Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Fortunately, the public chat channel was open, so they could probe other players through the channel.

Sandwich Sugar: “Boss Ke? Is that really you, Boss Ke? I’m a fan of yours!”

But Su Yu was busy surveying the entire map at that moment and did not respond to him.

Several seconds later…

Denial of Clothes: “Well, looks like Boss Ke is pretty aloof… Let’s get down to business. I’ll disclose my role first. My card is ‘Loyalist’.”

System prompt: “Player [Denial of Clothes] has revealed his role. His role card is confirmed as ‘Loyalist’.”

Denial of Clothes didn’t do this without careful consideration.

By revealing his role, he could quickly join forces with his lord to fight others, so they could distinguish friends from foes instead of being in the “dark forest” with everyone turning against each other.

If he didn’t reveal his identity, once they confronted the lord in the wild, it would be really hilarious for the rebel players.

Sandwich Sugar quickly realized this point.

He also immediately declared his role: “I am the ‘Lord’, the genuine ‘Lord’.”

System prompt: “Player [Sandwich Sugar] has revealed his identity. His role card is confirmed as ‘Lord’.”

Denial of Clothes: “Oh my gosh, why isn’t Boss Ke the ‘Lord’?… I was hoping to hold onto his coattails!”

Sandwich Sugar: “Well, it seems that you have no chance now, but anyway, we are comrades now. Share your coordinates; I’ll come to you.”

Denial of Clothes: “Okay, [316,242].”

Sandwich Sugar: “I’m very close. I’ll be there in a minute.”

…

Seeing the lord and the loyalist openly chit-chatting, the two rebel players couldn’t just sit there and do nothing. (They knew what the two Chinese players were discussing, thanks to the built-in translation tool of the system).

충성!성!: “My role is a ‘Rebel’. Is there any other player with the same role? (Korean)”

System prompt: “Player [충성!성!] has revealed his identity. His role card is confirmed as ‘Rebel’.”

Alex: “I’m also a rebel, just like you. Share your coordinates. We also need to meet as soon as possible. (English)”

System prompt: “Player [Alex] has revealed his identity. His role card is confirmed as ‘Rebel’.”

충성!성!: “[947,833].”

Sandwich Sugar: “Well, it seems like Boss Ke must be the ‘Traitor’. Good thing he’s not a rebel.”

Denial of Clothes: “Well, there are pros and cons. The ‘pro’ is that Boss Ke is not our enemy. The ‘con’ is that he could easily balance the game as a traitor, we might get toyed with by Boss Ke!”

Alex: “Nemesis, I’m also a fan of yours. I’ve watched your video to Skru Star 11 times, and I watch your live stream every day at 8 am precisely.”

Sandwich Sugar: “Isn’t it 8 pm?”

Denial of Clothes: “Maybe there’s a time difference.”

Alex: “But, as your fan, I won’t show mercy to my idol. I will do my best to defeat you!”

Alex: “Guys, Nemesis is the traitor. It won’t harm us to drive him out. Let’s unite, drive Nemesis out first, and then let’s decide the victory!”

충성!성!: “Agree.”

Sandwich Sugar: “That sounds good. Also, if we kick out Boss Ke first, even if we finally lose the game, we can boast about it to others!”

Denial of Clothes: “I think so too. So Boss Ke, we’ll be straightforward!”

…

While Su Yu was on the way to capture the gold mine with his team, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips as he read the conversation in the public channel.

The situation seemed a bit unfavorable as the four of them had already formed a united front.

So, Su Yu said in the channel: “Are you guys misunderstanding something? Can’t you four just meet somewhere and have a battle now to decide the outcome? Why do you need me?”

At the same time, Su Yu continued: “Alex and brother Chung-seong! Have you seen this guy ‘Sandwich Sugar’? You just need to kill him to win this game. Why bother spending time and effort looking for me?”

Su Yu: “Denial of Clothes, Sandwich Sugar, kicking me out will be disadvantageous for you! The two rebel players on the other side need to concentrate fire on your lord to win, while you guys have to eliminate two rebel teams to win. You’ll only put yourselves at a disadvantage if you move like this. Are you using your brains?”

Sandwich Sugar, Denial of Clothes: “…”

Boss Ke made sense. If they drove Boss Ke out, the game rules would indeed work against them.

But if they didn’t drive Boss Ke out, should they let this big boss grow strong?

It was a tough decision for Sandwich Sugar and Denial of Clothes.

Alex: “Nemesis, you’re anxious, which means you’re scared! Everyone, since Nemesis is scared, it means our strategy is working! I suggest we should stick to the plan and drive Nemesis out first.”

Su Yu: “I don’t care. If you think you can win, then come at me together. Just don’t regret it.”

…

Next, the five of them had some more verbal fights.

After repeatedly thinking, Sandwich Sugar and Denial of Clothes eventually reached a consensus: the terror of Su Yu far outweighed the tactical disadvantage after driving Su Yu out.

Finally, Alex and the other three players formed an alliance, intending to oust Su Yu before deciding the winner.

As for Su Yu, he was not afraid of them and carried out his plan in an orderly manner.

…

The five separate teams occupied five gold mines at the agreed time.

Once the occupation was successful, there appeared “Gold production rate: 25/sec” on Su Yu’s panel, with each gold mine having a production capacity of 5.

The locations of the five gold mines chosen by Su Yu were tricky, and Sandwich Sugar and the three others would have a hard time finding them, which was enough for him to accumulate a considerable amount of resources.

As for the remaining gold mines, Su Yu also sent dozens of light cavalry to capture them. If a gold mine was already occupied by the enemy, they would retreat. If not, they would mine as much as they could.

As for Su Yu, while arguing with the four players in the channel, he alone went to one of the [Mercenary Camps].

It was a camp covered in pure white snow, named [Icy Camp].

There was a mercenary hut in the camp. When Su Yu entered the hut, he saw an NPC, an old man with a white goatee and thick leather coat.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the old man put down his tobacco-pouch he was holding, and said with a smile, “Adventurer, what can I do for you?”

“I’ve got a lot of gold and want to hire some mercenaries here,” Su Yu replied respectfully.

“Alright.” The old man stood up, stretching his back and legs, which were stiff from sitting for a long time, “Young man, you have good taste! Our ‘Icy Camp’ mercenary has been tested by polar frost, and our mercenaries are the most robust among the four camps! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied!”

After the old man finished speaking, a virtual exchange list opened in front of Su Yu.

Looking at the names and prices of the high-ranking troops on the list, Su Yu squinted slightly.
