Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 602: The Polarization of Reputation, Jiang Yuan's Method of Finding People

The Black Knight said as it twisted its handlebars, "looking" toward Lu Ce.

It just happened to point the "Deathly Stillness Beam" cannon on its chest right at him......

"If something happens in version 3.0, you'll be the biggest scapegoat kid."

"What does that matter?" Lu Ce said indifferently. "Besides, what do you mean scapegoat? Wasn't it my responsibility to begin with?"

"Oh, no, I should say, this matter was originally my achievement!"

Black Knight: ......

"Putting that aside, your mental fortitude is truly exceptionally strong......"

Lu Ce ignored it, simply rolling off the exceptionally comfortable large bed and walking barefoot to the window.

"That wager agreement states that the Game cannot lose."

"For some reason, after seeing that sentence, I inexplicably feel my chances of winning are very high......""They are also not prepared!"

A smile gradually spread across his face. Although he wasn't wearing a mask, at this moment it was almost as if he had one on.

He opened the window, letting the outside sunlight stream in. In his former house, such sunlight was relatively rare.

"The weather is nice today."

......

"The weather is about to change......"

In the Dragon Group's basement, the Grand Elder looked at the final conclusion and muttered somewhat numbly to himself.

"This final statement, being pushed open by his own hand, doesn't seem quite right either," Xu Long also spoke up.

"All those questions asked before were themselves a kind of setup."

"That's not the key point at all!"

The Grand Elder said somewhat irritably.

"The key point is, the Game's new mode is actually selecting agents on a global scale, beginning a full-scale selection of Divine Messengers!"

"Something never heard of before. My Memory Palace has no record of such a situation. This might truly be a brand-new transformation......"

Hearing his words, the elders within the Dragon Group were all shocked, looking at him sideways. Xu Long asked:

"Your memory......"

The Grand Elder waved his hand, not elaborating further, and just continued.

"Moreover, what we've always worried about—the Game descending into reality—now seems about to happen."

"The selection that will take place the moment the Game finishes updating is global in scope."

"There's no such thing as a gradual process at all. The Game's descent into our world is starting with the highest specifications right from the beginning!"

As he spoke, the Grand Elder was already starting to have trouble continuing. Supporting his forehead, panting heavily, he gritted his teeth and said:

"It seems They... have always been prepared! There's no such thing as being unable to do it."

His memory might be the most complex, most chaotic storage system, consuming enormous energy.

Everyone looked at this elderly man who appeared to be under immense strain. Because he knew the most, even in this state, the final decisions still had to rely on him.

"Quickly instruct the Dragon Group to prepare according to nationwide combat readiness status!"

"We still don't know what the final form of the Game's descent will be, but we must still try to avoid large-scale chaos and casualties as much as possible. As long as the Dragon Group exists, the apocalypse cannot come so easily!"

"Also... if there's that so-called agent selection, you should all participate as well. Consider it observing what strange things the Game is up to."

The elders all assented, having no extra opinions. They glanced at the Grand Elder and then withdrew from the room one after another, trying not to disturb this elderly man who was in poor condition.

......

After announcing the version 3.0 preview, the Game's voice fell silent, but the released content caused an uproar.

Lu Ce truly lived up to being a world-class top influencer. This kind of announcement following communication with the Game was almost scrutinized word by word.

There were people interpreting it from every possible angle.

[: He refused again? What did he refuse? Why not say? Feels like this time it must have been some extremely top-tier benefit.]

[: Too god-like. Don't know why he keeps refusing the Game's benefits.]

[: Pushed open the door to 3.0 with his own hands? The Game is going to change drastically again, right? But having gods able to select agents, that's really great. Thank you, my "Sin"!]

[: Thank him? Talk after you survive.]

Discussions about the new Game mode were equally intense among people, not much gentler than over at the Dragon Group.

However, their perspective wasn't focused on the Game and divine authority, but more concentrated on "Sin."

The current strongest player's reputation was now completely polarized. Some people were frantically thanking him in the Game's public chat, grateful that he allowed everyone to participate in the selection of "Divine Messengers."

While others were exceptionally furious, feeling the entire world had suddenly changed direction because of one person's choice, and they themselves had absolutely no power to choose.

Therefore, this "Sin," who ostensibly controlled everything and caused all these changes, naturally found himself once again at the center of the vortex.

Or perhaps, he had never left the vortex's center.

Regardless, the Game update of who-knows-how-many days had stirred up emotions across the entire world.

......

On a broad street, Jiang Yuan walked alone, somewhat awkwardly, looking around at the surrounding people.

People were all discussing something about Game version 3.0 and such, seemingly the same things mentioned by that voice in his head.

Jiang Yuan felt confused. This world was so strange. Did everyone have this kind of voice in their heads, and it was very widely distributed?

Apart from this, he understood nothing else about this world, nor did he know where those people he had seen before were now.

He wanted to roughly understand this world, but didn't know what method to use. Randomly stopping a passerby to ask "about the situation of this world" would probably get him labeled as mentally ill.

However, while hesitating, he suddenly remembered something.

Back then, that guy covered in flames, didn't he tell me that if I wanted to join the Heaven and Earth Society, I should just shout "The world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society," and someone would come find me.

Hmm... although I don't plan to join, based on that meaning, if I just say it, I should be able to find a way to see him first, right?

Treating a dead horse as a live one to doctor, after thinking for a moment, he walked up to a passerby by the roadside and somewhat embarrassedly said:

"Hello, um... the world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society."

Passerby: ?

The passerby instantly showed a horrified expression. The Heaven and Earth Society was not a good term. After glancing at Jiang Yuan, they fled as if running away.

Jiang Yuan was instantly speechless. He raised his hand slightly but still didn't go forward to stop them.

Hmm... judging by this reaction, at least they knew about the Heaven and Earth Society.

But, that fire guy told me to shout it in a crowded place, probably so more people would know, right?

Crowded place...

Jiang Yuan looked up, thoughtfully beginning to search for a location.
