Chapter 359: Gold mining secret! The current situation that must be cooperated!

~8 min read 1,447 words

Su Yang rubbed his stomach and said, "Not much, just know that there are players in the East City Qinglong Association and the wharf."

"It seems your intelligence system needs to be strengthened." Huang Hua looked at Lin Yang, who had two red flushes on his face, and continued:

"The Liuhe Association is in the South City, the Floating Life Business Association is in the West City, and the Qinglong Association and Wharf Gang are in the East City, totaling eight players."

"The remaining two are in the North City District."

"As far as I know, the North City is calm on the surface, but in reality, they have already started acting."

"The reason why Jinshan City is named 'Gold Mountain' is that many years ago, this was a gold mining place for countless people."

"Legend has it that there is a huge treasure hidden in Jinshan City; once discovered, it will possess endless terrifying wealth."

"The North City District is the gold mining hub, and gold mines might be hidden under those mountains."

"Half of the people in the North City are miners, working ten hours a day, and their wages are no less than those sitting in offices."

"And these two players have already gone deep into mining enterprises and served as senior executives."

Su Yang asked curiously, "Didn't use any means? Born to be an executive?"

"Of course not; the means they used were more cruel than you and I imagined," Huang Hua shook his head,

"On the first day of the game, which was two days ago, a huge mining disaster occurred in Fuyun Mountain, the largest in the North City District, with over twenty deaths."

"Two of the mining executives were buried in the mining disaster, and their bodies haven't been found to this day."

Su Yang was shocked in his heart, "Such big news, the newspaper didn't publish it?"

Huang Hua raised his chin slightly and said deeply, "Guess... who is the behind-the-scenes controller of the mining enterprise?"

"Warlords?"

"For such things as gold mining, as the actual controller of Jinshan City, would he hand it over?" Huang Hua asked in return.

So that was it...

No wonder the newspaper didn't publish the mining disaster.

It turned out that there was a big hand erasing the traces.

Even the news industry had to be controlled by warlords.

Any unfavorable news could not be spread.

Especially the mining industry, which is the foundation of Jinshan City and also the largest source of profit.

The reason why the warlords chose to station in this city was aiming at that 'Gold Mountain' underneath!

"In this way, all ten players are gathered," Lin Yang said.

"Compared to the starting point, those two in the North City District are the highest," a sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

Backed by warlords, who can compare?

"But if the starting point is high, the possibility of winning is small. The only way they can win is to kill the warlord boss and replace him," Huang Hua said.

Indeed, this is the only way out.

The warlord boss has countless guards around him, and they are all the most loyal people.

It is rumored that the residence he lives in, not even a fly can fly in within a radius of two kilometers.

There is a sentry post every hundred meters, and they are all soldiers holding heavy firepower.

Although these two players possess talents, even getting close is a difficult matter.

It's just that...

Su Yang has to speed up. With their means, one day they might really gain the warlord boss's trust.

In this way, all players below will become fish on the chopping block.

"Cooperation is the general trend. The player from the Wharf Gang has already contacted the player from the Qinglong Association, and they are plotting to take the Qinglong Association as their own," Huang Hua threw out another heavy bomb.

Su Yang frowned, realizing the severity of the situation.

Didn't expect these guys to be in high positions, holding power and wealth, yet not indulging in pleasure.

Instead, they were secretly exerting force just like him.

This struggle is destined to have a very fast rhythm.

Being a little slow will be left far behind.

If the opportunity is snatched, there will be no strength to catch up.

"The current primary task is to help me ascend to the official President. I will spare no effort to help you take down the entire South City."

"And you, you must help me take down the entire West City!" Huang Hua said.

The East City faces the sea; the richness naturally doesn't need to be mentioned.

The West City and South City combined have the possibility of confrontation.

And the North City is even more simple and rude; the warlords control the location, and the power is immense.

"The four of us must be united against the enemy. It concerns the prison ranking; no one is allowed to hide anything," Su Yang said sternly.

Yin Yun and he are in the same dormitory, Lin Yang and Huang Hua are in the same dormitory.

The team formation is staggered, but the interests are common.

Huang Hua doesn't want Lin Yang to lose; similarly, Su Yang doesn't want Yin Yun to fail.

Therefore, facing the current pressure, they must cooperate and can only cooperate.

"There is another question..." Yin Yun suddenly spoke, her beautiful brows squeezed into a ball,

"The game gave us one year, but there are only a few days left until the prison settlement day. How should it be calculated after the game ends?"

Her worry is also the problem Lin Yang said before.

If all players' game duration is one year, then Su Yang naturally doesn't need to worry about his first throne being taken away.

But the problem is whether they are being set up?

If other players were to finish a Death Game in the usual three days, the rankings would certainly change.

By then, Su Yang and the others' game would not yet be over, and they would be unable to obtain points, so their rankings would surely plummet.

By the time they finished and returned, the place might be deserted, with the first-place player having already seized the wish qualification and taken away the 'Ascend God' status along with it.

"I've also thought about this question; could it be that the rules went wrong?" Lin Yang voiced his guess.

It wasn't as if they hadn't seen rules go wrong before.

The fourth Death Game was precisely because the rules were disrupted, leading all players to gather in one place.

"Are you saying... the rules got the time wrong?" Yin Yun asked.

"The possibility is low; the game is unfair, but the prison is absolutely fair." Su Yang shook his head in denial.

"That's right, once fairness is lost, playing the game will also lose its meaning." Huang Hua nodded.

"Then where does the problem lie?" Lin Yang was suddenly confused.

After the few of them pondered for a long time, Su Yang spoke up: "Could it be that 'execution' that happened early?"

"What do you mean?" The three of them looked up.

"A player used their own suicide as a prerequisite to activate the talent 'Termination', advancing the 'execution' phase."

"It is precisely because of this act that the order of the rules was disrupted, causing the rounds of the Death Game to also be advanced," Su Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately grasped the key point of the problem: "The eighth Death Game was advanced to become the seventh?"

"It could also be the ninth, or even the tenth," Su Yang said slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Their first reaction was to feel that it was absurd.

But upon careful thought, it felt reasonable.

After all, in the many Death Games they had played, not once had one exceeded seven days.

And Su Yang basically solved them in three days.

Now that a game with a duration of one year had suddenly appeared, it clearly defied common sense.

"In that case, other players are also affected?" Huang Hua asked.

"The possibility is high; they are also trapped in the Death Game with the domination theme, and the duration will only be longer, not shorter," Su Yang nodded slightly.

"Then after we get out..." A terrifying thought sprouted in Yin Yun's mind.

"That's right!" Su Yang nodded solemnly:

"The time has already run out."

"The seventh Death Game is the final stage of the Heaven Pit; once we get out, the settlement begins immediately!"
