Just... gross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unnatural tension spread through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People instinctively kept a wider distance from one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underneath those handsome and beautiful masks, something like that existed—no one could be sure if the person next to them was one of those things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But \"Sin\" didn’t react like everyone else. On the purple mask, an expression of delight appeared. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, getting even closer to the Fake Human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, you didn’t let me down. Beneath the mask is a truly beautiful face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among so many vulgar and ugly people, I spotted your beauty at a glance. I think this might be fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—To see bones as one sees a beauty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the discomfort caused by the skeletal figure, what “Sin” said probably had an even more shocking effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Human seemed like it had never encountered this kind of player before. After a two-second freeze, it resumed its scripted NPC-like dialogue:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless, it’s unfortunate. You lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I think I won.\" Lu Ce stepped forward again—his mask was almost touching the skull—and even grabbed the other’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Human’s skeleton trembled—it didn’t dodge in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just seeing you means I’ve already won.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce held the skeleton hand, gazing \"affectionately\" at the skull, his entire body radiating an almost explosive hormone vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake Human: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its preset processing logic clearly never accounted for this scenario—its system just completely froze, like the CPU had fried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just it—everyone was fried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole casino felt like it had been hit with a paralysis spell. No one moved. Everyone was staring stone-faced at that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You being the Strongest Player—we’re not jealous at all, really!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantly humbled those who previously thought they were top-tier and had trouble accepting the First Player’s position. They bowed their heads in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They behaved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian’s teammate beside him looked like he was about to wet himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching \"Sin\" almost press against that skull, his pupils were quaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Jiu Tian, he said, \"Show-Off Guy! I feel bad for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The filthy air of the mortal world makes me feel dirty, unwilling to touch anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But holding your hand... it’s different. It’s like the polluted air has suddenly become fresher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce didn’t seem to care about the game or anything else. Holding the Fake Human’s hand, he kept talking, like putting on a show for the Slime on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>duang, duang—it started bouncing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Human subtly pulled its hand back and shyly took a step back, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s proceed with the game’s buffer phase first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to agree to a not-so-excessive request from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"None of your requests could ever be excessive!\" Lu Ce replied immediately, pointing Hell Roar at his own chest. \"Want to see my sincerity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake Human: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, it didn’t even know how many times it had gone silent—just chose not to respond, then turned to look at the Slime and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright, then the game is signed!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rules set by the Fake Human, carried out by Player ‘Sin’. Breaking the rules equals losing.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The wager: if the player loses, they lose one star; if the Fake Human loses, the player gains one star.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Due to the ×2 rule.....】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the h*ll do I need your worthless star for, you blind and ugly piece of s**t?! Don’t you know what’s needed?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, “Sin” was releasing charm like a gentleman—now he exploded in rage, spinning around and cursing out the Slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Human jolted again, terrified, backing away a bit more. The Slime froze stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, two chubby, fleshy hands stretched out of its body and started scribbling something in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright then. Due to Player ‘Sin’s reasonable request, and to keep the game fun and exciting, the wager has been revised.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The wager: if the player loses, they lose two stars; if the Fake Human loses, it must unconditionally agree to one request from the player.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, the Slime bounced over happily, facing Lu Ce, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【How’s that?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect.\" Lu Ce nodded in satisfaction and gave a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were discussing terms like a business deal. Everyone else had no clue why this “Sin” guy had such high game privileges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just because he unmasked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there really a benefit to voluntarily unmasking?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering the game, everyone had been hit with blow after blow. Their minds were starting to go numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly ten minutes of the one-hour countdown had passed, and no one had made a move. They all just stared at “Sin,” waiting for this unstoppable guy to blaze a trail for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime shot a cold glance at everyone, then muttered under its breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【What a bunch of people who have no idea how to enjoy a game...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then! The game is sealed! Let’s begin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right as the Slime finished speaking—and maybe because it couldn’t stand Lu Ce’s flirty mask anymore—the Fake Human in front of him hurriedly announced the game start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little game test. I need three players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it stretched out a bony finger and pointed three times into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You three, come forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","646c13146cba18ef19f1439d831187644a0ae11e266f03c008534110712f1662","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-112","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-110",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
