Chapter 68: No worries
“Since we’re all players that have entered the game, there’s no need for us to fight to the death. Even though I killed your partner… you shouldn’t have had that strong of an emotional connection with him. You probably just met and grouped up, so you shouldn’t have any reason to feel hatred towards me. How about we group up and cooperate?” Liu Gan suggested to the man threatening Jiang JinYuan. Liu Gan still needed Jiang JinYuan, so he couldn’t let him die.
“How do you want to work together?” The male looked warily at Liu Gan as he questioned him.
“I know this guy is a worker from San Xing Corporation. Previously, we traveled together but only so he could bring me back to the real world. He still has a lot of secret information that I wasn’t able to get from him. I wasn’t able to meet any other players, so I couldn’t form a larger team. But I do know that surviving in this game world alone is terribly hard, so I temporarily partnered with him.”
“Boss men, if you would be willing to accept me, I am willing to join you. As you can see, I am very good at fighting. Even though you have lost a companion, if you include me in the group, I am definitely more useful than him. If a team has a good fighter, then it will be a lot easier to survive while staying within [The Trembling World]. Our goal is to survive and return back to the real world, right? If you accept me, I can replace that person who died.”
Liu Gan said this to the person holding Jiang JinYuan hostage, and at the same time, he looked around elsewhere. He knew the opponent definitely wasn’t just two people, and they wouldn’t be very unified since they were a temporarily formed group. By giving that speech, it should have been easy to convince part of the group members, so they could relax and lower their guard. Then, he could easily rescue Jiang JinYuan from them.
Sure enough, right after Liu Gan had said these words, another three male players came out from hiding and walked closer.
“Your skills are very good. If you are willing to join us, then it won’t be a problem. But first, show us your sincerity.” A sturdy male player said, as he came out of hiding.
“I didn’t mean to kill your partner. Since he attempted to assassinate me, I was forced to take action.” Liu Gan pointed to the male corpse on the floor.
“That is understandable.” The sturdy male player replied expressionlessly. It seemed like it was as Liu Gan had guessed. These people were forced to grouped up temporarily.
“So boss, what must I do so you will accept me?” Liu Gan said to the sturdy male player.
“Let us hold onto your weapon and bag. After we have felt that you proved your sincerity, we will return these items to you.” The sturdy-male player said after pondering for a little while. As for when he would return these items, it wouldn’t be up for Liu Gan to decide.
“Okay, I can give these items to you as a way to express my sincerity.” Liu Gan said after thinking for a little bit. Liu Gan acted as if he was hesitant before he threw the fire axe a few meters away from him. Then, he placed his bag and other weapons down on the floor. He even placed the dagger by his waist on the floor, and then he stepped back a few meters away.
The sturdy male player signaled another male player at his side. The male player carefully walked over and after giving Liu Gan a look, he grabbed the weapons and backpack back to the side of his companions.
“Boss, how is my sincerity?” Liu Gan asked the study-male player with a shout.
