I see you are already eager, ready to expose your most private parts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are also looking forward to this pain tester providing new values! This time, the mysterious Pain Auction has updated with several new items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, the initial pain values required are very high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auctioneer wore a suit, though he didn’t need to. His current appearance was like Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin, resembling a mummy more than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body was wrapped in bandages, due to experiencing extensive burns recently, for which he gained a massive amount of pain points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t waste any more words. Everyone, let’s look at the first auction item: a bottle of pain-induced wine produced by the auction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bottle of wine is said to make one recall immense painful memories with each drop, making one live in an intoxicated stupor, yet feeling life isn’t worth living.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle of Japanese sake was placed on the auction platform, eliciting cheers from the whole audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wine that can induce mental anguish, isn’t this just an energy booster?\" a heavily tattooed man exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I drink this wine, I won’t need to self-mutilate for a while!\" said an old man, whose ten fingers were all gone, replaced by steel needles inserted into his palms, as if to substitute for his lost digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such an explosive item right from the start! This auction might have some incredible treasures!\" said a one-eyed teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bandaged auctioneer was very pleased with the audience’s reaction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I would love to give this bottle to a brave soul to eliminate the Ren Cave and bring peace to Hujiang, unfortunately, the Pain Auction’s rule is: highest pain points win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The starting bid for this wine is twelve pain points!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon the auctioneer’s announcement, the audience fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve pain points...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s equivalent to the pain of having a tooth extracted without anesthesia, assuming their bodies weren’t physically trained to handle pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is the starting price so high?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who can manage that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t it too high... my whole body is already as tough as iron, it only leaves that place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People began to discuss amongst themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a teenager with determined eyes stood firm. He didn’t speak, but Wen Xishu saw the barrage messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My superpower allows me to perceive surrounding creatures. I can overlook the low-dimensional world like a higher-dimensional being... I have a mini-map in my mind, I can clearly perceive everyone’s position, so I don’t need eyes...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I bear the hope of my entire village! I cannot fall here!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought, what a long barrage message, these Hujiang people are quite dramatic inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Watch closely everyone! This is a once-in-a-lifetime man’s resolve!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teenager suddenly raised his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This item! It’s mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone looked at him, he relished in the feeling of being the center of attention:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Tanaka Shouta, will be the hero to eliminate the Ren Cave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Tanaka Shouta’s hand stabbed into his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyeballs burst, flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and the gush of churning flesh made Wen Xishu feel a dual illusion of pain both visually and audibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So ruthless... this pain setting, if made into a movie, would surely satisfy many curiosity seekers. Rokkasho is still too conservative. Hujiang is the ultimate top card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once handsome boy, in the next moment, had turned into an ugly person with no eyes, his face appearing as if only two bloody whirlpools remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the overwhelming power brought by immense pain, the teenager’s body quickly began to recover...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the bloody whirlpools started to fill up, and the two bloody holes where flesh was gouged out began to rapidly heal, with the face eventually becoming smooth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, a face devoid of eyes, leaving only a nose, mouth, and ears, emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No... impossible, why can’t I see! My higher-dimensional perception was clearly in my mind, why is it suddenly gone!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was panicking, but without eyes, no one could discern what expression he was making.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the auctioneer exclaimed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty pain points! Oh my god, thirty pain points! Including thirteen physical pain points, and seventeen mental pain points! Oh, Shouta! You were deeply afraid of losing those eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu didn’t know whether to sympathize or to mock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Tanaka Shouta, the pain of gouging out his eyes, only amounted to thirteen points...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining seventeen points were from realizing he lost his superpower after removing his eyes, a mental anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How ironic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creator of these pain rules always seemed like someone filled with malice towards the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu glanced around... there wasn’t a single healthy person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A truly grotesque world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone willing to bid higher! Thirty points!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty points once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty points twice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty points...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the hammer was about to fall, a man with only half a head appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I too wish to give it a try, such fine liquor, how could an old drunkard like me pass it up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly elderly man had a white beard, but half his head was gone, allegedly lost in a fight with someone who had magma manipulation abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly man punched his own chest with tremendous force, creating a hole through which his beating heart was removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My superpower can cancel certain death links, like not dying from a missing heart or a missing head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",914,"2026-06-03T11:12:51.972Z","2026-06-03T11:12:56.632Z",1,"novelbin.me","850b777bb6624dd4444f3f618c6fc96cbc316269c7a4e45f7078255e2deb31cb","three-towers-game-chapter-586","three-towers-game-chapter-584",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
