Chapter 125 - 120 Vote! (4/5)_1
Jiang Jie looked at Chen Mo’s calm expression and laughed, "What are your thoughts on this?"
Chen Mo replied with a smile, "We don’t mind either way. However, if we do participate in the duel, it might be hard for us to hold back. We would probably have to fight to the death."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jie immediately chuckled and shook his head. "In that case, let’s forget about it."
"Team leader!"
As soon as Jiang Jie finished speaking, someone immediately objected.
Eliminating Chen Mo and his partner would only raise their twenty-person team’s overall rank by two places. However, the outcome would be significantly different because the positions Chen Mo and his partner occupied were crucial—the first two places. The additional points from these two ranks were huge. If they could oust Chen Mo and his partner, they would secure spots in the top twenty. No matter how many days of accumulation one had, being eliminated meant their rank would drop below everyone who hadn’t been eliminated yet. The top twenty spots would then be completely open for them to divide, and they could decide the order using a game of chance, like rock-paper-scissors or some other method based on random luck. Everyone would be ecstatic. The current decision to eliminate Chen Mo and his partner hinged on whether they could exchange the bonus points from the 21st and 22nd places for those of the 1st and 2nd places. The difference was huge!
Naturally, some couldn’t resist voicing their opposition. This was especially true since they had initially heard Jiang Jie seem willing to continue the duel, only for him to be scared off after Chen Mo mentioned a fight to the death. Some teammates were understandably resentful. How could their group of twenty be intimidated by just a few words from two people?
"Alright," Jiang Jie reminded them, "we’ve already triumphed by managing to suppress the scions of the aristocratic families and take their share. Don’t forget the original purpose for forming this team."
Upon these words, quite a few people in the team immediately fell silent.
But some remained unconvinced, arguing, "Even so, Captain, we clearly have an overwhelming advantage. Why should we back down now?"
