It looked fresh and tender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was silent, staring at the liver on the ground, imagining the state that woman must be in now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happens to someone who loses their liver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, what’s the rush? I told you, think carefully before speaking. You’re getting worked up over a word game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing it was just a liver. If a whole head had been left behind, now that would’ve been seriously gross.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet atmosphere, Lu Ce’s carefree voice rang out again, echoing in everyone’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, why don’t you see if you can use it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if something had just occurred to him, Lu Ce turned to the nearby Fake Human No. 1 and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake Human No. 1: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【What do you mean by word game?! How can you say that! How can you say that!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I explained it very clearly, okay? Besides, three items—that’s already merciful. Look, she even dropped a shoe.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This thing also depends on their own luck. If you’re lucky, you’re fine. And honestly, I think this price is still better than losing all your current abilities.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This is the gamble. This is the spirit of the game, isn’t it!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it finished speaking, a loud shout came without hesitation—that was Lu Ce’s voice, agreeing with what it said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spreading his hands, an excited smile on his Purple Mask, he continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ocean Casino! That’s the real name of this game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wager everything you have—whether you stay or exit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The word ‘gamble’ has always been part of your life. Even going out to eat is a bet that you won’t get hit by a car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there really is a god in this world, it’s the God of Probability. She controls everything. Even Einstein once glimpsed her form...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Placing everything you have on the unknown, on a mystery about to be revealed—that’s true... thrill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that’s interesting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yeah yeah, now that’s interesting!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime echoed him, wriggling its body. The two of them looked genuinely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely at odds with the mood of the scene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone remained silent, staring at the liver on the ground. The hand called fear had already gripped most of their judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To exit or not to exit? That was the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to ask something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Xie Antong suddenly spoke, turning to look at the Slime. \"If someone has more than three Stars, can they exit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the previous chaotic guessing, she had already unmasked. Lu Ce had recognized her, as had Jiu Tian from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, what a small world—to get matched with the same people twice randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he showed no reaction, as if he didn’t know them at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yes, three or more Stars. If you choose to exit now, there will be no punishment.】 the Slime answered flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just no punishment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【What else? You cowards who quit halfway—do you still expect a reward?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime’s tone instantly rose. It turned and saw Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh, you’ve got seven Stars, huh? Then don’t quit. Stay and keep playing—it’ll be fun.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tone softened just a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment this game started, it had constantly shown off its Extraordinary Power—instant face-changing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could immediately adjust its attitude completely based on who it was talking to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of everyone present, those with more than three Stars were the minority. Many, caught between hesitation and resolve, had already made their decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with two Stars were the most likely to exit. It’s a Hell Mode game—who knows what’s waiting ahead? Might as well try their luck now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some got lucky and only lost some clothes or gear. Others weren’t so lucky—losing hands or legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person even had a heart appear on the ground when they exited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that heart, everyone went pale. This game might not have the usual blood and torture of a typical Hell Mode, but its psychological torment was brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few of the three-Star players also started to exit. Xie Antong was hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By nature, she leaned toward caution. But a casino... this should be her strong suit—a non-combat scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she currently had seven Stars—aside from “Sin,” she probably had the most...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, even if she had the All-Seeing Eye, she couldn’t see through her own heart. No matter how high your IQ, it’s hard to contend with human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, everyone has a Greed Mask. It’s just not always worn on the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go. Honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was still struggling, Lu Ce suddenly spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about wasting your Stars. It doesn’t matter. You don’t belong here. You don’t have that kind of aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My final reminder to you—think of it as my last bit of mercy for you low-grade creatures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood in place, leaning on a table, speaking with biting sarcasm, not caring at all whether he was making enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth is, this was Lu Ce reining in his own vile Lust Mask, trying to speak with genuine mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though judging by everyone’s reactions, it might’ve backfired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with all eyes on him again, Lu Ce behind the Lust Mask didn’t feel uncomfortable—in fact, he kind of enjoyed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His need for attention was greatly satisfied...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a question, Game Host.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a man with a gloomy face looked at the Slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this casino game, are players allowed to kill or attack each other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh, unless it’s required by the game, then no, it’s not allowed.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloomy man responded, then looked at the others and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this point, I don’t think any of us are willing to just leave like this—or to risk what we might lose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Folks, I don’t think we need to be scared by the so-called Strongest Player title.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s strong, sure—his personal combat power has surpassed human limits. But here, it’s a game. A gamble is what really determines the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you’ve lost the power you’re most proud of—who are you then, Strongest Player?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was calm, but that last line was directed at “Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who am I? Don’t you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lu Ce snapped his head around, his sharp gaze piercing the other man’s eyes, making him flinch instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the Strongest Player, the fear in your hearts, the one you pretend to challenge with bravado, yet never dare confront directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meeting me is your honor. Being in the same game as me—that is your misfortune!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f8e588fb77ea620a91e383b3dca816303f01a37b0a2d990499ecffaf160a995","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-118","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-116",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
