Scrambling to Bid, She Has Plenty of Time to Regret

After Lu Ce finished his verbal sparring, satisfied with his current strength, he also gave a thumbs-up to the guy whose leg he had just chopped off.

He didn't seem to think anything was wrong. He had already experienced superhuman strength and had a psychological understanding of the impending changes in this world.

But others didn't see it that way.

Watching his livestream, the entire thing exploded! The viewers' emotions were even more intense than when they had watched Lu Ce's gruesome self-mutilation of sawing off his own leg.

After all, for them, this was the first time they had seen someone genuinely use "supernatural" power!

Raw power's appeal to people is always paramount, far surpassing so-called money and power.

[: Holy crap, amazing! What did I just see? Was I hallucinating?]

[: That was definitely a superpower, right? What kind of power is that! Using a rusty saw to cut a leg clean off?!]

[: I was speaking a bit too loudly just now, boss is amazing! Is there a chance I could get your contact info? The boss rarely seems to watch our streams!]

[: This is the charm of this game, right? If it's superpowers, I want to try too, even if it means risking my life.]

[: I just checked other players' streams, and most people aren't this miserable. This big shot just happened to encounter this kind of Hell difficulty game instance!]

[: Fortune favors the bold!]

[: Stop bragging, if I told you to saw off your own leg with a saw, would you dare?]

The livestream instantly became exceptionally lively. The crowd, who had previously been aloof and only wanted to be spectators, were now all itching to get involved. Their previous fear and various emotions were thrown to the back of their minds.

Some people were already trying to get Lu Ce's contact information, wanting to connect with him in the real world.

Someone even claimed to be the boss of a Fortune Global 500 company, wanting to recruit Lu Ce and bring him under their wing.

Kong Bai sat in front of the screen, shaking his head speechlessly.

People were finally beginning to realize the seriousness of the situation.

And this was just the beginning. Lu Ce's case was still relatively mild; although his superhuman strength was supernatural, he still looked human.

When scenes of flying, burrowing underground, and summoning wind and thunder with a palm appear, that's when people will truly go insane.

However, amidst the numerous praises and fanatical emotions, someone finally noticed something was amiss.

[: Wait... didn't you guys notice something's off?]

[: If he has the ability to instantly chop off a leg, why did he saw his own leg bit by bit before?!]

The barrage of comments suddenly froze.

After that weak voice appeared, everyone fell silent.

Yeah, why indeed, woc?!

He had the simplest method available, but he chose to torture himself?

I could have had painless surgery, but I didn't, I was just playing around?

Kong Bai and the others could find reasons for all his previous actions, but this inexplicable contradiction left everyone utterly baffled.

A bunch of "analysis masters" like Kong Bai sat in front of their screens, coming up with a thousand reasons for Lu Ce, but still couldn't explain why he insisted on being so harsh with himself.

Could it be that he was actually a masochist? Or was there something wrong with his brain?

How could that be? A player who perfectly cleared the game, a big shot like that, how could there be something wrong with his brain!

There must be some deeper meaning we haven't considered, let's analyze further...

They would never be able to figure out Lu Ce's deeper meaning.

After all, he genuinely just wanted some suffering points.

Below, the first person to be rescued had already vanished into thin air, it was unknown if their game had ended.

But in any case, his disappearance made the expressions of those still hanging utterly excited.

Lu Ce hadn't even spoken yet, and the voices of the remaining people started to ring out one after another.

"Big shot, look over here! I'm willing to pay too!"

"I have two hundred points, plus an ordinary weapon, all obtained in the initial game, I can give it to you!"

"As long as you come and personally chop off my leg!"

"Chop off my leg, and I'll give you money when I get out, lots and lots of money, you can fill in the checkbook!"

"Chop mine, come chop my leg."

"We're all Chinese people, come and help!"

The players who had been too scared to say a word before, now seeing such a painless method, all perked up and started bidding for leg-chopping services.

In this day and age, chopping off someone else's leg could even be auctioned.

The broken window effect never goes out of style. Normally, if you told people you'd chop off their leg without anesthesia, no one would accept it.

But now, after that rusty saw had been sawing at Lu Ce's leg for more than ten minutes, people suddenly felt that being able to chop off a leg directly was such a blessing.

Seeing the people scrambling, Lu Ce didn't refuse this time, just waiting for their higher bids.

After all, those who participated in the initial game and didn't clear it would also get some points. Some people had even signed agreements within the game to give their points from this game to Lu Ce as well.

Under the enhancement of the Greed Mask, Lu Ce had become Lu the Skin-Peeler without any psychological pressure. Chopping off legs was no problem, as long as people paid him.

In the end, he received a game item he had never seen before, along with a certain number of game points and promises of game points after clearing the stage. He had chopped off leg after leg.

If this were in Japan, he would have already been considered a Leg-Chopping Immortal.

After screams of agony echoed, in the end, only four people were still dangling in the air.

Two of them had been scared witless, seemingly having completely given up all hope of survival. Lu Ce couldn't be bothered to deal with them; their abandonment of life had nothing to do with him.

Another former clear-er glanced at him one last time before suddenly disappearing. It seemed he had obtained an exit coin from a previous reward.

Finally, Lu Ce once again looked at the woman beside him, who had been shouting non-stop, unable to grasp the situation, and always trying to insult him.

At this moment, she had been quiet for a while.

Seeing Lu Ce turn his head back again, she, who was already trembling with fear, spoke once more:

"I'm warning you, people like you, if you..."

But this time, Lu Ce couldn't be bothered to listen to her words anymore.

A flash of the blade, and this time, Lu Ce sawed off his own bound leg.

His body then fell, landing on the platform.

He reached out and felt around the side of the platform, smiling as he spoke to the woman in the air:

"The lava is coming very soon."

Lu Ce's figure then disappeared. Within a few breaths, the lava had already submerged the platform.

In his final peripheral vision, Lu Ce saw that the woman had finally woken up at the last moment. A sharp shriek erupted from her mouth as she desperately reached out for the swaying saw in the air. A mournful scream followed.

But it was too late.

The lava had swallowed the platform, but it hadn't swallowed her yet.

She still had ample time to regret, but no longer any opportunity.

People die because of stupidity
