As Lu Ce's voice fell, he casually began wandering around the field, like he didn’t think this game involved any death at all.

The other players, on the other hand, were all stunned right after he finished speaking, like they had just punched into cotton.

The whole point of gathering these twenty people together was to deal with this strongest player.

Of course, not everyone had a grudge against him, but being the “strongest” was enough to make you a target.

But now, “Sin” had taken the initiative to say he’d go first—what’s the point of anyone else’s plans now?

Is there even any other way to restrict him in this game?

Li Wei’s eyes darkened slightly as he looked ahead, at the relaxed and amused “Sin,” his brows furrowing a little.

From the corner of his eye, he could see the fourteen-star woman was also focused on watching. Thinking of what she had said earlier, he had a bad feeling.

Choosing to go first like that—either he doesn’t care about the punishment for failure,

Which possibility seems more likely?

Li Wei’s gaze turned sharper. He knew this guy wasn’t some harmless pushover. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said:

“Is the bet we just talked about already confirmed?”

“Or can it still be changed anytime?”

He was asking this to the Slime. The Slime didn’t care at all whether it was a twenty-player round or not—it just silently stared at “Sin.”

Like the most interesting thing in the world was happening on him, and everyone else’s games were boring.

【Tsk, why are you so nosy.....】

The Slime glanced at Li Wei, sounding a little unwilling.

【What you discuss among yourselves doesn’t count, it can be changed at any time.】

【The final official bet has to be verified by me, and the bet must be placed directly with me.】

Everyone felt a tight grip on their hearts again when they heard this.

Li Wei thought, just as expected.

This guy clearly uses his usual craziness and indifference as a persona, but in key moments he’ll talk nonsense and then go back on his word.

If that restriction wasn’t in place and no one knew, once everyone else finalized their bets, “Sin” could just change his at will.

Wouldn’t that give “Sin” the perfect opportunity to pick the best position?

“Promises are the most worthless and profitless contracts in the world, aren’t they?”

Li Wei said, but he couldn’t get another word out.

Because “Sin” had already spoken again.

“Then I’ll tell you directly—I bet nothing. I’m going first.”

Lu Ce said this straight to the Slime, a clean and decisive move that cut off his own retreat!

All this scheming, why can’t anyone believe I actually want to go first?

【Oh? You sure? Our glorious strongest player, once you agree, there’s no backing out.】

In the blink of an eye, the Slime teleported right in front of Lu Ce with an unimaginable speed, looking extremely excited.

“Sure. Also, back off a little.” The expression on the Lust Mask looked at the Slime like it was a big glob of snot coming at him. (#_

The Slime backed up two steps, looking heartbroken like it had just been rejected, but quickly got excited again and shouted:

【Good! Very good! That’s the right attitude for a game.】

【Alright, I’ve decided too. The first person to reach the finish line will receive seventy percent of the final reward!】

【Starting from second place onward, the rewards will decrease in an arithmetic sequence, depending on the number of players who clear the level.】

Then, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Lu Ce’s body, like a contract had been signed.

【Dear players, an exciting game is right in front of you—don’t tell me you want to fall behind?】

【Come on, bet nothing like he did. Then the order of turns will be totally random—completely random! Isn’t that fun?】

Everyone acted like he was talking nonsense, and someone even asked:

“If no one bets anything, and they manage to make it through, where do the Stars come from?”

【Then there won’t be any Stars!】

The Slime said with total confidence, as if that was completely normal.

Everyone: ......

【But you gained happiness! You experienced the thrill of the game! That’s the most meaningful and fun part—why can’t you be satisfied!】

The Slime shouted angrily, but no one paid him any attention.

Now that “Sin” had already committed to being the first to “die,” it had become a game between the rest of them. Their alliance crumbled instantly, and the tension flared up.

After all, nobody wanted to go second either!

“Uh, you guys go ahead and talk. It’s pointless, but I know you’ll waste a ton of time anyway.”

Lu Ce said with a smile, then casually walked over to Li Wei.

Li Wei had confusion and self-doubt written all over his face, but when he saw “Sin” walking toward him, he forced himself to stay calm and met his eyes.

A huge smile spread across the Lust Mask as Lu Ce reached out and touched Li Wei’s face!

Li Wei: !!!

His instincts told him to dodge, but there was no way he was fast enough.

Lu Ce’s hand landed right on his cheek, and a voice whispered in his ear.

“I’m guessing, in your daily life, a lot of people probably say you’re a scheming, ruthless, and insane guy.”

“So much so, you might’ve even started believing it yourself—maybe even feeling kinda proud of it.”

“But... in my opinion, you’re honestly just a bit too honest and conservative.”

Hearing that voice in his ear, Li Wei felt like he’d turned to stone. A chill swept over his whole body, and he couldn’t say a word in response.

He even started to wonder—don’t tell me this guy’s gonna try to r*pe me!

Luckily, that didn’t happen. After “teasing” Li Wei a bit, Lu Ce ignored the remaining nineteen players and turned to walk back to the gambling table.

TNN, this Lust Disorder seems a little off, huh!

As the twenty-player challenge kicked off, nearly half of them had already been pulled in, making the hall feel a bit empty.

Lu Ce figured the remaining nineteen would argue for a long time, so he headed for the roulette wheel and started playing again—no time wasted.

Watching his chill attitude, Yan Hong was already getting anxious.

“No way! Is he seriously looking to die? That’s like a one-in-a-million chance!”

As he spoke, he leaned forward to look down at the Black Sea below.

“What’s the deal with this seawater? If you fall in, do you die?”
