29 Do you need to go this extent just because of the Bathroom? (2/2)

Shi Xiaobai felt his heart turn slightly heavy hearing this. It was no wonder he noticed so many people giving him strange looks when he walked in. The people that came to ask about his identity had queer looks in the eyes. So it was all because he was currently in hot demand.

“Sigh, This King is always the focus of attention no matter where he goes!”

Shi Xiaobai exclaimed, and could not help but consider Lingcun’s words. Song Xiao and Han Feng were like a dictator and a constitutional monarch respectively. Personally, Shi Xiaobai would lean towards Han Feng.

But Shi Xiaobai could not help but look at that lonely figure.

Under the cruel elimination mechanism, once a group of people huddled together, their voting rights would collate into a distinctive force. The person left out would not be able to resist in the face of this force.

People were selfish. No one wished to be eliminated, so hugging on to the biggest pillar was their best option. Clearly, Song Xiao and Han Feng were the two relatively biggest pillars.

However, the groups gathered by Song Xiao and Han Feng happened to be fifteen each. As such, their voting strength reached an awkward balance. But as long as they gained another person, the balance would be broken. One side could then slowly devour the other group, ensuring that no one from their side would be eliminated.

The three Xiang brothers were independent from the two factions, so it was clear that they could join any side to ensure immunity from elimination, and even throw the other side into a spiralling abyss. However, the three Xiang brothers would rather be eliminated one by one than choose to join one of the two factions.

Why did they do that? Why were they so stupid? What were they trying to insist on?

Shi Xiaobai looked at Xiang Wu who was sitting alone at a corner. Suddenly, he felt his heart palpitate.

“This King…” Shi Xiaobai stood up.

“I know!”

Lingcun hurriedly stopped him with his words and got up. He stretched out his hand to press down on Shi Xiaobai’s shoulders and said seriously, “Dahei, I know you don’t want to join any of the two factions. I also know that you wish to help Xiang Wu! I share the same feelings as you, but you need to be aware of one thing. If you were to be left out like Xiang Wu, then the next person to be eliminated is very likely you. Dahei, are you willing to eliminate yourself the moment you arrive?”

This King…” Shi Xiaobai knitted his eyebrows slightly.

Lingcun cut him off by saying, “Dahei, if you were to join Han Feng’s faction, it is actually the best method to help Xiang Wu. After you join us, Han Feng’s faction would have sixteen people, one more person than Song Xiao’s faction. Then, in the next round, the sixteen of us can vote together to eliminate Song Xiao’s members. As such, we can prevent the fate of Xiang Wu being eliminated!”

“Sigh, This King…” Shi Xiaobai sighed.

Lingcun cut him off once again and said seriously, “Dahei, I know you don’t like to join the factions of others, and even more, you dislike voting out someone by combining forces. You advocate justice and believe in freedom, but, I wish you can seriously consider it. Joining Han Feng’s faction does not mean you are ignoring your conscience, but it is a very rational and mature way of doing things. Not only will it protect yourself from being eliminated, it will also help Xiang Wu.”

“Dahei, whether you and Xiang Wu can stay behind or not all depends on a thought of yours!”

Both of Lingcun’s hands were already on Shi Xiaobai’s shoulders. His pale blue eyes revealed a sense of anxiety. His handsome face was slightly taut, afraid that Shi Xiaobai would give a capricious answer.

The rookies, who were already paying close attention to Shi Xiaobai, also began to look over. The rookies from Han Feng’s faction, who were closest, pricked up their ears. From their conversation, this rookie named Dahei seemed to be on the fence?

“This King—”

Shi Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders, saying helplessly, “This King just wanted to go to the bathroom. Is there a need to be so nervous?”

Upon hearing this, Lingcun was dumbfounded. So all the heartfelt advice he gave was all f*cking nonsense!?

Author’s Note: The situation regarding the rookie training is basically set up. Wasted quite a few chapters, but I will try my best to make it interesting, but I’m not sure if everyone will still find it boring. But it’s alright. Soon, there will be a small climax, and after the small climax, it will be a big climax.
