

The trainees sitting at the table were all tense and alert, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The Exorcist laughed, “This order is kind of interesting, quickly pick two and get it over with.”

 

 

Everyone’s cards were on the table and everyone only knew their own cards.
The King could only choose blindly and the two unlucky ones who got chosen must complete the order.

As soon as this order came out, it immediately attracted the audience’s attention. 

The barrages came nonstop.

 

[This order is too extreme, it’s just to let the people at the table kill each other]

[And it’s only three minutes… As expected, a veritable game of friends, waving.jpg]

[Looking at the power distribution of this table, there is no doubting the four S-ranks, the three A-rank and B-rank can also be excluded for the time being.
Although the Magician is C-rank, don’t even think about it.
There’s also C-rank Xu Sen but at least he’s a veteran, so there is still a D-rank rookie left, hmmm]

 

[D-rank? Good lord, there are still such ignorant newcomers joining this lineup of godly conflict]

[It’s just a rib, it can be recovered after taking it out, but the pain is really horrible, so can only pick a soft persimmon to squeeze]

In fact, there was no need for the barrage analysis.
The atmosphere at the game table had already begun to turn treacherous.

 

Many people turned their gazes on Xu Su, thinking that if they were picked, they would first consider using this D-rank for surgery. 

The Black Shaman did not announce the answer, instead slowly taking the King’s blind box.

The leader of the Shaman Society’s revealed wrist was extremely pale, like a corpse that had not seen the light for many years.
It could compare to Zong Jiu’s albinism.

[Congratulations to the King of this round for obtaining a special item: Swamp Potion (B-rank consumable)]

At this point, the trainees by the table exploded.

“As expected of an S-rank game table, a random draw from the King’s blind box is also a B-rank special item.
That’s so nice.”

“Depends on how the punishment goes.
If you fail, you will be wiped out on the spot.
You have to be alive to enjoy it.”

“Who knows who will be picked.
What if you can’t beat them? Die on the spot?”

The Black Shaman picked up the bottle of strange dark green potion from the blind box, shook it in his hand, and looked very satisfied with the reward. 

【Asking the King to designate any two players to complete this order】

The system prompt was repeated again.

 

“Then – seven of hearts and two of hearts.”

The Black Shaman turned over his hidden cards.
Very good, he didn’t screw himself.

The two people holding these two cards at the game table suddenly turned pale.

“Magician, what do you mean by this?!”

Cao Hongtao was furious.

Zong Jiu ignored the system’s announcement that his survival points would be deducted for attacking another trainee and raised his chin, “Nothing much.
Xu Su is the little bro I’m sheltering.
You want to hit the little brother so the big brother moves, is there a problem?” 

He watched Cao Hongtao who still wanted to step forward and the corners of his mouth curled up.

“You can test whether you are faster or my poker card is faster.
It happens that I exchanged so many chips in Las Vegas, even if the system deducts it, there is no need to worry about it.”

A chilling murderous aura quietly enveloped Cao Hongtao and his pupils instantly shrank.

For a moment, he felt that as long as he dared to take a step forward, he might really become unable to live or die at his own discretion. 

At this scene, Xu Su was so moved that he almost cried, “Jiu-ge sobsob…”

But now was not the time for his tears.

Because besides Cao Hongtao, the other person who was chosen at the game table was Xu Sen!

The blood-red numbers floating on top of the game table decreased every second. 

Three minutes, a full 180 seconds, it would be half a minute soon.

Xu Sen pulled out a gleaming and sharp knife.

 

Xu Su gritted his teeth, suddenly stood up from his seat, closed his eyes heroically, and pulled off his clothes facing Xu Sen.

“Old Xu, people have to be responsible.
I brought you here, I’m responsible, you dig it! A real man won’t cry, I can hold on!” 

Xu Sen, who had been silent all this time, gave Xu Su a look like he was a fool, and suddenly turned the knife in his hand and pulled it towards his own chest.

Drip, drip.

Blood spurted out from under his right chest like a spring and the petal-like white skin was immediately covered with scarlet.

Xu Sen’s head was oozing with cold sweat and blue veins burst out on his arms.
His bloodshot eyes stared at the red countdown on the game table. 

His body was covered with shocking blood, but he still firmly stuck the boning knife under his chest and slowly rotated.
Everyone only heard a crack.

This boning knife was an F-rank prop that instantly cut through bones.

Xu Su was stunned, “O-old Xu, what are you doing, are you crazy?!”

Seeing how he hadn’t realized yet, Xu Sen endured the pain and said angrily, “Can you use your brain? The information Jiu-ge gave isn’t enough?” 

Many onlookers were frightened by this scene.

[Fuck, why did he knife himself?】

[What’s going on? Isn’t it mutual hostility? Why did the style suddenly change into self-mutilation??】

The barrage suddenly flashed. 

[Wait, the system’s original text command is to get the rib of any player at the same table, there’s nothing wrong with taking your own rib.]

[Oh my god… who can think of it in such a short time]

[No, have you guys noticed, there is a loophole in the system order.
The Magician attacked that B-rank just now, and the system deducted his points because of the iron-clad law of not killing each other.
If you set the goal as taking someone else’s ribs from the beginning, it will not only be difficult to achieve, but even if you succeed, you will be deducted a large amount of survivor points.
No wonder Xu Sen said that the Magician was giving information.
Sigh, he is really a good person]

[You’re right, upstairs, after thinking about it now, it’s really hard to fight someone in three minutes and get a rib unless you target yourself from the beginning.
Not only save your points from being deducted, you can also complete the command] 

[Thinking about it this way, this C-class is really a man]

[Of course, not only calm but also cruel to himself in this situation, I’m into him]

 

The system was clearly digging pits for the trainees to jump in.

People were selfish, so when everyone heard this order, they would subconsciously choose to take bones from other people, not themselves. 

A lot of people came to this game table, but most of them chose to watch.

But Xu Sen’s unobtrusive behavior was unanimously appreciated and the Exorcist whistled and gave a thumbs up.

With twenty seconds left, Xu Sen let out a long breath and placed his bloody rib in the box where the system received the ordered items.

[C-rank trainee Xu Sen has completed the order and received a reward: number of blind box selections x1] 

At this moment, the Messiah, who had been on standby with a high priest’s rod, immediately began to quietly sing a hymn.

The golden light of healing rays gathered and circulated in the air.
After falling on Xu Sen, his face immediately became a little more colored and the wound was visibly recovered and no longer bleeding.

During the King’s game, trainees could not use 500 survival points to claim perfect recovery.
The rib could only be recovered after all three rounds of the game were over.
Fortunately, this table also came with a healer, so at least it was not so painful.
It could be considered a silver lining.

“Thank you, Your Excellency.” Xu Sen quickly thanked in a low voice. 

On the other side, Cao Hongtao spun in anxiety.

At least he was also a B-rank trainee.
After Xu Sen and Xu Su had such a conversation, he naturally figured out the key.
In addition, there was the Messiah’s full support.
So he decisively followed their example, holding a knife to his chest to stab.

Unfortunately, Cao Hongtao lost a lot of time.
By the time he figured this out, half of the time had passed, and he was naturally not as prepared as Xu Sen.

In his haste, he didn’t realize that he was holding an ordinary knife. 

Could a normal knife cut through bone?

After failing to break off a rib despite chopping at it multiple times, only causing himself more pain, Cao Hongtao cursed angrily with a pale face.

The viscous blood covered his whole body and the severe pain made him unable to hold the knife.

Too bad he didn’t have more time to replace it.

Ten seconds left.

Cao Hongtao’s eyes were bloodshot and he used all of his strength.

 

He was a trainee who had enhanced his strength, so when he used all of his strength, he really managed to break the ribs on one side.

In this way, originally, he could complete the task before the time was up. 

But unfortunately, after breaking one side of the rib, the ordinary knife broke under the force.
Half of it couldn’t bear the power and it plunged deep into his abdominal cavity, preventing the next action.

【Time’s up】

The system said coldly [B-rank trainee Cao Hongtao failed to complete the order, the punishment will be executed immediately]

“Aaaaaahhhhh-“ 

Cao Hongtao let out a scream.

His appearance was already quite miserable.

His chest was sliced open, revealing the white ribs inside, and one of the ribs was halfway chopped apart, dangling but unable to fall out.
It was extremely terrifying.

After the system’s ruthless order, it was as if an invisible hand went to work and instantly tore out the bones in his body one by one, also bringing out the still attached flesh and blood. 

What did a person look like after losing their bones?

No one knew the answer before, but now, everyone did.

That could no longer be called a person, it was a sack of skin with blood inside.
Because there was no skeleton to support it, it collapsed like jelly, pooling onto the ground, all of the facial features were twisted and indistinguishable.

[The punishment is completed, B-rank trainee Cao Hongtao is confirmed to be dead] 

“Blarg–“

Some newcomers with poor psychological quality were already retching.

Many people just came to watch the fun.
It was only now that they witnessed this deadly scene that they realized that the S-rank game table was not a joke.

At any rate, the organ trade in Las Vegas was far from the eye-catching sensation that was being obliterated by the King’s Game scene today. 

[The first round of the game is over, the next round of the game will start in ten minutes]

T/N: Sorry for the delayed chapter, life got unexpectedly busy.
