_2 Chapter 1245: Chapter 1126 I am a Barbarian!
_2 A faint light source appeared in the distance.
Looking at its shape, it appeared to be a glossy black sphere with so silvery white spots scattered on it, rather like – a miniature spherical universe?
ṅονǤᴑ.сο
“Ding!!”
The sound of equipnt booting up echoed.
Beneath everyone’s feet, white light rings lit up simultaneously, illuminating the surroundings.
...
It was only with this light that Qi Ye realized the number of people here was far more than he had anticipated!
A crowd stood in the light circles beneath their feet, forming a circle around the black ball in the center that looked like a miniature universe.
Between the people in the front row and the black ball, there were red arrows pointing towards the central black sphere.
Qi Ye turned around to look behind him, finding only an endless expanse of darkness.
They seed to have been suddenly transported to an isolated space.
“What kind of place is this?”
“The developnt team is getting more and more outrageous!
They can’t even be bothered to set up the scene?”
“Given the aliens in the previous chapters, are we going to be caught by aliens now?
Are we inside an alien spaceship?”
“So, should we try to escape?”
“What is that black ball?”
“What do those arrows an?”
…
The scene imdiately turned into a marketplace, with everyone beginning to chitter-chatter in discussion.
Qi Ye took a look around, finally realizing:
The whole scene was full of players?
The reason this chapter hadn’t been unlocked before was that there weren’t enough people to play together?
Did they need 100 players to start the ga?
As he thought, he observed the other players on the scene, realizing that the skin tones were all very diverse, and it seed that players from all over the world had been gathered together for this one ga.
The na of the fifth chapter -“Death Voting”, what does that an?
Before he could figure it out, a black man spoke up: “That black ball seems like a good thing.”
He then swiftly steered himself out of the light circle beneath his feet, intending to snatch the black ball.
But the instant his feet stepped out of the light circle, all light sources turned deep red and blinked rapidly.
Strong electricity instantly coursed through his body!
“Bang!”
The black man fell heavily, dying on the spot.
This sudden death made everyone’s heart skip a beat.
The environnt, lively as a vegetable market just a mont ago, suddenly beca so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
[Rule One: Feet must not leave the range of the light circle]
After a mont of silence, once everyone confird there were no further chain reactions, they began a new round of discussion.
Three minutes later, they still hadn’t discussed a clear conclusion when the light sources flashed red again.
An Indian player who was vigorously nodding his head saying “nonono” was suddenly struck by electricity and fell down dead.
[Rule Two: Death by electric shock occurs every three minutes]
Qi Ye silently summarized in his mind.
At the sa ti, he noticed a detail: every ti he looked at soone, an arrow would appear outside the light circle, pointing at the person he was focusing on.
Considering the na “Death Voting”, Qi Ye quickly ca up with a guess:
“Could it be that they’re asking the people on the scene to vote for each other, and the person with the most votes dies, and in the end, you see who can survive?”
Qi Ye decided to secretly give it a try.
He focused on a strikingly bald white strongman and silently whispered “vote” in his mind.
Outside the light circle, indeed an arrow appeared, and the arrow turned from colorless to red when he decided to vote.
However, at this mont, he noticed that six places away from him in the sa row, there was another player, who looked very much like a Great Xia person, also had a red arrow in front of him.
The other person also noticed him.
They shared a glance and neither of them made a scene.
Qi Ye signaled his target with his eyes to the man.
The man nodded his head and without saying a word, he also switched his vote to the bald white strongman.
As the three-minute countdown ended and the red light flashed, the bald strongman instantly collapsed, dead.
However, this ti, the place didn’t fall silent.
Although it was still sowhat sudden, everyone only gasped before shifting their gaze away.
They continued whatever they were doing before, almost unaffected.
—— everyone had already adapted with startling speed, accustod to the “situation where soone may suddenly die while chatting”.
Players are just that unpredictable.
But in the crowd, Qi Ye exchanged a glance with the player he was collaborating with, nodding to confirm his own idea.
[Rule three: Each person gets a vote, the person with the most votes dies]
“If it’s really like that…”
Qi Ye shifted his gaze to the three most attention-grabbing players in the crowd——
Mario Pumisat, Eika, and…
Yi.
Three ga strears from three different countries.
If they wanted to rally people to vote, their popularity would be very helpful.
However, at the sa ti, being well-known also makes one an easy target.
——not to ntion the early stage, even now, if a famous player enters the tropolis or Night City’s [Free Mode] public map, they would still be chased and shot at by many players while being shouted at “Idol, I’m your fan!”
Even without conflicting interests, in a situation where fa can be turned into a weapon to attack others directly, one might easily beco the target of everyone’s arrows.
This is a double-edged sword!
Qi Ye is quite torn.
His first thought, of course, was “to protect our strear while taking out the opposing strear”.
How to distinguish between friend and foe?
Obviously, it depends on nationality, skin color, race.
Although saying so sounds a bit nationalist, but this is the natural way of dividing factions.
Thinking about it, Qi Ye couldn’t help but think: Cloud Dream is too bold!
This environnt, this gaplay, is likely to lead the players involved to form crazy alliances and attack each other.
This is even when it’s uncertain how many people will win in the end.
If only one person can survive in the end, then there’s the phase of internal strife and backstabbing amongst one’s own people.
The re thought of it gives Qi Ye a massive headache.
What’s more troubleso is that before he could think clearly, this matter was stabbed out by one player——
“I know!
We can use voting to decide who dies!
That’s what the arrow is for!”
The scene was quiet for a mont, then it imdiately beca ten tis noisier than before!
Eika quickly responded, starting to take advantage of her popular strear status: “Friends!
Hear out, let’s vote out the Russians first, okay?”
As soon as her words fell, there were indeed several Caucasian hands raised in response, most of them her fans.
With a few people responding, more Caucasians raised their hands.
“Bullshit!” a brother suddenly yelled, “Listen to !
Among all the people here, only one country has issued a prohibition against Cloud Dream, not allowing the virtual world to enter!”
“Everyone knows which country I’m referring to!”
“Shouldn’t we vote them out first?!”
Imdiately, cold sweat broke out on Eika’s forehead.
It was a huge loophole.
Currently, it is indeed only Arica left in the world that has a ban against Cloud Dream —— even the Persians had abolished the ban a while ago!
“You can’t bla us!
We’ve always been protesting!” Eika quickly explained, “It’s all those shitty…
I an, governnt officials did it!”
“We spent more money than ordinary players to buy equipnt!
And we also paid extra for network proxy fees.
We overca difficulties to get into the virtual world after much trouble!
We are the disadvantaged group!
It is not moral for you to ostracize us!”
As expected of a renowned ga strear, Eika was worldly in her way of speaking.
Not only has she rapidly rebutted others’ attacks, but she also took the opportunity to sell her grievances, which successfully swayed many players.
However, before she could continue to take advantage of the situation, Yi jumped in: “I also support the Russian brother’s idea, let’s vote out Old Arica first!”
Eika’s eyes were afla with rage: “That’s immoral!”
Yi: “I have no morals!”
“Hahaha!” several Asian faces burst into laughter imdiately, then all cast their votes for Eika.
More Asian players imdiately followed suit.
The Russian brother had already locked onto Eika.
Then, Middle Eastern players wearing turbans and Indian players nodding in agreent also cast their votes for Eika.
Eika looked at a black man with a face of shock and anger: “You’re voting for too?!”
The black brother: “I’m African, not Arican.”
“???” Eika was shocked,”Fuck!
With that thick Florida accent, you thought I couldn’t tell?!!”
…
Hearing the heated debates, or rather, quarrels, by a few parties, Qi Ye felt a bit ntally exhausted.
“What about the promised horror genre?”
“Why did it suddenly beco a debate eting?!”
