Chapter 53 Draw
On the other side, there was shock and excitement in the White Base.

Gao Xin stepped into the base, and Meimei covered her mouth and screamed: "Brother!!!"

Dongfang Yi was also excited to see Gao Xin come back alive.

"I really did it for you... Boss, how dare you bet?"

Gao Xin said with a firm look in his eyes: "Why don't you dare to gamble?"

"I can't accept a white win, and in fact it would be harder to win."

"Now that you have decided on your goal, do your best. Either you win or you die. I'm betting that the other side doesn't dare to bet!"

Dongfang Yi looked at Gao Xin deeply: "This is too dangerous. If the other side has any trust in you, or finds out that you are not a gladiator, you are dead!"

"Even if they realize that you are determined to keep the black players, they will be forced to unite and risk their lives to kill you."

"If they can do any of the above, you will die."

"Are you so confident that you can see through them?"

It's not that the radiators don't dare to gamble their lives. They dare to do so at critical moments. It's just that they need a reason to do so...

Unlike Gao Xin, he would actually gamble his life for the black team to win. He would not only not kill the black player, but also risk his life to defend the next drop of blood. The opponent would never be able to imagine this.

Gao Xin sighed, "Each of you regards your life as more important than your life... What can't you see through?"

"Unless you get rid of your fear of death, when it comes to life and death, your choices will be the same."

"Just like you decided to kill all the black players after being betrayed, the other side thought the same thing."

Dongfang Yi grinned, of course life is the most important.

He knew that it would be more difficult to play after killing all the black players.

If Gao Xin hadn't shown off to the opponent, it means that they can only win with white, and use one drop of blood to beat the opponent's five drops of blood!

Taking turns to attack, that means there are ten more rounds to fight!
What concept? The more options there are, the more they go on. Even if they kill everyone else in the base and only leave the five of them, there is no guarantee that they will be exactly the same every time!
The best way to win is to take the black route like Gao Xin did.

But even if Dongfang Yi understood all this, what would happen? Wasn't he still determined to kill all the black players?
Meimei was surprised and said, "Brother, I still think you are too greedy. If you succeed, you can say that, but if you fail... If it were me, I would still choose the most stable way."

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Greedy? Is that what you think? I said, if I fail, you can just use your own way of fighting."

"Don't count me in anyway. I'd rather die in the arena."

"Because I can't accept the worst outcome."

Meimei was surprised: "The worst outcome for you to fight is... death!"

Gao Xin said seriously: "The team collapses, one drop of blood fights five drops of blood, and after ten rounds, isn't the worst result death? Believe me, it will even be worse than death..."

"If the other side threatens you once and a fool appears in your team, you will think it is safe to kill them all and that you cannot allow anyone to threaten your life... If you are trapped by this logic..."

"You will soon realize that this is not stable enough. When you struggle to fight against the Radiators who are gradually uniting, and there is a slight mistake, you will feel that Sule, Meimei, and Qiao Long are also stupid."

"Everyone except me is an idiot. It's best to kill them all. That way, I can defend the base by myself. It's the most stable way..."

"If we win, it's fine. But if we lose, it would be a shame to die here in humiliation and without any future... This is the worst outcome in my eyes."

Meimei was silent. Those who seek the best will get the middle, those who seek the middle will get the bottom, and those who seek the bottom will not be able to get in the mainstream!
Dongfang Yi lowered his head and thought: "So it's only natural to get rid of the traitor, isn't it?"

Gao Xin sneered, "You don't even know everyone's name, what are you rebelling for? We've only known each other for three minutes. They are black and we are white. We don't even have a plan. We are just confused for a moment. We are like puppets, playing according to our own identities."

"At most, it's ungrateful, and it's not too extreme. Didn't I say, 'I'm glad they didn't vote me as a gladiator'?"

"NPCs are panicking and worried about gains and losses. Don't expect them to be clear-headed. Sometimes people just act stupid... But do you want to kill them all? Don't let this game distort your mind. This is a problem that our team actually has. It's a good thing to show it as soon as possible."

"Only people with low thinking ability will just kill them all and avoid the problem. People with high thinking ability will choose to solve the problem."

"You shouldn't just consider this, Dongfang Yi. I have high expectations of you. You are very smart, but... you have to be attentive."

Dongfang Yi sighed. Not caring? What kind of heart? Empathy?
Forgiveness that avoids problems is called incompetence, and forgiveness that solves problems is called redemption.

Gao Xin was willing to risk his own life, which required not only strategy and courage, but also a kind heart.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t even think of it... and even if you did think of it, you wouldn’t do it, because some narrow logic would trap you.

"Be attentive..." Dongfang Yi suddenly looked up, his eyes shining. If his mind was opened up, his thoughts would indeed become clear.

Putting aside personal danger, from the perspective of the team, the safest option is actually Gao Xin’s... double insurance.

After all, if all black players are killed, only white can win, so we must hold on to white's blood... and we must fight! Otherwise, how can white play with one blood? We might as well kill until only one person is left.

Gao Xin was actually dying for the entire team in both the 'win with black' and 'win with white' paths!

However, he disliked the path of "winning for nothing" so much that he didn't even want to mention it, didn't even want to see it, and was even too lazy to live until that moment.

When he went out to play, he said, "That's your way of playing, and I have my goals."

"If I die, you can just fight as you said. My death won't be a burden to anything. In your eyes, this drop of blood is inevitable."

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yi even suspected that Gao Xin deliberately exposed some ungrateful people.

Of course, he didn't ask. He had already figured out the deep meaning behind Gao Xin's two warnings to him not to say anything that would disunite him.

At this time, the two had already gone upstairs, and the others were looking at Gao Xin in shock. They also felt that Gao Xin's series of decisions were simply not something a normal person could make.

Especially at the end, he died to protect the traitor. This action was completely against common sense and shocked all the NPCs.

I was even more moved when I heard Gao Xin’s words.

No one has ever understood NPCs this way. They have experienced an unprecedented sense of security, a sense of security that is greater than holding their own lives in their own hands...

"Aba Aba!" The two NPC traitors kowtowed desperately, feeling moved, shocked, guilty, fortunate, and convinced. Countless emotions surged in their hearts.

They didn't care how many thoughts Gao Xin had, they only knew that Gao Xin went to die and saved their lives again.

This made them very ashamed, and they kowtowed and beat their chests.

I couldn't say anything, so I could only express myself as best I could and obey completely.

The other NPCs felt more at ease because they did not betray, but they were almost implicated.

When everyone wanted to kill them all, Gao Xin resolutely went out to solve the problem. At this moment, they felt that leaving their lives to Gao Xin was more reassuring than leaving them to themselves.

Dongfang Yi understood a little and said with emotion: "You are too strong... Captain, I really admire you. You are really... really not afraid of death."

"I've thought of pretending to be a gladiator and a glass cannon before, but I know that the profit from pretending is higher than the real thing, so I will choose to become a real gladiator."

"You are even more ruthless this time. You are ready to die. There is not even a trace of fear of death in your eyes."

Gao Xin said calmly: "I only have awe for death, not fear."

“We came from the universe and will eventually return to it. If we do nothing, then our trip would be in vain.”

"A bad and failed life experience is far more terrible than death itself."

Everyone present was impressed and felt clearly the gap between themselves and Gao Xin.

Gao Xin gave them a feeling that this man would definitely rise.

Either die or be extraordinary!
This is a kind of spiritual shock that can be described as "destined to be extraordinary", which makes people tremble.

Gao Xin looked at the two NPC traitors and said calmly, "Now, white still has two drops of blood, so you have another chance."

"If you make the wrong shot next time, I will play again."

His tone was calm, but the words he said were earth-shattering.

He actually said that if he voted wrong again, he would die again? How outrageous is this? It simply doesn't make sense...

Although he could have killed Gao Xin directly for betraying him, he chose to die first as a sign of respect.

Twice, three times, four times...it happens no matter how many times. The other party is not a fool, but this is determination.

When determination reaches a terrifying point, the only options are success or death.

“Will there be a next time?” Dongfang Yi drew his sword and chopped off the hands of the two men.

His knife skills were poor and he only cut off half of his palm, but the two men made Aba howl in pain.

"If you throw it wrong, it's not a hand. If Boss Gao dies, all of you will be buried with him!"

"Aba Aba!" The NPCs expressed their willingness to obey and gave up thinking completely.

If before, they might have had other thoughts and wanted to take their lives into their own hands and give it a try.

After all this, they won't think so at all. What the hell, just them? Just give up thinking about it.

They felt a kind of "absolute" from Gao Xin.

At this moment, everyone firmly believed that the white side had no chance of winning this game! Unless Gao Xin died!
There's no way they could survive any other way. There's no such thing, Zero!

The only way to survive is to hand over your life to Gao Xin.

This thought was as firm as a stamp on their minds, making them believe it absolutely.

"Boss Gao, we will play the game the way you say! We will listen to you, no questions asked!" Xing Shiping also expressed his sincere opinion. He and his team stared at Gao Xin with shining eyes, completely convinced. Gao Xin smiled: "Okay, throw out a gladiator right now, hurry up, time is running out."

Everyone was stunned. Some didn't know what this meant, but they gave up thinking and went in to vote first.

……

On the other side, inside the black base.

The two radiators raised their heads, waiting to lose blood.

It's really frustrating for the attacking side to lose health.

When they looked at each other, they immediately felt that the other party was in the way... In theory, the ticket for subversion could be blocked as long as they were alive...

The two waited in silence, but after waiting for a long time, no blood was lost and three minutes had passed.

"what's the situation?"

"Why didn't you lose blood?"

They looked at the health bar projected above their heads, which remained motionless, still at '5'.

The two Radiants were stunned.

Then Sophia reacted: "Ah? Isn't he a gladiator?"

Louis immediately understood: "Not a gladiator? So the opponent still lost health?"

"Is he crazy then? He's not a gladiator, why is he running out?"

In their eyes, this situation has no logic at all.

They were completely confused by Gao Xin's operation. How could he not be a gladiator?

In their logic, Gao Xin must have been cast out by the black traitor on the opposite side, which is why he came out.

Otherwise, why did Gao Xin come out? Was he looking for death?

"But now we didn't lose any blood, so it must be the opponent who lost it. And since the opponent lost blood, it means he must not be a gladiator." Sophia analyzed with a confused look on her face.

Louis frowned and said, "So we didn't have to be afraid of being killed just now. We can just go out together and kill him?"

"Then what about suicide and mutual destruction? That's nonsense."

Sophia said angrily: "Damn it! Ahhh! This guy lied to us again."

"That's the third time. He pretended to be a gladiator three times in a row! We actually believed him!"

It has to be said that Gao Xin's actions made her angry.

But Louis felt something was wrong, he waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is illogical!"

"What's the point of him pretending to be a gladiator? Since he's planning to lose blood on his side, why doesn't he just not come out?"

"Since he's here and is forcing us not to fight, then he can just become a gladiator. Then we'll be the ones losing blood..."

"What a contradiction, what on earth is he playing at?"

He couldn't figure it out.

Until Sophia said faintly: "Didn't he lose any health? Is this... a draw?"

Louis was stunned and said, “There’s still a tie?”

Sophia said coldly: "The rules only state that the defending side must send glass people as gladiators, otherwise they will automatically be judged as losers."

"As for the attacking side, they can send any number of players they want, and they will not automatically be declared the loser if they do not send any players."

"In the fifth round just now, we were the attackers, but we didn't send out the gladiators, which was considered as giving up the attack. As long as the defending side has gladiators, it means they have defended, and their health will not be deducted, so it will naturally be a draw."

Louis frowned and said, "No! In the fourth round, we were the defending side, and the one who sent out the gladiator was the NPC named Han Qing."

"The opponent, as the attacker, loses health. Otherwise, how can they kill the traitor? At that time, my brother ran into the white base and was killed."

The fourth round was a big watershed, so he remembers it very clearly.

It's the same situation as before, the attacking side has no gladiators, but the defending side has gladiators.

Why did the attacking team lose health in the fourth round because they didn’t have gladiators, but didn’t lose health in this round because they didn’t have gladiators?

"So the opponent must have lost a lot of blood, and only the last drop is left! But... why? Why did he plan to lose blood, but still come out?" Louis was going crazy.

They racked their brains, unable to understand what Gao Xin was doing.

Just then, the invitation for the sixth round came.

They had no choice but to go in and vote for the invitation letter first. The question was not very difficult. After they voted, according to the plan, Sophia tried to persuade Louis to rebel.

However, it failed.

The two came out with gloomy faces: "We actually failed. The opponent... has a black player."

Louis was puzzled: "Is he crazy? Why doesn't he kill all the black players? He only has one drop of blood left!"

Sophia was very calm, because if white lost, she would win.

In comparison, Louis is of course anxious, he is white...

Louis thought anxiously: "No, no, it's still the same question as before. Since he intends to deduct blood, why did he come out and take risks?"

"What exactly is going on?"

He is white, and he is very anxious. The more anxious he is, the less he can think of anything.

Instead, Sophia suddenly slammed the table and said, "Ah! I know!"

"Draw! It's a draw! The opponent still has two drops of blood!"

Louis was stunned: "How did you do that?"

Sophia continued, "Once the invitation letter fails and the duel is accepted, both sides must select a gladiator within three minutes. If the defender does not choose, health will be deducted. If the attacker does not choose, it's fine, as it means they have given up the attack."

"And if the gladiators don't enter the arena within one minute, they will be killed... but they don't have to enter the arena!"

"As long as the attacking side does not have a gladiator, the defending side only needs to select a gladiator in the last few seconds. They can maintain the defender's health without entering the arena!"

"Because we have entered the next round, the identities of the gladiators have been reset and new gladiators have to be selected."

After hearing this, Louis also suddenly realized.

Yes, there is a situation where no blood is deducted!
The conditions are that the attacking side has no gladiators and the defending side's gladiators do not enter the field.

Because in the fourth round, the attacking side lost blood.

The reason was that Han Qing had entered the arena very early. In this case, if the attacking side did not send anyone within three minutes, even if Han Qing won, the losing camp would lose blood.

Whether or not to enter the game is a key factor in determining whether there is a winner.

Because the rules say: During non-fighting time, no one except the winner is allowed to be in the arena, and the winner must return to the base within one minute, otherwise he will be killed.

Therefore, as long as a gladiator enters the field, no matter if he kills the opposing gladiator or there is no gladiator on the opposing side at all, he must be the 'winner'!
Otherwise, it would be like... As long as the opponent doesn't choose a player, whoever's gladiator is on the field will die after three minutes? That's the point of playing.

It is also very easy to prevent the gladiators from entering the arena.

The identity of the gladiator will be reset, after all, the rules clearly state that "there can only be one gladiator on each base."

If the gladiators from the previous round still have their identities when entering the next round, wouldn't it mean that the gladiators from the first round will be used until the last round? Then there is no point in casting in the later rounds, and there is no such thing as avoiding battle.

Gladiators must be re-selected in each round. The time for selecting gladiators is 'three minutes', and the limit for killing a gladiator if he does not enter the field is 'one minute'.

There is a lot to be done with this 'one minute'.

Gao Xin first pretended to be a gladiator and challenged them to a fight, to make sure they didn't send any gladiators. In this way, the time to end the round was three minutes.

Then go back and select your own defending gladiator when the three minutes are almost up.

In this way, multiple conditions are fulfilled at the same time: 'the attacking side has no gladiators, so it gives up the attack', 'the defending side has gladiators, so it doesn't have to be automatically declared the loser', and 'there are no gladiators entering the field, and then there is no winner, and no loser', thus achieving a draw without any blood loss.

"Damn it. So we could have really gone out and killed him just now!" Louis was so angry that he smashed the wall with a hammer.

Sophia was also very angry. Gao Xin had pretended to be a gladiator three times in a row.

How dare he?

The two were in the base, mad with rage.

At the same time, they felt chilled to the bone. They had met a real madman who was smart and daring at the same time!

……

ps: Sorry. Originally, this chapter didn't explain so much, but I was really speechless, so I had to give Dongfang Yijiang a little bit of wisdom. Otherwise, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I sat up in bed scratching my head, wondering why he was so saintly. Louis clearly talked about their plan in the first two chapters, including Gao Xin's enlightenment and various details. I don't want to write it in such a fragmented way. This is the only time, and I won't explain it again. Gao Xin will be this character in the future. He is not unfamiliar with death at all. A person who understands who I am, where I come from, and where I am going, as long as he thinks there is benefit, he can face death at any time. Theoretically, I can also end this book at any time. Otherwise, you can vote, maybe the protagonist will die when it is first put on the shelves. Well, it will be on the shelves on the 14th.
