Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Considering that Player 2 joined midway, we can share some information with them. Player 3 has skills similar to healing."

Ama replied.

"Then I'll continue waking up player number 3."

He said.

At least I have a potential point now, so I shouldn't have to fight another one that's almost dead, right?

"Please choose whether to use brute force or hand-to-hand combat for the judgment."

"I choose fighting."

Liu Zheng said.

He didn't have any contrarian thinking; since the combat level was higher, he would still use combat to determine the outcome.

"Player #2 needs 70 points for this combat skill. If the dice roll is greater than or equal to 70, the skill will pass; otherwise, it will fail."

Two ten-sided dice reappeared in front of him, spun, and then stopped.

6 and 4.

"No way, it was just a little bit off, is it really that unlucky?"

Liu Zheng was speechless.

"Host, is it too late for me to dress up as a clown?"

he asked expectantly.

"Such items are prohibited in board games unless you can break the rules of the board game arcade."

The female diver said mercilessly.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

If he could break through the rules of the board game arcade, why would he need to run a group? He could just move the Scarlet Witch back to the lounge as a decoration.

Another headbutt came down, and player number 3 fell to the ground.

"Player number 3 has been hit hard in the head and needs to pass a damage check."

How many points of stamina does he have?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Player #3 has 5 health points."

"It doesn't make sense that a thief has as much blood as a scholar, does it?"

He questioned.

“Those who are strong and robust are called robbers.”

The female diver said calmly.

".OK."

What she said made perfect sense, and Liu Zheng was speechless.

The six-sided die spun around above player number 3's head before slowly coming to a stop.

3 points.

"so far so good."

He let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, no one else was on the verge of death, otherwise this group really wouldn't have been able to escape.

"Player #3 has been severely injured and will undergo a willpower test to determine whether to wake up from their coma."

The sound of the dice spinning rang out, but Liu Zheng saw nothing.

"Detection successful, player number 3 has woken up."

As the female warrior's voice rang out, Player 3 opened his eyes.

"A group of four people, and three of them were culprits. I'm speechless."

Player #3 touched his head and said with resentment.

"There are three masterminds, who is the third one?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"The previous number 2."

Player #3 rolled his eyes at him.

"a ha ha ha."

Liu Zheng awkwardly touched his forehead; it actually hurt quite a bit too.

"Host, I need to use the substandard potion to treat player number 4."

Player number 3 broke free of the ropes and said.

There's no point in pretending anymore, things have already come to this.

"Are you sure that substandard potions could poison player #4?"

The sea woman asked.

"determine."

Player 3 took out a ceramic bottle from his pocket, pried open Player 4's mouth, and poured the potion into it.

In the void, the sound of dice spinning rang out again, then stopped.

"Judgment successful. Player #4 has successfully recovered 1 point of health and been removed from the near-death state."

The female diver said.

As for the coma state, it has been replaced by the near-death state.

"Next time, save player number 1 first; he's less likely to die."

Player #4 opened his eyes and said seriously to Liu Zheng.

"Don't worry, haven't you heard of the law of conservation of luck? I definitely won't be so unlucky next time."

He comforted.

Is it possible that the law of conservation of luck states that if a person is unlucky, he will continue to be unlucky?

Player #3 said, squinting.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Liu Zheng and player number 4 spoke together.

"Alright, stop being stubborn, just hurry up and get number 1."

Player #3 waved his hand and said.

"Host, I have applied for a medical skill assessment to revive player number 1."

Player number 4 also broke free of the ropes and said.

"Player #4's medical skill requires 40 points. If the dice roll is greater than or equal to 40, the skill is considered successful; otherwise, it is considered unsuccessful."

Two ten-sided dice reappeared, then quickly stopped spinning.

4 and 1.

"Detection successful, player number 1 has woken up."

Player #4 struggled to pull out a small knife and plunged the tip into the back of Player #1's head.

A trickle of blood seeped from the skin, and Player 1 opened his eyes.

"See? We really have to let the professionals handle this."

Player #4 said smugly.

"You almost failed, what are you so smug about?"

Player #3 was speechless.

"Passing is enough. What's the point of going any higher? It's impossible to achieve great success anyway."

Player #4 shrugged.

"What should we do now?"

"Player #1 asked."

"How about Number 4 treats himself and Number 3 first?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

Both of them only have 2 stamina points left. Once the battle begins, a single slap will be enough to kill them.

Just as Player 4 was about to speak, a loud bang suddenly came from outside, and a tentacle thicker than a person pierced through the hull and entered the cabin.

"Triggering key plot points will put the module into semi-real-time mode. All player actions will consume time rounds, and discussion time will also be limited."

The voice of the female divers rang out.

“现在进入玩家轮次，行动顺序为2号玩家、3号玩家、1号玩家、4号玩家。讨论时间为10分钟。”

An invisible force drew a circle around the players, preventing them from moving freely.

"If we go straight there, we'll definitely get attacked by the tentacles, right?"

Liu Zheng looked at the tentacles blocking his way and said.

“That’s right. And if we enter the combat cycle, I suspect it can attack all four of us in one round.”

"That's what Player #3 said."

Judging from the thickness, there is at least a large section outside the cabin.

"How about we use that kid as bait?"

Player 1 suggested.

"How are we supposed to take it? The four of us are obviously more appealing than one person. Surely this sea monster doesn't just like eating tender human steaks, right?"

Player #3 countered with a question.

"How about I become a scholar?"

"That's what Player #4 said."

"Well, this is fine."

Everyone nodded.

"Host, I have applied for a scholar skills assessment."

"That's what Player #4 said."

"What do you want to know?"

The sea woman asked.

'I want to know its habits and weaknesses.'

"That's what Player #4 said."

"Sea monsters are mythical creatures. Since you don't have any mystical knowledge, you'll need to pass a difficult test if you use scholar skills to determine their existence."

The female diver said.

"A module with magical powers, and you're a scholar, why don't you study the mystical arts?"

Liu Zheng cast a questioning look at him.

"Wasn't it that number 2 who confidently told me before that your character has a wide range of knowledge about the occult and that I don't need to point it out?"

Player #4 jumps down.

"Well, that guy really deserved to die."

He said naturally.
