Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 357 Dude, I have connections!

"Execute! Execute! Execute!"

A great deal of noise came from the audience.

These guys, who love watching a good show and never shy away from trouble, were actually aiming for a bloodbath.

Naturally, they wouldn't miss this opportunity to stir up trouble.

Nightmare looked at the ghost that had not only broken the rules but had also been beaten black and blue.

He slowly raised his microphone and smiled, "Dear viewers, our contestant has made a small mistake."

"But executing him directly would be too boring. I've decided his punishment will be to become an attacker!"

"Furthermore, you must unconditionally withstand one minute of attacks from the opposing attacker!"

"What do you think?"

This made the audience even more excited.

That's right, being executed directly is nowhere near as satisfying as being brutally beaten with real weapons!
Upon hearing this, the ghost's already pale face turned even green with anger.

His gaze glared fiercely at the Mongolian top laner.

It's all this guy's fault!
If it weren't for the opponent's inexplicable taunting skill.

How could he suddenly make a move that has put him in such a passive position?
That resentful look in her eyes made her look like a wronged woman, leaving the Mongolian top laner speechless with despair.

Brother, even though I activated the skill.

But wasn't it Brother Shengzi who suggested targeting you and even beat you up?
You dare to challenge this man? What kind of skill is it to hold a grudge against me?
This is absolutely terrible luck...

"We surrender!" Shadow said through gritted teeth.

The two zombie brothers not far away didn't object either.

The little zombie could also see that their side was doomed.

After all, besides enduring a minute of brutal beatings, the opponent's ability to keep producing the same pattern also left it feeling hopeless.

If you concede, you might be able to turn the tide in the next game.

However, the nightmare suddenly grew taller.

His originally kind expression resembled that of a demon crawling out of hell.

He grinned, revealing menacing fangs, and threatened, "Do you think this is child's play?"

"Admitting defeat is acceptable, but the punishment cannot be reversed."

"Let's talk about surviving the opponent's attacks first."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Youying saw Wu Wang shamelessly draw a broken sword.

This thing is perfect for dealing with spirits.

Although Youying was unaware of the special effects of [Xiaochuan].

But as a ghost, he was instinctively afraid of it.

It's obvious that this thing caused more than just bruises when it hit you.

It's more likely that it's pieced together from different places.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

An eerie laugh echoed across the stage, the difference being that this time it wasn't coming from ghosts or monsters.

Instead, it was that seemingly harmless male human.

Instead, the hideous and terrifying monsters, curled up in fear, cried out in despair:

"You...don't come over!"

Snapped--

Wu Wang's broken sword lashed out like a whip.

The pain originating from the soul caused the ghost's mournful cries to echo across the stage.

A continuous stream, undulating and stretching.

Occasionally, Wu Wang's arrogant laughter would be heard interspersed among them—

"Hahaha! Cry! Crying counts as time!"

"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!"

"..."

Even the contestants on the B stage felt a chill run down their spines when they heard that iconic villainous speech.

Not only must their lives be threatened, but they must also be subjected to psychological humiliation.

Damn it! There aren't any humans next door!
He's nothing short of a demon in human skin!
A minute is a very short time.

The show ended too soon before the audience had had enough fun.

But for Shadow, that minute felt like an eternity.

Although he barely survived Wu Wang's relentless bombardment.

However, its entire ghost skin has now been knocked off, and its form has become so transparent that it seems it might disappear at any moment.

He was basically hanging on by a thread.

To participate in subsequent games in this state.

Its death seems to be only a matter of time.

After the punishment period ended, Nightmare drifted to Wu Wang's side.

He raised his hand high and cheered, "Team A, Group 5, wins!"

"Please come over here and choose your spoils!"

After saying that, Nightmare waved his hand directly at Spectre and Gargantuar, who were still not fully recovered.

In an instant, countless chains appeared on the stage floor.

Fix these two duplicate creatures firmly in place.

Then, various round, bulging black balls suddenly flew out of thin air from the two zombies.

While everyone was completely bewildered.

Nightmare explained, "These are abilities that belong to the losers. What you get depends on your luck."

Upon hearing this, the already weakened Shadow nearly died on the spot.

So the reward given to the other party is simply taken directly from us?

Your production team is being incredibly stingy!
"Shrimp with pig's heart? That's terrifying!"

Wu Wang spoke in a sarcastic tone, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Although this dungeon is extremely dangerous, the corresponding rewards seem to be quite generous.

At least the [Alatreon Baby Tooth] that I obtained at the beginning actually appeared in my [Backpack].

Now we can actually get skills directly again.

Hehehe, that's so dirty!
Moreover, this is under the influence of the [Vision of Truth].

He could clearly see the abilities represented by those little black balls.

He attributed all of this to his own sweat and hard work.

The effort is with him.

The sweat is on someone else's head.

"【Copper Skin and Iron Bones】This is it."

After observing for a moment, Wu Wang reached out to a small black ball in front of Gargantir.

The moment it came into contact with the black sphere, it vanished into nothingness and melted into his hand.

The next second, a system notification from the game "Spirit Disaster" rang in my ears—

Congratulations on learning: Copper Skin and Iron Bones

【Copper Skin and Iron Bones (Premium): This effect is a passive skill that greatly increases the user's physical defense without altering the skin's suppleness】

[Note: Although they are impervious to blades and bullets, be careful of certain mutated plants, as their strength may be greater than that of weapons.]

The abilities of these two dungeon creatures are relatively pure.

It's basically all about stacking up numerical values; there aren't many underlying mechanisms.

Even if it exists, it's an ability that a shadow can only possess when it has no physical form.

Furthermore, Wu Wang currently has no shortage of offensive methods.

Therefore, there is no need to add any unnecessary things.

A high-quality item might be better than some useless epic items.

Wu Wang always believed that there is no best skill, only the most suitable combination.

I was facing a situation where I needed to complete the game in one life.

That would definitely be a priority to address defensive issues that I haven't paid attention to before.

After making his selection, Wu Wang even took out a dagger and slashed it hard at his own arm.

It was accompanied by a clanging sound, like metal colliding.

The sharp edge of that dagger was somewhat chipped.

However, there were only a few white marks on my arm, and I couldn't even feel any pain, just a slight itch.

It seems this ability is quite effective.

"Then...then I'll choose this one..."

The Mongolian top laner chuckled awkwardly and reached for one of the small black balls.

However, Wu Wang immediately interrupted his actions.

He pointed to the small black ball next to him and said, "Choose this one."

To be honest, it's very impolite to point fingers at other players when they choose rewards.

However, the other party was not angry about Wu Wang's actions.

Instead, she looked at him with gratitude and reached out her hand.

The Mongolian top laner was well aware of his luck.

As the saying goes, other people's choices are always better than your own.

You have learned: Soul Splitter Outer Body (can evolve)

【Soul Split Body (Epic, Evolvable): Briefly splits into a spiritual version of yourself. You can share vision and touch. Your attributes are 80% of the original body's. You can carry equipment and items.

[Note: It is best to practice multitasking before using this product, otherwise it may lead to mental instability.]

It's an epic skill that can evolve!
The Mongolian top laner almost collapsed to his knees and burst into tears.

This was the first time he had ever drawn an [Epic] level skill.

I just don't know what it will become after it evolves.

Sigh, given my luck, finding out the evolution conditions is just... "Oh, right, as for the evolution conditions, just come find me after you leave the dungeon."

"For the sake of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, I'll give you a 10% discount. Remember, don't go to the All-Knowing Person to ask. She's a middleman who makes a profit, and she's been playing tricks on contracts lately. I don't know where she learned to be so bad."

Wu Wang said in a very serious tone.

Let's temporarily ignore the incredible 10% discount offered by the Mongolian top laner.

The intensity of that gaze made Wu Wang feel a little uncomfortable.

They even started to suspect whether the other person had a problem with their sexual orientation.

A moment later, the Mongolian top laner took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Brother Shengzi! You are such a good person!"

Wu Wang: “?”

When did it become your turn to hand out "friend zone" cards?
Our relationship hasn't reached that point yet, has it?

After they finished extracting their abilities, the two dungeon creatures were also freed.

Feeling the loss of power within his body, Youying was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could devour the two people in front of him.

Gargantull was so angry that he clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground several times, but he ended up cutting his own skin and feeling a long-lost pain.

"Alright, both contestants, let's wait for good news from Stage B!"

"This is what I said, interrupting the nightmare of love, hate, and grudges here."

Everyone turned their attention to another battlefield.

There was no absolute suppression from Wu Wang's [Vision of Truth] over there.

The two sides fought fiercely.

I had already flipped through hundreds of patterns before.

However, the same parts only appeared a few times.

The injuries sustained by the four contestants in both groups are primarily due to various patterned attacks.

Among them, gummy bears suffered the most damage.

Although there are no visible injuries on the surface.

But he seems to have drawn a pattern for "Soul Cutting".

Now, his mental state is sometimes incredibly weak, and sometimes violent and cruel, and he is at risk of collapsing at any moment.

Neither group was actually playing that hard at the beginning.

It wasn't until we saw the defeat cutscene of Wu's side that we saw it.

In order to prevent their abilities from being taken away by the opponent, they are now doing everything they can to influence the other side.

The entire game lasted a full half hour.

Finally, after the gummy bears revealed the same pattern three times in a row, the game was successfully completed.

Fellow Daoist, please stay. They chose to surrender and admit defeat.

In the end, both the winner and the loser looked utterly disheveled.

This also kept the audience's emotions rising.

Keep in mind that this is just a warm-up game.

Therefore, they still have a chance to admit defeat.

Who knows what kind of outrageous rules will appear in the game in the future!

"Ladies and gentlemen! The warm-up games are over! But I bet you haven't had enough yet, have you?"

"Let's move on to the next step quickly!"

"Next up is—a grand competition of civilization!"

The nightmare transformed into a cloud of mist that swept past the audience.

Occasionally, a string of characters will be left on a sign held up by someone.

The creature that received his autograph was unusually excited.

It's clear that this guy is quite popular in the various dungeon worlds.

This time, after saying the name of the game, he didn't rush to explain the rules.

Instead, it floated up to the [Princess of Pleasure].

She excitedly announced, "This game is provided by the founder of the program's title sponsor, Joyful Princess, in collaboration with the powerful war company, War Lord."

Make a gesture of knightly kneeling.

He began, "Your Highness, would you please explain the rules of the game to our audience?"

"Everyone is fascinated by everything about you; even just hearing your voice can send us to a climax."

Clearly, there's a reason this guy became a TV host.

These words were so comforting to anyone who heard them.

Moreover, she was a princess whose primary purpose was pleasure.

She lazily stretched out her delicate, white arm, as tender as a tender shoot.

Nightmare handed over the microphone at just the right moment.

Then came a sound as melodious as a lark's song, a sound that soothes the soul.

"The Great Civilization Competition, as the name suggests, is not a battle fought by one person alone."

"Although the level of civilization varies greatly among the myriad worlds, it is quite a coincidence that many of the contestants in this episode come from the same civilization."

Their name is "humanity".

"Next, these humans will join the same camp as their kind who failed the selection process, while the other civilized beings will form the second camp."

"Both sides will fight against the avatars of power provided by the War Lord in two completely identical virtual primordial worlds."

"There is no time limit. The side that defeats the power avatar and has more surviving companions is the winner!"

After listening to Princess Joy's explanation.

The audience erupted in cheers.

They like to see things that have never appeared before.

This game format was clearly something the production team had never imagined before.

However, this also raised some questions among the contestants.

"Wait a minute, those who failed the preliminary selection? Aren't they all dead?" Fellow Daoist, please stay, asked with a frown.

They witnessed others dying by the campfire, bleeding from all seven orifices.

How come it suddenly came back to life?
Nightmare turned its head away in response.

He grinned and said, "If we followed the usual rules, they would indeed be dead, but this time there's a new game that needs them, so they're not completely dead."

"I have imprisoned the consciousness of those losers in the virtual world."

"The victorious side is also able to liberate the consciousness of its own kind."

"How about that? I'm very kind, aren't I?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang could no longer hold back.

Defeat the BOSS to rescue the human consciousness trapped in the virtual world.

I knew this guy was Kayaba Akihiko!

To be honest, this game didn't make players feel too tense.

After all, if all players are on the same side in the preliminary rounds.

The number of strange and unusual props and equipment that everyone had was simply countless.

No matter how special those dungeon creatures are.

In terms of the sheer number of methods available, they certainly can't compare to the players!

However, it seemed that he had guessed what everyone was thinking.

Nightmare said mysteriously, "This virtual world is different from the one before~"

"Things that don't belong to human civilization will be far less effective here!"

"What the audience wants to see is the gap between [humanity] and other civilizations."

"I hope you can still laugh later."

Upon hearing this, all the players except Wu Wang changed their expressions drastically.

What the hell does this mean?
It's essentially a dungeon that restricts equipment and items, forcing us to rely solely on human strength to fight against those monsters and demons.
Holy crap! What's the point of this competition?
Humans, with their fragile bodies, are doomed to lose, aren't they?

"Brother Shengzi..."

"Isn't this bad news? What are you laughing at?"

Suddenly, the Mongolian top laner noticed that Wu Wang, who was next to him, showed no concern.

Instead, he wore a smile, seemingly confident of success.

"Ah, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy."

Wu Wang came to his senses but did not look at the Mongolian top laner who had asked the question.

Instead, he exchanged a glance with the [Princess of Pleasure], who was languidly gazing into the air and exuding ultimate charm.

Just now, when the game rules were announced...

He could hear the other person's voice in his ear.

But what they heard was quite different from what everyone else had heard.

The big boss gave clear instructions in a private message—

“There will be a surprise if you use your broken sword to pierce the core of the Warlord’s power.”

"Perform well and provide more entertainment."

"To prove the value of the human scalpel."

This statement also implies that, in the eyes of the big boss, humanity is not necessarily going to lose.

There must be some way to break this deadlock.

Thinking of this, Wu Wang couldn't help but straighten his chest and raise his head even higher.

I looked at the group of dungeon creatures who were smugly convinced of their victory.

His eyes were filled with pity.

"It's pathetic that they're still laughing about it."

"Are you guys really that good at fighting? What good is being good at fighting anyway?"

"To get into this business, you need power and connections."

"Hey buddy, do you have anyone up there who knows?"
