But there were other voices as well:
[Huh? So privileges really exist? Did I join too late? I didn't know there was such a thing as privileges...]
The Ultimate Rich Kid was the most excited:
[OMG! I only asked about these privileges in the last round's final monts, and Middle-aged Uncle answered . Never thought I'd get to see them in action this round! So exciting!!!!!]
Seeing this ssage, Middle-aged Uncle felt worse than eating shit. He directly questioned the Long-haired Beautiful Host:
[You hostess are really sothing! Why didn't you announce such important information before betting closed?!]
His comnt sparked others to also question the hostess - weren't they being played?
Why reveal such crucial information after betting ended?
The Long-haired Beautiful Host just smiled:
"Don't bla . The timing of announcents follows the privilege holder's wishes. Had they wanted to announce before betting, I certainly would have."
The aning was simple.
Diamond Bachelor had decided when to release the information.
Imdiately, the entire live stream room @'ed Diamond Bachelor.
But despite the flood of @'s, they remained silent.
The live stream viewers were smart enough.
They understood Diamond Bachelor's motive.
Had this been announced before betting, fewer people would have bet on Jiang Ran.
It would absolutely affect the betting odds - how then could Diamond Bachelor reap profits?
This was just like the stock market - those with insider information held the advantage.
Though everyone cursed Diamond Bachelor for being unscrupulous.
They admitted they'd do the sa in that position.
The situation was now set in stone.
The only way out was:
Middle-aged Uncle: [Normally when lab rats enter the apartnt, no one can predict which psycho killer they'll die to.]
[There are just too many criminals.]
[With luck, you might survive longer by staying ho and avoiding contact.]
[But with a designated killer, it's completely different. Now when you enter, there's already a psycho targeting you - he must kill you. Even with perfect luck and staying ho, it's useless! Because you're his target! He'll find every way into your ho to murder you!]
[There's an old saying - you can stay vigilant against thieves for a thousand days, but thieves won't rob you for a thousand days straight. So while this is my first ti seeing such designation, I can imagine the danger!]
[Thus the only solution is for Jiang Ran to defeat Robert like he did Kite Killer Wang Nuli!!!]
Exactly - the only way out was Jiang Ran killing Robert instead!
But it would be extrely difficult!
Despite having witnessed Jiang Ran's dual personalities' strength.
This opponent wasn't so ordinary psycho killer.
He was Maple Country's most notorious serial killer.
Among Alice Apartnt's killers, his body count ranked top three.
aning he was among that apartnt's top three most dangerous serial killers.
Moreover, while there's no official ranking of which Alice Apartnt is most dangerous...
It's common knowledge that white-majority countries produce the most psychotic killers!
Most crucially, Diamond Bachelor had witnessed Jiang Ran's full capabilities.
Had she doubted Robert could kill Jiang Ran,
She wouldn't have wasted her privilege, instead choosing another killer.
That's what made this hardest!
Diamond Bachelor was completely confident Robert could kill Jiang Ran!
Many who bet on Jiang Ran now worried for him.
Of course, these cold-blooded creatures didn't care about Jiang Ran - only how his life affected their bets!
The Ultimate Rich Kid exclaid: [Damn! I just looked up this Robert - the hostess didn't give full details! This guy's one of the world's top ten serial killers! Damn! At that level, Jiang Ran's dead for sure!]
Hearing this, Middle-aged Uncle felt his heart shatter.
What did "world's top ten serial killer" signify?
It represented skill, terror, and influence...
Middle-aged Uncle: [It's over...]
Ultimate Rich Kid: [Don't be sad uncle, you're not alone!]
Middle-aged Uncle: [You bet on Jiang Ran too?]
Ultimate Rich Kid: [Nope, I bet on Mike - 1 million, hahaha!]
Middle-aged Uncle: [Damn...]
The Long-haired Beautiful Host's lovely laughter echoed:
"Dear viewers, I'm about to announce the second matter. The first was about Robert. The second concerns Jiang Ran."
Hearing Jiang Ran's na, bettors perked up - was there hope?
"Rember in Round 25 when I said Jiang Ran's 10k per day was comic royalties?"
"Now, surviving this round completes one month - he'll receive full 300k royalties!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran's bettors felt despair - was this really the pressing issue?
Middle-aged Uncle comnted: [Being targeted by a top ten global serial killer on a must-kill list - surviving to get paid is the real question! Poor kid!]
[I just wonder - what grudge does Diamond Bachelor hold against Jiang Ran to use a privilege?]
Fairy Sister: [Maybe last round? Brother Wang bet on Xiao Q but Jiang Ran won, so revenge?]
Domineering Female CEO: [Possible, but unlikely - Brother Wang has lost before without revenge.]
The room speculated on Diamond Bachelor's motives.
"All introductions for this round are complete."
"I declare Round 27 of Far Neighbor ga begins!"
While they debated, the hostess had already started the round.
In reality.
A luxurious pink princess room.
Diamond Bachelor leaned back smugly in an oversized chair before a massive high-def screen, lips curling:
"Jiang Ran ah Jiang Ran, don't bla this young miss for targeting you."
"Your existence inexplicably disrupts my sixth sense."
"So what choice do I have?"
"If you don't die, what happens to ? My ranking?"
"Had my sixth sense pointed to you this round, perhaps I wouldn't have used my privilege."
"But alas, my intuition says Mike will survive."
