Chapter 153: An Easy Fatal Blow, You’re Far from Being Unrestrained
As soon as those words fell, Jiu Tian outside the game shot up from his chair and couldn’t help but shout.
“Nice!”
Even someone like Jiu Tian could instantly grasp the brilliance in that question.
If there was any secret—or conspiracy—behind this suddenly descended game, then this question had definitely hit the other side’s fatal weakness!
And really, it was like he asked on behalf of all humanity!
As expected of our comrade. Sure, he’s usually kind of nuts, but when it counts, he’s got the awareness.
Only issue now was—how could a Slime, a Game Host, possibly know the answer to a question like this?
Jiu Tian’s concern was: if he didn’t know, then wasn’t it all pointless?
But clearly, he underestimated what kind of entity the Slime was—Lu Ce knew.
Last time, after killing that Female Doctor, the badge he earned was the Godslayer Badge...Sure enough, in the current game, the Slime’s expression turned incredibly stormy, face dark and ugly.
Clearly, Lu Ce’s question had struck a nerve, rattling him.
“Haha! Yes! That’s the look! Hold it right there!”
“Hey, anyone watching from outside? Take a screenshot for me, send it to me later.”
The Lust Mask’s wickedness and cruelty were well-known to everyone, and now that the Slime looked embarrassed, it was the perfect time for some ruthless mockery.
Saw the chance and immediately struck hard with sarcasm!
Seeing that the other side couldn’t give a response right away, Lu Ce immediately continued:
“Stop pretending, I know—you don’t dare to answer.”
“The game rule is: if you know and don’t answer, then I win.”
“You shameless thing even tried to change the rule—what’s that supposed to mean, ‘you know but don’t want to say,’ and all that crap about having no bottom line, trying to steer my thinking into your emotions.”
“But actually, there’s no need for any of that, right? I can totally ask questions you know but don’t dare to answer—what the h*ll does wanting to answer have to do with anything?”
Lu Ce was now full-on savage, completely calling out the Slime’s little mind games without mercy.
Watching the other’s expression, Lu Ce only laughed even more freely.
“Quit pretending. You don’t have the rank. There’s no way you’d dare answer something like this.”
“You’re just hoping that after telling me, I’ll die right here. Too bad—I’ve got an audience!”
“I don’t know about the others, but I do know there’s at least one creepy woman crawling in the dark watching my every move right now.”
Xie Antong: ?
Excuse me—why are you calling me out like that from inside the game?
How the h*ll do you know I’ve been observing you the whole time? Was I that obvious?
“This kind of explosive headline—once you say it, I know she’s gonna spread it everywhere. Even if you kill me, it’s useless.”
“Besides, I doubt you even have the right to say the real answer.”
“God, what a narcissist...” Xie Antong muttered outside, slightly speechless. But in truth, she had been recording the whole thing, just like every other game.
Meanwhile, Jiu Tian looked a little heartbroken, and the other workstation staff around him were watching with teasing eyes. Someone even piped up:
“Aww, looks like he totally forgot about you.”
“Not necessarily. When he let the mosquitoes loose earlier, didn’t he still think of him?”
“At least he didn’t call him that Show-Off Guy anymore.”
......
Back in the game, on the Ocean Casino, the Slime’s face looked absolutely awful. Faced with Lu Ce’s aggressive provocations, he had no counter.
In the end, he didn’t say a word—just stared at Lu Ce and reduced his own HP by one.
Now, he only had one HP drop left.
“Looks like it’s not that hard after all. Doesn’t seem nearly as one-sided as you made it sound at first.”
“Finishing you off is easy. You’re far from being as unrestrained as you claimed.”
Lu Ce wasn’t even surprised by this win. In fact, he looked like it was perfectly natural—like victory had always been expected.
The Slime’s entire green gelatinous body trembled, before he finally said:
【Taking me down may be simple—but not as simple as your life slipping away.】
As he spoke, he pointed at the slowly falling hourglass, which now seemed to symbolize the last flickers of life.
【You’ve already asked…the most excessive question.】
【People who collapse just before the finish line often feel more regret than those who die at the start, don’t you think?】
It had to be said—ever since Lu Ce entered the game, this was the closest he had come to death.
Unable to use Healing Potions, his powerful strength suppressed by high-ranking restrictions—he once again felt what it meant to be “small.”
But his execution and mindset had never wavered—not even once did he shrink back because of looming death.
Under the Lust Mask, he could experience any emotion—except panic.
“What’s the rush? There’s still time. I’m not dead yet. Chill.”
Lu Ce wasn’t in a hurry. He wanted to drag this out and earn more Pain Points. But life came first—he wasn’t Greed, and wouldn’t gamble that recklessly.
“Can you switch to a more human-looking form?”
“That way I can enjoy your expressions more. This blobby shape makes it hard to read.”
Slime: ......
No reply—but action was immediate. Its entire body shrank and shifted, eventually transforming into the Female Doctor from before!
Except this time, her outfit was still as revealing, but her whole body was green.
She frowned deeply at Lu Ce, like there was a huge grudge between them. Gone were the madness and carefree attitude from earlier.
As for her expression—hard to say. Her face was green after all, kind of hard to tell. Actually looked kind of funny.
The Slime didn’t want to talk anymore. She just completed the transformation and the punishment directly, then stared silently at the hourglass.
But what really frustrated her was this—she still hadn’t seen any change in Lu Ce’s mental state.
The Slime strongly suspected that even if the guy bled out and died here, he’d probably still die with that same arrogant look on his face...
The more she thought about it, the more that green face turned towards a steel-blue hue.
“All right, that’s enough. Keep playing and I really will die.....” Lu Ce muttered to himself, though it wasn’t clear who he was talking to.
“My next question.”
“From the perspective of ‘If I’m [Pain],’ in this game—am I one of a kind?”
