Unlike the eight Skeletons before him, because of his heavier weight, he actually made a bit of a splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, his entire body looked like it had been thrown into an asphalt mixer—he tumbled a few times and disappeared, without a scream, without any blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just vanished like that, as if water merged into the sea, making everyone’s hearts skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was never clearly stated, the Slime had never explained what would happen if someone fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But death clearly had already become the final price any of them might pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, those ranked higher actually felt a strange sense of gratitude—luckily, the First Player ahead of them still had some way to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Ce had fallen early on, the rest of them probably wouldn’t have made it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity. Turns out the hardest thing in life is recognizing whether that sudden surge in your heart is courage... or stupidity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood on the edge, looking at the churning Black Sea below, spreading his hands and smiling as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just realized—the moment he put on the Lust Mask, it somehow gave him a bit of a philosopher’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy lost his bet, and honestly, Lu Ce hadn’t pulled any strings. He wasn’t even qualified to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only hoped he could raise the stakes of this Game, make things more uncertain—only then would it be fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the guy had actually won, Lu Ce wouldn’t have cared either. So what if he created a dumb*ss with the most Stars? It’s all just play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all for fun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still... whether that guy behind the scenes had a hand in this, who knows......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought about it, Lu Ce glanced toward the distant Slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it was standing quietly. Despite the drama unfolding, it was completely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Why aren’t you saying anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce shouted at it from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slime: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime trembled, then looked at Lu Ce with a bunch of question marks over its head, completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t you the one who told me not to talk?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ah, well done! This Game is getting more and more exciting!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I hope everyone......】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then—something unexpected happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past him. It was a fierce gale—definitely not natural sea breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after being here for so long, he could still tell the difference between real wind and this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and saw the guy who had drawn Number Three earlier—the one who voluntarily asked to switch spots with him—was already rushing forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue currents wrapped around his entire body. He looked like he was soaring on clouds, silver lightning crackling around his feet—clearly using some kind of supernatural power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a Special Ability he’d gotten in the Game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But up till now, he’d never used it in any previous Game, and no one even knew who he was. Who would’ve thought he’d suddenly strike now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No warning at all—he just shot out like a lightning bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the people who’d been watching closely didn’t have time to cry out in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Number Three’s eyes gleamed with a sick light. He’d already made it to the twentieth tile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the fat guy who helped eliminate the wrong option earlier, he now stood on a solid platform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I! Am! Going! To! Win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were bulging like he wanted to pop them right out of his sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the casino-like atmosphere, in the face of massive rewards, human nature gets amplified to the point of destruction. His face now twisted into something no longer human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, he looked fast as lightning. But in Lu Ce’s expert eyes, the guy was still too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final leap toward victory, Number Three was just one step away from clearing the Game—when suddenly, his body twisted and lost balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a race car speeding out of control, about to fly off the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down—and saw a blade tip bursting out from his groin, skewering him straight through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his momentum vanished in that instant. His body jerked sideways and missed the final platform by just a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sharpened Blade had flown in from behind and caught up with him mid-motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t they say players couldn’t be harmed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only thought left in Number Three’s head. Then, without a sound, he fell—just as pain flooded his senses, he dropped into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortune Favors the Bold... but the bold fall just as hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to snatch a reward from Lu Ce’s hand—well, gotta admit, it took guts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap. Clap. Clap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Lu Ce slowly applauded, his tone cold as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t really care about winning or losing. Right now, he was Lust—not Greed. Winning didn’t mean much to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t mean others could snatch it from him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back at the crowd behind him, everyone instinctively stepped back, avoiding his gaze, afraid to confront him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, straightening his collar, Lu Ce walked the final two steps without any resistance and arrived at the goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed the button lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous sound erupted. The entire gambling ship lit up brightly, and a voice screamed at the top of its lungs:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Nice! Congratulations to our 20-player Game! The first successful player has emerged!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Let’s give a warm celebration!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Slime itself, screaming like a maniac. The voice was so loud it gave everyone a fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd glared furiously, but the Slime didn’t care—it kept shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Now beginning reward settlement!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Total Prize Pool: 8 Two-Star bets, 6 Three-Star bets, 5 Four-Star bets! Total of 54 Stars!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Based on a 70% share, that’s 38 Stars!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Subtracting the nine-point debt from “Sin” for temporary usage of Torture Devices, after clearing all dues, there are 29 left—making him the First Player!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime went full suck-up mode like some corporate lackey after a big win, clapping and cheering like crazy—the whole scene was intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Lu Ce’s chest, a colorful Star glowed. Beside it, the number “29” was displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It represented his current Star Count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wei stood in the crowd, feeling weak all over, stiffly frozen in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the crowd, trying to spot the previous number one. At that moment, Xie Antong was also looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met briefly, and Xie Antong’s lips twitched as she quickly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a stupid pig, just rushing to die......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been winning all night, scheming carefully, and then “Sin” just ended it all in one move. Damn it, Li Wei, you’re too damn good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lu Ce wasn’t stopping—he kept walking forward and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me some lights... aim the spotlight right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","d861151278374516dd4a76936d5d1ffeca74aceb06d2bff8776b2d28876a776e","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-134","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-132",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
