Chapter 40 Glass Cannon
Silver Tower, Hall.

Gao Xin, Qiao Long, Su Le, Mei Mei and Dongfang Yi, five people gathered here.

Peter and the black captain were also there, but they were not there to participate in the game. Instead, they were there to send others to participate in the game.

This is the captain’s responsibility, otherwise ordinary team members cannot run around alone.

Gao Xin had a lot of bandages on his body, and his arms, which were exposed by his short-sleeved shirt, were almost all tightly wrapped in bandages.

He walked to the round table and called number 97.

"Team matching, intermediate game."

Gao Xin started the match without any hesitation.

I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but it turned out that I was in line right at the beginning, and it seemed like they were the ones waiting.

They immediately entered the elevator and were quickly taken to the gaming venue.

Sure enough, there were already twenty-five people here. As soon as they arrived and asked, the game could begin.

Apparently they were the last team.

In a game of thirty people, ten of them are radiators and twenty are glass men.

The most eye-catching Radiator team is made up of muscular men, each 1.9 meters tall. They are all armed with heavy weapons such as power axes and power hammers, and they look very tough.

Since they were all white and dressed in such a dignified manner, Gao Xin wondered if the bearded man he had met before was also from this group of people? Did they all belong to a small gang?
As for the other team of radiators, the leader was actually a woman.

She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and wore twin ponytails, but she was wearing a black vest and camouflage military pants. She twirled two huge guns in her hands and asked in a sharp voice, "No. 97, are we all here? Tell me the rules of the game."

Qiao Long also has two pistols, which can be bought for just a few dozen points.

But compared with the pair of ponytail guns, they are not even on the same level. Those two guns are more like hand cannons!

The few people standing with the twin ponytails were obviously radiators, equipped with heavy weapons and looking majestic.

Gao Xin and the others looked at each other. It was a mid-level game, and they were still in a team. The people they were paired with were indeed extraordinary.

It's obvious that they are not easy to deal with. It's impossible to deal with them like we did with Silver Hand.

They immediately kept a low profile and listened carefully to the rules.

"All 20 members of the Glass Cannon are present. Now let me announce the rules. Before the game officially begins, all players must not harm each other. Those who violate the rules will be killed."

Just hearing this first sentence, the glass men present couldn't help but relax their brows.

It’s so comfortable.

I was relieved to see other groups of glass people.

The ten radiators put too much pressure on them, especially the one with twin ponytails, holding two large hand cannons. One shot from them would probably turn them into minced meat.

No. 97 didn't care what they thought and continued, "This game is divided into two camps, black and white. Each camp can accommodate up to people."

"Thirty people will be assigned to the black and white camps. Each camp will be assigned at least five glass men at the beginning."

"When you cross the passage and enter the black or white camp base, you will be confirmed as belonging to that camp."

Everyone looked at the wall, where two passages suddenly opened up, one filled with white light and the other was pitch black.

They were wondering where the venue was, but it turns out there were different entrances.

The woman with twin ponytails asked, "And then?"

No. 97 said calmly, "The remaining rules of the game will be announced at the camp base. Everyone must enter the venue within five minutes."

Hearing this, Gao Xin's pupils shrank.

Without mentioning other rules, choose identity first?

Meimei was the first to whisper, "Could it be that the black and white teams have different mission rules?"

Qiao Long shook his head: "Not necessarily. It may be that the game will become easier after knowing the rules and then dividing into teams."

Dongfang Yi whispered, "Haha, this camp selection is a huge pitfall. It only says that the minimum number of glass people is five, but it doesn't say what the minimum total number of people in each camp is. Is this encouraging a 25:5 distribution?"

Suler added: "It didn't mention whether you can change your camp, but it's probably possible, after all, it mentioned 'initial'."

Gao Xin said coldly: "Let's try not to separate the five of us."

Separate! Yes, it only said that thirty people would be assigned to camps, but it didn't say that they would be divided into six teams. In theory, they could be broken up.

Several people looked unhappy. Even before the rules were finished, the fight could already begin.

This camp selection is just an appetizer.

Fortunately, the rules state that they cannot harm each other, otherwise they would be manipulated by this group of radiators and divided however they want.

“Hahahaha!” The woman with twin ponytails laughed loudly: “I like black!”

Having said that, he led a few people into the black passage without any intention of chatting any more.

However, the Radiator team, which was composed entirely of muscular men, moved faster. They rushed forward at the first moment and blocked the entrances to both the black and white passages.

The leader held a sledgehammer and slammed it on the ground, saying, "Don't be impatient, beauty. Do you want to join our Viking Gang?"

"There are thirty people in total, with an average of fifteen people in each camp. Our two Radiator teams will be combined, plus five Glass Men will be just right."

"You like black, so let's all be black."

The woman with the twin ponytails blinked her long eyelashes and said, "Great."

The twenty glass men present were speechless. At the beginning, the two radiator teams directly joined forces and occupied one camp.

This means that the other camp is destined to be filled with only glass men!

This is a clear sign of an intention to unite the strong and bully the weak.

However, just when they thought that was it, the next words from the woman with twin ponytails made the glass people feel even more nervous.

"But big tough guy, if you're planning on making the team unbalanced, why do you only need five glass men? Just bring all of them to the black team and leave five for the white team, hehe."

The glass people are numb, 25 people on the black team and 5 people on the white team?
However, when she suggested this, the big hammer man's eyes lit up: "Why keep five? Just bring all of them to the black team, leaving the white team with no one."

But the twin-tailed woman rolled her eyes and said, "Are you stupid? I said that a camp can accommodate a maximum of 25 people. If the White Team cannot complete the minimum allocation, will the game end directly and let you win?"

"Maybe fifteen people will be randomly selected to join the white team. Then our team might be broken up and it will be a black-white showdown."

The sledgehammer man smiled and said, "Whatever. Maybe it would be better if we dispersed?"

The twin ponytails shook their braids, "I don't want to be separated. The four idiots behind me can't leave me alone."

The four men in black vests behind her all had blank expressions on their faces, showing no emotion at all from being called idiots.

"At least leave five people for the White Team and follow the rules. The rest don't matter. Just do what you think."

"Anyway, I'm on the black team."

As she said this she walked straight towards the black passage.

The man with the sledgehammer waved his hand and asked people to make way, allowing the five members of the twin-tailed team to enter the base first.

Su Le pursed his lips and said, "This woman is too lazy to do anything and doesn't care about the results of the division. She's too arrogant."

Dongfang Yi whispered, "What's there to worry about? In fact, the camp selection at the beginning seems to have many tricks, but no one knows what the specific rules are, and no one knows how to divide the team to be more beneficial to themselves."

"So she didn't bother to do anything at the beginning, and just led the team to choose a camp first. This was the right choice."

"Anyway, her team is full of radiators, a strong team. No matter where she goes, she won't be ignored."

"If the people outside think more people are better, they will naturally follow her to the black team. If the people outside think fewer people are better, they will all go to the white team, and she will not be isolated, because she must be assigned at least five glass men."

"In any case, she won't lose anything. She can just pick one first and let the people outside do the talking. She can also be the first to enter the base to familiarize herself with the terrain."

Qiao Long said calmly: "But we glass men don't have such qualifications, otherwise it is likely that the five of us will form a separate camp."

Meimei pursed her lips and said, "Wherever a strong person goes, they are the center. As long as she makes the first choice, others will naturally think around her."

Dongfang Yi chuckled: "We don't know what the rules are yet, maybe it would be better for the five of us to occupy one camp?"

At this moment, the man with the hammer said loudly: "We, the Vikings, have also decided to go to the black team. We also need fifteen glass men, leaving only five for the white team..."

Many glass people immediately began to recommend themselves.

They all said that they were the most obedient and promised to follow orders, and that as long as they could survive, they would be fine, as if they had no bones.

The man with the sledgehammer laughed, made a hook with his hand, and picked out several people and sent them into the black passage.

Some of those who were not selected had tears in their eyes. One thin and small boy knelt on the ground and begged.

"Master, please have mercy on me. I am very obedient. I cannot die. I really cannot die."

The man with the sledgehammer said in disgust, "Do you think I can die? What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Get the hell over here."

The helpless boy slumped on the ground with a dull look in his eyes, but he quickly cheered up, stared at the white gate, and walked towards it resolutely.

There are some people who are still begging, and the sledgehammer man is picky about it.

Soon the glass man team was scattered.

Only Gao Xin's team and another team of glass men were left, still holding together with five people. The other teams seemed to have disintegrated on the spot.

Gao Xin frowned: "Their team is disbanding now?"

Qiao Long said: "There are two teams, probably NPCs... They look like a team of five people, but in fact they may not know each other."

"Are NPC players forced to participate?" Gao Xin asked.

Qiao Long nodded: "Yes, but no coercive measures have been formulated. The official will not have any power to enforce it outside the Silver Tower, so it mainly depends on the local gangs in power to escort the NPCs. In this regard, the Silver Tower officials have a cooperative relationship with the local snakes."

"There will only be one partner in each Silver Tower region, and the one with the strongest power will get the spot. It is said that they will give a lot of indulgences. In short, there will be rewards for helping the Silver Tower."

Next, Qiao Long talked a lot about NPCs.

Gao Xin lamented that NPCs cannot choose the difficulty or whether to form a team, and are just there to make up the numbers.

This game matches ten NPCs, which are probably consumables.

Wait, consumables?

Gao Xin frowned. This game is called "Glass Cannon", and the camp rules require at least five glass men. There must be a connection.

Could it be that it literally means that the glass men are the "cannonballs" of their respective camps?
The more glass people there are, the more shells this camp has, and there must be at least five shells, otherwise the game cannot continue?
He immediately expressed his guess, and everyone frowned.

It can't be that cruel, right? How does this cannonball work?
"If there are only five of us, we will probably suffer a great loss." Dongfang Yi immediately rejected his previous words.

Qiao Long suddenly said, "Understood, leave it to me."

He no longer hesitated, rushed to the glass man team who were still huddled together nearby, pulled them together and started talking.

Gao Xin knew that this was an attempt to attract allies.

It is difficult to form an alliance with the radiators, and NPC players are unreliable, so the only option is to win over another group of normal players.

"What are you talking about! You, you...and the rest of you, come here." The man with the sledgehammer was still picking people.

He took a fancy to Gao Xin and Sule, as well as several strong players from another team.

Gao Xin immediately brought Dongfang Yi and Jin Meimei forward.

"Why is there a woman here? No, no, woman, go to the white team." The man with the sledgehammer was bossy.

Meimei gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Since you don't want us, forget it. Let's all go to the White Team."

As he spoke, he led a few people towards the white area.

However, there were two muscular men guarding the white passage. They glared at Gao Xin and said, "Glass man, your camp will be decided by our big brother!"

"Get over here!"

Gao Xin stood there, not retreating at all. The man with the sledgehammer also came over and said, "Boy, don't you understand? I only want two of you, the other three, get out of here."

Gao Xin retorted, "I wanted to try to join the same team as you guys, but I didn't expect you to play so stupidly. I think I'd better join the White Team."

"What did you say!" The sturdy man guarding the door became furious, pointing at Gao Xin with a murderous look in his eyes.

However, Gao Xin was not afraid at all and stared at him: "What? You want to touch me?"

The rules of the game state that players cannot harm each other now, and those who violate this will be killed.

Of course the other party also remembered this, so he chose to block the door with his body to prevent them from entering.

"Boy, do you really think I dare not touch you?" The sledgehammer man slammed his huge hammer heavily on the ground, looking very majestic.

"I just said that you must not cause any harm before the game officially starts. Once you enter the game, aren't you still my toy?"

Gao Xin asked back, "What a bunch of idiots, you still think you are so great? I only know that we are all playthings of the audience. May I ask if you are from the 'Emperor What' Group?"

The sledgehammer man just glared in silence.

But a muscular man guarding the door yelled angrily, "Fuck, do you really think I dare not kill you? It's as easy as crushing an ant to death!"

Gao Xin didn't even step back, and shrugged: "Only children would regard crushing ants as an impressive achievement and show off to their fathers."

"Fuck!" The muscular man broke down on the spot and slapped him directly.

The sledgehammer man said coldly, "That's enough."

The muscular man actually didn't really lose his mind. He didn't mean to slap Gao Xin for real, but to scare him. He intended to stop by Gao Xin's face and blow at him with the wind from his palm.

However, he underestimated Gao Xin.

In just a moment, Gao Xin put his head forward and moved very close at an extremely fast speed.

The opponent's palm was too powerful, and Gao Xin was unexpectedly so agile that he couldn't stop the car completely in time.

"puff……"

With a slight sound, the slap was stopped at the moment and had already landed on Gao Xin's face.

The force was not strong at all, and he still controlled it at the critical moment. It was at most a light pat on the face and nose.

But Gao Xin did not resist at all. Instead, he shook his head and blood spurted out of his nose.

Blood splattered everywhere and Gao Xin fell down under the force, as if he was weak and could not withstand any wind.

"Bang!" Gao Xin's head hit the metal floor heavily, leaving a bruise.

"Ah?" The guy who slapped the person was dumbfounded.

The sledgehammer man also widened his eyes: You didn't even stop this time? Why are you pretending?
The person who slapped him was stunned: It's impossible, he was under control, how could his nose bleed?
He realized that Gao Xin was not an ordinary high-quality glass man and his body control was simply outrageous, but it was too late.

No. 97 said coldly: "It's against the rules to kill!"

“No, wait…” The guy wanted to argue, but a white light covered his head.

In just a moment, his entire body turned into powder, and then even the powder disappeared, evaporating into a puff of green smoke.

Gao Xin stood up, holding his nose, and witnessed the whole process. This was the first time he saw a point kill. He didn't know what kind of technique this was, but it looked incredibly powerful.

The whole person was blasted into gas, which was impossible for a flesh and blood body to resist.

There is also suction force above, which takes away all the smoke, so that the air molecules at the scene remain fresh.

"Brother!" the sledgehammer man yelled.

The other muscular men were also shocked by this sudden change, and the glass man was even dumbfounded.

It’s a scam, absolutely a scam.

"You!" The other muscular men surrounded him angrily.

Gao Xin didn't move at all, just watched a group of people surrounding him.

"Fake!"

"You're dead! Boy! You're dead!"

"You dare to kill our Viking gang!"

"You are so brave, so brave!"

The three muscular men were so angry that their faces were distorted and they wished they could strangle him to death.

He raised his palm to hit, but could only let it fall back on his forehead, scratching the itch.

I reached out to push, but I didn't dare to touch, I just pulled and rubbed in the air...

He swung his fist to hit, but pulled it back like lightning and kept pulling.

Gao Xin just stood there, watching a group of people surrounding him, massaging the air around his face, behind his head, on his chest, and on his vest with their hands.

All kinds of fake moves, trying to trick him into blocking.

But Gao Xin stood there calmly. If he overreacted, it might be someone else's turn to be scammed.

"What are you doing? Touch it if you want. It's okay for you to touch it." Gao Xin smiled and suddenly moved forward.

The three sturdy men immediately stopped and stepped aside, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to try to scam them.

But Gao Xin didn't find them at all. He broke through and stopped at the entrance of the white passage without going in.

"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself." The man with the sledgehammer said coldly.

The three strong men retreated unwillingly, their eyes still fixed on Gao Xin.

Gao Xin stood at the entrance of the White Team, looking like he was blocking the door.

Seeing his posture, everyone else was stunned. Why was it his turn to block the door?

The sledgehammer man frowned slightly, then raised his mouth: "Boy, are you scared?"

Gao Xin said calmly: "Oh? What are you afraid of?"

The man with the hammer said coldly, "You are blocking the door because you are afraid that I will join the same camp as you and kill you without any care."

Gao Xin asked back: "Do you want to try? Now I am the 'door'!"

The man with the sledgehammer walked up and slowly put his face close to hers.

Gao Xin did not retreat a single step, and the tips of their noses were about to touch.

"I'm not that reckless. There are plenty of opportunities to kill you in the game. Even if you survive by chance, you can't leave the Silver Tower!"

He said this directly and then led the team towards the black team passage.

Meimei said with some worry: "This... We have made a deadly feud with a group of radiators. If everyone returns to the hall alive, we will be dead."

Everyone learned the rules of the Silver Tower from Qiao Long. They were not allowed to kill anyone during settlement or in the elevator, but they were allowed to fight.

Once you exit the elevator and reach the lobby on the first floor, you are completely out of the control of the Silver Tower and you can even kill people, not to mention beating them.

There are many groups in Yamaguchi Village. The Yakuza is the strongest, and the others are inferior. This Viking Gang usually doesn't target a group of slaves outside, but now they have a deadly feud, so what if they kill a few slaves? At most, they can pay some money to the Yakuza.

Gao Xin said coldly: "Then just get rid of them all in the game. If you don't offend them, won't they kill the glass man in the game?"

"It's obvious that this group of people focuses on playing violent games. In comparison, I'm more worried about the other group of radiators."

Qiao Long came over and said, "These Vikings are not fools. No gang would send five reckless men to participate in a team game, at least not the leader."

"The one with the sledgehammer was very crazy at first, but he quickly calmed down when Gao Xin tried to provoke him."

Everyone understands that since an organization has sent a team to play the game, the team leader must prioritize the interests of the game. Otherwise, if he sends a group of players who only care about brotherhood, then there is no point in playing the game.

Gao Xin was guarding the white door and said, "It is possible to change sides in the game, but at least at the beginning, I don't want to be on the side of the radiators, especially this group of people."

Dongfang Yi fully understood that the Viking Gang had been bossing people around from the start. It was conceivable that if they were in the same camp with this gang, they would be asking for trouble.

In this case, I might as well offend him to death and try to weaken him, while also changing the position of blocking the White Gate to myself.

At this moment, Gao Xin was blocking the white gate and had the initiative. Anyone who wanted to enter had to get his permission, and he only had to enter last.

Even if all the Vikings are reckless men, they can't get in just because they want to.

"I have already talked to the other five people. They are willing to join us in the white camp and form the Glass Man Alliance." Qiao Long said.

Gao Xin looked over and saw the young man leading the five people nodding slightly at him.

"Do you know them?" Gao Xin thought to himself that Qiao Long's method of winning people over was pretty good.

Qiao Long smiled and said, "I don't know them, but I asked around and found out that they are from the Servant Group, and the leader is called Xing Shiping."

Gao Xin was surprised: "Servant?"

Then I remembered that on the first day of the newcomers, Viper had asked a group of Japanese to select servants. In addition, Rousi's family also had servant toys.

I didn't expect that servants could also participate in the game. So shouldn't Luo Yan be able to do so as well?
Qiao Long said: "The servant group has no rules. Everything comes first with the master. Whether or not you can participate in the game is just a matter of the master's words."

"Some black hands don't need anyone to serve them. They take servants away and train them into their own 'private little redemption group'."

Gao Xin lamented that Luo Yan was very popular with Rousi, and it was obvious that Rousi would not be willing to let him go to play games.

"You guys go in first..." Gao Xin made some space in front of the white passage to let Dongfang Yi and Meimei go in first.

Afterwards, Qiao Long was allowed to enter with his five servants.

The four members of the Viking Gang stared at Gao Xin fiercely, but still did not join the black team.

This forced Gao Xin to keep blocking the white passage, because there was no guarantee that the Viking gang would suddenly rush into the white team at the last moment, or send someone over.

Although it would be a loss to do this when this group has already lost a member, killing him would only be a way to vent their anger, and they might end up being defeated by the group with twin ponytails.

But it's possible that they are just so reckless. At this moment, the man with the sledgehammer seemed to be thinking.

"Excuse me, I have a watch. I will enter at the last second. Are you sure you still want to keep an eye on me? Why don't you go in quickly and familiarize yourself with the venue?"

Gao Xin shook his watch and spoke loudly.

The hammer man saw that there were no other glass men, and only Gao Xin and Sule were left guarding the white gate.

After thinking about it, he turned around and entered the black passage, taking away all the remaining glass men.

Suler said, "They've gone in, we don't have to defend anymore, let's go in too."

Gao Xin said solemnly: "Who said we don't need to guard it? Can't we go in and come out later?"

Suler was speechless. From their angle, they could only see the Viking Gang going in.

But a channel is a channel, and a base is a base. Only by entering the base from the channel can the camp be established.

Who knows, at the last minute, someone might be suddenly sent to the White Team.

"I have to make sure that the White Team has no Radiators at the start, so that at least within the camp, we can have control."

Gao Xin looked at his watch and waited until the last ten seconds of five minutes.

"Brother, come in quickly." A beautiful voice came from deep in the passage.

Gao Xin judged that the base was not far away, so he waited for a few seconds before pulling Su Le into the passage and running wildly.

At this point everyone has established their camps. The black team has nine radiators and ten glass men.

The White Team only has ten glass men.
