Chapter 121: Li Wei, Tiandihui Sends You Greetings
A green protective shield enveloped the slot machine room, protecting everyone and everything in that area, and also blocked Lu Ce’s attack.
That green film looked weightless, like a layer of light.
It rippled like water at that moment, completely neutralizing the power of Lu Ce’s shot, slowly fading into nothingness.
【Ah, the rules inside the casino are still rules, they can’t be casually changed. “Sin”, let’s talk things out, why do you always have to resort to violence?】
Slime twisted its body and waved its hand again, undoing the damage from Lu Ce’s previous shot fired at the ceiling.
It was like time had reversed. The hole in the ceiling instantly restored, just like it had never happened.
Effortless!
The green film vanished, as if nothing had happened. Slime kept wriggling as it spoke:
【Alright, alright, let’s leave it at that.】
【Don’t ruin everyone’s gaming vibe. Let’s keep going, keep the music playing, keep gambling!】Slime looked all cheerful, as if nothing was wrong at all.
But everyone else was stunned. Except for “Sin”, almost everyone stared at that blob of green in disbelief.
This thing... is that strong?!
From all its past behavior, everyone thought it was just an in-game NPC, maybe holding some in-game privileges or rules.
But from the way it was simping for the strongest player from the start, flipping moods depending on who it faced…
Opportunistic, playing favorites—it had always come across as annoying.
Nobody expected this.
【: Now this is what a Hell Mode Game should be like. Every entity in it is no ordinary thing.】
【: I knew it, this nasty green snot blob definitely isn’t something simple.】
【: So now the real question is—between him and the strongest player, who’s more powerful......】
The mindset of the viewers and players was different. The viewers were just here for the drama, wanting simple comparisons.
But the players in the scene, after a brief shock, all looked away, heads down, avoiding eye contact with Slime.
They were all extremely wary.
Especially the man in green, who felt like he’d just brushed past death. He ran off immediately, trying his best to get out of “Sin’s” line of sight.
He didn’t even know when he’d pissed the guy off. He was just playing slots properly and still got shot at.
Only “Sin” seemed to have known about Slime’s strength from the start. He let out a light chuckle, then looked at Yan Hong.
Yan Hong had just snapped out of his daze, staring blankly at “Sin,” then shouted in protest:
“Hey wait, what are you doing?!”
“We already agreed on the bet earlier—the terms of the gamble weren’t supposed to be known by him.”
“What?” Lu Ce gave him a glance. “He knows now?”
“No! I mean....” Yan Hong choked, momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
“But... does this even count?”
Lu Ce ignored him, leisurely ate a piece of beef, and then, attended by the Fake, started wiping his hands again.
Two Stars burned away from Yan Hong’s chest, while on Lu Ce’s side, two stars appeared out of thin air.
No need to say more. The result was clear.
Yan Hong: ......
Just as he was stunned into silence, a voice suddenly came from the side.
“Yeah, how could you possibly beat the great strongest player? You really overestimated yourself.”
Turning his head, Yan Hong saw that it was the same guy who’d talked back to “Sin” earlier—the one with the perpetually gloomy face.
Yan Hong instantly frowned and replied a bit stiffly:
“What do you want?”
“Oh, nothing. Just came to mock your overconfidence. Everyone here knows betting against the strongest player is just asking to die.”
The guy’s words were sharp, unpleasant to hear. It sounded like he was insulting Yan Hong while praising Lu Ce, but anyone with half a brain would find the tone disturbing.
Yan Hong instinctively disliked him, frowned again, and was about to speak, but the guy had already turned toward Lu Ce.
“Going against the strongest player—even if it’s just flipping a coin, I believe he can make it stand on its edge.”
“Don’t you agree?”
The gloomy man stared at Sin with an unnerving smile.
Next second, a gunshot rang out. Lu Ce flicked his Hell Roar, fired directly at the coin—blasting straight through it!
That shot grazed the man’s fingernail, which started to smoke slightly at the tip.
Slime turned slightly, but did nothing else. Clearly, that didn’t trigger his intervention.
The gloomy man froze, staring at his smoking nail, not saying a word for a while.
“Heh,” Lu Ce wiped his Hell Roar and looked at the man.
“If you want to play with me.”
“Come up with something more interesting.”
The man’s expression instantly returned to normal. He tossed away the coin and laughed loudly:
“Who would dare? How could I risk angering you?”
“Everyone knows there’s no winning against you. Best option is to stay far, far away.”
He said that loud enough for others to hear—less like talking to Lu Ce, more like sending a message to the rest.
“By the way, I wonder if you still remember me. I’m Li Wei. I actually sent you a challenge request.”
“But my ranking was only in the top ten thousand, not top one hundred, so you picked that dumb*ss Park Bu-cheng instead.”
“Which was honestly lucky for me. If I’d been chosen, I’d probably be dead meat.”
Li Wei kept talking, but his face didn’t show any fear. In fact, there was a bit of a mad gleam in his eyes—like a total sociopath.
Under the mask, Lu Ce frowned slightly. He didn’t remember the guy, but back then, aside from Park Bu-cheng, some other top ten-thousand players did try challenging him.
Then, Hell Roar lifted—aimed right at Li Wei’s head.
“What, you here today to fix your regret from last time?”
But this time, Li Wei looked like a man on a suicide mission. He didn’t dodge or flinch. His eyes were steady, fearless, as he stared at Lu Ce and calmly said:
“I’m just here to tell you one thing. Or rather, one sentence.”
“Tiandihui sends you greetings!”
“Also, Tiandihui sincerely invites you to join.”
