Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

The cheetah meat tasted pretty good. After 022 finished the cheetah meat in his hand, he planned to lean against the tree trunk and take a nap. Just as he closed his eyes to get some shut-eye, even before he fell asleep, he heard a scream.

The scream came from his southeast direction.

It seemed like someone was hunting dolls in his hiding territory.

hesitated for a moment and decided to find another place to sleep. He slid down from the tree trunk and quickly ran towards a patch of thorn bushes.

It was the same patch of thorn bushes he and 099 had used to hide back in the day.

The thorn bush vines grew taller and intertwined with the branches of the ancient trees above, looking like a natural thorn cage at a glance.

walked under the ancient tree, brushed away the fallen leaves on the ground with his hand, uncovered a wooden door, and slipped inside. He crawled through a dark passage into the thorns.

This thorn bush was 022’s safe haven. Every time there was a big escape, as long as he hid inside the thorn bushes, no one could find him.

He just needed to wait for five hours, then go out and find two severely injured people. After killing them, he would have enough minimum points to pass.

Meanwhile, the players who had been following 022 for a long time in the Dark Desire Live Room and Hell Palace couldn’t help but curse loudly when they saw 022 hiding in that thorn cage again.

[Damn it, 022 is hiding again, the coward!]

[Is 022 planning to stay safe until he dies of old age? Hides in the thorn bushes for the first half of the night to sleep, and goes out to collect points in the second half. He’s figured out this game.]

[Hahaha, 022 sure hides again.]

[Crafty old player!]

[Looks like 022 is going to camp until the end again tonight. I don’t care; I’ll place a bet on him first.]

Ever since being sold here, 022, who had never contacted the outside world, had no idea that players could not only clearly locate his coordinates but could also directly see his every move in the Toy Pool!

= crafty old player, that’s common knowledge among all Hell Palace battle royale game players.

The battle royale had only been going for an hour, and already someone bet on 022.

is a crafty old player and a ’bet guarantee.’ Betting on him most likely won’t win a lot, but it also probably won’t lose much.

He could always rely on ’hiding’ and ’picking up leftovers’ to smoothly get through every battle royale game.

Ying Ziyao looked up and saw the combat doll information screen updating with the latest betting situation.

001, who had the most points last time, was the popular player for this game; the betting amount on him reached 80 million silver coins.

However, the second place wasn’t 002, because 002 had been severely injured in the last game. An injured 002 could likely become the target of gang attacks, so betting on him wasn’t safe.

The second combat doll was number 022, who had currently garnered a bet amount of 20 million silver coins.

The players betting on 001 and 022 were mostly cautious gamblers.

The truly crazy players hadn’t started betting officially yet. However, Hell Palace opened a member betting mode every two hours. Each member was required to place a bet on their favored combat doll at least once, with a minimum of 50,000 silver coins.

One must admit, the Palace Master of Hell Palace was a ruthless money-maker.

Time quickly passed two hours, and the first round of betting mode automatically started. Ying Ziyao and Zheng Qin both received betting reminders, and the system placed all the combat doll avatars in front of them, requiring them to place a first-round bet within one minute.

Anyone who failed to bet on time would be directly kicked out of the live room.

Ying Ziyao and Zheng Qin quickly followed their previously discussed strategy, betting 1.5 million silver coins on Huo Wen’an at the same time.

Zheng Qin had a total of 1.5 million silver coins, all of it was Huo Wen’an’s selling money.

Xu Xingguang had 1.7 million in selling money; they bet 1.5 million on Huo Wen’an, and Ying Ziyao placed the remaining 200,000 entirely on Xu Xingguang.

Actually, Ying Ziyao wanted to bet entirely on Xu Xingguang, but what could he do? Xu Xingguang had early on instructed them to bet entirely on Huo Wen’an.

This was the crucial moment for making money, so he had to follow Xu Xingguang’s instructions.

A minute later, the betting mode ended.

The combat doll information had a new update. This time, the popular player was still 001, on whom players had bet a total of 110 million silver coins.

The second was not 022 either but 099, who received a bet amount totaling 42.5 million silver coins.

But Zheng Qin and Ying Ziyao only bet a total of 2.5 million silver coins on Huo Wen’an.
