Chapter 72: Separate Ways

Normally speaking, only one person could ever complete the third mission.

But to make things fun, or perhaps that was the original reason from the Live Stream Horror Survival Game, there was a way for them to share the mission with others. But this would come with reduced overall rewards for everyone.

So most people wouldn’t want to complete the third mission together with others.

Instead, they would try their best to complete it on their own.

For intelligence gathering mission, they just have to share the information with other people. Either through copying or verbally sharing it, some of them could even only share half of the intelligence, making sure that the other party could never fully complete the third mission.

This was to ensure that they would still obtain the best reward.

Huo Yingsu had seen the heroine did this trick when reading the Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s novels back then.

At that time, she only felt that the heroine was truly kind hearted.

Even if it was just a copy, the overall reward that Huo Yingsu could receive in the end was still reduced by a certain percentage.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not allow the players to be so selfless.

They have to pay the price for sharing the third mission with others.

As for the killing mission...

As long as one person has the contribution above 50%, he could get all the reward by himself. The others who contributed would at most get some ’consolation prize’ as in the congratulation message from the Live Stream Horror Survival Game.

But if they could ensure that not a single person has contribution above 50%, then the reward would be distributed to everyone who contributed more than 10% to a maximum of five people.

They would get the same amount of reward.

If there were not even five people, then it would be divided equally among the few people who participated in the killing.

Of course, reaching this requirement was not that easy.

Who would be so selfless so as to give up completing the mission that was right in front of their eyes?

At the very least, Huo Yingsu would not do it.

Unless they were teaming up with someone and wanted to complete the third mission together to divide the reward.

After all, the number of people who should complete the third mission is only one.

So when Huo Yingsu heard Ye Lin’s speculation, she could only think in this direction.

Otherwise, there was truly no point for them to compete and even backstab each other so ruthlessly like this.

Wouldn’t it be good to cooperate together?

"Mhm." Han Yichen nodded and then said, "Let’s go."

"Yes."

The two of them walked carefully on the frozen ground while Huo Yingsu headed to a completely different side.

They didn’t communicate any further, but they had come to a tacit agreement that they would separate here.

There was no need for further entanglement.

...

(Huo Yingsu’s barrage)

[Ahhh, the two handsome guys are leaving. And here I thought that the three of them will finally form a team]

[Two old players and one newbie, how could it be possible for them to truly form a team? A temporary team is already good enough]

[True, true~]

[Are you not worried about those people in the slightest bit?]

[Why should I worry? It’s not like we’re watching the Live Stream Horror Survival Game to cheer on these players. Even if they were to kill each other or die a gruesome death, we’ll just switch on other players. There are many people whom we could choose to watch]

[I’m just here because Huo Yingsu is interesting]

[I’m more curious about how much Huo Yingsu actually knows]

[Same, same]

[Ehehehe]

[But her reaction speed is quite fast when dealing with that water elemental player. I almost thought that Huo Yingsu would drown and then froze to death. But she actually managed to survive.]

[That’s a close call]

[Her legs are beautiful, though...]

[Above, you pervert!]

...

(Han Yichen and Ye Lin’s barrage)

[Oh, we’re finally separated from that newbie. I thought that she would follow the two of them shamelessly like those people in the previous world]

[At that time everyone are all newbies, but Han Yichen is really amazing to have awakened his abilities before even completing three worlds]

[Tsk, he’s just lucky]

[Hahaha! Above, you’re jealous, aren’t you?]

[It’s indeed not easy for Han Yichen and the others to separate from them. On the other hand, this woman is very sensible and didn’t even try to flatter them or latch onto their thigh.]

[She’s quite mysterious... hmm, let me mark her room for the time being]

[Are you interested now, huh?]

[Why not? It’s rare to see someone who could cooperate so tacitly with these two people aside from those few who come from the same world as him]

[Right, right]

...

The barrage of the two groups were noisy with different matters but neither complained about the players’ decision to go their separate ways.

After all, their missions were different and it was not cost effective to stay together.

"Why do you want to team up with her in the first place?" Ye Lin suddenly asked, his smiling and playful expression was gone as he swung his umbrella up and down to ease the frost that stuck on the edges.

The elemental manipulation ability was quite troublesome.

And to be able to condense frost...

It meant that the players who targeted the king this time would not be ordinary. As expected, becoming an old player would really put them in disadvantage.

"She’s good enough," Han Yichen replied.

He was evaluating Huo Yingsu thorough the way of their interaction with each other and naturally noticed many things that Ye Lin couldn’t notice.

"Huh? She’s just a newbie..." Ye Lin frowned and then looked at Han Yichen solemnly. "You can’t be serious, are you?"

Han Yichen just glanced at Ye Lin and said nothing else, making Ye Lin wanted to yell.
