Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 111: Night Parade of a Hundred Demons (2)

Rover and the others saw this information panel, and their gazes immediately turned serious.

Nanoe said: "It seems... the difficulty of the round has escalated with the inclusion of high-rank Survivors."

Morie spoke up: "It is no longer limited to individual defense but has risen to the level of solidarity between Survivors, the Owner, and the Tenants. If we do not handle this well, I fear we will be the first sacrificial lambs."

Hearing that, Rover naturally understood what Morie meant.

By now, his reputation had likely spread throughout the apartment complex; both old and new Survivors knew of him.

Based on the rules of the game, they would certainly vote for him in order to eliminate both him and Leng Yan.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Nanoe, help me contact Leng Yan and ask what her decision is." Rover said: "Right now, she and we are in the same boat; only cooperation can help us clear this round."

"Also, look into the other rooms on this floor to see how strong they are and if we can collaborate with them."

"About that..." Nanoe spoke up at this point: "Rover, Leng Yan killed everyone on this floor and then kept the room keys for the other units. To be precise... this floor only consists of our room and Leng Yan’s."

Rover: "..."

He felt a bit of a headache, as if... the neighbors were too noisy, so I bought the neighbors’ house so the space would be quiet.

"Did she give a reason?"

"Yes!" Nanoe said: "She said the new neighbors were total trash, so she wanted to throw them away. On this floor, only she and you are enough."

Rover: "..."

Fine, she is strong, she has the right to act that way.

[Ding! You have been added to the chat room ’Block C’.]

Rover saw the notification appear and immediately knew this was a function of the System, allowing everyone in this Block to vote on which floor would serve as the ’sacrificial lamb’.

XXX: This mission requires everyone to coordinate with each other. I do not care what conflicts you have; right now, everyone must let everything go and unite to clear this round.

XXX: Exactly. I feel Floor 7 is the best place to serve as the [Destination]. After all, there are two very strong Survivors on that floor.

XXX: Two Survivors? Do you mean Leng Yan and Rover? But can they defend it? You must know that when the monsters reach the destination, they lose all patience and begin attacking the rooms.

XXX: So what? If they do not shoulder this responsibility, then who will? Me? Or you? If you want to shoulder it, I will give you one vote.

XXX: No! No! I was just joking, I feel making Floor 7 the destination is very appropriate.

XXX: I think so too. After all, at the [Destination], killing monsters grants x3 points; we are actually giving them a chance to win.

XXX: Precisely! Everyone is a Survivor, there is no need to fight one another. Striving to survive in this world is the ultimate Truth; who stands at the top does not have much meaning.

XXX: Good! I have voted for Floor 7.

Bardi: I think you all should vote for my Floor 3. I guarantee a rock-solid defense. I am a Rank 4 Survivor and have topped two rounds. As long as you do not do anything stupid, I can guarantee your safety.

XXX: You?

XXX: Really?

The people in the chat group began to feel conflicted, not knowing whether to choose Floor 3 or Floor 7.

Rover watched this scene and fell into deep thought. Although being chosen as the [Destination] floor was extremely dangerous and the failure rate was very high, it was simultaneously a massive Fortuitous Encounter.

After all, with x3 points for killing monsters, it would be very easy to soar to the first place position.

To the weak, being chosen as the [Destination] meant death, but to the strong, it was a good thing.

However, Rover was not so confident as to be foolish.

Even though he and his Tenants were very strong, he was not so arrogant as to think he could easily clear this round.

At this time, Selina and Monica had finished their baths and come out; everyone sat together and began to discuss.

Nanoe said: "That Survivor named Bardi seems very confident in his strength. To him, having the floor he lives on chosen as the [Destination] is a good thing."

"But at the same time, the other Survivors also want to eliminate us and Leng Yan. After all, they do not want Survivors with such a high threat level like you and Leng Yan to exist."

Rover nodded and said: "What do you all think if we become the [Destination]?"

Selina spoke up at this moment: "Then we just play with them. Master, I have scouted the surroundings; that pile of trash is no match for me. If you want, we can give it a try."

Morie nodded and said: "That is right. According to the news that Selina brought back, the defense towers equipped in other rooms are not as strong as ours. Very few rooms possess defense towers; those that do mostly belong to high-rank Survivors."

"That is why, even if our floor is chosen as the [Destination], it is not a cause for concern. We can try."

"Exactly." Nanoe smiled and said: "Rover, do not worry. We can win."

Rover heard this and nodded, sensing that over the past three days, Nanoe and the others had prepared very thoroughly for the next round and for various scenarios.

"Good! Then... what about choosing a [Tenant] to participate?" Rover asked.

Morie said: "We have made a careful selection. Selina will be the chosen [Tenant]."

Selina stood up, her combat suit looking like a skin-tight leather outfit similar to those in the manga [Gantz], accentuating her perfect curves.

In her hand was the [Sword of the Judicator], radiating a cold light.

Her blonde hair was neatly tied back in a ponytail, and the confident smile on her beautiful face made her look like a female knight radiating a dazzling Halo.

"Master! I... will certainly not let you down." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As she spoke, she knelt on one knee before him, her face full of pleasing intent as she lightly kissed the back of Rover’s hand.

Rover laughed and shook his head, feeling as though Selina was playing a roleplay game as a knight.

"Good! Then let us contact Leng Yan for a moment so she can prepare. If she needs any help, she can tell us."

Hearing Rover’s words, Nanoe nodded slightly, then opened her private group chat. Naturally, Leng Yan had already been added to the chat group by this time.

Being a woman herself, she naturally recognized what Leng Yan’s attitude toward Rover signified.

Rover then re-checked the information on the defense towers he possessed. Without checking, he would not have known, but upon inspection, he finally understood why everyone was so confident.

...

Rover thought for a moment and decided to upgrade these two defense towers. After all, in this round, the primary damage would come from the defense towers.

"System, upgrade both defense towers."

[Ding! You have spent 1,500 points. You have 11,795 Omni Points remaining.]

....

After finishing the upgrades, he decided to upgrade the door, having already chosen the upgrade path for it.

[Utility: Features an invisible glass window (10x10cm size), allowing those inside to see outside clearly while those outside cannot see in.]

[Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 Omni Points.]

...

This was his decision after thorough discussion with everyone. After all, while the door could be upgraded, simply increasing defense and durability was not ideal.

At the very least... the attacker should be made to suffer more pain; only then would its value be truly shown.

"Continue the upgrade." Rover ordered.

[Ding! You have spent 1,000 points. You have 10,545 Omni Points remaining.]

...

Rover was feeling satisfied with the new effect of the door when a notification panel appeared before him.

[Ding! Voting successful. Floor 7, Block C will become the [Destination] of the ’Night Parade of a Hundred Demons’ for this Block.]

[Ding! Each floor in the Block is requested to choose one ’Tenant’ to participate in defending the [Destination]. Time to decide: 1 hour.]
