NOVEL NEXT Chapter 242: Simulation: All Things Transform into the Dao
"If you weren't injured, you probably wouldn't be showing us your sincerity," he said.
A plain statement, yet it startled Li Ziming greatly.
He believed he had disguised himself extremely well.
How did the other party discover it?
Su Jie didn't hide it: "My spiritual cultivation is somewhat special, so I can sense your condition, especially when you're weak," he said.
Cold sweat appeared on Li Ziming's forehead.
Indeed, he was very weak now. The silver-white energy flowing around him was merely a bluff. If it really came to a fight, he would do well just to exert the strength of a life force of 6.
If it were an ordinary map, he wouldn't be troubled by this, as there would be no shortage of medicine no matter what.
But on this "Modern City" map, medicine was scarce, available only in drugstores, hospitals, and health clinics.
And these places were all "Strategic Places of Vital Importance."
He hadn't gone there at first, but instead searched for martial arts skills with his teammates, looked for weapons, and then hunted down those players coming from drugstores and hospitals.
After a fierce battle, although they won, they used up all their medicine to treat the injuries after the fight.
It can be said that medicine is the scarcest resource on this map.
Otherwise, why would he be humbling himself now?
"Would you consider it?" he pleaded.
Li Ziming genuinely did not want to face off against Su Jie.
"You have a grudge against Jiang Wudao. If I recover, I can help you restrain his two teammates so you can have a one-on-one with him. Otherwise, of your three teammates, apart from that girl acting as a human satellite in the sky, who might be a bit difficult to handle, the other two would be killed in an instant," he said.
"As a student of Ming Lun, as your senior, I would never resort to petty tactics in the shadows," he assured.
"Ming Lun students, whether in reality or in the game, value their promises above all," he continued.
This was indeed true.
If there were any among the Ming Lun students who didn't take their promises seriously, they would certainly be punished, and those with severe violations could even be expelled from Ming Lun, barring special circumstances.
Jos said, "Su Jie, I think we should keep him. If we win the championship in the end, I can give him the energy creature that would be allocated to me."
"Jos, you..."
Jos raised his hand to interrupt Su Jie and said, "Don't try to convince me, I'm aware of my own situation. My family has a small business, but it's not as big as Zhang Manman's or Chen Tian Yuzi's. Allocating an energy creature to me would be a waste. It's better to give it to this senior."
Li Ziming looked at Jos with new respect, finding the African American to be quite self-aware.
The value of an energy creature was not something ordinary money could buy.
Ming Lun had strict rules, but those blinded by greed were many, and there would always be people harboring the hope of getting lucky and taking risks.
This chapter is part of the collection on MV2LEMP2YR.
"Don't worry, if you have any issues with your cultivation in the future, you can ask me anytime. We can exchange phone numbers, or even QQ numbers," Li Ziming said, thinking the matter was settled, and his face relaxed immediately.
Su Jie remained silent for a moment before asking, "Can you really take on two people with a life force of 10 at the same time?"
"Of course," he chuckled.
Li Ziming gave a hey-hey laugh: "That is, if you give me medicine to restore me to my peak condition."
As long as he could recover, he was confident that he could hold off two individuals with a life force of 10.
"One last question," Su Jie said, his expression serious.
"Why choose to ally with us?" he asked.
"It's simple, I can't beat you," Li Ziming was also very straightforward, "and besides, the fact that you defeated the three Feng brothers in a row on the stage is enough to prove your potential and strength."
Feng Yuxuan, Feng Qianzang, and Feng Hengyi, the three brothers, had not shown their true strength on the stage that afternoon due to suppression.
But since the Angel's Wings ended up with Su Jie's team, it was clear that he was no less formidable than the Feng family in their heyday.
Being on good terms with such a person was all gain and no loss.
"Now, can you give me the medicine to heal?" Li Ziming grinned.
"Here you go,"
Su Jie gave Li Ziming the medicine they had obtained from eliminated players.
After taking it, Li Ziming's injuries immediately began to heal, and the life force aura of 10 applied some pressure on the three people present, yet he kept his promise and did not break his word over it.
"What's with that look?"
Seeing Su Jie and the others with a wary look, Li Ziming was somewhat displeased and, with a thumb gesture towards his mouth, gave a mischievously charming smile: "You can inquire about me, I'm the honest young master!"
Su Jie said flatly, "Sorry, it was just an instinctive reaction."
After checking the map, he saw that there were only eight people left.
That meant their opponents were most likely just Jiang Wudao and his people.
"Class leader, there are only three enemies left, and it's Jiang Wudao and his people. They are over six hundred meters to your east, heading in your direction. It looks like they're planning to wipe you out in one fell swoop," Chen Tian Yuzi, positioned high in the sky, urgently reported their location.
"Is that so?"
Su Jie pondered for a moment, then decided to wait right where they were.
After all, due to Wang Chen's meddling, the final circle had turned into a wasteland with nowhere to hide. It would be better to confront the opponent openly and straightforwardly.
Moreover, stealth attacks were of little use against beings with a life force of 10.
Not to mention that Jiang Wudao surely possessed some unique treasures.
Therefore, they might as well fight with their backs against the wall.
"Yuzi, continue to keep watch from the sky and wait for my command," Su Jie instructed, then turned to Li Ziming, saying: "Senior, it's time for you to make a move."
