Big Guy’s eyes were initially confused, but then it seemed like he understood something, and instantly grabbed onto it like a lifeline.

“Your... your exit token, are you planning to sell it?”

Before, he thought Lu Ce was insane, but now he even used respectful language. It was clear that, to save his life, he was willing to do anything.

Lu Ce didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to waste too much of his rationality on the other person. He just kept flicking the coin in his hand.

The pattern was exquisite, like a good toy, but in the game, it was something that could save a life.

“Bro... bro, let’s talk! Sell it to me!”

“I didn’t know the shop couldn’t be opened, I saved all my points, didn’t spend a single one.”

“All the prizes, rewards, I almost haven’t used any of them, saving them for a critical moment. Well, I just used that basic healing potion, my bad, my bad.”

At this moment, Big Guy completely forgot about his dignity, trying to flatter and beg in a very humble manner.

“I don’t know when something will happen here... I can’t take it anymore.”

“Or... how about we exchange contact info, after we get out I can...”

By the end, he started giving various follow-up conditions like other players had done before. Of course, Lu Ce didn’t care about such things.

Lu Ce flicked the exit token in his hand, tilted his head, and then with a slight push of his finger, the coin drew a perfect parabola in the air, landing right in front of Big Guy.

Big Guy’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly crawled forward to pick up the coin, holding it like a treasure.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched, and he felt a sharp killing intent lock onto him.

Lu Ce was standing in front of him, holding the Sharpened Blade, standing silently.

Big Guy gave a forced smile, then quickly began transferring the points, trying to avoid misunderstanding from the big boss in front of him.

Afterward, as if afraid Lu Ce might go back on his word, Big Guy immediately ran off. With the exit token in hand, his body flashed, disappearing from the spot.

One out of the five-man team had already left.

Lu Ce received 1400 points, a strength potion, a basic healing potion, and a skill learning scroll.

Seeing the skill learning scroll, Lu Ce was a bit surprised. Although it wasn’t of high level, it was still considered a superpower!

However, using it required the awakening of Spirit. Fortunately, Big Guy hadn’t awakened yet, otherwise, he would have surely used it.

For now, he put it into his backpack. This haul was still a good one, considering the exit token was only worth 1000 points.

At this moment, Kirk, who had been staying out of it, finally spoke up. He raised his head and, surprisingly, spoke in Chinese.

“It’s better that he left. After all, less people to divide the rewards.”

“Also, was your exit token a game reward? I remember the exit tokens in the shop are limited to one purchase per person.”

This was directed at Lu Ce.

He was half right. Lu Ce’s exit token was indeed a game reward, but he hadn’t bought it himself—he had never considered leaving the game.

Jiu Tian, who had been standing by, felt a jolt of worry. He hadn’t noticed this detail!

Could Lu Ce be in trouble? He quickly asked:

“Do you still have an exit token?”

“Maybe not, why would I leave? Isn’t the game fun?” Lu Ce replied, a bit absent-minded.

“But that’s a way out! What about your way out?” Jiu Tian asked, growing anxious.

“A way out?” Lu Ce raised his head, his mask showing a rare moment of composure, “From the moment I entered this game, there has never been an exit.”

This decision had been made by Lu Ce from the very beginning. It wasn’t a matter of mental confusion.

Even without the Chosen of Agony, without extraordinary power, and without immunity to pain, he would still have joined this cruel game.

Leaving the game, losing everything? Losing superpowers, losing the chance to change his life, losing the current mask, maybe even losing the Chosen of Agony?

Impossible. From the moment he entered the game, Lu Ce’s way out was either success or death.

He didn’t feel he had anything to lose. Starting over was an excuse for the weak.

Those who didn’t have the resolve should just be good spectators.

“If you leave once, you’ll never stand at the top again.”

After saying that, it seemed to exhaust his mental energy. Lu Ce collapsed onto the ground and began a long sleep that lasted the entire afternoon.

Eat and then sleep. Yeah, that fits the character of Gluttony.

Jiu Tian stood there, staring at the Lu Ce on the ground, looking somewhat incredulous.

He hadn’t expected that someone who was clearly mentally unstable could say such things.

For a brief moment, he seemed normal, right?

Meanwhile, Kirk, far off in the distance, didn’t share this thought. He sat quietly, watching, a trace of suspicion flickering in his eyes.

【Dinner time begins. All players, please start the game!】

Another door opened, and the only female player stepped out of the room with heavy steps.

This time, Lu Ce and Kirk almost launched at the same time. Lu Ce, naturally, began his next sweeping round, while Kirk aimed to snatch at least one potion from Lu Ce’s hands.

This time, everyone clearly noticed that the eerie atmosphere in the entire asylum had thickened.

As soon as the door opened, the sounds that had not been heard before echoed out—screams, muttering, sizzling noises. The sounds were obscure, distant, and terrifying.

Even those thick iron doors couldn’t block them!

Perhaps it was because no one had taken their medicine all day, but it felt like the condition of everyone in the asylum had worsened. The whole place seemed to be in chaos.

The final female player even entered the room, holding an exit token in her hand!

However, the ones most seriously ill were not just the patients here, but also Lu Ce.

For the third time, he swept up all the food and medicine. The energy inside his body felt like it was about to explode, and the Gluttony mask seemed to have reached a critical point.

Bang!

When Lu Ce opened the door, unable to control his strength, he kicked the 10-centimeter-thick iron door, bending it.

The patients who had planned to act out were instantly scared straight.

The next moment, Lu Ce flashed to their side.

“I heard I could ask you guys questions. I ask, you answer!”

“......”

Meanwhile, no one noticed that Kirk had never entered the room.

After everyone else entered, he paused briefly before walking toward the door of Jiu Tian’s room.

He pushed the door open!
