Survival in the dormitory, I was pulled into the management group

The players in Building 2 were all too afraid to vote.

The relationship between the two buildings has been pushed to the brink, and could take a sharp turn for the worse at any moment.

Some hawkish players, represented by Tsukahira, incited others in the group to strike first and not to entrust their fate to others.

If the number of votes is the same, it will result in a tie and the vote will be automatically invalidated.

Thus, a new idea was put forward.

The person who proposed this idea was Qingyi Buran.

Qingyi Buran: [There's another solution: if both sides have the same number of players, the tied votes will cancel each other out. In other words, if only one player is eliminated from Building One, our concerns will be dispelled.]

This proposal is at least much better than the two sides going to fight each other directly.

The problem can be solved by simply having one person die, making the number of people on both sides equal.

The responsibility of negotiation naturally fell on the shoulders of the sanitation committee member, since he was the dormitory manager.

This matter is of great importance, and Tsukatora strongly insists that a group of players surround the health committee member to supervise the entire conversation.

Therefore, this negotiation using walkie-talkies took place in the corridor.

Many players stared at the health committee member, making him quite nervous.

"Hello? Flag Master, we have a proposal we'd like to discuss with you."

"What proposal?"

"We have fewer people than you right now, but not by much. Even losing just one person makes a difference. Today's options are clearly a trap. If you activate the elimination mechanism, we're all doomed."

"No, no, don't worry. We never intended to kill you all. There are thirty players on each side, and some of them actually know each other. They're not mortal enemies, so why would we want to kill them?"

“We don’t doubt you, we’re just a little worried. If the number of people in both buildings is exactly the same, then we can put our minds at ease.”

"what do you mean?"

"Let's make things clear then. We in Building 2 hope that Building 1 can reduce one person's staff to achieve a balance between the two sides. Sacrificing just one person to achieve peaceful coexistence between the two buildings is still a worthwhile trade."

"What a load of rubbish! We've already said we won't cheat you, so what's there to doubt? Making us lose one person is basically asking us to kill someone!"

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, this is just a discussion with you."

"Don't ask me such a question. Why should I kill someone just to put your minds at ease? How wronged that person must have been."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"We'll do what needs to be done. At worst, we'll make a choice first, select all the safe options, and everyone will be happy if the elimination mechanism isn't activated."

"The problem is, as long as there's no ticket lockout, you can change your mind anytime. What if you all get stuck at the last minute and change your choices? Wouldn't we all be doomed?"

"You're being too conspiratorial! You're completely imagining everyone in Building 1 as the villains! I really don't understand where you people in Building 2 get such severe paranoia."

The two sides tried to communicate via walkie-talkie, but the conversation did not go smoothly.

It's no wonder that Building One refused; asking the other side to kill one of their own people is indeed asking too much.

If the banner leader promotes this kind of thing, he will lose the support of the people.

Since someone has to die, why can't that person be the dormitory manager himself?

Since the dorm supervisor agreed, then the dorm supervisor should be condemned to death!

The possibility of this development is not low.

On Building Two, a large number of players were listening in.

The player named Tsukasa's face grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, he snatched the walkie-talkie and ended the call.

"Did you all hear that? It's completely unworkable! They don't consider our situation at all; they haven't thought about how we're all put on the spot. They hold the power of life and death, so of course they can spout grand excuses. We can't believe their sweet talk!"

Tsukasa's words were fierce and his demeanor aggressive.

This has drawn the support of many hawkish players.

Then someone added fuel to the fire, suggesting that they simply resolve the issue by force, forcing the other side to kill and reduce their numbers, or else a full-scale war would break out.

Chen Bei watched from the sidelines, and seeing that things were not going well, he had his own ideas.

He had no brilliant strategies, nor did he intend to use his silver tongue to persuade everyone.

Instead, it's a simpler and more direct method.

Without saying hello to anyone, Chen Bei flew out of the building and came to the area between the two buildings.

"Hey, everyone in Building One, listen up. I want to challenge any player in Building One to a life-or-death duel. If I survive, I'll give up everything. If I die, my estate and the entire dormitory will belong to the victor."

"Is that clear enough? Is there anyone confident in their abilities and willing to accept the challenge?"

Chen Bei spoke calmly, without any hype or provocation.

They only used a little bribery.

If someone accepts the challenge, it will be a one-on-one duel until death.

Once Chen Bei secures the kill, he will take the first blood.

This would allow both dormitories to have the same number of students, thus resolving the previous conflict.

This method of killing is at least somewhat aboveboard; the person who dies is a matter of personal choice and is not wronged.

Upon hearing the noise, the players in Building 2 rushed to the windows, and some even went outside to observe.

Everyone quickly understood Chen Bei's intention and did not stop him.

As long as Chen Bei gets things done, it will benefit everyone!

Conversely... if another person is lost in Building 2, causing the number gap between the two sides to widen, the situation will become even worse.

Tsukasa hovered by the window, not far behind Chen Bei, and said in a low, deep voice, "You took it upon yourself to challenge the other side to a one-on-one duel. If you fail, I won't even spare your soul!"

Chen Bei didn't even turn his head, but instead raised his hand and gave the middle finger to the person behind him as a gesture of support.

His personal actions are none of anyone else's business.

Now we'll see if anyone on Building 1 will take the challenge.

Things quickly progressed.

A player dressed entirely in fiery red flew out of Building 1 and headed towards Chen Bei.

His hair was on fire, he stood on a fiery red lotus, and behind him was a pair of individual cannons.

It's that guy named Fire of Joy.

Its name is comical, but its strength is undeniable.

"Hehe, your suggestion is not bad. I admire your courage. Dying by my hand will not be a disgrace to you." Huo Zhi grinned happily.

"Let's skip the trash talk. You call 'start,' and once those two words are uttered, it means one of us is going to die here," Chen Bei said calmly.

"start!!!"

Huo Zhi Gao Xing shouted it out and then activated the two cannons behind him to bombard the enemy at close range.

All the artillery pieces are equipped with automatic aiming and locking functions, and have already locked onto Chen Bei as the target.

boom! boom! boom!

The bombardment continued, and the sky was ablaze with fire!
