Chapter 381 Aren't you anxious?
As Fu Wanhao disappeared, Mi Su's expression turned grim.
Because all the butterflies carrying the sleeping potion had now lost contact.
What should we do?
The eldest brother went first, and we still can't get in touch with him.
Are they going to go or not?
Misu was stunned!
……
The moment the butterflies approached the camp, the suspended water droplets around the camp suddenly accelerated their rotation, then coalesced, enveloping all the paper butterflies in water spheres.
The pale blue powder collided with the water curtain and was instantly absorbed, dissolved, and neutralized.
The butterflies, unable to fly any longer, crashed one by one onto the outskirts of the camp along with the water balloons.
The operation ended before it even began.
Meanwhile, Fu Wanhao's operation had just begun, and he was still completely unaware of the situation, believing that victory was assured.
"What's going on?" Blade finally couldn't help but ask, looking at Misu who was lagging behind.
"The butterfly effect failed; they must have been prepared!" Misu's face twitched.
"It failed? Then let's launch a full-scale attack! Anyway, we don't need to worry about Xu Si coming back to cause trouble for at least an hour!"
Yang Shu was terrified of Xu Si, but he didn't care much for the other members of the Xin Huoche team.
Those people are either a group of children or minors, and they can be easily manipulated.
This was the first time Blade had encountered such a situation.
Knowing there was an ambush, yet still falling into it?
But if we turn around and leave, wouldn't that mean our team leader has given them away for nothing?
Fu Wanhao stood in the void of the chessboard, waiting for Xu Si's choice.
He wasn't in a hurry, nor did he rush him.
Xu Si frowned deeply.
Should we apply specific characteristics?
I'm not sure if my debuff is effective.
The strange corrosiveness and mental stability that had been troubling Xu Si for the past two days were things he tried to test, but they couldn't be used as a gamble.
Therefore, this is not a so-called loophole in the rules.
Xu Si tried other things, but none of them worked.
It seems that only those selected by the [Chessboard] can have their characteristics used as bargaining chips.
In the end, Xu Si bet on the useless 'Seiya'.
[Both sides have placed their bets and can now decide when the battle begins!]
【00:57:48】
【00:57:47】
……
Is this preparation time?
Or what?
Xu Si looked at Fu Wanhao, who stood motionless on the chessboard, with amusement. He didn't believe that this guy had any way to win.
"Aren't you coming down?" Xu Si asked.
"Why should I go down?" Fu Wanhao said matter-of-factly.
This time, Xu Si was dumbfounded. Why did you drag me into this if you're not going to fight?
"Don't worry, you'll be in here for at least an hour anyway!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you'll have to come down when it's time!"
This guy really knows how to trap himself.
"Yeah, but I'll just admit defeat then!"
Fu Wanhao's original goal was just to trap Xu Si, but losing two of his special characteristics for no reason made him feel the pinch.
"You don't think you can get away, do you?"
In the chessboard space, if Fu Wanhao doesn't fight him, then Xu Si's various methods will be useless.
However, once the chessboard is removed, Xu Si can do whatever he wants.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Since Fu Wanhao dared to come, he must have prepared an escape plan.
Xu Si guessed that it was most likely an escape-related artifact.
It seems this old guy has foreseen everything.
Xu Si was truly at a loss for what to do.
Although he would gain Fu Wanhao's traits once the waiting time ended, he couldn't say he was at a disadvantage.
But this feeling of being betrayed is really unpleasant.
Seeing that Fu Wanhao was determined not to come down, Xu Si ignored him and started wandering around the chessboard space.
It's described as a "chessboard," but it's more like a "chess arena."
It was nearly a hundred meters long and wide, and its height was unknown, but Fu Wanhao seemed to be in a different space from himself.
In other words, Xu Si appears to be in the ring, while Fu Wanhao is in the lounge.
Therefore, Xu Si's several attempts to attack all ended in failure.
He also failed to find the so-called rule loopholes mentioned by the system.
"Young man, don't waste your energy. You'd be better off spending this time chatting with this old man!" Fu Wanhao spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the empty void.
Xu Si ignored him and tried various methods, but in the end he could only helplessly accept reality.
Loopholes in the rules are not something that can be easily found.
The system only provides two mandatory rules: betting rules and win/loss rules.
What loopholes could be found in these two rules?
Seeing Fu Wanhao sitting calmly in the void, Xu Si had no choice but to watch.
Perhaps Fu Wanhao has already taken advantage of the so-called loopholes in the rules.
"Young people are quite composed."
He paused, then looked Xu Si up and down.
"Actually, I quite admire you. At such a young age, a Sequence 5 might very well reach that level in the future."
"Which step?"
Fu Wanhao did not answer directly, but spoke slowly.
"Before the apocalypse, I was the president of Marriott International, controlling enough wealth for an ordinary person to squander for ten lifetimes. But do you know what my biggest realization was after the apocalypse?"
Xu Si remained silent.
"Strength." Fu Wanhao said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Wealth, power, and connections can solve 99% of problems before the apocalypse. But after the apocalypse, all of these will be worthless."
"Only strength is the passport to survival in the apocalypse."
He paused, his gaze falling on Xu Si, a complex look flashing deep in his eyes.
"You're so young, you haven't experienced the pleasures of a woman yet, have you? If you join our team, I'll let Ruoxue follow you, how about that?" Fu Wanhao seemed to be trying to win her over one last time.
He really valued Xu Si's strength, but unfortunately, a Sequence 5 was not someone he could easily handle.
"As long as you join our team, I can make sure you have absolute power. Have you ever experienced the feeling of being second only to one person and above thousands of others? Once you have, you will absolutely love that feeling!" Fu Wanhao's eyes were filled with a hint of greed.
Xu Si believed he was telling the truth.
"You want to recruit me? The price is beyond your reach!" Xu Si raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Oh?" Fu Wanhao became interested.
If he could recruit Xu Si, then even if he gained nothing from this trip, it would still be a pure profit.
"Resources? Intelligence? Medicine? Women? Tell me what you want?" Fu Wanhao even stood up a little straighter in excitement.
"If you agree, I can also hand over this rare item ranked 21st to you for your disposal." Fu Wanhao was really going all out.
"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll play games with you and trick you into giving me this rare item?"
"What's there to be afraid of? We'll be family then!"
As he spoke, Fu Wanhao casually took out a contract, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Xu Si also had one of these, so he was naturally familiar with it.
"You really came prepared."
Fu Wanhao smiled, a shrewdness typical of businessmen appearing on his kind face.
"In the apocalypse, how can you survive without being prepared?"
He paused for a moment and then continued.
"Sign it, and you'll be the second-in-command of the Marriott racing team. As for Ruoxue, I'll have her work for you. And this chessboard will also be yours to command. What do you say?"
"If I told you we already knew about your plan last night, would you be worried?" Xu Si naturally wouldn't sign any of that bullshit contract.
