0:00The last candidate has entered the exam
0:01hall. The death exam begins. Listen to
0:04the question. You are given five cans of
0:06beef. Among the three options below,
0:08which will you choose? A. Defeat an
0:10angel of judgment. B. Help a newly
0:13qualified succubus pharmacist test her
0:15newly concocted potion. C. Survive 5
0:18minutes while being chased by a redclad
0:20female ghost. Submit your answer within
0:2210 minutes. If you exceed the time
0:24limit, you will be erased. On a ruined
0:27highway, a giant exam paper giving off a
0:30thick stench of blood slowly unfurled in
0:32the air. Below it, rows of desks and
0:35chairs were neatly arranged. Tin Gaunt
0:37men and women examinees looked up at the
0:39giant exam paper in terror. We're done
0:41for. Done for one examinee sitting at a
0:44desk, eyes bloodshot, clawed at his
0:46greasy, messy hair. Defeat an angel of
0:49judgment. Are you kidding? Those are
0:51mythical beings. Choose C. If we run
0:54fast enough, there should still be a
0:55sliver of hope. Don't dream. That's a
0:58redclad female ghost, not an ordinary
1:00eerie. Even a powerful sequence 8
1:03transcendent would die if they
1:04encountered her. Better to test potions.
1:07If I endure it, maybe I'll have a chance
1:09to awaken a sequence, become a
1:11transcendent, and escape being an exam
1:13slave. Have you forgotten the death
1:15exam? 2 days ago, 30 people chose to
1:18test potions for a fairy apothecary. 29
1:21exploded and died. The only one who came
1:23back alive also died this morning. This
1:25won't work. That won't work. Then what
1:27do you say we do? And I, Lynmo, sitting
1:30in the tenth seat, calmly looked at the
1:32three options before me. The death exam
1:34won't give a question. That's certain
1:36death. There must be a way to live. One
1:38year ago, the apocalypse death exam game
1:40descended and the death exam began.
1:43Countless monsters and eerie beings
1:45devoured 90% of humanity. A small number
1:48of lucky people awaken sequences
1:50spontaneously or through death exam
1:52rewards becoming transcendent. To
1:55survive, those still alive could only
1:57keep migrating, avoiding monsters and
1:59searching for a new home. Just like
2:01where we were heading now, Junk City.
2:03I'd heard powerful transcendent
2:04organizations had already established a
2:06stable base there. But I didn't care
2:08about that. What I wanted was to use
2:10every possible means to become a
2:12transcendent, escape my current identity
2:14as an exam slave. I didn't want to spend
2:16my whole life trampled underfoot,
2:18treated like livestock, and exploited.
2:20Looking at option B, I knew perhaps this
2:22was my only chance. In the hundred
2:24strong crowd watching the death exam, a
2:27scar-faced burly man sat on a battered
2:29pickups hood and snorted coldly. What
2:31are those trash doawling for? If they
2:33don't choose now, they won't need to
2:35choose later. A youth beside him called
2:37Mad Dog grinned. Brother Woo, calm down.
2:40These exam slaves risk their lives just
2:42for our precious canned beef. True
2:44enough. I just hope one of these trash
2:46survives. It's been a long time since
2:48the death exam produced canned beef.
2:50Brother Wu swallowed. Thinking of
2:52something, Brother Wu looked at Mad Dog
2:54with amusement. By the way, why did you
2:56force that exam slave Lin Mo into this
2:58round? Did he offend you? Hearing this,
3:00Mad Dog sneered. No offense. I just
3:03can't stand that look of his like he
3:05won't accept his fate. As an exam slave,
3:07wouldn't it be better to live obediently
3:09like a dog? Even brother Wu was
3:11speechless at that reason, but he only
3:13grinned. Fine. Guess that kid's unlucky.
3:16Among these exam slaves, the one he
3:18somewhat respected was me. A few days
3:20ago, when a group of goblins charged the
3:22convoy, I was the only exam slave who
3:25didn't panic and flee. I even killed
3:27three goblin pups with a dagger. But
3:29that was all to him. I was ultimately
3:31just an ordinary person who hadn't
3:33awakened a sequence. I wasn't worth
3:35offending Mad Dog, a fellow
3:37transcendent. The two didn't conceal
3:39their conversation. The surrounding exam
3:41slaves heard it, but didn't dare be
3:43angry or speak out. In their hearts,
3:45they were even secretly glad that the
3:47one pushed out for the death exam wasn't
3:49them. In this convoy, an exam slave's
3:51life was worth less than a dog's. Life
3:53and death were decided by a
3:55transcendence whim. Seeing that no one
3:57made a choice for a long time, Luan, the
4:00convoys leader, spoke coldly. If you can
4:02pass this round of death exam, you only
4:04need to hand over 50% of the supplies
4:06you obtain. Only 50%. The survivors
4:09participating in the death exam all
4:11showed joy in their eyes. You should
4:13know normally when they participated in
4:15the death exam, they had to hand over
4:1770%. Getting 30% still depended on the
4:20transcendence moods. They also wanted to
4:22resist. After all, every death exam was
4:25a gamble with their lives. But
4:27transcendence and they were no longer
4:29lives on the same level. Facing a
4:31transcendent, even if all joined forces,
4:33they had no power to resist. If I can
4:36get out alive, I'll get to eat meat. But
4:38which one should I choose? Even though
4:40Luchuan offered a handsome reward, brave
4:43men still didn't appear. It concerned
4:45life and death, no one dared make a
4:48choice lightly or rashly. I'll choose B.
4:50Just as I was about to submit my answer,
4:52a crisp mechanical voice sounded in my
4:55mind. Ding. Death exam simulation system
4:57activated. You can use infinite
4:59simulations to see everything that will
5:01happen after choosing different answers
5:03in a death exam. I froze. Then my heart
5:06began to pound wildly. a system. After
5:08the brief shock, I quickly regained my
5:10calm, my face showing nothing. Seeing
5:13less than 5 minutes remained, I
5:15decisively thought, "Start simulation."
5:17A blue screen appeared before me. First
5:19simulation begins. You feel choosing A
5:22and C is certain death. Choosing B might
5:24still have a sliver of hope and might
5:26even turn disaster into fortune. So, you
5:29resolutely choose to test potions for
5:31the newly qualified succubus pharmacist.
5:33Seeing you arrive, the succubus
5:35pharmacist is very happy because your
5:37build is good and you're her type. She
5:40decides that as long as you survive the
5:41potion test, she'll give you a special
5:43reward. As the potion enters your mouth,
5:46you find it tastes much better than
5:47expected. The succubus pharmacist says
5:49that to make the taste better, she added
5:51strawberry concentrate. 5 minutes after
5:53drinking the potion, you still feel no
5:55discomfort, which makes you relax quite
5:57a bit. At the 10th minute, you feel a
5:59power surging from your body. Your
6:01strength is rapidly soaring. At the 20th
6:04minute, all hidden injuries, subhel, and
6:07damage from fleeing, fighting, and
6:08hunger are eliminated from your body.
6:10You feel unprecedented comfort. At the
6:1330th minute, all impurities in your body
6:15are expelled. You undergo a
6:17transformation like being reborn. For a
6:20moment, the succubus pharmacist's eyes
6:22toward you turn into two pink hearts.
6:24Just as you feel a transcendent power
6:26beginning to surge within you, thinking
6:28you're about to awaken a sequence.
6:30You're delightedly surprised. Then you
6:32discover you've started bleeding from
6:34all seven orififices. The potion's
6:36violent power rampages recklessly inside
6:39you. The succubus pharmacist is
6:41terrified. She casts spells, wanting to
6:43see if she can save you. But
6:45unfortunately, the potion in your body
6:47goes berserk. Your body and soul begin
6:49to distort. Endless pain envelopes you.
6:52But your physical fitness is
6:53unexpectedly good. You struggle in pain
6:55for several hours before dying. So being
6:58in good shape isn't always a good thing.
7:00If I have to die, personally, I'd rather
7:02die quickly and painlessly, sparing
7:04myself so much suffering. The succubus
7:06pharmacist is somewhat sad. After all,
7:09she did rather like you. When your
7:10corpse is teleported out of the exam
7:12grounds, the transcendent convoy is
7:14somewhat shocked because you died too
7:17miserably. Simulation ends. Score for
7:19this round of death exam. 59.
7:22Evaluation. You were only one step away
7:24from enduring it and successfully
7:26becoming a transcendent. But that step
7:28is a chasm you can never cross. The
7:30compatibility is too far apart. No
7:33matter how many times you try, being
7:35eroded by the potion and dying in pain
7:37is inevitable. Looking at the first
7:39simulation result, I let out a long sigh
7:41in my heart. As expected, becoming a
7:44transcendent by awakening a sequence
7:46through potion testing wasn't that
7:47simple. But I wasn't discouraged because
7:49the succubus pharmacist had prepared
7:51more than 10 potions for me to test.
7:53Surely not every single one would be
7:55incompatible with me. Right. Right now
7:58what I Lynmo lacked least was chances to
8:01trial and error. Continue simulation.
8:03Simulation begins. You choose option B.
8:06The succubus pharmacist is very happy to
8:08see you arrive. She was just worrying
8:10about not having the courage to test new
8:12potions. Time is tight and the task is
8:14heavy. You get straight to the point and
8:16tell the succubus pharmacist to bring
8:18the potions directly. The succubus
8:20pharmacist didn't expect you to be so
8:22decisive. Her appreciation for you
8:24increases a few more points. She likes
8:26this kind of strong, doineering, cold,
8:28and handsome man the most. Watching the
8:30succubus pharmacist run over and bring
8:33more than 10 potions. This time you
8:35choose the one that looks the most
8:36toxic, the succubus pharmacist advises
8:38you to choose another one, but thinking
8:40that if you die, you can just restart.
8:42You don't hesitate at all and down this
8:44potion in one gulp. As the potion enters
8:47your mouth, a smell of gasoline, heavy
8:49metals, sewers, rot, and dead rats hits
8:52you. Even though you were mentally
8:54prepared, your expression can't hold
8:56back. You see your deceased greatg
8:58grandmother and all the people who died
9:00before waving to you. The next moment,
9:03your whole body begins to swell like a
9:05balloon and bursts. It takes the
9:07succubus pharmacist a lot of effort to
9:09clean up your blood, flesh, organs, and
9:12brain matter. Simulation ends. Score for
9:14this round zero. Evaluation. Because of
9:17recklessness, you ignored the kind
9:19reminder from the succubus pharmacist
9:21and ultimately exploded and died.
9:23Looking at the giant dripping exam paper
9:25before me, the scarlet aura it gave off
9:27grew thicker. Time flowed minute by
9:29minute. Knowing there were still two
9:31options to simulate later, I didn't
9:33waste a second. Continue simulation.
9:35Simulation begins. Time is tight and the
9:38task is heavy. After entering the exam
9:40grounds, you directly pass by the
9:42delighted succubus pharmacist. Go to the
9:44more than 10 potions, pick up a dark
9:46green vial, and down it in one gulp. The
9:49succubus pharmacist is somewhat shocked
9:51at how you knew this was the potion to
9:53be tested today. After drinking the
9:55potion, you feel nothing special, but
9:57your body is melting. In the end, you
10:00become a lump of green slime. Although
10:02the succubus pharmacist is happy to
10:04learn the specific effect of this
10:05potion, she is also somewhat
10:07disappointed. She still wanted to have
10:09an in-depth exchange of potion making
10:10insights with you. Continue simulation.
10:13After drinking the blood red potion, a
10:15blazing flame bursts out from within
10:17you. You are awakening a sequence called
10:19fire warlock. The blazing flames burn
10:22your skin, flesh, organs, and soul. As
10:25the temperature keeps rising, you are
10:27burned to ashes. After drinking the
10:29potion, you become a flowing mass of
10:31flesh with countless tentacles and eyes.
10:34The terrified succubus pharmacist
10:35hurriedly throws you into an incinerator
10:38and completely purifies you. In this
10:40round of simulation, you died. In this
10:42round of simulation, after drinking the
10:44potion, your soul is polluted by the
10:46eerie contamination not removed from the
10:49potion. You become an eerie being that
10:51only knows how to devour life, then
10:53wreak havoc in the succubus pharmacist's
10:55alchemy room. It makes the already poor
10:57succubus pharmacist even worse off. You
11:00drink a bottle of multicolored potion.
11:02But because the succubus pharmacist was
11:04greedy for bargains and bought expired
11:06materials. Aside from vomiting and
11:08diarrhea and feeling completely weak,
11:10you have no other side effects. You
11:12survive this round of death exam.
11:14Simulation ends. Score 60. Evaluation.
11:17You barely passed the death exam. After
11:20returning, you handed over 50% of the
11:22canned beef to the transcendence. But at
11:24night, weak as you were, you couldn't
11:26protect the remaining two and a half
11:28cans of beef. Mad Dog said the beef was
11:30delicious. Mad Dog: My gaze turned cold,
11:33but I still took a deep breath. I'd
11:35found a way to live, but this wasn't
11:37what I wanted. This simulation result
11:39could be a backup. Unless all the
11:41following simulations ended in certain
11:42death, I absolutely would not choose
11:45this. Thinking that the succubus
11:46pharmacist still had one potion
11:48untested, continue simulation. After
11:51drinking the last potion, at first you
11:53feel no discomfort, but soon you feel
11:55your heartbeat speed up, your whole body
11:57hot and unbearable. Does this
11:59description sound right? Who drinks a
12:01potion and ends up like this? You use
12:03every method to stay calm, wanting to
12:05endure the potion's effects. But when
12:07you see the panicked succubus
12:08pharmacist, you pounce on her. When the
12:11frightened succubus pharmacist is about
12:12to beat you to death, you actually
12:14forcibly hold back and regain your
12:16reason. Seeing you in such pain, the
12:19succubus pharmacist ultimately softens.
12:21When you wake the next day, you feel
12:23unprecedented satisfaction and at the
12:26same time an inexplicable emptiness from
12:28the depths of your soul. You stare at
12:30the ceiling and think, "What is the
12:31meaning of human life?" My eye twitched
12:34hard. No. What exactly is being
12:35simulated here? Can this even be
12:37released? The succubus pharmacist, too
12:40shy to come out from under the covers,
12:41is very satisfied with you. as an
12:43extremely special pure succubus among
12:45succubi. She can only ever have one male
12:48in her life. She originally didn't plan
12:50to reward you like this. If you helped
12:52her complete the potion experiment, she
12:54planned to use magic to give you some
12:55buffs. Knowing you are about to leave,
12:58the succubus pharmacist gives you the
12:59highest reward allowed by the death
13:01exam, the pure succubus' blessing. With
13:04this blessing, in the future, when you
13:06encounter succubi, as long as you behave
13:08well, they will let you off for the sake
13:10of the blessing. Simulation ends. Score
13:12100. Evaluation. Through your wisdom and
13:15effort, you obtain the most valuable
13:18hidden reward in option B. Well done.
13:20Gone. I felt silent. What use was this
13:23crap to me? What I needed most right now
13:25was power. Power. And more power. I
13:28glanced at the time. There were about 4
13:30minutes left before answers stopped
13:31being accepted. At this moment, still no
13:34one had submitted an option. Although I
13:36felt very sorry to the pure succubus
13:38lady. What did everything that happened
13:39in the simulation have to do with
13:41reality? I must first gain power and
13:43survive. Looking at the remaining two
13:45options, I chose to be chased by the
13:47redclad female ghost for 5 minutes.
13:50Simulation begins. There are two others
13:52who chose option C along with you. They
13:54are quite confident in their running
13:55speed. After the death exam begins, the
13:58three of you are teleported together to
14:00a desolate village. Looking at the
14:02broken, eerie village around you.
14:04Although the three of you are anxious,
14:06you don't dare act rashly. The death
14:08exam indicates the direction where the
14:10redclad female ghost is. Sensing the
14:12arrival of living people, she will
14:14awaken and begin the chase in 30
14:16seconds. After confirming the direction
14:19of the redclad female ghost, you and the
14:21other two examinees don't hesitate much
14:24and immediately run out of the village.
14:26You suggest the three of you run in
14:28different directions. That way, you'll
14:30have the best chance of surviving 5
14:32minutes, but the other two stick tightly
14:34to you. You frown, but quickly
14:36understand what they want to do. You
14:37sneer inwardly. Do these two think they
14:39can run faster than me? While running,
14:41you casually pick up something and tuck
14:43it into your clothes. 30 seconds pass in
14:46a flash. The redclad female ghost
14:48awakens. Seeing the rapidly approaching
14:50red dot, you and the other two are all
14:53startled. Fast. Too fast. At this speed,
14:56the redclad female ghost will catch up
14:58to you, running at full speed in at most
15:013 minutes. You run desperately. 3
15:04minutes pass and a blink. Feeling the
15:06terrifying eerie aura rushing at you
15:08from behind, the three of you turn back
15:10at the same time. You see a redclad
15:12female ghost with a bright red dress and
15:14a pale face. That terrifying sense of
15:17oppression makes all three break out in
15:19goosebumps. The other two exchange a
15:22glance, then madly accelerate and charge
15:24over, grinning at you. Brother Lynn Mo,
15:26sorry, but we'll carry your share of
15:28hope and live on well. They take out
15:30spring knives and close in on you step
15:32by step. Having long expected they would
15:34make a move. You throw a broken brick
15:36hidden in your clothes at one of them.
15:38The teammate who was accelerating toward
15:39you with a spring knife lets out a
15:41scream and falls to the ground. The
15:43other one is also greatly startled, not
15:45expecting you to actually have a brick
15:47hidden on you. The redclad female ghost
15:49rapidly approaching from behind pauses
15:51for a moment. She seemingly not
15:53expecting such a good show either, but
15:55immediately floats toward the examinee
15:57lying on the ground. How can you be so
15:59bad? I was speechless. I just struck
16:02first to gain the upper hand. The
16:03examinee on the ground struggling to get
16:05up looks at the redclad female ghost in
16:08front of him. His face deathly pale. He
16:10roars hysterically. Linmo, even as a
16:13ghost, I won't let you off. Then comes a
16:15series of scalp numbing screams. You and
16:18the other examinee run madly, but before
16:20long, the redclad female ghost catches
16:22up again. Lynmo lets split up and run.
16:25Wong Chong yells at you in terror, but
16:27he doesn't dare act rashly, afraid that
16:29if he runs to one side, he'll be
16:31targeted first. You running ahead answer
16:33coldly. No need. I just need to run
16:35faster than you. The examinee knows
16:37you're brooding over him, teaming up
16:39against you, and wants to explain.
16:41However, before he can open his mouth,
16:43half a brick has already been thrown
16:44straight at him. To prevent him from
16:46dodging, you aimed at his torso. Taking
16:48this blow to the abdomen, he screams in
16:50pain while running, loses balance, and
16:53rolls down the mountain road. Damn it.
16:55He curses yet actually climbs up and
16:57keeps running, even faster than at the
16:59start. But you've already run more than
17:01100 meters ahead. A bone chilling cold
17:03rises from behind him. He stiffly turns
17:06his head and sees the redclad female
17:08ghost floating behind him, saying
17:10nothing. Her pale cheeks full of
17:11mockery. A scream comes from behind. You
17:14know that judging by how fast the first
17:16person died, he can buy you at most 30
17:18seconds. But there are still more than 2
17:21minutes left before completing the death
17:22exam condition. Your mind races, but
17:24your feet don't stop. As you run, you
17:26see three forks appear ahead. You
17:28instantly realize that perhaps the way
17:30to live is here. But which one should
17:32you choose? Looking at the three dark,
17:34overgrown paths before you, you can't
17:36tell any difference. Gritting your
17:38teeth, following the rule of men on the
17:40left and women on the right, you run
17:42toward the left. After running all the
17:45way to the end, when you find it's a
17:47dense forest with no visible end, you
17:49know you're finished. The familiar
17:51coldness comes from behind. You calmly
17:53turn around, looking at the redclad
17:55female ghost silently standing 10 meters
17:57behind you, watching you with mockery.
18:00You slowly draw your dagger. Your mind
18:02races, wondering if you can use a
18:03handsome man scheme and become Ning Kain
18:06for once. You look at the redclad female
18:08ghost. While on guard, you pull up your
18:10clothes, revealing your firm abs, and
18:12smile. If you have any needs, we can
18:14talk. Why must we fight and kill? You
18:16feel disgusted with yourself for having
18:18to sell your looks to survive. I truly
18:21humiliating. But to survive, there was
18:23no other way. The redclad female ghost
18:25looks at you, her eyes filled only with
18:27disgust. Before she died, she was
18:29deceived out of her body by a pretty boy
18:31just like you. Unmarried and pregnant,
18:33she was drowned in a pig cage by the
18:35villagers. Her resentment didn't
18:37disperse and she became a ghost. She
18:40decides that after killing you, she will
18:41also cruy torture your soul. I seems
18:44that to be Ning Kaiin, I'd also need to
18:46find the right female ghost. Looking at
18:48the redclad female ghost who shrieks and
18:50charges at you. You stab your dagger
18:52toward her heart. Yet when the dagger
18:54pierces as if through air with no
18:56resistance at all, you give a bitter
18:58smile and murmur. As expected against
19:00this kind of eerie being, I can't even
19:02attack her. The redclad female ghost
19:04sees that you do have some good looks
19:06and you're also her type. After
19:08destroying your body, she cruy tortures
19:10your soul for 3 days and three nights.
19:13You die. Simulation ends. Score 59.
19:16evaluation. Relying on the time your two
19:18teammates fought to the death to buy
19:20you, you lived to reach the turning
19:22point of fate. However, you were
19:23ultimately one point of luck short. Fate
19:26did not favor you, but dying under a
19:28pony makes even a ghost romantic. Apart
19:30from the pain of physical death, you
19:32didn't suffer afterward. I still became
19:35Ning Kaiin, but why after death? I took
19:37a deep breath. Continue simulation. I
19:40and two teammates landed in a ruined
19:42eerie mountain village. The other two
19:44were still shocked that it was actually
19:45a rare team mode. I however immediately
19:47ran at full speed toward the direction
19:49out of the village. My two teammates
19:51were startled by my decisiveness, but
19:53after coming to their senses, they
19:55cursed in panic. Damn it, we're the rear
19:57guard now. Chase him. The other one's
19:59expression was also ugly. No, he runs
20:01too fast. We probably can't catch him.
20:03Why don't we split up? Split up my ass.
20:06He's so decisive. He must have
20:07discovered something. If we split up, we
20:09might just be buying him more time. Just
20:11follow him first. If necessary, pick up
20:13a rock and throw it at him. I heard the
20:15voices behind me, but I ignored them. I
20:17did not even like in the first
20:18simulation stuff two broken bricks into
20:20my clothes. Now I just wanted to run at
20:23full speed. As long as I stayed faster
20:25than them once I reached those three
20:26forks, there would be a way to live.
20:28When the red-ressed female ghost caught
20:30up, the two who planned to throw stones
20:32at me began madly tearing at each other.
20:34You dogfucker, even if I die, I'll drag
20:36you down with me. The two directly
20:38wrestled together. When the red-ressed
20:40female ghost caught up, they screamed
20:42together. I frowned slightly. The two
20:44were caught at the same time, so the
20:46time they would buy me next would be
20:47shorter. I could not care about much
20:49else. Gritting my teeth, I sped up
20:51again. When I came to the familiar
20:53three-way fork, following the principle
20:55of the shortest path, I rushed into the
20:57middle, desolate, dark little path.
20:59Running all the way, the path grew more
21:01and more open. Under the moonlight, I
21:03saw about a 100 meters ahead a gate
21:05welded shut with various metals and wire
21:07mesh. The gate was also carved with
21:09countless intricate esoteric patterns
21:11and various Chinese characters. Could
21:13this be the way to live? My heartbeat
21:15sped up. Looking past the barrier, I
21:17even saw a weed-covered concrete road
21:20winding out of the mountains. Sensing
21:22the terrifying bone- chilling cold
21:23behind me, I knew the red-dressed female
21:26ghost was coming. Ignoring weeds,
21:28branches, and thorns scraping across my
21:30face, I ran to the iron fence carved
21:32with countless inscriptions. I saw
21:34clearly the huge iron fence carved with
21:37countless esoteric patterns and various
21:39talismans. Outside there was also a
21:41blood dripping warning sign. The warning
21:43sign readfallen zone unauthorized
21:45persons strictly prohibited. I grabbed
21:48the fence and climbed up. When I climbed
21:50over the iron fence, I let out a long
21:51breath. Seeing the red-dressed female
21:54ghost stop dozens of meters outside and
21:56come no closer, I knew I had chosen
21:58right this time. However, seeing my
22:00relieved look of mocking, eerie smile
22:02suddenly appeared on the ghost's pale
22:04white face. My heart skipped a beat.
22:07Seeing the ghost drift toward me, I
22:09unconsciously retreated slowly.
22:11Suddenly, I felt something hard under my
22:12foot. I looked down and saw it was
22:14actually a skeleton whose black uniform
22:16had rotted away. Pale moonlight fell.
22:19Only then did I notice that under the
22:20weeds around me were all skeletons
22:22wearing black uniforms. Seeing it pass
22:25through the fence while the fence's
22:26patterns had no effect at all. I slowly
22:28raised my head, looked at the moon, and
22:30spat out two words, done for. I died.
22:33Simulation ended. This score, 59.5.
22:36Evaluation. You chose the right way to
22:38live, but you came too late. If you had
22:41arrived a year earlier, perhaps you
22:42could have survived. I was utterly
22:44speechless. What did it mean? I should
22:46have come a year earlier. Continue
22:47simulation. Simulation start. Already
22:50familiar with the route, I did not
22:51hesitate at all. The moment I was
22:53teleported in, I ran toward the village
22:55exit without looking back. My two
22:57teammates, dumbfounded because it was a
22:59multiplayer death exam, looked
23:00completely confused. By the time they
23:02came to their senses, I had already run
23:04quite a distance. Before reaching the
23:06fork, I heard screams behind me. Without
23:08the slightest hesitation, I rushed
23:10toward the path I had never set foot on
23:12before. As I ran, the forest grew deeper
23:14and the grass thicker. The path had not
23:16been walked for a long time. The farther
23:19I went, the more uneasy I felt. Not long
23:21after, I heard screams again from the
23:23direction of the mountain village. I
23:25knew my two teammates could no longer
23:26buy me more time. I had to go faster.
23:29The road was longer than I had imagined.
23:31With only one minute left on the
23:32countdown, that familiar chill came from
23:35behind again. I turned back. In the
23:37bright moonlight, I saw the red-dressed
23:39female ghost hundreds of meters away. I
23:41knew stopping was useless, so I
23:43desperately kept climbing up the winding
23:45mountain path. The ghost was rapidly
23:47closing in on me. Just when I was
23:49exhausted and beginning to feel despair,
23:51I suddenly saw a ruined little Buddhist
23:53temple ahead. At the same time, the
23:55ghost seemed to go mad and pounced at
23:57me. I swore I had never run so fast in
23:59my life. But as an ordinary survivor,
24:02long tormented by hunger, even hundreds
24:04of meters apart, the red-dressed ghost
24:06capable of killing most sequence caught
24:09up to me. Just as I smiled bitterly and
24:11planned to restart, the snarling
24:13red-dressed ghost pounced and slammed
24:15into a golden barrier, sending out
24:17ripples of golden light. Looking at the
24:19red-dressed ghost floating in midair,
24:21screeching and madly attacking the
24:23golden barrier, I was stunned. Then, my
24:25taught nerves instantly relaxed. A tidal
24:27wave of exhaustion rushed over me. I
24:30collapsed directly at the entrance of
24:31the ruined temple, gasping for breath.
24:34By then, sweat had already soaked
24:35through my entire body. I knew I had
24:37found a way to live. I only needed to
24:39hold out for 5 minutes to survive and
24:41complete the death exam. However, I did
24:43not just let time pass. I struggled to
24:45my feet and walked toward the ruined
24:47temple. In this temple, there might be a
24:49dharma treasure that could suppress the
24:51supernatural, not one of those bizarre
24:53drops with endless side effects. The
24:55little Buddhist temple was not large.
24:57Upon entering, I could directly see the
24:59Mahavara Hall. At first glance, I saw
25:01the solemn Buddha statue in the center
25:03of the hall. But what truly attracted me
25:05was a small transparent golden bead
25:08enshrined on the altar emitting a soft
25:10Buddha light. Could this be a relic left
25:12behind after a high monk's cremation? My
25:14heart pounded wildly. In that moment,
25:16all exhaustion was thrown behind me. I
25:19stepped forward and grabbed it. I saw
25:20the information for this relic. This was
25:22left after the cremation of a high monk
25:24accomplished in cultivation. It can
25:26resist second order anomalous attacks.
25:29When the remaining Buddha power is
25:30exhausted, it will naturally shatter. I
25:33had no time to think too much. 5 minutes
25:35passed. I successfully passed the death
25:37exam and was teleported out.
25:39Unfortunately, just as I came out, I was
25:41surrounded by five transcendents from
25:43the team. I knew that if I did not hand
25:45over the golden relic, I would certainly
25:47die today. I handed this precious relic
25:49to team leader Luan. Luan was very
25:52satisfied and let me keep all the cans I
25:54obtained this time. But Mad Dog and
25:56Brother Woo in the team had their eyes
25:57on the five cans in my hands. After
26:00using one beef can to exchange for the
26:02next few days food, I gave one of the
26:04remaining four to each of the four
26:05transcendents except Mad Dog. In the
26:07name of thanking the transcendents for
26:09their hard work protecting ordinary
26:11people like me. Luchuan said nothing.
26:13Brother Wu accepted it, patted his
26:15chest, and said that from then on I
26:17would be under his protection. A person
26:19who makes promises lightly rarely keeps
26:21faith. I did not believe a single word
26:23he said. What good could someone who
26:24mixed with a person like Mad Dog be?
26:26After Lu accepted it, she tossed me a
26:29piece of chocolate. The mysterious
26:30silent girl in the team, always shrouded
26:32in a black robe, accepted the beef, can
26:35and uttered eight words. Within my
26:37ability, I will save you once. Hearing
26:39her words, mad dog burning with rage,
26:41gritted his teeth, and left. I sneered
26:44inwardly. Without enough strength,
26:46holding relics or beef, cans was no
26:48different from a child carrying gold
26:50through a busy market. However, from
26:52this simulation, I also saw that the
26:54five transcendents as the ruling class
26:56had very different philosophies. Luan
26:58directly accepted it. The general
27:00meaning was that depending on the
27:01situation, if it was convenient, he
27:03might help. Brother Wu basically meant,
27:05"Don't worry, kid. This beef can is as
27:08good as thrown into the water and the
27:10chocolate Lu gave me." She did not want
27:12to get involved in these things, but she
27:14wanted the beef, and so she chose to
27:16exchange. What surprised me most was the
27:18mysterious girl in the black robe whose
27:20face no one had ever seen. Within my
27:22ability, I will save you once. Just
27:24saying these eight words was already
27:26worth far more than a beef can.
27:28Simulation ended. Score 80. Evaluation.
27:31You successfully passed the death exam
27:34and carried away the greatest
27:35opportunity, but in the end, you only
27:37made a wedding dress for someone else.
27:39You useless bunch. What are you still
27:40doawling for? There are only 2 minutes
27:43left until the deadline for submitting
27:44answers. Brother Wu<unk>s rough, cursing
27:47voice came. Exam slaves are precious
27:49resources for the team. You can die, but
27:51you absolutely cannot die for nothing
27:53like this. At least die on the way to
27:55obtaining resources. A blazing fireball
27:58appeared in Mad Dog's hand. Hurry the
28:00up, all of you. Otherwise, even if
28:02you survive the death exam, you'll still
28:04have plenty of suffering waiting for
28:06you. Hearing the threats from the two of
28:08them, the nine examinees, already
28:09drenched in cold sweat and unsure what
28:12to choose, became even more panicked.
28:14Time is almost up. Has anyone figured
28:16out which one is better? None of them
28:17look good no matter how you look at it.
28:19What about the angel? In myths, angels
28:21are ultimately good. After we go and we
28:23kneel down and beg him to spare us.
28:25Maybe he'll soften his heart. Someone
28:27sneered. How would a mythical being let
28:29you defeat it just because you beg? The
28:32levels of life are completely different.
28:34Do you really expect it to pity us? Then
28:36what do you say we do? I don't
28:38know. Amid the fierce argument, the
28:40examinees inexplicably began tearing
28:42into each other. I looked at the last
28:44option I had not yet simulated, took a
28:46deep breath, and started the simulation.
28:48I chose option A, defeat an angel of
28:50judgment. I opened my eyes and appeared
28:53in a vast snow white empty space. The
28:55air was filled with a holy aura. Looking
28:57around at the boundless white, I felt my
29:00heart skip. Could this be the combat
29:02space prepared by the death exam game?
29:04Isn't the scale a bit too grand? But
29:05when I thought that I was about to face
29:07a mythical being, an angel of judgment,
29:10I felt relieved. For an existence like
29:12that, even a casual strike could
29:13probably destroy heaven and earth. If
29:16the battle arena were not a bit bigger,
29:17how could it possibly have room to move?
29:19I thought if the other side saw that a
29:21little small fry like me had come, it
29:23would probably be greatly disappointed.
29:24Just as I was searching for the angel of
29:26judgment I was supposed to defeat, I
29:28felt my pant leg move. I was startled
29:30and quickly looked down. I saw a little
29:32thing in a white dress carrying white
29:34wings on its back, tugging at my pant
29:36leg with a small hand. Big brother, I'm
29:38lost. Do you know where this is? How do
29:40I leave here? Looking at the tiny soft
29:42Chihuahua-like little angel in front of
29:44me, my heart, which had almost died,
29:46rose again. Perhaps defeating an angel
29:48of judgment was not impossible after
29:50all. Anyway, even if I died, I could
29:52restart. I also wanted to see just how
29:54strong a mythical angel's combat power
29:56was. I asked with a smile, "Little girl,
29:59are you an angel of judgment?" The
30:00little girl nodded obediently and said
30:03proudly, "That's right. I am an angel of
30:05judgment." Looking at those bright,
30:06pure, big eyes, though I could not bear
30:08it. In order to pass the exam, I sent
30:10her a dual invitation. I felt that if I
30:12punched her, the little girl would cry
30:14for a long time. But there was no other
30:16way. Seeing me suddenly throw a punch,
30:18the little angel was terrified. A huge
30:20sword of judgment fell from the void,
30:22and even my soul was instantly
30:24annihilated. Simulation ended. Score
30:26zero. Evaluation. Reckless brute. Even
30:29the weakest angel of judgment cub is not
30:31something you can defeat by force right
30:33now. I looked at this result without any
30:35surprise. As expected of a mythical
30:37being, its power was simply terrifying.
30:40Since I could not win by force, then I
30:42would win by wits. Such a naive and cute
30:44little dumpling should be easy to
30:46handle. I just did not know what hidden
30:48special reward I would get for defeating
30:50a mythical being. I started the
30:52simulation once again because she had
30:54suddenly been pulled into this
30:55mysterious space. The somewhat
30:57frightened little angel felt a long
30:59breath of relief when she saw there was
31:00someone else. She politely asked me,
31:03"Where is this? How do I get out?" I
31:05smiled and said, "Big brother doesn't
31:07know either. Anyway, it's boring here.
31:09Why don't we play a little game, a
31:11game?" As soon as she heard my words,
31:13the little angel's pure, flawless, big
31:16eyes immediately sparkled. She looked at
31:18me full of expectation and said, "I love
31:21games the most." "Big brother, what game
31:23shall we play?" Looking at the little
31:25angel's expectant gaze, I was at a loss
31:27for a moment. There were no materials
31:29around at all. After thinking for a bit,
31:31I thought of the simplest game. Let's
31:33play rock paper scissors. Rock paper
31:36scissors. The little angel did not
31:38understand. After my explanation, she
31:40quickly got it. She excitedly played
31:42rock paper scissors with me and I agreed
31:44with her on best of three. However,
31:46seeing the little girl win two rounds in
31:47a row, I thought I could not be this
31:49unlucky. Right. Thick-skinned, I coaxed
31:52the little girl into changing it to best
31:53of five. The little angel threw
31:55scissors, I threw paper, and I lost
31:57again. I continued shamelessly and said,
31:59"Best of 10, first to six." I lost. I
32:03lost. I lost. I began to suspect the
32:05little angel in front of me was
32:07cheating. Otherwise, how could she seem
32:09to know exactly what I was going to
32:10throw every time? I asked the little
32:12angel. The little angel said excitedly,
32:15"I don't know. I just randomly throw one
32:17and win anyway." I felt a bit desparing.
32:19I had run into an RNG god. Cleverness
32:22was meaningless before absolute luck.
32:24When I still wanted to continue coaxing
32:26the little one, the death exam game
32:28directly ruled that I had lost. I
32:30exploded on the spot and died,
32:32terrifying the little angel. Simulation
32:34ended. Score zero. Evaluation. You found
32:38the only possible path to defeating the
32:40angel of judgment. But your poor gaming
32:42skills and repeated cheating against a
32:44little girl really make people look down
32:45on you. I fell silent for a moment. I
32:48quickly thought of a sure-win strategy.
32:50Continue. Simulation start. This time, I
32:52pulled a thread from my not so decent
32:54clothes and played cat's cradle with the
32:56little angel. The winner was decided by
32:58who could make a more complex and
33:00prettier pattern. I crushed the little
33:02angel with absolute skill. I won because
33:05she kept losing. The little angel
33:07pouted, indicating she was unhappy and
33:09angry. Simulation ended. Score 60.
33:12Evaluation. With a mortal body, you
33:15successfully defeated an angel of
33:16judgment. This is truly astonishing, but
33:19the process was honestly not very
33:21dignified. Nothing. That can't be right.
33:23I frowned deeply. After all, even
33:26testing potions for Miss Succubus had a
33:28special hidden bonus. On the female
33:30ghost side, there was even a relic that
33:32could resist second order anomalies. A
33:34death exam involving a legendary angel
33:37of judgment should also have a hidden
33:38bonus. After thinking, I roughly
33:40understood the problem. Defeating the
33:42little angel was a necessary condition
33:44for passing the death exam. But making
33:46the little angel unhappy was not a
33:48necessary condition for passing. Knowing
33:50what to do, I glanced at the little time
33:52remaining on the huge exam paper.
33:55Continue. This time, I still defeated
33:57the little angel at Cat's Cradle.
33:59Looking at the sulking little angel, I
34:01smiled and said, "How about big brother
34:03teaches you the cat's cradle technique?
34:05Once you learn it, you'll win every
34:06time." The little angel's eyes lit up.
34:09"Yes, yes." After learning from me for a
34:11while, she successfully defeated me and
34:14jumped up excitedly. At that moment,
34:16after defeating the little angel, the
34:18maximum stay time also ended. As if
34:20sensing the imminent separation, the
34:22little angel said anxiously, "Big
34:24brother, I still haven't asked your
34:26name." I smiled and rubbed the little
34:28angel's head. "Big brother is called
34:30Linmo. What about you? I'm called
34:32Kaiisha." The little angel clenched her
34:35fists and introduced herself. "Kaiisha?"
34:37I was stunned for a moment, feeling a
34:39bit uneasy. It couldn't be that Kaiisha,
34:41the king of angels from the myths, could
34:43it? Little Kaiisha watched as I was
34:45about to be teleported away by the death
34:47exam game and said with a smile, "Today
34:49I had so much fun playing with Big
34:51Brother. And I even received Big
34:53Brother's secret technique." Kaisha will
34:55also give Big Brother a blessing. A holy
34:57light fell upon me. I received the
34:59blessing of an angel of judgment. Pure
35:02angel power washed my body. All old
35:04injuries, hidden injuries, and sub-alth
35:06conditions in my body were completely
35:08eliminated. My physical fitness
35:10increased three-fold. Having received
35:12the blessing, my luck improved somewhat.
35:14The angel's power protected me, I felt
35:17my body unprecedentedly relaxed. Endless
35:19powers surged out from my body. At this
35:22moment, although I was still far from
35:23being a match for a transcendent, the
35:25three-fold strength boost gave me a bit
35:27more confidence to survive in this
35:29apocalypse. Looking at the little angel
35:31whose face seemed a bit paler after
35:33using the blessing, I fell silent for a
35:35moment, then said, "Seriously, little
35:37one, I won't forget this favor." Little
35:40Kaisha waved her hand. Big brother,
35:42let's play games together again when we
35:44have the chance. Definitely. As my voice
35:47fell, we were teleported away
35:49separately, seeing that I not only came
35:51out alive, but also obtained an angel's
35:53blessing, not to mention ordinary
35:55survivors. Even the transcendents were
35:57somewhat jealous. Simulation ended.
35:59Score 100. Evaluation. Players who
36:02choose a as long as they do not start by
36:04trying to defeat the angel of judgment
36:06with force have a very high chance of
36:08surviving. But wanting to obtain the
36:10little angel's blessing is by no means
36:12easy. She has a pair of eyes of good and
36:14evil that all angels of judgment long to
36:17possess. Though she loss can never
36:19receive her blessing. Looking at the
36:20simulation result this time, my heart
36:22kept racing. This was exactly what I
36:24wanted. A three-fold strength
36:26enhancement, though still within the
36:28range of an ordinary person. If a
36:30transcendent in the team truly wanted to
36:32kill me, I still could not beat them.
36:34But I was no longer completely unable to
36:36fight back. For a creature like a human
36:38who always wants a flawless victory,
36:41letting the other side know that
36:42bullying you was no longer without cost
36:44was a huge deterrent. Moreover, this
36:46power was directly added to my body.
36:49These transcendants could not take it
36:50away even if they wanted to. There was
36:52almost no time left. Only 30 seconds
36:55remained on the huge exam paper and the
36:57blood on it had almost turned solid. A
37:00fierce looking examinee gritted his
37:01teeth. I choose B to test the potion.
37:04After he submitted his answer, several
37:06wavering survivors also gritted their
37:08teeth and chose B. Take a gamble.
37:11A bicycle might turn into a motorcycle.
37:14Maybe I'll awaken a sequence and become
37:16a transcendent. Exactly. I've only got
37:18one rotten life. I'll go for it. At
37:21worst, I die. As for the succubus, I
37:23think I'm somewhat good-looking. I
37:25should be able to trade for some special
37:26hints. I run fast. It's only 5 minutes.
37:29I should be able to hold out. After the
37:31first person took the lead among the 10
37:33examinees for chose to go test potions
37:35for Miss Succubus apothecary, two who
37:38thought themselves quick-footed chose C
37:40to survive 5 minutes under the pursuit
37:42of the red-dressed female ghost. These
37:44two were none other than Wong Chong and
37:47the other man who in the simulations had
37:49desperately bought time for me to escape
37:51every time. While the remaining three
37:53examinees were still struggling, I
37:54slowly spoke. I choose a. As soon as
37:57these words came out, the venue
37:59instantly fell silent. Not to mention
38:01the other nine people sitting at the
38:03seats participating in the death exam.
38:05Even the ordinary survivors and five
38:07transcendents standing not far away
38:09watching the death exam were stunned for
38:11a moment. Is this kid crazy? Brother Wu
38:13widened his eyes in disbelief. Mad Dog
38:16laughed instead. He knows I want to kill
38:18him, so he's given up on himself. The
38:20venue immediately exploded into an
38:22uproar. Defeat an angel of judgment. him
38:25crazy crazy testing potions or even
38:28surviving 5 minutes under the
38:29red-dressed female ghost pursuit both
38:32have some chance of not dying but
38:34defeating an angel of judgment is that
38:36even possible this kid probably feels
38:38he's going to die and wants to clown
38:40around before death someone mocked no
38:43among the three still wavering examinees
38:45one suddenly thought of how I had
38:47performed in previous death exams every
38:49time I was abnormally calm even between
38:52life and death I did my utmost to find a
38:54way to live. How could such a person
38:56give up on himself? He must have seen
38:58something. This frail, tall, and thin
39:00man wearing sunglasses took a deep
39:02breath, his hands trembling. I also
39:04choose a You're crazy, too. Among the
39:07remaining two examinees who had not yet
39:09chosen, a survivor somewhat acquainted
39:11with this tall, thin, frail man with
39:14glasses widened his eyes. The frail man
39:16with glasses said with a trembling
39:18voice, "Take a gamble." Of these three
39:20options, choosing any is about the same.
39:23Angels are ultimately on the side of
39:24good. Maybe there's a turnaround.
39:26Hearing this, one of the two examinees
39:28hesitated, then gritted his teeth and
39:30cursed. your mother. Death exam
39:33game. I'll go crazy once, too. I choose
39:35it. The other examinees and the watching
39:37survivors were in another uproar. Crazy.
39:40Crazy. They've all gone crazy. The last
39:42examinee looked at me and the other two
39:44who chose a as if looking at dead men.
39:47You can be crazy, but I won't follow
39:49you. Choosing to test potions is the
39:51wisest choice. The examinee who chose to
39:54test potions said excitedly. That's
39:56right. B is the most correct choice. I
39:59already knowing the result said nothing.
40:01As the last person also submitted their
40:03answer, the countdown on the huge blood
40:05dripping exam paper abruptly stopped. A
40:08huge suction force came and the
40:10examinees sitting at the desks were
40:11instantly sucked into the exam paper. A
40:14projection appeared above the exam
40:16paper. The first exam site to appear was
40:18option B. the one chosen by the most
40:20people. This was also the option that
40:22all transcendants and survivors paid the
40:24most attention to. After all, it
40:26involved awakening a sequence and
40:28becoming a transcendent. When the first
40:30examinee appeared, looking at Miss
40:32Succubus, who clearly gave off an
40:34extremely pure aura, yet also made
40:36people feel seductive, the survivors all
40:38exclaimed. Is this a succubus? So
40:41beautiful. This is the latest potion I
40:43have refined. It is still in the
40:45experimental stage. Please choose one
40:47you like. Miss Succubus had no special
40:49enthusiasm for this examinee and simply
40:52spoke in a business-like manner. The
40:53examinee looked at the dozen or so
40:55colorful potions, feeling both fear and
40:58excitement. But since it concerned life
41:00and death, he did not choose rashly.
41:02Instead, he looked fawningly at Miss
41:04Succubus. Respected apothecary, could
41:07you give me some hints? Miss Succubus
41:09snorted lightly. Choose yourself. Having
41:12been clearly refused, the examinee
41:14gritted his teeth, chose a potion that
41:16looked the least toxic, opened it with
41:18trembling hands, and downed it in one
41:20gulp. This bottle looks like the one
41:22most likely to be non-toxic. The
41:24transcendents watching the death exam
41:26also perked up. After all, in the team,
41:29one more transcendent would have a huge
41:31impact on the existing power structure.
41:33It meant one more fighting force, but
41:35also one more person to split the
41:37benefits. When they saw that after
41:38drinking the potion, the examinees
41:40various wounds rapidly healed. His gaunt
41:43pale face filled with color. The muscles
41:45on his body continuously bulging and his
41:47whole person became full of vitality.
41:50Everyone became extremely alert. This
41:52kid might have hit good luck. Brother Wu
41:54clenched his fists, his tone a bit sour.
41:56A mere exam slave and he deserves to
41:59drink an awakening potion. The examinee
42:01in the exam site noticed his changes and
42:03was overjoyed. My strength is growing. I
42:06feel something inside me is reviving.
42:08Could it be? Everyone watching the death
42:10exam held their breath. However, the
42:12next moment, the examinee began bleeding
42:15from his seven orphases, then screamed
42:17and struggled violently. Only about 10
42:19minutes later, he completely stopped
42:21breathing. Death exam failure. The
42:23entire screen was blood red and a huge X
42:26appeared. The ordinary survivors
42:28watching the death exam let out a long
42:30sigh of relief. That was close. So
42:32close. I almost thought he was really
42:34going to awaken a sequence. Huh? Do you
42:37really think becoming a superhuman is
42:38that easy? Mad Dog sneered. He knew that
42:41during his own death exam, he had
42:43survived nine deaths out of 10 before
42:45finally awakening a sequence by luck.
42:47That's the experimental potion in the
42:49death exam. Did you really think it was
42:51a free gift? Brother Wu grinned. When
42:53the second examinee came before Miss
42:55Succubus, he thought he was somewhat
42:57handsome and wanted to sacrifice his
42:58looks in exchange for information. But
43:01just as he began posing and pining, Miss
43:03Succubus, with disgust all over her
43:05face, took out the most ominous looking
43:07bottle among the dozen or so potions and
43:10poured it straight down his throat. The
43:12next moment, the examinee swelled up
43:14like a balloon and then exploded. This
43:16bloody scene made the survivors watching
43:18the death exam gasp. Something's wrong
43:20with this succubus. The succubi and
43:22previous death exams couldn't even walk
43:24straight when they saw men. Why did she
43:26just kill him? Looking at Miss Succubus
43:28coldly recording in the projection,
43:30everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
43:32The screen turned blood red again and a
43:34huge X appeared. The next examinee
43:37appeared. This one gritted his teeth and
43:39randomly grabbed a bottle completely
43:41leaving his fate to luck. After drinking
43:43it, green slime appeared all over his
43:46body and then he turned into a sticky
43:48slime. Looking at the Scarlet X that
43:50appeared again, the survivors broke out
43:52in cold sweat. What kind of death exam
43:54is this? This is a slaughter house. When
43:57the fourth appeared, he tried the dozen
43:58or so potions Miss Succubus brought out
44:01one by one, watching her expression, but
44:03all he saw was a face filled with
44:05excitement and anticipation, no matter
44:07which one he chose. In the end, he
44:09gritted his teeth, randomly pulled out a
44:11bottle, and drank it in one gulp. A
44:14heart-rening scream rang out under the
44:16horrified gazes of all the survivors
44:18watching the death exam. Countless
44:20tentacles grew from his body. He turned
44:22into a mass of rotten flesh made of
44:24countless tentacles and eyes. Some with
44:26weaker psychological endurance vomited
44:28on the spot. This is worse than
44:30exploding to death. Watching Miss
44:32Succubus throw the flesh mass into the
44:34incinerator, a blood red X appeared
44:36again. Only the last one remained. When
44:39they saw the fifth examinee drink the
44:40potion, his heartbeat accelerated, his
44:43whole body grew hot, and he began to
44:45take off his clothes. Everyone's
44:47expressions turned strange. They all
44:49knew what he had drunk. Watching him
44:51pounce at the succubus, everyone was
44:53already prepared for the screen to go
44:54black. After all, in the death exam, the
44:57examinees personal privacy was still
44:59taken very seriously. But beyond
45:01everyone's expectations, facing the
45:03pouncing examinee, Miss Succubus only
45:06showed disgust. Then she threw a
45:08fireball, burning the restless examinee
45:10to ashes on the spot. Finally, she gave
45:13a soft snort, a guy wreaking of goblin
45:15stench. I hate them the most. From then
45:17on, all the examinees who chose option B
45:20were wiped out. The terrifying death
45:22rate made all the watching exam slaves
45:24turn pale, and they felt immensely
45:26grateful that they were not the ones
45:27participating in this round of the death
45:29exam. Even the superhumans looked grave.
45:32Given the terrifying side effects of
45:34these potions, even if they drank them,
45:36there was a high probability they would
45:38explode or become a mass of rotten
45:40flesh. If the death rate for testing
45:42potions was already so terrifying, was
45:44there any hope for those who chose A and
45:46C? Luchuan shook his head slightly. He
45:49didn't feel bad, though. They were only
45:5010 exam slaves. Once a death exam
45:53appeared, everyone who saw the exam
45:55paper absolutely could not leave before
45:57the death exam ended. If no one actively
45:59participated in the death exam, the
46:01death exam would randomly select
46:03examinees from the people around it.
46:05This was also why they, the superhumans,
46:07brought so many ordinary people with
46:09them. When facing some seemingly certain
46:11death or extremely dangerous death
46:13exams, they would force these ordinary
46:15survivors to take their place. When the
46:17sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up
46:20was just a saying. When the sky really
46:22falls, usually the tall ones lie down
46:24even lower than the short ones. Brother
46:26Wu snorted coldly. Looks like there's no
46:29beef can to eat. Mad Dog chuckled.
46:31Aren't there still those who chose A and
46:33C? Maybe a lucky one can come out alive.
46:36You never know. Although he said that
46:37his eyes showed he completely believed
46:39no one else could survive. Thinking that
46:41I whom he found displeasing was also
46:44going to die. The displeasure of not
46:46having a beef can diminished a little.
46:48Next, the projection showed the three
46:50people who chose option C. They appeared
46:52directly in a desolate village. Oh, it's
46:55actually a multiplayer cooperation type
46:57option. Several superhumans were
46:58somewhat surprised, but Captain Lu
47:00Chuan's expression was calm.
47:02Cooperation? I don't think so. Watching
47:04the two people in the scene competing to
47:06run faster than the other. All the
47:08survivors watching the death exam fell
47:10silent. Yes. Facing the pursuit of the
47:13woman in red, what cooperation was
47:15there? It was just a competition to see
47:17who ran faster. Brother Wu slapped his
47:19thigh. Damn it. If more people had
47:21chosen C and split up, maybe a few could
47:24really survive. But now there are only
47:26two. How can they last 5 minutes under
47:28the woman in Red's pursuit? My beef can.
47:31He punched the front of the vehicle he
47:32was sitting on. He didn't care about the
47:34lives of the survivors inside, but
47:36thinking that the beef can that had a
47:38chance of being his had flown away, he
47:40felt a surge of anger. However, beyond
47:42everyone's expectations, after one
47:44person was caught by the ghost, the time
47:46he bought allowed the other to run to a
47:48fork with three paths. Looking at the
47:50three paths before him, the
47:52superhumans's expressions became grave.
47:54The way to live is probably among these
47:56three paths. But which one? How are we
47:59supposed to tell? The examinee named
48:01Wong Chong looked at the three options
48:03before him, hesitant, while the screams
48:05behind him had already stopped. He knew
48:07there was no time to hesitate. it,
48:09I'll just pick one. He charged to the
48:11right, adrenaline pumping wildly,
48:13running like a mad dog. Feeling the bone
48:16chilling cold getting closer behind him.
48:18He ran forward like a mad man. Suddenly,
48:21he saw a small Buddhist temple appear
48:23ahead. Already on the verge of his
48:25limit, his adrenaline once again surged
48:27wildly. This was his reward from a death
48:30exam. In extreme situations, adrenaline
48:32would carry him through and break him
48:34out of an encirclement. At this moment,
48:36Wong Chong didn't dare look back. Using
48:39the last strength adrenaline gave him,
48:41he charged toward the small Buddhist
48:43temple. Listening to the screams behind
48:45him, the panting Wong Chong entered the
48:47temple's range and only then noticed
48:49that he was protected by a layer of
48:51golden light. And the terrifying woman
48:53in red could only rage uselessly
48:55outside. I survived. I survived.
48:58Haha. He lay on the ground laughing
49:00madly. The watching examinees were also
49:02stunned. No way. He really found the way
49:05to live. Holy Three paths. And he
49:08actually chose right. And in this
49:10temple, this layer of light, there's
49:12probably treasure inside, too. The five
49:14superhumans stared fixedly at the
49:16projection. After catching his breath,
49:18Wong Chong also realized that the small
49:20Buddhist temple had treasure. Entering
49:23the main hall, he saw the sorara
49:25emitting a soft glow, and he scrambled
49:27over to grab it. Wong Chong laughed
49:29loudly. A sorra, a sorra that can
49:32withstand a tier 2 anomalies attack.
49:34Amid the laughter, 5 minutes ended and a
49:37huge check mark appeared on the screen.
49:39That kid passed the exam. Brother Wu was
49:41overjoyed, his eyes full of greed. The
49:44five superhumans in the group all had
49:46intense desire in their eyes. A sarra
49:48left by an enlightened monk was far more
49:51precious than those anomaly drops with
49:53shocking side effects. But at this
49:55moment, the death exam was not over yet,
49:57and the people had not been teleported
49:59back. Don't rush. Let that Wong Chong
50:01hold the Sarra a while longer. Mad Dog
50:04licked his lips. Although Captain
50:05Luchuan had said that supplies obtained
50:07through the death exam could be kept
50:09half, that was for superhuman items. How
50:12could an ordinary person deserve to hold
50:13one? Of course, it had to be handed to
50:15them superhumans for safekeeping to be
50:17safe. At this moment, the last
50:19projection appeared, and all the
50:21watching survivors focused with all
50:23their attention. After all, in past
50:25death exams, they had never seen a
50:27mythical existence like an angel of
50:29judgment. What is that? Huh? Is that
50:31really an angel of judgment? When they
50:33saw the little Kaiisa angel with small
50:35snowy wings, pink and soft like a
50:37Chihuahua, the survivor's eyes widened,
50:40and the superhumans almost cursed. This
50:42was the truly correct answer in this
50:44round of the death exam. The first
50:46examinee to appear in it looked at the
50:48little angel who could be knocked down
50:49with any random punch and after a moment
50:52of blankness laughed up at the sky. I
50:54bet right. I bet right. His face was
50:57full of madness and his blood red eyes
50:59scared little Kaisa into taking a few
51:01steps back. Uncle the examinee grinned
51:04viciously. Little brat, go die in peace.
51:07I'll enjoy the beef can after the death
51:09exam with a grateful heart. He rushed
51:11over with a vicious grin, about to grab
51:14little Kai'Sa by the neck. However, a
51:16huge sword of judgment fell from the
51:18void and annihilated him directly. The
51:20sudden change terrified everyone
51:22watching the death exam. If that sword
51:24fell on me, I would definitely die. The
51:26strongest in the group, Luan, shrank his
51:29pupils. Is this the terrifying combat
51:31power of a mythical creature? Even if
51:33it's only a cub, it still has such
51:35terrifying might. Eh, mythical creatures
51:38are mythical creatures. Mad Dog sneered.
51:40Just now he had thought I might come out
51:42alive, but now it seemed I was still
51:44doomed. When the second person appeared,
51:46a tall, thin, bes't spectacled man.
51:49Everyone found that he might not
51:50necessarily die because seeing the tiny
51:53little angel, the tall, thin bespectled
51:55man actually suggested playing a little
51:57game of making faces. Whoever made the
52:00other laugh first would lose. The little
52:02angel actually agreed. At this moment,
52:04everyone realized that victory did not
52:06necessarily require force. You can even
52:09play like that. Some exam slaves were
52:11full of jealousy. If they had known,
52:13they would have actively participated in
52:15the death exam. Seeing the little angel
52:17agree, the tall, thin, bespectical man
52:19also let out a long breath. He was also
52:22a father with a daughter. If he had to
52:23harm such an innocent little angel, he
52:26really couldn't do it. So, he seized on
52:28the wording of the option and tried it,
52:29and unexpectedly, it really worked.
52:32Little girl, you go first. The
52:34bespectled man said with a smile.
52:36Watching the little angel frantically
52:38make faces trying to make him laugh. He
52:40found it amusing, but his face showed no
52:42expression. When it was his turn, he
52:44only made a clown face and made little
52:46Kaiso laugh out loud. Got it. The corner
52:48of his mouth curled up slightly. Making
52:50little girls laugh was his specialty.
52:52The final farewell was relatively
52:54pleasant. Seeing a check mark appear,
52:56Brother Wu grinned. There's still the
52:58last one. Mad Dog's expression was not
53:00good. Damn it. Why does the death exam
53:03game leave such an obvious loophole?
53:05Brother Mad Dog, don't be discouraged.
53:07Lynmo is a ruthless one. The odds are
53:10he'll end up like the first one. Brother
53:12Wu comforted. Mad Dog nodded, feeling in
53:14his heart that it was probably so. When
53:16I opened my eyes, I saw the little angel
53:19Kaisa from the simulation. She was so
53:21cute. Little angel. Hello. My name is
53:23Lyno. A faint smile appeared on my face
53:26as I introduced myself to the little
53:28angel who was a little panicked from
53:29suddenly appearing here. Big brother,
53:31hello. My name is Kai'Sa looking at me.
53:34Neither a good person nor a bad person.
53:37Little Kai'Sa felt completely relieved
53:39because of my friendliness. This big
53:41brother is not a bad person. She judged
53:43in her heart. I smiled and said, "This
53:45is a very strange place. Only if we play
53:48a game together can we leave after it
53:49ends. How about we play a fun game?"
53:52Games. Kai'Sa loves games the most.
53:54Little Kai'Sa looked up at me excitedly.
53:56When they heard me say we'd play a
53:57little game, Mad Dog's hanging heart
53:59died completely. He had never expected
54:01that I, an ice cold face, besides
54:04directly using a knife, could also think
54:06of using this method. You can't judge a
54:08book by its cover. Lu, the superhuman
54:11leaning against a Maserati in high
54:13heels, a bright red cape, and
54:15sunglasses, curled her lips slightly.
54:17Indeed, Luchuan nodded, watching me pull
54:20a rope out of my somewhat tattered
54:21clothes. Everyone watching the death
54:23exam had strange expressions. Cat's
54:26cradle. They had never expected that I,
54:28who seemed to be on a cold, ruthless,
54:30decisive path, would also know this
54:32game. When they saw me easily win
54:34against the little angel, everyone knew
54:36I would survive. Mad Dog clenched his
54:39fists, teeth almost grinding to pieces.
54:41This guy's luck is really good. Among
54:44the three options in the death exam, he
54:46picked the easiest one. Brother Mad Dog,
54:48why bother with an ordinary person? If
54:50you want to kill him, it's just a
54:52finger's move. Besides, after he hands
54:54in the beef cans he brought out, won't
54:56the rest be filial to you and me?
54:58Brother Wu lowered his voice beside Mad
55:00Dog. Mad Dog's eyes lit up and he licked
55:02his lips. Brother Wu makes sense.
55:05Watching me in the exam, he sneered. So,
55:07what if he passed the exam? In the end,
55:09the harvest will still be enjoyed by us
55:11superhumans. Listening to Mad Dog and
55:14Brother Wu<unk>s unrestrained
55:15discussion, Lu Chuan and Lu had no
55:18reaction. The mysterious girl at the
55:20very back of the five, completely
55:22shrouded in a black robe, frowned
55:24slightly under her cloak. However, the
55:26expected end of the exam did not appear.
55:28Everyone looked in confusion at me, who
55:30had come before the pouting little angel
55:32in the death exam. Little Kai'Sa Big
55:35Brother has a set of exclusive cats
55:37cradle ultimate skills here. Want to
55:39learn? If you learn them, you'll be able
55:41to beat big brother soon. Looking at me,
55:43forcing a smile, everyone only felt that
55:45I looked like a weird uncle coaxing a
55:47child. I had clearly already defeated
55:50the angel of judgment. Why was I doing
55:52something unnecessary? The moment that
55:54thought appeared, they thought of Wong
55:56Chong, who had obtained the Sarra in
55:58simulation C. Everyone's hearts jumped
56:00hard. Could this kid be trying to get
56:02something from the little angel? You
56:03know, actually, you really have to admit
56:05it. This little angel of judgment, even
56:08though terrifyingly strong, was
56:10ultimately just a child in mind and so
56:12innocent. Maybe I really could coke
56:14something good out of her. Not to
56:15mention Brother Woo and Mad Dog. Even
56:18Captain Luan's eyes held a bit of heat.
56:20After all, even a random thing from a
56:23mythical creature was beyond what they
56:24could imagine. If I really brought
56:26something good back, wouldn't it still
56:27be theirs? Once the thought arose, they
56:30instead began to hope that I really
56:31could cheat some superhuman item out of
56:33the little angel. Really? Little Kaisa's
56:36originally somewhat dispirited face
56:38instantly became excited, her clear,
56:40bright big eyes shining. I nodded
56:42heavily. Naturally, big brother, teach
56:45Kai'Sa quickly. Next, I unreservedly
56:47taught all my cats cradle tricks to
56:49little Kai'Sa, then played around
56:51against her and deliberately lost,
56:53letting little Kaisa defeat me. Yay!
56:55Kai'Sa won. Kai'Sa really won. Little
56:58Kai'Sa was thrilled. Feeling that the
57:00death exam was about to end, the little
57:02girl showed a bright smile and said to
57:04me, "Big brother, we seem to be about to
57:06teleport away. Thank you for playing
57:08with Kai'Sa and teaching Kai'Sa such a
57:10fun game." As thanks, Kai'Sa will also
57:12give Big Brother a gift. Hearing Kaisa's
57:15words, the exam slaves and superhumans
57:18staring fixedly at the screen had their
57:20breathing quicken. I really did coax it
57:22out of her. Brother Wu clenched his
57:24fists, his eyes full of greed. However,
57:26as little Kai'Sa murmured something and
57:29then threw a spell radiating a holy aura
57:31at me. My complexion visibly improved,
57:34all kinds of foul impurities
57:35continuously discharged from my skin and
57:38my whole aura began to sore. Brother Wu,
57:41Mad Dog, Luan, and even Lu, the smiles
57:44on their faces disappeared. What
57:46kind of dog luck is this? Damn it.
57:49She actually gave him a mythical
57:50creature's blessing. Why not just give
57:52him an item? An angel's blessing. and
57:54he's just an exam slave. He deserves it.
57:57Brother Wu and Mad Dog's faces twisted
57:59with jealousy. Luan sighed and murmured
58:02to receive an angel's blessing. This
58:04Linmo is somewhat interesting. After the
58:06blessing, looking at dirty me, the
58:08little angel threw another purification
58:10spell. Big brother, I can feel you are
58:13in some very dangerous environment. You
58:15must strive to survive. Looking at
58:17little Kai'Sa, whose face was a little
58:19pale from casting the angel's blessing.
58:21All my hidden injuries and sub-alth
58:23conditions had been eliminated. My
58:25physique had tripled and my condition
58:27was better than ever. I was slightly
58:29stunned. This was different from the
58:30simulation, but I felt it might be
58:32because I knew the future causing some
58:34subtle changes. So, I didn't pay too
58:36much attention, but I remembered this
58:38kindness and blessing. I smiled at the
58:40little girl. This favor, if I have the
58:42chance, I will definitely repay it.
58:45Little Kaisa showed a bright smile. Mm.
58:47Hmm. Feeling an irresistible
58:49teleportation force, she quickly waved.
58:52Big brother, keep it up. As soon as she
58:54spoke, a force came and teleported us
58:56away. The final conversation between the
58:58two was not shown in the death exam.
59:01This round of the death exam has ended.
59:03First place, Lynmo. The five beef cans
59:05for this round of the death exam have
59:07been issued. The first place's beef can
59:09quality is raised by one grade. Huge
59:12golden text appeared above the scarlet
59:14exam paper. looking at the three people
59:16who survived the death exam and returned
59:18alive. Almost everyone's gazes converged
59:20on me, who had received the little
59:22angel's blessing. At this moment, the
59:24filth on my body had completely faded.
59:27What was revealed was skin like white
59:28jade, full of chi and blood. Every
59:31muscle was tempered like steel. Standing
59:33there, I gave off a sense of pressure.
59:35What dog luck? He actually
59:37got an angel's blessing. This kid got
59:39lucky. If I had also participated in the
59:42death exam and chosen option A, maybe I
59:44could have gotten an angel's blessing,
59:45too, or even more. The exam slaves
59:48around were full of envy and jealousy.
59:50This kind of power directly blessing a
59:52person could not be taken away like
59:54supplies or items brought out of the
59:56death exam. The several superhumans
59:58glanced deeply at me, who seemed
1:00:00completely transformed, then walked
1:00:02toward Wong Chong, who was still
1:00:04ecstatic from surviving and obtaining
1:00:06the Sarra. I watched the scene quietly.
1:00:08I was actually a little surprised in the
1:00:10simulation. Wong Chong, who had
1:00:12desperately fought to buy me time to
1:00:14escape every time, had actually survived
1:00:16and obtained that Sarra in reality. But
1:00:19just because he took out the Sarra, does
1:00:21it belong to him? I murmured in my
1:00:23heart. In the simulation, there had been
1:00:25a situation where I brought the Sarra
1:00:27back from the small Buddhist temple. Now
1:00:29everything was repeating except the
1:00:31person involved was not me. You, what
1:00:33are you doing, Captain Lou? You said it
1:00:35yourself. As long as we survive this
1:00:37death exam, we can keep 50% of the
1:00:39supplies we obtain. Wong Chong watched
1:00:41the five superhumans in the group
1:00:43surround him. The joy of surviving and
1:00:45obtaining the treasure disappeared from
1:00:47his face. He clutched the Sarra he had
1:00:50traded his life for and slowly backed
1:00:52away. Mad Dog sneered. Have you
1:00:54forgotten the team rules? This Sarira is
1:00:56not safe in your hands. Hand it over. It
1:00:59It's very safe in my hands. Wong
1:01:01Chong<unk>s voice trembled. As soon as
1:01:03he said that, Brother Wu<unk>s face
1:01:05turned cold. Oh, you can't understand
1:01:07when we speak nicely to you. Looking at
1:01:09Brother Wu, whose muscles bulged as he
1:01:12slowly approached and Mad Dog, who had a
1:01:14ball of flame in his hand, Wong
1:01:16Chong<unk>s body trembled violently. He
1:01:18knew that as an ordinary person facing
1:01:20superhumans, he absolutely could not
1:01:22keep this Sarra. If he didn't hand it
1:01:24over, then today would be his death day.
1:01:27But he was unwilling. This was something
1:01:28he had traded his life for. How could
1:01:30they just take it away? I can hand over
1:01:32this AR, but I need compensation. Wong
1:01:35Chong said hurriedly. Compensation? Mad
1:01:37Dog and Brother Wu exchanged a glance,
1:01:39then looked at Luan. Luan<unk>s
1:01:42expression was calm. Originally, I
1:01:43planned to give you some compensation,
1:01:45but I can only give it. You cannot ask
1:01:47for it yourself. Hearing this, Wong
1:01:49Chongs face turned pale. Brother Wu and
1:01:51Mad Dog immediately understood. Coming
1:01:54up to Wong Chong, Brother Wu directly
1:01:56swung a big slap. Smack. The loud sound
1:01:59made the surrounding exam slaves
1:02:00shudder. With that slap, Wong Chong was
1:02:03sent flying, lying on the ground. His
1:02:05face instantly swelled and blood flowed
1:02:08from the corner of his mouth. This was
1:02:10still the result of Brother Wu holding
1:02:11back his strength. Otherwise, with a
1:02:14superhuman's powerful physique, that
1:02:15slap could have directly smashed his
1:02:17head. "Are you satisfied with this
1:02:19compensation? If not, I'll give you some
1:02:21more." Brother Wu grinned. Wong Chong,
1:02:24his head buzzing, did not answer. Then
1:02:26Mad Dog came over and stepped on his
1:02:28hand. "Ah!" he screamed and the hand
1:02:31clutching the sorra loosened. Mad Dog
1:02:33picked up the Sorra, his eyes full of
1:02:35greed. A superhuman item that can
1:02:37withstand a tier 2 anomaly with no side
1:02:39effects, but soon he restrained his
1:02:42greed. He trotted respectfully and
1:02:44fawningly to Luan and handed the Sarra
1:02:47to the captain. "Captain!" Luan took it,
1:02:50nodded, and swept his gaze over the four
1:02:52superhumans in the group. This
1:02:54superhuman item will temporarily be kept
1:02:56by me. If the group encounters a tier 2
1:02:58anomaly attack, I will use it. No one
1:03:00objected. Of course, they also wanted to
1:03:03hold this Sarra in their own hands.
1:03:05After all, who wouldn't want a
1:03:06superhuman item with no side effects
1:03:08that could withstand a tier 2 anomaly?
1:03:10But within the group, Luan's strength
1:03:12surpassed everyone else's in the
1:03:14apocalypse. Whoever has the bigger fist
1:03:16has the right to speak. for strategic
1:03:19resources like this brought back by an
1:03:21exam slave and unique in nature. Only he
1:03:24was qualified to hold it. Everyone was
1:03:26convinced. I put away this Sarra. Luan
1:03:28thought for a moment, looked down at
1:03:30Wong Chong, who was gritting his teeth
1:03:32and lying on the ground, and said
1:03:34indifferently. After all, you brought
1:03:36back one valuable transcendent item. So,
1:03:39I still have to give some reward. Of
1:03:40those five cans, you can keep three.
1:03:42With that, Luchuan's gaze returned to
1:03:44Lynn Emone not far away. Consider
1:03:47yourself lucky. Mad Dog squatted down
1:03:49and patted Wong Chong<unk>s face heavily
1:03:51with his hand. Ba, be sensible next
1:03:54time. Don't force me to beat you again.
1:03:56Wuga spat right on Wong Chong<unk>s
1:03:57face. The look of humiliation and
1:04:00vicious hatred in Wong Chong<unk>s eyes
1:04:02almost became tangible. Why? Why the he
1:04:05roared in his heart, but when he raised
1:04:07his head, he had already regained his
1:04:09senses and said with flattery, Wu is
1:04:12right. Mad Dog Goo is right. Seeing that
1:04:14face of his, Woo and Mad Dog were full
1:04:17of disdain. Trash. After obtaining the
1:04:20most precious second tier transcendent
1:04:22item in this death exam, the
1:04:23transcendent one's gazes only then
1:04:25returned to Linmo, who had received the
1:04:28angel's blessing. There was ill intent
1:04:30in Mad Dog's eyes. As the one who had
1:04:32pushed Linmo into this almost certain
1:04:34death exam, he wanted Linmo to die
1:04:36inside it more than anyone else. But not
1:04:39only had Lynn Emmo not died, he had also
1:04:41received the angel's blessing and been
1:04:43completely transformed. This was far
1:04:45beyond his expectations, that kid's
1:04:47physique has probably increased three
1:04:49times now. If he gets luckier in future
1:04:51death exams, Mad Dog's gaze was icy, and
1:04:54the killing intent in his eyes was
1:04:56undisguised. He felt a huge unease, but
1:04:59in front of everyone, he did not dare
1:05:01act directly. Luchuan came up to Lin Mo.
1:05:04Lin Mo looked at him. A smile appeared
1:05:06on Luchuan's face. You're not bad to
1:05:09receive the blessing of an angel from
1:05:11myth. If you get luckier in future death
1:05:13exams, it is not impossible for you to
1:05:15become a transcendent. These five beef
1:05:17cans, keep them. Lynmo was silent for a
1:05:20moment, then said, "Thank you." Luchuan
1:05:22nodded. Wu laughed loudly and walked
1:05:25toward Linmo, patting his shoulder.
1:05:27"Kit, interested in following me? From
1:05:29now on, I'll look after you." Lynmo
1:05:32said, "Thank you for your favor, Wu.
1:05:34Woo." Even if he got a three times
1:05:36physique enhancement, he is still just
1:05:38an ordinary person. Why do you Mad Dog
1:05:41was a little anxious, but Wugu waved his
1:05:43hand broadly. Brother Lyn Mo is indeed
1:05:45still an ordinary person now, but he is
1:05:48only one opportunity away from awakening
1:05:50a sequence and becoming a transcendent.
1:05:53He is worth investing in. Wugu patted
1:05:55Lynmo<unk>'s shoulder. Work hard. Wugu
1:05:58looks forward to the day you become one
1:05:59of us. Lu, the beauty by the Maserati,
1:06:02curled her lips slightly. Little
1:06:04handsome boy, if you don't want to work
1:06:06hard anymore, you can come find your big
1:06:08sister. Lyn Mo, watching the
1:06:11transcendent ones in the group all
1:06:12extend olive branches to Lin Mo, the
1:06:15killing intent in Mad Dog's eyes grew
1:06:17even stronger. A huge unease rose from
1:06:20the bottom of his heart. No, I
1:06:22absolutely cannot let Lin Mo awaken a
1:06:25sequence and become a transcendent. Mad
1:06:27Dog gritted his teeth. He already
1:06:29somewhat regretted why he had pushed
1:06:31Linmo into this round of death exams. He
1:06:33should have found a chance at night to
1:06:35kill Lin Emo directly. Now, the several
1:06:37transcendent ones with the strongest
1:06:39strength in the group all favored Linmo.
1:06:42He already had no way to strike directly
1:06:44and openly. And Linmo himself had also
1:06:46received the angel's blessing and gained
1:06:48a three times physique. Even though he
1:06:50was a transcendent, he could not kill
1:06:52him silently. Damn it. Damn it. He's
1:06:54just an exam slave. Why does he deserve
1:06:56the angel's blessing? He roared in his
1:06:59heart, coldly glanced at Linmo, and left
1:07:01full of unwillingness. Looking at Mad
1:07:04Dog's eyes, Lynn Emmo knew this matter
1:07:06was far from over. At least before Mad
1:07:08Dog died, this matter would absolutely
1:07:10not be over. Come to think of it, when
1:07:12he and Mad Dog had both been exam
1:07:14slaves, Mad Dog had not been like this.
1:07:17But Lyn Mo did not care about these
1:07:19people who wanted to kill him. What he
1:07:21needed to do was find a way not to be
1:07:22killed and then kill the other side. The
1:07:24rest was not within his considerations.
1:07:27Seeing the transcendent ones leave the
1:07:29skinny tall man with glasses, Chinqaiga,
1:07:31who had also chosen a and survived like
1:07:34Linmo only came over after handing over
1:07:36half his supplies as agreed with Luan.
1:07:39There was some awe in his tone. Brother
1:07:41Lynn, thanks. If not for you choosing a
1:07:44and making me firm up my decision. I'm
1:07:46afraid I would have been in grave danger
1:07:48this time too. Lyno looked at him. He
1:07:50remembered this person seemed to be
1:07:51called Chanka and they were not well
1:07:53acquainted. He also had no intention of
1:07:56interacting much and said indifferently,
1:07:58"You passed the death exam yourself. It
1:08:00has nothing to do with me." After saying
1:08:02that, he turned and left. Behind him,
1:08:05Wong Chong, still lying on the ground,
1:08:07watched his back, his eyes full of
1:08:09viciousness. Why? Why? When I brought
1:08:12back a transcendent item, was it not
1:08:14only taken from me, but I was also
1:08:16beaten by the transcendent ones. Half a
1:08:19beef can dismiss me as if it were some
1:08:21enormous grace. Lin Mo got an angel's
1:08:24blessing, and all the transcendent ones
1:08:26are currying favor with him. They even
1:08:28allowed him to keep all five beef cans
1:08:30of equality raised by one level. Why?
1:08:33Wong Chongs vicious gaze stared
1:08:35hatefully at Linmo<unk>'s back as he
1:08:36walked toward the main group. As if all
1:08:38his misfortune had been caused by Linmo,
1:08:41as if noticing something, Lynmo suddenly
1:08:43turned back. Seeing Lin Mo suddenly
1:08:46looked back, the expression on Wong
1:08:47Chong<unk>s face froze instantly. Among
1:08:50the crowd, many female exam slaves
1:08:52looked at Linmo with eyes that had
1:08:54become almost syrupy. Wong Yin, dressed
1:08:57cooly with a hot figure and a decent
1:08:59face, stared at Linmo as if she wanted
1:09:01to swallow him alive. If I can latch on
1:09:03to Linmo, my days in this group will be
1:09:06much easier. Wong Yin licked her
1:09:08tempting red lips, her eyes full of
1:09:10desire. She was already prepared to use
1:09:12every trick she had to please Lin Emo
1:09:14thoroughly, guaranteed to make him sink
1:09:16beneath her red skirt for a lifetime.
1:09:18She did not feel at a disadvantage
1:09:20either. After all, Lynn Mo<unk>s looks
1:09:22were just too outstanding. And now he
1:09:24had also gained three times strength, so
1:09:26he was definitely both capable of
1:09:28fighting and capable in bed. Seeing
1:09:30Lynmo<unk>'s gaze, the previous moment,
1:09:32Wong Chong<unk>s face had still been
1:09:34full of viciousness. In the next, it
1:09:36showed terror, then immediately became
1:09:38full of flattery. Linmo said nothing,
1:09:41only looked at Wong Chong calmly, then
1:09:43turned and left. The flattery on Wong
1:09:45Chongs face instantly disappeared and he
1:09:48gritted his teeth and cursed in a low
1:09:50voice. What are you acting so cocky for?
1:09:52You just got lucky and survived this
1:09:54round of death exams. I don't believe
1:09:56you can keep having good luck forever.
1:09:58Wherever Lynn Mo passed, a crowd of exam
1:10:01slaves in ragged clothes and salow thin
1:10:03faces all voluntarily stepped aside to
1:10:06make a path. Some of the more
1:10:07quick-witted and bold ones instead put
1:10:09on shameless faces and wanted to come up
1:10:11and get familiar. Brother Lynn, now that
1:10:14you've made it, you can't forget us poor
1:10:15bastards. Lynmo said expressionlessly.
1:10:18Move. The smiles on the faces of these
1:10:20survivors who had once done business
1:10:23froze and they unconsciously stepped
1:10:25aside. Among the crowd, the people who
1:10:27had once joined together wanting to
1:10:29snatch Lin Mo<unk>s food were now full
1:10:31of terror. What should we do? If he
1:10:33comes to settle accounts with us now,
1:10:35what then? The leader of the three
1:10:36gritted his teeth. Bring our last two
1:10:39white breads. We<unk>ll go apologize at
1:10:41his door. Boss, that's our last food. Is
1:10:43it necessary? We didn't even manage to
1:10:45snatch that kid's food back then. Does
1:10:47not managing to snatch it mean we don't
1:10:49need to apologize? The boss roared
1:10:51angrily. Also, watch your mouth. Don't
1:10:53say that kid. One after another. Call
1:10:56him brother Lynn. No, brother Lynn. Back
1:10:58at his own camp, Lyno sat down. looking
1:11:00at the five high-quality beef cans in
1:11:03front of him, feeling the power
1:11:04continuously surging from his body, and
1:11:06sensing that the surrounding gazes that
1:11:08used to be greedy were now all reverence
1:11:11and jealousy. He even had an unreal
1:11:13feeling. Power: Ah, it really is
1:11:15intoxicating. Lyn Emmo murmured in his
1:11:18heart. It's already late. Today, we will
1:11:20rest here for the night. Wu Ji<unk>'s
1:11:22loud voice rang out. Anyone who needs to
1:11:24cook, start your fires now. After
1:11:26nightfall, whoever dares make even a bit
1:11:29of light, I'll kill them. In the camp,
1:11:31everyone heard it. Those who had food
1:11:33that needed cooking all sprang into
1:11:35action, and Lyno also took out his tools
1:11:37and lit a small fire. He opened one beef
1:11:40can and poured it into the pot. If not
1:11:42for obtaining beef cans in this round of
1:11:44death exams. After finishing the last
1:11:46black bread, he would have run out of
1:11:48food. The aroma drifted out, and the
1:11:50surrounding hungry survivors all
1:11:52secretly swallowed their saliva. Mad dog
1:11:55who had been staring at Linmo from afar
1:11:57had cold eyes just an exam slave and he
1:12:00deserves to eat beef. Lynn, brother
1:12:02Lynn, I haven't eaten in three days. Can
1:12:05you please do a good deed and give me a
1:12:06bite to eat? A salow thin old woman
1:12:09tottered up to Lynmo. Linmo did not even
1:12:12raise his head, only said one word
1:12:14faintly. Scram. Please do a good deed.
1:12:17The old woman begged. Lin Mo<unk>s gaze
1:12:19turned cold. When I'm talking to you
1:12:21nicely, listen. Feeling the killing
1:12:23intent in Linmo's eyes, the old woman
1:12:25turned and left unwillingly. Only after
1:12:28walking far away did the old woman spit
1:12:30and curse. May you choke to death on
1:12:32your food, you bastard. Lyn Mo continued
1:12:35looking down at the beef cooking over
1:12:37the fire. It was not that he was cruel.
1:12:39It was that in this kind of world, this
1:12:41kind of environment, if he dared show
1:12:43even a bit of goodwill, all the
1:12:45survivors around him would pounce like
1:12:47starving wolves smelling blood, eating
1:12:49him clean down to the bone. He could
1:12:51clearly feel that when the old woman
1:12:52came over, the wolf-like gazes around
1:12:55all gathered toward him. The atmosphere
1:12:57in the air had changed as if everyone
1:12:59was waiting for a signal. Brother Lynn,
1:13:01a somewhat seductive voice came. Linmo
1:13:04raised his head and saw a woman standing
1:13:06in front of him dressed quite cool with
1:13:08a hot figure and a somewhat seductive
1:13:10face. He knew this woman, Lu Yan. She
1:13:13was quite famous among the exam slaves,
1:13:15not for anything else, but because she
1:13:17looked decent, had a good figure, was
1:13:19open-minded, and charged reasonably.
1:13:21Lien struck a rather tempting pose.
1:13:23"Brother Lynn, aren't you lonely by
1:13:25yourself? For just half a beef can,
1:13:28tonight you can do whatever you want to
1:13:29me." Lyn Mo said coldly. I have OCD. Lu
1:13:33Yian<unk>s face stiffened, and she felt
1:13:34as if she had suffered a huge
1:13:36humiliation, but she still gritted her
1:13:38teeth and said, "One quarter beef can,
1:13:41no less. Scram. Don't make me say it a
1:13:44second time. Seeing Lyn Mo<unk>'s cold
1:13:46gaze, Luanne<unk>s heart gave a violent
1:13:48jump. She could feel that if she kept
1:13:50pestering him, Lyn Mo really would
1:13:52strike next. She looked at the fragrant
1:13:54beef in the pot, swallowed, gritted her
1:13:56teeth, turned, and left to look for
1:13:58other clients. No cat doesn't steal
1:14:00fish. No man can control his lower half.
1:14:03Let it be for today. I don't believe you
1:14:05can hold it in forever. Wong Yin snorted
1:14:07coldly in her heart. Boss, it smells so
1:14:10good. There are five of us. Should we go
1:14:12rob him? Not far away, a small group of
1:14:1410 people swallowed saliva as they
1:14:16looked this way. But the big bearded man
1:14:18among them sneered. That kid got the
1:14:20angel's blessing. What are we supposed
1:14:22to rob him with? Then let's just rush
1:14:24over, grab the meat, and stuff it in our
1:14:26mouths. Could he really dare kill us?
1:14:29You think he hasn't killed anyone
1:14:30before? The boss looked at the man as if
1:14:32he were a stupid pig. Only then did the
1:14:34man remember something and immediately
1:14:36shut up. Don't be stupid. If we kill
1:14:38him, at most he just has to hand over
1:14:40some resources. We can't touch him. Then
1:14:43what about the other two who got beef
1:14:44cans? Someone used their brain. The boss
1:14:46of this group gritted his teeth. Don't
1:14:48even think about it. One of them went to
1:14:50curry favor with Wugu and the other with
1:14:52Mad Dog Go. Now they have backing. This
1:14:55group did not move, but as the aroma
1:14:57drifting from Linmo's side grew
1:14:59stronger. In the end, someone still
1:15:01could not hold back. When a reckless
1:15:03rogue shamelessly tried to stick his
1:15:05hand directly into the pot, a scream
1:15:07rang out in the evening camp. Seeing the
1:15:09rogue whose throat was cut with one
1:15:11slash by Linmo's dagger, the
1:15:13surroundings burst into screams. The
1:15:15commotion here also drew over the
1:15:17administrator who managed these exam
1:15:19slaves, Uncle Xiao. This kid attacked
1:15:21first to snatch food. He deserved to
1:15:23die, but exam slaves are precious
1:15:25resources in the group. According to the
1:15:27group's rules, you still have to
1:15:29compensate one standardsized meat can or
1:15:3115 white breads. Linmo calmly handed a
1:15:34beef can to Uncle Xiao. Uncle Xiao took
1:15:37the beef can and glanced at Linmo's pot.
1:15:39This is a 1.5 gen- sized one and it's
1:15:42top quality beef. The quality exceeds
1:15:44the penalty requirement. You can choose
1:15:46five steamed buns or one small-sized
1:15:48braced pork can. Five steamed buns.
1:15:51Linmo spoke. Uncle Xiao nodded, turned,
1:15:54and went to the largest supply cart in
1:15:56the group to get five steamed buns. Lyno
1:15:58took them. By then, the food was also
1:16:00ready. The rogu's corpse was still
1:16:02nearby, and the blood had already formed
1:16:04a pool on the ground. Lyn Mo acted as if
1:16:06he had not seen it, and just calmly
1:16:08began to eat. He knew that tonight there
1:16:10had to be an incident like this.
1:16:12Otherwise, even if he had gained a three
1:16:14times physique enhancement without
1:16:16seeing blood, there would still be
1:16:17people daring to covet the beef cans in
1:16:19his hands. Seeing this scene among the
1:16:22more than 90 exam slaves, those with
1:16:24ideas all abandoned them in their
1:16:26hearts. The commotion here naturally
1:16:28also drew the attention of the
1:16:30transcendent ones. Luan said to Mad Dog,
1:16:33"Go burn the corpse so it doesn't
1:16:35attract monsters." Mad Dog cursed
1:16:37inwardly. He still had to clean up after
1:16:39Lyno, but he did not dare disobey Lu
1:16:42Chuan's order. And cursing, got up and
1:16:44walked toward Linmo. Arriving at the
1:16:46corpse, he threw down a fireball. In
1:16:48less than a few minutes, the rogu's
1:16:50corpse, along with the blood on the
1:16:52ground and a patch of land, had all been
1:16:54burned to charcoal. Kid, your methods
1:16:56are pretty ruthless. Mad Dog sneered.
1:16:59Come to think of it, I was the one who
1:17:00pushed you into the death exam.
1:17:02Otherwise, how could you have gained
1:17:04such a big benefit? Aren't you going to
1:17:06show some gratitude? Lyno slowly raised
1:17:08his head. This mad dog had finally come.
1:17:11At this moment, more than 90 exam
1:17:13slaves, especially the few who had just
1:17:15wanted to come take advantage, all cast
1:17:17gloating looks. This old lady wants to
1:17:19see whether you can still be so tough in
1:17:21front of a transcendent. Lu Yan, who had
1:17:24been left embarrassed by Linmo, but had
1:17:26struck a deal with Wong Chong and gotten
1:17:28meat, looked on with mockery. Linmo
1:17:30slowly stood up and met Mad Dog's eyes.
1:17:32As the two looked at each other, the
1:17:34exam slaves closer to this side felt as
1:17:36if the air around them had become
1:17:38heavier. It had quite the flavor of
1:17:40swords drawn and bows bent as if they
1:17:42would start fighting the next moment.
1:17:44Looking at Lynmo's gaze, which held no
1:17:46awe at all, but was as firm and calm as
1:17:49usual. Mad Dog felt a wave of wild
1:17:52irritation in his heart. What he hated
1:17:54most about Linmo was exactly this look.
1:17:56From Lyn Mo<unk>s eyes, he could not see
1:17:58any fear or reverence. Which other exam
1:18:01slave upon seeing him did not look like
1:18:03a mouse seeing a cat? Their eyes and
1:18:06faces were all flattery and
1:18:07ingratiation. The tense atmosphere
1:18:09lasted for a moment. Lynn Emmo suddenly
1:18:12spoke. Thank you, Mad Doggo, for the
1:18:14promotion. After saying that, Lyno sat
1:18:17down and continued eating steamed buns
1:18:19and beef one bite at a time. The
1:18:21atmosphere in the camp suddenly became
1:18:23very strange. Mad Dog's mouth twitched
1:18:25hard, and for a moment, he actually felt
1:18:28somewhat unable to step down. That's it.
1:18:30Mad Dog looked at Lin Emo through
1:18:32gritted teeth. What else? Lyno looked up
1:18:35at him, his tone calm and without waves.
1:18:37He did not want to directly enter a
1:18:39head-on armed conflict with Mad Dog now.
1:18:41But he understood people like Mad Dog.
1:18:43As long as he completely softened now,
1:18:45Mad Dog would immediately pounce like a
1:18:48starving wolf. A certain level of
1:18:50strength plus toughness would instead
1:18:51make the other side wary. Mad Dog was
1:18:54angered into laughing. You know what I
1:18:55want to hear is not this. A light thank
1:18:57you and it's over. You have to bring out
1:18:59something real. Otherwise, how can I
1:19:01feel your sincerity? His gaze fell on
1:19:03the remaining three top quality beef
1:19:05cans. I think those three beef cans are
1:19:07pretty good. Mad Dog's true intent was
1:19:10revealed and the air instantly froze. By
1:19:12the distant campfire, Luchuan and the
1:19:15other three transcendent ones cooking
1:19:17potatoes and beef were of course also
1:19:19closely watching this side. Hearing Mad
1:19:21Dog's blunt words, Luan<unk>s eye
1:19:24twitched uncontrollably. The flesh on Wu
1:19:26Ji<unk>s face also twitched
1:19:28uncontrollably, and he muttered, "This
1:19:30mad dog, can't he handle things with a
1:19:32little more decency? How can he say
1:19:33something like that in front of
1:19:34everyone?" All four transcendent ones
1:19:36understood in their hearts that although
1:19:38in this group, ordinary people existed
1:19:40to enter death exams, and provide them
1:19:43resources. When monsters and anomalies
1:19:45caught up, they were used to fill the
1:19:47monsters stomachs. But if they wanted
1:19:49such a huge group to operate stably,
1:19:51they had to give people hope and some
1:19:53rules. No matter how cruel the rules, as
1:19:55long as they could operate steadily,
1:19:57they could still give people a sense of
1:19:59security. Yet, Mad Dog's current move of
1:20:01directly extorting beef cans from Lynmo
1:20:03was no different from open robbery. Now,
1:20:06the exam slaves in the field watched
1:20:08Linmo, who had originally been exactly
1:20:10the same as them, suddenly rich and then
1:20:12put in his place by Mad Dog and
1:20:14naturally felt pleased. But after today,
1:20:17when they realized that the only rule in
1:20:19this group that could still give people
1:20:20a bit of hope, the death exam
1:20:22distribution rule was as fragile as
1:20:24paper. And these transcendent ones could
1:20:26tear it whenever they wanted. Then the
1:20:28only bit of hope left would be gone.
1:20:30Once people's hearts scattered, the
1:20:31group would be hard to lead. Luan, who
1:20:34had set the death exam distribution
1:20:36ratio, now had a colder look in his
1:20:38eyes. He really had not expected that
1:20:40sending Mad Dog to deal with a corpse
1:20:42could stir up such a mess. Mad Dog wore
1:20:44a cold smile and a look of mockery,
1:20:46looking down at Linmo sitting on the
1:20:48stone eating. The aura of a transcendent
1:20:51kept releasing, pressing toward Linmo,
1:20:53and even the temperature in the air rose
1:20:55a lot. Mad Dog believed Linmo would make
1:20:58the correct choice himself, but he did
1:21:00not notice at all that on the other
1:21:01side, Luan's eyes had already narrowed
1:21:04slightly. Wu, Lu Yu, and the mysterious
1:21:07girl shrouded in a black robe, wanted to
1:21:09see how Lin Mo, this lucky one who had
1:21:11just received the angel's blessing,
1:21:13would respond next. If they fought, they
1:21:15could also see exactly how much combat
1:21:17power Linmo had now. Under the tense
1:21:20atmosphere, the exam slaves closer by
1:21:22unconsciously shrank back and retreated
1:21:24in all directions, afraid that if a
1:21:26fight broke out, they would be caught in
1:21:28Mad Dog's flames. This situation, n out
1:21:31of 10, it's going to be a fight. That
1:21:33Lyn Mo. Does he really think that just
1:21:35because he got an angel's blessing, he
1:21:37can challenge a transcendent? Eh, he can
1:21:39only bully us poor bastards against a
1:21:42real transcendent. He's just like that.
1:21:44I figure they won't fight. If this Lin
1:21:46Mo's brain isn't broken, he'll
1:21:48obediently offer up the beef cans with
1:21:50both hands. Maybe he'll even have to
1:21:52kneel and beg Mad Dog go for
1:21:54forgiveness. The exam slaves whispered
1:21:56among themselves, their eyes carrying a
1:21:58kind of excitement like watching someone
1:22:00eat human blood steamed buns. especially
1:22:03the old woman who had come to beg for
1:22:05meat but was refused by Linmo, Wong Yin
1:22:08and Wong Chong who had transferred all
1:22:10the hatred in his heart to Linmo because
1:22:12of the completely different treatment
1:22:14after returning. There were also some
1:22:15who could not bear it such as the skinny
1:22:17tall man with glasses who had survived
1:22:19option together with Linmo. But this
1:22:22involved a transcendent and they simply
1:22:24did not dare participate. All kinds of
1:22:26human states were manifested one by one
1:22:28at this moment. Just when everyone
1:22:30thought Lynn Mo would either clash hard
1:22:32with Mad Dog or offer up the beef cans
1:22:34and soften, Linmo, who had been silent
1:22:36for a long time, slowly spoke. If I
1:22:39remember correctly, Captain Lu allowed
1:22:41me to keep all five of these cans. Now
1:22:43you're preparing to rob them by force.
1:22:45Is it that what Captain Lou said no
1:22:47longer counts? Or do you think the rule
1:22:49Captain Lou said at the beginning that
1:22:51supplies an exam slave is allowed to
1:22:53keep for himself cannot be seized by
1:22:55transcendent ones, was just empty words.
1:22:58Lyn Mo<unk>'s voice was very calm, but
1:23:00it exploded through the entire camp like
1:23:02thunder. The air was deathly silent, and
1:23:05the exam slaves did not even dare
1:23:07breathe. Only then did they realize that
1:23:09if Mad Dog could directly come snatch
1:23:11Linmo's supplies today, tomorrow he
1:23:13could directly come snatch theirs, too.
1:23:15Mad Dog's expression changed
1:23:16drastically. I didn't. Kid, don't
1:23:19slap a big hat on me the moment
1:23:21you open your mouth. He roared, veins
1:23:23bulging on his forehead, and the air
1:23:25temperatures suddenly soared. Blazing
1:23:27flames emerged from his hands, about to
1:23:30smash directly toward Linmo and burn him
1:23:32to ashes. Linmo, who had long prepared
1:23:35for the worst, instantly drew his
1:23:37dagger. A physique three times that of
1:23:39an ordinary person erupted in an
1:23:41instant, preparing to rush straight at
1:23:43Mad Dog and try to cut his throat with
1:23:45one slash. Just as the battle was about
1:23:47to begin, a faint voice came from not
1:23:50far away. Enough. Linn Mo<unk>s figure
1:23:52holding the dagger and charging at Mad
1:23:54Dog stopped. and Mad Dog, who held a
1:23:56blazing fireball about to smash it down,
1:23:58also froze. Mad Dog's gaze unconsciously
1:24:01looked toward where Luan was. Looking at
1:24:04Luan's face, which showed no joy or
1:24:06anger, his heart thumped. As the knife
1:24:09in the group that handled dirty and
1:24:10exhausting work for Luan, the most loyal
1:24:13hound. No one knew better than him that
1:24:15Luan in this state was the most
1:24:17terrifying. He could feel that Luan was
1:24:19indeed very dissatisfied with him now.
1:24:21Cold sweat seeped from Mad Dog's
1:24:23forehead. He felt that if he could not
1:24:25properly handle this matter today, then
1:24:27next his evaluation in Luchuan's heart
1:24:30would probably drop sharply. Mad Dog's
1:24:32bloodshot eyes stared deathly at Linmo.
1:24:35The fireball in his hand dispersed, and
1:24:37he forced out a stiff smile. I was just
1:24:39joking with you. I'm a transcendent. Why
1:24:41would I bother robbing you of two bites
1:24:43of meat? I thought you were someone who
1:24:45knew gratitude because I sent you into
1:24:47the death exam you have today. Is it too
1:24:49much to ask you to show some gratitude?
1:24:51As he spoke, Mad Dog became more and
1:24:53more justified. He looked at Linmo and
1:24:56spread his hands helplessly. "If I had
1:24:58known earlier that you were this kind of
1:24:59whiteeyed wolf, I would never have taken
1:25:02care of you. Since you don't want to
1:25:03bring out any real sincerity, then
1:25:05forget it. You don't need to slap a big
1:25:07hat on me either." What kind of person I
1:25:09am? Doesn't Captain Lou know. With a
1:25:12cold snort, Mad Dog flicked his sleeves
1:25:14and left. The exam slaves watched Lynn
1:25:16Mo use a single sentence to force Mad
1:25:18Dog back and could not help secretly
1:25:20swallowing. Did you see Mad Dog's
1:25:23expression just now? How could I not?
1:25:25The moment Lin Mo said that, Mad Dog was
1:25:28almost scared out of his wits. In the
1:25:30future, never easily provoke this kid.
1:25:32Otherwise, with our small arms and legs,
1:25:35we won't even know how we died. All the
1:25:37exam slaves unconsciously stayed away
1:25:39from the area where Linmo was, not
1:25:41wanting to get too close to such a
1:25:43ruthless character. and the expressions
1:25:45of the several transcendent ones were
1:25:47all different now. Wugga squinted. That
1:25:49kid looks honest, but I didn't expect he
1:25:51also knows how to borrow a tiger's skin.
1:25:54Lu curled her lips slightly. If you
1:25:56can't beat them, borrowing force is the
1:25:58most wise choice, and he borrowed it
1:26:00just right. Luan smiled faintly.
1:26:02Following the rules and knowing how to
1:26:04use them is not a bad thing. The
1:26:06mysterious black robe girl did not join
1:26:08the discussion and only ate. Captain Mad
1:26:11Dog returned somewhat, trembling with
1:26:12fear. Luchuan looked at him with a
1:26:14smile. I sent you to burn a corpse and
1:26:17you managed to stir up quite a
1:26:18commotion. Mad Dog's face went pale.
1:26:21Captain, I really wasn't trying to
1:26:22oppose the rules you set. That kid, that
1:26:25kid wanted to use your knife to kill me.
1:26:27Luchan smiled. I can see that. Look at
1:26:29how scared you are. It's not even a big
1:26:31deal. Let this farce be over just like
1:26:34this. Even so, I could tell Mad Dog felt
1:26:36that this matter was absolutely not
1:26:38over. His standing in Luchuan's mind had
1:26:40probably plummeted. Damn it. Damn it.
1:26:42Damn it. That damn Lynmo. How dare he
1:26:45screw me over like that? Watching
1:26:47Luchuan pick up a piece of piping hot
1:26:49beef and savor it carefully, he knew
1:26:51that saying anything now was useless.
1:26:53Lynmo, I will kill you. For a long
1:26:55stretch during that meal, the camp ate
1:26:58in relative silence. But gradually it
1:27:00became lively again. The main topic was
1:27:02the conflict between LinMo and Mad Dog.
1:27:05Just now, you know, I actually think
1:27:07that Linmo has some real ability. He
1:27:10just hid behind Captain Luchuan's
1:27:12authority and scared Mad Dog off. What
1:27:14kind of ability is that? I could do it,
1:27:16too. Give me a break. If Mad Dog stood
1:27:18in front of you, your legs would shake
1:27:20and you'd stammer. Don't you slander me.
1:27:23Slander? During the day, you called him
1:27:25brother Mad Dog one moment after
1:27:26another, closer than you'd be to your
1:27:28own father. Did he even bother with you?
1:27:30The man curled his lip disdainfully.
1:27:33Dinner among the five transcendents
1:27:34gradually ended. Mad Dog, Brother Woo,
1:27:37and the blackroed girl returned to their
1:27:39own vehicles to rest. At dusk, the
1:27:41setting sun slanted across the barren
1:27:43land. "Luan held a map and planned
1:27:46tomorrow's route, trying to avoid overly
1:27:48densely populated areas as much as
1:27:50possible. What do you think of that,
1:27:52Lyno?" he suddenly asked. Lu, wearing a
1:27:55red cloak and sunglasses, stood nearby
1:27:57and thought for a moment. Calm,
1:27:59decisive, and sharp-minded, Lu knew what
1:28:02he was getting at. But even if someone
1:28:03like that becomes a transcendent, he
1:28:05won't obey you like Mad Dog. Luan
1:28:08smiled. Everyone has a place that suits
1:28:10them. Lu smiled. Who knows how far are
1:28:13we from Jang City now? Luan glanced at
1:28:15the map. At our current speed, about
1:28:17half a month. He paused, then added. But
1:28:20recently, death exams have been opening
1:28:22more and more frequently, and they're
1:28:24getting harder. The group of 200 is down
1:28:26to 100. We need more people, or we
1:28:29probably won't make it to Jon City.
1:28:30That's for you, the captain, to worry
1:28:32about. Lu turned and walked off
1:28:35elegantly. Night fell. All campfires and
1:28:37vehicle lights in the camp were turned
1:28:39off, but the night was not peaceful.
1:28:41From time to time, monster roars and
1:28:43strange shrill shrieks came from the
1:28:45distance. In the camp, the first half of
1:28:48the night was relatively quiet. But
1:28:49after midnight, faint moans and gasps
1:28:52rose from different tents, like the
1:28:54whimpers of kittens. I was in my own
1:28:56tent. My entire fortune consisted of
1:28:58three beef cans, a few bottles of water,
1:29:00a few loaves of bread, a dagger, a
1:29:03tricycle, one set of clothes, a set of
1:29:05repair tools, and other odds and ends.
1:29:08For now, I can borrow Luan's tiger skin
1:29:10to scare Mad Dog back. But transcendence
1:29:12are on the same side as transcendence.
1:29:14He will never suppress Mad Dog too much
1:29:16for the sake of a mere exam slave like
1:29:18me. Besides, this method can't last.
1:29:21When Mad Dog comes at me again, how will
1:29:23I deal with it? I lightly tapped the
1:29:25dagger against my palm. The huge gap in
1:29:27strength was right there. After thinking
1:29:29for a long time, I had no effective
1:29:31countermeasure. I could only take it one
1:29:33step at a time. I hope as soon as I go
1:29:35out tomorrow, a death exam descends. I
1:29:38thought this to myself, then set up my
1:29:40crude tent, grip the dagger, and close
1:29:42my eyes to rest. What I didn't notice
1:29:44was that after I said this, the holy
1:29:46angelic power on my body flickered. The
1:29:49next morning, rarely, there had been no
1:29:51monster or strange disturbance all
1:29:53night. in the tents. Most people had
1:29:55gotten a rare good sleep, but many were
1:29:57simply too hungry to sleep. Get up, all
1:29:59of you. Pack your things. There's a town
1:30:0120 km ahead. We're going to see if
1:30:04there's anything worth scavenging.
1:30:05Brother Wu<unk>s loud voice rang out. As
1:30:08soon as they heard there was a town 20
1:30:09km ahead, the exam slaves who had been
1:30:12slowly packing had light burst into
1:30:14their eyes, and their movements
1:30:15quickened. I had already packed my
1:30:17things, so I naturally understood why
1:30:19everyone was so excited. Because if they
1:30:21found anything valuable in the town,
1:30:23they could trade it to Luchuan for food,
1:30:25water, even gasoline. Though most of
1:30:28those supplies had been collected from
1:30:29the exam slaves in the first place.
1:30:31Feeling someone staring at me, I turned
1:30:33my head. Not far away, Mad Dog was
1:30:36watching me with cold, sinister eyes.
1:30:38When he saw me look over, he drew a
1:30:40finger across his throat. I knew that
1:30:42after we reached the town 20 km away and
1:30:44split up to search for supplies, Mad Dog
1:30:47would probably make his move against me.
1:30:48But now that things had come to this, I
1:30:50could only deal with it as it came.
1:30:52Block soldiers with generals, stop water
1:30:54with earth, move out. By 7:30, everyone
1:30:57had packed up and headed forward like a
1:30:59refugee procession, fleeing a famine
1:31:01year. But that refugee-like scene
1:31:03applied only to the exam slaves. All
1:31:05five transcendants drove vehicles. At
1:31:08the head was Lu Chuan, sitting in a
1:31:10specially modified heavy Dian truck that
1:31:12looked like a steel monster. Its entire
1:31:14cargo bed packed with supplies. Lu drove
1:31:16a Maserati. Brother Wu had a tough,
1:31:19durable off-road vehicle. Mad Dog had a
1:31:21flashy, obnoxious Ghostfire motorcycle.
1:31:24As for the black robe girl, she had a
1:31:26cool black Kawasaki racing motorcycle.
1:31:28At that moment, they were slowly driving
1:31:30at the very front of the group. Uncle
1:31:32Xiao and a few scattered exam slaves
1:31:34with some strength also drove rather
1:31:36worn out cars. Most people pushed or
1:31:39pulled because gasoline was getting
1:31:40harder and harder to find. Gasoline
1:31:42obtained through death exams was even
1:31:45more precious. The group had only walked
1:31:475 km when everyone inexplicably felt a
1:31:50sudden palpitation in their hearts. Then
1:31:52they saw a huge bloody dripping exam
1:31:55paper appear at the very front of the
1:31:56group slowly unfolding. Luan, who had
1:31:59planned to go straight to the town 20 km
1:32:01away to scavenge resources and recruit
1:32:04people, frowned deeply at the sudden
1:32:06death exam. Running into a death exam
1:32:08was normal, but this one was different.
1:32:10This exam paper was too big. Seeing the
1:32:12huge exam paper suddenly appear before
1:32:14them, the group fell into chaos. We've
1:32:17only walked a few steps and we've
1:32:19already run into a death exam. That's
1:32:21not the issue. Look at that exam paper.
1:32:24Doesn't it look like a death exam with
1:32:25at least three questions? Three
1:32:27questions. I remember a month ago, the
1:32:30death exam that reduced our group from
1:32:32150 people straight down to 100 also had
1:32:34three questions. Some exam slaves who
1:32:37had been picked up along the way didn't
1:32:38understand the specifics and asked in
1:32:40low voices, "What's different about a
1:32:42death exam with three questions? It's
1:32:44very different. First, the number of
1:32:46questions is positively correlated with
1:32:48the overall difficulty. The more
1:32:50questions there are, the harder the
1:32:52whole thing is compared with an ordinary
1:32:54single question death exam. Every
1:32:56question is twice as hard. And when the
1:32:58exam starts, you can only see the first
1:33:00question. Once you participate in the
1:33:02death exam at the first question, you
1:33:04have to finish all three questions in
1:33:06one go. In the middle of it, if deaths
1:33:08cause the number of examinees for the
1:33:10second or third question to become
1:33:12insufficient, more people must be
1:33:14supplied. The most terrifying part is
1:33:17that usually the later the question, the
1:33:19more examinees it needs and the harder
1:33:21it is. Unless you're a transcendent,
1:33:23it's very hard to survive to the third
1:33:25question. For a moment, everyone was
1:33:27panicked. Yet joy and sorrow are not
1:33:29shared alike between people in the
1:33:31group. I pushing a tricycle looked at
1:33:34that huge exam paper, my heart pounding
1:33:36wildly. It's here. After obtaining the
1:33:38death exam system, I truly wished I
1:33:41could run into a death exam with every
1:33:43step I took. And this was a death exam
1:33:45with three questions. If I can find
1:33:47resources to awaken a sequence in there
1:33:49or get a reward that can awaken a
1:33:51sequence, then after we reached the
1:33:53town, my gaze swept without a trace over
1:33:55Mad Dog at the front of the group. At
1:33:57that moment, Lu Chuan, Lu Yu, and the
1:34:00others who had stopped their vehicles
1:34:01and stepped out were looking at the huge
1:34:03death exam paper ahead with worry and
1:34:05anticipation. I wonder if this death
1:34:07exam is worth risking participation for.
1:34:10Brother Wu licked his lips, excitement
1:34:12in his eyes. That was how death exams
1:34:14were. Crisis and opportunity coexisted.
1:34:17If it was a death exam they were
1:34:18confident about, these pyramid tier
1:34:20powerhouses in the group would not
1:34:22casually give the opportunity to the
1:34:24exam slaves behind them. The exam
1:34:26slaves, knowing they would most likely
1:34:28become cannon fodder next, did not
1:34:30choose to flee. It was not only because
1:34:32of the transcendence intimidation, but
1:34:34also because the moment they saw the
1:34:36death exam paper before the death exam
1:34:38ended, none of them could leave this
1:34:40area. Look, the question has appeared.
1:34:42Amid a cry of shock, lines of text
1:34:44surfaced on the huge scarlet exam paper.
1:34:47First question, you are given a KFC
1:34:49Deluxe Family Bucket and a 2L bottle of
1:34:51ice cold Coca-Cola. You will choose from
1:34:53the following three options. A stay in
1:34:56the same room with an anomaly of unknown
1:34:58level for 1 hour. B. Kill an adult
1:35:01goblin. C. Go to the demon kitchen and
1:35:03cook a dish to please the food averse
1:35:05demon hound. Seeing the first question
1:35:07appear on the death exam paper, many
1:35:09people could not help but swallow hard.
1:35:11A KFC deluxe family bucket. 2 L of ice
1:35:14cold cola. In this apocalyptic world,
1:35:17these were hard currency and luxuries on
1:35:19the same level as cigarettes and
1:35:21alcohol. Meat was not especially hard
1:35:23for many transcendants to obtain. With a
1:35:25little ruthless exploitation of the exam
1:35:27slaves, they could have anything but ice
1:35:29cold cola. This stuff was absolute top
1:35:32tier luxury. Husband, I want fried
1:35:34chicken and cola. A woman in the group
1:35:36said softly. In the past, many people
1:35:38had called these junk food. But now that
1:35:40it was the apocalypse, who wouldn't want
1:35:42to wolf down a huge meal without caring
1:35:44about appearances? The question doesn't
1:35:46seem too hard. For option B, a strong
1:35:49adult man with a weapon has a good
1:35:50chance of killing an adult goblin. I
1:35:53want to risk it. Even if we have to hand
1:35:55over 70%, the remaining 30% is enough to
1:35:58keep us going two more days. In this
1:36:00damn weather, if I could get a mouthful
1:36:02of ice cold cola, I feel like I could
1:36:04die now without regret. The exam slaves
1:36:07discussed noisily. At the very front,
1:36:09Luan looked at the three options and
1:36:12after thinking for a moment, spoke. What
1:36:14do you all think? Brother Wu grinned.
1:36:16Looking only at option B for us
1:36:18transcendence. This is a welfare
1:36:20question. Mad dog licked his lips. A
1:36:22mere adult goblin. Even without using
1:36:25sequence power with a transcendence
1:36:27physique, I can easily crush it to
1:36:29death. You'd better look carefully at
1:36:30option C. Lu spoke indifferently. The
1:36:33question mentions something like a
1:36:34demon. Even if it's only a demon hound
1:36:37that already makes clear the danger
1:36:38level of this death exam. Luan looked at
1:36:41the three options and nodded. In option
1:36:44A, an anomaly of unknown level, that
1:36:46variable is too great. It could be a
1:36:48wandering ghost that even ordinary
1:36:50people can drive off with blood and
1:36:52vigor, or it could be a terrifying
1:36:54existence that instantly kills
1:36:55transcendents like us. Option B, kill an
1:36:58adult goblin. It looks simple, but how
1:37:01exactly is adult defined? Is 18 adult?
1:37:04Is 80 adult? Is 180 also adult? It's
1:37:07very likely a trap. As for option C,
1:37:09Luan's gaze became deep. Anything
1:37:12related to demons is best not touched at
1:37:14all. Lu Yu, Brother Wu, and the others
1:37:17all agreed with that last sentence
1:37:19because they had seen the fates of exam
1:37:20slaves who chose options related to
1:37:22demons. Even if they gained terrifying
1:37:24power, in the end, very few met a good
1:37:27end. Even benefits obtained from demons
1:37:30through death exams required
1:37:31unimaginable costs. Reading time ended.
1:37:34This round of the death exam needed 20
1:37:36examinees. As the mechanical voice fell
1:37:39beneath the huge exam paper, desks and
1:37:41chairs appeared out of thin air, neatly
1:37:43arranged in four columns. Examinees,
1:37:46please enter the exam grounds within 5
1:37:48minutes. If there are insufficient
1:37:50examinees after 5 minutes, examinees
1:37:53will be randomly selected from everyone
1:37:55present and forced to participate in the
1:37:57death exam. The mechanical voice had no
1:38:00emotion whatsoever. A huge countdown
1:38:02appeared on the exam paper. Looking at
1:38:04those 20 sets of desks and chairs,
1:38:06everyone present drew a sharp breath.
1:38:08The first question already needs 20
1:38:10examinees. The difficulty of this death
1:38:12exam is probably greater than we
1:38:14imagined. After all, last time a three
1:38:17question death exam appeared. The first
1:38:19question only needed 12 people. For the
1:38:21second question, it increased to 24. And
1:38:24for the third question, it went up to a
1:38:26terrifying 48. The first question
1:38:28already needs 20 people. How many of
1:38:30those who join the first round can
1:38:32survive to the third question? The exam
1:38:34slaves instantly exploded into an
1:38:36uproar. The strong men who had
1:38:38originally planned to risk participating
1:38:40in the death exam slowly retreated back
1:38:42into the group because they could not
1:38:44see the last two questions. The
1:38:46transcendents did not act rashly.
1:38:48Brother Wu and Mad Dog, who had
1:38:50originally been eager to try, saw 20
1:38:52desks and chairs appear, and most of
1:38:54their intention to participate in the
1:38:56death exam died out. not participating.
1:38:59Luan looked at Brother Wu and Mad Dog.
1:39:01These two had just been preparing to
1:39:03join the death exam. Brother Wu grinned.
1:39:05No need. A KFC family bucket and a
1:39:08bottle of ice cold cola. That's all. If
1:39:10I enter now, I'll have to tough out the
1:39:12next two questions without knowing what
1:39:14they are. Better to watch the situation
1:39:16first. With a death exam of this
1:39:18difficulty, I don't believe not a single
1:39:20one of the 20 will be lost. I can look
1:39:22at the later questions and then decide
1:39:24whether to join. Same thing. A cold
1:39:26smile appeared on Mad Dog's face.
1:39:28"Anyway, if these exam slaves pass, they
1:39:31still have to hand over 70% to us. Why
1:39:33risk my life for some fried chicken and
1:39:35cola?" "What about you?" Luchuan looked
1:39:38at Lu. Lu held her full chest and said
1:39:40calmly, "The situation is unclear. Let's
1:39:43watch one question first." Luan<unk>s
1:39:45gaze fell on the last person, the
1:39:47mysterious blackroed girl. She had
1:39:50already walked out from the group of
1:39:51five. "Ing, you're going to participate
1:39:53in this round of the death exam." There
1:39:55was some surprise in Luy<unk>'s voice.
1:39:57The black robe girl did not speak. She
1:39:59only quietly sat down at the first exam
1:40:01desk. Seeing that a transcendent was
1:40:03actually participating in this death
1:40:05exam, the exam slaves who had been
1:40:07somewhat frightened became eager to try
1:40:09again. For minutes left. If anyone wants
1:40:11to participate voluntarily, enter the
1:40:14exam grounds yourselves. Otherwise, we
1:40:16can only choose randomly. Luan's calm
1:40:18voice fell into everyone's ears. In the
1:40:21group, I instantly sensed Mad Dog stare.
1:40:23Huh? Is he planning to force me into the
1:40:25death exam again? I murmured inwardly.
1:40:28But I was going to disappoint Mad Dog
1:40:30because this time I didn't need Mad Dog
1:40:32to shove me in, I would volunteer. If I
1:40:34could awaken a bloodline in this death
1:40:36exam. Then after we reached the town
1:40:38ahead and split up, it would be Mad
1:40:40Dog's death day. I had already made my
1:40:42decision, but I was not in a hurry to
1:40:44step out and enter the exam grounds.
1:40:46Because if I went now, I would stand out
1:40:48too much. It was better to act like the
1:40:50vast majority of exam slaves. struggle,
1:40:53hesitate, weigh the options, and then
1:40:55make a difficult choice. The exam slaves
1:40:57beside me discussed in low voices. Even
1:41:00a transcendent is participating. The
1:41:02difficulty of the death exam probably
1:41:04isn't too high. That's right. If it were
1:41:06a certain death death exam, a
1:41:08transcendent wouldn't join. But for a
1:41:10transcendent, a death exam they can
1:41:12easily pass might very well be certain
1:41:14death for us exam slaves. I have no food
1:41:17left. I have to gamble my life. Anyone
1:41:19coming with me? Some who had already run
1:41:21out of food and water hardened their
1:41:23scalps and stood out. Count me in.
1:41:26it. With these muscles and a machete in
1:41:28hand, am I supposed to fear an adult
1:41:30goblin? After someone stepped forward to
1:41:32take the lead, I also stood up so I
1:41:34wouldn't seem so conspicuous. Lu Chuan,
1:41:37Lu Yu, Brother Wu, and the others were
1:41:39somewhat surprised. They watched me sit
1:41:41down in the seat to the right of Ingu,
1:41:43whose whole body was shrouded in a black
1:41:45robe. Mad Dog sneered. Do you really
1:41:47think that because you lucked out and
1:41:49survived the last round, you'll survive
1:41:51this one, too? In a death exam with
1:41:53multiple questions, the first question
1:41:55is usually the easiest. And one question
1:41:58follows another with no time to breathe.
1:42:00Many who survive the first and second
1:42:02questions end up dying in the third.
1:42:04Lynmo, you're seeking death yourself. It
1:42:07saves me the trouble. After the 15th
1:42:09person entered the exam grounds, the
1:42:11remaining exam slaves looked at one
1:42:13another, but not another person stepped
1:42:14forward. Didn't you say you were almost
1:42:16out of food? Why aren't you joining? An
1:42:18exam slave lowered his voice and spoke
1:42:20to a sly looking man beside him. The man
1:42:23curled his lip. You won't die from not
1:42:25eating for 2 or 3 days. At worst, when
1:42:28we get to the town ahead and scavenge
1:42:29for resources, I'll risk my life a bit
1:42:31more. I'll always be able to find some
1:42:33good stuff to trade to Uncle Xiao for
1:42:35food and last a few more days. But
1:42:37joining a death exam with three
1:42:38questions like this, there's a high
1:42:40chance I'll die right away. Aren't you
1:42:42really going to risk it? Three
1:42:44questions. If you survive, maybe you'll
1:42:46have a chance to awaken a sequence and
1:42:48become a transcendent, instantly
1:42:50becoming someone above others. Or like
1:42:52Lynmo, you could get physical
1:42:54enhancement. Aside from not being as
1:42:56strong as a transcendent, your status
1:42:58would be above all exam slaves.
1:43:00Physical enhancement isn't so
1:43:03easy to get. As for awakening a
1:43:05sequence, hump, look at the five
1:43:07awakened ones in the group. Apart from
1:43:08that bastard Mad Dog, I mean, brother
1:43:10Mad Dog, which one didn't awaken a
1:43:12sequence naturally? Besides, only one
1:43:15transcendent in the group joined. The
1:43:17other four haven't moved at all. Even
1:43:18they don't dare join. What makes small
1:43:20fry like a stare? You're still young.
1:43:22You need to watch and learn. After
1:43:24saying that, the man silently stepped
1:43:26backward, putting everyone else in front
1:43:28of him. If no one else volunteers,
1:43:30we<unk>ll have to randomly select people
1:43:32to fill the empty seats. There was
1:43:34plenty of low discussion, but not a
1:43:36single person stepped forward. Those
1:43:38confident in their combat ability and
1:43:40those who had been starving for days
1:43:42were already sitting in the exam
1:43:44grounds. Seeing that there were still
1:43:46five exam desks with no one in front of
1:43:48them, the exam slaves all shrank their
1:43:50necks. Luchuan did not get angry. He
1:43:52only said lightly, "Go, mad dog," with
1:43:55perfect understanding, stepped toward
1:43:57the exam slaves. Seeing him coming, the
1:43:59exam slaves expressions changed
1:44:01drastically. They all wanted to shrink
1:44:03back as if the one walking toward them
1:44:05was not a person but a vengeful ghost
1:44:08come to take their lives. Mad Dog came
1:44:10before them like a god who held the
1:44:12power of life and death over all beings
1:44:14and looked down his nose contemptuously
1:44:16at these exam slaves who were shrinking
1:44:18their necks, lowering their heads and
1:44:21desperately retreating. You you and you
1:44:23too. Mad Dog pointed one by one into the
1:44:26crowd. Every exam slave he pointed at
1:44:28turned ashen. Brother Mad Dog, I just
1:44:30joined a death exam 3 days ago. A young
1:44:33man who had been pointed at gritted his
1:44:34teeth and forced out these words. Mad
1:44:37Dog's face instantly fell. Are you
1:44:39trying to say you don't want to
1:44:40participate in the death exam? Did each
1:44:42and every one of them really think they
1:44:44were Lin Mo? Seeing the blazing fireball
1:44:47appear in Mad Dog's hand, the young
1:44:49man's expression changed drastically. He
1:44:51squeezed out a smile uglier than crying
1:44:53and waved his hands frantically. No, no,
1:44:56no. I mean, being chosen by brother Mad
1:44:58Dog is my honor. Thank you so much,
1:45:00brother Mad Dog. Mad Dog snorted coldly,
1:45:03at least you know what's good for you.
1:45:05But since you're so grateful to me, if
1:45:07you come out alive, don't be like that
1:45:09ungrateful wolf Lin Mo. All talk and no
1:45:12substance. Definitely. Definitely. Then
1:45:14why are you still standing here waiting
1:45:16for me to carry you over? Mad Dog
1:45:18mocked. How would I dare trouble brother
1:45:20Mad Dog? I'll go myself. The young man
1:45:22walked trembling toward the last examine
1:45:24seat. Every step was so difficult, as if
1:45:27it were not a seat, but an execution
1:45:29ground. When he slowly sat down, all 20
1:45:32seats were now filled. That mechanical
1:45:34cold voice sounded again. The last
1:45:36examinee has entered the exam grounds.
1:45:38The death exam officially begins. Please
1:45:41submit your answer within 10 minutes.
1:45:43Those who exceed the time limit will be
1:45:45erased. A huge countdown appeared on the
1:45:47exam paper. These options, Do any of you
1:45:50see anything different? What could be
1:45:51different? Every option is written
1:45:53clearly. For ordinary people like us,
1:45:56the highest survival probability is
1:45:58option B. Adult goblins. You've all seen
1:46:00them. Their actual combat strength is
1:46:02about the same as a healthy adult human.
1:46:04Just charge in and fight for your life.
1:46:07I haven't had much food for 3 days, and
1:46:09I've been traveling every day. If I run
1:46:11into an adult goblin, I'll almost
1:46:13certainly die. I have to choose another
1:46:15option. A bald man with bulging muscles
1:46:17sneered. That's your problem, trash. I
1:46:20think option A is pretty good. If I run
1:46:22into one of the weaker anomalies, the
1:46:24reward is basically free. Random
1:46:26anomaly, the fluctuation is too great.
1:46:29If you run into something like a red
1:46:30clothed female ghost, forget 1 hour.
1:46:33Surviving 5 seconds would be impressive,
1:46:35and you're in a room with nowhere to
1:46:37run. What about option C? Go to the
1:46:39demon kitchen, cook a dish, and please
1:46:41the food averse demon hound. It's just a
1:46:44dog. How picky can it be? As long as
1:46:46it's meat, cook it half raw, and toss it
1:46:48over. Won't it eat until its mouth is
1:46:50greasy? Besides, this involves demons.
1:46:53If we can strike some deal with a demon,
1:46:55even at a considerable price, it could
1:46:57let us completely escape our current
1:46:59predicament. I somewhat regret sitting
1:47:01here. The 20 candidates around me were
1:47:03chattering among themselves, but no one
1:47:05spoke to Ingu, the superhumans sitting
1:47:07in the first seat. It wasn't that they
1:47:09didn't want to, it was that they didn't
1:47:11dare. The gap between superhumans and
1:47:13ordinary people could almost be
1:47:15described as the gap between two
1:47:16species. Except for a few candidates who
1:47:19had raised dogs and were inclined to
1:47:21choose option C. The rest as a whole
1:47:23still leaned toward option B. Those who
1:47:25had no choice but to take the death exam
1:47:27because they were about to starve were
1:47:28more inclined toward option A. Maybe if
1:47:30they were lucky, the thing they
1:47:32encountered after going in would be one
1:47:33of those ghosts that could dissipate at
1:47:35any moment. Even so, from time to time,
1:47:38people still cast glances at me. After
1:47:40all, I had just reaped a huge harvest in
1:47:43the death exam. Every move I made would
1:47:45have a huge influence on the
1:47:46candidates's present. LG, what do you
1:47:49think? An exam slave in the back row
1:47:51finally couldn't hold back and asked in
1:47:53a low voice. I didn't even turn my head.
1:47:55I only said indifferently. I'll watch
1:47:57while sitting. With that one sentence, I
1:48:00shut down the conversation, "What's so
1:48:01impressive? It's just that in the last
1:48:03round, he got lucky and happened to
1:48:05receive the angel's blessing." Right.
1:48:07Wong Chong, sitting in the back row,
1:48:09clenched his teeth, his eyes full of
1:48:11malice. That's right. Just a moment ago,
1:48:14Mad Dog had chosen him first. How was
1:48:16this random? This was clearly targeting
1:48:18him. But so what if he knew he was being
1:48:20targeted? The other party was a
1:48:22superhuman. Other than swallowing his
1:48:24broken teeth, what could he do? Under
1:48:26the black cloak, Ingu<unk>s slightly
1:48:28curious gaze lingered on me for a
1:48:29moment, then returned to the options.
1:48:32Even though she was a superhuman facing
1:48:34a death exam with three questions, she
1:48:36didn't dare relax at all. And by now, I
1:48:38had already begun the simulation.
1:48:40Simulation begins. Looking at the three
1:48:42options before me, I thought that for my
1:48:44current self, the safest choice was
1:48:46option B. Kill an adult goblin. With
1:48:49three times the physique of an ordinary
1:48:51adult, killing a mere adult goblin would
1:48:53be easy. Dot. I chose option B. When I
1:48:56opened my eyes, I had already appeared
1:48:58in a dense jungle, and standing before
1:49:00me was a somewhat dumbfounded goblin. It
1:49:03was clad in iron armor with a short
1:49:05sword at its waist and a dark black
1:49:07spiked club in its hand. It was burly
1:49:09with bulging muscles, not at all like
1:49:11the so-called adult goblins I had
1:49:13encountered before, which were thin and
1:49:15weak and rireed of sleaziness. After
1:49:17receiving the angel's blessing, my
1:49:19physical fitness had increased
1:49:21three-fold. Yet facing this goblin, I
1:49:23actually felt somewhat breathless.
1:49:25Meeting the fears goblin's gaze, neither
1:49:28I nor it made a rash move. Both were
1:49:30judging the others threat level. I felt
1:49:32that I had fallen into a trap in the
1:49:34death exam question. It was obvious that
1:49:36the word adult in the question referred
1:49:38only to age, not level. This goblin
1:49:41before me, 2 m tall, exploding with
1:49:43muscles, covered in armor with a short
1:49:46sword at its waist and a ferocious
1:49:48spiked club in hand, was absolutely a
1:49:50goblin elite. a being comparable to a
1:49:52sequence 9 superhuman. After confirming
1:49:55that my aura posed no threat, the goblin
1:49:57elite grinned and slowly walked toward
1:50:00me. I knew that facing a goblin elite
1:50:02comparable to a sequence 9 superhuman,
1:50:04if I dared turn my back and flee, the
1:50:07next second would be my death. I gripped
1:50:09my only weapon, that dagger, and stared
1:50:12fixedly at the goblin elite approaching
1:50:14me, preparing for a desperate struggle.
1:50:16My mind raced as I tried to find its
1:50:18weakness, but I found that aside from
1:50:19its neck and eyes, this goblin elite had
1:50:22no weakness exposed to the air. The iron
1:50:24armor on its body looked crude, but it
1:50:27was real metal armor. In ancient times,
1:50:29having a blade was fine, but having
1:50:31armor was rebellion. One could imagine
1:50:33how terrifying the boost from a full
1:50:35suit of iron armor was. The goblin elite
1:50:38steps toward me gradually quickened,
1:50:40finally becoming a run. I watched as it
1:50:42leaped several meters high and raised
1:50:44its spiked club to smash down at me.
1:50:46Having already stored up power, I
1:50:48exploded with all three times my
1:50:50physique, gripped my dagger, and stabbed
1:50:52toward its lower body. However, the
1:50:55moment before my dagger struck it, the
1:50:56Goblin Elite's black iron spiked club
1:50:58had already smashed into me. My whole
1:51:01body was sent flying backward and
1:51:03slammed heavily into a large tree. I
1:51:05coughed violently, pains surging through
1:51:07me. Several of my ribs were broken. My
1:51:10internal organs were shattered and the
1:51:11blood holes smashed out by the spiked
1:51:13club sprayed blood wildly. I knew that
1:51:16even if a miracle happened next and I
1:51:18killed the Goblin Elite, if I went back
1:51:19in my current state, I still wouldn't
1:51:21survive. Watching the Goblin Elite step
1:51:24toward me, my trembling hand grip the
1:51:26dagger and I trembled as I tried to
1:51:28stand up for a final desperate struggle.
1:51:30However, the Goblin Elite spiked club
1:51:32had already smashed into me again. I
1:51:35fell to the ground to take revenge on me
1:51:37for suddenly appearing and giving it a
1:51:39fright. It didn't smash any of its
1:51:41strikes directly into my head. It wanted
1:51:43me not to die so quickly. After more
1:51:45than a dozen blows, the dagger in my
1:51:47hand fell to the ground. I died.
1:51:49Simulation ended. Score 30 points.
1:51:52Evaluation. You fell into the trap in
1:51:54the death exam option. Adult goblin did
1:51:56not refer to goblin level, but goblin
1:51:58age. You encountered an elite among
1:52:00elites. Babu, facing such a powerful
1:52:03enemy, you showed no cowardice and
1:52:05fought to the very end. Although you
1:52:07were being beaten the entire time, being
1:52:10able to endure so many blows before
1:52:12dying was already quite good. The corner
1:52:14of my eye twitched. The survivors among
1:52:16the candidates who were preparing to
1:52:17choose option B were going to have quite
1:52:19the treat next. The combat power of this
1:52:21goblin elite baboo was probably strong
1:52:23even among sequence 9 superhums. Not to
1:52:26mention its equipment, which was almost
1:52:28armed to the teeth. Just that terrifying
1:52:30brute strength alone meant normal
1:52:32sequence nine superhumans absolutely did
1:52:35not have that kind of physique. There
1:52:36was still plenty of time. Let me try and
1:52:38see if there were any other variables in
1:52:40this option. Continue simulation. While
1:52:42I was simulating, the superhumans
1:52:44watching were also discussing. Brother
1:52:46Wu said with a smile. I didn't expect
1:52:48that Brat Lin Mo to voluntarily take
1:52:50part in this three question death exam.
1:52:53Young people are just hoted. Mad Dog, do
1:52:55you think he can survive to the end of
1:52:57all three questions this time? Who
1:52:59knows? Hearing that, Mad Dog sneered.
1:53:02Lady Luck won't always stand by his
1:53:04side. Does he really think a three-
1:53:05question death exam is the same as a one
1:53:08question one? Brother Wu grinned. Why
1:53:10make things so tense with that brat
1:53:11limo? I remember he joined the team in
1:53:14the same batch as you. Speaking of
1:53:15which, among that batch, the only ones
1:53:18still alive now seem to be you, too.
1:53:20You're both fellow sufferers. How big a
1:53:22deal is it? whose fellow suffers with
1:53:24him. Mad Dog's expression instantly
1:53:26turned cold as if he had remembered
1:53:28something and he clenched his teeth.
1:53:30Brother Wu narrowed his eyes and
1:53:31thought, "Oh ho, there's more to it. So,
1:53:34it's not just that he can't stand that
1:53:35brat Linmo." But he didn't ask further.
1:53:38No matter what grudge or entanglement
1:53:39existed between Lin Mo and Mad Dog, or
1:53:42whether it was simply dislike, it had
1:53:44nothing to do with him. Whoever was
1:53:46strong, he would buddy up with. Brother
1:53:48Wu grinned. I bet that brat Linmo will
1:53:50choose B. With his current three-fold
1:53:52physique boost, killing an adult goblin
1:53:54is just a matter of one slash. Mad Dog
1:53:58did not refute what brother was said.
1:53:59True, but the second and third questions
1:54:02probably won't be like the first at all.
1:54:04Mad Dog looked at me in front of the
1:54:05exam desk and gave a sinister laugh. If
1:54:08necessary, in the next two questions, he
1:54:10would personally enter and find a chance
1:54:12to send me on my way. Simulation begins.
1:54:15I once again chose option B. When I was
1:54:17teleported to a spot not far from the
1:54:19Goblin Elite Baboo, it froze for a
1:54:21moment. I immediately gripped my dagger
1:54:23and charged at it, taking advantage of
1:54:25the moment before it was ready to catch
1:54:27it off guard. However, I still
1:54:29underestimated the ferocity of a Goblin
1:54:31Elite. When I suddenly attacked, the
1:54:33combat instinct carved into the bones of
1:54:35the Goblin Elite Baboo was activated,
1:54:38and it swung its black iron spiked club
1:54:40straight at me. That heavy black iron
1:54:42spike club in the elite goblin's hand
1:54:44was like a wooden stick. Light, nimble,
1:54:47swift, and quick. A powerful blow
1:54:49slammed fiercely into my head. My head
1:54:52exploded like a watermelon. Brain matter
1:54:54splattering everywhere. I died.
1:54:56Simulation ended. Score 30 points.
1:54:59Evaluation. At the first moment the
1:55:01option began, you made the most agile
1:55:03response. Unfortunately, the absolute
1:55:06gap in strength was not something this
1:55:07little bit of initiative could make up
1:55:09for. I didn't get discouraged and
1:55:11continued simulating. I had a feeling
1:55:13that if I could successfully kill the
1:55:15elite goblin Baboo, there might be a
1:55:17huge reward. That was how the death exam
1:55:19worked. Among those seemingly certain
1:55:21death options, if you could endure
1:55:23through them, there would often be
1:55:24unexpected gains. Although the vast
1:55:26majority of people could not endure
1:55:28through them, simulation begins. I did
1:55:30not rashly attack the Goblin Elite Boo,
1:55:33but used the complex terrain to maneuver
1:55:35and fight it, searching for an opening.
1:55:37Unfortunately, although my footwork was
1:55:39agile and I used the complex terrain to
1:55:42make it so that the elite goblin bub
1:55:44temporarily had no way to deal with me
1:55:46before absolute strength, these little
1:55:48clever tricks of mine were meaningless.
1:55:50I was killed by the goblin elite bubu.
1:55:53Simulation ended. Score 35. Evaluation.
1:55:56Your stamina is inferior to the enemies.
1:55:59Playing a war of attrition. The only one
1:56:01you can wear down is yourself. Continue.
1:56:04Like an emotionless robot, I recited
1:56:06silently in my heart. Yet the fighting
1:56:08spirit in my eyes grew stronger. I
1:56:11refused to believe it. Simulation
1:56:13begins. This time I lasted 5 minutes
1:56:15longer than last time. Because of my
1:56:17teasing, Baboo did not smash my head
1:56:19this time. After breaking my limbs, it
1:56:21threw me onto an ant nest. What kind of
1:56:24grudge was this? The corner of my eye
1:56:26twitched. I died. Simulation ended.
1:56:28Score 40 points. Evaluation average.
1:56:32Continue simulation. This time, facing
1:56:34the spiked club Baboo threw at me. I had
1:56:37long since become familiar with its same
1:56:38three tricks. I lowered my head and
1:56:40dodged it. Even the smooth Baboo was
1:56:42somewhat dumbfounded, but without the
1:56:44burden of the spiked club, Baboo became
1:56:47even faster. When it charged in front of
1:56:49me, I swung my dagger in a final
1:56:51counterattack. But my dagger only left a
1:56:54shallow scratch on its chest armor. I
1:56:56died. Simulation ended. I died.
1:56:58Simulation ended. This time I forced the
1:57:01elite goblin baboo to draw the short
1:57:03sword at its waist. I died. I died. I
1:57:06died. I died. After simulating many
1:57:09times in a row, every time I died
1:57:11because I couldn't break through its
1:57:12armor. There was even one time when my
1:57:14dagger successfully slashed across
1:57:16Baboo's throat, yet it did not
1:57:18completely cut its throat open. The skin
1:57:20defense of the elite goblin Baboo, even
1:57:22if not as good as the iron armor it
1:57:24wore, was probably almost as strong. The
1:57:27longest time I dragged the fight out
1:57:28with it for nearly half an hour. But due
1:57:30to one slip, my head was still smashed
1:57:33apart by one punch from Boo. Again and
1:57:35again, I simulated. I had already
1:57:37thoroughly learned the elite goblin
1:57:39Bubbu's level of strength, attack
1:57:41patterns, temperament, and weaknesses.
1:57:43This time, I should be able to kill it.
1:57:45I glanced at the time on the exam paper.
1:57:47Because every time I died very quickly,
1:57:49there were still 7 minutes left before
1:57:51answering. I had plenty of time to
1:57:53slowly grind the elite goblin Baboo to
1:57:55death. Continue. Simulation begins.
1:57:58Using the experience gained from dozens
1:58:00of previous deaths, I finally killed the
1:58:02elite goblin Baboo at the cost of being
1:58:05severely wounded and near death. Baboo
1:58:07clutched its throat from which blood
1:58:09sprayed wildly and looked at me in
1:58:11disbelief. Bathed in its blood, there
1:58:14was not a trace of emotion in my eyes,
1:58:16as if I were a precision operating
1:58:18killing machine completing a task,
1:58:20watching it die quietly. When I heard
1:58:22the cold mechanical voice of the death
1:58:24exam game announced that I had
1:58:25successfully killed an adult goblin, my
1:58:27tot nerves finally relaxed. I obtained
1:58:30Bubbu's armor, spiked club, and shorts
1:58:32sword. Other than that, there were no
1:58:34other benefits. Even someone as calm as
1:58:36me could not help but want to curse at
1:58:38this moment, but I held it in. After
1:58:40coming out, I was severely wounded and
1:58:42near death. Lu Chuan, Lu Yu, and others
1:58:45saw the entire process of me killing the
1:58:48elite goblin Baboo. They believed I was
1:58:50worth investing in. If one day I
1:58:52awakened a sequence and became a
1:58:54superhuman, it would be of great help
1:58:56for the entire squad to reach Jang City
1:58:58alive. But Brother Wu and Mad Dog firmly
1:59:00opposed it, believing that wasting
1:59:02precious potions on an ordinary person
1:59:04who was merely a little better at
1:59:06fighting was simply a sin. Luchuan
1:59:08thought for a moment and also felt that
1:59:10what they said made sense. If I had
1:59:12already become a superhuman and was
1:59:14severely wounded and near death, he
1:59:16might have taken out a precious potion
1:59:17to save me. But right now, I was
1:59:20ultimately just an ordinary person. At
1:59:22night, Mad Dog came to send me on my
1:59:24way. All my equipment was taken directly
1:59:26by Mad Dog. All the superhumans knew
1:59:28what had happened, but no one would
1:59:30speak up for a dead man. Simulation
1:59:32ended. Score 70. Evaluation. Although in
1:59:35the end, all the resources you brought
1:59:37back ended up benefiting your enemy Mad
1:59:39Dog. But with strength like an ant,
1:59:42killing the Goblin Elite Baboo is still
1:59:44astonishing. The score was not high.
1:59:46Looking at this simulation result, I was
1:59:48not discouraged either. When I saw in
1:59:50the simulation that I was severely
1:59:51wounded and near death, I already knew
1:59:53what would happen after leaving the exam
1:59:55hall and returning to that cruel squad.
1:59:57The only thing that slightly surprised
1:59:59me was that Luan actually put on a show
2:00:02and held a meeting to discuss whether to
2:00:04save me. If he truly wanted to save me,
2:00:06why would he need to hold a meeting to
2:00:07solicit others opinions? I shook my
2:00:10head. Luchuan had always been the one
2:00:12whose word was law in the squad. If he
2:00:14intended to do something, even if the
2:00:16other four superhumans in the squad all
2:00:18opposed it, he would still do it. It was
2:00:20nothing more than taking the opportunity
2:00:22to farm a wave of reputation. After all,
2:00:25the captain was merciful. The captain
2:00:27was one who could recognize talent. But
2:00:29it was all because brother Woo and Mad
2:00:30Dog opposed it that he finally gave up
2:00:32on rescuing me, who had just begun to
2:00:34show promise. Shaking my head without
2:00:36really caring, I began the next round of
2:00:39simulation. Since there was no benefit
2:00:41from the elite goblin other than the
2:00:43equipment it dropped, then the benefits
2:00:44in option B were somewhere else. This
2:00:46time I did not take the initiative to
2:00:48attack the goblin elite boo. I turned
2:00:50and fled. I knew that with goblins, if
2:00:52you saw one, there had to be a whole
2:00:54nest nearby and I could be sure that the
2:00:56goblin tribe was nearby because goblins
2:00:59never hunt alone. The goblin elite baboo
2:01:01was here, which meant its tribe was
2:01:03nearby. Although what the death exam
2:01:05directly sent before me was an existence
2:01:07I could not defeat. Its tribe definitely
2:01:09had ordinary adult goblins. The option
2:01:12was to kill one adult goblin, but it did
2:01:14not specify which one had to be killed.
2:01:16Based on the state of the surrounding
2:01:18vegetation, I judged the direction in
2:01:20which the goblin nest was most likely
2:01:22located. It was behind me. Seeing the
2:01:24direction I fled, the goblin elite Bubbu
2:01:27instantly entered a berserk state. Its 2
2:01:29m plus burly body ran rapidly through
2:01:32the forest, preparing to chase me down
2:01:34and smash me to death. However, this
2:01:37time, relying on my agility, I dodged
2:01:39its attacks many times. Babu, in such a
2:01:42state, was extremely berserk for a time.
2:01:44Seeing me getting closer and closer to
2:01:46its tribe, its irritability clearly
2:01:48increased. Running at full speed, I felt
2:01:51the footsteps of the goblin elite
2:01:53chasing me behind suddenly disappear.
2:01:55Confused, I looked back. But before I
2:01:57could see clearly, a heavy black iron
2:01:59spiked club had already entered my field
2:02:01of vision. I felt that I might be about
2:02:03to die. But in repeated battles with
2:02:05Babu, dodging its spiked club seemed to
2:02:08have become my instinct. I tilted my
2:02:10head and directly dodged Baboo's sureill
2:02:12spiked club throw. The spiked club
2:02:14smashed into a large tree and was
2:02:16directly embedded in the trunk. The
2:02:18large tree trembled violently. Having
2:02:20missed this strike, even Baboo was
2:02:22stunned. This strike had never missed
2:02:24before. I continued running toward the
2:02:26goblin nest. "Damn human! Stop right
2:02:29there!" Bubbu roared. Instead, my
2:02:31movements became even faster. Using the
2:02:34dense vegetation as cover, I rushed out
2:02:36from the hillside and finally arrived at
2:02:38the goblin tribe. However, looking at
2:02:40the towering walls, watchtowers, and
2:02:42goblin soldiers patrolling back and
2:02:44forth with bows and arrows. And inside
2:02:47rows upon rows of dark, low wooden huts.
2:02:50I saw goblins weaving and a team of
2:02:52goblins escorting elf-like creatures
2:02:54toward a huge building. Similar to a
2:02:56human blacksmith's forge, the building
2:02:58belched thick smoke. A group of strong
2:03:00goblins swung heavy hammers, forging. At
2:03:03this moment, I suddenly understood where
2:03:05the iron armor on the goblin elite Baboo
2:03:07and the weapons in its hands came from.
2:03:10This they forged them themselves. I knew
2:03:12I had been wrong from the beginning. The
2:03:14place where the elite goblin Baboo was
2:03:16located was not a nest at all. This was
2:03:18a highly civilized goblin city. The two
2:03:20goblin guards stationed beneath the
2:03:22towering walls wore iron armor that even
2:03:24looked more advanced than Baboos, and
2:03:26their bodies were a size larger than
2:03:28Baboos. I knew that there was most
2:03:30likely no way for me to go in and kill
2:03:32an adult goblin. Human intruder. Baboo
2:03:35let out a roar, and the loud warning
2:03:37echoed in the air. The two large elite
2:03:39goblins guarding the entrance
2:03:40immediately raised their long spears and
2:03:43looked around alertly. The sentry in the
2:03:45wall watchtower quickly blew a horn. The
2:03:47patrolling goblin archers on the city
2:03:49walls quickly locked onto me on the
2:03:50hillside and a volley of flying arrows
2:03:53came through the air. I originally
2:03:55wanted to struggle a bit, but seeing a
2:03:57team of goblin elites pouring out from
2:03:58the entrance and splitting up to
2:04:00surround this side, while behind me was
2:04:02the goblin elite Boo, who had already
2:04:04chased up with a grin, I knew any
2:04:06struggle was useless. But just as I was
2:04:08waiting to die, from the tallest
2:04:10building in the goblin city, a huge
2:04:12fireball came through the air, burning
2:04:14all the flying arrows, then landed on
2:04:16me, burning me and the surrounding
2:04:18dozens of meters of land completely into
2:04:21ashes. A top the tallest building in the
2:04:23goblin city, a goblin wizard holding a
2:04:25staff said coldly, "Damn human imperial
2:04:28hounds. They discovered us this quickly?
2:04:30We must immediately go discuss
2:04:32countermeasures with the king." The
2:04:34goblin wizard did not even spare me
2:04:36another glance. Simulation ended. Score
2:04:3959. Evaluation. Your brain was more
2:04:41useful than expected, and you
2:04:43successfully found a possible way to
2:04:45survive. You even discovered the secret
2:04:47goblin city. Unfortunately, just because
2:04:50you found a way to survive, did it mean
2:04:51you wouldn't die? With the absolute gap
2:04:53in strength, it is very difficult for
2:04:55you to reach the goblin nest alive. I
2:04:57fell silent for a moment. Where had this
2:04:59sent me? Was this still a simple death
2:05:01exam option? Strictly speaking, even in
2:05:04such a situation, I actually still had
2:05:06one way to mix into the goblin city. For
2:05:08example, cut off my manhood and disguise
2:05:10myself as a woman. But when I thought of
2:05:12the huge blazing fireball that fell in
2:05:14the end, I felt that since they were so
2:05:16vigilant against humans, they might not
2:05:18necessarily allow me in either.
2:05:20Moreover, merely killing one adult
2:05:22goblin probably had no meaning. From the
2:05:24goblin city, I had discovered in the
2:05:26words briefly spoken by the goblin
2:05:28wizard in the simulation. I could be
2:05:30certain that there was a great deal in
2:05:31this death exam world that could be
2:05:33explored. There was a great opportunity
2:05:35in option B, but unfortunately with my
2:05:38current strength, it was absolutely
2:05:40impossible to obtain. I felt it was
2:05:42somewhat regrettable. I had already seen
2:05:44the tip of the iceberg of option B, but
2:05:46I simply did not have the strength to
2:05:47participate. I just wondered whether I
2:05:49would encounter this option again in
2:05:51future death exams. I closed my eyes
2:05:53slightly. Someone had long since
2:05:55discovered that the options that
2:05:56appeared in the death exam were not
2:05:58simply dungeons generated by the death
2:06:00exam game, but connections to real
2:06:02worlds or certain remnants of old days.
2:06:04These all truly existed. Therefore, the
2:06:07same options will appear again, but the
2:06:09content inside them is very likely to
2:06:11keep changing. The same multiplechoice
2:06:13question. This time, choosing death exam
2:06:16may be a pure freebie. The next time I
2:06:18choose it, it may become a certain death
2:06:20question. this option B. I'll leave it
2:06:22to the other examinees. I looked at the
2:06:24examinees who were already somewhat
2:06:26impatient to choose option B, and I had
2:06:28no intention of warning them. I wasn't
2:06:30familiar with these people. Whether they
2:06:32lived or died had nothing to do with me.
2:06:34If I saved them, would they necessarily
2:06:36be grateful? If I spoke up, how would I
2:06:38explain it? Apart from me, there must
2:06:40never be a second person in this world
2:06:42who knew about the death exam simulation
2:06:44system. This was my secret alone. If one
2:06:47more person knew, it would no longer be
2:06:49a secret. My gaze fell on the other two
2:06:51options for the first question. Demon. I
2:06:53took a deep breath. An evil power on the
2:06:55same level as angels. In past death
2:06:58exams, some people had encountered demon
2:07:00related options and had even gained
2:07:02powerful strength by making deals with
2:07:04demons. Begin simulation. I didn't
2:07:06agonize over it for long. In the
2:07:08apocalypse, the consensus of the vast
2:07:10majority was that any option involving
2:07:12demons should absolutely not be touched.
2:07:15But I had the death exam simulation
2:07:16system, so I could try slowly to trade
2:07:19with demons for power at the smallest
2:07:20cost or even without paying any cost at
2:07:23all. I really wanted to improve now, and
2:07:25I was very curious about what kind of
2:07:27power demons possessed. I wanted to
2:07:29experience it. Simulation begins. I
2:07:31chose option C. I had once raised a
2:07:33large dog, I thought I knew something
2:07:35about dogs. Having lived alone for a
2:07:37long time, I had honed good cooking
2:07:39skills, I felt that with these two
2:07:41things, cooking a delicious meal to
2:07:43please the demon hound should not be
2:07:45difficult. I successfully arrived at the
2:07:47castle of the lower demon Viscount
2:07:49Edington. Five other examinees arrived
2:07:51with me, among them, Wong Chong, whom I
2:07:53had already put on my mustkill list
2:07:55along with Mad Dog. I had never
2:07:57forgotten that inexplicably sinister and
2:07:59vicious look in his eyes. Most people
2:08:01who chose option C had experience
2:08:03raising dogs and were quite confident in
2:08:05themselves. There were actually five
2:08:07others who had chosen option C. I was
2:08:09slightly surprised, but then I let it
2:08:11go. Compared with testing magic potions
2:08:13or awakening a sequence through other
2:08:15hopeless paths, contacting demons, and
2:08:17obtaining superhuman power was clearly
2:08:19more reliable. After all, demons were
2:08:22always generous. Although this
2:08:23generosity required paying a huge price.
2:08:26For exam, slaves who live from one day
2:08:28to the next, as long as someone could
2:08:30give them power, whether angel or demon,
2:08:33they would be grateful as if receiving a
2:08:34gift just like me. Looking at the six of
2:08:37us, the demon butler said lightly. Lord
2:08:39Viscount Edington has been worried sick
2:08:41because his beloved demon hound has not
2:08:43been eating recently. If you can cook a
2:08:46delicacy that makes Lord Viscounts
2:08:47beloved demon hound eat and recover its
2:08:50vitality, then Lord Viscount will
2:08:52fulfill one wish for you. One wish.
2:08:54Hearing the demon butler's words, the
2:08:57five examinees instantly became excited,
2:08:59their faces full of longing, "This is
2:09:01why I chose option C," one exam slave
2:09:04clenched his fist and said excitedly, as
2:09:07if the wish was already his. In the
2:09:09matter of granting power, demons were
2:09:11always generous. Ordinarily, one would
2:09:13need to sign a contract and pay many
2:09:15unbearable prices. But now it seemed
2:09:17that as long as one cooked delicious
2:09:19food to please Viscount Edington's demon
2:09:21hound. Wong Chong<unk>s face was full of
2:09:23ecstasy and he could not resist glancing
2:09:25at me. He laughed wildly in his heart.
2:09:28As long as I get this wish and awaken a
2:09:30sequence to become a superhuman. Then
2:09:32whether it is Mad Dog or Linmo, I will
2:09:34trample them under my feet. Even a
2:09:36beauty like Lou, you will submit at my
2:09:38feet and be enjoyed by me. Watching the
2:09:40text generated by the simulation, I was
2:09:43speechless for a long time. Psycho. Has
2:09:45the wish reached your hands yet? And
2:09:47you're already fantasizing about the
2:09:48future. And I still could not understand
2:09:50how exactly I had offended Wong Chong
2:09:52just because after the first death exam,
2:09:55the treatment I received was completely
2:09:56different from Wong Chongs. But the ones
2:09:58who caused all this were Mad Dog and
2:10:00those superhumans, weren't they? Where
2:10:02did his hatred for me come from? Just
2:10:04like Mad Dog's hatred for me, I did not
2:10:06understand that either. He and I had
2:10:08both joined this team half a year ago.
2:10:10At that time, the team had only had more
2:10:12than 100 people. In less than half a
2:10:14year, among the same batch, except for a
2:10:16few superhumans, the only ones still
2:10:18alive were Mad Dog and me. I had seen
2:10:21Mad Dog kneel down and lick other exam
2:10:23slave shoe saws for a bite of food. I
2:10:25did not laugh at him. I had seen Mad
2:10:27Dog, when he had no water, excitedly go
2:10:29drink someone else's urine, tasting it
2:10:31as if it were sweet nectar. I did not
2:10:33laugh at him. I had seen Mad Dog offer
2:10:35his ass to a bald, burly man so as not
2:10:38to be bullied by other exam slaves. I
2:10:40did not laugh at him either. I had seen
2:10:42Mad Dog roll back and forth on the
2:10:44ground like a dog to please a dead
2:10:45superhuman. I did not laugh at him. I
2:10:48had even seen the day when Mad Dog had
2:10:50unbelievable luck in a death exam. He
2:10:52awakened a sequence and became a
2:10:54superhuman. He came up to me and asked
2:10:56what I thought now. I sincerely said, "A
2:10:58humble birth is not a disgrace. One who
2:11:01can bend and stretch is a true man." I
2:11:03sincerely congratulated him on becoming
2:11:05a superhum. And in return, Mad Dog
2:11:08targeted me crazily. He even went so far
2:11:10as to forcibly send me into that death
2:11:13exam that seemed certain to kill me,
2:11:15wanting me dead, completely
2:11:16inexplicable. That was what I said. I
2:11:18did not want to understand what people
2:11:20like Wong Chong and Mad Dog were
2:11:21thinking either. Once killing intent
2:11:23arises, just kill. My attention returned
2:11:26to the simulation content. The five of
2:11:28them were already eager to try and show
2:11:30off their skills. The demon butler
2:11:32snapped his fingers and the six of us
2:11:34appeared in a gloomy, eerie kitchen like
2:11:36that of a medieval western castle. On
2:11:38the kitchen table were all kinds of
2:11:40ingredients we had never seen or heard
2:11:42of. An octopus covered in tentacles. A
2:11:44piece of meat emitting demonic chi and
2:11:46still writhing. A black scorpion with
2:11:49eyes all over its belly. Dark centipedes
2:11:51madly biting each other in a jar. A
2:11:53pumpkin with a ghost face smiling at us.
2:11:55Strange flowers with huge mouths. All
2:11:58sorts of animals, plants, vegetables,
2:12:00fruits we had never seen or heard of,
2:12:02but not one of them was normal. I calmly
2:12:05scanned everything in the kitchen, but
2:12:06my five companions were so frightened.
2:12:09Their faces turned pale and their legs
2:12:11began trembling uncontrollably. The
2:12:13demon butler still maintained his
2:12:14elegant and proper demeanor, but looking
2:12:17at my five companions. The contempt in
2:12:19his eyes deepened a little, he said
2:12:21lightly. You may use any ingredients in
2:12:23the kitchen to cook. As long as you
2:12:25successfully please Lord Viscount's
2:12:26demon hound, you will get everything you
2:12:28want. At this point, the demon butler
2:12:31changed his tone and demonicqi pressed
2:12:33toward the six of us. He said in a deep
2:12:36cold voice, "But if the food you cook
2:12:38cannot please the demon hound or even
2:12:40makes the demon hound disdain it, then
2:12:42Lord Viscount will take your souls as
2:12:44punishment, your bodies will be fed to
2:12:46the demon hound as an extra meal." Wong
2:12:49Chong and the others trembled inwardly.
2:12:51They had already begun to regret
2:12:53choosing option C. Looking at these
2:12:55ingredients, I thought that if I died, I
2:12:57could just start over. So, I began to
2:12:59improvise, throwing all kinds of
2:13:01ingredients into the pot and making a
2:13:03chaotic stew. The demon butler looked at
2:13:05me confident and composed, then glanced
2:13:08at the unknown thick soup in the big
2:13:10pot. It was black, green, rolling with
2:13:13all colors, emitting an aura of terror.
2:13:15For a moment, he could not tell whether
2:13:17I was messing around or cooking
2:13:19seriously. Even after living in the
2:13:21demon world for many years, he had never
2:13:23seen such dark cuisine. He glanced at me
2:13:25again, confident and composed, and could
2:13:28not help muttering inwardly. Could it be
2:13:30that the demon hound likes this? Wong
2:13:32Chong and the others were also
2:13:33intimidated by my series of operations.
2:13:36Lyno, is this really okay? Trust me,
2:13:38it's guaranteed to pass. I said to them,
2:13:41"Seriously." The others thought that I
2:13:42would never risk my own life. Now,
2:13:44seeing these ingredients, their
2:13:46confidence had vanished. At this moment,
2:13:48seeing how certain I was, they felt
2:13:50greatly reassured. Brother Lynn, if I
2:13:53can survive this death exam, you will be
2:13:55my brother forever. I will definitely
2:13:57repay you well. Apart from Wong Chong,
2:13:59the four teammates cast grateful looks
2:14:01at me. I waved my hand, indicating there
2:14:03was no need to say more. Then they
2:14:05busily followed my cooking method,
2:14:07throwing all kinds of ingredients into
2:14:09the pot. Hundred clawed octopus,
2:14:11thousanded centipede held desert black
2:14:14scorpion, man-eating big mouth flour,
2:14:16ghost-faced pumpkin, and so on. They
2:14:18threw all of them into the pot, stewing
2:14:20over high heat, melting into one.
2:14:23Although Wong Chong was unwilling, he
2:14:25felt that if he wanted to live, he
2:14:26probably still had to follow my method.
2:14:28So, he thickened his skin and imitated
2:14:30it, too. Watching the five teammates
2:14:32cook earnestly. I nodded with
2:14:34satisfaction. Then, I carried the
2:14:36already stewed dark cuisine and followed
2:14:38the butler to present it to the demon
2:14:39hound. Wong Chong watched my departing
2:14:42back coldly and sneered. Stupid. You
2:14:44teach others the method you thought of
2:14:46to pass and think they will be grateful
2:14:48to you. Rome, we will only laugh at you
2:14:50for being a fool. He and the other four
2:14:52examinees who had just been weeping with
2:14:54gratitude toward me exchanged a glance,
2:14:57then laughed out loud together. Watching
2:14:59the simulation text pop up, I laughed
2:15:01too. The simulation continued. I carried
2:15:04that pot of dark cuisine into the main
2:15:06hall. I saw Viscount Edington sitting
2:15:08high on a skull throne and a ferocious
2:15:10looking enormous hound lying listlessly
2:15:13at his feet. What surprised me was that
2:15:15I had thought demons were all ugly. But
2:15:17Viscount Edington had horns on his head.
2:15:19He had a handsome, fair face, wore
2:15:21magnificent clothes, and had a slender
2:15:23figure. He looked at me with interest.
2:15:26Human, what delicacy have you cooked?
2:15:28Following the etiquette the demon butler
2:15:30had taught me, I respectfully placed my
2:15:32right hand over my chest. I bowed 45°
2:15:35and said, "Honorable viscount, what I
2:15:38have cooked for your beloved hound is a
2:15:39dish called demon jumping over the wall.
2:15:42Demon jumping over the wall. Interest
2:15:44grew in Viscount Edington's eyes. I
2:15:46explained, "It means an ultimate
2:15:48delicacy so delicious that even demons
2:15:51cannot stop themselves from jumping over
2:15:53the wall to steal a bite. Bring it here
2:15:55quickly." Hearing this, Viscount
2:15:57Edington grew even more curious. The
2:15:59demon butler muttered inwardly. "Could
2:16:01that pot of stuff really be so delicious
2:16:04that even demons cannot resist jumping
2:16:06over the wall? He was a demon, too. Why
2:16:08hadn't he felt that?" But looking at the
2:16:10confidence and composure on my face, he
2:16:12still respectfully carried that pot of
2:16:14demon jumping over the wall up. Viscount
2:16:16Edington leaned over and slowly lifted
2:16:18the lid. A huge ferocious skull formed
2:16:21from black. Chi rushed out of the pot.
2:16:23Viscount Edington's handsome face
2:16:25twitched violently. This is demon
2:16:28jumping over the wall. I answered
2:16:30respectfully, "Yes, Viscount. Don't
2:16:32judge it by its appearance. One bite. I
2:16:35guarantee you will fall in love with
2:16:36it." After hesitating for a long time,
2:16:39this Count Edington still put down the
2:16:40spoon and smiled. I invited you here
2:16:43today specifically to cook for my
2:16:44beloved hound. It's better to let my
2:16:46beloved hound enjoy it first. The butler
2:16:49placed that dish, emitting an aura of
2:16:51terror, in front of the demon hound. The
2:16:54demon hound instantly bristled, but
2:16:56under Viscount Edington's sharp gaze, it
2:16:58still reluctantly stuck out its tongue
2:17:00and licked it once. Then it began
2:17:02frantically spitting. P. Miss Count
2:17:04Edington smiled and his smile was
2:17:06somewhat terrifying. The air in the
2:17:08entire hall suddenly grew heavy. I felt
2:17:10a mountain press down on me. I wanted to
2:17:13move but could not. I was shocked. This
2:17:15kind of terrifying pressure was only
2:17:17from a so-called lower demon. Human, you
2:17:19will pay the price for mocking a noble
2:17:21demon. Viscount. Viscount Edington
2:17:23coldly reached out and grasped at the
2:17:25air toward me. I felt myself float out.
2:17:28I saw my own body collapse to the ground
2:17:30as if it had lost its bones. My soul was
2:17:32devoured by Viscount Edington and
2:17:34condensed into soul currency circulating
2:17:36in hell. My corpse was enjoyed as a
2:17:38snack by the demon hound. After I died,
2:17:41my five teammates, including Wong Chong,
2:17:43confidently carried the exact same demon
2:17:46jumping over the wall. They presented it
2:17:48to Viscount Edington's beloved hound.
2:17:50When he saw the identical dark cuisine,
2:17:52Viscount Edington laughed in anger.
2:17:54Under the terrified gazes of Wong Chong
2:17:57and others, the enraged Viscount
2:17:59Edington pulled out their souls. He
2:18:01threw them into soul purgatory, tortured
2:18:03them ruthlessly for 5 years before
2:18:05refining them into soul currency. Their
2:18:07corpses were made into aftermeal dessert
2:18:09for the demon hound. Simulation ended.
2:18:12Score zero. Evaluation. I successfully
2:18:15got myself killed and also viciously
2:18:17screwed five teammates to death. How
2:18:20could I be so bad? Watching this round
2:18:22of simulation, I smiled faintly, but I
2:18:24gained a deeper understanding of demonic
2:18:26means. Even a so-called lower demon was
2:18:29absolutely not something ordinary
2:18:31superhumans could provoke. Just pulling
2:18:33a person's soul out through the air and
2:18:35refining it into currency or casting it
2:18:37into purgatory was already horrifying.
2:18:39This information was extremely valuable
2:18:41because after the apocalypse means
2:18:43related to mythological creatures like
2:18:45angels and demons were rarely
2:18:47circulated. Continue simulation. I
2:18:50already had a direction to clear it.
2:18:51Simulation begins once again. I arrived
2:18:54at the demon castle with Wong Chong and
2:18:56the other five. Looking at the dazzling
2:18:58array of dark ingredients in the
2:19:00kitchen, everyone was dumbfounded. But I
2:19:02had already found the direction to
2:19:04successfully please the demon hound.
2:19:06Through the first round of simulation, I
2:19:08discovered that although the anorexic
2:19:10demon hound was uninterested in our dark
2:19:12cuisine, after Viscount Edington
2:19:14extracted our souls and made them into
2:19:16currency, our corpses all became snacks
2:19:18for the demon hound. It could be seen
2:19:20that even in an anorexic state, it still
2:19:23exceptionally loved humans. When the
2:19:25butler introduced the names and
2:19:27properties of the various ingredients in
2:19:28the kitchen, my gaze fell on Wong Chong.
2:19:31After the first death exam ended, I
2:19:33still had not forgotten his vicious
2:19:34gaze. I was very clear that a poisonous
2:19:37snake like this had to be dealt with as
2:19:39soon as possible. Otherwise, if I let
2:19:41him hide in the dark and wait until I
2:19:43fell into hardship, then he comes out to
2:19:45bite me, I would regret it too late.
2:19:47Wong Chong since my burning gaze.
2:19:49Looking at my frighteningly calm face,
2:19:51he instinctively stepped back. He said
2:19:53with bluster, "Lyno, why are you staring
2:19:56at me like that?" The butler, who was
2:19:58introducing ingredients, frowned because
2:20:00of Wong Chong<unk>s interruption. He
2:20:02looked at me, clearly displeased. "Mr.
2:20:04Lyno, why are you distracted while I
2:20:06explain ingredients? The cooking that
2:20:08follows concerns your life." The other
2:20:10four examinees also looked over, curious
2:20:13about what had happened. I smiled an
2:20:15awkward stiff smile of apology at the
2:20:17butler. Sorry, Mr. Butler. I do not
2:20:19intend to use the ingredients you
2:20:21introduced to cook for Viscount
2:20:22Edington's beloved hound. What? Not to
2:20:25mention the demon butler. Even Wong
2:20:27Chong and the others were shocked. But
2:20:29soon, thinking of the way I had looked
2:20:31at him, Wong Chong<unk>s expression
2:20:32changed. I calmly looked at Wong Chong.
2:20:35Mr. Butler, may I use Mr. Wong Chong as
2:20:37an ingredient? The air in the kitchen
2:20:40fell into dead silence. The demon butler
2:20:42was startled by my astonishing words,
2:20:44but soon amusement and appreciation
2:20:47appeared in his eyes. For the first
2:20:49time, the demon butler revealed a smile
2:20:51that did not fit his usual gentlemanly
2:20:53manner. It was hideous and frightening.
2:20:55He looked at me and gave a slight bow.
2:20:58Mr. Linmo, you truly exceed my
2:21:00expectations. I must admit, this is
2:21:02simply a genius idea. As soon as the
2:21:04demon butler said this, the faces of
2:21:07Wong Chong and the other four examinees
2:21:09changed instantly. They all knew I had
2:21:11triple physical enhancement. Even if
2:21:13they all attacked together, they would
2:21:15not be my match. Wong Chong hurriedly
2:21:17said, "Mr. Butler, we are all here to
2:21:20cook delicacies and please the demon
2:21:22hound. You cannot allow him to act
2:21:23recklessly." The butler glanced at him
2:21:25lightly. Mr. Wong Chong, I must remind
2:21:28you of one thing. Humans in hell are top
2:21:30grade ingredients. Whether soul or
2:21:32flesh, they are in high demand.
2:21:34Otherwise, why do you think demons are
2:21:36obsessed with tempting the world with
2:21:38sacrifices or deals? Upon hearing this,
2:21:41Wong Chong and the others immediately
2:21:43turned pale. They really had not thought
2:21:45in that direction. They had only thought
2:21:46that using the hell kitchen ingredients
2:21:48to cook and please the demon hound would
2:21:50be enough. They had never expected that
2:21:52they themselves were the most precious
2:21:54ingredients in this kitchen. With a
2:21:56trace of disdain in his eyes, the butler
2:21:58glanced at Wong Chong and the others,
2:22:00then returned to me. Mr. Lyno, as long
2:22:02as it is in this kitchen, everything is
2:22:04an ingredient, including you and me.
2:22:07Whether it can be used depends on your
2:22:08own methods. After receiving the demon
2:22:10butler's clear permission, I looked at
2:22:12Wong Chong with a very kind gaze. Wong
2:22:15Chong retreated in terror, pulled a
2:22:17short knife from his waist, and glared
2:22:19at me with bluster. Lyn Mo, when did I
2:22:21ever provoke you? You actually want to
2:22:23take me to feed the demon hound. I did
2:22:25not speak, only slowly walked toward him
2:22:27step by step. Wong Chong retreated in
2:22:30terror, seeing that I really wanted to
2:22:31take him to feed the demon hound. He
2:22:34shouted to the other four, "Are you just
2:22:35going to watch? Do you know how much the
2:22:37demon hound eats? If I am not enough,
2:22:39guess if Lynmo will go after you next?
2:22:42And think about it. We are all ordinary
2:22:44exam slaves, long affected by hunger and
2:22:46disease. None of us is healthy. But Lyn
2:22:49Mo, he received an angel's blessing. His
2:22:51body is three times that of an ordinary
2:22:53healthy adult. And look at him. His skin
2:22:55is as white as mutton fat jade without a
2:22:58single flaw. If we can take him down and
2:23:00use him to please the demon hound, the
2:23:02success rate will definitely rise
2:23:04greatly. The other four looked at each
2:23:06other. They did not want to be my enemy,
2:23:08but felt Wong Chong<unk>s words made
2:23:09some sense. They feared after I dealt
2:23:11with Wong Chong, I would not spare them,
2:23:14and that taking me down would raise the
2:23:16success rate. Watching Wong Chong and me
2:23:18at daggers drawn," the butler grinned.
2:23:20"Mr. Wong Chong is right. A human of Mr.
2:23:23Lmo<unk>'s quality is a high-grade
2:23:24commodity in hell, second only to your
2:23:27superhumans. His soul is loved by
2:23:29demons, and his flesh and blood are rare
2:23:32delicacies." Facing the demon butler's
2:23:34explanation, I remained calm. Hearing
2:23:36the demon butler's words, the four
2:23:38wavering men now looked at me with more
2:23:41determination and greed, watching them
2:23:43pick up weapons, and slowly surround me
2:23:45from different angles. Wong Chong
2:23:47laughed loudly, pointed his knife at me,
2:23:49and said, "Linmo, just surrender. Next,
2:23:52we will take your corpse to please the
2:23:54demon hound, then make a wish to awaken
2:23:56a sequence and become superhumans." A
2:23:59smile appeared on my face. Fair enough.
2:24:01I spat out three words. Wong Chong and
2:24:04the other four exchanged glances. Two
2:24:06fists are no match for four hands. Even
2:24:08if he has three times our physical
2:24:10qualities, as long as we rush him
2:24:12together, one stab each. Even if he has
2:24:14incredible abilities, he will die. I
2:24:17will count to three. Everyone attack
2:24:19together. Wong Chong said coldly. The
2:24:21other four nodded. As Wong Chong
2:24:23finished counting down from three and
2:24:25shouted, attack together. However,
2:24:27including him, not a single person
2:24:29rushed at me. Wong Chong and the other
2:24:31four looked at each other, and for a
2:24:33moment, the atmosphere was very awkward.
2:24:35Wong Chong gritted his teeth. "Why
2:24:37aren't you charging?" One of the four
2:24:39sneered, "You didn't charge either."
2:24:41Obviously, they feared me. No one wanted
2:24:43to be the first to charge and bear my
2:24:44wrath. They all waited for each other to
2:24:46take the first wave of attacks so they
2:24:48could find a chance to stab me from
2:24:50behind. I had long expected this
2:24:52outcome. If I did not move, how would
2:24:54they dare to move? Wong Chong<unk>s hand
2:24:56holding the knife trembled a little, but
2:24:58he knew that if he did not take the
2:24:59lead, the other four would absolutely
2:25:01not move because my main target was him.
2:25:03As long as I attacked him first, they
2:25:05would have plenty of time to act
2:25:07afterward. Wong Chong roared with
2:25:09bloodshot eyes. Lyn Mo, then let's see
2:25:11who can survive today. After saying
2:25:13that, he charged at me with the knife,
2:25:15targeting my neck, but his movements
2:25:17were too slow in my eyes. I sidestepped
2:25:20and slammed him heavily to the ground.
2:25:22The dagger flashed like cold light and
2:25:24cut his throat with one stroke. Seeing
2:25:26the battle end so cleanly and
2:25:28decisively, the other four charging
2:25:30examinees froze halfway. They stared at
2:25:32each other, not knowing whether to
2:25:34advance or retreat. I glanced at them
2:25:36lightly. I think Wong Chong should be
2:25:38enough. Do you want to give me an extra
2:25:40portion? The four felt the chill in
2:25:41their hearts, quickly shook their heads,
2:25:43and stepped back. The combat power I
2:25:46displayed by killing Wong Chong cleanly
2:25:48made them certain even five of them
2:25:50swarming me would only be wasted effort.
2:25:52Triple physical enhancement could reach
2:25:54this level. They were full of
2:25:56unwillingness. Applause sounded in the
2:25:58kitchen. The demon butler looked at me
2:26:00with eyes full of amazement and praise.
2:26:02Mr. Lynmo, your throat cutting just now
2:26:05was simply art. But there is also a
2:26:07small flaw. I looked at Wong Chong on
2:26:09the ground, desperately clutching his
2:26:10neck and staring at me in disbelief. I
2:26:13patted his shoulder and said softly,
2:26:15"Breathe deeply. Dizziness is normal." I
2:26:18wiped the dagger and stood up, looking
2:26:19at the demon butler. "May I ask, Mr.
2:26:22Butler, where is the fly you mentioned?"
2:26:24The demon butler smiled. "You are too
2:26:26merciful." "Merciful? I felt a little
2:26:28puzzled." The demon butler looked at
2:26:30Wong Chong on the ground and grinned.
2:26:32For us demons, killing prey is far from
2:26:35enough. Only letting prey die slowly in
2:26:37extreme pain and resentment is true
2:26:40perfect hunting. Prey that has not been
2:26:42tortured loses much of its flavor. I
2:26:44smiled faintly and said, "I am not a
2:26:46demon." "Of course," the demon butler
2:26:48grinned. "You are not even a bad person.
2:26:51Otherwise, how could you have received
2:26:53an angel's blessing? I surmise that you
2:26:55and this Wong Chong must share some kind
2:26:57of hatred. Killing him today was merely
2:26:59convenient." I smiled and said nothing.
2:27:01"May I now go offer this delicacy to
2:27:03Viscount Edington's beloved hound.
2:27:05Aren't you going to cook it?" Mr. Butler
2:27:07wore a smile. I shook my head. I'm not
2:27:10good at cooking people. I see. The demon
2:27:12butler seemed a little regretful.
2:27:14However, I believe this delicacy of
2:27:16yours should quite suit the demon hounds
2:27:18taste. After all, when hunting normally,
2:27:20most of what the viscount feeds it is
2:27:22raw meat. Normally, it would hardly get
2:27:24to enjoy such a toprade delicacy since
2:27:27creatures from hell cannot casually go
2:27:29to the human world. The demon butler
2:27:31seemed to appreciate me quite a bit and
2:27:33said many things he should not have.
2:27:35Pushing the already dead Wong Chong on a
2:27:37cart, I followed behind the butler. I
2:27:40asked curiously, "Mr. Butler, can you
2:27:42tell that I have been blessed by an
2:27:44angel?" The demon butler smiled
2:27:45elegantly. "Naturally, the hypocritical
2:27:48stench of angels. No demon could fail to
2:27:51smell it." I pondered for a moment.
2:27:53Then, logically, you should eliminate
2:27:55me. The butler laughed. You must have
2:27:57been influenced by those myths and
2:27:58legends in the human world. Although
2:28:00angels and demons are irreconcilable
2:28:02enemies, that was a long, long time ago.
2:28:05Now we have a common enemy to deal with,
2:28:07and relations have eased as never
2:28:09before. Oh, my pupils constricted
2:28:12slightly. What kind of enemy? Mr. Butler
2:28:14smiled. Those things that have descended
2:28:16into the human world. My pupil shrank
2:28:19sharply, and I wanted to keep asking,
2:28:21but the butler smiled and said, "Mr.
2:28:23Lynmo, if you ask any further, you will
2:28:26have to pay the corresponding price." I
2:28:28shut up in time. Any price paid in a
2:28:30deal with a demon would never be low.
2:28:32Arriving at the main hall of the demon
2:28:34castle after the demon butler reported,
2:28:36I was summoned by Viscount Edington
2:28:38again. He was still a handsome noble
2:28:40with horns sitting on the skull throne
2:28:42with the demon hound lying at his feet.
2:28:44At first, he had no hope we could offer
2:28:47any delicacy and prepared to directly
2:28:49refine my soul into soul currency.
2:28:52Unexpectedly, I gave him a surprise.
2:28:54Looking at the corpse on the card,
2:28:56Viscount Edington slowly clapped in
2:28:58delight. human. How did you know my
2:29:00beloved hounds favorite food is humans?
2:29:02I bowed elegantly. I guessed it from
2:29:04distorted human world rumors about live
2:29:06sacrifices summoning demons. You are
2:29:09clever. This countdington nodded. But in
2:29:11the end, it depends on whether my hound
2:29:13likes it. In that case, I looked at the
2:29:15butler. The butler's slightly crooked a
2:29:18finger, and Wong Chong<unk>s corpse
2:29:19floated up and was sent to the demon
2:29:21hound. The once listless demon hound
2:29:23burst with light in its eyes, licked its
2:29:26lips greedily, and swallowed the corpse
2:29:28in one bite. Then it returned to its
2:29:30earlier state, lying listlessly at
2:29:32Viscount Edington's feet. Seeing the
2:29:34demon hounds reaction, I raised my head
2:29:3745°, sighed, and uttered two words,
2:29:40"It's over. Extract my soul, and refine
2:29:43it into soul currency." This Count
2:29:45Edington was stunned. He never expected
2:29:47me to accept the result so calmly or
2:29:49even know how he would deal with me
2:29:51next. All the lines he rehearsed
2:29:52countless times in his heart were stuck
2:29:54in his mouth. He did not know how to
2:29:56speak. In the end, he only managed to
2:29:58dry. You are the calmst and most
2:30:00composed person I have ever met. I can
2:30:03hear your heartbeat. I can smell your
2:30:05soul's scent. You show no fear. I am
2:30:07curious. Why are you not afraid? I said
2:30:09lightly. Because I'm not afraid. The
2:30:12hall was silent for a moment. Then
2:30:13Viscount Edington laughed heartily. What
2:30:16a not afraid. The next moment, his
2:30:18expression turned hideous. I hate you
2:30:20irreverent mortals the most. Go enjoy a
2:30:22few years in purgatory first. I want to
2:30:25see if you can still be as tough as you
2:30:26are now. I died, thrown into purgatory,
2:30:29and tortured for 10 years. I indicated
2:30:31that I had learned my lesson. Of my
2:30:33remaining four teammates, the two
2:30:35survivors brought their corpses before
2:30:37Viscount Edington. Unfortunately, they
2:30:39two had failed to please the demon
2:30:41hound. Simulation ended. Score 59.
2:30:44evaluation. I successfully eliminated
2:30:46Wong Chong, who had been hiding in the
2:30:48dark. Unfortunately, I ultimately failed
2:30:51to please the demon hound. In the end,
2:30:54my soul was refined into soul currency.
2:30:56My body was eaten by the pleased demon
2:30:58hound. I looked at this simulation
2:31:00result and pondered slightly. Even
2:31:02ordinary examinees were not enough to
2:31:04please it. Did I have to remove some
2:31:06highquality parts from my own body? But
2:31:08I immediately rejected this idea. If I
2:31:10had to cut off my own arms and legs,
2:31:12what meaning would full marks in this
2:31:14simulation even have? That was not how
2:31:16the simulator was meant to be used.
2:31:17Using the smallest cost or no cost at
2:31:20all to gain the greatest benefit in the
2:31:22death exam. That was the meaning of the
2:31:24death exam simulators existence. I
2:31:26thought for a moment, then started a new
2:31:28round of simulation. Simulation started.
2:31:31I once again stood in the demon kitchen.
2:31:33Listening to Mr. Butler's introduction,
2:31:35I politely asked him, "Where is the
2:31:37toilet in the demon castle? I want to
2:31:39relieve myself. Wong Chong and the
2:31:41others thought I was planning to escape
2:31:43using the toilet as an excuse. The awe
2:31:45they originally had for me in their eyes
2:31:47diminished somewhat. Mr. Butler was also
2:31:49somewhat angry. What he hated most was
2:31:51being interrupted mid explanation. He
2:31:53smiled at me and said, "Mr. Lynmo, if
2:31:56you are thinking of escaping, you had
2:31:58best dismissed that idea because you
2:32:00cannot leave Lord Viscounts Demon
2:32:02Castle. After all, this is the
2:32:04examination hall for the death exam
2:32:06game." I was not surprised. The death
2:32:08exam game is everywhere. The so-called
2:32:10examinees participating in the death
2:32:12exam were by no means only humans. I
2:32:15said respectfully, "Mr. Butler, I am not
2:32:18foolish enough for that." Mr. Butler
2:32:20nodded and snapped his fingers. A winged
2:32:22black big eye appeared and took me to
2:32:24the toilet. The big eye circled me a few
2:32:26times, then floated in a direction,
2:32:28signaling me to follow. After glancing
2:32:30around the kitchen, I went and took a
2:32:32pure white dinner plate. The demon
2:32:34butler looked puzzled and Wong Chong and
2:32:36the others were also full of confusion.
2:32:38Going to the toilet is going to the
2:32:40toilet. Why bring a dinner plate? Could
2:32:42it be that he wants to sneak a bite in
2:32:43the toilet? At this thought, the demon
2:32:45butler shuddered with revulsion. Humans
2:32:48really are perverts. They even want to
2:32:50sneak a taste of demon feces. When I
2:32:52returned, seeing the steaming mass of
2:32:54mosaic in my hands, Wong Chong and the
2:32:57other four examinees all backed away,
2:32:59covering their noses and mouths, looking
2:33:01at me like I was a ghost. all thinking I
2:33:03had gone mad. I silently thanked the
2:33:05first round of the death exam in my
2:33:07heart. If I hadn't obtained those five
2:33:09high-quality beef cans and enjoyed a
2:33:11hearty meal, the delicacy I was about to
2:33:13offer to the demon hound today would
2:33:15probably have been in a much worse
2:33:17state. Its quantity and quality would
2:33:19definitely not be as good as they are
2:33:20now. The demon butler also took out a
2:33:23snow white handkerchief to cover his
2:33:24nose and mouth, the corner of his eye
2:33:26twitching. Mr. Lyno, what is this? I
2:33:29said calmly. This is the delicacy I have
2:33:32prepared for Viscount Edington's beloved
2:33:34hound. As soon as I said that, it was
2:33:36like a thunderbolt. Not to mention Wong
2:33:38Chong and the others. Even the
2:33:40well-informed demon butler now looked at
2:33:42me with astonishment. Human imagination,
2:33:45action, and courage were truly
2:33:47astonishing. When the demon butler
2:33:49looked at me, there was no longer the
2:33:50slightest contempt. Toward a human like
2:33:53me who dared to break conventions and be
2:33:55a maverick, even demons would feel
2:33:57admiration. Mr. Linmo, are you sure you
2:34:00want to offer this delicacy of yours to
2:34:02Viscount Edington's beloved hound? I
2:34:04nodded. I'm sure watching me leave with
2:34:07the demon butler, Wong Chong, and the
2:34:09others looked at each other. Brother
2:34:10Wong, do you think Lin Mo<unk>s method
2:34:12will work? A candidate lowered his voice
2:34:14and looked at Wong Chong. Wong
2:34:16Chong<unk>s expression was uncertain. He
2:34:18could not be sure either. Another
2:34:20candidate said, "There's a saying, a dog
2:34:22can't change its habit of eating A
2:34:24demon hound is still a dog in the end.
2:34:26Maybe it really will work. Should we try
2:34:28it? Are you crazy? What if it fails? Do
2:34:31you have a better idea? Look at these
2:34:33ingredients. Who knows how to use them?
2:34:35If we casually make something and feed
2:34:37it to that anorexic demon hound, can it
2:34:39really be pleased? After a silence, Wong
2:34:42Chong said, "Let's see what happens
2:34:44first. If he succeeds, we'll follow
2:34:46along." But unfortunately, the demon
2:34:48butler would not tell them the final
2:34:50result. I followed the demon butler and
2:34:52once again came to the castle's main
2:34:54hall. Seeing me holding the tray, the
2:34:56polished clo cover covering the food, my
2:34:58movements elegant, and my face quite
2:35:00handsome, this Count Edington felt a bit
2:35:02more anticipation. Human, what delicacy
2:35:05have you made for my beloved hound? I
2:35:07smiled mysteriously. Secret
2:35:09reincarnation beef. Secret reincarnation
2:35:11beef. This Count Edington's eyes lit up.
2:35:14The name sounds high-end. Bring it up
2:35:16and let me see. The demon butler's eye
2:35:18twitched slightly, but since his master
2:35:20had spoken, he naturally had no reason
2:35:22to refuse. He took the polished tray
2:35:24from my hands with some disgust. This
2:35:27Count Edington looked at the old butler
2:35:28whose brows had been tightly furrowed
2:35:30the entire time and frowned slightly. He
2:35:33felt the butler was a little off today,
2:35:35but he did not think much of it. Even
2:35:37demons have days when their emotions
2:35:38fluctuate. "Open it," Viscount Edington
2:35:41ordered. The butler's hand paused, but
2:35:43he still obeyed and slowly lifted the
2:35:45polished cloch. A wave of hot steam
2:35:47rushed into Viscount Edington's
2:35:49nostrils. Looking at the unidentified
2:35:51mass on the white tray, he was stunned
2:35:53for a long time, then flew into a rage.
2:35:56Human, you dare mock me? I said
2:35:58unhurriedly. Respected Viscount
2:36:00Edington, please calm down. This is
2:36:02prepared for your beloved hound. I mean
2:36:04no insult to you whatsoever. Viscount
2:36:06Edington laughed in anger. Using such
2:36:09filth to feed my dog, and you still say
2:36:11you are not insulting me. No elegant
2:36:13demon noble would feed his pet such
2:36:15filth. If word got out, I would become
2:36:17the laughingstock of all hell. This
2:36:19Count Edington wished he could
2:36:20immediately extract my soul and throw me
2:36:23into purgatory to torture me for
2:36:25hundreds or thousands of years. Seeing
2:36:27him so furious yet still not directly
2:36:30attacking me, I felt that a certain
2:36:32conjecture in my heart had been
2:36:33confirmed. Even a demon as powerful as
2:36:36Viscount Edington, bound by the rules of
2:36:38the death exam, could not bypass the
2:36:40test content and directly kill me.
2:36:42Watching my simulated self, I thought to
2:36:44myself, as expected, every previous time
2:36:47Viscount Edington made his move, it was
2:36:49only after the candidate offered the
2:36:51delicacy and the demon hound tasted it.
2:36:53The death exam game, "Huh," I murmured
2:36:56in my heart. The simulation continued
2:36:58after hearing my words. Though Viscount
2:37:00Edington still wished he could destroy
2:37:02me immediately, he held back his anger
2:37:04and shouted, "Let the demon hound eat."
2:37:07He believed that after his beloved hound
2:37:08saw such filth, it would certainly
2:37:10become as furious as he was. However, to
2:37:13everyone's surprise, when the demon
2:37:15hound saw that lump on the tray, it
2:37:17showed no disgust. Instead, it stood up,
2:37:20wagged its tail madly, lulled its
2:37:22tongue, and its eyes were full of
2:37:24desire. Viscount Edington looked at his
2:37:26beloved pet, whose saliva was almost
2:37:28dripping, and stood up abruptly, his
2:37:31eyes full of disbelief. Under his nearly
2:37:33petrified gaze, the demon hound had
2:37:36already begun to devour it. It finished
2:37:38the still warm lump in a few bites and
2:37:40licked the snow white tray so shiny it
2:37:42hardly needed washing. Just when I
2:37:44thought this time should be safe, I
2:37:46noticed that Viscount Edington, who had
2:37:48been frozen stiff, suddenly showed joy
2:37:50on his stiff face, and then stared
2:37:51fixately at me. I felt something was
2:37:53very wrong. Viscount Edington sneered.
2:37:56human. You didn't think that offering
2:37:58such filth to the beloved hound of a
2:38:00noble demon aristocrat would satisfy it,
2:38:02did you? Something so full of the flavor
2:38:04of the human world is not enough to
2:38:06please a purebred demon hound. I was
2:38:09silent for a moment, then said, "But
2:38:11Lord Viscount, didn't your beloved hound
2:38:13finish all the food?" And it looked like
2:38:15it was enjoying it. As I spoke, I looked
2:38:18at the demon hound, which had once again
2:38:20returned to an uninterested expression,
2:38:22and frowned. I somewhat suspected that
2:38:24this real dog and the fake dog on the
2:38:26throne were putting on a show for me.
2:38:28Viscount Edington sneered. I'll let you
2:38:30die with understanding. Something of
2:38:32only this level is not enough to please
2:38:34my beloved hound. But you don't need to
2:38:36know more because you are about to die.
2:38:38Viscount Edington made a grasping motion
2:38:40toward me in the air and my soul flew
2:38:42toward him. After torturing me for a
2:38:44hundred years, my soul was refined into
2:38:47soul currency. My body was swallowed by
2:38:49the demon hound, which tasted a flavor
2:38:51similar to the earlier delicacy, and its
2:38:54face was full of lingering satisfaction.
2:38:56Simulation ended. Score 59. Evaluation.
2:39:00You took another step on the road to
2:39:02successfully passing the death exam, but
2:39:04almost is still almost. Still, you did
2:39:07humiliate Viscount Edington badly. Your
2:39:09death was not unjust. Looking at the
2:39:11result of this simulation, I pondered
2:39:13for a full 10 seconds. I glanced at the
2:39:16countdown on the huge exam paper in
2:39:18front of me with less than 5 minutes
2:39:19left. By now, some people had already
2:39:22made their choices. I choose option B. A
2:39:24burly bald man slapped the table and
2:39:26said loudly. After someone made a
2:39:28choice, several others immediately
2:39:30followed and submitted their answers. I
2:39:32also choose B. I also choose B. But the
2:39:35vast majority still did not move,
2:39:38including Shadow Bamboo, the only
2:39:40transcendent participating in this death
2:39:42exam. What do you think? This mysterious
2:39:44transcendent girl, always dressed in a
2:39:47tightly wrapped black robe, suddenly
2:39:49spoke. It took me a moment to realize
2:39:51she was asking me. I was silent for a
2:39:53moment, then said, "Option A has too
2:39:55much uncertainty. If one encounters a
2:39:57powerful anomaly, and one sequence has
2:40:00no targeted advantage, no item to
2:40:02counter it, and one is trapped in the
2:40:04same room, even a transcendent would
2:40:06likely fall. As for option B, if you're
2:40:08good at fighting, you can try it, but
2:40:10the adult goblin in the question is
2:40:12ambiguous. It could be an ordinary adult
2:40:14goblin or a higher level adult goblin. C
2:40:17involves demons. So the risk is
2:40:19extremely high. But risk also means
2:40:21opportunity. If one could gain power
2:40:23from a demon, even at a tremendous
2:40:25price, it might be worth it. If one is
2:40:27especially familiar with dogs and very
2:40:30confident, one could try it. Overall,
2:40:32the three options each have advantages
2:40:34and disadvantages. It still depends on
2:40:36which option suits you best. Shadow
2:40:38Bamboo nodded. You're right. After a
2:40:40pause, she added, "That's what I think,
2:40:42too." Then she submitted her choice. "Be
2:40:45I had a strange feeling. You're choosing
2:40:47B2." Under her black robe, Shadow
2:40:49Bamboo's indistinct eyes looked at me. I
2:40:52shook my head. I need to think more. If
2:40:54this adult goblin isn't low-level, I
2:40:56might be instantly killed if I go in.
2:40:59Shadow Bamboo nodded and began to rest
2:41:01with her eyes closed. Seeing that there
2:41:03were still 3 and 1/2 minutes left on the
2:41:05exam paper, I immediately continued
2:41:07simulating. The surrounding candidates
2:41:09sneered inwardly. When we candidates
2:41:11ask, you ignore us. When a transcendent
2:41:14asks, you explain every detail. Aren't
2:41:16you just bullying the weak and fearing
2:41:18the strong? Farther away, Lua, quietly
2:41:21watching this death exam, showed
2:41:23surprise in her eyes behind her
2:41:24sunglasses. Shadow Bamboo actually took
2:41:27the initiative to talk to someone. That
2:41:29was truly rare. As two of the only
2:41:31female transcendants, Luwi and Shadow
2:41:33Bamboo were on fairly good terms, so she
2:41:36understood Shadow Bamboo better.
2:41:37Normally, if she didn't take the
2:41:39initiative to speak, Shadow Bamboo could
2:41:41sit with her all day without saying a
2:41:43word. Speaking of which, that day when
2:41:45Mad Dog clashed with Lin Mo, Shadow
2:41:48Bamboo seemed to have activated her
2:41:50sequence, ready to act at any time.
2:41:52Paying so much attention to Linmo, Luwa
2:41:55thought of something, and the corner of
2:41:56her mouth curved slightly. Could it be
2:41:58that the Dark Clan likes this cold,
2:42:00aloof little wolf dog type? I couldn't
2:42:02tell. Lew wore an anti-mile. Mad Dog
2:42:05frowned tightly. He couldn't understand
2:42:07why the Dark Clan member, who could go
2:42:0910 days or half a month without saying
2:42:11two sentences in the team, suddenly
2:42:13spoke to Lynmo. Was it just because
2:42:15Linmo was a little handsome, a little
2:42:17tall, and a little lucky? If Lyno had
2:42:19caught her eye, that would be trouble.
2:42:21Mad Dog clenched his fists. Although the
2:42:24dark clan member never fought or
2:42:25competed in the team and was usually so
2:42:27silent, she had little presence. Even
2:42:30Luan did not dare provoke her easily
2:42:32because she was a sequence nine shadow
2:42:34assassin. Offending her meant that for
2:42:36every remaining day of your life, you
2:42:38would have to sleep with one eye open.
2:42:40And there is only a thousand days of
2:42:42being a thief, not a thousand days of
2:42:44guarding against one. Over time, even a
2:42:47transcendent in such a constant state of
2:42:49fear of being killed at any moment might
2:42:51have a mental breakdown. that damn
2:42:54Lynmo. When did he hook up with that
2:42:55from the Dark Clan? Mad Dog wanted
2:42:58to kill someone, but he felt he might be
2:42:59overthinking it. How could a
2:43:01transcendent possibly take a fancy to an
2:43:03ordinary exam slave who was merely a bit
2:43:06stronger physically? Calm down. Don't
2:43:08scare yourself. Mad Dog comforted
2:43:10himself. Continuing the simulation, I
2:43:12looked at the simulation text popping up
2:43:14in front of me. In the demon kitchen,
2:43:16Mr. Butler once again explained the
2:43:18names and effects of various dark
2:43:19ingredients to me and my five teammates.
2:43:22After he finished introducing them,
2:43:24while the others looked at the dazzling
2:43:25array of ingredients, and hesitated, not
2:43:28knowing where to start, I directly
2:43:29picked up a ghost face pumpkin, threw it
2:43:31into a pot, added water, and boiled it
2:43:34over high heat. Then I put the thousand
2:43:36meat chunk, writhing tentacle octopus,
2:43:39demon maneing flower, hell black
2:43:41scorpion, thousand-legged thousand
2:43:43centipede, and so on, each in separate
2:43:45pots over blue flames to boil. What is
2:43:48he trying to do? Wong Chong and the
2:43:50others gathered together, whispering,
2:43:52glancing at me from time to time. The
2:43:54demon butler was also curious, but
2:43:56seeing that I merely boiled each dish
2:43:58without any clever seasoning, he finally
2:44:00could not help, saying, "Mr. Lynmo, your
2:44:03dishes are so bland. I'm afraid they
2:44:05won't be enough to please the demon
2:44:06hound." Looking at the boiled
2:44:08ingredients, I said calmly, "These
2:44:10ingredients are not for the demon
2:44:12hound." "Oh, then who are they for?" The
2:44:14demon butler was curious and Wong Chong
2:44:17and the others pricricked up their ears.
2:44:19I'll eat them? I said calmly. You'll eat
2:44:21them? The demon butler was stunned. Then
2:44:23his eyes narrowed. "Is that not
2:44:25allowed?" I asked. The demon butler
2:44:28smiled and shook his head. "Of course
2:44:30it's allowed, but you'd better think
2:44:31carefully. These are all ingredients
2:44:33produced in hell. Not to mention you.
2:44:35Even low-level transcendent humans might
2:44:37be infected by demonic breath after
2:44:39eating them, fall, and become a writhing
2:44:42lump of meat. But I still want to try.
2:44:44Wong Chong and the others all thought I
2:44:46had gone crazy. The demon butler smiled
2:44:49and made a please gesture. I've given
2:44:51you all the warnings I should. Please do
2:44:53as you like, but if you become weak from
2:44:55diarrhea and cannot cook properly to
2:44:57please Lord Viscounts beloved hound, you
2:44:59will bear the consequences yourself.
2:45:01Then, under the gaze of everyone in the
2:45:03kitchen, I picked up a knife and fork
2:45:05and began to eat heartily. When the
2:45:07ghost face pumpkin entered my mouth, the
2:45:09taste was unexpectedly not bad. Sweeter
2:45:12than ordinary pumpkin, and it contains
2:45:14surging energy. Watching me eat these
2:45:16strange ingredients. Wong Chong and the
2:45:18others almost vomited on the spot,
2:45:21especially when they saw me stuff a
2:45:22still writhing piece of meat into my
2:45:24mouth, one candidate finally couldn't
2:45:26hold it in and vomited with a wow. The
2:45:28demon butler watched me eating
2:45:30ravenously, narrowed his eyes slightly
2:45:32with some doubt, but soon relaxed and
2:45:35murmured. The angelic power dispelled
2:45:37the hellish aura contained in the food,
2:45:39equivalent to purifying it. I felt the
2:45:42surging pure energy in the food,
2:45:44continuously washing my body and
2:45:46strengthening every cell. When I
2:45:48finished the last portion and felt I
2:45:49could not stuff in another bite, I
2:45:51vaguely sensed deep in my body a
2:45:53transcendent power about to burst out. I
2:45:55didn't know the specifics, but I felt
2:45:57this was probably some sign of sequence
2:45:59awakening. I cooked quite a few more
2:46:01ingredients and forced them down,
2:46:03absorbing the energy within. But that
2:46:05feeling did not appear again. The demon
2:46:07butler smiled and shook his head. What a
2:46:09pity. You were only one step away from
2:46:11becoming a transcendent. But once this
2:46:13opportunity is missed, it is missed.
2:46:16There was some regret in his tone. But
2:46:17it was not for me, but for his master,
2:46:20Viscount Edington. A transcendent, a
2:46:22currency condensed from a human soul,
2:46:24was extremely valuable. Even that body
2:46:27full of transcendent energy was in the
2:46:29demon world a toprade ingredient coveted
2:46:32by countless demons. Now that you've
2:46:34eaten and drunk your fill, Mr. Lyno,
2:46:37what delicacy do you plan to cook for
2:46:38Lord Viscount's beloved hound? I walked
2:46:41back and forth to speed up digestion and
2:46:43said, "I am working hard on the cooking.
2:46:45It may take quite a while. Why not wait
2:46:47a bit while I cook?" The demon butler
2:46:49was full of doubt. Was this cooking?
2:46:51Time passed minuteby minute, and Wong
2:46:53Chong and the others also entered the
2:46:55cooking stage. Although they did not
2:46:57understand what I was doing, in order to
2:46:59survive, they could only brace
2:47:00themselves and cook with some
2:47:02ingredients. A candidate was bitten by
2:47:04the thousand-legged thousand-eyed
2:47:05centipede, and terrifying black patterns
2:47:07quickly spread across his skin.
2:47:09Tentacles like those of a centipede, and
2:47:11eyes grew all over his body, and in the
2:47:14end, he transformed into a thousand,
2:47:16thousand-legged centipede, writhing on
2:47:18the ground. He died. The horrifying
2:47:20scene gave Wong Chong and the others a
2:47:22great fright. They had not expected
2:47:24these ingredients to be so dangerous. A
2:47:27slight mishandling could land one in
2:47:28some unknown, horrifying peril. They
2:47:31spent a lot of time handling ingredients
2:47:32and cooking. As for me, after eating a
2:47:35large amount of hellish transcendent
2:47:36ingredients, even though my stomach and
2:47:38intestines had been washed again by
2:47:40transcendent energy and my digestion had
2:47:42greatly improved, I still could not hold
2:47:44on. I said to the demon butler, "I feel
2:47:47it coming. I need to use the toilet."
2:47:49The demon butler was not surprised at
2:47:51all. Even though the angelic power in my
2:47:53body had dispelled the contaminating
2:47:55aura in the ingredients, I only several
2:47:58times stronger than an ordinary person,
2:48:00still found it hard to withstand the
2:48:02vast energy inside. He snapped his
2:48:04fingers, and a big eye with black wings
2:48:06went to guide me. I took a large tray.
2:48:08The demon butler and the uneasy Wong
2:48:10Chong and the others looked confused,
2:48:13not knowing what I had taken the tray
2:48:14for. When I returned, carrying a
2:48:16mosaic-like lump emanating the aura of
2:48:19various dark transcendent ingredients.
2:48:21Wong Chong and the others almost vomited
2:48:23on the spot. Even the usually elegant
2:48:25demon butler now had an ugly expression.
2:48:28Mr. Lynn, what are you doing? The demon
2:48:30butler's expression was cold. If I was
2:48:32playing tricks on him, then he would
2:48:34next give me a hard time. Wong Chong and
2:48:36the others were all waiting to watch a
2:48:38good show, wanting to see how I would
2:48:40die next. There was a hint of shot and
2:48:42Freuda in their eyes. I said flatly.
2:48:44This is the delicacy I cooked for
2:48:46Viscount Edington's beloved hound. A d
2:48:48delicacy? The demon butler looked again
2:48:51and again, stammering. The corner of his
2:48:53mouth twitched violently and his face
2:48:55scrunched up. But according to the
2:48:57rules, there seemed to be no problem.
2:48:59Wong Chong and the others stared
2:49:01wideeyed. One candidate muttered, "Don't
2:49:03say it, but you really can't deny it. As
2:49:06they say, a dog can't change its habit
2:49:07of eating shit." A demon hound is still
2:49:10a dog. Another candidate nodded heavily.
2:49:12It really might work. My family once
2:49:14raised a golden retriever. Except for
2:49:16the few days after being beaten, it
2:49:18would be obedient. A few days later, it
2:49:20would eat it again, get it all over
2:49:22itself, and make a mess of the room. And
2:49:25then, one candidate asked curiously,
2:49:27taught it with a heart-piercing kick.
2:49:29The demon butler stared at me. "Mr.
2:49:31Lyno, are you serious?" "I don't like
2:49:33jokes," I replied. Seeing my calm face,
2:49:36the demon butler took a deep breath. as
2:49:39you wish. But you'd better pray that
2:49:41this lump of delicacy you cooked can
2:49:43truly please my master's beloved hound.
2:49:45Otherwise, purgatory awaits you next. I
2:49:48naturally knew what he meant by
2:49:49purgatory. I had been there in previous
2:49:51simulations. Since you're ready, let's
2:49:53go see my master. The demon butler
2:49:55looked at my somewhat forced expression.
2:49:57After covering it with the polished
2:49:59silver cloch, I followed him away. My
2:50:01five teammates watched me leave calmly.
2:50:03They had originally had little
2:50:04confidence in the so-called delicacies
2:50:06they had cooked. After exchanging
2:50:08glances, they all decided to imitate me.
2:50:10Two candidates looked at the already
2:50:12cooked dark cuisine and one directly
2:50:14began to eat. But moments later, black
2:50:17liquid flowed from his seven orififices
2:50:19and his whole body convulsed and
2:50:21struggled violently on the kitchen
2:50:22floor. They watched him twist and deform
2:50:25step by step, finally becoming a lump of
2:50:27mud covered with countless sharp teeth.
2:50:30Wong Chong and the others expressions
2:50:32changed drastically. Just as the
2:50:34horrifying monster transformed from the
2:50:36candidate was about to attack Wong Chong
2:50:38and the others, a demon guard who had
2:50:40appeared in the kitchen at some point
2:50:41threw a ball of black flame, burning the
2:50:44meat mud to ashes, then glanced
2:50:46indifferently at Wong Chong and the
2:50:47others and left. At this point, no one
2:50:50among Wong Chong and the others dared to
2:50:52try casually again. These ingredients
2:50:54were simply not something they could
2:50:55digest. One candidate said, "Then what
2:50:58do we do?" Wong Chong gritted his teeth.
2:51:00We don't necessarily have to use these
2:51:02ingredients. After hesitating, one
2:51:04candidate said, "Then let's<unk> do it
2:51:06normally. What else can we do?" Looking
2:51:09at the text in the simulation, I sitting
2:51:11at the exam desk felt the corner of my
2:51:13eye twitch violently. This was a
2:51:15simulation with a very strong smell. The
2:51:17simulation continued. The demon butler
2:51:20and I came to the main hall. When I
2:51:22appeared in the main hall carrying the
2:51:23tray, before Viscount Edington could
2:51:25even speak, the demon hound lying at his
2:51:28feet twitched its nose and suddenly
2:51:30stood up. Its eyes stared with desire at
2:51:32the tray in my hands, saliva dripping
2:51:34uncontrollably, tail wagging furiously.
2:51:37Viscount Edington was somewhat
2:51:39incredulous. After all, this damn dog
2:51:41had not eaten for 3 days. What kind of
2:51:43delicacy had this human cooked? Viscount
2:51:46Edington's curiosity had been pulled to
2:51:48its peak, and the demon butler who had
2:51:50brought me in upon seeing the demon
2:51:52hounds reaction wore an expression that
2:51:54was utterly bizarre. In his heart, he
2:51:56murmured faintly. Although the cooking
2:51:58process of this food was truly most
2:52:00inelegant and utterly lacking the
2:52:02dignity and noble ought to have, judging
2:52:04from the reaction of my master's beloved
2:52:06hound, Mr. Lynn's cooking was
2:52:08undoubtedly a success. He very likely
2:52:11could successfully please my master's
2:52:12beloved hound. Bring up the food cooked
2:52:15by this human and let me see it. This
2:52:17count Edington's voice came, tinged with
2:52:19urgency. The demon butler looked at his
2:52:22master, whose face was full of
2:52:23expectation, and walked over somewhat
2:52:25guilty, carrying the covered platter.
2:52:28This time, Viscount Edington opened the
2:52:29cover himself. He wanted to see just
2:52:31what kind of food I had made, enough to
2:52:34make the demon hound, which had been
2:52:35anorexic for many days, so eager at this
2:52:38moment. When he opened it, hot air mixed
2:52:40with various odors rushed at his face.
2:52:42This Count Edington's handsome face
2:52:44froze instantly, and his entire person
2:52:47seemed to enter a petrified state. The
2:52:49atmosphere in the hall became extremely
2:52:51strange for a time. When everything
2:52:52began to flow again, a wretching sound
2:52:55came. Viscount Edington actually cast
2:52:57aside the dignity of a demon noble, and
2:52:59violently dry heaved. For a while, the
2:53:01demon butler did not dare even breathe
2:53:04loudly, and hardened his scalp as he
2:53:06held the platter. Facing Viscount
2:53:08Edington's murderous gaze, he could only
2:53:10keep himself taught. human, you dare
2:53:12mock me like this? Anger, rage, pressure
2:53:15rushing in like a mountain, looking at
2:53:17the demonic aura soaring into the sky
2:53:19from his body. The handsome Viscount
2:53:21Edington had now completely transformed
2:53:24into a hideous demon. Black wings
2:53:26spreading from his back, glaring down at
2:53:28me from above. Although I felt that the
2:53:30terrifying pressure on my body would
2:53:32crush me into meat paste the next
2:53:34moment. I knew that the rules of the
2:53:36death exam also restrained Viscount
2:53:38Edington. The other party could not
2:53:40directly punish me before the demon
2:53:41hound had tasted the dish I cooked. I
2:53:43said respectfully, "Honorable Lord
2:53:45Viscount, I absolutely have no intention
2:53:48of offending you. But this is after
2:53:50careful consideration the dish most
2:53:52likely to please your beloved hound.
2:53:54Please let your beloved hound taste it.
2:53:56If it still cannot please your beloved
2:53:58hound, then afterward, no matter what
2:54:01punishment you wish to inflict on me, I
2:54:03will accept it with gratitude. Feeling
2:54:05my humility, Viscount Edington's anger
2:54:07only then diminished a little. With a
2:54:09face full of disgust, he glanced at the
2:54:11indescribable lump on the plate that was
2:54:13still steaming hot. After returning to
2:54:16human form, he said disgustedly, "Take
2:54:18it to Abby to taste." The demon butler,
2:54:21who had been leaning his neck back all
2:54:23along, endured his nausea and carried
2:54:25the platter to the impatient demon
2:54:27hound. What followed was eating like a
2:54:29storm, watching the demon hound, which
2:54:31seemed to wish to swallow even the
2:54:33platter. My face was full of relief.
2:54:35Yes, just like that tear and bite in big
2:54:38mouthfuls. When the demon hound had
2:54:40licked the plate over and over until it
2:54:42nearly licked bald the hard glazed
2:54:44layer, did it finally reluctantly put it
2:54:46down. And the look it turned on me was
2:54:48full of satisfaction. It had never in
2:54:50its life tasted such ultimate
2:54:52deliciousness. It was as if the hole
2:54:54that had always been empty in its heart
2:54:56had finally been viciously filled by me,
2:54:58and it felt a happiness unlike any
2:55:00before. Looking at the demon hound like
2:55:03this, Viscount Edington's eye corner
2:55:05twitched hard. Finally satisfied, he
2:55:07took a deep breath and looked at me
2:55:09below, the disgust in his eyes still
2:55:11hard to conceal. Human, you have
2:55:13successfully pleased my beloved hound.
2:55:15According to what we agreed, you may
2:55:17obtain one wish. Tell me what you want.
2:55:19I took a deep breath, looked at Viscount
2:55:22Eddington, and said respectfully, "Lord
2:55:24Viscount, what is the scope of this
2:55:26wish?" Viscount Edington said lightly,
2:55:29"Giving you a portion of demonic power
2:55:31or helping you awaken a sequence and
2:55:33become a transcendent? That sort of
2:55:35level. I took a deep breath. Then I want
2:55:37to awaken a sequence." In the great hall
2:55:40of the demon castle, the air was utterly
2:55:42quiet. Then came Viscount Edington's
2:55:44hearty laughter. I told you to make a
2:55:46wish and you actually made one. Looking
2:55:48at Viscount Eddington, whose face was
2:55:50full of mockery, my heart sank. Viscount
2:55:53Edington looked at the demon butler.
2:55:55Butler, he actually seemed to believe it
2:55:57that as long as he pleased my beloved
2:55:59hound, he could obtain a wish. Look at
2:56:01how serious he was when he made his
2:56:03choice just now. It's killing me with
2:56:05laughter. This lord, the demon butler
2:56:07grinned. Oh, my master, when you
2:56:10answered just now, you acted so
2:56:12convincingly. Otherwise, how could our
2:56:14Mr. Lynn Mo have so seriously asked you
2:56:16to help him awaken a sequence? Then came
2:56:18another burst of laughter. Standing
2:56:20below the demon throne, I stood like a
2:56:22lackey, like a strayed dog by the
2:56:24roadside. Seeing that my expression was
2:56:27calm, completely without shock or
2:56:29curses, Viscount Edington felt bored. He
2:56:32waved his hand. All right, go back. To
2:56:34survive from a demon's hands is already
2:56:36the greatest grace. A person cannot be
2:56:39insatiable. Biscount Edington said
2:56:41lightly. I completed the death exam and
2:56:43was teleported back. Simulation ended.
2:56:46Score 100. Evaluation perfect. You
2:56:49cooked an ultimate deliciousness in an
2:56:51astonishing way and successfully pleased
2:56:53the demon hound, filling the emptiness
2:56:55it had felt in its heart since birth. It
2:56:57had never been so happy. And because you
2:57:00consumed transcendent food from hell,
2:57:02the angelic power within your body
2:57:04dispelled the corrosion of hellish aura
2:57:06against you. And what you obtained was
2:57:08pure energy. Your physical fitness
2:57:10increased to six times that of an
2:57:12ordinary adult. Moreover, the sequence
2:57:14within your body was enticed by the
2:57:16energy. In the future, if you obtain the
2:57:18corresponding opportunity, the
2:57:20probability of awakening a sequence will
2:57:22increase greatly. Looking at the
2:57:24simulation result, I was silent for a
2:57:26long time. This was what a demon was
2:57:28like. It could be said that if I had not
2:57:30had the blessing of the little angel
2:57:31Kaisha within me and had chosen option
2:57:34C, then in the end, even if I succeeded
2:57:36in pleasing the demon hound, what
2:57:38returned would likely have been only a
2:57:40half monster corroded by hellish aura.
2:57:42No wonder it was said that any option
2:57:44involving demons was best not touched at
2:57:46all. I thought silently to myself.
2:57:48So-called stereotypes never come from
2:57:50nowhere. But this option had ultimately
2:57:52been quite rewarding. Still, compared
2:57:55with doubling my current physical
2:57:56strength again, I would rather awaken a
2:57:58sequence. After all, even if I had the
2:58:01physique of six times that of a healthy
2:58:02adult male, and in physical strength was
2:58:05almost catching up to a relatively weak
2:58:07transcendent like Mad Dog without a
2:58:09sequence ability, when facing a
2:58:11transcendent, I would still be beaten
2:58:12like a grandson. Looking at the only
2:58:14option in option A that had not yet been
2:58:16simulated, I hope this option could give
2:58:18me some surprise. Continue simulation.
2:58:21Simulation begins. I chose option A.
2:58:23Stay in the same room with an unknown
2:58:25anomaly for 1 hour. After submitting the
2:58:27answer, I was teleported into a sealed
2:58:30room, completely unable to find any
2:58:32possibility of escape. Opposite me was a
2:58:34woman with hair draped over her
2:58:36shoulders, wearing a mask with a hot
2:58:38figure and a beautiful upper half of her
2:58:40face. Looking at this description in the
2:58:42simulation, I pondered. I looked at her
2:58:45and she looked at me. She slowly walked
2:58:47toward me, came before me, and then
2:58:49spoke. Am I beautiful? I immediately
2:58:52understood this was a rank one anomaly,
2:58:54the slit-mouthed woman. I knew that with
2:58:56my current physique of three times an
2:58:58ordinary person facing an anomaly of
2:59:00this level, I had no power to fight
2:59:03back. Looking into those beautiful but
2:59:05eerie eyes, I nodded. Beautiful. The
2:59:07slit-mouthed woman grinned slowly
2:59:10removed the mask, revealing the
2:59:11horrifying, hideous scar of her mouth.
2:59:14Am I still beautiful now? I nodded and
2:59:16said sincerely, beautiful. You're lying.
2:59:19In front of me, the slit-mouthed woman,
2:59:21beautiful in the upper half of her face,
2:59:23her figure wrapped, but clearly
2:59:25extremely hot, roared at me. I knew the
2:59:27moment that decided life and death had
2:59:29come. Based on the jokes I had seen on
2:59:31the internet in my previous life, I knew
2:59:34the only chance of survival now was
2:59:36watching the slit-mouthed woman slowly
2:59:38pull out a pair of scissors, grinning at
2:59:40me. Since you think I am still beautiful
2:59:42now, then I'll make you as beautiful as
2:59:44me. I rudely pulled her by the waist
2:59:46into my arms and under her incredulous
2:59:48gaze. I slowly bent down. Miss
2:59:50slit-mouthed woman's pupils dilated and
2:59:53her heart pounded uncontrollably. I
2:59:55kissed her heart. 5 minutes later, Miss
2:59:57Slitmouthed woman, shy and bashful,
3:00:00pushed me away. Our eyes met. In the
3:00:02same room, the atmosphere became
3:00:04extremely awkward and ambiguous for a
3:00:06time, but we still had to stay in the
3:00:08room for a full hour. Soon, I discovered
3:00:10that the shyness on the slip-mouthed
3:00:11woman's face gradually faded. She put
3:00:14the mask back on and began walking
3:00:15toward me again, asking, "Am I pretty?"
3:00:18Looking at the text in the simulation, I
3:00:20pondered slightly. Could it be that some
3:00:22mechanism had refreshed? After the
3:00:24apocalypse, survivors through long
3:00:26exploration and experience accumulated
3:00:29with countless lives, finally
3:00:30discovered. Many anomalies had certain
3:00:33strict operating rules and did not act
3:00:35entirely according to their own
3:00:36consciousness. For example, there were
3:00:38so-called hanged ghosts. They must kill
3:00:40through a rope. The victim had to be
3:00:42hanged. There were also water ghosts.
3:00:44They could only kill in water, forcibly
3:00:47dragging people into the water to drown.
3:00:49There were also headless knights and the
3:00:51like, who only appeared in wastelands
3:00:53and only cut off heads when killing. If
3:00:55you cut off your own head, he would
3:00:57immediately stop attacking. The
3:00:59slip-mouthed woman's killing pattern was
3:01:00the two rounds of questioning earlier.
3:01:03No matter which round one answered, "Not
3:01:05beautiful," she would immediately enter
3:01:07a killing state. But if one answered,
3:01:09"Beautiful," she would still use
3:01:10scissors to slit the answerer's face
3:01:12open and make them look like her, and
3:01:14they still could not live. The reason
3:01:16she had not continued according to the
3:01:17slit-mouthed woman's killing rules just
3:01:19now was that I had forcibly held her
3:01:21waist and kissed her hard. With this
3:01:23completely new method, I interrupted her
3:01:25next killing procedure. Let the
3:01:27slitmouthed woman's own rationality once
3:01:29again take control of her behavior. But
3:01:32now, because we had separated again, her
3:01:34killing rules seemed to have refreshed.
3:01:36At this thought, I knew that I only
3:01:38needed to continue grasping some
3:01:40loophole in the slit-mouthed woman's
3:01:41killing rules and continue interrupting.
3:01:44Looking at the slit-mouthed woman who
3:01:45came over just like 5 minutes ago and
3:01:47asked me, "Is she beautiful?" I nodded,
3:01:50"Beautiful." A trace of shyness flashed
3:01:52through the slit-mouthed woman's eyes.
3:01:54Then, driven by some force, she came
3:01:57before me, removed the mask, and once
3:01:59again revealed that terrifying mouth
3:02:01slit to her ears. There was shyness and
3:02:04evasion in the slit-mouthed woman's
3:02:05eyes, but her mouth, as if
3:02:07uncontrollable, opened. Am I still
3:02:10beautiful now? Beautiful? I answered
3:02:12calmly. The slit-mouthed woman instantly
3:02:14became frenzied and revealed a strange
3:02:16smile. Then I will make you as beautiful
3:02:19as me, too. She took out that huge pair
3:02:21of scissors, still dripping with blood.
3:02:23But I once again pulled her by the waist
3:02:25and forcibly embraced her. Under her shy
3:02:27yet expectant gaze, her heart fluttering
3:02:30like a little deer, I kissed her heart.
3:02:32The eerie aura suffusing the
3:02:34slit-mouthed woman gradually dispersed,
3:02:36and that killing intent faded. The
3:02:38scissors fell to the ground. At first,
3:02:40she was still very passive, but slowly,
3:02:43Miss Slit-mouthed woman even began to
3:02:45take the lead. Feeling her clumsy
3:02:47movements, I, as a man, naturally could
3:02:50not give up the lead. I lifted her by
3:02:52the waist. Miss slit-mouthed woman let
3:02:54out a soft cry of surprise, looked into
3:02:57my eyes, and then obediently nestled in
3:02:59my arms. The atmosphere had been built
3:03:01up to this point. Everything that
3:03:03followed came naturally. An hour passed.
3:03:06Miss slit-mouthed woman nestled in my
3:03:08arms like a gentle little kitten, no
3:03:10longer asked me whether she was
3:03:11beautiful because I had used stronger
3:03:14evidence to let her know that she was
3:03:15truly wonderful. As the death exam was
3:03:18about to end, Miss Slipmouthed woman
3:03:20knew that with my strength, surviving in
3:03:22this post-apocalyptic world would be
3:03:24very difficult. So, she forcibly handed
3:03:26me her bloodstained scissors and said
3:03:28softly that I must live well. Watching
3:03:30that, after the 1 hour was up, the
3:03:32slit-mouthed woman, who had been as
3:03:34gentle as a little kitten, became cold
3:03:36again, I knew her killing rules had once
3:03:38again taken over her. When I was
3:03:40teleported out of the exam site, I saw
3:03:42the information of the scissors in my
3:03:44hand. Rank one anomaly drop, the
3:03:46slipmouthed woman's scissors. After I
3:03:49activate this anomaly drop, any wound I
3:03:51leave on an opponent with the scissors
3:03:52will directly affect the opponent's
3:03:54mouth. When wounds accumulate to a
3:03:56certain degree, it will directly cut off
3:03:58the opponent's head along the mouth.
3:04:00This anomaly drop is ineffective against
3:04:02targets whose level exceeds mine by too
3:04:04much as the price. Each time it is used,
3:04:07my mouth will split a little toward both
3:04:09sides. But miss slip-mouthed woman hoped
3:04:12I would always remain this handsome. So
3:04:14she forcibly made some modification to
3:04:16the scissors, causing each crack that
3:04:18appeared to become a scar on my body.
3:04:20She felt this would make me more
3:04:21charming. This effect only takes place
3:04:23when I use it personally. If the anomaly
3:04:25drop enters another person's hands, it
3:04:27will backlash according to the original
3:04:29effect. I took a deep breath and
3:04:31silently thanked Miss Slip-mouthed
3:04:33woman. When I had just returned in the
3:04:35team, apart from the mysterious girl
3:04:37Ingu shrouded in a black robe, the other
3:04:40four transcendents immediately
3:04:41surrounded me. I knew that if I did not
3:04:43hand over the anomaly drop in my hand
3:04:45today, then even if I had the angel's
3:04:47blessing, I would die here today.
3:04:49Looking at the aggressive mad dog, the
3:04:51smiling tiger brother Wu, and Lu Yu, who
3:04:54wore sunglasses and had a calm
3:04:56expression, I decided to directly hand
3:04:58the slip-mouthed woman's scissors to
3:05:00Luan to handle. After all, he was the
3:05:02strongest transcendent in the team.
3:05:04Looking at the effect of the
3:05:05slip-mouthed woman's scissors, Luan was
3:05:08very satisfied. He said that if the
3:05:10anomaly item needed to be used, he would
3:05:12find an exam slay from the team to use
3:05:14it. For now, he would keep it. A fawning
3:05:17smile appeared on Mad Dog's face as he
3:05:19flattered. "Brother Lu, you are the
3:05:21strongest among us. With you keeping it,
3:05:23we all feel at ease." I saw the
3:05:25dissatisfaction in Luan<unk>s eyes, but
3:05:28he immediately laughed heartily. We all
3:05:30understand the rules. After seeing the
3:05:32effect of the slit-mouthed woman's
3:05:34scissors, Lu instantly lost interest.
3:05:36She gave me a meaningful look. It seems
3:05:39that in this one hour, you and that
3:05:41anomaly developed feelings for each
3:05:42other. The surviving examinees in the
3:05:45venue, as well as the crowd of exam
3:05:47slaves, looked at me with both envy and
3:05:49jealousy. If they only had to work hard
3:05:51for about an hour and could come out
3:05:53alive and even obtain such an anomaly
3:05:55drop, they would be willing to.
3:05:57Simulation ended. This round score 80.
3:06:00Evaluation. There were other flaws in
3:06:02the slitmouthed woman's killing rules,
3:06:04but you did find a way that was most
3:06:05pleasant for both sides. Successfully
3:06:08enduring that short yet long hour and
3:06:10even obtained the slit-mouthed woman's
3:06:12scissors. However, because the final
3:06:14gains all became someone else's wedding
3:06:16dress, 20 points were deducted from the
3:06:18full score. But you did not gain
3:06:20nothing. Captain Luchuan now looked
3:06:22forward to you becoming a transcendent
3:06:24even more. But I could also sense his
3:06:26worry with the potential you displayed
3:06:28in these two death exams. If you grew
3:06:30up, would you threaten his absolute
3:06:32dominance in the team? Looking at this
3:06:34option that had directly achieved a
3:06:35perfect clear in one simulation, I was
3:06:38silent for a long time. Any anomaly drop
3:06:40was extremely precious and powerful. It
3:06:43possessed all kinds of inconceivable
3:06:45powers. Even an ordinary person, as long
3:06:48as they held an anomaly drop, their
3:06:50strength would undergo earth shaking
3:06:51changes. For example, with my three
3:06:54times physique, if I also had the
3:06:55slitmouthed woman's scissors, if I
3:06:57risked my life in a head-on fight, I was
3:07:00afraid even Mad Dog would have to trade
3:07:02away most of his life before he could
3:07:03kill me. And as for the side effect of
3:07:05this anomaly drop, if it had been at the
3:07:08beginning, I would have carefully
3:07:09considered whether to use it. But after
3:07:11Miss Slipmouthed woman's modification,
3:07:13what split was no longer my mouth, but
3:07:15scars left on my body. For a man, scars
3:07:18are metals of manhood. The side effect
3:07:20brought by the slip-mouthed woman's
3:07:22scissors could almost be directly
3:07:23ignored. Unfortunately, even if I held
3:07:26this anomaly drop, facing Lu Chuan and
3:07:29the other true transcendence, I could
3:07:31still only hand over the drop.
3:07:33Otherwise, I would die on the spot. But
3:07:35this slip-mouthed woman's scissors had
3:07:37been obtained by selling my body. There
3:07:39was still more than 1 minute left to
3:07:40submit the answer for the death exam. I
3:07:42did not try to continue simulating to
3:07:44find a possible better solution. Summing
3:07:46up all the results from one simulation,
3:07:49I first rejected the option B of killing
3:07:51an adult goblin. With my current
3:07:53ability, even if there were enormous
3:07:55resources in that option, I could not
3:07:57even get past the goblin elite Boo.
3:07:59Behind him, there were even groups of
3:08:01goblin elites and that terrifying goblin
3:08:03mage. If I chose it, it would be no
3:08:05different from directly seeking death.
3:08:07In option A, I would return with a rank
3:08:09one anomaly drop in exchange for Luan's
3:08:12regard and weariness, but it would not
3:08:14improve my own strength at all. There
3:08:16was no doubt that Lu Chuan<unk>s regard
3:08:17was not worth it. Moreover, this regard
3:08:20was mixed with weariness. I had not even
3:08:22awakened a sequence and become a
3:08:24transcendent yet, and he was already
3:08:26weary. Then later, if I really awakened
3:08:28a sequence and became a transcendent,
3:08:30and he saw my doineering aura exposed,
3:08:33would Luchuan not think of a way to make
3:08:35me die directly in the death exam or use
3:08:37me as rear guard when encountering
3:08:39monsters or anomalies? The highest cost
3:08:42performance, greatest gains, and lowest
3:08:44risk was actually option C. Cooking
3:08:46delicious food to please the anorexic
3:08:48demon hound. I was speechless in this
3:08:51option. If I had not borne the angel's
3:08:53blessing and been able to purify the
3:08:55evil energy in those hell ingredients,
3:08:57then even if I cleared it after
3:08:59returning, I would probably face
3:09:01enormous trouble. The most infuriating
3:09:03thing was that after pleasing that dead
3:09:05dog, Viscount Edington did not give even
3:09:07a single hair as reward. Even a slight
3:09:10boost to strength would have been good.
3:09:11But at present, there really was no
3:09:13better option. I could only hope that in
3:09:15the next two questions, there would be
3:09:17an opportunity for me to truly awaken a
3:09:19sequence and become a transcendent.
3:09:21There's almost no time left. You bunch
3:09:23of trash. What are you still doawling
3:09:25for? Seeing that time was almost up and
3:09:27that I and another seven or eight people
3:09:29were still hesitating and struggling,
3:09:31the loud voice of the hot-tempered
3:09:33brother Wu came. Which one should we
3:09:35choose? Whatever. I'll choose whichever
3:09:37one the transcendents choose. Are you an
3:09:40idiot? For a transcendent to kill an
3:09:42adult goblin is a matter of blowing out
3:09:44a breath. With your skinny arms and
3:09:46legs, even if you throw your life away,
3:09:48can you kill an adult goblin? Then what
3:09:50do we do? If you ask me, if you can't
3:09:53match them in hard power, then gamble on
3:09:55luck. Either choose A or choose C.
3:09:58Didn't they say options with demons
3:09:59cannot be chosen? That depends on the
3:10:01situation. Risk often comes with
3:10:03resources. If you can successfully
3:10:05please this demon hound, maybe you'll
3:10:07get some reward and immediately turn a
3:10:09bicycle into a motorcycle, becoming a
3:10:11person above others in one step. Looking
3:10:14at the one-minute countdown, more than
3:10:1610 examinees who had not yet made a
3:10:18choice argued fiercely and finally
3:10:20grinding their teeth made their choices.
3:10:23To the surprise of the exam slaves and
3:10:25transcendants watching, as many as three
3:10:27people chose to cook delicious food to
3:10:29please the anorexic demon hound. These
3:10:32people are crazy, the exam slaves
3:10:34discussed. Mad Dog, Brother Woo, and the
3:10:37others, however, wore mocking smiles.
3:10:39Look at these trash. They're probably
3:10:41all thinking they can scrape a few
3:10:43scraps from a demon's hands. At this
3:10:45moment in the venue, there were actually
3:10:4710 people who chose option B to defeat
3:10:49an adult goblin. There were four who
3:10:51chose to stay in a room with an unknown
3:10:53anomaly for 1 hour. There were three who
3:10:55went to the demon kitchen to cook
3:10:56delicious food and please the demon
3:10:58hound. Looking at the last three who had
3:11:00not yet made a choice, most people's
3:11:02attention fell on me. For me, who had
3:11:05just gained the most in the previous
3:11:06death exam, not to mention ordinary exam
3:11:09slaves, even Luan and the others paid
3:11:11considerable attention. I slowly spoke.
3:11:14I choose C. The air was quiet for a
3:11:16moment, but then there was an uproar. Is
3:11:18this Lino crazy? With his strength,
3:11:21choosing option B would be a sure thing
3:11:23to pass this death exam. But he actually
3:11:25chose an option with a demon, one
3:11:27examinee said in shock. This Linmo is a
3:11:30madman. Does he really think those
3:11:31legends about demons are false? Right
3:11:33now, those choosing option C are all
3:11:36exam slaves who know a little about dogs
3:11:38but have no combat ability and are so
3:11:40hungry they can barely stand. Truly
3:11:42surprising. Looking at my choice, Luan
3:11:45was somewhat astonished. But looking at
3:11:47my choice, he felt he understood my
3:11:48style a little more. This was a gambler
3:11:51who could put his life on the gambling
3:11:52table at any time. He knew very well
3:11:54what people like me were thinking
3:11:56because of Mad Dog's threat. In order to
3:11:58obtain power, I wanted to go to a world
3:12:00with demons, trade with demons, or
3:12:03receive a demon's reward. Luchuan shook
3:12:05his head slightly. This kind of gambler
3:12:07he both admired and did not admire. What
3:12:10he admired was the boldness to stake
3:12:11one's life for a future. But what he did
3:12:14not admire was that such people often
3:12:15did not live long. Wealth and honor are
3:12:18sought in danger and also lost in
3:12:20danger. In the death exam game, living
3:12:22long was the hard truth. Luchuan's gaze
3:12:24was calm. Mad Dog and Brother Wu had
3:12:27different attitudes. Brother Wu grinned.
3:12:29Good kid. Planning to make a big score.
3:12:31If his luck is good, passing this round
3:12:34of death exam might even let him join
3:12:36our fivep person team. Mad Dog sneered.
3:12:38He's probably thinking that if he serves
3:12:40the demon hound comfortably, he'll get
3:12:42some extra reward. Pure path dependence.
3:12:45Does he really think that after narrowly
3:12:46surviving one round, luck will always
3:12:49stand on his side? Does he really think
3:12:50that after gambling his life and
3:12:52obtaining the angel's blessing in the
3:12:54previous death exam this round he's
3:12:56going to get a demon's blessing too?
3:12:58It's simply laughably arrogant. Although
3:13:00he said this, I could tell he was
3:13:02secretly overjoyed. Since I was courting
3:13:04death myself in the death exam, there
3:13:06was no need for him to look for an
3:13:08opportunity to act in the next town.
3:13:10After all, as the exam slave most likely
3:13:12to awaken a sequence and become a
3:13:14superhuman, I was still quite valued by
3:13:16Luchuan. As I chose answer C and
3:13:19prepared to go to the demon kitchen,
3:13:20there were already four examinees.
3:13:22Seeing me choose C, the first three exam
3:13:25slaves clenched their fists and the
3:13:27unease on their faces faded a little.
3:13:29Look, Lin Mo chose the demon kitchen,
3:13:31too. Our choice was right. Exactly. In
3:13:34the last round, he defeated a judging
3:13:36angel. Maybe the resources contained in
3:13:38it were all discovered by him. Since he
3:13:40also chose C, it proves that he not only
3:13:43saw a way to live among the death
3:13:44options, but even saw resources. The
3:13:47only three who had not yet made a choice
3:13:49began to waver after I made mine. Which
3:13:51one should I choose? Lyn Mo is a
3:13:53mad man, but he's a veteran among the
3:13:55exam slaves who has survived until now.
3:13:58He must have sharp judgment. I'll go
3:13:59with him. An unknown exam slave gritted
3:14:02his teeth and chose C. My expression
3:14:04turned strange. I was grateful for this
3:14:06survivor<unk>'s trust, but if he chose
3:14:08that option, he would most likely not
3:14:10come back alive. Of the other two, one
3:14:12remained indecisive. No demons. You
3:14:15can't choose demons. Any option
3:14:17involving demons is 100% loaded with
3:14:19huge risk. You won't even know how you
3:14:22died. Gritting his teeth, he chose a
3:14:24staying in a room with an unknown
3:14:26anomaly for an hour. Maybe there's still
3:14:28a chance of survival. If the anomaly
3:14:30were ridiculously strong, it definitely
3:14:32wouldn't give a time limit as long as an
3:14:34hour. He seemed to comfort himself,
3:14:36muttering. The last remaining person was
3:14:38Wong Chong, who had been forcibly sent
3:14:40here by Mad Dog. He kept staring at me.
3:14:43Although he was completely unconvinced
3:14:44by me, who had also gone through the
3:14:46last death exam, looking at options A
3:14:48and B, he didn't dare choose A. If he
3:14:51encountered an earlier anomaly, he would
3:14:53die with no ability to fight back. As
3:14:55for B, last night he had been fooling
3:14:57around too hard with Wong Yen, who had
3:14:59traded her body for half a beef can. Now
3:15:01his legs were weak and his kidneys achd.
3:15:04He had no confidence that in this
3:15:06drained state, he could defeat an adult
3:15:08goblin. That damn If she hadn't
3:15:10drained me dry, I might not lose to an
3:15:13adult goblin. Wong Chong cursed Wong Yin
3:15:16inwardly as a who had squeezed out
3:15:18his strength. After careful
3:15:19consideration, he clenched his teeth.
3:15:21Although Linmo was a mad man who dared
3:15:24to think of defeating a judging angel.
3:15:26No one would joke with his own life. He
3:15:28must have seen something. There must be
3:15:29a way to live in the demon kitchen. I
3:15:31don't believe I'm worse than him and
3:15:33can't find it. If this is a multiplayer
3:15:35mission, then whatever he does, I'll
3:15:37copy. Most likely, I won't die. With
3:15:39that thought, he looked at me with a
3:15:41hint of mockery. Lyn Mo, aren't you
3:15:43impressive? Even the superhuman in the
3:15:45team thinks highly of you. Then go ahead
3:15:47and pave the way for me. I choose C.
3:15:49Wong Chong slapped the table and
3:15:51shouted. As Wong Chong made his
3:15:53decision, a mechanical cold voice
3:15:55sounded. All examinees have submitted
3:15:57their answers. Proceeding to the formal
3:15:59exam site. The exam slaves and
3:16:01superhumans watching the death exam all
3:16:04became serious. They had expected most
3:16:06examinees in this round to choose B. But
3:16:08now it seemed that including the
3:16:10superhuman Ingu, only 10 people chose to
3:16:12defeat an adult goblin. Of the remaining
3:16:1510, six had actually chosen the demon
3:16:17kitchen, while four with no strength
3:16:19left after days of hunger chose to spend
3:16:21an hour alone with an unknown anomaly.
3:16:23If everyone chose B, this death exam
3:16:26question would be a bit too boring.
3:16:27Brother Wu licked his lips, his eyes
3:16:30full of anticipation, clearly eager for
3:16:32drama. There were many exam slaves like
3:16:34him. For those lacking clothes and food,
3:16:36constantly anxious about attacks by
3:16:38anomalies and monsters, and at the
3:16:40bottom of the team being exploited and
3:16:42oppressed, a rare pleasure was watching
3:16:44examinees in the death exam struggle
3:16:46with all their might and finally die
3:16:48inside. "It's starting," someone
3:16:50exclaimed. Everyone instantly held their
3:16:52breath. Watching the death exam had its
3:16:54benefits. If they encountered the same
3:16:56type of death exam question next time,
3:16:58it would practically be giving them
3:16:59supplies. The huge exam paper lit up
3:17:02three options and a terrifying suction
3:17:04force pulled all 20 people sitting at
3:17:06the desks inside. The huge exam paper
3:17:08then showed the scenes inside the death
3:17:10exam site. This is option A. Looking at
3:17:13the projection of a room with only a
3:17:14bed, a table and a chair, doors and
3:17:17windows locked. One examinee looked
3:17:19around in terror and vigilance. Luan and
3:17:22the others watched breathlessly, wanting
3:17:24to see what level the unknown anomaly in
3:17:27option A was. Those who chose a have
3:17:29very weak suction. They're so hungry
3:17:31they can barely stand. Whether they live
3:17:33depends purely on luck. Brother Wu<unk>s
3:17:36eyes held mockery. When a woman with
3:17:38long flowing hair, the upper half of her
3:17:40face fair and bright, wearing a mask, a
3:17:42white cloak over a hot figure, suddenly
3:17:45appeared. Everyone watching the death
3:17:47exam held their breath. Am I beautiful?
3:17:49Hearing the slit-mouthed woman's
3:17:51slightly eerie voice from the
3:17:52projection, the watching superhumans and
3:17:55exam slaves immediately understood. It's
3:17:57the slit-mouthed woman, an exam slave
3:17:59exclaimed. She asks any living person
3:18:02she meets whether she is beautiful. If
3:18:04you answer yes, she takes off her mask,
3:18:06comes close, and asks again. If you say
3:18:08yes, she uses scissors to cut your mouth
3:18:10open completely, making you bleed to
3:18:12death. If you say no, she gets angry and
3:18:15cuts you to pieces. Either way, you're
3:18:17dead. The exam slaves felt a chill in
3:18:19their hearts and began to rejoice that
3:18:21they had not participated in this death
3:18:23exam. the aura of a first order anomaly.
3:18:25But her killing technique is rule-based.
3:18:28As long as her rule isn't broken, even a
3:18:30topsequence nine superhuman might die if
3:18:33they meet her. Luchuan instantly made
3:18:35his judgment. Beautiful. The examinee
3:18:37trembled and spoke unconsciously
3:18:40stepping backward, but soon he hit the
3:18:42wall. The slit-mouthed woman stepped
3:18:44forward and instantly appeared before
3:18:46him, her eyes playful. She slowly
3:18:48removed her mask, revealing a terrifying
3:18:50mouth that stretched to her ears and
3:18:52grinned. "Then am I still beautiful
3:18:54now?" Everyone held their breath,
3:18:56waiting for the examinees answer. After
3:18:58struggling violently, he slowly
3:19:00answered, "Beautiful." The slit-mouthed
3:19:02woman smiled and pulled a huge pair of
3:19:04scissors from her wide white coat. "Then
3:19:06let me make you as beautiful as I am." A
3:19:09scream. The projection went black and a
3:19:11bright red cross filled the screen.
3:19:13Failed. Eliminated. He died just like
3:19:16that. An examinee swallowed. What a
3:19:18joke. This is a first order rule type
3:19:20anomaly. Even a strong sequence 9 would
3:19:23find it hard to beat her. Spending an
3:19:25hour in a room with her. How is that
3:19:26possible? This is a certain death
3:19:28option. No, the death exam won't give a
3:19:31certain death choice. No matter how hard
3:19:33it is, there's actually a threat of
3:19:35life. The key is finding it. An
3:19:37experienced exam slave spoke quickly. A
3:19:39starving ordinary person who can't even
3:19:41stand steadily facing an anomaly like
3:19:44the slit-mouthed woman. Even if there's
3:19:46a way to live, he can't find it. Not
3:19:48necessarily. With the slitmouthed woman,
3:19:50the core way to survive is to make her
3:19:52believe that you truly think she's
3:19:54beautiful. Otherwise, even if you say
3:19:56beautiful, you'll still die. How to
3:19:58break the game. It's all about whether
3:20:00you can make her believe your praise is
3:20:02real. Hearing this from among the exam
3:20:04slaves, Luan glanced at the speaker.
3:20:06There were capable people in the team
3:20:08after all. He said as much. The second
3:20:10examinee who chose a appeared. A woman
3:20:13so thin she was skin and bones. When the
3:20:15slit-mouthed woman appeared, she
3:20:17collapsed to the ground in terror.
3:20:19However, the slit-mouthed woman opposite
3:20:21her seemed to enter some standby state,
3:20:23motionless. Time passed. What's going
3:20:26on? Why didn't the slit-mouthed woman
3:20:28ask if she was beautiful? It should be
3:20:30some killing rule. It doesn't work on
3:20:32female targets. What a joke. It's the
3:20:34apocalypse. Make it equal for men and
3:20:36women. Where's the gender equality? Damn
3:20:39it. Even anomalies are feminist now. In
3:20:42the seemingly frozen room, some kind of
3:20:44acceleration began. An hour passed
3:20:46quickly when a check mark appeared.
3:20:48Everyone's eyes twitched. Some female
3:20:50exam slaves like Wong Yin regretted it
3:20:53so much their guts turned green. If I'd
3:20:55known the anomaly in A was the
3:20:56slit-mouthed woman, and she doesn't
3:20:58attack women, I would have joined the
3:21:00death exam, too. What's the difference
3:21:02between this death exam questions
3:21:03resources and a direct gift? Wong Yin
3:21:06was nashing her teeth. Last night, she
3:21:08had been tormented by Wong Chong until
3:21:10late, and all she got was half a beef
3:21:12can. But this was a deluxe KFC family
3:21:15bucket and a bottle of ice cold 2 L
3:21:17cola. How many times would she have to
3:21:19be tormented to trade for that? Everyone
3:21:21shut up, hearing the noise from the exam
3:21:23slaves. Brother Wu<unk>s cold voice came
3:21:25and the place fell silent. A new
3:21:27projection appeared once again showing a
3:21:30male examinee. Facing the slit-mouthed
3:21:32woman's question, he answered,
3:21:33"Beautiful!" with a tremble. After she
3:21:36took off her mask, he thought of a joke
3:21:37he had seen before the apocalypse. He
3:21:39took a deep breath, struck what he
3:21:41thought was a handsome pose, then gently
3:21:43lifted the slit-mouthed woman's smooth,
3:21:45flawless chin with his hand, like a
3:21:48doineering CEO in a short drama, and
3:21:50said, "Oh, baby, words aren't enough to
3:21:53describe your beauty. Next, let me prove
3:21:55with actions how beautiful you are." As
3:21:57he said this, he was still trembling,
3:21:59but he forced down his nausea. He bent
3:22:01forward and puckered his lips. Oh, this
3:22:04kid is interesting. Brother Wu was
3:22:06amused. Yeah, trying to be Ning Kai
3:22:08Chin. Will it work? Luan watched the
3:22:10slit-mouthed woman's expression in the
3:22:12exam site calmly and shook his head. The
3:22:15direction is right, but he still dies.
3:22:17Why? Mad Dog asked, puzzled. Just watch,
3:22:20Luchuan said breathlessly. They watched
3:22:22the examinee puckering up to kiss the
3:22:24slit-mouthed woman. The next moment, his
3:22:27head was cut off by a huge pair of
3:22:28scissors and rolled to the ground. Ba!
3:22:31Disgusting. The slip-mouthed woman's
3:22:33voice sounded in the darkness. Then a
3:22:35huge crimson cross appeared in the
3:22:37projection. Eliminated. The last
3:22:39examinee who chose a appeared and it was
3:22:41the same. He wanted to use the handsome
3:22:43man trick to prove his words were true,
3:22:45but the slip-mouthed woman still cut him
3:22:47in two. Damn, he died too. Those
3:22:50internet jokes are all lies. If we
3:22:52encounter the slitmouthed woman in a
3:22:54death exam in the future, what should we
3:22:56do to survive? Actually, the latter two
3:22:59both took the right path. Luchuan spoke
3:23:01calmly. The right path, but they both
3:23:03died. Brother Wu frowned. Although
3:23:06eating human blood steamed buns was
3:23:07satisfying, if he really encountered
3:23:09this anomaly and had to fight headon,
3:23:11even he would have to pay a huge price
3:23:13to survive. If there was another way to
3:23:15pass, he really wanted to know. Luan
3:23:18smiled and looked at Lu. Miss Lu, you
3:23:20noticed it too, right? Lu was still
3:23:22wearing sunglasses, arms crossed, the
3:23:25corners of her mouth slightly raised.
3:23:27Seeing everyone's eyes on her, she
3:23:29curled her lips. Handsome men are very
3:23:31dependent on their build. Didn't you
3:23:32notice that when those two used the
3:23:34handsome man trick, the slip-mouthed
3:23:36woman slowed down a lot? She even began
3:23:38to show disgust and contempt. Obviously,
3:23:41they wanted to make their claim that she
3:23:43was beautiful more credible.
3:23:44Unfortunately, their hardware isn't
3:23:46enough. She paused, then glanced lightly
3:23:48at brother Woo and Mad Dog. in the
3:23:51entire team, including superhumans. I
3:23:53think if anyone chose a the only ones
3:23:55who could steadily pass using the
3:23:57handsome man trick are Captain Lou and
3:23:59that Lynn Mo. Why does that pretty boy
3:24:01Lin Emo deserve that? Mad Dog retorted
3:24:04instinctively. Lu smiled. Because he's
3:24:06handsome, especially after receiving
3:24:08that little angel's blessing. Is
3:24:11being good-looking so great? Mad Dog's
3:24:13tone was sour enough to be vinegar.
3:24:15Sorry. Being good-looking is sometimes
3:24:17really great in the death exam. Lu shook
3:24:20her head, but she did not say half of
3:24:22what she was thinking. If it were only
3:24:23good looks, he still might not get out
3:24:25alive. After all, as a woman, in her
3:24:27personal aesthetic, she valued looks,
3:24:29but also strength. If he was reliable
3:24:32and somewhat dominant, she would think
3:24:34even more highly of him. On the
3:24:35contrary, for a handsome but useless man
3:24:38who stammered when he spoke, she would
3:24:40only feel disgust. In the huge exam
3:24:42paper, the death exam in option A
3:24:44stopped. The projection in option B
3:24:46began to appear. Oh, it's not Ingu. The
3:24:49first to appear in the exam paper
3:24:50projection was not the superhuman Ingu
3:24:53who chose first, but an ordinary
3:24:55examinee. They watched the examinee land
3:24:57in a dense jungle surrounded by towering
3:25:00ancient trees. Opposite him was a burly
3:25:02goblin covered in iron armor, a short
3:25:04sword at his waist, and a metal spiked
3:25:06club in his hand. Seeing the goblin's
3:25:09equipment and his tall build, his
3:25:11knotted dark green muscles, everyone
3:25:13watching fell silent. Then a cry of
3:25:15disbelief sounded. What a joke. It was
3:25:17not from the watching exam slaves and
3:25:19superhumans, but from the examinee
3:25:21holding an iron hammer. The examinee had
3:25:24already prepared himself mentally. If it
3:25:26were just an ordinary adult goblin, he
3:25:28would rush up with his hammer and smash
3:25:30its head. An ordinary adult goblin
3:25:32should be killable. At most, he would be
3:25:34injured. But as soon as he was
3:25:35teleported into the exam site and saw
3:25:37the goblin elite opposite him, armed to
3:25:39the teeth and sturdy as an iron tower,
3:25:42he wanted to die. This is an adult
3:25:44goblin. An exam slave said in horror.
3:25:46Damn, look at his weapon. It looks brand
3:25:48new. Even if it's not a ranked weapon,
3:25:51it's definitely top grade. Forget the
3:25:53weapon. He's wearing armor. Armor. Did
3:25:55you see that? I remember the group of
3:25:57goblins we met last time included
3:25:59so-called goblin elites. But those
3:26:01elites only wore tattered beast hide
3:26:03armor. This is real iron armor. Don't
3:26:05mention it, but you're right. the iron
3:26:07hammer in that guy's hand. That kind of
3:26:09blunt weapon has much better
3:26:11armor-breaking effect than daggers or
3:26:13swords. Hearing others still making
3:26:15sarcastic remarks, some exam slaves who
3:26:17initially wanted to join the death exam
3:26:19after seeing option B, but ultimately
3:26:21held back felt a lingering fear. If they
3:26:24had joined the death exam and chosen B,
3:26:26which they thought had the highest
3:26:28survival rate, then the ones who would
3:26:30now have to kill that arm to the teeth
3:26:31goblin elite would be them. this
3:26:34is an adult goblin. Mad Dog cursed
3:26:36outright. At this moment, he felt that
3:26:38not long ago, he had been mocking Lynmo
3:26:40for ignoring this 100% passable option
3:26:43and choosing the demon kitchen, purely
3:26:45seeking death. But now, it proved that
3:26:47Lyn Mo's caution had saved his life at
3:26:49the critical moment. That trash Lyn Mo,
3:26:52what kind of dog luck is this? Mad
3:26:54Dog's teeth were almost grinding to
3:26:56pieces. Feeling the aura of the goblin
3:26:58elite and the projection plus that
3:27:00equipment, Mad Dog was certain that even
3:27:02if he went all out with his fire ability
3:27:04against it, without someone as a meat
3:27:06shield, he would most likely be rushed
3:27:08by the goblin elite and smashed to death
3:27:10with that equipment and body. Lino under
3:27:13her black sunglasses, Lu's eyes held
3:27:16emotion and curiosity. She wanted more
3:27:18and more to understand what kind of
3:27:19person Lin Mo really was. If Linmo could
3:27:22also awaken a sequence and become a
3:27:24superhuman, then in large multiplayer
3:27:26death exams, they would have another
3:27:28powerful teammate. Don't kill me, I'll
3:27:31do anything. After a brief days, the
3:27:33first examinee directly knelt before the
3:27:35goblin elite Baboo without hesitation.
3:27:38The pressure from the goblin opposite
3:27:40him was something he had only felt from
3:27:42the superhumans in the team. Facing such
3:27:44a monster, he knew he would die if he
3:27:46fought head-on. When the absolute aura
3:27:48of weakness radiated from him, the
3:27:50goblin elite Baboo, who had been wary
3:27:53because of his sudden teleportation,
3:27:55instantly revealed a cruel smile. Then,
3:27:57using his feet, he charged. The heavy
3:28:00black spiked clubs smashed into the
3:28:02examinees head. The projection went
3:28:04black instantly. The exam slave's faces
3:28:06turned pale. One shot. If not one shot,
3:28:09what else? With such a huge gap in
3:28:11strength, I can't imagine how he could
3:28:13live. Someone sneered. No strength. Yet
3:28:16he volunteered for the death exam
3:28:17without weighing himself. He deserved to
3:28:19die. Then a new projection appeared in
3:28:21the huge exam paper. This one reacted
3:28:24differently. He turned and fled. But the
3:28:26goblin elite Boooo behind him brought
3:28:28his huge spiked club down through the
3:28:30air, smashing him whole. Flying
3:28:32viscerous stuck to the grass, tree
3:28:34trunks everywhere. He died. Next was a
3:28:36bald burly man who had prepared himself.
3:28:39But when he saw Baboo opposite him, his
3:28:41face also turned white and his legs went
3:28:43weak. Knowing that not fighting meant
3:28:45waiting to die, he gritted his teeth and
3:28:48charged. The goblin elite Boo watched
3:28:50the insignificant ant charging to its
3:28:52death with interest. Seeing his blade
3:28:54leave only a faint white mark on the
3:28:56iron armor, Babu looked bored and
3:28:59smashed the bald man to death with one
3:29:01club. One after another, the examinees
3:29:03who chose be landed in the exam site and
3:29:05faced the elite goblin Baboo like the
3:29:08king of hell checking off names. Each
3:29:10one who went died. None could withstand
3:29:12a single blow from that spiked club.
3:29:14When the tint appeared, it was the only
3:29:16superhuman participating in the exam,
3:29:18Ingu. She wore a black cloak, held a
3:29:20dagger, and stood quietly in the field.
3:29:23Here she comes. Brother Woo, Mad Dog,
3:29:26and the others, who had already grown
3:29:27somewhat bored, immediately perked up,
3:29:30watching the repeated bloodshed in the
3:29:32exam paper projection. The exam slaves
3:29:34gradually turned from initial excitement
3:29:36to fear. Now seeing the superhuman Ingu
3:29:39appear, hope suddenly lit in their eyes.
3:29:42They didn't know what they were hoping
3:29:43for. After all, even if Ingu won, the
3:29:46reward had nothing to do with them. But
3:29:48at this moment, they just wanted her to
3:29:50win. Captain, who do you think will win?
3:29:52Brother Wu suddenly asked. Luan said
3:29:54calmly, "Can you beat that goblin
3:29:56elite?" Hearing Luan<unk>s counter
3:29:58question, Brother Wu grinned. "Of
3:30:00course, and it won't take much effort."
3:30:03Luchuan looked at the projection where
3:30:04the moment Ingu appeared, the goblin
3:30:07elite Boo<unk>s hair stood on end and he
3:30:09was no longer calm as he had been with
3:30:11the other examinees. He said calmly,
3:30:13"Don't you already know the answer?"
3:30:15Brother Wu was stunned. Then, after a
3:30:17moment of thought, understood Luan<unk>s
3:30:19meaning. If even you can beat this
3:30:21goblin elite, then Ingu has no reason
3:30:23not to. Is this secretly mocking me for
3:30:26not being Ingu<unk>s match? A flash of
3:30:28gloom passed deep in Brother Wu<unk>s
3:30:30eyes. Just when everyone thought Ingu
3:30:32would directly fight the elite goblin,
3:30:34whose whole body was tense and who
3:30:36gripped his spiked club tightly in
3:30:38vigilance, they saw Ingu hidden under
3:30:40the cloak, glance around, then directly
3:30:43slip into the forest and run in a
3:30:45certain direction. The goblin Baboos
3:30:47expression changed drastically. Damn
3:30:49human superhuman scout, stop right
3:30:51there. He chased after her like a mad
3:30:53man. Following Ingu<unk>s perspective,
3:30:55before long, everyone watching the death
3:30:57exam saw the abruptly appearing Goblin
3:31:00City. Why run? Can't even our team's
3:31:02superhuman beat this elite goblin? An
3:31:04exam slave said desparingly. But as the
3:31:07view changed, they suddenly felt that
3:31:09what Ingu wanted was not just to pass,
3:31:11but to obtain as much profit as possible
3:31:13in this death exam. When Lu Chuan, Lu
3:31:16Yu, Brother Wu, and the others saw the
3:31:18goblin city appear, their eyes all lit
3:31:21up. Behind this option was a huge world.
3:31:24Anyone who could gain something from it
3:31:25would obtain benefits far beyond the
3:31:27rewards for passing the death exam.
3:31:29Damn, if I'd known there was such a vast
3:31:31world behind it, I would have gone in
3:31:33and swept it clean no matter what.
3:31:35Brother Wu's guts were now green with
3:31:37regret. Even though in death exam games,
3:31:40there was often a limit to how many
3:31:41resources could be brought back, you
3:31:43still had to reach that limit. In a
3:31:45scene like this with a goblin city,
3:31:47going in and picking up anything, then
3:31:50killing an adult goblin and retreating
3:31:52would be a huge harvest. Enemy attack. A
3:31:55human superhuman scout has discovered
3:31:57us. The voice of the elite goblin Baboo
3:31:59came. Then the entire goblin city moved.
3:32:02They watched the city gates open. Teams
3:32:04of goblin cavalry riding white wolves
3:32:06coming out. And on the city wall, a
3:32:08goblin general coldly watching,
3:32:10directing goblin archers rapidly
3:32:12climbing the wall to unleash covering
3:32:14fire in Ingu<unk>s direction. The
3:32:16watching superhumans were all shocked.
3:32:18Such a huge formation. However, Ingu,
3:32:21who was taking the death exam, only
3:32:23frowned. The black cloak on her body
3:32:25swept out, and the dense arrows that
3:32:27should have struck her all fell away.
3:32:29That cloak was actually a special item.
3:32:31But seeing the goblin cavalry galloping
3:32:33over, each radiating a powerful aura,
3:32:36she pondered and felt that with her
3:32:38speed, she could completely escape them.
3:32:40But when she saw a figure rise from the
3:32:41tallest building above the goblin city
3:32:43and fly toward her through the air, Ingu
3:32:46immediately turned and headed toward the
3:32:48elite goblin Baboo, who was chasing her.
3:32:50In the instant she collided with the
3:32:52grinning, furious Baboo, her dagger shot
3:32:54out like lightning, piercing through the
3:32:56only exposed part of him, his throat.
3:32:59One shot. The watching exam slaves along
3:33:01with brother Wu, Mad Dog, and the others
3:33:04all widened their eyes. That terrifying
3:33:06goblin was actually killed in one move
3:33:08by Ingu. Fast, too fast. If that strike
3:33:11came at me headon, I might not be able
3:33:13to react. At this moment, Brother Wu
3:33:15suddenly understood what Luan meant. The
3:33:18gap between him and Ingu was even
3:33:20greater than he had imagined. Damn,
3:33:22human scout. An aged voice from the air
3:33:24pressed down toward Ingu like rolling
3:33:26thunder. Then countless fireballs
3:33:28appeared, falling toward her location,
3:33:31instantly turning hundreds of meters
3:33:32around into purgatory. The screen went
3:33:35black and then a large check mark
3:33:37appeared in the projection. Passed. The
3:33:39exam slaves cheered, but Luan and the
3:33:42other superhumans looked unprecedentedly
3:33:44grave. The water in option B is deeper
3:33:46than I imagined. Luan shook his head. If
3:33:49a slower reacting superhuman went, they
3:33:51might not even have the chance to kill
3:33:53the goblin elite Boo and complete the
3:33:55death exam. If I had seen that even an
3:33:57assassination type superhuman like Ingu
3:34:00almost died there after choosing B, I
3:34:02probably would have completely given up
3:34:03my idea of making a fortune if I
3:34:05encountered this exam question in the
3:34:07future. Here it comes. In the huge exam
3:34:09paper, the projection for option B ended
3:34:12and option C appeared. The watching exam
3:34:14slaves all held their breath. If the
3:34:16danger of option B exceeded their
3:34:18imagination, then a death exam involving
3:34:20demons would only be more severe. The
3:34:22projection appeared, showing me, Wong
3:34:25Chong, and four others standing in an
3:34:27environment resembling the kitchen of a
3:34:28medieval nobles castle. A demon butler
3:34:31with horns, an old rigid face, an
3:34:34elegant tailcoat, and movements
3:34:35revealing elegance and strictness stood
3:34:38before us. Around us were all kinds of
3:34:40unknown ingredients emitting evil auras.
3:34:42It's a multiplayer death exam. Seeing
3:34:45all six of us who chose C appear in the
3:34:47same environment, a cry of surprise came
3:34:49from the crowd. another multi-person
3:34:51death exam option. Lu Chuan and the
3:34:54others looked grim. At that moment,
3:34:56Ingu, who had completed her death exam,
3:34:58had already been teleported out. This
3:35:00was the privilege the death exam game
3:35:02granted to superhum. After finishing a
3:35:05death exam, one could choose to come out
3:35:07early instead of waiting with all the
3:35:08other examinees to be teleported out
3:35:10together after that questions death exam
3:35:12ended. Ingu, shrouded under her cloak,
3:35:15sat at the exam table. There was not the
3:35:17slightest ripple in her heart over
3:35:19having gained no extra rewards. She had
3:35:21left in such a hurry that she had not
3:35:23even taken the equipment from the goblin
3:35:24baboo. As if she had not seen the many
3:35:27odd gazes coming from the crowd not far
3:35:29away, she raised her head and looked at
3:35:31the huge exam paper. Six people. Another
3:35:34multi-person death exam. Brother Wu
3:35:36licked his lips. In this kind of
3:35:38situation, the probability of examinees
3:35:40coming out alive would be much higher.
3:35:42But just like in the previous round of
3:35:44the death exam when they had been chased
3:35:46by the red-clod female ghost for 5
3:35:48minutes, it all required teammates in
3:35:50the death exam to trade their lives for
3:35:52it. If that possibility did not exist,
3:35:54then there was a high probability of a
3:35:56total wipe. Because demons were
3:35:58involved, Luan and the other superhumans
3:36:01tended to expect a total wipe. Lyn Mo, I
3:36:04want to see how you survive this time.
3:36:06Mad Dog sneered. Inside the demon
3:36:08kitchen, the steward looked at the six
3:36:10humans before him, sizing them up one by
3:36:12one. He saw the panic and helplessness
3:36:14in the eyes of Wong Chong and the other
3:36:16four. When they noticed his gaze, it was
3:36:19full of awe. They lowered their heads,
3:36:21dodged backward, trying not to be
3:36:23noticed by him. His face still
3:36:24maintained propriety, but a bit more
3:36:26contempt appeared in his eyes. Only when
3:36:29he scrutinized me did he feel his eyes
3:36:30light up. He smelled the angel's
3:36:32hypocritical blessing aura. But that was
3:36:35not what made him take another look at
3:36:36me. He saw composure and calm on my
3:36:38face. In my eyes, as I looked at him,
3:36:41there was neither awe nor fear. Instead,
3:36:44there was an inexplicable sense of
3:36:46familiarity. The demon steward was
3:36:48somewhat uncertain, but he could smell
3:36:50it. My confidence and calm composure
3:36:52were definitely not faked. Demons could
3:36:54smell the fear emanating from a human
3:36:56soul. That smell could not be hidden. An
3:36:59interesting human, the demon steward
3:37:01murmured inwardly. Demons feared
3:37:03powerful humans. despised humans who
3:37:05feared demons and longed to make those
3:37:08humans who pretended to be calm before
3:37:09demons expose themselves in ugly ways.
3:37:12Yet they would look up to those who,
3:37:14though weak, faced them, demons with
3:37:16genuine, fearless hearts. Option C is
3:37:19actually a multi-person death exam. The
3:37:21wisdom of six people should be more
3:37:23useful than one. As long as we work
3:37:25together, the probability of passing
3:37:27this round of death exam is very high.
3:37:30We might even find the perfect path and
3:37:32gain the trial reward bestowed by the
3:37:34demon. After their initial panic, the
3:37:36several examinees quickly revealed
3:37:38relief and greed in their eyes. In the
3:37:40apocalypse, people feared demons, but
3:37:42they also longed to encounter them.
3:37:44Especially for them, the lowest level
3:37:46exam slaves. If anyone was still willing
3:37:49to grant them a trial, then the only
3:37:50possibility was a demon. Silence. The
3:37:53demon steward spoke coldly. When his
3:37:55intimidating gaze swept over them, Wong
3:37:58Chong and the others quickly lowered
3:38:00their heads again, not daring to breathe
3:38:02loudly. The demon steward then restored
3:38:04his smile. I have invited you here this
3:38:06time to cook delicious food, so that
3:38:08Lord Edington's beloved dog, which has
3:38:10not eaten for 3 days, can once again
3:38:12feel the deliciousness of food, gain
3:38:15heartfelt pleasure, and thereby recover
3:38:17its appetite. You may freely use all the
3:38:19ingredients in the kitchen. After you
3:38:21finish cooking, you will follow me to
3:38:23the great hall to present the food to
3:38:25Lord Edington's beloved dog. If you
3:38:27successfully please my master's dog,
3:38:29then our generous and merciful Viscount
3:38:31Edington will fulfill one of your wishes
3:38:33as a reward. One wish. Wong Chong and
3:38:36the other four immediately showed wild
3:38:38joy on their faces. This was exactly
3:38:40what they wanted. Otherwise, what normal
3:38:42person would choose a death exam option
3:38:44where a demon might appear without being
3:38:46seriously ill? Wong Chong clenched his
3:38:49fists, his eyes full of determination to
3:38:51win. As a normal person, he naturally
3:38:53would not think this wish could be made
3:38:55casually, such as ruling the entire
3:38:57world or becoming an invincible
3:38:59powerhouse. Unrealistic wishes like
3:39:01that. Choosing option C was the right
3:39:04call. The other examinees also had
3:39:06fighting spirit in their eyes. They did
3:39:08not notice at all the mockery that
3:39:10flashed deep in the demon stewards eyes
3:39:12after seeing their expressions. But he
3:39:14immediately noticed me in the crowd,
3:39:16seemingly subconsciously isolated by the
3:39:18five examinees. Why does this human not
3:39:20give off the aura of greed? The demon
3:39:23steward murmured inwardly. He looked at
3:39:25me with even more regard. This human is
3:39:28somewhat interesting. No wonder he
3:39:29received an angel's blessing, he said
3:39:31inwardly. Next, I will introduce to you
3:39:34the names and properties of the various
3:39:36ingredients in the kitchen. As the demon
3:39:38steward began explaining, everyone held
3:39:40their breath and listened intently,
3:39:42afraid of missing a single word.
3:39:44Outside, the exam slaves and even
3:39:47superhumans watching the death exam had
3:39:49already boiled over. Did you hear that?
3:39:51As long as you cook delicious food and
3:39:53please the demon hound, you can get a
3:39:55wish from a demon viscount. Damn
3:39:57it. If I had known there was this kind
3:39:59of hidden reward, I would have joined
3:40:00the death exam no matter what and chose
3:40:02an option C. How hard can pleasing a dog
3:40:05be? Just give it more meat and its tail
3:40:07will wag loud enough to shake the sky.
3:40:09At this moment, the exam slaves looked
3:40:11at me and the others in the death exam
3:40:13with nothing but envy and jealousy. Even
3:40:16though the risk might be enormous, such
3:40:18a clear chance to defy fate and change
3:40:20one's destiny was right before their
3:40:22eyes. Many among the exam slaves were
3:40:24willing to stake their lives and gamble.
3:40:26After all, this was not just a bit of
3:40:28food or an item. It was a real
3:40:30opportunity to awaken a sequence. Damn
3:40:32it. If Lin Emo passes the death exam,
3:40:35gets that reward, and becomes a
3:40:37superhum. Mad Dog's expression turned
3:40:39extremely ugly. These pieces of trash
3:40:42really got lucky. Brother Wu cursed, his
3:40:44eyes full of jealousy. He only felt that
3:40:46giving such an opportunity to these exam
3:40:48slaves was a complete waste. If he
3:40:50obtained that wish, he would very likely
3:40:52take that step and advance into a
3:40:54sequence 8 powerhouse. By then, he would
3:40:57be the true decision maker of the entire
3:40:59team. That kid, Leno, made a good choice
3:41:01once again. Brother Wu took a deep
3:41:03breath. Mad Dog sneered. Let's<unk> wait
3:41:05until he successfully pleases the demon
3:41:07hound. Luchuan did not make any comment.
3:41:10Having once made a deal with a demon, he
3:41:11murmured inwardly. Since when are demons
3:41:14so generous? If the reward promised by
3:41:16this demon steward was real, then what
3:41:19level of difficulty would it be to
3:41:20please the demon hound? With this doubt
3:41:22in mind, he watched even more carefully
3:41:25inside the demon kitchen. After the
3:41:27demon steward finished explaining all
3:41:29the ingredient names and properties, one
3:41:31of the quicker-witted examinees, wearing
3:41:33a fawning smile all over his face,
3:41:35trotted over to the demon steward's
3:41:37side. He lowered his body by half and
3:41:39then lowered his voice. Steward. Sir,
3:41:42may I ask what Lord Viscount Edington's
3:41:44beloved dog likes to eat? Wong Chong and
3:41:47the others pricricked up their ears, but
3:41:49the demon steward revealed a proper
3:41:51smile. Lord Viscounts beloved dog
3:41:53usually eats everything. Those words
3:41:55were no different from saying nothing.
3:41:57The examinee was somewhat unwilling to
3:41:59give up and continued asking, "Is there
3:42:01nothing it especially prefers?" The
3:42:03demon steward's face instantly turned
3:42:05cold. "Mr. Chunu, do you not know our
3:42:08demon rules? If you want anything, you
3:42:10must pay the corresponding price. Here
3:42:12it comes. Wong Chong and the others felt
3:42:14their hearts tighten. Then what price
3:42:16must I pay to get this information? An
3:42:18arm or a leg? The questioning examinees
3:42:21face instantly turned pale. He looked at
3:42:23the others, but they all backed away. No
3:42:26one wanted to trade an arm or a leg for
3:42:28a piece of information whose truth was
3:42:30unknown. I watched all this, but in my
3:42:32heart, I was pondering something very
3:42:34important. In the simulation, this part
3:42:36had not appeared. Looking at everyone in
3:42:38the room, I suddenly realized that the
3:42:40examinee who tried to be clever and pry
3:42:42information from the demon steward had
3:42:44not appeared in the simulation. This
3:42:46person was one who had made the same
3:42:48choice as me after I made my choice. I
3:42:50pondered slightly. Was it because my
3:42:52choice time was different from in the
3:42:54simulation causing different people to
3:42:56enter here? Their behavior was different
3:42:58ultimately producing some new changes.
3:43:00When my thoughts reached this point, I
3:43:02already had a rough idea. If I strictly
3:43:04followed everything in the death exam
3:43:06simulation, then reality would proceed
3:43:08as everything had happened in the
3:43:10simulation. But if I caused some new
3:43:12changes before the death exam began,
3:43:14then a certain degree of change would
3:43:16also appear within the death exam. It
3:43:18seemed I could not be reckless just
3:43:19because I had found the optimal solution
3:43:21in the death exam simulation. Otherwise,
3:43:24if I capsized in a ditch at some point,
3:43:26it would not be good. I thought this to
3:43:28myself, for just a piece of information
3:43:30like that, he has to pay an arm or a
3:43:32leg. The watching exam slaves gasped,
3:43:34but someone immediately retorted. Do you
3:43:37understand information asymmetry?
3:43:38Besides, this exam question requires
3:43:40cooking delicious food to please the
3:43:42demon hound. If you can know the demon
3:43:44hounds preferences, the probability of
3:43:46passing the death exam alive will rise
3:43:49greatly, and you get a wish. How is that
3:43:51expensive? It's not expensive at all.
3:43:53It's too cheap. Some also opposed. If
3:43:55simply knowing what the demon hound
3:43:57likes to eat could solve it, then would
3:43:58all the chefs in the demon castle be
3:44:00useless? This information is not as
3:44:02valuable as you think. Meanwhile, Wong
3:44:05Chong and the others in the demon
3:44:07kitchen were holding a meeting. What
3:44:08should we do? Should we pay an arm or a
3:44:10leg to exchange for this information?
3:44:13Who pays? I'm not paying anyway. How
3:44:15about drawing lots? Whoever wants to
3:44:17draw can draw. I'm not drawing anyway.
3:44:20Others stepped forward too, each waiting
3:44:22for someone else to pay the price while
3:44:23they got it for free. Anyway, there was
3:44:26only one kitchen. By then, they could
3:44:28see clearly what ingredients the person
3:44:29who paid the price used. Lynmo, what do
3:44:32you think? Finally, someone noticed that
3:44:34I had not come over at all. I said
3:44:36indifferently. I'm not participating.
3:44:38Tsk, what are you pretending for as if
3:44:40you've already got victory in hand? Wong
3:44:42Chong snorted inwardly, but he did not
3:44:44express it. After all, I had killed a
3:44:47thug with a single dagger strike just
3:44:48last night. He did not dare stand there
3:44:50and provoke me. Otherwise, if I really
3:44:53got out alive, he would suffer greatly.
3:44:55I also did not intend to waste time
3:44:56here. Time was tight and the task was
3:44:59heavy. After all, this cooking session
3:45:01had a time limit. Although it was not
3:45:03stated explicitly, this Count Edington
3:45:05and his beloved dog were waiting in the
3:45:07great hall of the demon castle. How
3:45:09could they possibly give us examinees
3:45:11all the time in the world to squander?
3:45:13Seeing me walk toward the ingredients,
3:45:15Wong Chong and the others, still
3:45:17arguing, immediately stopped. They
3:45:19lowered their voices. Could he have
3:45:21found a way to solve the question? Very
3:45:23likely. From the moment he gave up
3:45:24option B and chose C, I felt he probably
3:45:27saw something that he had some counter
3:45:29measure. Watch closely. Don't miss a
3:45:31single step. If it works, we'll copy it
3:45:33immediately. That's better than us
3:45:35messing around blindly here. The demon
3:45:37steward looked at me, a bit of curiosity
3:45:39on his face. Mr. Lyno, are you about to
3:45:42start cooking? You are not going to buy
3:45:44my master's beloved dog's preferences
3:45:46from me. I shook my head. No need. I
3:45:49have my own idea. truly arrogant. Mad
3:45:51dog watching from the exam venue
3:45:53sneered. Lu crossed her arms and
3:45:55murmured inwardly. Could he really have
3:45:57found some way to clear it? Everyone
3:45:59watched with baited breath. I threw
3:46:01those dark ingredients that looked
3:46:02obviously ominous into a pot, then
3:46:05placed it over blue flames, added water,
3:46:07and stewed them. Each ingredient was
3:46:09cooked separately without even any
3:46:11seasoning. Wong Chong and the others
3:46:14looked completely baffled. What was I
3:46:15doing? They had not seen any cooking
3:46:17skill or technique at all, let alone
3:46:20anything like cooking with love. The
3:46:22demon steward curiously said to me as I
3:46:24carefully threw ingredients into the pot
3:46:26and immediately covered it. Mr. Lynn, is
3:46:29this how you cook these ingredients? I
3:46:31nodded. Yes. The demon steward thought
3:46:33for a moment, then smiled. Let me give
3:46:36you a free piece of news. Even dishes
3:46:38cooked by five-star demon chefs in hell
3:46:40did not make my master's beloved dog eat
3:46:42more than a few bites. This method of
3:46:44yours, completely preserving the
3:46:46original flavor, might work in some
3:46:48human region that loves white cut
3:46:50chicken, but pleasing my master's
3:46:51beloved dog will likely be very
3:46:53difficult. This reminder was not out of
3:46:55any goodwill. It was entirely because if
3:46:57it was served and immediately
3:46:59eliminated, it would be somewhat boring.
3:47:01I smiled. That's how it'll be. The demon
3:47:04steward said no more. Wong Chong and the
3:47:06others looked at me stewing dark
3:47:08ingredients in clear water and could not
3:47:10help exchanging glances. Should we
3:47:12follow and learn? Didn't you hear? Even
3:47:14dishes cooked by five-star chefs were
3:47:16looked down on by that demon hound. If
3:47:18it feels pleasure from just boiling like
3:47:20this, then hell has frozen over. Then
3:47:22what exactly is Lin Mo doing? You ask
3:47:24me, who do I ask? One person came
3:47:27closer. Lynn, brother Lynn, are you sure
3:47:29it's okay to cook the food like this? I
3:47:32looked at him indifferently. What's the
3:47:33problem? Meeting my gaze directly, the
3:47:36examinee subconsciously lowered his head
3:47:38and looked away. I just wanted to ask
3:47:40you what's the reason for doing it this
3:47:42way. I said indifferently. Do I owe you
3:47:45people anything? Do I need to explain to
3:47:46you? Among the several examinees, one
3:47:49could not help but stand out and say,
3:47:51"We're all exam slaves here for the
3:47:52death exam." Anyway, there isn't just
3:47:55one reward. What difference does it make
3:47:57if you tell us the reason? Or do you
3:47:58want to pass the death exam alone?
3:48:00That's too selfish, isn't it? I looked
3:48:02at the examinee who had stepped forward.
3:48:04Facing my cold gaze, the courage he had
3:48:06just summoned vanished completely. He
3:48:08hurriedly stepped back, putting the
3:48:10others in front of him as shields, I
3:48:12said indifferently, trying to guilt trip
3:48:15me with morality. But I'm not a very
3:48:17moral person. If there is a next time, I
3:48:19won't be so polite. Could you really
3:48:21dare kill us here? The steward would not
3:48:23allow it. Thinking that if he could
3:48:24survive this round of the death exam, he
3:48:26could obtain a wish, awaken a sequence,
3:48:29and no longer need to fear me. If he
3:48:31could not pass, he would die here
3:48:33anyway, the examinee spoke with a stiff
3:48:35neck. I smiled and looked at the demon
3:48:37steward. Mr. Stewart, what happens if
3:48:40someone kills here? The demon steward's
3:48:42lips curled slightly. Nothing much. You
3:48:44can even use the corpse after killing
3:48:46for cooking. After all, human flesh in
3:48:48hell is a top grade ingredient. As soon
3:48:51as these words came out, the examinee,
3:48:53who had still been stiff necked, turned
3:48:55deathly pale. People can be killed here.
3:48:57But when Wong Chong and the others heard
3:48:59the information in the demon steward's
3:49:01words, their eyes immediately burst with
3:49:03light. Humans were top grade ingredients
3:49:05in hell. At this moment, Wong Chong and
3:49:08the others silently moved away from each
3:49:10other. It was not only because I was
3:49:12looking at the examinee hiding behind
3:49:14them. When the examinee saw that I was
3:49:16still looking at him, his face instantly
3:49:18turned pale, thinking that I now had
3:49:20three times the physique of a normal
3:49:22healthy adult and that last night I had
3:49:24casually killed a thug with one strike.
3:49:26His face became even more frighteningly
3:49:28white and his legs trembled
3:49:30uncontrollably. The instinct to survive
3:49:32made his brain work faster than ever
3:49:34before. Brother Lynn, I spoke a little
3:49:36loudly just now. After coming here, I
3:49:39was too scared and spoke without
3:49:40thinking. Please be magnanimous and let
3:49:43me off this once. I beg you. Watching
3:49:45the examinee suddenly drop to his knees
3:49:47with a thud, my eyelid twitched.
3:49:49Actually, I had not planned to kill
3:49:51anyone. What I wanted to do was
3:49:53establish authority. If I killed
3:49:55randomly, not only would it fail to
3:49:57establish authority, it would only make
3:49:59everyone subconsciously regard me as a
3:50:01dangerous source that needed to be
3:50:02eliminated. Get lost. Hearing my
3:50:05command, the examinee did not dare
3:50:07disobey and hurriedly stood up. Only
3:50:09after seeing that I no longer paid
3:50:11attention to him and was focused on the
3:50:13ingredients stewing over the flames did
3:50:15he feel relieved. At that moment, he
3:50:17realized his back was completely soaked.
3:50:19A trace of boredom flashed across the
3:50:21demon's steward's expectant face. He had
3:50:24originally wanted to see something
3:50:25exciting, but this Mr. Lynmo, who had
3:50:28received an angel's blessing, was truly
3:50:30a bit boring. However, he believed this
3:50:32show would still go on. His gaze
3:50:34meaningfully swept over Wong Chong and
3:50:36the other three examinees. Is the
3:50:38handsome young Lin Emo the type who
3:50:40responds to softness but not hardness?
3:50:42Lu watching the projection with her arms
3:50:45crossed, murmured inwardly. He was not
3:50:47unlikable at least. Can food cooked like
3:50:50this really make that anorexic demon
3:50:51hound feel pleasure? Ingu, sitting
3:50:54before the exam table, had doubt in a
3:50:56pair of indifferent bright eyes under
3:50:58her cloak. There were not a few people
3:50:59who thought the same. Time slowly
3:51:01passed. When they saw me open the first
3:51:03stewed ghost-faced pumpkin and begin
3:51:06eating it heartily, Wong Chong and the
3:51:08others who had been watching me to
3:51:09reference my method widened their eyes.
3:51:12What is he doing? He's actually eating
3:51:14the ingredients meant for cooking for
3:51:15the demon hound. Is he not afraid the
3:51:17demon steward will kill him? Huh? Wait,
3:51:20these ingredients seem to be
3:51:21supernatural ingredients, right? They
3:51:23contain surging supernatural energy. If
3:51:26one absorbs some, even without awakening
3:51:28a sequence, one's physique will probably
3:51:30improve greatly. After a brief shock,
3:51:33Wong Chong and the others revealed
3:51:35fanaticism in their eyes. But they did
3:51:37not act rashly, afraid that the demon
3:51:39steward would kill them for dereliction
3:51:41of duty and eating precious dark
3:51:42ingredients. The demon steward narrowed
3:51:45his eyes at me, who seemed a bit pressed
3:51:47for time, and said with a smile, "Mr.
3:51:49Lynn, what are you doing?" I said,
3:51:51cooking delicious food for Lord
3:51:53Viscounts beloved dog. The demon steward
3:51:55watched me completely serious. As after
3:51:58speaking, I began stuffing the
3:51:59ghost-faced pumpkin, which gave off the
3:52:01smell of dark cuisine, into my mouth,
3:52:04chewing carefully and swallowing. He
3:52:06pondered for a moment, "Mr. Lynn, but
3:52:09these ingredients have all gone into
3:52:10your stomach." I merely said
3:52:12indifferently. This is also part of the
3:52:14cooking. Part of the cooking. Although
3:52:16the demon steward did not understand, he
3:52:19smiled and said, "As you please. Anyway,
3:52:22you may use the ingredients in the
3:52:23kitchen freely. You can eat them
3:52:25yourself. As long as there is delicious
3:52:27food cooked by then to present to Lord
3:52:29Viscounts beloved dog." Hearing the
3:52:31demon steward say this, Wong Chong and
3:52:33the others were immediately moved. Never
3:52:35mind what he's cooking. Let's do the
3:52:37same as him. These are all supernatural
3:52:39ingredients. outside. Such good things
3:52:41would never fall into our mouths. This
3:52:44is a heaven-sent opportunity. Wong Chong
3:52:46and the other five immediately began
3:52:48moving in a fluster. Lynmo Lyno, so this
3:52:51was your plan, but these are ingredients
3:52:53from hell. As an ordinary person, can
3:52:55you digest them after eating? Mad Dog
3:52:58sneered as he watched me wolfing food
3:52:59down in the exam venue. Do you really
3:53:01think you've gained a huge advantage?
3:53:03These things are tainted with hell's
3:53:05demonic aura. They are not something
3:53:07ordinary people can enjoy. He's dead for
3:53:09sure, Mad Dog said. Luchuan, watching
3:53:12all this, frowned slightly. It was not
3:53:14strange that the other five, blinded by
3:53:16desire, also tried to eat these hell
3:53:19ingredients. But Lyn Mo had been calm
3:53:21from beginning to end. Could it be that
3:53:23he had not thought that even with three
3:53:25times the physique bonus? It would be
3:53:27hard to resist the demonic aura
3:53:28contamination in these supernatural
3:53:30ingredients. Thinking this, he thought
3:53:32of something and said, "Could it be the
3:53:34angel's blessing?" Lu beside him spoke
3:53:36thus. Luchuan looked at me, having
3:53:39already finished two pots of ingredients
3:53:41with no abnormality at all, and suddenly
3:53:43understood that kid really picked up a
3:53:45huge advantage. But the premise is that
3:53:47he can leave the death exam alive. Huh.
3:53:50One of the examinees, busy preparing
3:53:52ingredients like me and trying to eat
3:53:54half full first, suddenly let out a
3:53:56miserable scream. While handling the
3:53:58thousanded, thousand-legged centipede,
3:54:00one examinee was accidentally bitten.
3:54:02Under everyone's terrified gazes,
3:54:04strange black patterns grew all over his
3:54:07body. Then feet and eyes like those of
3:54:09the thousandeyed thousand-legged
3:54:11centipede grew from his body. Slowly, he
3:54:13became a large thousanded
3:54:15thousand-legged centipede rolling on the
3:54:18ground and even began trying to attack
3:54:20the other examinees. Fortunately, the
3:54:22demon steward acted in time and threw
3:54:25him into the blue flames where he was
3:54:27instantly burned to ashes. Wong Chong
3:54:29and the others felt a chill in their
3:54:31hearts. These ingredients were actually
3:54:33so terrifying. They became even more
3:54:35careful when handling them. They did not
3:54:37retreat in the slightest because of this
3:54:39accident. When the first faster
3:54:40examinee, the one who had initially
3:54:42tried to pry information from the demon
3:54:44steward, finished cooking, he
3:54:46immediately began devouring the
3:54:48ghostfaced pumpkin just like me. While
3:54:50eating, he did not forget to glance at
3:54:52me and snorted inwardly. Once I gain
3:54:54power through these supernatural
3:54:56ingredients, too, I'd like to see
3:54:58whether you'll still be this cold and
3:54:59arrogant, ignoring me. However, after
3:55:02only a few bites, he froze. "Something's
3:55:04wrong," he shouted. Wong Chong and the
3:55:06others, who had already cooked their
3:55:08first pot and were about to eat,
3:55:10immediately stopped when they saw him.
3:55:12He rolled on the ground, and black aura
3:55:14actually began to emerge from his body.
3:55:16"What's going on?" Wong Chong and the
3:55:19other two retreated in terror. "It's
3:55:21starting." Brother Wu watching revealed
3:55:23mockery and excitement on his face. "A
3:55:26bunch of greedy trash. Do you have an
3:55:28angel's blessing? You just stuff those
3:55:30supernatural foods into your mouths. If
3:55:32the hell aura isn't removed, even I
3:55:34wouldn't dare eat them. Yet you dare
3:55:36gorge like that. The demon steward
3:55:38watched that examinee with great
3:55:40interest. Mr. Steward, save me. The
3:55:42demon steward helplessly spread his
3:55:44hands. Sorry, sir. We do not offer that
3:55:47service here. I can pay the price. Any
3:55:50price. The demon steward shook his head.
3:55:52Foolish. If you die here, everything you
3:55:54have still belongs to our Lord Viscount.
3:55:57Feeling as if something inside him was
3:55:59about to burst out of his body. His face
3:56:01was full of despair. But he looked at me
3:56:03as if nothing had happened. Still eating
3:56:05the cooked hell ingredients. Lynn,
3:56:07brother Lynn, Lord Lynn, you can eat so
3:56:10much without anything happening. So you
3:56:12must have a way, right? Please save me.
3:56:14I'll do anything. I swept a glance over
3:56:16him indifferently. If you endure it, you
3:56:18live. If you can't, you die. No, no, no.
3:56:21You must have a way. Hearing my words,
3:56:23he fell into complete despair. Yet he
3:56:26was still unwilling to accept it. I
3:56:28didn't give him another glance. I kept
3:56:30eating, chewing, swallowing. I cherished
3:56:33every minute and every second and these
3:56:35hard one transcendent ingredients. I
3:56:37wanted to seize the chance to awaken a
3:56:39sequence that I had missed in the
3:56:40simulation. No, it's all your fault.
3:56:43Since I'm going to die, you won't get
3:56:44off easy either. Shu Jiun, writhing in
3:56:47pain on the ground, felt his sanity
3:56:50gradually slipping away before dying,
3:56:52looking at me still chewing slowly. His
3:56:54heart was filled with boundless hatred
3:56:56and venom. Why? Why? When he knew these
3:56:59transcendent ingredients contaminated by
3:57:01hellish aura would be unbearable for us
3:57:03to eat. Didn't he warn us at all? Right?
3:57:06He's the one who caused all this. He
3:57:08struggled to rise and lunged at me. The
3:57:10demon butler elegantly stepped aside.
3:57:13But the next moment, as he pounced
3:57:14toward me, his whole body flew backward
3:57:17and slammed heavily into the wall of the
3:57:19demon kitchen. Boom! I calmly withdrew
3:57:22my foot and continued devouring the
3:57:24demon ingredients. Wong Chong and the
3:57:26others watched Chun Jiun gradually
3:57:28twist, his flesh melting like black mud,
3:57:31his human shape becoming unrecognizable.
3:57:33They dropped the hell ingredients they
3:57:35were holding in terror. Only then did
3:57:37they remember that never mind
3:57:38transcendent ingredients tainted by evil
3:57:41aura, even harmless transcendent
3:57:43ingredients would make their bodies
3:57:44explode and kill them if they ingested
3:57:47too much at once. Damn it. They
3:57:49retreated in horror, staring at the
3:57:51boiling transcendent ingredients in the
3:57:53pot as if at leared
3:57:56to entertain any other ideas. They
3:57:59watched quietly as I ate all the cooked
3:58:01hell ingredients, then continued cooking
3:58:03and eating until I could eat no more.
3:58:05They knew that what I was doing was
3:58:07something they could not replicate at
3:58:08all. Damn it. If we'd acted faster just
3:58:11now, we'd be the ones dead. Wong Chong
3:58:13and the others looked at each other,
3:58:15faces full of fear. Their gazes toward
3:58:17me became even more vicious. That man
3:58:19clearly knew they could not withstand it
3:58:21the way he could. Yet, he had not warned
3:58:23them at all. This was already a
3:58:25deathworthy offense. Seeing that I truly
3:58:27could not eat anymore, I began to walk
3:58:29around and digest. They were furious,
3:58:32but there was nothing they could do to
3:58:33me. But the death exam continued. The
3:58:35demon butler was already urging them to
3:58:37start cooking. Looking at these bizarre
3:58:39ingredients, even though they felt
3:58:41completely helpless, they could only
3:58:43grit their teeth and start cooking
3:58:44randomly. Even if you gain power by
3:58:47eating these transcendent ingredients,
3:58:49if you could not pass the death exam,
3:58:51you would still die. Wong Chong glanced
3:58:53at me and kept sprinkling into the soup
3:58:55pot seasonings made from hunuatt. Unable
3:58:57to even taste it, they could only pray
3:58:59for a miracle. But a thought kept
3:59:01flashing through Wong Chongs mind. Human
3:59:03bodies were top grade ingredients in
3:59:05hell. He glanced at me, then immediately
3:59:07abandoned the thought. Then he secretly
3:59:09glanced at the other two surviving
3:59:11teammates, only to find that their gazes
3:59:13were also directed at him and at each
3:59:15other. Their eyes met. Wong Chong and
3:59:17the other two all revealed somewhat
3:59:19stiff smiles. Come on, we<unk>ll
3:59:21definitely survive. Yes, as long as I
3:59:24pour love into the ingredients, Lord
3:59:26Demon Hound will surely feel it. The
3:59:28three comforted themselves this way.
3:59:30Time passed slowly. Just as the three
3:59:32were staring at the pot of food, giving
3:59:34off terrifying aura and rolling with
3:59:36five colors, doubting life itself, they
3:59:38saw me suddenly stop pacing and close my
3:59:41eyes gravely. Around me, a kind of aura
3:59:43that could only be sensed on
3:59:45transcendent beings seemed about to
3:59:46surge out. Wong Chong and the others
3:59:48widened their eyes. The demon butler
3:59:51narrowed his. Lu Chuan, Brother Wu, Lu
3:59:54Yu, Ingu, Mad Dog, and all the exam
3:59:56slaves watching instantly held their
3:59:58breath and stared fixedly at me as
4:00:00transcendent power rippled around my
4:00:02body. This was a sign of awakening a
4:00:04sequence. Damn it. Cold sweat seeped
4:00:07from Mad Dog's forehead. His fists
4:00:09clenched. Impossible. Absolutely
4:00:11impossible. In the death exam, I went
4:00:14through nine deaths and one life before
4:00:16barely awakening a sequence and becoming
4:00:18a transcendent. How could he awaken a
4:00:20sequence just by eating some
4:00:21transcendent ingredients? This This
4:00:24isn't fair. However, under everyone's
4:00:26tense gaze, the transcendent power that
4:00:29seemed about to burst out of my body
4:00:31suddenly dissipated. Did it fail? The
4:00:33demon butler shook his head with some
4:00:35regret. Wong Chong and the other two
4:00:37examinees let out a long breath. Luan
4:00:40watching shook his head. Awakening as a
4:00:43transcendent is never that easy. Brother
4:00:45Wu grinned. This kid still lacks a bit
4:00:47of luck. Mad Dog's face was full of
4:00:49delight. He almost laughed aloud. Lyno,
4:00:52oh Lyno, did you really think your luck
4:00:54would always hold? Now you'd better
4:00:56think about how to pass the death exam.
4:00:58After failing to awaken the sequence, I
4:01:00knew the opportunity had passed and
4:01:02opened my eyes. Although I felt faint
4:01:04regret, I was not excessively
4:01:06disappointed. Although the awakening
4:01:08failed, I could sense that the sequence
4:01:10hidden within my body, not yet awakened,
4:01:12was extremely powerful. stimulation from
4:01:15transcendent ingredients of only this
4:01:17quality was still not enough to fully
4:01:19awaken it. There was no time to think.
4:01:22Feeling a cramp in my abdomen, I quickly
4:01:24told the demon butler, "Butler, I would
4:01:26like to borrow your castle's restroom."
4:01:28The demon butler smiled and nodded. As
4:01:31if expecting this, he snapped his
4:01:32fingers and had me follow the large
4:01:34eyeball with black wings. When he saw me
4:01:36take a large snow white dinner plate,
4:01:38the demon butler was stunned. Wong Chong
4:01:41and the others were also puzzled. Going
4:01:43to the toilet is going to the toilet.
4:01:44Why bring such a large dinner plate?
4:01:46Could it be that I was going to secretly
4:01:48eat in the demon castle's restroom? Luan
4:01:51and the others watching suddenly
4:01:52realized something. Slowly, he said. He
4:01:55said he was cooking a dish, right? Lu's
4:01:57eye corner beneath her sunglasses
4:01:59twitched. She nodded. Yes. In that case,
4:02:02it seems he is not merely trying to
4:02:04absorb the transcendent energy contained
4:02:06in those hellish transcendent
4:02:08ingredients. No way, right? Brother Wu
4:02:10opened his mouth looking at me who took
4:02:12the cold ruthless route and felt a huge
4:02:15absurdity wash over him. The exam slaves
4:02:18looked at each other. Wong Chong and the
4:02:20others still cooking also realized
4:02:22something. A dog can't change its habit
4:02:24of eating Wong Chong muttered.
4:02:26When they saw me return from the toilet
4:02:28carrying the delicacy I had cooked,
4:02:30everyone in the kitchen and all those
4:02:32watching the death exam fell dead
4:02:34silent. No way, bro. Are you serious?
4:02:36After coming back to their senses, the
4:02:38audience erupted. Holy crap. Are you
4:02:40throwing away your character design? You
4:02:42dare bring it out? And I don't even dare
4:02:44look. It's still steaming. How bad must
4:02:46it smell? Viscount Edington is at least
4:02:49a demon noble. His dog has probably
4:02:51always enjoyed the best treatment. If
4:02:53you suddenly serve this, won't Viscount
4:02:55Edington slap you to death? Crazy,
4:02:57crazy. Even this kind of wicked method
4:02:59dares to be used. The exam slays
4:03:02watching exploded into discussion. But
4:03:04Lu Chuan, the strongest transcendent,
4:03:06murmured, "Maybe it really has some
4:03:09feasibility." Lu<unk>s expression
4:03:11stiffened. She had not expected me to
4:03:12have this waiting. In the demon kitchen,
4:03:15the butler looked at me returning with
4:03:16the filth, and the muscles on his face
4:03:18twitched uncontrollably. After covering
4:03:21his mouth and nose with a handkerchief,
4:03:22he said with a somewhat ugly expression,
4:03:25"Mr. Lynmo, is this the delicious dish
4:03:27you cooked for Lord Viscounts beloved
4:03:29dog?" I remained calm. Yes, this is the
4:03:32delicacy I carefully prepared. I believe
4:03:35Lord Viscounts beloved dog will like it.
4:03:37The demon butler's old face wrinkled
4:03:39like a chrysanthemum. He spoke with some
4:03:41difficulty. Whether the master's beloved
4:03:43dog will like it, I do not know, but the
4:03:46master will likely be very angry. It's
4:03:48fine. He can be angry. The demon hound
4:03:51can eat its own. I returned to the prep
4:03:53area. I found a polished, gleaming
4:03:55serving cover and covered the plate
4:03:57tightly, leaving no aroma leaking out. I
4:04:00even deliberately arranged the plating.
4:04:02Even though the demon butler had
4:04:03weathered countless storms, at this
4:04:05moment his scalp tingled, "Still plating
4:04:08it?" Truly dignified. "Mr. Lyno, have
4:04:10you thought this through?" "I have."
4:04:12There was not the slightest hesitation.
4:04:14The demon butler thought of what was
4:04:16inside the plate and felt a headache,
4:04:18but whether it would work was not for
4:04:19him to judge. Since you are ready, let
4:04:21us go present this delicacy to Lord
4:04:23Viscount's beloved dog. The demon butler
4:04:26made a gesture of invitation, but I
4:04:28waved my hand and refused. Not yet. What
4:04:31did that mean? The demon butler frowned.
4:04:33Could Mr. Lynn and Mob be toying with
4:04:35him? I, however, went to put water in
4:04:37the pot again and threw the same
4:04:39ingredients in to cook. I did not forget
4:04:41to add, "This portion is not enough."
4:04:44The demon kitchen fell silent. Outside
4:04:46the exam, Brother Wu, Mad Dog, and the
4:04:49others immediately understood what I
4:04:51wanted to do. this kid is
4:04:52insatiably greedy. He's going to eat
4:04:55another round. Brother will wanted to
4:04:56curse. He estimated that the
4:04:58transcendent energy contained in the
4:05:00hell ingredients I had just eaten after
4:05:02washing through my body had at least
4:05:04doubled my physique on top of the
4:05:06angel's blessing. In other words, my
4:05:08current body strength was already more
4:05:10than six times that of an ordinary
4:05:12healthy adult male. Body strength was
4:05:14not a simple matter of 1 + 1 equals 2.
4:05:17The further one went, the more any
4:05:19improvement brought qualitative change.
4:05:21Now, even if I failed to awaken a
4:05:23sequence with just that terrifying body,
4:05:26if Mad Dog, the weakest of them, were to
4:05:28risk his life against me, Mad Dog would
4:05:30probably have to pay with half his life
4:05:32to kill me. Brother Wu<unk>s gaze fell
4:05:34on Mad Dog. Mad Dog's expression was
4:05:36extremely ugly. Damn, damn. Damn. If he
4:05:39continued using these transcendent
4:05:41ingredients to strengthen his body, he
4:05:43paused, then gritted his teeth. What
4:05:45dish is this demon butler serving? Is he
4:05:48just going to watch Lynn Emmo, a mere
4:05:50exam slave, enjoy these precious
4:05:52transcendent ingredients to his heart's
4:05:54content? The exam slaves were also
4:05:56stunned. You could play it like this.
4:05:58The demon butler looked at me, also
4:06:00shocked by the greed this human
4:06:02displayed. Mr. Lyno, are you serious? I
4:06:05am very serious. I believe Lord
4:06:07Viscounts beloved dog must also be a
4:06:09transcendent life form. With only this
4:06:11portion, even if it can make Lord
4:06:13Viscount's beloved dog feel heartfelt
4:06:15delight, it should still not be full. I
4:06:17need to make more. The reason was
4:06:19impeccable. The demon butler glanced at
4:06:21the time and nodded. Very well, but do
4:06:24not keep Lord Viscount waiting too long.
4:06:26Be quick. Understood. I nodded. The
4:06:29demon butler's gaze fell on Wong Chong
4:06:31and the other two. His expression
4:06:33immediately lost the gentleness he had
4:06:35shown me, and he said coldly, "Mr. Wong
4:06:37Chong, you three, since you have
4:06:39finished cooking, come with me to
4:06:41present this delicacy. Wait, Wong Chong
4:06:44immediately called out, looking at the
4:06:45dark cuisine stewed from all kinds of
4:06:47ingredients and seasonings thrown in
4:06:49randomly. Cold sweat broke out on his
4:06:52forehead. Although he did not know what
4:06:53flavor the demon hound liked, his
4:06:55intuition told him that if this pot of
4:06:57stuff was served, he would die today.
4:06:59But we cannot eat these hell
4:07:01ingredients, so we cannot cook that kind
4:07:03of delicacy like Lino. What can we use
4:07:05to please the demon hound? What to do?
4:07:07What to do? What to do? If we serve
4:07:09something like this, probably the moment
4:07:11the lid is open will be our death. I
4:07:13have not yet awakened a sequence and
4:07:15become a transcendent. I cannot die just
4:07:17like this. The three paced back and
4:07:19forth frantically between life and
4:07:21death. There is great terror. Under this
4:07:23desperate situation, their minds turned
4:07:25faster than ever. At that moment, under
4:07:28the immense pressure of life and death,
4:07:30one examinee suddenly had an
4:07:32inspiration. Wait, I've got it. Wong
4:07:34Chong and the other one immediately
4:07:36looked at him. What did you get? Speak
4:07:38quickly, the examinee said urgently.
4:07:41Although we cannot eat these hell
4:07:42ingredients like Linmo, we can do this.
4:07:45Wong Chong and the other immediately
4:07:47brightened. Even the demon butler was
4:07:49somewhat surprised. He had not expected
4:07:51even a nameless nobody to have such
4:07:53astonishing thoughts. Interesting. Truly
4:07:55interesting. The demon butler stopped
4:07:57urging them. Wong Chong and the others
4:07:59hurriedly imitated me, took plates, and
4:08:02under the lead of the large eyeball with
4:08:04black wings, headed to the demon
4:08:06castle's restroom. The transcendence and
4:08:08exam slaves watching this death exam
4:08:10outside had already frowned into deep
4:08:12lines. This was a death exam with a
4:08:14massive smell, but no one in the scene
4:08:16mocked. Because although my method
4:08:18seemed absurd, when seriously
4:08:20considered, it really had some sense.
4:08:22Compared to randomly boiling those hell
4:08:24ingredients and serving them to gamble
4:08:26with their lives, this looked much more
4:08:28reliable. You cannot judge a person by
4:08:30appearance. Luan smiled and shook his
4:08:33head. Lu, the great beauty among the
4:08:35transcendents, kept a straight face and
4:08:38said nothing. Although she herself was
4:08:40somewhat optimistic about me, this was
4:08:42not the method she wanted to see used to
4:08:44pass the death exam. It was too
4:08:45disgusting. Lyno, Lyno. Mad Dog clenched
4:08:49his fists, watching me, who had finished
4:08:51cooking the ingredients and once again
4:08:53began wolfing them down, and the killing
4:08:55intent in his eyes reached an
4:08:57unprecedented intensity. If I did not
4:08:59die in this round of the death exam and
4:09:01came out alive, I would have the
4:09:02strength to bite a piece of flesh from
4:09:04him. His plan to quietly kill me after
4:09:06going to the town more than 10 km away
4:09:09probably would not work. Did he have to
4:09:10find another way? No. My current growth
4:09:13speed was too fast. As long as I came
4:09:15out alive, he had to kill me as soon as
4:09:17possible. Otherwise, there would only be
4:09:19more and more variables. Brother Wu
4:09:21looked at me freely, squandering and
4:09:23enjoying those transcendent ingredients,
4:09:25his eyes full of envy and jealousy. But
4:09:28he patted Mad Dog's shoulder. You really
4:09:30don't need to make things so stiff with
4:09:32Lyno. When he comes out, just give him
4:09:34some gifts and apologize, and this will
4:09:36pass. You are all from the same batch of
4:09:38exam slaves who have survived until now.
4:09:40Mad Dog directly slapped his hand away.
4:09:43I apologized to him. Mad Dog's gaze was
4:09:46ferocious. You want me, a transcendent,
4:09:48to apologize to a lowly exam slave?
4:09:51Absolutely impossible. Brother Wu looked
4:09:53at the furious Mad Dog and stopped
4:09:55persuading him. In the demon kitchen,
4:09:57not long after, Wong Chong and the other
4:09:59two returned, but their expressions were
4:10:01not right. Wong Chong looked at the heap
4:10:03of steaming mosaic in the plate, then
4:10:05glanced at the other two, completely
4:10:08ignoring the stench assaulting his nose.
4:10:10He gritted his teeth. No, this portion
4:10:13is too little. Too little. He was
4:10:15somewhat better. After all, yesterday,
4:10:17because he passed the death exam, he got
4:10:19a beef can and exchanged it for some
4:10:21staple food. So, he had eaten a full
4:10:23meal. But the other two clearly had far
4:10:25less than him. Most had empty stomachs
4:10:27and could not squeeze out much, even if
4:10:29they searched their guts. Wong Chong,
4:10:31you have more. Share some with us. One
4:10:34examinee suddenly spoke. The atmosphere
4:10:36in the demon kitchen instantly became
4:10:38murderous. Wong Chong looked at the
4:10:40other two who were staring at him
4:10:42unkindly and his face instantly turned
4:10:44cold. I might not even have enough for
4:10:46myself. How could I have extra to share
4:10:48with you? But ours is too little. Too
4:10:50little? That's your own problem. Look
4:10:52for the reason in yourself. Don't always
4:10:54blame others. Wong Chong mocked. Are you
4:10:56going to give it or not? The two
4:10:58examinees put down their plates and
4:11:00picked up their weapons, walking toward
4:11:02Wong Chong. The demon butler<unk>s eyes
4:11:04showed excitement and he murmured
4:11:06inwardly. Is it about to begin? Although
4:11:08the fuse of this fight was somewhat
4:11:10different from what he had originally
4:11:11imagined, it did not matter. Humans
4:11:13killing each other, such a good show was
4:11:15enjoyable no matter how one watched it.
4:11:18After thinking for a moment, he decided
4:11:20to record it so that Lord Viscount could
4:11:22enjoy it later. "What are you doing?"
4:11:24Wong Chong asked. "Hand over your
4:11:26ingredients," one examinee said coldly.
4:11:28"Let go of me." Watching the three
4:11:30tangled together, I who was still eating
4:11:33felt a huge absurdity wash over me. And
4:11:36I was not the only one who felt this
4:11:37way. The transcendence and exam slaves
4:11:39outside watching the death exam also
4:11:41twitched their mouths. But rarely did
4:11:43anyone mock them because they knew that
4:11:45what Wong Chong and the others were
4:11:47fighting over was not that filth at all,
4:11:49but the qualification to live. If they
4:11:51were in Wong Chong and the others
4:11:53position, they would also make the same
4:11:55choice without hesitation. As long as
4:11:57they could survive, no matter the price,
4:11:59the behavior, the things abandoned, even
4:12:01if it meant no longer being human, it
4:12:04was all worth it. I don't think it's
4:12:05necessarily only this filth that can
4:12:07please the demon hound. Brother Wu
4:12:09suddenly said, "Is there another way?"
4:12:11Mad Dog was puzzled. Brother Wu grinned,
4:12:14revealing a cruel smile. "Didn't that
4:12:16demon butler say that human bodies are
4:12:18top grade ingredients in hell?" Everyone
4:12:20who realized this felt a cold breath
4:12:22drawn in their hearts. Among the two
4:12:24fighting Wong Chong, the one who
4:12:26attacked first suddenly let out a
4:12:28miserable scream. "Huh?" The other
4:12:30examinee, who still wanted to snatch
4:12:32Wong Chong<unk>s ingredients, was
4:12:34startled. Looking at his teammate, whose
4:12:36heart was spurting blood wildly, he
4:12:38retreated in terror. But Wong
4:12:40Chong<unk>s eyes were bloodshot, his
4:12:41face ferocious. In his hand was a
4:12:43bloodstained short knife, and he grinned
4:12:45hideously at the two. "You want to cut
4:12:47off my way of life? Then I'll kill you
4:12:49first. Come on." He roared at the other
4:12:52intact examinee. The examinee was
4:12:54intimidated by him and did not dare
4:12:56approach easily. The examinee who had
4:12:58been stabbed in the vital heart had
4:13:00already knelt on the ground. Along with
4:13:02the bleeding, his face visibly turned
4:13:04pale. He did not, like those tough men
4:13:06in movies, stand up and keep cutting
4:13:08through all enemies after dozens of
4:13:10stabs. As if all his strength had been
4:13:12drained, he lay on the ground, hands
4:13:14stretched forward as if trying to grasp
4:13:16something. His mouth kept trembling as
4:13:19if he wanted to cry for help, but not a
4:13:21single word came out. Watching this
4:13:23bloody scene, the demon butler's
4:13:25elegance was mixed with a bit of playful
4:13:27excitement. This was what he wanted to
4:13:28see. I merely continued eating the hell
4:13:31ingredients indifferently. No emotion in
4:13:33my eyes. In the death exam, examinees
4:13:36drawing knives on each other to survive
4:13:38was never rare. On the contrary, being
4:13:40able to unite and overcome difficulties
4:13:42together was truly rare. Seeing Wong
4:13:45Chong, who seemed to have killed until
4:13:47his eyes were red, walking toward him,
4:13:49the examinee, who had been greedily
4:13:51trying to snatch Wong Chong<unk>s
4:13:52ingredients, retreated in terror. Soon
4:13:54he had nowhere to retreat. He said in
4:13:56terror, "Wong, brother Wong, I was
4:13:59wrong. Just now I was blinded by greed.
4:14:01Please, for the sake of your great
4:14:03magnanmity, let me off this once. I
4:14:05won't dare again. You still want it next
4:14:07time?" Wong Chong<unk>s face was
4:14:09ferocious. The examinee looked at Wong
4:14:11Chong, who was raising his knife and
4:14:13coming at him like a mad man, and his
4:14:15mind raced. Wait, Brother Chong, Brother
4:14:18Chong, we don't necessarily have to use
4:14:20that kind of thing to please the demon
4:14:21hound. Butler said it right. Human flesh
4:14:24is the top grade ingredient in hell.
4:14:26Maybe Linn Mo<unk>s idea was wrong from
4:14:28the start. If we present such filthy
4:14:30stuff to a noble demon's beloved dog,
4:14:32even if the dog really eats happily,
4:14:34will Lord Viscount let us go? The great
4:14:37terror between life and death made the
4:14:39examinees thoughts unprecedentedly
4:14:41sharp. Listening to his somewhat
4:14:43reasonable words. The madness in Wong
4:14:45Chongs eyes faded a little and gradually
4:14:47became clearer. What the other said
4:14:49seemed to make sense. Seeing his
4:14:51movement slow, the examinee let out a
4:14:53long breath and quickly pressed the
4:14:55advantage. Pointing at the examinee
4:14:57lying on the ground, already more out
4:14:59than in. He's dead. His corpse is enough
4:15:02for the two of us. As long as we split
4:15:04his corpse in half and present it to
4:15:05Lord Demon Viscount's beloved dog and it
4:15:08eats happily, we can both live. I ate
4:15:10the hell ingredients while watching this
4:15:12farce. At the examinees line of thought,
4:15:14I expressed approval. But unfortunately,
4:15:17humans are top grade ingredients in
4:15:19hell. That had been impossible from the
4:15:20start. Unable to make the demon hound
4:15:22feel truly pleased. Fine, you have a
4:15:25point. Wong Chong took a deep breath and
4:15:27put down the bloodstained short knife.
4:15:29The examinee let out a long sigh of
4:15:31relief. Yes. Yes, brother Chong. We'll
4:15:34split his corpse together. That'll be
4:15:36enough to pass the death exam and get
4:15:38that one wish. By then, we'll both be
4:15:40transcendents. After we go back, if we
4:15:42join forces, even ordinary transcendents
4:15:45in the team won't dare provoke us
4:15:46easily. We'll be the first to enjoy the
4:15:49delicious food, the first to pick the
4:15:51resources the exam slaves bring out of
4:15:53the death exam, and all the beauties in
4:15:55the team. We can enjoy them however we
4:15:57want, sleep with whoever we want.
4:15:59Hearing this examinees words, I paused
4:16:01slightly. Was this something that could
4:16:03be said here? Had this man forgotten
4:16:05that in the death exam, apart from some
4:16:07content that must be censored and cannot
4:16:09be seen or heard outside, everything
4:16:11else is livereamed. Among the team's
4:16:13transcendence, two were women. Sleep
4:16:15with whoever we want. Watching Lu Yu in
4:16:17the death exam room, her cold face wore
4:16:20a sneer. Brother Wu and the others
4:16:22exchanged a glance. They knew this
4:16:24brainless fool. Even if he luckily
4:16:26passed the death exam and came back
4:16:27alive, he probably wouldn't live to see
4:16:30tomorrow's son. Anyone who could stand
4:16:32firm in the team, man or woman, was no
4:16:34pushover. Anyone who had survived in the
4:16:37apocalypse to this point had blood on
4:16:38their hands. Brother Chong, let's work
4:16:41together and split this kid's corpse
4:16:43half each. Then we'll send it to please
4:16:45the demon hound and get that one wish.
4:16:47Seeing that Wong Chong had been
4:16:49completely convinced by him, the
4:16:50examinee let out a long breath. He had
4:16:53been starving for days and had lost his
4:16:55helper. If it really came to a fight
4:16:57with Wong Chong, he might not be Wong
4:16:59Chongs match. A peaceful solution was
4:17:01best. But when he turned his back to
4:17:03Wong Chong to get the kitchen knife, he
4:17:04felt a sharp pain. He looked down and
4:17:07saw a familiar short knife had pierced
4:17:09through his heart, its tip protruding.
4:17:11Yuyu, blood gushed from his mouth. He
4:17:13turned his head with difficulty and
4:17:15looked at Wong Chong, whose face wore a
4:17:17ferocious grin. His eyes were full of
4:17:19disbelief. Wong Chong grinned
4:17:21ferociously. I'm afraid one isn't enough
4:17:23for the demon hound to eat. So, I'm
4:17:25borrowing your corpse. Don't worry, I'll
4:17:27live on well with your share of hope.
4:17:29Wonderful, wonderful. The demon butler
4:17:32clapped with admiration. After Wong
4:17:34Chong pulled out the knife and turned
4:17:35around, he did not immediately relax.
4:17:38Instead, he raised the knife and looked
4:17:40at me not far away and said coldly,
4:17:42"Lyno, if you also want to steal my
4:17:44corpse, then come try. You are very
4:17:47strong, but if we really fight to the
4:17:49death, it's not certain I can't bite a
4:17:51piece of meat off you. Watching this
4:17:52sudden change in the death exam room.
4:17:54This Wong Chong is a ruthless one.
4:17:57Brother Wui showed surprise. He admitted
4:17:59he had misjudged him a little. He just
4:18:01didn't know what I would do next. What
4:18:03can he do? The demon butler already said
4:18:05human corpses are top tier ingredients
4:18:07in hell. He's the strongest in the arena
4:18:09now. He has the right. What reason does
4:18:11he have not to snatch? Mad Dog sneered.
4:18:14Don't look at how this kid usually acts
4:18:16all high and mighty. He's no different
4:18:18from those lowly exam slaves. The
4:18:20mysterious girl Ingu sitting upright at
4:18:22the exam desk watched me in the exam
4:18:24room and murmured in her heart. How will
4:18:26you choose? I only glanced lightly at
4:18:29Wong Chong, who was tense all over,
4:18:31staring at me, afraid I might make a
4:18:33move. Then I continued eating the
4:18:35transcendent ingredients and said, "Go
4:18:37ahead. If you're worried I'll snatch
4:18:39your ingredients here, why not follow
4:18:41the butler and bring your dish to
4:18:43present to the Viscounts beloved dog.
4:18:45He's not planning to come fight me for
4:18:46it. Wong Chong<unk>s eyes were doubtful,
4:18:48but his vigilance did not lessen at all.
4:18:51Are you serious? Wong said, "I did not
4:18:54speak again and just kept eating the
4:18:55demon ingredients." After the first
4:18:57round of cleansing by the transcendent
4:18:59energy of demon ingredients, my physique
4:19:01had reached the level of six healthy
4:19:03adults and my digestion and absorption
4:19:05ability had greatly increased. Now I ate
4:19:08faster and more than at the beginning.
4:19:10How could I have time to waste with Wong
4:19:12Chong? The demon butler looked at me who
4:19:14had no intention of competing and
4:19:16elegantly said, "Mr. Lynn, these are top
4:19:18tier ingredients in hell. They might
4:19:20successfully please the viscounts
4:19:22beloved dog. Are you sure you don't want
4:19:24to compete for them?" I said calmly. I
4:19:26believe the dish I have cooked is
4:19:28already the most perfect. There is no
4:19:30need to guild the lily. The demon butler
4:19:32was somewhat helpless. All right. The
4:19:34demon butler looked at Wong Chong, who
4:19:36was still on guard, and smiled. "Mr.
4:19:39Wong Chong, please bring your dish and
4:19:41come with me to present it to the
4:19:42Viscounts beloved dog." Wong Chong got
4:19:44the food cart and moved the corpses onto
4:19:46it. But during the process, his gaze did
4:19:49not dare leave me for even half a
4:19:51moment, afraid I might suddenly rush
4:19:53over and stab him. However, when he
4:19:55followed the demon butler and dragged
4:19:57the two corpses out of the demon
4:19:58kitchen, I still made no move. He really
4:20:01isn't coming to fight me for these two
4:20:02corpses. Wong Chong was shocked. He
4:20:05found that from beginning to end, he
4:20:06completely could not understand what I
4:20:08was thinking. But soon, a sneer appeared
4:20:10on his face. He's noble and pure. How
4:20:13amazing. After I successfully pleased
4:20:15the demon hound, get the demon viscounts
4:20:18wish, and become a transcendent after I
4:20:20passed the death exam, will he still be
4:20:22as noble as now? Watching the door of
4:20:24the demon kitchen slowly close?" Wong
4:20:26Chong grinned ferociously. But when his
4:20:28eyes met mine, he suddenly felt that my
4:20:31indifferent gaze was like that of
4:20:32someone looking at a dead man. Damn,
4:20:34damn. Why is he looking at me like that?
4:20:36Does he hope I'll die? Pushing two heavy
4:20:38corpses and following the demon butler,
4:20:41Wong Chong felt a huge unease
4:20:43inexplicably surge in his heart. But all
4:20:45of this vanished completely when he saw
4:20:47the two corpses he offered being
4:20:49devoured by the demon hound. His hanging
4:20:51heart finally relaxed, and he sneered
4:20:53inwardly. Lynmo. Oh, Lynn Mo. Using the
4:20:56corpses of your own kind to please the
4:20:58demon hound is the only way to survive
4:21:00this death exam. You're finished. Is he
4:21:03going to pass the death exam and get the
4:21:05reward for this round? One wish. Lu's
4:21:07gaze was cold. Luan said lightly. Who
4:21:10knows? Lynmo. Oh, Lyn Mo, you're still
4:21:13as pretentious as ever. Now there's no
4:21:15one in the demon kitchen. You gave up
4:21:17the only chance to live yourself. Mad
4:21:19Dog laughed loudly. Brother Wu always
4:21:22felt there was some other emotion hidden
4:21:23in Mad Dog's words. But no matter what
4:21:26grudge there was between him and me, he
4:21:27didn't want to care. In any case,
4:21:29according to the current result, I was
4:21:31most likely going to die. Looking again
4:21:33at me, still stuffing myself until I
4:21:35couldn't eat anymore. He shook his head.
4:21:37There was no jealousy in his eyes
4:21:39either, only a smile. Kid Lyno, eat
4:21:42more. Go on your way as a well-fed
4:21:44ghost. However, the next turn of events
4:21:47stunned everyone. After the demon hound
4:21:49finished eating, it once again returned
4:21:51to a look of complete disinterest.
4:21:53Human, you failed to please my beloved
4:21:55dog. As punishment, I will take your
4:21:57soul and refine it into currency. Your
4:22:00body will become an extra meal for the
4:22:01demon hound. This Count Edington,
4:22:04sitting cross-legged on a skull throne,
4:22:06look down at Wong Chong, who had already
4:22:08imagined a beautiful future after
4:22:10awakening a sequence and becoming a
4:22:12transcendent. Wong Chong<unk>s face
4:22:14turned pale. No, impossible. It clearly
4:22:17ate so happily. Lord Demon, something
4:22:19must be wrong. Wrong? Are you
4:22:21questioning this? Viscount. Viscount.
4:22:23Edington's face instantly darkened. Wong
4:22:26Chong was so frightened that he wet his
4:22:27pants. He prostrated himself on the
4:22:29ground, trembling all over. No, no, no,
4:22:33no, Lord Demon. I absolutely did not
4:22:36mean that. Of I don't think you dare.
4:22:39You even pissed yourself. What a waste.
4:22:41He grabbed in the air and directly
4:22:43pulled out Wong Chong<unk>s soul. Wong
4:22:45Chongs body limply collapsed to the
4:22:47ground. Seeing this, everyone watching
4:22:49the death exam felt a chill in their
4:22:51hearts. But Wong Chong was indeed dead.
4:22:53Not only dead, his soul was taken by the
4:22:56demon to be refined into some kind of
4:22:58currency. Didn't they say human corpses
4:23:00are top tier ingredients in hell? Why
4:23:02did he still fail the death exam?
4:23:04Something's wrong. Something's wrong.
4:23:05Didn't the demon hound eat very happily?
4:23:07Why did it flip out immediately after
4:23:09eating? Hell, could this be a certain
4:23:11death question? No matter what dish is
4:23:13offered, after the demon hound eats it,
4:23:15that damned demon viscount will directly
4:23:18start extracting the soul. Very likely.
4:23:20So, options involving demons cannot be
4:23:23chosen. Linmo is doomed. Even humans,
4:23:26top tier ingredients, couldn't please
4:23:27the demon hound. How could the
4:23:29ingredients he cooked possibly satisfy
4:23:31it? Could it be that Linmo didn't snatch
4:23:33those two ingredients because he saw
4:23:35that human corpses couldn't pass this
4:23:37round of the death exam? Luan's eyes
4:23:39narrowed slightly, but how did he see
4:23:41it? Lu Yu<unk>s eyes behind her
4:23:43sunglasses were astonished. Wong Chong
4:23:45died, proving that I didn't snatch the
4:23:47corpses not merely because of human
4:23:49conscience and bottom line, but because
4:23:51I had seen something. When a big X
4:23:53appeared on the screen, the perspective
4:23:55returned once again to me in the demon
4:23:57kitchen. The demon butler, who had
4:23:59pushed the door open and returned,
4:24:01looked at me, already stuffed to the
4:24:03point I couldn't eat more, and slowly
4:24:05said, "Mr. Lynmo, guess whether Mr. Wong
4:24:08Chong successfully pleased the Viscounts
4:24:10beloved dog." I looked at him calmly.
4:24:12Butler, I don't have clairvoyance. If
4:24:14you don't mind, why not tell me the
4:24:16result? The demon Butler smiled. He
4:24:18passed and received a wish from the
4:24:20viscount, awakened a sequence, became a
4:24:23transcendent, and has already been
4:24:25teleported away. But what does it matter
4:24:26if you know now? There are no
4:24:28ingredients left for you in the demon
4:24:30kitchen. A trace of surprise appeared on
4:24:32my face, and I urgently asked, "He
4:24:34really passed?" "Really?" The demon
4:24:36butler smiled elegantly. Unfortunately,
4:24:39you gave up your only chance yourself.
4:24:41Seeing the faint trace of regret that
4:24:43slowly appeared on my face, the demon
4:24:45butler suddenly smiled and said softly
4:24:48like a demon's whisper. Mister Lyno,
4:24:52speaking of it, there are still top tier
4:24:53ingredients in the demon kitchen. It
4:24:55just depends on whether you can make up
4:24:57your mind. The demon hound eats a lot.
4:24:59You mean? I looked at the demon butler
4:25:01with burning eyes. The butler nodded.
4:25:03Yes. Now that you have digested so many
4:25:06transcendent ingredients as long as you
4:25:08remove a few parts from your body, they
4:25:10will be top tier ingredients far
4:25:12superior to those ordinary humans,
4:25:14second only to transcendence. Offer
4:25:16them, please someone's beloved dog, and
4:25:18it will be even more delighted. Seeing
4:25:21the abnormality and struggle on my face,
4:25:23everyone watching the death exam burst
4:25:25into an uproar. Does this demon butler
4:25:28have a single truthful word? Wong Chong
4:25:30clearly died. His soul was even
4:25:32extracted. Yet, he says Wong Chong not
4:25:34only passed the death exam, but also
4:25:36awakened a sequence and teleported back.
4:25:38This is clearly meant to lure Lin Mo
4:25:40into cutting off parts of himself and
4:25:42then going to his death. I've got
4:25:44goosebumps. At first, I thought this
4:25:46demon butler was a good one. I didn't
4:25:48expect he was the most sinister of all.
4:25:50Look at Linmo's expression. He's not
4:25:52really believing it, is he? Is he really
4:25:54going to cut off his own arm or leg?
4:25:56Look, he picked up the knife. Mad Dog's
4:25:59face was excited. Yes, just like that.
4:26:01Chop hard at yourself. Mad dog clenched
4:26:04his fist. This kid is finished. Brother
4:26:06Wu was somewhat moved. But Luan and Lu
4:26:09frowned slightly. Is this right? Just
4:26:11now Lin Mo was very determined. How did
4:26:13he suddenly become amid the uproar? I
4:26:16who had swung the knife at myself
4:26:17suddenly stopped. Then I looked up at
4:26:19the demon butler whose face was full of
4:26:22expectation. The cruel expectant
4:26:24expression on the demon butler's face
4:26:26froze instantly. He quickly managed his
4:26:28expression and said, "Mr. Lynmo, why did
4:26:31you stop? I casually tossed the knife
4:26:33onto the cutting board. The struggle,
4:26:35hesitation, and ruthlessness on my face
4:26:38all disappeared, returning to calm.
4:26:40Butler, you didn't really think you
4:26:42fooled me, did you? The demon Butler's
4:26:44expression stiffened, looking into my
4:26:46eyes, which seemed to have seen through
4:26:47him long ago, he was silent. After a
4:26:50long time, he revealed a proper smile
4:26:52again and asked, "Mr. Lynn, how did you
4:26:55see that Mr. Wong Chong was already
4:26:57dead?" "Yes, how did he see it? The
4:26:59transcendence and exam slays watching
4:27:01the death exam pricricked up their ears.
4:27:03Of course, through the death exam
4:27:05simulation system, I murmured in my
4:27:07heart. But of course, I couldn't say
4:27:08this. Looking at the demon butler's
4:27:10curious gaze, I said calmly, I don't
4:27:13believe a demon would kindly remind us
4:27:15that humans are top tier ingredients in
4:27:16hell. Just that. The demon butler found
4:27:19it hard to believe. Had the reputation
4:27:21of demons really fallen to this degree.
4:27:23Just that. I believe any gift from a
4:27:25demon must hide an unimaginable price. I
4:27:29said as I spoke, I did not forget to
4:27:31walk back and forth to speed up
4:27:32digestion. The demon butler laughed
4:27:35heartily. Mr. Lynn, you are truly the
4:27:37most cautious guest I have ever met. I
4:27:39pay the highest respect to your caution.
4:27:42He bowed. And the transcendence and exam
4:27:44slaves watching this round of the death
4:27:46exam were speechless for a long time. So
4:27:48that's how Kid Linmo saw through it.
4:27:50Brother Wu found it hard to believe.
4:27:52After all, what normal person would
4:27:54suspect this? H what's there to sigh
4:27:56about? Mad dog snorted coldly. The
4:27:59current problem is that demon hound
4:28:00really did eat human corpses. Human
4:28:03corpses being top tier ingredients is
4:28:05undoubtedly true. Even such top tier
4:28:07ingredients couldn't please the demon
4:28:09hound. How can what he is cooking pass
4:28:10the death exam? Luan said lightly. In
4:28:13the death exam, never believe any kind
4:28:16reminder from a demon. That is a basic
4:28:18survival rule. He was increasingly
4:28:20optimistic about me. But the exam slaves
4:28:22were boiling. This is the old veteran
4:28:24who has survived the death exam all
4:28:26along. Although he hasn't awakened and
4:28:28become a transcendent. This caution and
4:28:31insight are not something us ordinary
4:28:33exam slaves can compare to. Maybe he
4:28:35really has a chance to survive this
4:28:36round of the death exam. If he can get
4:28:38that wish and awaken as a transcendent,
4:28:41without a doubt, he'll become the sixth
4:28:43transcendent in the team, completely
4:28:45shedding the identity of exam slave. If
4:28:48only I could cling to his thigh.
4:28:49Unfortunately, Mr. Lynn usually doesn't
4:28:52touch even us, let alone those pretty
4:28:54exam slaves who throw themselves at him.
4:28:56Could he like men? I feel I can do it.
4:28:58Get lost. If anyone can, it should be me
4:29:01first. Look at your skinny arms and
4:29:03legs. How are you more appealing than my
4:29:05round face, full beard, and slightly
4:29:07plump build? In the death exam, because
4:29:09what I was doing now was constantly
4:29:11moving back and forth to promote
4:29:13digestion. The viewing perspective began
4:29:15to speed up. Half an hour later, when I
4:29:17returned from the demon castle bathroom
4:29:19again under the demon butler's helpless
4:29:21gaze, I closed the silver lid. "Mr.
4:29:24Lynn, what are you?" Seeing me start the
4:29:26fire again and begin cooking hell
4:29:28ingredients with clear water, the demon
4:29:30butler finally couldn't hold it in. I
4:29:32said, "I feel the portion is still not
4:29:34quite enough." Luan, Brother Wu, and the
4:29:37others watching the death exam had their
4:29:38eyelids twitch. This was no death exam.
4:29:41This was clearly a supply run. After the
4:29:43previous round of hell ingredients was
4:29:45digested, my physique might have reached
4:29:47nine times that of an ordinary person,
4:29:49it was already almost the same as the
4:29:51physical strength of an ordinary
4:29:53sequence nine transcendent. If I were
4:29:55allowed to strengthen my body another
4:29:57round through these transcendent
4:29:58ingredients, then even if I had not
4:30:00awakened a sequence, I would probably be
4:30:02comparable to a transcendent. Lu Yu said
4:30:05calmly. When an ordinary transcendent
4:30:07awakens a sequence, their body strength
4:30:09is roughly equivalent to 10 ordinary
4:30:12healthy men. Although their main killing
4:30:14method is still sequence abilities,
4:30:16physical strength is also an important
4:30:18combat indicator. Brother Wu took a deep
4:30:20breath. This kid, if he can go another
4:30:22round, even if the effects of those
4:30:24ingredients weaken, he will reach the
4:30:26limit of an ordinary human body. By
4:30:29then, he glanced at Mad Dog. Mad Dog
4:30:31gritted his teeth. The calmness he had
4:30:33when he first forcibly sent me into the
4:30:35death exam was long gone. 10 times an
4:30:37ordinary person's physique. If he wanted
4:30:39to make a move against me again, and I
4:30:41fought him desperately, even if he
4:30:43didn't die in the end, he would probably
4:30:45be seriously injured. In a world like
4:30:47this, serious injury was basically no
4:30:49different from death. No, don't panic.
4:30:52He may not survive this death exam
4:30:53question. Even if he passes, there are
4:30:56still two harder rounds ahead. The demon
4:30:58butler watched me, ready to continue
4:30:59enjoying hell ingredients under the
4:31:01pretext of cooking food. The corner of
4:31:03his mouth twitched slightly, then he
4:31:05smiled. "Mr. Lynn, you really are a
4:31:08greedy fellow, but the viscount has been
4:31:10waiting a long time. Making a demon
4:31:12noble weight is very rude. Seeing that I
4:31:14couldn't delay another round, I didn't
4:31:16shamelessly linger. I casually stuffed a
4:31:18few demon ingredients suitable for
4:31:20carrying into my clothes, then picked up
4:31:22two snow white plates covered with
4:31:24shining silver cloes and followed the
4:31:26demon butler to meet Viscount Edington.
4:31:28Along the way, although the demon butler
4:31:30walked in front, he constantly paid
4:31:32attention to my footsteps, expression,
4:31:35and gaze from behind. "Strange! Why does
4:31:37Mr. Lynn seem more familiar with the
4:31:39route in this castle than I am?" the
4:31:41demon butler muttered inwardly. Soon we
4:31:43arrived at the main hall of the demon
4:31:45castle. The heavy door opened and an
4:31:47evil aura rushed toward us. I saw
4:31:49Viscount Edington sitting cross-legged
4:31:51on the skull throne, bored, swirling red
4:31:54wine in his glass. The demon hound
4:31:56crouched at his feet. He's here.
4:31:58Everyone watching the death exam
4:32:00unconsciously slowed their breathing.
4:32:02Let's see how you survive. Mad Dog
4:32:04sneered. Master, the last human chef has
4:32:07finished cooking. I pushed the food cart
4:32:09with two plates on it. Viscount
4:32:11Edington's gaze fell on me and greed
4:32:13appeared in his eyes. he murmured
4:32:15inwardly. A human strengthened through
4:32:17many rounds. Both flesh and soul are of
4:32:20high quality, and there is also the aura
4:32:22of angelic power. Very suitable as a
4:32:25collectible. Human, what delicacy have
4:32:27you cooked for my beloved dog? What
4:32:29delicacy? The demon butler's eyelid
4:32:31twitched. But since Viscount Edington
4:32:33had not asked him, he naturally could
4:32:35not make a rude move. I stepped forward,
4:32:38followed the etiquette the demon butler
4:32:40had taught me, bowed elegantly, right
4:32:42hand on my chest. Honorable Viscount, I
4:32:44have prepared the ultimate dish for your
4:32:46beloved dog. It is called the feast of
4:32:48reincarnation. It is cooked using the
4:32:50various rare hell ingredients you
4:32:52provided. In the human world, when
4:32:54cooking with human ingredients, canine
4:32:56creatures have almost no resistance. I
4:32:58believe your beloved dog will also be
4:33:00unable to resist this feast of
4:33:02reincarnation. Oh, feast of
4:33:04reincarnation. Hearing my introduction,
4:33:07this countdington's eyes instantly
4:33:09showed interest. This ant-like weak
4:33:11human was so confident. He must have
4:33:13extremely high attainments in cooking.
4:33:15Bring it up quickly. Let me see whether
4:33:17this so-called ultimate dish deserves
4:33:19its name. Hearing Viscount Edington's
4:33:21words, the butler immediately moved to
4:33:23carry the two plates on the table up.
4:33:25Usually somewhat of a neat freak, he
4:33:27wished he could throw the plates in his
4:33:29hands away immediately. But as a
4:33:30qualified servant, he could not resist
4:33:32his master's orders. This countd looked
4:33:35at the delicacies covered by silver
4:33:37cloes, leaned forward, and slowly
4:33:39approached. itch. A strange smell. His
4:33:42nose twitched slightly, but he did not
4:33:44find it strange. Since this human called
4:33:46this food the ultimate dish, seeing
4:33:48Viscount Edington reach out to slowly
4:33:50open the silver cloch, the demon butler
4:33:53had already instinctively held his
4:33:54breath. The many exam slays watching the
4:33:57death exam did not dare breathe. If he
4:33:59opened the lid, would I be slapped to
4:34:01death on the spot? It really is
4:34:02possible. After all, even a normal
4:34:05person opening the lid full of
4:34:06expectation, finding that the other
4:34:08party had served a pile of would
4:34:10probably be so angry they smashed the
4:34:12plate in your face. Moreover, this was a
4:34:14noble demon viscount. H if you don't
4:34:17seek death, you won't die. Serving such
4:34:19a delicacy to an elegant, noble, and
4:34:22well- behaved demon noble. Dying is
4:34:24normal. Click. When Viscount Edington
4:34:27opened the silver cloch full of
4:34:29expectation, a stench rushed at him.
4:34:31Looking at the steaming, unsightly pile
4:34:33in the basin, the expression on Viscount
4:34:35Edington's face froze instantly. Coming
4:34:38back to his senses, his expression
4:34:40changed drastically. He could not help
4:34:42but dry heave, then roared furiously.
4:34:45What is this? Honorable Viscount. This
4:34:47is the ultimate deliciousness, the feast
4:34:50of reincarnation, the ultimate dish that
4:34:52all canine creatures cannot resist.
4:34:54Looking at me below, still spouting
4:34:56nonsense with a straight face. Viscount
4:34:58Edington's already ugly face twisted
4:35:01further. He was angered into laughing.
4:35:03Human, you dare toy with me? Do you
4:35:05think I can't tell what this is? His
4:35:07voice was still relatively calm, echoing
4:35:10in the hall. Yet beneath that calm voice
4:35:12was suppressed fury that could burn the
4:35:14heavens. Once completely released, it
4:35:16could instantly burn me below to ashes.
4:35:18Feeling the mountain-like pressure
4:35:20bearing down on me, I showed no
4:35:22intention of begging for mercy. I only
4:35:24struggled to support my body and said,
4:35:26"Biscount. This was not cooked for you,
4:35:29but specially prepared for your beloved
4:35:30dog. It is normal that you do not like
4:35:32it, but why not see whether your beloved
4:35:34dog is satisfied with the dish I have
4:35:36offered. Only then did the furious
4:35:38Viscount Edington notice. After eating
4:35:40the three human corpses, the demon
4:35:42hound, which had returned to looking
4:35:44anorexic, now suddenly stood up. Its
4:35:46pair of desireless eyes were now fixed
4:35:48on the two plates the demon butler held,
4:35:50full of burning heat. The longing in its
4:35:53eyes almost materialized. It frantically
4:35:55stuck out its tongue. foul saliva
4:35:57flowing uncontrollably, its tail wagging
4:36:00so fast it almost blurred, madly
4:36:02circling the demon butler, as if begging
4:36:05him to put down the plates. This Count
4:36:07Edington's expression became strange. He
4:36:09had never seen the demon hound in this
4:36:11state. Even when he fed it top tier
4:36:13human ingredients, it had never shown
4:36:15such an ugly display. But how could the
4:36:17filth in these plates be used to feed
4:36:18the beloved dog of an elegant and proper
4:36:21demon noble? Yet, due to the death exam
4:36:23rules, he had no way to directly slap me
4:36:25to death. He suppressed the enormous
4:36:27humiliation brought by me using such
4:36:29filth to insult him and said coldly,
4:36:32"Feed it to Abby." He sat back on the
4:36:34skull throne and drank the remaining red
4:36:36wine in one gulp. He was already
4:36:38prepared. If after his beloved dog ate
4:36:41it, it still did not feel truly
4:36:43satisfied and pleased from the bottom of
4:36:45its heart. Then he would not refine my
4:36:47soul into currency or feed my body to
4:36:49the demon hound. Instead, he would
4:36:51imprison me forever to spend the rest of
4:36:53my life in endless pain. When the demon
4:36:56butler, following Viscount Edington's
4:36:58order, put down the feast of
4:36:59reincarnation, I had spent a great deal
4:37:01of time carefully cooking. The demon
4:37:03hound, which had long been unable to
4:37:05wait, stuck out its tongue and licked
4:37:07it. Then its eyes burst with light. Its
4:37:09face practically said, "Yes, this is the
4:37:12taste, the taste I have always longed
4:37:14for in my heart." Watching the demon
4:37:16hound reveal an incomparably greedy
4:37:18expression and frantically gulp it down,
4:37:20the transcendence and exam slaves
4:37:23watching the death exam were stunned.
4:37:25This eating manner really might be
4:37:26possible. Mad Dog had already begun to
4:37:28feel that things were bad. The demon
4:37:30hounds eating manner was truly
4:37:32terrifying. Even when enjoying the
4:37:34so-called top tier hell ingredient,
4:37:36humans, it had not been onetenth as
4:37:38excited as now. When he gets that wish,
4:37:40he'll directly wish to awaken a sequence
4:37:42and become a transcendent. Mad Dog's
4:37:45face turned a few shades whiter. I was
4:37:47already a fatal threat to him now. If on
4:37:49top of that, I awakened a sequence, that
4:37:51would be even worse. Watching the demon
4:37:53hound devour madly, I had a hint of a
4:37:55smile in my eyes. Yes, just like that.
4:37:58Bite fiercely, chew fiercely. I had
4:38:00never raised a dog, nor did I like dogs
4:38:03or other small animals. But I knew how
4:38:05to handle dogs. Before the apocalypse,
4:38:07in the neighborhood where I lived, there
4:38:09were many old men and women who walked
4:38:11their dogs without leashes. Those dogs
4:38:13often chase people, but the old men and
4:38:15women would only say, "My dog doesn't
4:38:18bite. Don't be afraid." Once a dog
4:38:20foolishly rushed at me and I kicked it.
4:38:22Its eyes instantly became clear, but the
4:38:25old woman clung to me. A group of dog
4:38:27lovers followed the old woman and
4:38:29condemned me. So, I found a blind spot
4:38:31without surveillance cameras online,
4:38:33covered my face, and beat the old woman.
4:38:35The next day, I still felt a breath
4:38:37stuck in my heart. So, I found a method.
4:38:39I got some fresh feces and placed them
4:38:41out when the old men and women walked
4:38:42their dogs. The dogs, their mouths full
4:38:45of it, went back and frantically licked
4:38:47those old men and women because they
4:38:49couldn't finish it. The dogs also liked
4:38:51to smear it all over themselves. After a
4:38:53few times, all the old men and women in
4:38:56the neighborhood walked their dogs on
4:38:57leashes. When I saw the demon hound
4:38:59satisfied, licking the plate over and
4:39:01over, I knew it was time to end the
4:39:03death exam. Looking at the demon hound,
4:39:05which turned to me with a grateful look
4:39:07of satisfaction, I felt a little
4:39:09surprised. In the simulation, this
4:39:11detail had not been mentioned. The demon
4:39:13hound was madly rubbing against Viscount
4:39:15Eddington's trouser leg. Viscount
4:39:17Edington's eyelid twitched hard, his
4:39:19face full of disgust. After all, he knew
4:39:22what this dead dog had just eaten.
4:39:24Looking at me below, Viscount Edington's
4:39:26expression was sinister. The Viscount
4:39:28really wanted to slap me to death. Me, a
4:39:31human who had used such filth to feed a
4:39:32noble's beloved hound. But the current
4:39:35situation was that his beloved hound was
4:39:37genuinely satisfied and had completely
4:39:39regained its vitality. Human, you have
4:39:41successfully pleased my beloved hound. I
4:39:44will honor the promise I made at the
4:39:45beginning. I will grant you one wish.
4:39:47Speak. Viscount Edington's voice echoed
4:39:50through the great hall. He really
4:39:51succeeded in pleasing the demon hound.
4:39:54Damn, that's a wish. Even if there are
4:39:56restrictions, as long as he asks to
4:39:58awaken a sequence, then after he comes
4:40:00out, he'll completely leave behind the
4:40:02identity of a test slave. this kid
4:40:05really hit the jackpot in one step.
4:40:07Brother Wu<unk>s eyes were full of envy
4:40:09and jealousy. If I had gone through
4:40:11near-death trials in the death exam with
4:40:13ups and downs and finally barely
4:40:15awakened a sequence at the edge of life
4:40:17and death to become a transcendent, he
4:40:19would have felt a little better. But
4:40:21after entering Demon Castle, I had taken
4:40:23every advantage. No good, no good. Mad
4:40:26Dog clenched his fists. Luan stared
4:40:29fixedly at the death exam projection and
4:40:31murmured, "Is the team finally going to
4:40:33have another transcendent?" Judging by
4:40:34my style of doing things, he was
4:40:36actually both pleased and worried. What
4:40:38worried him was that once I became a
4:40:40transcendent, I would never be as easy
4:40:42to control as Mad Dog and Brother Wu.
4:40:44The strength I had shown would challenge
4:40:46his absolute dominance. But having
4:40:48another strong member in the team would
4:40:50add bargaining chips when he reached
4:40:51Jang City and joined that large
4:40:53transcendent organization. I looked at
4:40:55Viscount Edington who had mockery in his
4:40:57eyes and the demon butler standing aside
4:40:59ready to enjoy the show and bowed
4:41:01slightly. Honorable Viscount, it is my
4:41:04honor to relieve your troubles. I dare
4:41:06not ask for a reward. Since I have
4:41:08successfully pleased your beloved hound
4:41:10and restored its appetite, I should take
4:41:12my leave. As soon as these words came
4:41:14out, this countdington and the demon
4:41:16butler who had been ready for a good
4:41:17show were both stunned. Why wasn't this
4:41:20human following the script at this time?
4:41:22Shouldn't he be wild with joy, shouting,
4:41:24"I want to rule the world. I want
4:41:26beauties, wealth, power, or unmatched
4:41:29strength and making a fool of himself."
4:41:31Then he would mock and jeer him harshly
4:41:33and tell him to get lost. What did he
4:41:35mean? Why refuse the wish? The test
4:41:37slaves were in an uproar. Is he crazy?
4:41:39How many test slaves never encountered
4:41:41such a chance even until death? Yet, he
4:41:44clearly had it in his hands and pushed
4:41:46it away himself. This madman, does he
4:41:48know what he's doing? Once he misses
4:41:50this chance, next time it won't be so
4:41:52easy to encounter an option to become a
4:41:54transcendent. Is this retreating in
4:41:56order to advance? Luan murmured as he
4:41:59watched the projection. In his heart, he
4:42:01vaguely sensed why I had done this. He
4:42:03recalled the expressions on Viscount
4:42:05Edington's and the demon butler's faces
4:42:07just now and the mockery hidden deep in
4:42:09their eyes. Suddenly, he laughed at
4:42:11himself. When did I become so naive? I
4:42:14actually subconsciously believed a
4:42:15demon's promise except for a directly
4:42:18signed contract. Not a single word a
4:42:20demon says can be trusted. Tch cunning
4:42:23human. How boring. Viscount Edington's
4:42:25eyes glowed green. He gave me a deep
4:42:27look then curled his lip. Since you saw
4:42:29long ago that the reward of one wish was
4:42:32fake, let's speak plainly. Get lost. The
4:42:34rule of this round of the death exam is
4:42:36that as long as you successfully please
4:42:38my beloved hound with delicious food,
4:42:40you can leave alive. As for a reward,
4:42:43there is none, but you haven't lost out
4:42:45either. The reward is fake. The
4:42:47transcendence and test slaves watching
4:42:48the death exam widen their eyes. As
4:42:51expected, Luan smiled Riley. But
4:42:53Viscount Edington was also very clever,
4:42:56and just now he seemed to have used some
4:42:58kind of spell that could judge the truth
4:42:59or falsehood of words through a person's
4:43:01soul fluctuations. I had originally
4:43:03planned to retreat in order to advance
4:43:05to see if I could put Viscount Edington
4:43:07on the spot and squeeze some benefits
4:43:09out of him. But now it seemed the other
4:43:11party was even smarter than I had
4:43:12thought. The moment I opened my mouth,
4:43:15he had already seen through my scheme.
4:43:17Since that was the case, I stopped
4:43:18pretending. I straightened from my bow
4:43:21and my expression returned to normal. In
4:43:23that case, I will take my leave. This
4:43:25Count Edington narrowed his eyes at me.
4:43:27You're not angry? I shook my head. What
4:43:29is there to be angry about? It is my
4:43:31fortune to gain it, my fate to lose it.
4:43:34Besides, I have gained a great deal in
4:43:36the death exam, and there will be
4:43:37rewards after I leave. This countdington
4:43:40gave me a deep look. Interesting fellow,
4:43:42but this time you guessed wrong. I
4:43:44really was prepared to reward you with a
4:43:46little something. After saying that, he
4:43:48kicked away the demon hound that was
4:43:49still rubbing against his leg and said
4:43:51irritably, "Dead dog, stop whining
4:43:53there. I'll reward him with something,"
4:43:55"All right." Only then did the demon
4:43:57hound look at me and blink. I was
4:43:59puzzled. There had been no such scene in
4:44:02the simulation. Could it be that because
4:44:03I had increased the portion in one go,
4:44:06the demon hound had eaten to its hearts
4:44:08content? "For the sake of restoring my
4:44:10dog spirits, I will now give you two
4:44:12choices," Viscount Edington said calmly.
4:44:14First, I give you a demon item that is
4:44:16not bad for you. Second, you may save
4:44:19the human who just died. The human who
4:44:21just died? I frowned slightly. Who? Wong
4:44:24Chong. With a snap, Viscount Edington
4:44:26snapped his fingers and two things
4:44:28appeared before me. An ancient looking
4:44:30ring, a soul looking around blankly, its
4:44:32appearance clearly Wong Chong. At this
4:44:34moment, Wong Chong looked around
4:44:36somewhat at a loss. Choose Viscount
4:44:38Edington said calmly. Wong Chongs
4:44:41quickly understood his situation. His
4:44:42gaze fell on me. his eyes full of
4:44:44begging, but his voice could not travel
4:44:46out. So he directly knelt on the ground,
4:44:49begging me to take his soul away. I
4:44:51glanced at him calmly, touched the
4:44:53ancient mysterious ring with my finger,
4:44:55and immediately sensed its information.
4:44:57Tier, one demon item. As long as you
4:45:00sacrifice an organ from your own body,
4:45:02you can summon a demon to assist in
4:45:04battle. The more precious the sacrificed
4:45:06organ, the stronger the summoned demon.
4:45:08I looked at the effect of this demon
4:45:10summoning ring and raised my head to
4:45:12Viscount Edington. I've seen the effect.
4:45:14Is there a ring that sacrifices someone
4:45:16else's organs to summon a demon? This
4:45:18Count Edington was stunned. You won't
4:45:20consider taking his soul away. I said
4:45:22calmly. I'm not familiar with him. Just
4:45:24now he was pointing a knife at me. But
4:45:26you have an angel's aura on you. You
4:45:29should have hesitated a little. Viscount
4:45:30Edington said, stroking his chin. My
4:45:33gaze fell on Wong Chong<unk>s soul, who
4:45:35was cowtowing frantically and saying
4:45:37things I could not hear. Although I
4:45:39don't know why you viscount threw out
4:45:41such an option, I have no reason to take
4:45:43him away. If possible, I hope you will
4:45:45exchange it for the ring I just
4:45:47described as my reward. Viscount
4:45:49Edington side, what a cold-blooded
4:45:51human, but I cannot agree to your
4:45:53condition because compared to other
4:45:54humans organs or souls, I am more
4:45:57interested in yours. That's fine, too. I
4:45:59nodded. A huge suction force came from
4:46:01the void, and I slowly dissipated within
4:46:04the castle. Before completely fading, I
4:46:06saw a strange smile appear on Viscount
4:46:08Edington's face. Human who has received
4:46:11an angel's blessing. I looked forward to
4:46:13the day you used that ring. When I
4:46:15disappeared, the entire projection went
4:46:17dark and then a check mark appeared. 100
4:46:20points. A golden confetti effect
4:46:22appeared above the exam paper. Looking
4:46:24at me, who had earned full marks on the
4:46:26first question, both the transcendence
4:46:28and test slaves were in an uproar. Full
4:46:30marks. Full marks again. This Lynn Emmo
4:46:33also passed the previous round of the
4:46:35death exam with full marks. It's
4:46:37different. This question's full marks
4:46:39were obtained from a demon's hands,
4:46:41while the previous death exams were
4:46:43obtained from an angel's hands. The
4:46:45difficulty of the two is not on the same
4:46:47level at all. And this time, it's a
4:46:48three question death exam. If he can
4:46:50accumulate high scores on all three, he
4:46:53will very likely receive an extra hidden
4:46:55reward in the end. H what's the use of
4:46:57getting a hidden reward? He'll still
4:46:59have to obediently hand it over to the
4:47:01transcendence. Better not to get it at
4:47:03all. Are you an idiot? The first death
4:47:05exam question is already this
4:47:06terrifying. Can the next two be simple?
4:47:09If he can survive the next two, he's
4:47:11probably already awakened to sequence.
4:47:13Watch your mouth. What do you mean, Lynn
4:47:15Mo? Lynmo. Call him Master Lynn. The
4:47:17test slaves looked at me. Although there
4:47:19was jealousy in their eyes, there was
4:47:21more awe. 100 points. Luan sighed
4:47:23inwardly. Getting a high score in this
4:47:25death exam was not just about coming out
4:47:27alive. Captain, he got that demon ring.
4:47:30Brother Wu said in a low voice before
4:47:32Mad Dog could speak. Luchuan glanced at
4:47:34him and frowned slightly. But Brother Wu
4:47:36said, "He's still an ordinary person
4:47:39after all. According to the rules, he
4:47:41has to hand it over." Luchuan closed his
4:47:43eyes and thought, "He really came out
4:47:45alive and with full marks." Behind Lu
4:47:48Yu<unk>s sunglasses, her eyes shimmerred
4:47:50with extraordinary light. This man was
4:47:52even more outstanding than she had
4:47:54imagined. As I finished, the last
4:47:56examinee also finished the death exam.
4:47:58At this moment, all the other surviving
4:48:00examinees were also teleported back.
4:48:02Holding that tier, one demon summoning
4:48:05ring, I was afraid it might have some
4:48:06special trick left on it. So, I did not
4:48:08dare wear it on my hand. I did not even
4:48:11dare use the ring to sacrifice one of my
4:48:13own organs and summon a demon to assist
4:48:15in battle. The reason I brought it back
4:48:17was that I had another use for it. Why
4:48:19had Viscount Edington released Wong
4:48:21Chong's soul and shown a tendency to
4:48:22hope I would bring that soul back? What
4:48:25benefit was there in it for him? I still
4:48:26did not quite understand why Viscount
4:48:28Edington had summoned Wong Chong<unk>s
4:48:30soul at the end and hoped I would bring
4:48:32Wong Chong back. But I did not think
4:48:34Viscount Edington had shown kindness
4:48:36because of the demon hounds pleading.
4:48:37Demons simply did not have something as
4:48:39cheap as a conscience. Every gift from a
4:48:41demon had a price attached that the
4:48:43recipient could absolutely never bear.
4:48:46The reason I still brought the ring back
4:48:47was mainly to see what would happen if
4:48:49Lu Chuan and the others forcibly took it
4:48:51away and then used it. If they did not
4:48:53want it, I would find an empty corner
4:48:55and throw the demon ring away. In Demon
4:48:57Castle, my gains had already been great
4:48:59enough. I could not be greedier. Feeling
4:49:02the surging blood and chi within me, my
4:49:04awe toward the transcendence in the
4:49:06team, especially Mad Dog, had basically
4:49:08dissipated. My back, leaning against the
4:49:11chair, unconsciously straightened a
4:49:13little. Are there only this few people
4:49:15left? I looked around and found that the
4:49:17exam desks that had originally been
4:49:19packed with 20 examinees were now empty
4:49:21and deserted. Only four people had come
4:49:23back alive. You are very impressive.
4:49:25From the exam desk next to me came a
4:49:28clear, calm girl's voice. Looking at
4:49:30Ingu, still shrouded in a black robe, I
4:49:32was not surprised at all. After all,
4:49:35that goblin elite Baboo was an
4:49:36unsolvable existence to ordinary people.
4:49:39But to Ingu, whose sequence was shadow
4:49:41assassin, it was not invincible. In the
4:49:44team, no one had ever seen her go all
4:49:46out. "Thank you for the compliment. It
4:49:48was just a trick," I said. We did not
4:49:50exchange more words. My gaze moved to
4:49:52the other two surviving examinees. But
4:49:55how had those two come back alive? I
4:49:57looked at the two female examinees who
4:49:58had chosen option A and returned alive.
4:50:01Judging by their appearance, they did
4:50:03not look like they had gone through any
4:50:04battle, and their clothes were
4:50:06relatively neat. It did not seem like
4:50:08the slip-mouthed woman was lustful
4:50:09toward women and had made some
4:50:11unspeakable deal with them. My current
4:50:13physical strength was already about the
4:50:15same as an ordinary sequence 9 expert. I
4:50:18could be considered half a transcendent.
4:50:19I was now probably only one step away
4:50:22from becoming a transcendent. Once I
4:50:23crossed that step, my future would be
4:50:25boundless. Was it necessary to offend me
4:50:28over a single item? Luchuan was still
4:50:30weighing it in his heart. But the test
4:50:32slaves were already whispering among
4:50:34themselves. Stop worrying about Lyno.
4:50:36You still have time to care about
4:50:37others. Think about yourselves. What do
4:50:40you mean? Didn't you see? Of 20 people,
4:50:42only four survived the first question.
4:50:44With such a terrifying death rate and
4:50:47such a big gap in examinees, won't we
4:50:49have to fill it? Damn. I just don't know
4:50:51what kind of questions there will be and
4:50:53how many people are missing. The test
4:50:55slaves looked at the empty examine seats
4:50:57one by one, their faces turning pale.
4:50:59The death rate of this round of the
4:51:01death exam was too terrifying. The first
4:51:03question was already like this. How
4:51:05would they endure the two questions
4:51:07after? Just as the test slaves were
4:51:09anxious and afraid. Shifting their steps
4:51:11backward, Brother Wu and the team
4:51:13exchanged a glance with Luan after the
4:51:15latter finished weighing things. He
4:51:17immediately understood what Luan was
4:51:19thinking. The demon ring had to be
4:51:21collected, but Luan would not step
4:51:23forward to be the villain. Understood.
4:51:26Brother Wu grinned. He had a feeling
4:51:27that the demon ring was extremely
4:51:29compatible with him. He stepped forward,
4:51:31walked toward the area near the 20 desks
4:51:33and chairs, looked at me, and slowly
4:51:36spoke. "Kid, you know the team's rules,
4:51:38right?" I turned my head and saw Brother
4:51:40Wu<unk>s face with its hearty smile. I
4:51:42naturally knew what Brother Wu was
4:51:44talking about. I pretended to hesitate
4:51:46for a moment. Brother Wu grinned. Kid,
4:51:48don't do anything foolish. Although your
4:51:50physique is now close to an ordinary
4:51:52sequence 9 transcendent. What matters
4:51:54most for a sequence user is still their
4:51:56own ability. If you don't become a
4:51:58transcendent, you'll always be an ant.
4:52:00Don't make things difficult for Brother
4:52:02Wu. Brother Wu advised me relatively
4:52:04patiently, not as roughly as he treated
4:52:06ordinary test slaves. I nodded and
4:52:09flicked the ring directly to brother Wu.
4:52:10I had brought back this item which very
4:52:12likely contained some kind of backup
4:52:14plan of Viscount Edington, not for my
4:52:16own use. Brother Wu had not expected me
4:52:18to hand it over so easily. I was still
4:52:20in the death exam. Even if I did not
4:52:22hand it over, he did not dare force his
4:52:24way into the death exam area to snatch
4:52:26it or he would be forcibly erased by the
4:52:28death exam game. His huge palm caught
4:52:30the demon summoning ring that flew over
4:52:32like a bullet. Boom! A muffled sound
4:52:35came from his palm. Feeling that
4:52:37powerful force, Brother Wu was secretly
4:52:39startled. This kid's current physique
4:52:41was already comparable to a sequence 9
4:52:43transcendent. Was he deliberately
4:52:45showing his strength to make us
4:52:46transcendence feel a bit wary? Brother
4:52:48Wu grinned. He saw through my little
4:52:50scheme at a glance. Holding that cold,
4:52:52heavy ring, he saw its information.
4:52:55Otherworld demon summoning ring. Each
4:52:57use required sacrificing one or more
4:52:59organs of the body. The more sacrificed,
4:53:01the stronger the summoned demon. After
4:53:03reading the information, he finally
4:53:05understood why I had only hesitated for
4:53:07an instant before tossing the ring to
4:53:09him. It was because the price of each
4:53:11use of this demon-rated ring was
4:53:13something ordinary people and even the
4:53:15vast majority of transcendents could not
4:53:17bear. But Brother Wu<unk>s face did not
4:53:19show any regret. Instead, it was full of
4:53:22ecstasy. This ring was practically
4:53:24tailorade for him. Haha, good ring. Good
4:53:26ring. Brother Wu walked toward Luan and
4:53:29the others with the ring. After
4:53:30examining the ring, Luan smiled and
4:53:33said, "This ring suits you. Keep it."
4:53:35Brother Wu did not refuse at all and put
4:53:37it directly on his finger. With this
4:53:39ring, among sequence 9, I am invincible.
4:53:42Mad Dog's eyes were full of envy and
4:53:44jealousy, but he quickly put on a
4:53:46fawning, flattering smile. Brother Wu is
4:53:49mighty, invincible under heaven. He did
4:53:51not forget to cast a cold glance at me,
4:53:54as if saying, "So, what if you risk your
4:53:56life as a test slave? The precious item
4:53:58you traded your life for still has to be
4:54:00offered to the transcendence in the
4:54:02team. My expression remained as usual.
4:54:04Brother Wu sequence was called gluttony
4:54:06demon. No matter how severe his
4:54:08injuries, as long as he replenished food
4:54:10in time, he could recover. So the ring
4:54:12really went to him. I was not surprised.
4:54:14When I brought the ring back, I had
4:54:16guessed that the one most likely to use
4:54:18it in the end was brother Woo. I just
4:54:20did not know what trick Viscount
4:54:21Edington had left in that ring. My
4:54:23intuition told me there was definitely
4:54:24something very wrong inside that ring.
4:54:26Congratulations to the four examinees
4:54:28for passing the first question of the
4:54:30death exam. Rewards have been issued.
4:54:32The second death exam question will
4:54:34begin in 10 minutes. It has been
4:54:36detected that the current number of
4:54:38examinees is insufficient. 16 examinees
4:54:41need to be replenished. After 10
4:54:43minutes, if no examinees enter the exam
4:54:45venue voluntarily, personnel will be
4:54:48randomly and forcibly drawn from all
4:54:50surrounding examinees to make up the
4:54:52number. After the death exam game's cold
4:54:54mechanical voice fell as usual, a deluxe
4:54:56KFC bucket of fried chicken and a 2 L
4:54:59bottle of ice cold cola appeared on the
4:55:01exam desks in front of the surviving me.
4:55:03Ingu and the other two women, the
4:55:05surrounding test slaves all swallowed
4:55:07their saliva collectively. Damn, it
4:55:09smells so good. Since the apocalypse,
4:55:12I've never smelled the aroma of fried
4:55:14chicken again. Look at that ice cold
4:55:15cola. I can't even imagine how happy one
4:55:18sip would be. If I could eat a bite of
4:55:20fried chicken and drink a sip of ice
4:55:21cold cola, I wouldn't regret it even if
4:55:23I died right now. Never mind that. Look
4:55:26at the exam paper. A new question has
4:55:28appeared. Amid the exclamations, the
4:55:31huge exam paper floating in midair
4:55:33trembled and drops of scarlet blood slid
4:55:35down its surface. The original question
4:55:37dispersed and a new question appeared.
4:55:40Luan and the others all held their
4:55:42breath and watched intently. Second
4:55:44question. You are given an AK 47 plus
4:55:48200 rounds of bullets capable of dealing
4:55:50considerable damage to the strange.
4:55:52Among the following three options, which
4:55:54will you choose? A. Go to a shady
4:55:56workshop run by dwarves and work as free
4:55:58labor for 3 months. B. Descend into a
4:56:01low-level wasteland world completely
4:56:03devoured by the strange and look up at
4:56:06the blood moon for 5 seconds. C.
4:56:08sacrifice a certain part of your body to
4:56:10offer to a mysterious finger if them are
4:56:13satisfied enough. Perhaps extra benefits
4:56:15will be bestowed. The reward for this
4:56:17second question is actually an AK 47 and
4:56:20200 rounds capable of dealing
4:56:22considerable damage to the strange.
4:56:24Looking at the reward for the second
4:56:26question, not to mention ordinary test
4:56:28slaves. Even Lu Schwan and the other
4:56:30transcendent were somewhat astonished.
4:56:32After the apocalypse descended, firearms
4:56:35still had fairly considerable killing
4:56:37power against low-level monsters and
4:56:39transcendants. But against the vast
4:56:41majority of incorporeal strange or those
4:56:43special monsters, they were basically
4:56:45useless. But this was not absolute. For
4:56:48example, silver bullets could cause
4:56:50terrifying damage to vampires or
4:56:52ordinary cold weapons coated with black
4:56:54dog blood could also deal considerable
4:56:56damage to low-level monsters like
4:56:58zombies. Being able to damage the
4:57:00strange basically made them equivalent
4:57:02to transcendent items. And one must pay
4:57:04attention. The reward was an AK 47, a
4:57:07large caliber firearm with 7.62 caliber.
4:57:11Even if those 200 rounds did not deal
4:57:13special damage to the Strange, it was
4:57:15still an extremely terrifying boost in
4:57:17combat power. Weaker Transcendence
4:57:19facing it would still have to avoid its
4:57:21edge and would not dare take it head-on.
4:57:23If we can pass this round of the death
4:57:25exam and get the gun and these 200
4:57:27rounds, if there are enough people, then
4:57:29even a test slave lowered his voice and
4:57:32exchanged a glance with several
4:57:33companions beside him. His gaze
4:57:35unconsciously drifted toward Lu Chuan,
4:57:38Brother Wu, Mad Dog, Lu, and the others.
4:57:41Give up. With just these 200 rounds and
4:57:43one gun, we still can't beat them.
4:57:46Besides, even if we come out alive, they
4:57:48will immediately come over and take
4:57:50these weapons away. a test slave said
4:57:52desparingly in a low voice. Even with
4:57:54firearms in hand, facing transcendence
4:57:57with all kinds of terrifying sequence
4:57:59abilities still made people see no hope.
4:58:01The test slaves who had originally had
4:58:03hope rise in their eyes, all had their
4:58:05gazes dim again. But immediately a test
4:58:07slave comforted them. Don't be too
4:58:09pessimistic. Look at how many people
4:58:11died in the first question. 20. Only
4:58:14four survived. One of them was a
4:58:16transcendent. The other two women
4:58:18surviving was purely luck. If that
4:58:20slip-mouthed woman hadn't played the
4:58:21kill men, spare women game, they would
4:58:24have died, too. Yeah. Yeah. We neither
4:58:26have the powerful combat strength of the
4:58:28transcendent Ingu, who can instantly
4:58:30kill a goblin elite, nor Master Lynn's
4:58:33keen insight, which always lets him find
4:58:35a way to live in the death exam. Are we
4:58:37supposed to gamble on luck like those
4:58:39two women? Besides, look at this second
4:58:41death exam question. Among the three
4:58:43options, going to the dwarves shady
4:58:45workshop to work as free labor for 3
4:58:47months. He already called it a shady
4:58:49workshop. Won't women be used like
4:58:51livestock and men like forklifts? I'm
4:58:54afraid even if you come back alive,
4:58:56you'll be left with a body full of
4:58:58illnesses. Option A looks okay. But
4:59:00option B is even more fatal. Go to a
4:59:03wasteland world completely devoured by
4:59:05the strange and stare at the blood moon
4:59:07for 5 seconds. What's the problem? A
4:59:09destroyed world. Look at the red moon
4:59:11for 5 seconds and then come back. Just
4:59:14endure it and it'll be over, right?
4:59:16Endure your mother. Immediately, some
4:59:18relatively veteran test slave sneered.
4:59:21That kind of world is the most
4:59:22terrifying. And that so-called blood
4:59:24moon is very likely the source of the
4:59:26entire world's strange and destruction.
4:59:28Look up at it for 5 seconds and there's
4:59:30a high probability you'll be completely
4:59:32corrupted and polluted on the spot.
4:59:35Becoming one of the monsters and strange
4:59:37filling that world. As for C, this kind
4:59:39of ritual worshiping some unknown
4:59:41existence is extremely risky. And look
4:59:43at what's in the parenthesis after it.
4:59:45them. This shows that the severed finger
4:59:47requiring sacrifice was left by some
4:59:50existence far beyond our imagination.
4:59:52How deep the water behind it is cannot
4:59:54be predicted at all. But if you could
4:59:56please that one and receive some kind of
4:59:58reward, which part of your body would
5:00:00you prepare to sacrifice? Facing the
5:00:02question that test slave fell silent,
5:00:05everyone seemed to intentionally avoid
5:00:06one topic. Now 16 of the 20 exam desks
5:00:09were empty and needed people to fill
5:00:11them. They subconsciously shielded each
5:00:13other in front of themselves, afraid
5:00:15that when names were called, those at
5:00:16the front would be directly picked to go
5:00:18in and die. Even some test slaves who
5:00:20wanted to gamble their luck in A or C.
5:00:23At the thought of how absurd the first
5:00:25questions death rate was, even if the
5:00:27second question had option A, which
5:00:28looked like you could survive as long as
5:00:30you endured it, they did not dare make a
5:00:32decision lightly. The two female
5:00:34examinees sitting at their exam desks,
5:00:37who had survived by luck, were startled
5:00:39by the sudden sound. They looked over
5:00:41instinctively. They saw me, the only
5:00:43surviving male in the venue, glance at
5:00:45the new question on the huge exam paper,
5:00:48then calmly opened the 2 L bottle of ice
5:00:50cold cola, still giving off cold air,
5:00:52find a cup in the deluxe KFC bucket,
5:00:54pour myself a cup, and drink it all in
5:00:56one go. Ah, with this sip, a look of
5:00:59pleasure appeared on my cold, stern
5:01:01face, as if this sip of sweet water
5:01:03instantly washed away all the fatigue
5:01:05brought by the apocalypse. What a pity
5:01:07it's not a glass bottle where it would
5:01:09be even more refreshing. I murmured.
5:01:11Then I leaned back in the chair behind
5:01:13me. I reached my hand into the deluxe
5:01:15bucket. I took out a large crispy fried
5:01:17chicken leg still steaming. I bit into
5:01:19it. The tender juices inside burst in my
5:01:22mouth. In an instant, my mouth's taste
5:01:24after eating those hellish ingredients
5:01:26with indescribable flavors was reset. He
5:01:29actually still has the mood to eat and
5:01:31drink at a time like this. The two
5:01:33surviving female examinees looked in
5:01:35disbelief at me, who had just passed the
5:01:37first death exam question. They both
5:01:39remembered that six people had chosen
5:01:41the death option to go to the demon
5:01:42kitchen to cook food to please the demon
5:01:45hound. Now only I had returned, noticing
5:01:47their gazes. Master Lynn, is it really
5:01:50okay for you to eat like this? A
5:01:52somewhat timid-l lookinging woman said
5:01:53softly. Master Lynn, I paused slightly.
5:01:56I was now a master, too. Power really
5:01:58was a good thing, I said calmly. Eat and
5:02:00drink as you should. replenish energy
5:02:02for the coming death exam. Otherwise, if
5:02:05you die in there, these things on the
5:02:07table will just benefit someone else.
5:02:09But according to the rules, 70% of this
5:02:11has to be handed over," one female test
5:02:14slave said through gritted teeth,
5:02:16glancing at Lu Chuan and the group of
5:02:18transcendants. "Weigh the pros and cons
5:02:20yourself, make your choice, and bear the
5:02:22consequences." After saying that, I said
5:02:24no more. The two female test slaves
5:02:27gritted their teeth, looking at the
5:02:29fried chicken and ice cold cola on the
5:02:31table, giving off tempting aromomas,
5:02:33then glancing at the empty desks and
5:02:35chairs around them. They no longer cared
5:02:37about anything else. They took a golden,
5:02:39crispy, tempting chicken leg from the
5:02:41bucket and bit into it. They felt that
5:02:43this was what food meant for humans
5:02:45should be. They were so moved they
5:02:47almost burst into tears when a sip of
5:02:49cool, refreshing cola entered their
5:02:51mouths. They felt as if only at this
5:02:53moment were they truly alive. Ingu,
5:02:56shrouded in a black robe, glanced at me,
5:02:58then continued sitting upright. She
5:03:00raised her head to look at the question
5:03:01on the huge exam paper. Seeing that I
5:03:04had not taken off my mask to enjoy it.
5:03:06She felt a little curious but did not
5:03:08pay more attention. Seeing the two begin
5:03:10to wolf down their food, Mad Dog's face
5:03:12and the team instantly turned cold. He
5:03:14walked over here. You lowly test slaves.
5:03:17Have you all forgotten the team's rules?
5:03:19Hand over 70%. Only after giving the
5:03:21team enough is the rest yours. Although
5:03:23he said this to the two female test
5:03:25slaves, desperately stuffing food into
5:03:28their mouths. His eyes were fixed on me,
5:03:30who was eating elegantly but not slowly
5:03:32at all. Seeing Mad Dog approach, the two
5:03:35female test slaves who were wolfing down
5:03:37food initially had fear in their eyes.
5:03:39But as soon as they saw the 16 empty
5:03:41seats around them, they were no longer
5:03:43afraid that we survived this round was
5:03:45entirely luck. There are still two
5:03:47questions in this round of the death
5:03:49exam. Who knows what will happen next?
5:03:51Even if I die, I want to die with a full
5:03:53belly. One female test slave said with a
5:03:55cold smile. The other said nothing, but
5:03:58her meaning was self-evident. Mad Dog
5:04:00sneered. You'd better think clearly. Mad
5:04:02Dog really wanted to drag these two
5:04:04female test slaves who did not know
5:04:06death was near out right now. Pull them
5:04:08into a tent and punish them severely.
5:04:11But they were now sitting in the death
5:04:12exam seats. And he did not dare touch
5:04:14them at all. If he did, he would be
5:04:16treated by the death exam game as
5:04:18disturbing the exam order and directly
5:04:20erased. He gave a deep look at me as if
5:04:23I had not heard anything and said
5:04:24calmly, "Don't think that just because
5:04:26you now have a physique comparable to a
5:04:28transcendent, you can do whatever you
5:04:30want. Against a true transcendent, you
5:04:32are nothing but a slightly stronger
5:04:34ant." I turned my head to look at him.
5:04:36"If you want to kill me, you don't have
5:04:38to wait until we go to the next town.
5:04:40Enter the death exam now. Whatever I
