Game time’s up! All games end immediately! Any ongoing bets stop right now!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the little ball finally came to rest in a groove, the three-hour game time happened to end right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime controlled the timer to hit zero, then loudly announced it, doing his part as the Game Host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【What a pity. Our player “Sin” wasn’t chosen by Lady Luck at the last moment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【But although he lost 725 stars, he gained joy! He’s undoubtedly the best player in the world!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【So far, even though his stars are gone, it’s clear he was the first here to chase thrills and fun.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Let’s all give him a round of applause.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, it started clapping and cheering, as if praising “Sin” for his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, many of the audience misinterpreted what it said—as mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Is this what they call the true master of sarcasm?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: That sarcasm is on another level, this Slime’s got a way with words.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Ha! Totally crashed and burned. Still wanted to play with 725 stars? Became the strongest player and let it get to his head. Regret it now, huh!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones clapping with the Slime were the Skeletal Fakes. The other players remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, one more person clapped—Lu Ce himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, what a shame. How did I not pull it off again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a pity, points down to zero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce clapped while speaking, but though his words sounded regretful, his face didn’t show it at all. The smile beneath the Purple Mask only grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, no one’s cheering? Shouldn’t we be a little happy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce glanced around the room, smiling as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lost, and no one’s gloating? What’s wrong with all of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he even seemed a little annoyed. The brows on his Purple Mask furrowed as he scanned the crowd, even locking onto Li Wei at one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like he was waiting for him to kick him while he was down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wei: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after a few rounds of back-and-forth from the Slime and Lu Ce, the numb crowd slowly emerged from the abyss of the gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that instant, everyone’s emotions exploded like a timebomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some finally realized “Sin” had failed at the last step, and pumped their fists like they’d won a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were filled with deep regret—for losing everything over those three hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even collapsed to the ground in tears—no one knew exactly why they cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful quietly let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t gotten involved in any of “Sin”’s games, nor had they been roped into anything by people like Xie Antong. They’d played cautiously—some didn’t even play at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, their star count still hovered around three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to most people who’d lost everything, their situation was actually pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright, please control your emotions. We’re moving on to the next segment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the crowd more or less settled, the Slime didn’t waste time and spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if he dragged it out, he was afraid “Sin” would start roasting him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Originally, this game was supposed to be a welfare round—something to bring you joy and excitement.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【But look at you guys. Not taking the game seriously, and now you're either full of resentment or totally on edge. Not fun at all.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hehe, of course I don’t mean you.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That last line was directed at Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stayed silent—no one responded to what the Slime said, mostly because there was nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right after that, everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime’s tone suddenly turned eerie and deranged as he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【So, I’m quite disappointed in most of you.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Now, the ten players who participated in the fewest games... I might have to ask you to leave...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, before anyone could react, the floor beneath nine people suddenly opened up. Without a single word, they plummeted into the pitch-black depths below!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no warning, no prior signal—those nine people had zero mental preparation, not even an Exit Token ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during the fall, trying to use one was just too hard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, they were silently swallowed by the Black Sea. No one knew what happened to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned. No one had expected such an instant-death punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first person to feel dread was Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly seen that those nine weren’t the ones with the lowest star counts. One of them even had four stars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the game’s criteria might not be based solely on star count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, with her holding the highest count at 15 stars, it felt like a hot potato. A bad omen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hmm? Why only nine?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime looked a bit confused, scanning the room before locking eyes with Li Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh right, there’s you too. But you’re under protection at the moment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wei paused, not quite understanding what that meant, but the Slime didn’t explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Well then, we’ll move on. Eleventh person with the fewest games—goodbye.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor under another player cracked open. But after what had just happened, he was mentally prepared. His Exit Token flashed, and he left the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost everything—but at least he kept his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now... now can we say... people with more than three stars should exit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dead silence, a trembling voice asked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f51bcdac2ad91c6cd29d6ed26e513c6af09973d2603df2fba73be704fc71b42","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-138","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-136",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
