Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"I see..." Dongmen Qiansha nodded slightly, "No wonder Zhan Shibang and the others didn't show any doubts from beginning to end."

"Indeed, if Sikong Mingshen has always shown his willingness to exchange the key, they will naturally find excuses to refuse the exchange instead of suspecting other things."

After thinking for a moment, Cecily continued to ask, "What about the second question? How do you ensure that when Sikong Mingshen deposits the crystal into the treasury, he holds the key to our team's treasure chest?"

"It is entirely possible that he has reached some kind of deal with the 'Flower of Evolution' team, such as using their key to store the crystals. In this case, wouldn't our team's treasure chest be unable to obtain any crystals at all?"

"First, involving the 'Flower of Evolution' team would make the plan too complicated and might even cause things to get out of control," Li Ming explained. "Second, I certainly have a way to confirm that every time he deposits a crystal, he is holding the key to our team."

At this point, he turned to look at Xingmei, "Xingmei, do you notice it now?"

Xing Mei recalled a detail that often appeared, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she blurted out, "It's that faint red light! Every time Sikong Mingshen successfully passed the level, a faint red light would flash in the palm of his right hand."

"So he is secretly showing you the red crystal key in this way!"

"Due to the rules of the game, the captain can only carry one treasure chest key, so after he passes the level, he can only deposit the crystal into the treasure chest with the corresponding key!"

"That's absolutely right." Li Ming smiled and nodded in affirmation. "In fact, I don't care whether he is playing any tricks or not. I just need him to confirm that the red crystal key in his hand has the word 'Meteor' engraved on it when the crystal is transported through customs."

After saying this, he further elaborated, "Similarly, every time James Bon successfully transports the crystal, I will also show the treasure chest key of the 'Wrath of the God of War' team in my hand to prove that I did not exchange keys with James Bon."

"Of course, theoretically, it is possible that James Bond could exchange the key of the 'Tianyu' team in his hand with the 'Yanzhihua' team, but the possibility is very small."

"Besides, this is something that Sikong Mingshen needs to verify. It is none of my business."

Cecily nodded belatedly, "No wonder when James Bang was transporting the crystals, Sikong Mingshen kept his eyes on you. It turned out that he was trying to confirm which team's key you were holding."

Dongmen Qiansha suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Captain, when Sikong Mingshen was transporting the crystal stones, why did you guess right the first time, but gave a wrong answer the second time?"

"Although they are transporting our team's crystals, we must give wrong answers, but are you playing some kind of game by doing this?"

"I guess so." Li Ming replied with a smile, "I originally proposed that the resources we extracted from the other two teams belong to each of us, but Sikong Mingshen disagreed. He thought we were taking advantage of them."

"In fact, from the perspective of our strategic position, we do have a considerable advantage. James Bond and Gibson had to invest a lot of resources in order to bribe me."

"So, I made a suggestion. I guessed the amount of crystals he transported in the first three times. If I guessed right, they would have to follow my plan. If I guessed wrong, I would give them half of the extra resources."

"Sikong Mingshen agreed, but in the end, he lost..."

“Puchi…” Dongmen Qiansha covered her mouth, laughter leaking out from between her fingers, “No wonder he looked so ugly in the last few rounds, it turns out there is such a thing.”

At this time, Yun Shan put her hands behind her back, jumped lightly in front of Li Ming, and said with a smile: "In fact, we don't need to make things so complicated, and we can easily advance. After all, when it comes to digging crystals, the other three teams are no match for us."

Li Ming shook his head and answered seriously, "You are wrong. The key to winning this game is to stabilize the 'Wrath of the God of War' team."

"Since they are facing the risk of being eliminated, they have no choice but to go all out and try their best."

"Considering that there are two strong competitors in the group, Zhan Shibang will not hesitate to spend L8-level precious items to bribe the 'Flower of Evolution' team."

"From Gibson's perspective, their chances of promotion are slim, so he will definitely accept James Bond's bribe."

"In this way, the two teams will join forces and their efficiency in mining crystals will exceed that of either ours or Tianyu."

"At least in the first few rounds, these two teams can work together to dig out at least five crystals, of which the 'Flower of Evolution' will deliver one, and the 'Wrath of the God of War' team will deliver three. The remaining crystals can be saved for use in subsequent rounds."

"In this case, even if we cooperate with the Tianyu team, it will be difficult to reverse the situation because we can't give the crystal to the other party."

"What's even more troublesome is that they will deliberately leak the crystal transportation information between us and the 'Tianyu' team. Tell me, between us and the 'Tianyu' team, who will let the other team pass through?"

"Things have come to this point. If we want to change the situation, maybe everyone will need to pay a huge price to bribe Gibson."

"In this way, the outcome of this game will no longer depend on strength and strategy, but will turn into a thorough competition of financial strength."

"Even if we are lucky enough to win a promotion spot, we will definitely pay a heavy price and our resources will be drained."

"And Gibson can reap the benefits of this melee and become the biggest winner."

After listening to Li Ming's detailed narration, Cecily and the others looked at Yunshan jokingly. They knew very well that Li Ming was much more thorough in thinking about problems than they were.

For Li Ming, what Yunshan could think of, he had probably already pondered and verified it countless times in his mind.

"Ahem..." Yun Shan coughed lightly, trying to ease the delicate atmosphere. Then, she changed the subject awkwardly, "Speaking of which, fortunately no one knows that we don't actually have enough survival points to pay the penalty."

"If this information is leaked, things will become extremely difficult."

"Your performance was flawless and perfect in this regard." Li Ming looked at his four teammates with a smile on his face. "As Yunshan said, if they knew that we couldn't afford the penalty."

"Then, even if we are lucky enough to advance, our equipment and belongings will be taken away by them without a single thing left."

Hearing this, Cecily and the others exchanged glances, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Although psychics are very good at concealing their emotions, they are also more sensitive to detecting emotional fluctuations.

When facing life-and-death threats, they would not have been able to remain so calm and not reveal a single flaw if Li Ming had not provided them with solid support.
