Why did I even sacrifice my own father! And yet you still try to stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain Currency generally couldn’t be held by others, but it could be inherited by blood relatives upon one’s death. This led to a pain tradition known as the \"Sacrificing Father and Mother\" style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were also those who sacrificed their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu now understood why Virtual 04 asked if his mother was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone here has self-healing abilities, presumably, I will too in this environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the Scorpio’s cheat knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife itself was very sharp, having evolved from a Spanish Ham Knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought for a moment and decided to go with the flow, so he used the tip of the knife... to lift his own fingernail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense pain instantly made him feel a certain force emerging around him, but the next moment, this force transformed into a numerical value of currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the top-right corner of Wen Xishu’s vision, a small UI appeared, showing a number — 51 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cutting off fingers was painful, the ten fingers being linked to the heart made lifting a nail a technique learnt from ancient punishment. There’s also acupuncture...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These methods were ones Wen Xishu really didn’t want to use on himself and didn’t want to become a pain-loving lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the Pain Auction made everyone covet the auction items, it was evident that these items might truly bring something transformative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A necklace was also easy to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t necessarily need to compete with all of you for every item. Think twice if you want to compete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wen Xishu spoke these words, slight changes started to happen in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the top-left corner of his vision, a number appeared... 0.8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed this represented pain tolerance. In other words, he became less sensitive to pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, 0.8 was nearly equivalent to having no pain tolerance for most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu considered another aspect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an invitation; if I use it now... and go directly to the source of the Desire Tower and kill the mysterious origin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would that dissolve the rules of pain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before that, I could use these rules to hone myself. Use pain to acquire good things and increase my pain tolerance, so I can be immune to part of the pain in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this, Wen Xishu felt he could stay in the Deceit Tower for a while. There was no need to go to the Desire Tower immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"51 points once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"51 points twice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"51 points three times! Sold! Congratulations to you, the newcomer, for obtaining this item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Virtual 04 led Wen Xishu to the auction stage to collect the Pain Necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Half-Headed Ghost approached Wen Xishu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, congratulations on obtaining the most valuable auction item in my eyes.\" The white-bearded Half-Headed Ghost’s gaze was not malicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Yoshida Take. My appearance has led everyone to call me the Half-Headed Ghost. Kid, would you make a deal with me?\" The Half-Headed Ghost was very sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead and talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction was still ongoing. The item being auctioned this time was a syringe shaped like an ouroboros; after injection, it could convert mental pain into physical pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, one becomes numb and devoid of emotions. But physical pain tolerance will be reshaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people began bidding frantically. Seeing that Wen Xishu was not interested, everyone started vying for this treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu naturally wasn’t interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to become an emotionless monster. In his view, human emotions shouldn’t be erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for many present, mental pain was too tormenting. They preferred to become numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Headed Ghost said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandson is an unfortunate fellow, born with intellectual disabilities that made everything he did unsuccessful. He was ridiculed as a child and looked down upon by teachers and classmates in middle school. As an adult, he couldn’t get a wife or find a good job... but he didn’t mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Under our guidance, he slowly improved, starting with simple errands and managed to live quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We once heard that in Rendong Village—no, it was called District 19 at the time—there was a miracle doctor who could cure all sorts of ailments, so we wanted to cure him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when we arrived, District 19 had turned into what is now the terrifying Rendong Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandson... became a Rendong under the dreadful curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Headed Ghost’s fist clenched, and pain currency appeared on his body again. It’s worth noting that pain transformed into currency doesn’t disappear immediately but lingers for a while, though this process doesn’t generate additional currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Headed Ghost was clearly submerged in the sorrow of losing his grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his grandson had congenital defects, the Half-Headed Ghost loved him dearly. Raising such a child in the harsh urban environment of Hujiang so he could support himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effort put in was naturally hard for ordinary people to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I quickly adapted to this system of pain rules, exhausted a lot of currency, but there are too many self-torturing maniacs here, even if I smashed my head into magma and lost half of it... I still often couldn’t make it to Rendong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",921,"2026-06-03T11:12:51.972Z","2026-06-03T11:12:56.632Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f69d55946acf5cd93c23aea102c647880348f12e33004fae58d3c0c82440af9","three-towers-game-chapter-589","three-towers-game-chapter-587",1179,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthree-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
