The Player's System

Chapter 288 – Fest 6

Fest 6

Jake was not satisfied how the man questioned. His black hooded face shook as if he knew the right answer. The man opened his mouth to answer. "This cage is safer for the innocent bird. It could die in the unsafe air." The man with the black overall puffed his chest while answering.

He knew that his answer would increase the points on the loyalty scale. It happened so. The third staff changed the scale position toward the second sign. For Jake it was weirdest scale ever. It was useless thing to fool others.

There was nothing about the scale that attracted his attention especially after the question and answer of the staff. He was no more interested to pay tribute to the scale creator.

The staff pointed toward the glass of poison and asked second question for the scale, "Would you drink this poison if it is present in reality for the sake of the owner?" The staff confidently asked.

He seemed very proud of his scale which was foolish thing in front Jake. Any sober person could tell that the scale was foolery. Now Jake was curious why this type of scale was introduced. He got interested to know about the staff who showed this scale earlier.

It was no way related with the museum or the owner of the museum. It was out of question that some responsible people could introduce such useless scale.

Jake fixed his attention at the man that was questioning for the sake of loyalty. He thought to ignore the staff who was ready to answer the second question.

The staff puffed his chest again and spoke, "I would not back down. To die for the owner is my first and foremost proud." He was trying his best so that the loyalty scale announce him the most loyal staff.

The third staff admired his answer. "With this rate you will be snatching the position of most loyal staff. The owner would be happy. I wonder what reward you would want to in return of this loyalty." The staff representative chuckled. Since he introduced this foolish scale so he also rewarded them saying that the reward was sent by the owner.

This earned the trust of his underlings. Jake heard the answer and wanted clap. Who would have thought that the owner has loyal staff ready to drink poison just for the sake of loyalty.

Also it confirmed his suspicion against the particular staff member. It was clear that he was tricking others. There was no doubt that he would trick Jake as well.

The staff representative moved the scale toward the third signs and asked another stupid question. The man answered with all honesty.

Jake was not taking part in order to appreciate his answers while others added comments to admire his loyalty. Jake sighed. He sneaked to see that the staff representative was getting annoyed at his silence.

Sometimes not the words simply the silence could annoy the enemies. Jake knew how to use the weapon of silence. He was after all backed by the task panel.

The staff representative announced the first staff as loyal person. He then began to question second member. The second member also gave his best answers to compete for the loyalty reward.

As if party of fools was reluctant to give up, they seemed careless whether their answers matched their inner thoughts.

They could hide inner thoughts so that the loyalty could be placed first. They were after all loyal for the museum. The answers were the results of several hundred loyalty tests. It was impossible for them to skip any.

Jake could not bother their carelessness. He was not here to tell or explain anything. These characters were npc's and his target was the suspect among them.

They could ploy according to the game rules yet he as player could see through their bland movements.

Jake was preparing his answers because after the fifth member it was his turn. There was no way to refuse instead he was ready to give proper answers in order to test the staff representative.

The scale was not official, it means the staff representative has the malicious intentions. It was confirmed by his actions. He was keeping eyes at Jake.

Finally it was his turn to answer some foolish questions.

The staff representative shook his black overall to show his authority over the underlings. He could order other staff members to attack at Jake in case he kept the silence and didn't answer.

Since the staff members were loyal he could order them to make his last move.

It depended whether the enemy could stop him using some better trick.

He was getting frustrated whether this staff was loyal or not. Jake had been waiting for his turn. The staff representative dragged the circular scale in front of him. "You already know the question, tell me the answer." His tone changed drastically when he asked from Jake.

Jake brought strange smile on his face. The staff representative could see his half face. Jake confirmed that this man was suspect. While the man got alert that he was uncovered.

"I would break the cage and kill the creator of the cage because my loyalty is with the freedom." Jake replied. He silently put his hand on the gun under the black overall.

His answer brought wave of storm among the staff. They were agape at his answer and looked toward the staff representative. He was no different.

It was confirmed that the owner sent this man to spot the suspect. Most of the suspected staff members received secret information regarding the tea invitation so they were prepared to flee from the museum in case they were uncovered.

The staff representative did not give remark at his answer. There was nothing that he could argue with. Argument would only drag the matter which was unnecessary.

"Then what is your second answer?" He asked with hoarse voice. His throat was fully dried now. One single moment and he would be captured.

Jake put his finger on the trigger and stood up, " I will make the one drink poison who is disloyal." Saying this he fired. This didn't give enough time to the staff representative to flee.

He fell dead from his chair. Immediately guards came to clear the spot.

Third team killed three suspects. They were currently leading.

Twelve suspects reduced to eight. The fest had the reserved perks which were in the form of golden clue and the Healing Gummies.

The way developers set it in the middle of the ongoing level increased the curiosity of the spectators.

After Jake killed one suspect, spectators applauded for him. They were enjoying his progress especially after his appearance in the Fourth level.

He was no more carrying sling across arm. This was wonderful improvement. Half of them wanted to know why he was using sling earlier.

(His loyal fans were increasing. Most of them sending numerous offers. Some of the fans were rich and strong. They wanted to get acquainted with him. Some of them have some deals and business projects to sign up with the youngest and most popular player.

There were three type of rankings, Normal ranking where the teams appeared according to their performance. The individual rankings were set for the top ten players. Those players who showed extraordinary performance for the team as well as the Live Portal.

Currently Jake Lin was leading on number one position while his team members comes in the later rankings. Unfortunately none of the opponents could stand in this ranking untill now because no one survived.

The third rankings were for the owners of the teams. This ranking was based on the performance of the respective teams in the Live portal. The results of the first three level clearly knocked out other teams. While Gueman taking the top spot.

It brought new wave of popularity for his company. People were appreciating his method of making choices for the players. They were also admiring his way of keeping control on his team.

There were several moments where spectators could see the worst situation while the players decided according to the orders.

It was not just team work but the one who was sitting behind and always give new instructions at the opening of the new level. So currently all rankings were under the 'Sovereign Rulers'

It was direct slap on the faces of the scheming people and CEO's. They could do nothing until now. The spectators heard the rumors. Half of them cancelled their bookings for the levels after the level five.

They didn't want to spectate those levels because third team would not participate in these levels. The organizers were worried yet they had the backing of oldies. They could bear the losses in order to bring their teams in the ground. The things were not feasible for other teams in the current scenario.. It was all happening right after fifth level.)
