She just felt awed without knowing why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been thinking about it for a long time, but the tide of negative emotions was about to drown her—there was no time left to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could do was record every scene she could, and wait to analyze it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, she had already been overwhelmed by that tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So pathetic… why did I lose again… I’ll never fool anyone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was my birth a mistake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just wanna be a snail curled up in the dirt…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the mental backlash was much worse than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That complete loss of rationality, the overwhelming contrast—it had left her utterly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mental collapse triggered physical laziness. Hugging her knees, she curled up in her chair, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of intense depression, inexplicable sorrow, and despair crashed down on her, even giving her a sudden urge to end her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe I should just die already…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she had anticipated this state under normal conditions. The whole room was soundproofed and had all sorts of safety measures in place, with doors and windows sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the overwhelming helplessness made her too tired to move, so at least she wouldn’t really kill herself just because the game ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, she also saw that “Sin” had accepted her friend request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He accepted? He probably cleared the game perfectly again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he’s here to mock me… no, wait, someone like him wouldn’t even bother mocking me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After trying so hard, I’m still just a clown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just let me die…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she had no ability to think for herself—just pure emo, and she’d need time to digest it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows what she’d think of her own behavior once she recovered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, Lu Ce had completed his recovery and was about to fully exit the game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he already had three Two-World Backpacks, after thinking for a moment, he decided to take his Mysterious Cloak and that motorcycle with him, along with that dice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lu Ce drifted off into sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he woke up again, Lu Ce found himself back in his shabby little room, like he had entered another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gotta admit, the in-game recovery was top-tier welfare—his whole body felt amazing, like he had just had the best sleep ever, and his condition had peaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The game has ended. Please stay tuned for changes on the Peak Ranking.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【There may be some adjustments to the next game. Please stay tuned.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the end of a new game, everyone's Peak Rankings had naturally shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the early stages of this kind of game, where the gaps between players weren’t huge—each new game reshuffled the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the last thirty players in the top 100, nearly all were replaced! Those from behind had caught up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the top-ranked players, there were some minor changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Lu Ce noticed with a glance that the self-proclaimed Tiandihui boss, “Sun,” had moved from eighth to seventh place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up by one rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a few names among the top players had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew if they used an Exit Token, chose not to participate, or died in the game…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, among them, the name “Sin” remained absolutely unshakable—first place again for the second round in a row!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even second and third places had swapped, but he didn’t budge an inch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His videos had been seen by many. Globally, there wasn’t much debate about “Sin’s” ranking anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when it came to his number of consecutive Perfect Completions—Lu Ce had 5!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5 consecutive Perfect Completions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kicker? Including the beginner stage, Chosen’s Paradise only had four stages total!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for five was simple—Lu Ce had also cleared one Challenge Mode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he chose Hell Mode and completely dominated, it also counted as a Perfect Completion in Challenge Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, his 5-consecutive Perfect Completion streak was an unmatched miracle in the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce’s eyes scanned the data of a few other top players and, seeing that no one had challenged his position, he closed the game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his tiny room, he instinctively picked up his phone and saw a message from Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce paused and touched his face—only then did he remember that right now, he was supposed to be “Lu Ce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not “Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after reading the message, he couldn’t help but pause again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: What do you think is the meaning of being alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was her side effect, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: Laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: Screenshot saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saving the blackmail material, and seeing she didn’t plan to reply, Lu Ce chuckled and started casually browsing the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s focus was about the same—how dangerous the game was, and whether to join in future rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, interest in “Sin” was always high. But because the final battle with the Slime wasn’t viewable by spectators, lots of people were confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what happened at the end, yet “Sin” pulled off another Perfect Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that imagery of organs casually falling out had already left psychological scars on many viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went on, people’s excitement for the game gradually started outweighing their fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Lu Ce noticed some posts saying that things from the game had started appearing in reality and affecting the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like in one horror-themed game, after a player exited, they found a pair of embroidered shoes at their front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed out from the shock and were rushed to the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like his little mosquito test with those 30 bites hit exactly the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【All players, please take note!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the voices of the game echoed in the minds of billions of Chosen Ones, startling even Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Now announcing the latest notice regarding the next game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【As everyone knows, each game in Chosen’s Paradise features different difficulties and contents.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【To make things more thrilling, we’ve made some adjustments to the next game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Some games… will now take place in the real world! Chosen’s Paradise is temporarily descending into the cities!】\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","111d79161bc9c5cad0da1d909642477c63baadadac027d5e94a4fb94be6ecced","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-157","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-155",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
