It came from his early experiences, even without the baptism of the Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, he was confident in his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it? Want to come out and meet face to face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce clenched his fists. In-game, only his cloak and tire came out with him, but it didn’t matter—he himself was the strongest weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he did regret a little now was not bringing Confessions of the Disillusioned. That kind of supernatural stuff really was hard to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you blind? Why the hell are you yelling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’ve got cognitive issues, I can take you to the mental hospital. If your brain’s just senile, let’s hit up a retirement home, we’re almost there anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That flippant voice rang out again, echoing around the small room. On the second listen, Lu Ce could pinpoint the direction it came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened slightly as he stared blankly at the Black Knight in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This thing’s that advanced...? Legendary Weapon comes with AI now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean AI? Why are you low-level species talking with that arrogant tone?” said the Black Knight with clear discontent, shifting slightly in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y’all aren’t even that smart to begin with, and you treat intelligence like it’s a human privilege. Real funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the f***ing robot. I’m starting to regret—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Black Knight looked like a vicious brute, but when it talked, it just wouldn’t shut up. Lu Ce said one sentence, and it fired off three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was kind of dumbfounded. How was this thing’s intelligence level so high...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he accepted the setting quickly and went straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—what do you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me? I’m useless. I’m trash. I just wanna lie down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight flopped down onto the ground with a loud bang, sending dust falling from the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A baby that weighed who-knows-how-many kilograms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce’s expression darkened. He clenched his fist and stood up from the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey man, c’mon, what the hell’s this? If you’ve got something to say, spit it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight got up from the ground in blatant defiance of the laws of physics and started speaking more properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the relatively quiet classroom, the students were doing self-study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a long time since Lu Ce had been at school, and suddenly it all felt like another lifetime, watching the distracted classmates around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Chosen’s Paradise descended, the scope of The Chosen Ones had gradually expanded, and its influence increased. The whole world felt like it was grinding to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget school—even basic industrial production was struggling. Chosen’s Paradise was the most critical issue worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more Chosen Ones had appeared in the class, and some had vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the homeroom teacher, who used to keep trying to talk them out of participating and persuade the school, had stopped showing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe there were new policies or decisions from the higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, the seat next to him was empty again—Xie Antong didn’t come to class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce’s long-silent phone finally got a message from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Xie Antong: Did you go to school today? If you did, say something on my behalf. There’s some stuff going on at home.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stared at the message, wondering if last time’s incident had affected her more than he thought. He finally replied with a simple “okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzzz bzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vibration sound came—not from his phone this time, but from the metal sphere in his other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That was the Black Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, after their “nuclear-positive” conversation, Lu Ce finally learned more about the Black Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mechanical Heart, as the name implied, gave machines a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after merging could it achieve this level of intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another benefit—it could also turn into a heart-sized metal sphere at will, making it easy to carry and communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint electric current flowed through Lu Ce’s palm, across his body, reorganizing the signal in his ear to form spoken words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro? Just ‘okay’? That’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You got a hormonal imbalance or something? Low on testosterone maybe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shouldn’t you be asking what’s going on at her place? Make a bold move, spark things up, heat up the relationship—marry next year, have a kid the year after…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce realized this thing was seriously out of line. He squeezed the metal sphere hard—in his hands, that was a serious threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Black Knight couldn’t care less and kept going:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You crush me, that’s two Legendary Weapons down the drain. Your call, bro.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>###！\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really wanted to punch this guy—but was worried he’d enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Xie Antong’s Legendary Weapon, Lu Ce had a deeper understanding of her background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn’t plan to pry. Families like that always had their own issues, especially in a world teetering on chaos—they’d be way more on edge than normal folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had nothing to do with him. All he had to do was fight his way to world number one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already zoning out, tuning out the chatter from the Black Knight, just waiting for the next Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Challenge Mode counted as an extra game, so this time, his schedule was tighter than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, you’re just heading back to your doghouse? Not taking me somewhere fun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the walk home from school, the Black Knight was still babbling. Maybe because it was the first day it could talk, it was scared of wasting a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, drop you off at a motorbike repair shop so you can pick a cutie?” Lu Ce shot back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why a repair shop? Can’t I get a brand new ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the banter between the two “people,” the time for the fourth Game had arrived. That familiar countdown appeared again before his eyes, and Lu Ce focused completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please make the necessary preparations in advance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please choose whether to join as an Audience Member or as a Player.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Player!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn’t his first time, every time Lu Ce felt like he could hear his own thunderous heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He belonged here! This was his Paradise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hello Player, you have a short window to prepare...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sin Mask in use. Please choose whether to use an unlocked form: Greed, Gluttony, or Wrath?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Confirmed. A previously unused form will be randomly selected during the Game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Game Initialized. Preparing to begin!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome to Chosen’s Paradise!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of dizziness hit him. When it passed and he opened his eyes, another wave came—it felt like he was somewhere swaying nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, before he had a chance to observe the surroundings or people around him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a golden spotlight illuminated everything in blinding brilliance, and a booming voice exploded above everyone’s heads!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, Players, to Hell Mode’s Chosen’s Game—Ocean Casino!】\u003C\u002Fp>",1169,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","93fff301971f2fa18971cf5de419067a42d94b88cf75655afaf844419184019a","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-108","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-106",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
