This Death Feigning, So Lifelike

This black book has very few words, but what can be seen from it makes one tremble. This game seems to be more than just a sandbox evolution, a Spore-like species development. Their current exploration of the entire sandbox game seems to have only scratched the surface.

"This is awesome! This game is amazing, it must be!"

"At first, I thought this kind of sandbox game, although very free, would be weakest in its background setting, but this game's background setting is a bit awesome!"

"Quick, quick, time's up, close the book, the Giant boss is back. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, kill the boss first!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

In the distance, a tall and majestic Ten Thousand Feet Giant was slowly approaching.

Xu Zhi returned with his lunch box.

Naturally, he didn't know that his hurried departure had allowed those Sand Sculpture Players to stir up trouble, secretly reading his Experiment Diary.

These people thought it was a hidden plot, excitedly discussing it, and even imagining the game world's background setting, wildly making up all sorts of things, already frantically praising the game planner.

"Chen Xi's matter is settled, comforted her about the long-distance relationship. So, now I can start testing the new species, and settle the score with that Mount Akina Speed brother."

He returned to the sandbox.

The miniature mountains and rivers were silent. The bizarre species that had been running and screaming in the face of the Giant were gone.

Obviously, they had all taken the opportunity to hide on the chair, preparing to plot against Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi didn't care. Following his normal routine, he slowly returned to the chair, opened his lunch box, and began to eat, wanting to see what they would do to him.

"Let's see what's for lunch today." Xu Zhi sat on the chair and opened the lunch box, revealing the usual delicious Vegetable Love Dinner: carrots, fried eggs, and green vegetables, all very appetizing.

At that moment, his arm suddenly felt a slight pain.

A group of strange-looking insects were biting his arm hard, like mosquitoes.

"So that's how it is? A feint?"

Xu Zhi smiled, instantly understanding their plan: let the insects bite him, and while he was swatting the insects, let some highly poisonous species take the opportunity to sneak into his lunch box and poison him.

"Lowering the pain sensation, then self-destructing, using their lives to attract my attention, to buy time for Mount Akina Speed's poisonous species to sneak into the lunch box." Xu Zhi laughed.

A good plan. As expected of a group of hardcore veteran players who frequently run dungeons. In order to take down him, this Giant boss, they instantly devised the best tactic.

He revealed a faint, devilish smile: "Insect Nest Sub-Brain, forcibly increase their five senses, set the pain sensation to 50%."

One hundred percent sensation would be the real feeling from reality. Experiencing death once in the game would also allow them to feel the intense pain of that death in reality.

Letting them experience true death once would be too much of a punishment. After all, Xu Zhi wasn't a demon.

But even fifty percent of the feeling of death would be enough to leave them paralyzed, in excruciating pain, leaving a nightmare impression for the rest of their lives after they died once.

Pa! After forcibly increasing the pain sensation, Xu Zhi naturally swatted the insect to death.

"Ahhh!!!" The player who had been swatted into scarlet paste instantly felt a sharp pain.

The pain, comparable to the ancient ten most cruel tortures, made him scream like a pig being slaughtered, so shrill that it made the surrounding players' hair stand on end.

"The five senses, didn't I set them to zero?"

When he exited the game, took off the VR Glasses, he was covered in sweat, panting heavily.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat, his muscles twitching wildly, falling into intense spasms, because the feeling and pain of dying in that game was too real. He was almost exhausted.

At this time, the other players in the game were unaware of this, and silently gave a thumbs up.

"666! This brother, you acted so realistically to kill the boss. The screams of this insect when it died were infused with soul!"

"This big brother was so enthusiastic on his first try. Well, I'll bravely sacrifice myself too." A player laughed, very pleased with himself. "Watch me! I'll bring my species up, and I'll scream even more miserably, even more realistically!"

"Big brother, we're counting on you."

"On the first day of our Second Beta Test, we have to have a tank to risk their lives to attract aggro in the 'Giant Chair Dungeon' to kill the boss."

This player received praise from the people around him, and was very smug. He quickly climbed out of the chair, specially lowered the pain sensation to zero, and secretly ran to Xu Zhi's arm with his species, imitating the previous one, about to take a hard bite.

Pa! Before he could bite down, he was slapped hard.

The monstrously huge palm was like the Five Finger Mountain, covering the sky and the sun, waving down.

With one slap, he was turned into meat paste.

Aaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

It hurts so much!!

That insect let out another heart-wrenching, crazed scream.

This sound was indeed even more tragic than the last one. It was as if he was experiencing the most horrific pain in his life. Just listening to the scream made one's skin crawl.

"666!"

"This brother died so realistically!"

"He definitely acted more like it than the last one, and screamed even more tragically!!"

The surrounding people listened and cheered! They were beyond hyped!

Look! What is called an acting emperor?

This is it! This brother acted so well, he died so damn realistically!

They couldn't help but applaud. This one was clearly putting his soul into the performance, and was truly doing his best to push the giant boss.

"Brothers, this time, I'll switch to attracting the boss's aggro. Those two were screaming too exaggeratedly after being slapped to death. That's too fake. The giant boss will also feel that something is wrong. This time, I'm going to perform a tough guy insect, sacrificing myself heroically, and I won't scream no matter how badly I'm beaten!"

Another insect quickly crawled out of the chair, slowly climbed onto Xu Zhi's arm, and was about to take a bite.

Smack! Flesh and blood blurred, turning into a pile of minced meat.

Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!

It hurts so much!!

He let out an even more miserable scream than the previous two.

The wails resounded throughout the sky, so miserable it was life-threatening, and then cruelly doused with Wind Oil Essence. The pain was indescribable.

"Brother, your acting style, it's not right!"

"Didn't you say you were going for a tough guy image? Why are you screaming so miserably too?"

"Probably a goofball, probably doing a reverse moe thing in front of us."

The surrounding people shook their heads when they saw this scene, and didn't suspect anything else. They continued to huddle in the corners of the chairs, quickly fighting the boss and formulating strategies.

Along with the three insects attracting the monsters and sacrificing themselves heroically, that "stupid" giant boss was only focused on slapping the insects, and didn't notice the Funeral Chicken sneaking closer and climbing up his pants, about to reach the lunch box.

"Next to attract attention, I'll do it! I'm not that goofball just now, let me play a real tough guy insect! When I die, even if I'm slapped into a bloody mess, even if my limbs are separated, I will never scream."

Smack! Slapped to death with one palm.

Waaaaaah waaaaah!!!! It hurts so much!! In an instant, his heart-wrenching scream came.

This time, he screamed even more miserably. The hoarse, loud scream pierced the sky, and it hurt just listening to it.

"Hmph, what happened to the tough guy insect? Turns out... Zhen Xiang! But his acting is too realistic, like he was really slapped into meat paste, instantly experiencing inhumane torture. We have to give him a thumbs up!"

"Thumbs up!"

"Thumbs up!"

Everyone whispered to each other, discussing.

At this time, another player came out, the freak with five arms, named "My Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, Wanting to Evolve into a Kun". He was quite well-known among the players. He just shook his head calmly, his face serious, "Brothers, I, Deformed Little Prince, am different from them. Watch me perform a real tough guy!"

This time, a truly reliable one is on stage! The minds of the people were slightly settled.

This player had been with everyone for a while, and knew that his personality was calm, not like the previous goofballs. He was very serious and would definitely not lie to everyone. It was estimated that he would perform a real tough guy image.

"See me, the wind is rustling, the Yi River is cold, once the hero departs..."

Smack! Another slap.

Waaaaaahhhhh!!!! Pain, pain, pain, pain!! He let out an even more miserable, loud scream.

His deformed species was slapped into a bloody mess, even his arms were slapped off, even the five deformed arms were slapped into mashed purple eggplant, with disgusting black juice, a sticky puddle of blood, even the head and arms could not be distinguished, the corpse looked miserable.

At the same time, his heart-wrenching scream was extremely tragic, making the scalps of a group of strangely shaped insect players huddled in the corner go numb.

Players: "??????"

Is this a tough guy?

He's screaming more miserably than anyone else; does this big shot have some misunderstanding about what a tough guy is? The players couldn't help but be stunned, silent for a full ten-odd seconds.

They suddenly looked at each other, bursting into brilliant smiles. "Who would have thought this person, who's usually so serious, would joke around with us? These people, what kind of game are they playing? They should go act in movies; they could win an Academy Award. It's a real waste of talent."

"Yeah, yeah, the way they're pretending to be dead is so realistic!"
