“Give me a bit more attention.”

“Next up, take a good look at some real high-level moves.”

Most of the dozen or so people behind him looked like their mom just died, frozen in place, except for a few in the front who managed to barely recover a little.

And the further back they were, the more Stars they had bet before!

This one move completely wiped everyone out.

Some of them still owed a round with the Torture Devices, and now they were wailing like babies.

But the Slime didn’t care at all. Its eyes seemed locked only on the First Player, the one who’d always been the dazzling “Sin.”

Even though the rest were supposed to get some rewards too, some even started pushing and shoving on the Floating Bridge to fight for rankings—but the Slime didn’t give a d*mn.

Who cares about you lot?

The Slime even played the bootlicker and said:

【What would you like to say? Should I prepare you a microphone?】

“Just make the lights brighter. And I want purple lights.”

【Sure thing! Adjusting that now.】

The Slime followed step by step. Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Ce once again walked to the center in front of the Roulette Wheel.

By now, Game Time was nearly up. “Sin” had already become the First Player.

And not just first—a massive gap between him and second, and an even bigger one between second and the rest!

Everyone wanted to see what the hell this guy was planning next.

“I told you, none of you belong here.”

Suddenly, he looked up again, turning to the players in the Game.

“Eyes on me. Or rather, what you’ve been playing with isn’t even fun. Time to watch something truly interesting.”

“Maybe... you’ll even get to satisfy those dark little thoughts of yours, and hope I lose.”

Saying that, Lu Ce spread his hands, the expression on the Lust Mask full of smug superiority. U_U

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto someone in the center of the crowd.

“Well well, you’ve got quite a few Stars too. Wanna come play?” he said, patting the Roulette Wheel in front of him.

And the person he was looking at was Xie Antong. At this point, she had fifteen Stars!

Because of the high number, she too had a glowing colorful Star on her chest, with a “15” beside it.

Being singled out in the crowd, Xie Antong trembled all over. It felt like all eyes instantly snapped to her.

It was not a good feeling. And she knew why “Sin” suddenly picked her out.

Maybe he’d recognized her—but so what? No way the Strongest Player would care about a former Teammate like her, especially when their last round together didn’t end pleasantly.

Being targeted by him probably wasn’t a good thing. For a moment, she felt like she was being eyed by a venomous snake.

She quickly lowered her head, took a few steps back, and casually said, “No thanks.”

Then, using the All-Seeing Eye to keep watching him, she ran to a hidden corner and played dead.

Can’t see me, can’t see me.......

Lu Ce didn’t say anything else. He tried to lift his arm—only to find his left hand couldn’t really move.

The earlier piercings from the Torture Devices had left some damage in the muscle.

“Tch, annoying.” Switching hands, Lu Ce took the colorful Star off his chest and placed it on the Roulette Wheel’s single red groove in the center.

“I’m betting this. Let’s go. Don’t waste time.”

【Uh...】 The Slime hesitated beside him. 【How many are you betting?】

“All of them.”

【How many?!】

“Are you deaf?”

The Slime locked eyes with Lu Ce, and suddenly started trembling all over—like it was totally high.

Then, the spotlight above Lu Ce flared up with dazzling brilliance, and the Slime shouted:

【Alright! No more bets! The highest-Star player of this round, “Sin,” has chosen to place all 29 of his Stars into the one and only red groove on the central Roulette Wheel!】

【Everyone! Watch closely!!】

Its voice cracked from excitement. And really, it didn’t even need to announce it—everyone was already watching!

The red groove—just one out of 180!

A five-times multiplier—the highest in the entire round.

But the chance of hitting it was insanely low!

No one could understand. Their eyes were full of disbelief as they looked over, wondering why he’d do something like this.

Wasn’t he already in first place?

One out of 180 odds—what was he thinking??

Even Xie Antong, who was hiding near the Slot Machine, looked over in confusion.

—Did the Mask take over his mind?......

Why? With so little Game Time left, why take such a meaningless risk? That didn’t match the way he’d been acting before.

She’d always been curious—how would “Sin,” who didn’t care about winning or losing, flip things around after being isolated?

Now that he already flipped it... he’s going again??

【Start!】

The Slime’s voice trembled, so excited it couldn’t speak properly. Without any delay, the Game began.

The Roulette Wheel started to spin. The small ball began to bounce. The sharp clicking sounds echoed straight into everyone’s hearts.

Everyone stopped what they were doing. All eyes locked onto the spotlight below, watching the purple-masked man smiling beneath it.

One man’s gamble... held the hearts of everyone present.

The ball’s speed slowly began to drop—and it really was heading toward the red groove. Everyone held their breath, afraid to even blink and miss the result.

Even someone like Xie Antong, with the All-Seeing Eye and cold logic, felt her heart skip a beat—her pupils shrinking.

As the final few bounces landed, time seemed to freeze. The ball slowed... and finally came to a stop.

Clack!

Red!!!

In that moment—that final click—it sounded like the world cracked apart. The entire space seemed to fall silent.

On Lu Ce’s chest, a glowing colorful Star appeared, and beside it: “145”!

Just as the Slime was about to scream its lungs out and break the silence, Lu Ce spoke first, cutting off its words and breaking the stillness.

He took the colorful Star from his chest again, and placed it right back on the red groove.

His voice was calm, his tone so steady it made you feel like his heart rate never went above seventy.

“One more.”
