Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"Little man, are you cooperating with Sikong Mingshen?" Cecily was not an ignorant person. She saw clues from James Bond's words and the final number of crystals. Only this explanation could reasonably explain it.

Li Ming nodded slightly and responded calmly, "That's probably it."

Dongmen Qiansha heard this, looked up at him, and asked in confusion: "When did it start? How come we don't know anything about it?"

Li Ming hesitated for a moment before he slowly spoke: "If we really want to trace it back, it should be before the game started."

"Eh? Before the game started?" Dongmen Qiansha asked in surprise, "I remember... at that time, didn't Sikong Mingshen come with a group of people to challenge us?"

"Haha..." Li Ming smiled lightly, "Your idea is still too naive. Think about it carefully. There are four teams in our gaming group, but only two can advance."

"So, who will benefit and who will suffer if Sikong Mingshen openly conflicts with us?"

"This is obviously not good for either of us, but good for the 'Wrath of the God of War' team and the 'Flower of Evolution' team. In fact, that's exactly what they think."

"Thinking more deeply, in the second level, the 'Tianyu' team would rather give up the 1000 survival points reward and actively choose to match with opponents."

"This shows that they regard promotion as more important than anything else. How could such people do something that would be detrimental to their team's promotion?"

"So that's how it is. I understand." Dongmen Qiansha suddenly realized, "Sikong Mingshen is not here to quarrel with us, but intends to cooperate with us!"

"That makes sense." Cecily nodded in agreement, then she turned her head to look at Xingmei, "Didn't you think Sikong Mingshen had other intentions at the time? Now it seems that this is his true intention, but it's hard for ordinary people to react to this."

"Hmm..." Xingmei hesitated for a moment and added, "He used an excuse to stir up a dispute with us, causing James Bond and Gibson to mistakenly believe that their teams also had a chance to advance, thus blocking the possibility of their alliance."

Cecily couldn't help but sigh, "His method of killing two birds with one stone is really brilliant."

"Wait!" Dongmen Qiansha's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and new doubts were shining in her fiery red pupils. "If the rules of the game stipulate that only two teams from the same camp can advance together, then it is impossible for us to cooperate."

"So what?" Li Ming responded calmly, "We are already mortal enemies anyway, and exposing the conflict in advance will not bring any substantial impact."

"Uh..." Dongmen Qiansha scratched her head slightly embarrassedly, "Captain, you are right."

Cecily glanced at Li Ming, a smile on her lips, as if she was thinking, "Little man, what would happen if you failed to understand Sikong Mingshen's intentions?"

"Hey..." Ming responded with a light laugh, "This doesn't matter to him at all, because in his eyes, we are not worthy of being their opponents."

At this time, Dongmen Qiansha suddenly remembered another thing and continued to ask: "Captain, how did you reach a cooperation with the 'Tianyu' team? How come we didn't know anything about it?"

Li Ming explained calmly, "When you returned from the first crystal excavation, you fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. You naturally had no idea of ​​what I had done."

"At that time, I gave the team's treasure chest key to Yunshan and asked her to go to the Tianyu team's lounge to negotiate with Sikong Mingshen."

"The strategy is actually quite simple. It is to let Sikong Mingshen pretend to intend to prevent us from advancing, so as to form an alliance with the 'Wrath of the God of War' team. The real purpose is to exchange for the treasure chest key in their hands."

"After that, Sikong Mingshen will exchange the treasure chest key obtained from the 'Wrath of the God of War' team for the treasure chest key of our 'Meteor' team."

"In this way, Zhan Shibang will transport the crystals of the Tianyu team each time, while Sikong Mingshen will be responsible for transporting the crystals of our team."

"As for me, what I transported were the crystals of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team."

"Before the final decisive round, Yunshan had already exchanged the keys of our team in advance, because the outcome was already decided at this time."

At this point, he paused for a moment, "Sikong Mingshen has no objection to my strategy, but he proposed an idea, which is to further drain the resources of the other two teams."

"This proposal does make the original plan a little more complicated, but after thinking about it, there seems to be no reason to refuse."

After hearing the latter, Cecily, Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha looked at each other and immediately understood.

No wonder Zhan Shibang was so sad and angry before he died. He always believed that he had boarded the chariot of the "Tianyu" team and would definitely advance, but he never thought that all this was just an illusion from beginning to end.

What made him even more desperate was that he even foolishly exhausted the team's resources.

Everyone fell into a brief silence, and then Cecily spoke again, breaking the silence, "The plan does sound simple, but it may not be so easy to actually execute it."

"For example, how can Sikong Mingshen exchange for the key of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team without letting them notice anything unusual?"

"Besides, there is no basis of trust between us and the Tianyu team. Aren't you afraid that they might be behind the scenes and have other intentions?"

Hearing this, Dongmen Qiansha and Xingmei put away their distracting thoughts and refocused their attention on Li Ming.

Li Ming smiled slightly and said appreciatively: "Your thinking is very accurate, but it is not difficult for Sikong Mingshen to exchange for the key of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team."

"Because the two sides are in different camps, Zhan Shibang will instinctively remain alert to Sikong Mingshen. Therefore, even if Sikong Mingshen did not give any guidance, Zhan Shibang himself would have thought of the proposal to exchange keys."

"As for how to avoid the other party's suspicion in subsequent rounds, this is also not difficult. Just show the key from time to time at the right time and show your willingness to exchange the original key. This will easily dispel the other party's doubts."

"Hey, wait, there's something wrong here." Dongmen Qiansha keenly noticed the omission. "The names of the respective teams are engraved on the keys. Sikong Mingshen is holding the key of our team. If he shows it, won't it be exposed immediately?"

Li Ming did not give a direct answer, but turned his gaze to Yunshan, who had been holding back from speaking, and said with a smile: "Well... Yunshan is mainly handling this."

The other three immediately focused their attention on her. Yun Shan puffed out her chest and smiled proudly, "It's actually very simple. Sikong Mingshen only takes the key of our team when he is transporting crystals. The rest of the time he will exchange it with me for the key of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team."
