Chapter 168: Chen Ran Seems to Be Dying Again
At present, Zhang Meili had told a lie, but the other six had promised not to Judge her.
The only ones left who could Judge her were Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong, yet these two were frozen in place by her Death Gaze, not daring to make any careless movements.
Cao Xiu had also lied, but he bypassed the consequences of his lie using his Reset to Zero.
Just by looking at these two, one could see just how absurd the Skills of players bottlenecked at a Star Rating could be.
The difficulty of this Instance was not considered high. However, the players involved—whether Three-Star, Two-Star, or One-Star Players—were all top-tier existences within their respective ranks. Together, they formed a luxurious lineup for Infighting. While they might have harbored numerous objectives previously, at this very moment, only one remained: survival.
Chen Ran was the one who orchestrated this Instance. His intentions were self-evident: to break free from being hunted by multiple Three-Star Players, forcibly minimizing the number of Three-Star Players he might encounter. Simultaneously, he aimed to kill every other player except Qiu Yinong, thereby influencing the grand chess match within the 18th Level.
Peace sought through struggle will survive; peace sought through compromise will perish.
This was Chen Ran's line of thought.
For Zhang Meili and Cao Xiu, both had told lies. The moment Chen Ran unleashed Eternal Kingdom, the two of them would undoubtedly die. Therefore, if they wanted to survive, they had to kill Chen Ran.
