Chapter 711

Eight hundred Eerie Coins!

This was very close to the number of Eerie Coins he had won at the 'Royal Casino'.

Lin Ye even boldly guessed whether similar accidental events that increased rewards would appear later!

Nakiri Erina heard it, but she didn't speak up to explain, just watched silently.

This time,

she could also be considered to have made a contribution.

As for who those eight hundred Eerie Coins would eventually fall to, it remained an unknown.

Nakiri Erina looked around and was very sure that besides Lin Ye, the other old player groups had no intention of giving up and were all eyeing this piece of fat meat that was first place.

If it were her, she would also be tempted.

Eight hundred Eerie Coins—even if she didn't yet clearly know the purchasing power and uses of Eerie Coins, this thing must be hard currency here in the Eerie game.

The masked host turned and headed to the temporarily built high platform, where he would officially announce the end of the third project 'Hunting' and the final results.

And at this moment,

the sound of 'tap, tap...' footsteps rang out.

It was the players who hadn't returned before the end.

They were holding the ingredients they had found and returned.

"We, we are back."

"Time, is there still time... right!"

……

But noticing the regretful expressions of the players, a man's expression immediately dimmed.

Rushing back desperately, but it was still too late. And the two team members of the group four or five meters away from him also had their expressions change, immediately showing fearful emotions.

"It's, it's all your fault. Who told you to rest!"

"Didn't we agree we could make it in time?"

"I, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

……

Several staff members slowly closed in on the three; the masks they wore couldn't hide that malice.

The two men and one woman recalled the fate of the players who hadn't returned within the stipulated time after the second project 'Walking'.

"No, don't come over."

"Don't come over!"

……

The woman who was blaming others a moment ago screamed at this moment, turned, and ran. Following her back, the young man also immediately stepped and ran.

The man in front also immediately turned and ran away, without a hint of hesitation.

Staying here meant death. If they didn't run now, when would they run? They couldn't just stay where they were and wait for death!

'Thump, thump, thump...'

The sound of fleeing footsteps kept moving away,

and a staff member rushed over, catching up in just a few seconds with a speed far exceeding that of a human.

After a while,

the three were dragged back like dead dogs.

There was absolutely no dignity left.

Can't escape,

simply can't escape.

Those players who hadn't returned yet also simply couldn't escape.

"Take them down."

They weren't killed directly on the spot,

but these players who hadn't completed the task and brought back ingredients wouldn't have a good end.

Soon, the sounds of calls for help disappeared, leaving only the players who had cleared the stage.

'Clap, clap, clap...'

The masked host clapped his hands and said, "Very good. Congratulations to the guests present; you have successfully cleared the third project 'Hunting'. I express my most sincere congratulations to you."

No one spoke.

Toward the host's congratulations, all they felt in their hearts was calm.

"Then, next is the announcement of the results for the third project. This time, there are a total of 15 groups that passed the third project."

The third project,

eight groups didn't complete the task, including one group that had old players.

Elimination rate 34.8%.

If there are a few more rounds like this, in the end, there probably won't be many players who can survive to the end and leave here alive.

"The ranking order has been obtained through the careful calculation of our organizers."

At this moment,

an old player straightened his back, his eyes looking at Lin Ye releasing a proud glow.

No matter how good Lin Ye's results were in the previous two projects, now, the first place in this third project was his.

This was also the beginning of his reversal.

"Thank you, for giving me the chance to get eight hundred Eerie Coins."

Eight Eerie Coins were tempting, let alone eight hundred.

How could he, as an old player, not be excited and eager!

And for this opportunity, he also had to thank Lin Ye; otherwise, how would the organizers have increased the first-place prize to eight hundred Eerie Coins!

Huge profit.

First place, here I come.

"First place is Group 26."

As expected, it's Group 6, where I am!

Wait, he seemed to have heard a different group.

"Host, did you say it wrong? It should be Group 6."

This old player spoke up.

"I didn't say it wrong. The first place in the third project 'Hunting' is Group 26."

Silence.

A piece of silence.

"You... what kind of joke are you making!"

At this moment, this old player couldn't help but shout out, "This time, you don't want to say that the closer to the deadline a player returns, the higher the ranking, right! You are favoring Zero. Do you guys have some kind of shady deal!"

It was hard not to let this player have such suspicions.

But this was his thought in a state of having lost his reason.

Under normal circumstances, who didn't know the organizers were targeting Lin Ye? Just a few minutes ago, the host even denied the pink fruits Lin Ye provided.

This was to put Lin Ye to death; it was Lin Ye who predicted it in advance and made corresponding precautions and solutions.

Otherwise, Lin Ye would have long since failed the task and been taken away by the organizers' staff.

In the eyes of the other players, this old player's mentality was truly about to collapse; otherwise, how could he not think of this point and say such unreliable words.

"Guest, please watch your language."

"Where am I not watching it? Otherwise, why is Zero winning again this time? You have to give a reason, give us a reason we can accept."

"Yeah, yeah!"

"We want a reason."

The other players in Group 6 also shouted.

If they could get first, why lose it for no reason? They couldn't accept it either, even if they had a good impression of and gratitude toward Lin Ye.

But,

now it was a battle for ranking; under legitimate circumstances, they had to strive for it.

"The third project 'Hunting' does not use the order of ingredient submission as the basis for judging the ranking."
