Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 169: Night Falls, Masters Gather

The passerby player stared dumbfounded at the face on his chest, at the guy who suddenly leaned in and started shouting.

He still couldn't quite accept it — he was already... eliminated?

That easily?

Until no more sounds came through his ears, Lu Ce finally stopped talking and slowly stood up.

"Ah~ looks like the full-map voice broadcast time is really limited, seriously stingy..."

"You, congratulations, you're lucky to have met me so early."

The passerby’s face turned livid with anger. He hadn’t done anything and was directly eliminated — and he had to thank him?!

"Congratulations?!"

"Yeah! Of course congratulations," Lu Ce said naturally, "You have to understand, this is a Hell Mode Game. Under normal circumstances, if you’re eliminated, you're dead."

"But you were extremely lucky to meet the great and merciful me, so you can stand here alive, safely exiting the game’s turmoil at the very start. You just have to wait for the game to end now."Passerby: ......

"So, you see, shouldn't you be thanking me."

Passerby: "Then... thanks?"

Maybe it was because Lu Ce’s words were too self-righteous, the passerby's brain twitched and he subconsciously said it.

Facing the eerie, somewhat frightening smile on the Blue Mask, he didn’t know how "Sin" could even say the words "great and merciful" with a straight face.

"Hey~ Bro, great kindness needs no thanks!"

Lu Ce immediately took advantage, replying very shamelessly, even using the phrase "great kindness needs no thanks" himself.

Wasn't that supposed to be the other guy’s line?!

"I think, since I'm being such a good guy, how about you buy an Exit Token? Then you can leave at any time."

Lu Ce said seriously, then pulled out a golden coin from his Backpack.

At this point, Lu Ce had five Exit Tokens already. He was seriously wealthy now, though he still didn’t know why every Perfect Completion awarded him so many Exit Tokens.

Looking at the Exit Token handed over by "Sin," the passerby’s expression turned extremely complicated.

Only "Sin," or rather the "Sin" behind the Greed Mask, could think of doing business even in a Hell Mode Game.

"I already have an Exit Token. Seems like there's no need to buy yours......"

Hearing such an uncooperative reply, Lu Ce immediately looked displeased and patted the passerby on the shoulder.

"Hey, you’re a little out of line, bro. The Exit Token you have and the Exit Token I have — obviously they’re not the same."

The passerby hadn’t reacted yet, curiously and innocently asked:

"Hmm? What's the difference?"

At this moment, Lu Ce was like a drunkard, swaying and muttering:

"If you buy my Exit Token, then you won't need to use it. You can just obediently wait until the end of the game and leave without losing anything."

"But if you don't buy it, uh, you might soon need to use your own Exit Token."

Passerby player: ?

After thinking for a second, his whole face flushed purple with anger. Was there even such a way to talk?!

【: Hahahaha! Awesome, pure extortion.】

【: I actually thought about it just now, really thought there was some difference with the Exit Tokens.】

【: LOL, this shameless vibe, it’s so familiar — this Mask must be an old acquaintance......】

The audience laughed themselves silly. Watching from outside the game, they couldn’t feel the psychological devastation of the passerby player.

Meanwhile, feeling the increasing pressure on his shoulder, the passerby realized he had no way out. There was no point arguing.

He directly started bargaining — no choice, he still had to pay up.

Who told him to be so unlucky, encountering this devil right at the start.....

In the end, after some haggling, Lu Ce "fairly and reasonably" traded with him and got a Skill Learning Scroll.

Trying to rob everything wasn't realistic. If he asked for too much, the guy might have just used his Exit Token and fled.

Players now had some skills. Making someone unable to use even an Exit Token was a bit difficult.

【Special Skill: Bloodhound.】

【Grade: Powerful Skill, Learning requires Spirit Value: 5!】

Hmm, same grade as his Scholar’s Right Hand, not bad. And it required a lot of Spirit Value to learn......

Lu Ce didn’t waste time. He flipped himself onto Black Knight.

Since he’d made his full-map declaration, he naturally needed to act.

"Tch, by the way, shouldn’t a full-map first kill come with a reward?"

While picking where to go next, he muttered under his breath, as if he always felt he wasn't getting enough.

One hour in, and already the first player had been eliminated. In others' eyes, it was terrifyingly fast — after all, this wasn’t some battle royale game; everyone valued their life heavily.

But Lu Ce still thought — one hour, way too slow.....

Looking up, he spotted the most iconic building nearby within his field of vision.

——Tokyo Tower.

"This is it!"

Almost at the same time, Black Knight started sprinting toward the target. Having the Mechanical Heart seemed to give him a natural tacit understanding with Lu Ce.

Night was gradually falling, but it didn’t bring stillness.

A Battle Royale like this was meant to be played at night — Tokyo’s real face was the night one, with its brightly lit light pollution even more glaring than in the daytime.

"This city... smells like it's about to boil over...."

Riding Black Knight, Lu Ce smiled behind his mask, with lights flowing across it.

"Your nose is amazing, how the h*ll did you smell that? Man, you’re really good at talking crap," Black Knight grumbled beneath him.

"I can't smell anything. All I smell is gasoline....."

"By the way, why are we going to that tower? Gonna tear it down?"

Lu Ce: ......

Lu Ce didn’t respond. In fact, when he made that declaration using the passerby player, it hadn’t been planned.

He himself didn’t even remember what he had said — something about letting everyone know where he was.

But he believed:

As long as there were Masters still in this game,

As long as there were players who hadn’t been scared off by his reputation,

They would definitely come!

And at this moment, throughout this giant city, pairs of eyes gleaming with sharp light, powerful presences, all turned toward a single direction.

Among Masters, there's always a sense.

Lu Ce’s judgment was correct!
