New Birth Festival

The top ten Deathmatch Showdown will receive a One Star title, while the first place winner will receive a three-star title.

Although Lu Bai didn't intend to wear it, he still patiently took a couple of glances.

[Gangster Godfather (One Star): Slightly increases the loyalty of his subordinates.] (Top ten reward, generated based on his style of action in Deathmatch Showdown, can be equipped)

[Future Warrior (3-star): Others will think you have a bright future.] (Ranked first reward, randomly drawn from the pool of titles below 3 stars, can be equipped)

Putting aside the two newly acquired titles, Lu Bai's original title inventory already included [Because He Is Good (One Star)] and [Slay Heaven Destroy Earth (Four Stars)].

[Innocent Smile] happens to be a Two Star title.

There's not much to say. He decisively combined the two One Star titles into Two Star title, then combined it with [Innocent Smile], and then combined it with [Future Warrior].

In one go, all three titles were used up.

Instead, there is a four-star [Innocent Smile].

After all, one principal and two secondary titles are allowed, meaning a person can only wear a total of three titles.

Lu Bai can certainly continue to synthesize the four four-star titles he has.

However, considering that the title "[Slay Heaven Destroy Earth]" has such a strong and obvious murderous aura that it's impossible to keep a low profile once you wear it.

Therefore, Lu Bai prefers to keep the title "[Innocent Smile]", as it is more flexible.

Replace it when needed.

It's worth mentioning that, apart from the three hidden titles related to killing, Lu Bai didn't actually feel any benefit from the other titles.

In particular, the [Innocent Smile] skill, which increases luck, doesn't seem to make any real difference even after being upgraded to four stars.

In Lu Bai's view, it only served as a form of psychological comfort at best.

After summarizing the gains from this Deathmatch Showdown, Lu Bai pressed the button on the wall.

Almost instantly after the button was pressed, a sweet female voice came from the room's speakers.

"Hello, Team Leader Lu, this is Qu Yawen from the Internal Affairs Department. Congratulations on completing the Deathmatch Showdown. Would you like some psychological counseling?"

Out of respect for the privacy of the deathmatch participants, starting from the fourth round of Deathmatch Showdown, no further detailed questioning will be conducted with the participants.

At most, we'll register the Deathmatch Arena number so that we can quickly gather information when necessary.

After exchanging a few words with Qu Yawen, Lu Bai opened the door and went into the hallway.

The Desheng Tower was designed to facilitate Deathmatch Showdown among the school's faculty and staff, so it's clear that Lu Bai wasn't the only one engaging in Deathmatch Showdown at the same time.

In the corridor, you could also see four or five other deathmatchers like him, who had just come out of the room.

Most of them were middle-aged, possessing the same contradictory qualities as Liang Fuzhong: the toughness of a soldier and the affability of a scholar.

In addition, a group of staff members in protective suits hurried into the venue.

Following instructions from their superiors, they opened some of the closed doors and entered the rooms to carry out the cleaning work.

It's important to note that even if a fighter dies in the Deathmatch Arena, their body will still return to the real world.

No matter how horrific the situation in the Deathmatch Arena, it will be faithfully reproduced in the real world.

Severing limbs and beheadings are already considered relatively mild; some are simply piles of blood and gore, and others are outrageous deaths that push the limits of psychological endurance.

Each member of the cleanup team is a regular at the psychological counseling department.

Lu Bai stood in the corridor for a while before turning his gaze away and leaving Desheng Tower.

All he could say was that these cleaning staff deserved high salaries, and no one else would be envious.

As a genius of unprecedented talent in the history of the Zudian Campus, Lu Bai was naturally summoned by Pu Xueli after completing his Deathmatch Showdown.

However, Pu Xueli was more interested in connecting with his genius and didn't pay much attention to the details of the Deathmatch Showdown.

Lu Bai didn't mind this at all. By chatting with Pu Xueli, he could learn some hidden inside information, such as news about Can Society.

As the principal of a deathmatch school, the information he reveals is not something you can find online.

Pu Xueli picked up his teacup, took a sip, and as if he had thought of something, said to Lu Bai, "Next month New Birth Festival. If you don't have any plans, why don't you bring your younger brother and sister to my house for dinner?"

"Ah?"

Lu Bai was stunned for two seconds.

He actually did know about it.

This so-called New Birth Festival was a festival established during the Underground City era.

To celebrate the rebirth of their race, people decided to designate the day they moved to the Underground City as New Birth Festival.

If every holiday is composed of tragedy and lies, then New Birth Festival represents the painful experiences of the human race.

But humans are ultimately forgetful. As time went by, people almost forgot the pain behind this festival, leaving only joyful celebration.

Therefore, as one of the few major festivals in the Underground City Era, the importance people attached to New Birth Festival's Day was not much less than that of the Spring Festival in the pre -Underground City Era.

"Don't blame me for investigating you. After all, I'm the principal, so I'm bound to want to know about your family situation."

Pu Xueli made no attempt to hide anything and said directly, "Since you don't have any elders left in your family, why don't you come to my house? It'll be more lively. My wife is an excellent cook; others would love to eat her food."

"We'll see. I'll ask my younger siblings when I get back."

Lu Bai stood up, yawned, and said, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Pu Xueli curled his lip. "Remember to close the office door when you leave."

It was nearly evening when I left the Zudian Campus.

Instead of returning home, Lu Bai took a detour in another direction.

Walking on the streets of the Livability City, he took out his phone and opened his text messages.

[Truth or Dare to be answered tomorrow night at 8 PM.]

I received this message yesterday, and of course he's here today to keep the appointment.

"However, this seems a bit early."

It's 6:20 now, almost two hours until 8:00.

Although such clubs don't have rules about deducting performance bonuses for being late or leaving early, theoretically speaking, since it's a clandestine organization, arriving early wouldn't be appropriate.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Bai deleted the text message, randomly found an internet cafe near a Truth or Dare, and went in to pass the time.

In the Underground City era, people's travel was restricted, but the demand for entertainment always existed.

This has led to the flourishing of various online entertainment formats, such as online games and live streaming.

Furthermore, the regulations in these areas are quite lax. When Lu Bai opened a live streaming software that came with his computer, he could even see people live streaming the act of making babies. It can only be said that sex truly is the primary productive force.

Lu Bai hadn't been looking for long when a hooded man suddenly approached him.

"Hey bro, wanna play?"
