Wisdom Tooth

There are fifteen minutes left until the Countdown to the second room ends.

"Permanent trauma?"

Luo Di looked at his right arm, which he used to retrieve the key. The ulcerated area had been repaired and the skin had been filled in, but his ring finger and little finger were unresponsive.

Within a short period of contact with the liquid, the nerves corresponding to the two fingers were completely destroyed.

Moreover, although the other fingers can move, they are also affected to some extent, either numb or somewhat unresponsive.

Furthermore, Luo Di cannot replace the structure of the fingers in any way.

For example, if you try to fill the gap with tentacles, the tentacles themselves will lose their connection.

A closer look reveals a question mark structure branded on the arm joint. This structure keeps the "finger inactivation" effect in effect until the game ends.

However, these two fingers had little impact on actual combat, and the price Luo Di paid was relatively small.

The Tooth Child's condition was several times more serious than his.

The entire body is covered in sores, and although the wounds are filled by the dental structure, they are difficult to form a cohesive whole.

Both arms are currently known to be inactive, hanging limply in front of the face and unable to be raised. There is partial facial paralysis, and problems with biting are also present.

Multiple internal organs are damaged, leaving the body in a semi-weak state.

The only good news is that he can still walk and get to the next room.

Given the injuries caused by this Mr. Question Mark, it's estimated that none of the monsters among the participants could handle or heal them.

Luo Di briefly analyzed the current situation, "Is this the real purpose of the final level?"

The Event Difficulty. Although they won't kill you, they will cause irreversible physical injuries to some extent.

The accumulation of injuries will inevitably affect the final championship victory.

Once this is realized, the decision of "whether to open the envelope" becomes crucial, and most participants will likely choose to fight it out.

At least killing another contestant won't incur Mr. Question Mark's 'curse,' and the person killed was originally a competitor, so a winner and loser would be decided sooner or later.

Facing such challenges, the already unfamiliar pair will find their conflicts escalating.

Mutual killing is the optimal solution...

Luo Di looked at the crippled Tooth Child, glanced at the remaining time in the room, and made his decision.

"Tooth Child..."

"Mr. Di?" Despite having both arms crippled and his body rotting, Tooth Child responded immediately.

"You can't keep going like this until the end, and the price you'll have to pay in the next room will probably be even higher, so I have a suggestion."

"Okay, go ahead."

The Tooth Child opened his eyes wide and listened very attentively.

"When I examined your brain just now, I discovered the root cause of your memory blockage. I can now help you erase it completely and restore your memory."

And you also have the right to access your own memories.

Once you regain your memories and know your name, then you can make judgments and decisions about what comes next.

Should we simply abstain here?

"Come with me to the next room, or we can continue cooperating to open the letters, or fight each other."

"Memory... name... past... is it really possible?"

"It should be possible."

"Good."

The Tooth Child, who had always been calm and hadn't made a sound even when severely eroded, suddenly became excited, with all the teeth in his body trembling slightly.

He kept trying to recall the past, but he couldn't remember anything. He only knew that the bracelet was very important and that he needed to wear it on his wrist at all times.

Luo Di approached Tooth Child and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Alright!"

Place your palm on it, and the tentacles will burrow in.

Luo Di focused all his attention on the tentacles, which rippled with gray light, and streaks of moonlight formed on their surface.

Carefully, we entered the brain, approaching the area shrouded in Thick Fog, trying our best not to affect the Tooth Child's brain function.

Moonlight shone outwards from the surface of the tendrils, and just as it was about to part the clouds and mist...

A sound from outside came from inside the room.

'Participant Tooth Child, has abstained.'

"What?" Luo Di was stunned for a moment, and even the Tooth Child himself was stunned, obviously his master had chosen to abstain from the game.

Clearing the mysterious Thick Fog from the brain is no easy task, and Luo Di had timed it perfectly; it would take at least ten minutes to get it done.

With Tooth Child's withdrawal, a black hole appeared behind him, and he would be sucked into it in less than five seconds, returning to the waiting area.

Luo Di knew very well that once Tooth Child was taken away, it would be difficult to see him again, and as a slave, his memories might be permanently sealed away.

With a burst of force from its tentacles, Luo Di scraped away the densest patch of mist from the surface of the hippocampus—that was all it could do.

Remove the tentacles before the last second, otherwise Luo Di might be removed as well, ending the challenge.

Just before the black hole disappeared, Luo Di saw an excited, smiling face. Tooth Child opened his mouth full of teeth and screamed:

"My name has the character 'white' in it! Mr. Di, thank you..."

Something was thrown out before the black hole disappeared.

Luo Di reached out and caught it.

A pair of teeth,

A pair of flawless Wisdom Tooth, without any deformities due to impaction, perfectly white and shiny, with a few bloodstains at the roots.

"Wisdom Tooth? It's a tooth that he pulled out of his own mouth, not an extra tooth, but a tooth that he'd had since birth, right?"

Luo Di could clearly sense a unique life force within the Wisdom Tooth, and even some of it belonged to the pituitary gland.

"They actually gave me something so precious? The value of this tooth is almost equivalent to a piece of my Old Spine."

Perhaps because of the recent in-depth collaboration, my right arm experienced the feeling of fused teeth.

The two Wisdom Tooth I was holding reacted, trying to take root inside my right hand.

Luo Di did not reject this kind of rooting behavior; on the contrary, he actively accepted it.

Once the tooth has taken root, the process isn't over yet.

One by one, dental nerves burrowed into Luo Di's body, heading towards the head area with a strong sense of purpose.

Luo Di still didn't stop the dangerous behavior, letting the nerves travel to his head. These dental nerves weren't connected to the brain, but rather to the mouth.

Click!

A sound came from his mouth.

The impacted Wisdom Tooth that was growing horizontally in Luo Di's mouth immediately fell out. He spat it into his hand, looked at the crooked and broken Wisdom Tooth, and threw it away with a look of disgust.

The perfect Wisdom Tooth that Xiaobai gave me, which was firmly rooted in my palm, has disappeared, and even the wound has healed completely.

A commotion arose in his mouth.

What followed was an unprecedented feeling of comfort, as something entirely new grew in the empty gum root that had been vacated by the loss of the Wisdom Tooth.

It was those two special, perfectly formed Wisdom Tooth.

The pituitary remnants stored between the Wisdom Tooth were immediately exposed to the moonlight, stained gray, and assimilated... turning the tooth into a subordinate structure of the pituitary gland.

Even the entire oral cavity has become the direct jurisdiction of the pituitary gland.

The tongue, sealed away by Mr. Question Mark, may be suppressed with teeth in the future, which can be considered a pleasant surprise before it sprouts.

More importantly,

Luo Di's teeth have become excellent, and he can't wait to bite into something to eat.

Since there was no rule against damaging the environment, he took a bite out of the central stone platform and snapped it open, easily creating a chip. He could even chew the stone with ease.

The implantation of two Wisdom Tooth brought about a qualitative change in the entire set of teeth.

that's all,

By the time the Countdown the second room ended, the basement-style room was covered in teeth marks, with teeth marks and gaps remaining in almost every place that could have been bitten.

Inside the waiting area,

When Hua Yuan saw this scene, she was somewhat moved. She was not happy that Luo Di had gained a special promotion. Instead, she looked at her bear and quickly covered it with her hands.

And the audience area not far away,

The recently eliminated Tooth Child is standing next to a mysterious person, smiling as he looks at Luo Di on screen, and slightly clenching his fist to cheer him on.

Luo Di stepped into the next room alone.

He was ready to meet his new teammates and ready to fight.

The monsters that can get past the first two rooms must be the elite of the elite.

Luo Di's only hope was that he wouldn't encounter that Innate Monster beforehand.

Buzz!

This is a room that resembles a shop.

Before Luo Di could even survey the room, he spotted his "partner" playing with a metal balance scale, her golden hair cascading over her shoulders.

"Luo Di, is he here...?"
