After the other trainees placed their bets, Li Zheng, guided by the sacrificial power, finally started.
This ti, he went all-in again, betting all the Spirit Stones on Soul Shadow.
When the black cover opened, Ghost Pupil’s expression changed; once again the Player Clan managed to strike against him.
Third round, fourth round... as the ga continued, Ghost Pupil’s expression turned rigid, unable to stop the sweat from dripping down his forehead.
During this process, in order to keep Ghost Pupil engaged, Li Zheng occasionally let him win, and didn’t bet all-in every ti.
Each ti he deliberately threw the ga, players from the Liver Emperor Group could see a relieved expression on Ghost Pupil’s face, clearly continuing the ga was a big pressure for him.
The livestream chat was buzzing with excitent:
"Cheating, definitely cheating, soone intervened, they’re bullying Brother Tongzi so much, if this continues with them winning everything, I can’t take it anymore."
"Sacrificial power earns too easily, equipped with guidance hacks, it’s practically a dinsion-reduction attack, and only Brother Tongzi is naively thinking he’s just having bad luck, when in fact, victory or defeat is controlled by the Working Party brothers. I’m worried he’d bet his necklace in desperation, then it’s all over."
"All you gamblers in the livestream, take a good look, nine tis out of ten it’s a scam, and the Liver Emperor Group brothers are here to show you, you should never touch gambling; you wouldn’t even imagine the cheating thods the other side may use."
"Stop already, stop profiting, if you keep at it, I’ll get jealous and start venting. I can allow you to make small fortunes, but with big ones, I’ll be jealous and envious, entering a hysterical state."
...
Ignoring the comnts in the livestream chat, Li Zheng and others continued their ga with the Ghost Pupil Clan.
Ghost Pupil’s hand trembled as it covered the piece.
Realizing that continuing the ga might cause Ghost Pupil to suffer from a heart attack, Li Zheng spoke up:
"Tongzi, that’s enough, call it quits."
"What’s a little expense, let’s continue."
Realizing Ghost Pupil was losing his cool, Li Zheng sighed inwardly, then reached out to the pile of Crystal Stones in front of him and pushed half of it toward Ghost Pupil:
"Tongzi, this part is yours, let’s not play anymore."
Speaking, Li Zheng picked up his Crystal Stones and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Seeing Li Zheng’s actions, Ghost Pupil suddenly realized his state was off and then looked at Li Zheng, saying:
"Losing is losing, we can handle our losses. No need for your pity; the ga ends here."
Having interacted for so long, Li Zheng naturally understood Ghost Pupil’s character.
Since Ghost Pupil said so, continuing to decline would be seen as an insult by Ghost Pupil.
Li Zheng imdiately gave Chi Tu a look and took away the remaining Crystal Stones.
Watching the Player Clan depart, Ghost Pupil’s expression was complex, ultimately unable to resist sighing:
"These bastards, such luck."
On the way back to their room, Li Zheng asked in the team chat channel:
"Brothers, you won’t bla for deciding to end the ga early, will you?"
"Nope, you’re our leader, your decision is our decision." Chi Tu replied imdiately.
"Brother Li, we’ve been brothers for so many years, still speaking so formally. Your decision is our decision, just say it once more." Killing Heart chid in with a laugh.
"Tongzi may act arrogant, but he’s loyal and cares about friendship, no need to target him too much. When we head to the second phase training camp, we’ll need to unite against common challenges."
Hearing their replies, Li Zheng grinned.
These brothers who’ve followed him for years always support any decision he makes at critical monts.
Back in the room, players of the Liver Emperor Group closed the door and started calculating their gains, discovering the total value of Crystal Stones won this ti reached over 30,000 sacrificial power.
After splitting the profits, they went out again, heading straight for the stream at the foot of the Snow Mountain.
Next up was fishing ti.
...
The two days of rest flew by.
On the third morning, Li Zheng and others strapped on the packs prepared by instructor Kuang Sha and stood on the training ground, listening to Kuang Sha’s instructions for heading to the second phase training camp.
He particularly highlighted the items in their packs.
Besides the necessary food and Energy Potion supplents, Kuang Sha emphasized that each new trainee’s pack included three "illusion destruction".
According to Kuang Sha’s explanation, this was a type of rune bomb, which, when detonated in necessary situations, could inflict massive area damage.
After explaining the precautions for heading to the second phase training camp, Kuang Sha took a deep breath, scanned the trainees, and solemnly said:
"Ladies and gentlen, this is where our fates part ways."
"In this ever-turbulent new world, I will await good news of you at the Snow Valley Training Camp... Finally, may your journey of growth include epic Chapters filled with ups and downs, along with the shared brotherhood, and wherever you go, rember you were once part of the Snow Valley Training Camp. Don’t disgrace us instructors, and when you get to the second phase training camp, perform well and write your own exciting Chapter."
Hearing Kuang Sha’s heartfelt speech, the trainees applauded.
"Instructor, well said." Chi Tu couldn’t help but praise.
"Nonsense, I use this speech often, the last group heard the sa lines. I’ve said it so many tis I’m almost sick of it. You guys can get lost if you’re idle." Kuang Sha glared at Chi Tu, looking fierce.
Hearing this, the trainees couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Led by Kuang Sha, the group of trainees walked out of the training camp’s gates, facing the swirling snow as they headed up the mountain.
In the upcoming journey, they would face nurous difficulties and challenges together until reaching their destination: the second phase training camp.
Along the stream heading toward Snow Mountain, after walking a certain distance, the trainees looked back and saw the blurry figure amidst the flying snow still standing at the training camp gates, watching them leave.
"Let’s go, enough with the sentint. Once you reach the second phase, don’t disgrace instructor Kuang Sha as the best way to repay him." Ghost Pupil, at the front, called out.
Hearing this, Li Zheng, standing next to him, nodded with a smile, then looked at Ghost Pupil and curiously asked:
"Tongzi, honestly, if we encounter a life-and-death crisis on the way, would you risk your life to save ?"
"No, I run faster than anyone."
"Well then, I surely wouldn’t save you either."
"Good, in my eyes you guys are a bunch of burdens. If not for the instructor’s requirent to go together, I’d be running fast already. Once I reach the second phase training camp, you guys might only be a third of the way there."
"Spit!"
"Filthy Player Clan, always spitting everywhere."
"Tongzi, is your skin itching, starting to act arrogant again."
"This ti, our Brass Clan supports the Player Clan; if a fight breaks out, we’ll definitely side with the players. Tongzi’s too arrogant...."
Amidst playful chats and gibberish, the trainees walked farther and farther, their figures gradually disappearing into the swirling snow.
