Chapter 741: Chapter 6 Looking Good is Having Youth!

Assistance?

There’s also assistance outside the arena?

Jason was taken aback, the scene before him was completely unexpected.

In his mind, inside and outside the arena were two insulators, completely isolated from each other.

Apart from watching the live broadcast, there shouldn’t be any other presence.

...

Yet, the scene unfolding before him was telling Jason that he had a lack of understanding of the world he was in.

Quickly adjusting his mindset, Jason immediately calmed down.

To provide assistance!

It was because he admired Galen’s calm manner of acting that Jason appreciated it, and more importantly, because Jason wanted to use this ‘assistance’ to gain a more thorough understanding of this ‘game’ and the world it was set in.

Compared to those reckless probes, the current method of spending 1 point was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

He glanced at the 59 points remaining.

Jason chose ‘Yes’ on the screen.

He looked at the screen with anticipation, wondering what the ‘lighter’ would be for the cost of 1 point.

Could it be the name of some kind of firearm?

Or something even more special?

What’s more!

The most important point was, how was this ‘lighter’ supposed to get into Galen’s hands?

With various guesses in mind, when Jason saw what happened on the screen clearly, he was once again taken aback.

…

The suffocation caused by lack of oxygen made Galen feel waves of dizziness.

He felt death approaching.

Was he going to die?

Is it all over just like this?

Sorry, Mom.

I’ve lo…

Huh?!

Just as Galen was about to lose his will to live, he suddenly found that the turf in front of him flipped over, revealing a lighter there.

It was the most common disposable lighter.

Colored overall, but transparent, filled with gas, the kind that makes a ‘click’ noise and produces a flame when pressed.

Galen, who had worked in a convenience store, was all too familiar with such lighters.

Usually placed at the checkout counter in the convenience store, corresponding to the cigarettes behind the cashier, they were positioned so that people buying cigarettes could easily see them.

A hallucination?

Galen couldn’t help thinking, but the instinct to survive still made him reach out his hand.

When his fingers touched the lighter, an uncontrollable look of ecstasy spread across Galen’s face.

It’s real!

It’s not a hallucination!

I can live!

Galen thought to himself, clutching the lighter tightly.

Then…

He aimed the lighter at the thick arm that was wrapped around his neck.

Click!

After a crisp sound, a flame shot out from the lighter.

The attacker’s arm hair was singed off right away.

A burnt stench filled the air.

"Ah!”

With a cry of panic, the attacker released Galen in the face of sudden pain.

Huff, huff.

Galen breathed heavily.

Fresh air flooded his lungs.

The discomfort in his body quickly disappeared.

And this scene sent the ‘audience’ into an uproar.

"What’s going on?”

"How could there be a lighter?”

"Cheating!”

"Someone is cheating!”

Many comments appeared, but immediately many more followed.

"Are all the previous ones elementary school kids?”

"Haven’t they seen any competition outside of the ‘preliminary’?”

"They don’t even know about ‘tipping’!”

"Yeah, a bunch of people who know nothing are making noise here.”

"They are actually not bad, at least to attract them, the organizers of the ‘Game’ made this year’s ‘prelims’ free, although it’s only on a regional level.”

"I don’t care about elementary school kids, I just want to know how much money the rich guy just spent. The tipping amount for such a ‘life-saving item’ mustn’t be low, right? Did it cost 1000 yuan?”

"You newbies up there, even for ‘prelims’ such a ‘life-saving item’ would cost 10000+.”

…

Just an ordinary lighter?

Jason watched the scene of Galen breaking free, then became absorbed by the barrage of comments that flowed like a stream.

Looking at these comments, Jason furrowed his brows.

‘Life-saving item’!

‘Tipping’!

He quickly focused on these two terms.

Then, his eyes scanned the comments.

Jason searched for valuable information within these fragmented messages.

Soon enough, complete information emerged in Jason’s mind.

"The ‘Crazy Game’s’ ‘prelims’ are open to everyone for free, while in past years, starting to watch the ‘prelims’ required payment. Similarly, compared to the monotonous ‘prelims’, the rules of the ‘prelims’ became richer, and the ‘audience’ could also join in, changing the scenarios they didn’t want to see with their own ‘money’.”

Jason frowned even more deeply.

For the ‘audience’, this was of course a good thing.

They could watch a more exciting ‘match’.

But for the participants, it really was fatal!

Whether ‘Survivor’ or ‘Brutalizer’, it was the same!

Because your meticulous preparation might be reversed by a single ‘tipping’.

And such a reversal could very likely cost you your life.

Besides!

There was also the way that the lighter had appeared just now.

"Not only are there ‘mechanisms’ hidden beneath the walls of my apartment, but even the competition area is similarly concealed?”

Jason murmured in his heart, but then he felt a sense of relief.

Since there could be such arrangements in his apartment, it was only natural that the competition area would have similar setups.

If not, that would be a more alarming issue.

However, this meant he had to be even more careful.

He had too many secrets on him.

Whether it was his origin or his Talent.
