Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Cecily also restrained her breath, and this sudden tense confrontation was barely resolved.

Sikong Mingshen once again cast a slightly cold gaze at Li Ming and spoke in a cold tone, "I apologize to you for my previous arrogance."

"Now, you are qualified to discuss a deal with me, Captain Li Ming. I have entered Room 4 and can use it to trade with you for the information in Room 2. But the question is, how can we ensure the fairness of the deal? I would like to hear your suggestions."

Although he apologized verbally, neither his tone nor his expression showed any apology. Obviously, he still did not regard Li Ming and others as equal trading partners.

Li Ming didn't care about the other party's attitude. He replied calmly, "The transaction method is very simple. You can tell me the characters in Room 4 first, and I will verify whether they are true or false. After confirming that the information is correct, I will naturally reveal the characters in Room 2 to you."

"What did you say!?" Sikong Mingshen asked in astonishment, almost thinking that he had misheard. "You mean you want me to give you the character information of Room 4 first?"

"That's right." Li Ming's mouth curled up into a cold smile, "Didn't you just say you wanted to apologize? It's not enough to just apologize with words, you have to take some practical actions to show your sincerity."

The bald man Lei Gu's anger flared up again. He stared at the young man in front of him and asked in a bad tone: "Boy, are you deliberately playing tricks on us?"

Li Ming glanced at him calmly, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "If you insist on understanding it this way, then I have nothing to say."

These people never treated them as equals from the beginning to the end, not to mention that the relationship between the two sides is almost broken now. It is simply a joke to talk about a deal.

Sikong Mingshen glanced at Li Ming and his group with a cold gaze, and said coldly, "I hope we will meet again in the next game session."

After saying this, he led the team out of the room with a gloomy face.

"What kind of people are they?" Yun Shan curled her lips in disdain. "They think they are great just because they are ranked high. They even want to get our character information for free. They don't have the bearing of a strong team at all."

Dongmen Qiansha also looked indignant, "If ranking can determine everything, then why do players still have competitions? Why not just distribute rewards according to ranking?"

"Forget it, there's no need to get angry." Cecily, who was furious just now, now seemed unusually calm. "After all, they are the 15th ranked team. It's normal for them to look down on a team like us that has no reputation."

Xing Mei thought more about it, and she said hesitantly, "Could it be that they are deliberately showing off their arrogance to lower other people's vigilance? After all, anyone who hears about a team ranked fifteenth will unconsciously raise their guard."

"Eh? From this perspective, things seem somewhat reasonable." Yun Shan thought for a moment, and then her eyes lit up. "No, the more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. Don't we think they are too arrogant and look down on others now?"

"That's right." Dongmen Qiansha nodded in agreement, "Once this impression is formed, if we let our guard down, we will end up being the ones who become overconfident."

Cecily smiled and said nothing more. With the little man around, no matter what tricks the other party used, they would be in vain.

Li Ming did not join in the condemnation of the Tianyu team. He briefly checked the empty room and then waved to the others, "Let's go and continue looking for the next numbered room."

After walking out of the room, Li Ming did not rush to act, but chose to stay where he was and think for a while.

At present, they have determined the specific locations of Room 2 and Room 3, and learned that the meanings of the characters in these two rooms are "movement" and "mystery" respectively.

Of course, it is still impossible to interpret any valuable information based on these two characters alone.

However, we can use the locations of these two rooms as a reference to roughly infer the possible coordinates of other rooms...

Seeing that Li Ming was thinking, Cecily and others did not disturb him, but just waited quietly by the side.

After a moment, Li Ming exhaled lightly, with a helpless smile on his face: "It really requires a little luck. Based on the locations of two rooms alone, we can't accurately infer the coordinates of other rooms. At least we have to find the room with the third number."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the passage on the left.

This time, the team's luck was obviously not very good.

They traveled through the intricate moving maze for an hour and a half, but still could not find any trace of the third numbered room.

Li Ming stopped at an intersection and looked around at his teammates, as if he was talking to himself and asking, "Room 2 is to the left of Room 3, but Room 3 is nowhere to the left of Room 4. What do you think is the reason?"

"I know." Yunshan raised her hand eagerly and responded with a bit of pride, "Either Room 4 doesn't exist at all, or Room 4 is not in the same straight line with Rooms 2 and 3."

Dongmen Qiansha reminded him, "Didn't Sikong Mingshen say before that they found Room 4? So, the situation is most likely the second one."

"You never know." Yunshan blinked mischievously, "A man as cunning as him might be lying."

Li Ming shook his head slightly and explained, "It is unlikely that Sikong Mingshen lied. If Room 4 does not exist, then he should have found Room 1."

"But the question is, if they found Room 1 first, how could they skip the adjacent Room 2 and find the farther Room 3 first?"

Hearing this, Yunshan was slightly stunned, then she scratched her head awkwardly and admitted her negligence, "Hey, I didn't expect this."

"Then which direction should we look for the room now?" Dongmen Qiansha asked immediately.

Li Ming looked up at the eye-catching number 100 on the ceiling and said slowly: "The arrangement of the rooms is likely to follow the pattern of the Nine Palaces."

“Since the horizontal coordinate matches the number 100, the vertical coordinate should be directly below the number 100.”

"I see..." Yun Shan nodded thoughtfully, "Now that you mention it, the first level of the game doesn't seem as complicated as I imagined."

Cecily, Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha all smiled but said nothing.

Li Ming had already announced the answer, so naturally he felt that this level was not difficult.

But if they were to solve this maze game, I wonder how much time it would take to figure out the rules.
