What’s this, you want to leave?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime turned its head, voice tinged with amusement, and spoke to the person who had just asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-yes! Worst case, I lose something—I’ll bet on it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker had two stars on him, looking like he’d just been dragged out of the ocean—completely soaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply scared stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t played many games total. Those two stars came from the Ladder of Life game with Lu Ce, where he earned them by placing high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had absolutely no desire to keep playing. This game had scared him to his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In here, it was either insanely powerful lunatics, skeletons scarier than ghosts, or scheming top-tier players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with madness, death, pain—and now that the game had finally ended, he couldn’t take any more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh? You want to leave?】 the Slime asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-yeah yeah yeah.....”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even finish the last “yeah,” the floor vanished beneath his feet, and he dropped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not he had time to use his Exit Token—nobody knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The exit I mentioned earlier was for the previous segment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【As for now, I haven’t said anything yet. Why is everyone so impatient?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Anyone else want to leave right now?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single person spoke up. The Slime’s sudden personality shift and cruel methods stunned everyone into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, someone it couldn’t intimidate was never planning to leave anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright, no one speaking up—haha—but honestly, I can tell most of you are already getting bored.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If you want to leave, fine by me. I’m too lazy to stop you. But before we end the game, there’s one final little segment.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Let’s play it together.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it spoke, it waved its hand, and five beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping five people on the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of how brutally it had done the “zero-frame starter” move earlier, four of them immediately pulled out their Exit Tokens—nearly bailing on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, things were different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Relax, we’re already in the next phase now.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime continued, and everyone’s eyes sharpened. Among the five light beams—“Sin” was one of those caught in the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also caught was Li Wei, the one previously said to be “under protection” by the Slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright, like I said at the very start—if you’re truly here to play, then even if you lose in this game, that doesn’t mean it’s all bad.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I stand by my words. You five are the players who “spent” the most stars in the previous games.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Those willing to take risks in the game—even if they fail—are respectable players. So in the next phase, you are protected. You won’t be chosen in the vote.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce didn’t react much to that. He glanced around. No need to explain his case—he’d lost 725 stars, not to mention others before that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wei started with five stars, now had zero—he just had to arm-wrestle with Lu Ce, and lost in a hilariously tragic way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three—either longtime unluckies, reckless high-stake gamblers, or folks who just went too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them wore expressions of surprise—none of them expected to get a bonus like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce, however, frowned, looked up at the lights, and the Purple Mask showed a very displeased expression. (︶^︶)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime caught on instantly, quickly waved a hand to turn the light covering Lu Ce into purple, and fawningly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【How’s this? Your light is unique in the entire venue!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” Lu Ce nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the big boss was pleased, the Slime let out a breath of relief and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alright, next comes the game rules—listen up, everyone. It’s a very simple game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Voting!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【How’s that? Pretty simple, right?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【No minigame, no bet—in just a few seconds, each of you will see a number appear above your head.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then, each of you will submit a number—your vote—for the person you find the most boring and annoying in this game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【After all, this is a joyful casino. Anyone who brings down the vibe doesn’t belong here.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【......】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Slime even finished its sentence, nearly everyone turned their eyes toward “Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their meaning was practically written across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hey hey hey, did you all forget what I just said?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Those five—because they spent the most stars—are protected in this round of voting. No numbers will appear over their heads.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Of course, they still get to vote.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Once all votes are tallied, the five players with the most votes... hehe, might have to say goodbye. The sea is waiting for you.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slime grinned nastily, then looked at everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Got the rules?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Countdown: five minutes. Begin!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the game began, based on each player’s current star count, a number appeared over each person’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well now—it was clear at a glance who had many stars and who had few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all happened too fast. As the game-start sound dropped, Xie Antong was completely numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of wild plot twist was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the h*ll would come up with rules like these? Well, okay, the Slime wasn’t human anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this kind of vote—it didn’t match the name of the game at all. Ocean Casino...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voting out the five most disliked people—honestly, who had personal grudges at this point? Especially when “Sin” was under protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone here was a competitor from the same phase—there weren’t deep connections—so who would they vote out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d definitely vote out the players with the most stars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not forget, her 15 stars were mostly won from these same people...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers were oh-so-helpfully arranged by star count. That big glowing “1” floated above her head, like it was afraid people wouldn’t notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong realized at least a dozen people had turned their gaze toward her—and without hiding it, started writing down a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment like this, the All-Seeing Eye was utterly useless. She couldn’t think of any way to escape this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blankly, she took out her Exit Token.\u003C\u002Fp>",1008,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","8a4b39312d380bc87c8b57fb236c93ec1e4fe1aa27300cb24b2749563d5b8737","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-139","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-137",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
