Chapter 1610 Discussion? Cooperation?
"So you're showing favoritism? Do you want to bite me?"
The strange face curled its lips in disdain and uttered a sentence that almost made Lu Li die of anger.
He then added:
"You've gotten so much information from me before, can't I at least get some interest and have some fun?"
Land from:"……"
"Then you might as well just kill me and let Golb win."
"That's no fun at all." The strange face chuckled, looking like a stubborn, unyielding dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
"And don't you want to win?"
"There's a reward if you win!"
After saying that, the strange-faced man gestured meaningfully in the direction of Golb:
"He might have what you're looking for."
Lu Li shifted his gaze, glancing at Gorbu, who was emanating a faint black mist not far away, and muttered something indistinctly:
"I don't really want it that much..."
"The countdown is still going on, don't waste time." The strange-faced man pretended not to hear Lu Li's mutterings and urged him on.
Then, regardless of any further reactions from Lu Li and the others, they simply ignored them.
Time passes slowly in silence.
The twenty chimes quickly came to an end.
Seeing that Lu Li remained silent, Gorb couldn't contain himself any longer and spoke up:
"Li Yun, I don't think you know the answer to this question for the time being. How about we discuss something?"
"What are we discussing?" Lu Li glanced at Gorbu and asked indifferently.
"Given the current situation, we don't necessarily have to fight to the death." Gorbu swallowed, forcing a stiff smile.
"Let's cooperate."
"Didn't you promise Gerargon that you could take him with you to complete this quiz game alive?"
"You must have some special method!"
"I'm fully cooperating with you now. Let's all three of us answer this question correctly."
"In this way, you won't have to worry about me answering the questions correctly and stealing your special qualities."
Lu Li did not respond.
Meanwhile, Gerargon, who had been listening in, started grumbling and cursing:
"Gorb, you fucking shameless!"
"When Lord Li Yun kindly invited you to cooperate before, you refused no matter what."
"Now that you think you're about to collapse, you're shamelessly asking for cooperation? How dare you!"
"I wanted to discuss something with Li Yun, why are you getting so worked up!" Gorbu said, his face showing displeasure.
"Do you really think that Li Yun alone can figure out the answer to this question?"
"The game's host just said that I was the one who got the preferential treatment in the last question!"
"If Li Yun knew the correct answer, would he still not have given you the order by now?"
"Wake up! He's just putting on a brave face; he's actually already at his wit's end!"
"You really think so?" Lu Li narrowed his eyes, looked at Gorbu, and gave him a half-smile.
"Of course!" Golb's facial muscles had become somewhat distorted for some unknown reason:
"If you want to live, you have to listen to my advice."
You can't live without me!
"So, can you tell me the answer to this question?" Lu Li shrugged and asked noncommittally.
"Hahaha, so you're planning to cooperate with me, right?" Gorbu's smile widened, his tone brimming with smugness.
He even glanced at Gerargon and spoke with utter audacity, mocking him:
"See? I was absolutely right, wasn't I?"
"Your master has no other choice but to cooperate with me!"
Glargon was furious, but he couldn't say anything.
He could only cast an incredulous glance at Lu Li.
The latter showed no intention of looking at him, simply repeating the previous question indifferently:
"So, can you tell me the answer to this question?"
“Of course!” Golb’s smile vanished as he replied.
"The correct answer to this question is definitely [Amplification]!"
Lu Li raised an eyebrow but did not respond immediately.
Instead, Gorb continued excitedly:
"The next steps are simple: just make Glargon issue the wrong instructions, and then we'll choose 'betrayal' instead!"
"That way, I get points and win, and you get points too, so you win too!"
"With the two of us, we can safely pass this quiz game! Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Gerargon's expression changed drastically.
He opened his mouth to speak, but Lu Li's questioning voice came first:
"Isn't this right?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to cooperate with me and that the three of us could survive and get through the game together?"
"How come it's turned into Gerargon issuing wrong instructions again, and we two have to choose 'betrayal' before we can safely pass the game?"
"Hey, do I need to explain that?" Golb waved his hand dismissively.
"My current identity is that of a divider. If I choose the 'loyalty' option, even if I answer the question correctly, my score will remain unchanged."
"If you want to score points, you definitely have to choose 'betrayal'!"
"You're the same. You're not a 'general' now, so choosing the 'betrayal' option will give you more survival points!"
Each word pierced his ears, causing the listening Grallgon to turn pale as paper and tremble like a leaf.
He seemed to have already guessed his future.
"What about Gerargon?" Lu Li asked calmly, his tone as unhurried as ever.
"You brought Glargon here precisely for this moment, didn't you?" Gorbu's face once again revealed a sinister smile:
"Could it be that you intend to choose his life over your own?"
"Hahaha, stop joking!"
Lu Li watched as Gorbu burst into exaggerated laughter, then turned his head again and cast a glance at Glargon.
Seeing that the latter was already trembling and terrified, a smile of amusement appeared on his face, and he asked:
"Glargon, would you die for me?"
“I…” Glargon opened his mouth, his expression even more unsightly than if he were crying.
If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't want to die!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Babayak who warned Li Yun and sacrificed himself for him!
Lu Li noticed Glargon's embarrassment and didn't continue.
With just a few simple words, he reassured the other person:
"Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you."
"Since Golb's answer is [Amplification], then give the correct instruction related to [Amplification]."
"Then I will choose 'loyalty' and we will complete the game together."
"Really?!" Glargon suddenly looked up, his worry and fear vanishing instantly.
"Of course." Lu Li chuckled.
"How could I possibly trust a two-faced guy like Gorbu?"
Give me instructions, and I will make a choice immediately.
