Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Gipson swallowed his frustration and focused on the game at hand.

He stared at James Bond with his cold eyes, trying to get some clues from his expression.

But the result disappointed him.

James Bond remained extremely calm and never revealed even the slightest flaw.

"I have to say that your psychological quality is really outstanding. Even at the critical moment of life and death, you can still remain calm." Gibson said with some reluctance.

"Thank you for your compliment. I will accept it without hesitation. Now please guess the number of crystals." Zhan Shibang smiled slightly and said in a calm tone.

The real reason why he could maintain such a calm state of mind was that this box of crystals was transported for the 'Tianyu' team.

Whether successful or not, it didn't have much impact on them, so even if he wanted to be nervous, it was difficult for him to really feel the tense atmosphere.

"Three pieces!" Gibson suddenly shouted so loudly that it was deafening, and even the onlookers outside the crystal room were a little surprised.

"Haha..." Zhan Shibang smiled and shook his head, "You actually used such a crude method. How can I be scared so easily?"

"I said three! The number of crystals you transported is definitely three!" Gibson's eyes were almost crazy. He stared at James Bond as if he wanted to see through him.

"You seem a little flustered." James Bang casually opened the transport box on the table, and the crystal stones revealed to everyone were not three, but two.

The room fell into deathly silence in an instant.

Gibson slowly stood up from his chair with a dejected look and silently left the transport area without saying a word.

James Bond was in high spirits as he strode into the treasury carrying a transport box.

At the same time, Sikong Mingshen stared at Li Ming with sharp eyes.

However, Li Ming didn't seem to notice and was still concentrating on looking at the red crystal treasure chest key in his hand.

The third round ends.

The 'Wrath of the God of War' team successfully transported five crystals with outstanding performance and firmly sat at the top of the list.

Following closely behind was the 'Tianyu' team, which transported a total of four crystals.

Ranked third was the 'Meteor' team, which transported a total of three crystals.

The team at the bottom was still the 'Yanzhihua' team, who only managed to transport one crystal in three rounds.

Although there are still many rounds left, the gap between them and the opponent is already quite obvious.

As the familiar mechanical voice sounded in everyone's mind, the time to dig for crystals had come.

At present, the crystal reserves of the four teams are different.

Among them, the 'Meteor' team has the largest number of remaining crystals, a total of three pieces.

Next are the 'Tianyu' team and the 'Wrath of the God of War' team, each of which has retained a crystal.

The 'Flower of the Yan' team seemed a little bleak, as their crystal reserves were zero.

Although the special sofas in the lounge are made of high-end materials, they are still unable to fully restore the players' over-consumed physical and mental strength.

Because of this, the subsequent crystal excavation work became increasingly difficult.

Just as everyone was working hard and digging crystals in silence, Li Ming suddenly and unexpectedly announced that his team was not very eager to advance to the quarterfinals.

Then, he proposed an exchange condition. Any team that aspired to advance only needed to provide some valuable items in exchange for the crystal in his hand.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell dropped on the calm lake. The members of the other three teams turned their heads in astonishment, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Zhan Shibang's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Ming with some doubt, "Captain Li Ming, are you really going to give up this competition?"

"We can't say we've given up completely." Li Ming smiled easily and continued to explain, "It's just that our desire to advance is not particularly strong, so if you need it, you can buy some crystals from me."

"This... is that so." Zhan Shibang was speechless. He couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false.

Or do you want to advance and use the extra crystals to earn extra money from your competitors?

This approach seems a bit shameless.

Sikong Mingshen and the others just glanced at it indifferently and stopped paying attention. They would never buy crystals from Li Ming.

However, the five members of the 'Flower of the Yan' team became more active and began to make secret plans.

Gibson stared at Li Ming closely, feeling slightly excited. If the 'Meteor' team really had no desire to advance, then wouldn't this be their chance?

Since crystals can be traded, can intelligence also be purchased?

An hour later, the crystal mining time ended.

It took Li Ming and his four companions fifty-six minutes to dig out three crystals, while the Tianyu team just completed their digging task when the time was about to run out.

This situation indicates that in the next rounds, no team will be able to dig out three crystals at once.

The 'Wrath of the God of War' and 'Flower of Evolution' teams each dug up two crystals, but the time consumed was also astonishing, each taking fifty-two or fifty-three minutes.

The difficulty of crystal mining exceeded many people's expectations, so much so that James Bang and others did not go to bed immediately after returning to the lounge.

"Captain, do you think you can believe what Li Ming said? Are they really not interested in advancing?" Tong Xin asked puzzledly, lying on the sofa.

"Humph, I think that's just a smokescreen." De Zheng snorted disdainfully, "Maybe they want to advance and take advantage of the opportunity to get some extra benefits. They are so greedy!"

"It's too early to draw conclusions now." James Bang rubbed his aching head and thought, "When we get to the transportation stage, we'll see how many crystals they plan to transport, and maybe we can get some clues from that."

Hearing this, Tong Xin suddenly remembered something else, and a worried look appeared on her face, "Captain, if Li Ming and his team really decide to give up the promotion and pursue other interests, then our alliance with the 'Tianyu' team may be in jeopardy."

"This is indeed a serious problem." The middle-aged man with a flat head also expressed the same concern, "Once our alliance with the 'Tianyu' team collapses, we will have to rely on our own financial resources to compete with the 'Yanzhihua' team."

"No! Hiss..." De Zheng tried to sit up, but the weakness all over his body and the severe pain in his head forced him to lie down again.

He took a breath and said fiercely: "If Sikong Mingshen wants to dissolve the alliance, then they can forget about getting the treasure chest key back."

"We have no way out. If we don't advance, we will die. This is our weakness, but we hold the key to the Tianyu team, which has become our bargaining chip."
