Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 662: The Next Divine Artifact, An Uninvited Knock on the Door

Xie Antong had already thought through all his escape routes for him, knowing he normally wouldn't likely purchase those life-saving items from the in-game store.

But such things, at this very moment, seemed much more important.

With so many people watching, the actual game outside had already ended, and the game area had probably already dispersed.

Because she discovered the game's live stream had long since ended, and she estimated that Dragon Group personnel had already begun gathering at the opening in the sky above, almost ready to descend.

Fortunately, that terrifying divine punishment from earlier allowed several people to converse within this deep pit, maintaining a high degree of privacy.

But even so, after settling Jiang Yuan, Lu Ce still left the scene at the first opportunity.

Additionally, Xie Antong's secret message to him contained another piece of information: the meeting two days later, to discuss the benefits brought by the identity of "God's" spokesperson.

Hmm... He didn't respond to this, choosing to run away first and foremost.

"What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Do you need to stare at that bead for so long? He's already gone."

"Using something of unknown origin to win people over, quite mature indeed."Xie Antong looked at the currently dazed Jiang Yuan and spoke.

"This is the Master's grace. The Master also has no need to win anyone over."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, clenching the bead tightly in his hand with visible, distinct knuckles.

Now, he truly held his entire world in his palm.

All he needed to do was firmly pursue what he aimed to achieve, right...

After saying this, he stood up, squinted slightly, and looked at Xie Antong.

"You... knew all along, right?"

"You actually made me attack my Master..."

"You and the Master are adversaries."

The corner of Xie Antong's mouth mechanically twitched upward, and then she stated without the slightest denial:

"Something this simple, and you only realize it now?"

"You..." Jiang Yuan involuntarily took a step forward.

"What, want to fight?" Xie Antong shook her head. "Do you think he doesn't know either?"

"Forgot what he told you, did you?"

"Alright, I've also fulfilled my promise, letting you see him."

"In this world, your newbie tutorial with me ends here."

"There is no Easy Mode. Following him, you only have Hell Mode."

"Also, remember you are still a member of Divine Punishment."

After finishing with Jiang Yuan, she left him with a final "take care" before also disappearing from the spot.

Lu Ce was already gone, and she didn't have much else she wanted to say to Jiang Yuan.

Moreover, her own emotions had reached a point where backlash was imminent.

Jiang Yuan awkwardly reached out a hand. Great, now both of them had vanished directly, leaving him alone here again.

From above, several figures slowly floated down to investigate their situation.

"Is everyone still here?"

"Why does it seem like only one person is left?"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

...

Bang!

After teleporting home, Lu Ce's first action was to take out the All-Seeing Eye from his ear.

He then immediately placed it under a pitch-black jar.

This thing came back with him, so it definitely needed extra precautions to ensure it didn't see everything it shouldn't in one go.

Only after confirming he didn't feel any sense of surveillance around him did he finally relax, collapsing onto his bed.

This game wasn't a formal game session;

it was a "God's" selection process. There was no win or loss;

rewards were distributed based on player performance.

Therefore, the traditional settlement and clear count didn't exist this time, nor was there the Perfect Clearance body repair benefit.

However, once chosen by a God, that in itself was the greatest repair benefit and the greatest reward.

Briefly scanning his game interface, aside from the basic Points, all rewards had condensed into just two items.

One was the [Lust Spokesperson Identity]. To this point, he hadn't realized what use this identity had;

the power it provided him was also extremely limited.

And it's worth noting that this thing only appeared when he used the Lust Mask, and only then did he gain the qualification to mobilize its related powers.

It really didn't seem like He had chosen him as the spokesperson. What He chose was [Lust] itself!

He roughly judged that it was unlikely this thing genuinely favored him.

If any God truly favored him, it could only be [Agony].

This choice by Lust was probably more about just attaching itself to him, and might even be planting a hidden danger for him.

Maybe later, when he was truly about to die, He might even turn around and stab him.

Next, he saw the second reward item.

[Detected that the Divine Power Ring has special energy available for extraction. Agree?]

Divine Power Ring...

Lu Ce thought back a bit. This item had now appeared for the second time.

Every previous appearance was because his mask had received "meme contamination," asking if he wanted to extract the related contaminated divine power.

Extracting it formed this ring, but due to insufficient quantity, it had never been of any use...

"Agree."

As the words fell, the familiar sensation of extraction washed over him. Moments later, the Game's voice spoke:

[This extraction's divine powers are: Pleasure, Lust. Extraction successful!]

[Current divine powers condensed within the Divine Power Ring: Life, Lust, Pleasure, Agony.]

[Tip: Find one more type of divine power, and the ring will complete its accumulation, becoming a powerful divine artifact!]

Hearing this, Lu Ce was momentarily stunned. This time, the Game actually gave a hint.

A divine artifact! Another divine artifact!

This thing could even be previewed.

Raising a hand, three rings appeared on his right hand: pink, green, and iridescent.

The color belonging to Agony didn't seem to appear, for reasons unknown.

Feeling their cool touch and sensing no particular divine artifact power, he gave up. The reward inventory for this session was complete.

"Did you forget something?" Black Knight said plainly.

"You'll get yours."

Tossing Black Knight's core into the Game, Lu Ce generously chose the most expensive repair function.

Then, with no one chattering in his ear, he directly fell into a deep sleep.

A mask like Lust, which primarily focuses on mental confrontation, consumes too much spiritual energy. Once asleep, he had no idea how long he slept.

The external world began its follow-up cleanup work after this global game session. Vast swathes of countries and regions even needed "post-disaster reconstruction."

Against this global backdrop, the Game briefly maintained silence, with no announcement for the next session. And the strongest player... was sleeping.

He slept right up until an uninvited knocking sound echoed from his room's door.
