Chapter 726

~7 min read 1,214 words

Ten seconds passed, but there was no movement.

Silence reigned, but the players' side had already revealed a victorious smile.

The players all knew that the victory in this game belonged to the players' side.

The organizers had failed.

"It seems Mr. Host has no way to deal with me or eliminate me, so, get lost..."

With a shout, Lin Ye glared, instantly making the burly masked men subconsciously take a step back.

This reaction made many of the audience members laugh.

In their eyes, the organizers' staff, who were very powerful and were such massive masked men, were actually scared back by Lin Ye's shout.

This was simply too weak; they had no dignity to match their appearance at all.

"Very good."

Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction at the reaction of the two staff members, "Since Mr. Host has nothing more to say, then it's my turn to speak."

Regardless of whether the host agreed or not, Lin Ye continued, "The judges for the fourth cooking project will be served by us players."

It was indeed to be served by players.

Compared to the organizers' staff, players were clearly more reliable.

At least there wouldn't be a situation where everyone gave zero points or targeted individuals.

As for unfair evaluation, favoring one's own or familiar teams, that was far, far better than the malice of the organizers.

"Impossible."

The masked host shouted, immediately refuting, "It is impossible to hand over all the judge spots to you."

"Oh!"

Lin Ye dragged out the sound with a smile, "So it really can be served by us players."

Finally,

the masked host had blurted out this astonishing news.

Players could serve as judges, but the masked man hadn't mentioned it at all before.

Clearly, he knew this rule and had even used it to plot for himself, to control the players' scoring rights, but unfortunately, Lin Ye had guessed it and successfully bluffed it out.

"Awesome! Brother Zero."

"Long live Brother Zero."

"If it weren't for Brother Zero, we wouldn't even know that we players could serve as judges."

"The organizers have no face left; they dare to talk about fairness and justice, they truly have no shame."

……

The players cheered for Lin Ye's performance one after another.

If it weren't for Lin Ye, they would have silently accepted that the judges were the organizers' people and paid a huge, heavy price under the organizers' deliberate low scores.

The veteran players also had to admire Lin Ye.

They might have been able to think of it, but they truly didn't have the guts to act, probe, and bet everything on a hard confrontation with the organizers.

Following the rules was one of the basic principles of the Eerie Game.

Facing the organizers, they would normally choose to obey the arrangements rather than think that the organizers themselves had problems.

But through this experience, the veteran players realized that the organizers also had problems and would deliberately hide things and set traps for players.

In future dungeons, they would have to be more cautious to avoid falling into similar mistakes.

Leng Shuang became increasingly curious about how Lin Ye discovered this,

and Nakiri Erina's curiosity about Lin Ye grew even stronger; at the same time, she was once again fortunate for her luck back then, that by some twist of fate, she had become a group member with Lin Ye again; otherwise, she feared she would have already fallen in the previous projects.

Amidst the cheers of many players, the masked host's ugly aura could be felt by all the players.

The more uncomfortable the organizers' people were, the happier the players were.

Before long,

the masked host held up three fingers.

"Three spots, you players can nominate three people to serve as judges."

Seven spots given to three?

To many players, this was already acceptable.

It was just that it wasn't a majority, and many people were uneasy.

Who knew what the passing score was this time.

"What is the passing score given by the judges for the cooking project? Below what score will a group be eliminated?"

A veteran player asked.

Although he knew Lin Ye couldn't have forgotten this key question, he asked it anyway.

Judging by the masked host's performance, he could use words to induce and fool, but he couldn't tell blatant lies; otherwise, the masked man would have long since been lying through his teeth to trick and cheat the players.

This must also be a rule of this dungeon.

Therefore, the organizers couldn't lie about the scores.

"Eight points."

Eight points was the passing score.

This would definitely require at least four judge spots!

"Groups with eight points or more will pass?"

The masked host nodded.

He sighed lightly and continued, "I'll give you four judge spots."

Four player judges,

normally, they would definitely all give two points.

This would guarantee that every group's score would at least reach the passing score, so they wouldn't have to worry about being eliminated.

Of course, there might be a possibility of a group being targeted by player judges, but if that were the case, many players felt they would just have to accept their fate.

Moreover, with players occupying four judge spots, the organizers' judges wouldn't just give zero points for everything, right!

They would always score based on actual evaluation, right!

The veteran players felt it was acceptable.

With the current allocation of spots, if any player were to be targeted, the most likely target would be Lin Ye.

The seeds of division appeared.

In the end, all players were not of one mind.

"Four spots, I think that's acceptable."

"With four spots, we can guarantee more of us pass."

"All pass? That's not necessarily true; who knows if any player will give zero points, judging people by their status? Four people isn't safe; we need six."

"Six judges all being us players? Don't dream; the host won't possibly agree."

……

Many players felt four spots were enough and there was no need to bargain, because they felt there was no possibility of successful bargaining.

And the remaining players felt they still had to try to get as many spots as possible.

The organizers were targeting them, but the players' side was also full of sinister hearts; who could guarantee that players would definitely all give two points?

No one could guarantee it.

"This is our biggest concession."

The masked host spoke.

He looked downcast, as if he had made a huge sacrifice.

The surrounding players discussed continuously, many people vaguely feeling like urging, but the central figure was still Lin Ye.

The one making the decision was still Lin Ye.

Even if the other veteran players had the heart to represent, they knew they didn't have that qualification.

The credit for making the organizers give up four judge spots belonged entirely to Lin Ye.

If it weren't for Lin Ye, they wouldn't even have one spot, let alone four.

Lin Ye's eyes were thoughtful.

He was thinking about what other traps there were.

According to the spots given by the host, although the players had risks, as long as all four players gave two points, all players reaching the passing score wouldn't be a problem. ===== CHAPTER 727 =====
