91: Chapter 91 People Always Like to Compromise (3rd Update Coming)

"What?!"

The three people surrounded by the summoned creatures were instantly shocked.

A Shi: I was just using my teammates as human shields, and now I'm going to heaven?

Lizi: I was used as a human shield and didn't die from the explosion, and now I'm going to heaven again?

Brother Tian: I just broke up a fight, why am I going to heaven too?

Cheng Zhen didn't care what they thought; he raised his hand to give an order to the Fat Buddha: "Move—"

"Wait!!!"

A Shi panicked: "Robinson, don't joke around. Just because we're arguing, you're going to attack us? What good would it do you to kill us here?"

"Good? Hmph, not having dead weight is good for me!"

Cheng Zhen snorted: "To tell you the truth, I'm here for a special ending."

Then he revealed his purple title, instantly dazzling the eyes of several people—

"I hid it earlier because I was worried there might be some tough nuts among you, but now it seems I overthought it!"

Cheng Zhen continued sinisterly: "Originally, I didn't want to do this, because some dungeon upgrade conditions are related to the number of teammates. At first, seeing you obedient and well-behaved, I didn't plan to lay a hand on you."

"But now, your actions will hinder me."

"Since that's the case, I'll have to make you behave!"

After hearing Cheng Zhen's words, the three were utterly flustered.

Because we're not united, you're going to beat us half to death to create unity?

Indeed, now all three were afraid of getting beaten, and this feeling was incredibly united.

Cheng Zhen looked at the three silent people and was satisfied.

Sure enough, this kind of one-man rule feels great.

"Brother Robinson..." Brother Tian said with a dry laugh: "It's just a little dispute, there's no need for this, right?"

"Because you don't understand how good the rewards for a special ending are, you can't understand me." Cheng Zhen shook his head, still looking like he really wanted to act.

Brother Tian could only say: "Then since that's the case, wouldn't it be better for us to help you clear the special ending? Teamwork is always easier to clear, right?"

People always like to compromise. When you want to open a window, some people will oppose you; but when you want to tear off the roof, those people will agree to let you open a window.

After a long while of struggling, the three realized the importance of teamwork when facing high external danger.

Cheng Zhen 'tsk'ed: "That makes sense, but I still feel like I'd be exhausted leading you through a special ending."

As soon as he said this, the three immediately became nervous, fearing that Cheng Zhen would break their legs in the next second.

"How about this, pay 50 points, and I can let you get a special ending clear, and you'll most likely get a blue title."

Cheng Zhen's elaborate plan was finally laid out.

Brother Tian and Lizi were stunned at first, then their eyes lit up.

Blue title?!

Is it real or fake?!

The two were clearly tempted.

Only A Shi reacted first, resisting: "What are you talking about? Don't you know the dangers after a dungeon upgrade?"

Cheng Zhen pointed to the title above his head: "I know very well, but whether you know or not, I don't know."

A Shi choked.

Realizing that Cheng Zhen was serious, he started to panic and could only look at the other two.

When Lizi saw him looking, she immediately turned her head, giving him her back.

Brother Tian was already fantasizing about the blue title.

"Brother Tian, you should be clear about the difficulty of this dungeon. If we do a dungeon upgrade, we might really die here!" A Shi tried to persuade Brother Tian to form a united front with him.

"Uh..." Brother Tian scratched his head, "But the dungeon upgrade is in Robinson's hands, so it's useless whether we agree or not."

"Then stop him!"

A Shi was anxious: "If you let him do this, isn't it just asking for death? As long as you and I act together, we..."

"But..."

Before he could finish, Brother Tian asked another profound question: "If you get rid of your teammates, how will you clear it?"

Not to mention that Lizi's second-tier skill is indeed beneficial to their status, you've pissed her off.

Who have they relied on to get this far? Does it even need to be said? If not Robinson, then Friday?

(Mba: I have no opinion)

Now you're ganging up to get rid of him, and whether or not you can beat these Fat Buddha summoned creatures is one thing... what about later when you encounter more difficult puzzles? Just give up?

Brother Tian's profound question silenced A Shi.

Sometimes it's like this: people with complex thoughts often overthink and get more and more tangled, while single-minded thinking goes straight to the core.

Did Brother Tian decide to take sides after careful consideration?

No, he simply thought he was no match for Cheng Zhen.

Those summoned creatures clearly looked formidable, not to mention Cheng Zhen had a purple title hanging over his head.

He couldn't win by force, his brain was no match, and the upgrade method was in the other person's hands, so what was the point of struggling and resisting?

So Brother Tian gave up.

Anyway, he had always relied on Cheng Zhen to solve puzzles, so there didn't seem to be much difference before and after the dungeon upgrade.

Although he felt a little heartache for the 50 points, using a Jeep to bet on a Land Rover... seemed okay?

Looking at this simple-minded fellow's willingness to give in, A Shi almost died of frustration.

On the contrary, Lizi, who had been sulking, suddenly felt relieved seeing him like this.

With a clear mind, she directly took out a bottle of potion and said: "Robinson, I spent all my points when I came in. Can I use an intermediate potion worth 50 points as payment?"

"Yes."

Cheng Zhen looked calm; as long as he didn't lose money, it was fine.

"Can we sign a contract?" Brother Tian asked, having been scammed out of items before, which made him a bit overly cautious.

"No problem."

Anyway, Cheng Zhen still had many contracts left from last time, so he reluctantly took a loss, earning 99.9 from the two of them.

"You... you..." A Shi pointed around but couldn't say anything.

"With these two, it's probably enough." Cheng Zhen glanced at A Shi, "If you want to leave, leave. I won't stop you."

A Shi gritted his teeth and ran from the door of the long corridor.

Brother Tian and Lizi had no other reaction.

Again, people like to compromise.

If Cheng Zhen had wanted a dungeon upgrade from the beginning, others might not have agreed.

Even if they agreed, they might not have been willing to pay.

But when you first threaten with force, and then offer benefits, they will be willing to pay.

Especially when they see someone being driven away and unable to buy in, they will feel like they got a good deal.

Cheng Zhen: Nailed it!

As for the guy who ran away...

Cheng Zhen looked at his retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Fortunately, he had a little cleverness, that's the best...

Afterward, Cheng Zhen signed the contract with Brother Tian and Lizi, then recalled the Fat Buddha.

The two then saw the figure behind the Fat Buddha and were instantly shocked:

"This snowman... no, he's Friday?!"

Friday, also known as Mba, also got more than twenty layers of ice and snow curses when the snowman exploded.

Now, he could no longer be seen with black skin; his entire body was almost covered in white frost!
