When “God” Decides To Start Over

Chapter 18: Death Ball

Translator: CKtalon

“People in this world are divided into three types when eating.” Li Xiu didn’t reach out to shake Jin Zhenhuan’s hand. Instead, he slowly said, “One type of person doesn’t have any logic. They eat whatever they want. The second type of person chooses what they like to eat first and finish them before considering anything else. As for me, I’m the third type of person. I like to finish the dishes I don’t like first.”

“You want to fight me at the end?” Jin Zhenhuan understood what Li Xiu meant.

“I’m used to putting feasts at the end,” Li Xiu said with a smile.

“I’m just afraid that you will be defeated before you reach me,” Jin Zhenhuan mocked.

“I won’t lose today,” Li Xiu said indifferently.

“Alright, as you wish. I’ll defeat you in the final battle. However, if you escape before that, you will die even more tragically outside.” With that said, Jin Zhenhuan turned around and left without waiting for Li Xiu’s answer.

“I told you not to provoke him. Why did you have to say those words? What are you going to do this time? You have to know that in Death Ball, trial-takers with good physiques have an absolute advantage. It’s impossible for you to defeat Jin Zhenhuan,” Bandit said unhappily.

“Not necessarily.” Li Xiu looked around, hoping to find someone who was willing to team up with him.

However, no one responded to his gaze. This was because Li Xiu’s previous expression made one suspect that he was also proficient in baseball.

Although physical fitness was key to determining victory, if one’s technique was good enough, it would have a huge impact.

However, the number of people entering the trial grounds was even. There would definitely be someone who needed to team up with Li Xiu. It just depended on who the remaining person was.

“Can I form a team with you?” Just as Li Xiu thought he was going to wait until the end, a person walked in front of him. It was a trial-taker who had been forced here.

He looked to be in his thirties or forties and was in pretty good physical condition. From his figure, he was very likely an athlete from some sport.

Those who could survive to this day basically had some ability. Even if he wasn’t a trial-taker who had been repeatedly strengthened, he definitely had a very good foundation.

“Of course.” Li Xiu nodded.

“I have a condition,” the person suddenly said.

“What condition?” Li Xiu sized up the person with interest. This was the first time he had heard of conditions being raised when forming a team.

“I hope that we can cooperate with each other after forming the team. Everyone gets one point, and both of us will leave this place alive,” the man said.

“How do we cooperate?” Li Xiu was somewhat intrigued as he asked the person.

“There are two ways to score. One is to have the batter strike the ball out, but this is somewhat difficult for people who have never come into contact with baseball and have no sports experience. It’s also easier to make mistakes. The other way is to let the pitcher score directly. As long as the accuracy is alright, it’s not difficult to throw it into the square area that’s one meter long. We can choose not to defend against each other’s shots. This way, we can score safely and both of us will survive the trial,” the man analyzed.

“I refuse.” After hearing that, Li Xiu rejected the man without any hesitation.

“Think about it again. If you don’t team up with me, no one among the ordinary trial-takers will be willing to team up with you. You can only team up with administrators. That way, what are your chances of survival?” the man persuaded.

“Compared to you, I’m more willing to team up with those administrators.” After Li Xiu said that, he ignored the man.

Realizing that there was no hope, the man had no choice but to retreat.

“He’s right. If you don’t team up with him, you can only team up with administrators.” Bandit, who had already formed a team, heard their conversation and asked in puzzlement, “Is there a problem with that man? I have an impression of that person. His physique isn’t bad among ordinary people. He has the standards of a professional athlete, but he’s much weaker than the administrators. It’s better to choose him than the administrators.”

“I don’t like to go back on my word, nor do I like to place my fate in the hands of others. According to him, if I were to be the first to hit and let him get one point, what would happen if he were to strike out my ball when I became the pitcher?” Li Xiu said.

“That’s right. You have a 50% chance of being the batter first. He used one sentence to exchange for a 50% chance of winning. It’s indeed worth it.” Bandit understood and looked at the people who hadn’t formed a team. “The rest are administrators. From the looks of it, it will be hard for you to clear this round.”

Li Xiu declined to comment. When the final countdown was about to end, the remaining administrator came in front of Li Xiu. The two of them shook hands and became teammates without saying a word.

Li Xiu looked at his ranking. He was ranked twelfth. It was considered a very low ranking among administrators, but it was still much higher than Li Xiu’s ranking.

This time, a total of 62 people entered. Li Xiu was ranked 51st.

This was thanks to him receiving eleven enhancements in the last round. Otherwise, his ranking might have been even lower.

The trial began. Two people were teleported to the arena. One of them stood sideways at the batter’s position with a bat in hand, while the other stood at the pitcher’s position with a baseball in his hand.

Behind the batter was a square frame. As long as the ball hit the square frame, one could score.

The pitcher was an ordinary trial-taker, and the batter was the administrator. It was obvious that the administrator had most likely threatened him to form a team with him.

The pitcher clearly didn’t have any experience playing baseball. He didn’t even know how to hold the ball properly, much less throw a standard ball.

He used the posture he felt most comfortable in and threw the ball at the frame.

The ball was rather fast, and its accuracy wasn’t bad. The baseball whistled as it flew into the box. After all, trial-takers who could live to this day had good physiques and athletic abilities.

BANG!

The administrator suddenly swung his bat and sent the ball flying. The ball flew high into the air and flew behind the pitcher. From his actions, one could tell that he was definitely someone who knew how to play baseball.

The baseball field was centered around the batter. It extended towards the pitcher at a 120-degree angle, forming a fan-shaped area. Balls that left the fan-shaped area were considered out.

This ball flew past the pitcher’s head. It was definitely within a 120-degree angle, so it was naturally impossible for it to be out.

The baseball flew across the pitch and slammed into the invisible barrier that separated the spectator stands and the arena. Sparks erupted as the baseball fell.

If it were in reality, this might very well be a home run.

As expected, the administrator batter received one point.

The administrator came to the pitcher’s spot. He wore a glove in one hand and held a baseball in the other. He raised his right leg high and leaned back as though he was pulling a bow.

Shoosh!

The moment his right leg landed on the ground, the ball seemed to be repelled by a powerful rubber band as it flew out with a hum.

The batter hurriedly swung his bat, but it was too late. The bat missed and the baseball hit the frame.

The outcome was obvious. Everyone witnessed another explosion.

One of the two people who was teleported into the trial grounds was the trial-taker who had wanted to team up with Li Xiu.
