Most of them have three consecutive Perfect Completions under their belts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either they’re naturally skilled, have powerful Extraordinary Powers, or are equipped with top-tier gear—every one of these hundred players is proud and sees themselves as someone destined to change the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that kind of confidence naturally comes comparison and competition. No one wants to admit they’re truly below someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet now, someone had actually chosen Hell Mode for themselves and managed to directly slay another top-100 contestant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That revealed at least three things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, this person’s personality must be absolutely ruthless—not the kind to show mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he strikes with such extreme precision and finality that the other guy didn’t even have time to use an Exit Token!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For top-tier players, the existence of someone like this felt like a thorn in their backs. They couldn’t help but wonder—what if it had been me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right after that, the system voice broadcasted the global announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was “Sin’s” victory statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hope the next one isn’t this weak. Also hope... you’re mentally prepared like I am.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t even a very arrogant line. Since he wasn’t wearing his mask, Lu Ce kept it relatively calm. But even that one short sentence carried overwhelming confidence that hit everyone head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of mental preparation was he talking about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Once the challenge begins, it’s life or death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, among the top-ranked players, some grew wary and observant, others were eager to fight. Top players all over the world had their eyes locked on this strongest player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So much bloodlust...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting. Someone this fun actually exists in the world, haha. Sooner or later, we’ll meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wears a mask... hides his identity. There’s no way he’s a lone wolf. Better keep observing until we know more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we sure he’s from Huaguo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many voices surrounded that violent and mysterious figure. Another player wearing a helmet, “Blank,” despite having Legendary-tier gear, was selectively ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xie Antong had already been teleported back to her own room after a quick settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this time, her usual routine of gathering and compiling intel—she didn’t do any of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The empty study room had only one screen in front of her. Behind that screen was a supercomputer ranked among the top 100 in all of Asia for processing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No extravagant decorations. Just this pinnacle of human engineering said everything that needed to be said about wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat in her chair, quietly lowering her head. Her hands were still trembling slightly as she tried to calm her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind had almost nothing in it—just Sin’s words, replaying over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he really right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His judgment must’ve been wrong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was now filled with endless self-doubt and denial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotionally, she was also going through the side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Sealed Artifacts comes with obvious side effects, but that doesn’t mean everything else is side-effect-free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how prolonged sword use causes fatigue—fatigue is the “side effect” of swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Seeing Eye’s boost to the brain also came with a heavy mental drain. And the effect of the Brainwave Amplifier Drug had completely worn off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her current state was like a genius slowly regressing into an idiot—a depressing drop that hit hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the biggest aftereffect of using the All-Seeing Eye—Depressive Feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, after using it, the worst she felt was a temporary low mood. But this time, it was truly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin’s” words had struck her to the core—something she hadn’t anticipated at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, she just wanted to break down and cry, even go hysterical. But clearly, that was something she couldn’t allow herself to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under rational control, she just curled up in her chair, gently trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a long breath, she confirmed no one else was in the room. Then, with one hand over her face, tears slowly seeped through her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So f***ing pathetic....”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing she’d always been proud of had been shattered. Her earlier rebuttal felt like a panicked, desperate flail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell quiet, leaving her alone to slowly digest everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over on Lu Ce’s side, things were a little better. After exiting the game, he didn’t think about what the other person had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power always comes first. If everyone will eventually be consumed by desire, then he chooses power—no matter the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his phone. No messages like usual. After thinking for a moment, he turned it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he summoned his Black Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had two Two-World Backpack slots—one held his Mysterious Cloak, the other now held the Black Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first Legendary Weapon, so he still needed to get used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this cramped little room, the massive object looked even bulkier—nearly touching the ceiling. Lu Ce had no choice but to curl up on his little bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing looked like a motorcycle, but Lu Ce was pretty sure it’d never be street-legal. The body was too solid, the design too monstrous. It just didn’t look like it followed any traffic rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the edges—they were almost as sharp as blades!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was really bugging Lu Ce right now was the weapon’s tier, so he started checking the game’s basic item description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing... so it’s the result of combining the original Black Knight with the Mechanical Heart, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Correct.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I don’t really see any changes... aren’t the functions the same?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, the original Black Knight was Legendary, and the Mechanical Heart was also a Legendary-tier component. So now this thing’s rank is...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Legendary-tier!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game system gave a firm answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F***!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce felt like he’d been ripped off. He muttered to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s like I added it and nothing changed? Not even the appearance! It’s not even as good as the Mysterious Cloak. Totally useless......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished talking, another voice echoed through the cramped room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa whoa whoa—what do you mean ‘useless,’ bro? That kinda talk hurts, y’know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","b872f639d45d2a0712a3b3e31b26dd4f4bd189abf6326b827a8fe7eb4f310219","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-107","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-105",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
