Return

When life gives rise to civilization, then life itself becomes uncivilized.

But where there are people, order will eventually emerge.

Therefore, the two choices for this objective are essentially just a difference between lawful good and lawful evil.

It's worth noting that there was a large-scale social experiment in history where, even if you threw all sorts of vicious criminals onto a deserted island, they wouldn't fight each other; instead, they would slowly establish a regime.

Yes, this "desert island" is called Australia.

For Lu Bai, choosing between the two objectives only requires selecting the simplest one to complete.

There's absolutely no need to worry about causing chaos by allowing his forces to act as they please.

That's a tangent, let's get back to the hotel.

Perhaps because they felt that Lu Bai had a good relationship with Brother Shrimp and Brother Shrimp Sister Shrimp, many shrewd individuals would choose to patronize the restaurant.

This has made the restaurant's business quite good recently.

In the semi-open kitchen, not only was Sister Shrimp busy, but even Ma Qingyun, also known as Brother Shrimp, did not wander around the streets as usual, but stayed in the store to help out.

As soon as Lu Bai entered the restaurant, many of the guests immediately recognized him.

Three or four customers who were eating immediately stood up and greeted him obsequiously.

"Master Bai, you've arrived?"

Good evening, Mr. Bai.

"Mr. Bai, please sit here. The view is beautiful."

Lu Bai raised his hand and pressed down, signaling them to relax a little.

Of course, no matter how amiable he appeared, his Spokesperson was undeniable, and the customers in the shop dared not relax too much.

Since this situation couldn't be corrected, Lu Bai simply let it go.

He then looked at Sister Shrimp, who was smiling at him from the kitchen, and said softly, "Give me a bowl of Shrimp Claypot Rice."

Sister Shrimp nodded vigorously, then bent down and got busy.

Ma Qingyun then walked out of the kitchen and led Lu Bai to a seat by the window.

"Brother Bai, this seat is reserved just for you. No one else can use it. You can sit here whenever you come to our restaurant in the future."

He wiped the water stains off his apron and explained with a smile, "I'm not trying to curry favor. You saved my sister back then, such a huge favor, I really don't know how to thank you enough, so this is just a small thing I can do."

Lu Bai sat down and, while the claypot rice was still serving, casually asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"It'll be the same old story. I'll do whatever makes money. I just want to save enough money to take my sister to get treatment."

Ma Qingyun smiled and sighed, "Life is unpredictable. If I told people that I once extorted Spokesperson, I doubt anyone would believe me."

Soon, Sister Shrimp came over with a tray carrying a steaming bowl of Shrimp Claypot Rice.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ma Qingyun noticed another group of people entering the store. Helpless, he said, "Brother Bai, please enjoy your meal. We're indeed a bit busy right now."

Lu Bai nodded. "Don't worry about me, you guys go about your business."

Ma Qingyun had only taken two steps when he turned back to look at Sister Shrimp, who was still staring blankly at Lu Bai, and called out in confusion, "Dong Mei, what are you doing? We have a guest."

Sister Shrimp snapped out of her daze, blushing as she ran back to the kitchen.

After the brother and sister left, the area became quiet.

Lu Bai didn't mind at all, and slowly savored the Shrimp Claypot Rice.

However, before he had even finished half of his meal, he abruptly put down his chopsticks.

Because a familiar mechanical notification sound rang in his mind.

[Bite!]

[Objective Mission Two: The Sinful City of Night (Completed)]

[This Deathmatch Showdown will end in thirty seconds. Please remain in place and do not move.]

Because of Lu Bai's presence, the dining environment inside the restaurant was not too noisy. Most of the customers, even if they wanted to talk, did so in whispers, afraid of disturbing him.

He looked at the packed restaurant in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

"It's over."

The next second, the world froze, then shattered.

[Bite!]

[The fourth Deathmatch Showdown has ended; the return begins.]

[Settling in progress--]

[Settlement complete.]

[Final ranking of Deathmatchers: 1]

[Total Deathmatch Points: 218 (Double points active)]

[Top ten rewards have been distributed]

[First prize reward has been distributed]

[Performance in this Deathmatch Showdown: Unbelievable]

[If you perform well, you can permanently retain one ability gained in this Deathmatch Showdown.]

[Reward details can be viewed in the Data Panel.]

A luxuriously decorated room.

The room was incredibly quiet, and the gentle piano music soothed the soul.

However, the power that filled his body dissipated instantly, making his body feel somewhat heavy.

Fortunately, after returning to the real world from the Deathmatch Arena several times, Lu Bai had become quite familiar with this bizarre experience.

Without dwelling on it too much, I recovered.

He stretched, scanned his body, and made sure there was nothing strange on him.

He then got up, went into the bathroom, washed his hands, and then stretched and lay down on the expensive bed.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, and checked the rewards for this Deathmatch Showdown.

[Deathmatch Arena ID: 84****1970]

[Username: Clever Mephisto]

[Main title equipped: Innocent Smile (Two Star)] (Click to view available titles)

[Subtitles already equipped: Frenzied Slaughter (4-star), Ultimate Murderer (4-star)]

[Talent: 103.8 + 21.8 (1 point can be converted into 0.1 talent, currently in the process of conversion, estimated time: seven days)]

[Abilities:?, Flash Time, Ink Dye (Click to select)]

[Comment: Such extraordinary talent ranks among the top geniuses even in the grand scheme of history.]

Lu Bai didn't check the newly acquired title, but instead opened the ability selection section.

[Shave Head and Kill Uncle (Silver)], [Mental Time Chamber (Color)], [Six Senses Enhancement (Gold)].

Strictly speaking, this Deathmatch Showdown's three abilities could be considered the least difficult to decide.

Neither the [Shave Head and Kill Uncle] nor the [Six Senses Enhancement] held any appeal for Lu Bai.

Without a moment's hesitation, he chose the [Mental Time Chamber].

In comparison, given his ridiculously high talent stats, the [Mental Time Chamber] might actually have some surprising effects in certain Deathmatch Arena with cultivation systems.

After retaining his abilities, Lu Bai turned and opened the two titles he had acquired.

Hidden titles cannot be obtained repeatedly, and he did not specifically seek out those hidden achievements.

After this Deathmatch Showdown, he naturally only received the titles and rewards of first place and top ten.

For him, this title is basically a star-up material.

But,

That's enough.

"Not bad, at least it adds a color ability and increases my talent level."
