Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough-Chapter 44: Not Cutting Off Hands is Unreasonable, Exit Token Trade

“Oh, you mean this...”
Lu Ce looked at his hand, and it seemed like he just noticed it, surprised as he said:
“Hm? What happened? What did I just do?”
“Emmm... but it’s fine, nothing major.”
Jiu Tian: ...
He was at a loss for words. From the surface, Lu Ce's injuries weren’t any lighter than Big Guy’s.
But for some reason, seeing these injuries on Lu Ce made it feel like it wasn't a big deal.
Maybe it was because Lu Ce was acting too relaxed about it.
At this moment, Lu Ce had already pulled out the Sharpened Blade from his backpack, looking at his hand.
“If I cut this off, will it affect the subsequent game progress?”
A large question mark appeared on the red mask, watching as he was seriously considering the question!
After all, in the last two games, he had sawed off his legs, and now thinking about cutting off his hands... it made the game feel a bit pointless.
“Hold on!” Jiu Tian quickly stopped him, afraid that this guy would really chop off his hand!
“Are you sure your state is fine?”
Jiu Tian asked cautiously, twirling one finger near his head.
Meaning, is his mind still under control?
He had the data from Lu Ce’s previous game and knew that this person might be a bit delirious, but his strength was immense, and beneath the madness, he hid a rather calm mind—cunning and greedy.
But now, it was clear that the strength and madness were visible, but the rationality was completely absent!
Also, he had just learned from the staff outside the game that Lu Ce’s injuries had a very... supernatural cause.
Could the intel really be correct? Where was that calm mind? This was looking more like a mindless person.
Or did the food and medicine here mess up his brain? Can we still cooperate with him?
“State? Not too good,” Lu Ce said, thinking while listening to the question, “I feel really hungry...”
As he spoke, the mask even showed a bit of a pitiful expression (#｀-_ゝ-).
Jiu Tian immediately had an expression of exasperation.
【: Hahahaha! So cute.】
【: So cute, I want to keep one. A strange contrast.】
【: You probably can't afford it, with this eating habit, even a rich man would be bankrupt.】
【: I think Jiu Tian is about to lose it. The big boss tortures the freaks in the hospital, then tortures teammates after he leaves, focusing on indiscriminate damage.】
“Ah... Ah! Damn it!”
Suddenly, Big Guy yelled in pain, clutching his shoulder and howling in agony.
He started convulsing violently on the floor, clearly unable to bear it.
It turned out that the basic healing potion in the game was top-tier biochemical technology, repairing the body in ways humans couldn't fully understand.
Even the basic version was extremely effective, but rapid muscle reconstruction, bone realignment, and secondary nerve connections all caused immense pain.
Big Guy was fine when only surface muscles were being repaired, but now that it was at the stage of nerve reconstruction, the pain was beyond what he could handle.
“Ahhhh! What is this?! Doesn’t this medicine have anesthesia?!”
“Oh? Is it really that intense?” Lu Ce watched, immediately taking out a bottle of basic healing potion from his backpack and pouring it onto his own hand.
Jiu Tian, watching the scene, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself: is this guy’s idea of treatment really that different from a normal carbon-based lifeform’s?
Big Guy was still screaming in agony, and his voice echoed through the room, sharp and ear-piercing, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more terrifying.
Hell 5 game was like this—brutal and agonizing.
Lu Ce was a bit disappointed though, because after waiting for a while, he didn’t gain any Pain Points.
It seemed that the pain from the healing process didn’t meet the trigger conditions.
“Damn it! I can’t stand it anymore! This damned place doesn’t have any information, what kind of damned checkpoint is this, no one’s ever beating this Hell mode game!”
“I... Wait, why can’t I open it?!”
Big Guy collapsed on the floor, venting his emotions. Suddenly, his voice was filled with terror.
“What can’t you open?” Jiu Tian asked in confusion.
“The shop... What’s wrong with the shop?! Why can’t I open it?!”
Big Guy’s voice was frantic, and he was no longer as enraged as before, sounding like a helpless child.
Jiu Tian looked at him oddly, answering:
“The game shop can only be opened outside the game to make purchases, and the items have to be loaded into your backpack to bring them into the game.”
“What? Didn’t the game officially remind us of this?”
“You didn’t know?”
Big Guy’s eyes were immediately overwhelmed by fear, his voice muttering repeatedly:
“What? When did they say this? Why didn’t I know?”
“So how do I buy exit tokens? What do I do now?!”
Jiu Tian’s expression stiffened, and he took a few steps back.
This was a Hell game, and everyone knew the high mortality rate. The reason everyone was staying calm was because of the exit token! Everyone present had completed the game before and bought that item.
At the end of the day, if things went wrong, they could exit, losing everything they earned in the game but at least saving their life.
They would still have their lives, so the players weren’t as fearful as when Lu Ce had encountered Hell mode the last time, when the newbie players had no exit option.
But to forget something so crucial?
Jiu Tian was left speechless, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
The atmosphere became quiet, and Big Guy’s eyes filled with despair, the mood becoming suffocating.
Suddenly, there was a sound like a coin flicking in the air, crisp and clear.
Everyone looked over, only to see that it was Lu Ce doing it. They were confused, wondering if the madman was just showing off or what?
Bullying a desperate player? Was that necessary?
“I’m hungry...” Lu Ce’s deep voice came, “Do you... have anything to eat?”
Jiu Tian’s confused mind suddenly remembered the description from his colleague about Lu Ce’s performance in the last game.
He was instantly enlightened and looked at Lu Ce in surprise, then turned his gaze to Big Guy.
“If you use the exit token, you’ll lose everything you earned in the game—whether it’s physical enhancements, superpowers, or points.”
“So... when it’s time to save your life, go all in to save your life!”
