Chapter 399 - Searchlight

Truthfully, this trial wasn’t much of a challenge for Liu Gan. Now that he was level 10, his strength was much higher, so he had a higher stamina than the other players, perhaps up to ten times as much. On top of that, his cheat, the alloy limbs, hardly experienced fatigue like regular muscles would.
Liu Gan truly believed that his strength would be able to withstand the challenge. Even if he got tired, with NaNa by his side he could grab onto her body to rest a bit until his strength returned. With his fortified mentality, he hardly felt any fear. To him, this trial wasn’t much of a test.
“How long is it! Do you see the end? If we don’t reach the end of this, we will run out of strength!” a player shouted after he had reached a hundred meters or so in his climb. He was starting to panic. At this moment, he still had strength, but fear started to set in. When fear set in, his mentality started to drain the strength in his arms.
“Concentrate on your climb! Don’t shout! It won’t help you at all!” Liu Gan shouted back at the fool.
Relying on upper arm strength to monkey climb through high altitude required a lot of strength. Normal players could only last the initial ten meters, but these players survived a hundred meters, then two hundred meters. That was the limit for these level 5 players.
“I can’t! I don’t think I can hold on anymore! Someone! Help me!” a player panicked as he shouted loudly.
“I don’t think I can hold anymore! Lord Liu, help me!” another player started panicking as well.
“This is a test of ‘valor’, it is not a strength test. As long as you don’t succumb to the fear of the zombies, then you won’t have any problem!” Liu Gan encouraged the players.
“Lord Liu! It is easy for you to say! Having courage doesn’t mean we can just continue climbing through this! Hurry and save us! Otherwise we will die here! It will be all your fault!” the player started slipping on his grip as he shouted at Liu Gan.
“I didn’t force you to come with me. When I called for volunteers, you knew what you were signing up for,” Liu Gan replied after he heard the player’s complaint. When he asked for volunteers, he clearly said that this trip to the laboratory was very dangerous. It was possible that no one would return alive. Yet, these players rushed to volunteer of their own will.
Even if Liu Gan had intentions of using them as cannon fodders, they were willing to be subjected to this condition since they signed themselves up.
These new players that surrounded Liu Gan weren’t familiar with Liu Gan’s personality yet. Only the few familiars like Jiang JinYuan, Zhao Meng, and QiuTao were the ones that Liu Gan would help in critical conditions. Ultimately, if it came down to it, Zhao Meng and QiuTao would have to be given up. It was necessary that he protect Jiang JinYuan this time around.
Why the special treatment for Jiang JinYuan? Since Jiang JinYuan was the match maker for him and Yin He. It was quite difficult to revive Jiang JinYuan with Su Nina’s help. Until the last minute, he wouldn’t give up Jiang JinYuan so easily.
