Chapter 912: Verbal Duel with the Crowd! One Call, One Response!?

~6 min read 1,161 words

Member Bai Zhou's proposal time has ended, now entering Free Discussion Session, time limit 30 minutes.

Silence, a falling needle can be heard.

Compared with the previous several times when members were impatient in questioning.

This time it appears especially strange.

The present players' eyes flickered, they remained silent.

Obviously, this proposal brought them a considerable change.

And the impact is not only that it refreshed Cognition.

There is also a shock to the spirit.

What is Midway Join?

As the name suggests, an Ascend God Seed that can obtain a rare Hidden Achievement.

It will be able to enter any Dependents' unfinished match.

On the surface this looks like a Rescue.

It is also a form of assistance and cooperation.

But a discerning person can see it.

Doing this offers the Ascend God Seed no benefit at all.

It cannot participate in the Death Game's settlement rewards.

After the time limit passes, they must be punished together.

Moreover, death in the game is real death.

Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own is one thing.

But this proposal shows no appealing aspect.

Is it that, just to Disassemble Fire, one would rashly rush into a completely unfamiliar game whose pace is already at a boiling point?

The risk far exceeds the reward.

At this moment, the seldom speaking Xingchen asked: "Why is the condition a rare Hidden Achievement?"

Lin Yang had long anticipated this, explaining: "Every proposal must have rationality; blindly lowering the Threshold will only make the game chaotic."

Xingchen, following up, asked again: "If this rule were truly established, would the Death Game not become chaotic?"

Lin Yang, seeing him so aggressive, felt slightly annoyed.

He finally understood the feeling of having a viewpoint questioned.

Fuck, no wonder Su Yang made me listen more and speak less; apparently it was to let me experience the feeling of being verbally and in writing attacked.

Before this, he was just watching the drama.

Watching Shan Yue and Shu Ye being silenced by Su Yang's scolding.

Now it's my turn, this feeling is really fucking unpleasant.

A place that only moves lips and logic does require some consideration of on‑the‑spot reaction.

Fortunately, before arriving, Su Yang had already informed us of answers to possible problems.

Thus, Lin Yang only briefly searched his Brain, then produced a response, "Only Top Players are limited to possessing this privilege."

Moreover, Midway Join itself is also an adventure.

If you're scared, you can completely choose not to go.

Furthermore, its purpose is to help Dependents clear the game smoothly; overall it does not infringe upon the interests of most people.

Brother, you seem to strongly reject this playstyle, could it be…

You worry about not getting a chance, or perhaps—encountering an enemy player's Midway Join in the game?

The first half is Su Yang's redundant statement.

The latter half is entirely added by Lin Yang alone.

Yet these words did not make Xingchen jump in agitation.

He said lightly: "I've only seen such a low‑level Provocation Technique during kindergarten kids' quarrels."

"If you want to force people to vote this way, I advise you to give up that thought."

"Midway Join contradicts the fairness of the Death Game."

"I'll leave the words here—"

"You won't get my vote!"

Lin Yang neither felt angry nor panicked.

He knew it could not satisfy everyone.

After all, fairness is one aspect.

The other aspect is risk.

Indeed, each present person is a factor; if you encounter an enemy player's external aid in the game.

That is not a good thing.

Similarly, Ascend God Seeds do not enjoy such special treatment.

They mostly serve as Tool Persons, serving Dependents.

Therefore, this labor‑intensive, unrewarding playstyle cannot gain support from absolutely selfish players.

Rabbit turned his head and asked: "Why not set corresponding rewards?"

Lin Yang explained: "It still upholds the principle of fairness."

"If rewards were set, it would be unfair to other Ascend God Seeds that have the chance but cannot choose Midway Join."

Rabbit's brow visibly furrowed, "By your logic, it seems to have no use except Rescue."

Lin Yang spread both hands, "Saving a life outweighs building a Seven-tier Stupa; doesn't that just spare us Resurrection?"

"Moreover, after Midway Join you can immediately obtain first‑hand Intelligence from Dependents inside the game about the New and Old Era."

"Isn't this also an opportunity for a Replay Proposal?"

At that, Su Yang instantly lifted his Brow and gave an approving glance.

He had never instructed those words.

After all, he could not foresee the members' Proposal in the meeting.

Clearly, Lin Yang was improvising the Organization's rhetoric on the spot.

One must admit his reaction was swift, precisely pinpointing the members' pain points despite the obvious lost cause.

"Good kid…" Su Yang thought silently.

Sure enough, Lin Yang's words directly made the gazes of 'Mountain' and 'Leaf' much clearer.

Isn't this also a form of Curve Rescue?

Su Yang saw no one ask a question, and fell back into silence for a moment.

He instantly realized…

It was time for him to step onto the stage himself.

He then asked, "The risks and drawbacks are clear, so may I ask if an Ascend God Seed, after Midway Join, helps Dependents obtain a rare Hidden Achievement…"

"How should Rankings be calculated?"

"If, after providing help, the total Faith Value obtained by Dependents exceeds that of the Ascend God Seed, how should it be calculated?"

"I'm rather selfish and don't want to see the Farmer and Snake story play out on me."

"Also, before Midway Join, how would I know which Dependents need help?"

"If I choose arbitrarily and then find it's near the end after entering, wouldn't that waste a chance?"

Lin Yang looked over, saying calmly, "We certainly can't let the altruistic Ascend God Seed feel disheartened."

"I will add non‑oversteppable rules in the Proposal Details."

"Any Dependents who have received help, if their total Contribution Value over the next three Death Games exceeds that of their direct superior, may not replace them."

"As for your second question…"

Lin Yang paused briefly, feigning contemplation.

After a moment he said, "We can give Dependents a Summon God opportunity."

"When they urgently need aid, a single shout of 'Summon God' can precisely request help from outside the game."

"An Ascend God Seed, when faced with multiple help messages, can decide on its own which Death Game to go to."

Oh?!

Such a novel mode was still the first time anyone had encountered it.

Rather than wishful thinking, they indeed wanted to see who needed the help more.

And 'Daylight' also mentioned it.

Helped Dependents may not replace the Ascend God Seed's position within three times.

That is indeed a decent preventative model.

At least they won't lose their wife and also waste troops.

At this point, 'Rhinoceros' asked, "What if I have one chance but receive no help?"

"Can the chance be stored for use next time?"
