Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough-Chapter 13: The Frenzied Auction—She Has Plenty of Time to Regret

After finishing his trash talk, Lu Ce, satisfied with his current strength, even gave a thumbs-up to the guy whose leg he had just chopped off.
He didn’t seem to think anything was wrong. Having already experienced superhuman strength, he had mentally prepared himself for the changes coming to this world.
But others didn’t see it that way.
His livestream exploded! The audience’s emotions were even more intense than when they had watched Lu Ce’s gruesome, self-inflicted saw amputation.
After all, for them, this was the first time seeing someone actually use Extraordinary Power!
The allure of raw power has always been number one, far surpassing money and authority.
【: Holy sh*t, amazing! Did I just see what I think I saw? Am I hallucinating?】
【: That was definitely Superpowers, right? What kind of power is that?! He sliced through someone’s leg in one go with a rusty saw?!】
【: I was talking too loud just now—big boss, you’re insane! Any chance I can get your contact info? You don’t seem to check your chat much!】
【: This is the true charm of this Game, isn’t it? If Superpowers are real, I want to try too. Life-or-death? Bring it on.】
【: I just checked out other Players’ streams—most aren’t going through anything this brutal. This boss just happened to land in a Hell Mode Game Instance!】
【: Fortune favors the bold!】
【: Stop acting tough. Would you dare take a saw and cut off your own leg?】
The livestream chat instantly became explosively active. The audience, who had previously sat on their high horses just wanting to be spectators, were now restless. Their earlier fear and hesitation were thrown aside.
People were already trying to get Lu Ce’s contact info, wanting to meet him in the Real World.
Some even claimed to be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, eager to recruit Lu Ce under their wing.
Sitting in front of the screen, Kong Bai silently shook his head.
People were finally starting to realize the gravity of the situation.
And this was just the beginning. Lu Ce’s current power, while supernatural, still resembled a human’s.
The real chaos would come when people saw someone flying through the skies, summoning storms with a wave of their hand.
Yet, amidst all the hype and madness, someone finally noticed something was off.
【: Wait... don’t you guys think something’s weird?】
【: He obviously has the power to chop off a leg instantly, so why did he slowly saw through his own leg earlier?!】
……
The chat froze.
As soon as that weak voice appeared, everyone fell silent.
Yeah, why the hell would he do that?!
He had the easiest method at his disposal, but he chose to torture himself?
He could’ve done a painless surgery, but instead, he
chose
to suffer?
Before, Kong Bai and the others could come up with various justifications for Lu Ce’s actions. But this bizarre contradiction left everyone completely stumped.
A bunch of self-proclaimed “analysis experts” sat in front of their screens, coming up with ten thousand theories, but none could explain why Lu Ce was so ruthless to himself.
Was he actually a masochist? Or just insane?
No way. A Perfect Completion Player—a top-tier boss like him—there was no way he was crazy!
There had to be some deeper meaning they hadn’t figured out yet. Time for more analysis...
But they would never figure out Lu Ce’s true intentions.
Because, in reality, he just wanted to rack up some Pain Points.
Below, the first person he had rescued had already disappeared into thin air—perhaps they had officially completed the Game.
Regardless, their disappearance sent a surge of excitement through the remaining captives still hanging in midair.
Before Lu Ce could even speak, the remaining players started shouting over one another.
“Boss, look at me! I’ll pay too!”
“I’ve got 200 Reward Points, plus a normal weapon I got from the Initial Game—I’ll give it to you!”
“As long as you personally chop off my leg!”
“I’ll pay you a ton of money after I get out—name your price, I’ll sign a blank check!”
“Chop mine! Chop my leg!”
“We’re all fellow Huaxia people, help me out, please!”
The same Players who had been too scared to say a word before were now buzzing with excitement, bidding for the chance to have their legs chopped off painlessly.
In this day and age, even amputating someone’s leg had become an auctioned service.
The Broken Window Effect never goes out of style. If you told people in normal circumstances to amputate their leg without anesthesia, they’d never accept it.
But after watching that rusty saw grind against Lu Ce’s leg for ten minutes, they suddenly saw a clean-cut amputation as a blessing.
Seeing the frenzy, Lu Ce didn’t refuse. He simply waited for the highest bid.
After all, Players who participated in the Initial Game but didn’t complete it still had some Reward Points left. Some had even signed Game contracts, promising to transfer their earnings to Lu Ce.
With the Greed Mask enhancing his mindset, Lu Ce had zero hesitation—he had fully embraced his role as a ruthless profiteer.
Cutting off legs? No problem, as long as they paid up.
By the end, he had received a Game Item he had never seen before, plus a pile of Reward Points and post-clearance bonuses. In return, he had chopped off leg after leg.
If this were Japan, he’d already be a legendary "leg-cutting saint.”
As screams filled the air, only four people remained hanging.
Two of them were completely paralyzed with fear, having given up all hope. Lu Ce had no interest in them. If they wanted to die, that was their business.
One former Perfect Completion Player gave him a final glance before suddenly disappearing—seems they had used an Exit Token from a previous Reward.
Finally, Lu Ce turned his attention back to the woman who had been screaming and cursing at him non-stop.
She had been quiet for a while now.
Seeing Lu Ce look at her again, she trembled in fear but still forced herself to speak:
“I’m warning you, if you dare—”
But this time, Lu Ce couldn’t be bothered to listen.
A flash of steel.
This time, Lu Ce sawed off his own bound leg.
His body dropped, landing on the platform below.
Reaching out to touch the edge of the platform, he looked up at the woman in midair, smiling as he said:
“The Lava... is almost here.”
Lu Ce’s figure vanished. Within seconds, the Lava flooded the platform.
In his final glimpse, he saw the woman finally realize the truth—her mouth let out a piercing shriek as she desperately reached for the swaying saw.
A wretched scream rang out.
But it was too late.
The Lava had already swallowed the platform—but not her.
She still had plenty of time to regret her choices.
But she no longer had a chance to change them.
People die from their own stupidity...
