When Lu Ce heard this, he was completely stunned, his brows furrowed instantly, finding it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So direct? Not even a hint of a buffer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the Chosen’s Game would eventually affect the real world—this was basically a consensus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how exactly it would affect things, and how it would show up, had always been guesswork. No one had any concrete idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since it was only just starting to have an impact on the real world, logic would suggest that the effect should build up gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, just as the impact began… it was descending into reality already?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of move was this? An apocalyptic drop-off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce thought for a moment and mumbled strangely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a sec, what about items and scenes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like lava, the Black Sea—tons of things that simply don’t exist in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if the game descends into the real world, what happens to all that? Are they gonna remodel entire cities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t that just plunge the whole world into chaos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce couldn’t shake this sense of impending doom, but after thinking it through a little, he felt like that was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could actually reshape cities on Earth at will, then back when he tried to get a few Little Blacks into the game, it wouldn’t have been so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, the game’s modifications to cities wouldn’t be that extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, the main competition in the next game… is probably between players.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe even between players and people from the outside world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was thinking that, the game sent out another update.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something seemed to explode deep in his mind—an image of Earth appeared as a hologram, suddenly expanding, then shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless red dots lit up on it, blinking like some kind of special warning markers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please be advised: the following 100 cities are candidates for the game’s descent.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【In three days, ten cities will be chosen as trial sites for the great game.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Players selected to enter these cities will be the lucky ones. We suggest everyone give it a shot. Since spots are limited, most players will still join the regular game as usual.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This is a heads-up—please prepare yourselves.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The game welcomes players, and we believe the world will welcome players too.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chosen’s Paradise always used such confusing slogans, and there was never any attempt to negotiate with humanity. After the announcement, the game interface finally quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you thought about it carefully, it kinda felt like a marketing ploy—like they were trying to hype players into joining the game…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce looked at the red dots and started searching with his phone to check which cities they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even heard of a lot of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cities had really distinct regional traits—like Yakutsk and Bangkok.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s coldest and hottest cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were areas with unique terrain, climates, or rainforest-type zones. At a glance, they looked like natural game maps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some of them—Lu Ce could tell at a glance—would be a nightmare for the local governments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those were cities with massive populations and strong economic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chicago, Tokyo, Melbourne, Athens…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of these were even national capitals. If the game suddenly descended there, it’d be a huge mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feels like Chosen’s Paradise is starting to bare its fangs to the world…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Not my problem! Let the meat-eaters think about that stuff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After frowning for a bit, Lu Ce decisively stopped thinking about it. It wasn’t even certain he’d be assigned anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he was, as long as he wasn’t sent to somewhere in Huaguo, that’d be a win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already confirmed that, among the hundred candidates, only two were in Huaguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an island city, the other he suspected was due to the Shennongjia region…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, that was already pretty lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his Dice of Fate from his Two-World Backpack, deciding to give it a try—but of course, not using himself as the primary target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over briefly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I summon the Black Knight later, he’ll immediately start running his mouth, and his first sentence will include ‘hello.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually made a harmless prediction just to test it, then tossed the dice into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dice spun a bit, then landed on the ground with a one showing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dice of Fate, roll: 1.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【It seems the gears of fate have jammed. Negative effect.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce didn’t really get it, but he didn’t care. He just threw out the metal ball—Black Knight, descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metal reshaped with creaking sounds, like a Transformer. That badass motorcycle instantly took over the whole room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Long time no see! You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started talking the second he appeared, couldn’t even hold it back. His mouth was already moving, but just as he was about to say “hello,” something went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his massive size, his positioning was a bit off during expansion—the rear wheel landed on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the tight space, it was hard to transform properly. His body twisted awkwardly in midair and collapsed toward Lu Ce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that split second, Lu Ce didn’t even have time to react. Seeing that huge thing falling his way, he instinctively lifted a leg and kicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, s**t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight was heavy as hell, but Lu Ce’s strength was even scarier. One kick sent him flying, crashing sideways into the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, s**t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight couldn’t finish his line. All he could do was curse in frustration, lying there pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seriously, what kind of birds**t nowhere are you living in? Can you get a bigger room or what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he reverted back into the metal ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stared for a moment, then looked down at the dice on the floor. Despite all that commotion, the dice hadn’t even flipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gears of fate… a 1-point negative effect… caused him to not say “hello”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was fate in action?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t that just from my kick?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","112a96c4601b682edb41bfed11aa8d21b63f242dd23a9f2d0bc2506db80a30f5","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-158","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-156",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
