A tremendous force struck her in the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremendous impact then sent a mass of black light crashing into the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce glanced at the scene but didn't pursue. Instead, he turned to face the numerous players behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I've given you all enough face during today's East Sea Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Game's over—there's something more fun waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hope everyone...\" His gaze swept across the crowd below, \"...is fully prepared!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a metal sphere suddenly expanded with the wind, transforming into a motorcycle that roared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce flipped onto the vehicle without hesitation or nostalgia—there was nothing worth lingering for anyway—and sped away toward the Pacific Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know exactly where he was going, but the priority was putting distance between himself and these people before preparing to enter the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining players exchanged bewildered looks. Top-tier players like Perfect Life and Sun didn't waste words either, immediately disappearing to prepare for the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the remaining Illuminati members locked eyes with the Dragon Group from across the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Next game begins in: 00:11:53!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please make necessary preparations in advance.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please choose to participate as spectator or player.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Player!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a small Pacific island, Lu Ce randomly plunged into a patch of rainforest.

Lu Ce swiftly made his selection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Welcome, honored top player.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This session will utilize Game Version 2.0, featuring updated mechanics.

This was the last one—he needed full access to the masks' permissions to properly develop Overload capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he felt this process was already moving too slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then something completely unexpected happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting several seconds, the system notification delivered an absolutely absurd message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—[Sloth is too lazy to participate in battle.

Lu Ce's vision went dark as he entered another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Ce reopened his eyes, his surroundings had completely transformed. He now lay flat on an icy, mirror-smooth surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was small—about 20-30 square meters—but with extremely high ceilings. The walls displayed endless scrolling images of everyday objects, scenes, and basic items, like browsing some website's image database.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly ahead stood a glowing gateway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, passing through would lead to the actual game arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game's voice promptly announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Welcome all players to the thrilling competitive game—Life-and-Death Battleground!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You now have five minutes to memorize all wall patterns.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No further instructions—just these two simple lines, perfectly embodying CHOSEN'S PARADISE!'s distinctive style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was memorization time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lu Ce discovered he... didn't want to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the floor was painfully hard and cold, to him it felt like a premium mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So comfortable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With great effort, he rolled onto his side. Using the floor's reflective surface, he examined his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teal green...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Sloth (MIKU)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally... took you long enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce sighed with bitter amusement.

First priority was assessing his current status and the Sloth mask's properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right on cue, the Sloth mask's description appeared before him—and instantly left him stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No explanations or functions listed yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a single heading:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Player Advisory.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sloth Mask Side Effects Listing:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to Lu Ce's utter disbelief, an extensive catalog of wildly varied side effects unfolded before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",868,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c99c8a13b1404e485bd2212d4dd94f6249124c54d702f3bdd0807a62eca578e","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-369","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-367",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
