When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Final Choice

Li Xiu looked at the black and white buttons. When there were five seconds left, he pressed the black button.

He chose the black button for the first question. Since there was no order to speak of in this question, he decided to determine the priority using the trial’s opener-black.

Although Li Xiu and Bandit didn’t have such an agreement, Li Xiu believed that with Bandit’s intelligence, she should be able to come to the same conclusion.

Of course, at this moment, he could only believe that Bandit could think of something. With his understanding of Bandit, she was definitely not a stupid woman.

He stared intently at the screen as he waited for the countdown to end.

“Three… Two… One… Countdown concluded. The answer is unanimous. Proceeding to the next round…”

After passing the trial without any mishaps, Li Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. If Bandit didn’t think of it and relied on luck to choose, the two of them would have been doomed.

Even if this question didn’t kill them, they would still die in the next round.

According to Li Xiu’s judgment, the subsequent questions wouldn’t make it easy for them to cheat.

Indeed, the next question exceeded any plans they had agreed on. “Do you believe in the existence of gods? Press any button if you believe. Otherwise, do not press a button.”

As Bandit had only mentioned one button, they had previously agreed to press the button if given a choice.

However, there were two buttons now. Following the agreement of pressing a button, he had to choose one, increasing the difficulty.

The best solution was to give up and not press. This was the easiest answer to reach a consensus. It was the simplest and most crude way to resolve a problem-something most people would choose.

When faced with a difficult problem, most ordinary people would choose to avoid the problem when given the possibility of avoiding it. Even if they knew that the situation might end up irredeemable, they would still avoid the unavoidable risk.

If both of them shared the same train of thought, they could easily reach a consensus.

However, Li Xiu chose to press because an agreement was an agreement. He believed that Bandit would abide by the agreement and not believe that her teammate would give up on difficult choices.

Li Xiu pressed the black button. It was the same train of thought from the previous question. He gave priority to the choice made at the beginning of the trial.

After pressing the black button, Li Xiu narrowed his eyes and stared at the countdown. This was because he couldn’t be sure if Bandit would try her luck, come to the conclusion of making such a choice, or have any other ideas.

Seconds ticked by as Li Xiu’s heart raced faster and faster. No matter how strong a person’s mind was, it was inevitable that they would be nervous at this moment.

Now, Li Xiu could only trust his judgment and his judgment of Bandit.

The last number on the screen turned into fragments and vanished. The bracelet on Li Xiu’s hand didn’t explode. This relieved Li Xiu completely.

Through this question, Li Xiu was certain that Bandit had made the same judgment as him. She wasn’t the kind of person who would resolve problems simply and crudely.

With this tacit understanding, the remaining questions were resolved by the two of them one by one. The ten questions were answered unanimously like perfection.

Through these questions, Li Xiu and Bandit gained an understanding of each other. It could even be said that both of them knew each other the best in the world. Even family or lovers couldn’t understand each other’s thoughts like the two of them.

The last question appeared on the screen as the cold electronic voice read it out word by word.

After reading the question, Li Xiu hesitated for the first time.

The question was very simple, and the choices were very clear. Even two people who didn’t know each other could make the same choice, allowing both of them to live and obtain the rewards.

By pressing the black button, the two of them could complete the World’s End trial and obtain the reward they deserved.

However, other than this option, there was another option.

If one of them chose to press the white button and the other person pressed the black button, the person who chose to press the white button would receive double the reward. The person who chose to press the black button would fail the trial.

Apart from that, the rules didn’t indicate what would happen if both of them pressed the white button.

Li Xiu looked at the black and white buttons, but he didn’t press them as decisively as before. Such a simple multiple-choice question was a hundred times more dangerous than the previous ones.

According to the agreement, Li Xiu should press the black button.

However, Bandit survived her first participation in the World’s End trial, earning her the S-class skill reward, “Forfeit.”

One had to form a team of two to participate in World’s End. In other words, someone had teamed up with Bandit to participate in the trial.

Then what happened to the other person? He must have reached the final round with Bandit. Otherwise, Bandit wouldn’t have obtained the reward.

But what happened to the person? If he survived, he should have obtained an S-class skill. Why hadn’t he heard of such a person in the Abyss Base?

If there was really such a person, Old Gu wouldn’t have let him go, just like how Old Gu treated Bandit.

What was even more terrifying was that Bandit had told Li Xiu that there were a total of ten questions, but now, there were eleven. And the additional question was such a multiple-choice question.

Was there a possibility that Bandit already knew that there were eleven questions? Could it be that the same multiple-choice question was posed to her when she first participated in the trial? The person who teamed up with Bandit chose the black button, but Bandit chose white?

Looking at the black-and-white button, Li Xiu fell silent.

If failure was having both of them press the white button, perhaps a smart person like Bandit would choose the black button.

However, the rules didn’t say what would happen if both of them pressed the white button. Perhaps both of them would obtain double the reward if they did so. This thought was very dangerous, but it wasn’t impossible. It was precisely because of this tiny possibility that people who might have chosen the black button ended up choosing the white button with greater probability.

Choosing the black button had a 50% chance of dying. Even if he didn’t die, he could only obtain one reward.

Choosing the white button might not imply death. There was a 50% chance-perhaps even higher-of obtaining two rewards.

In the struggle between the angel and devil, the devil’s side was often more attractive.

Li Xiu didn’t care about the additional reward, but what about Bandit? After all, they had only known each other for half a month. Bandit might even have done something similar previously.

“Four… Three… Two…” The countdown reached the last second. It was time to make a choice.

The S-class difficulty lives up to its name. In reality, the ugliness of human nature often defeats kindness. Bandit, what will you choose? Li Xiu looked at the two buttons in front of him and slowly exhaled. He reached out and pressed one of the buttons.
