Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Chapter 189 Humiliation and Stories!

Although the leader laughed at him, Bell was very happy that the leader was willing to introduce him to Fiora.

"Captain, what kind of person is Fiora?"

Since they were going to meet and get to know each other later, Bell wanted to learn more about Fiora from Lin Yu so that he wouldn't be at a loss when they actually met, so he started asking about various aspects of Fiora.

Lin Yu answered all of Bell's questions, giving Bell a basic understanding of Ais.

"Hey, Ais, it's about time we told everyone about that."

Just as Bell continued to ask questions, wanting to learn more about the Sword Maiden, from Loki's Familia, "Wolf" Bert downed his drink in one gulp and then loudly addressed "Sword Maiden" Ais.

Bert the wolf had a loud voice, which was especially noticeable even in the noisy tavern, and many people focused their attention on Bert, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"That matter?"

Ais was a little confused, wondering which matter Bert was referring to.

Bell, who was excitedly asking Lin Yu Ais about things, naturally heard Bert's voice. For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart and had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

"It's that incident, the last Minotaur that escaped on the way back. You took care of it on the fifth level, right?"

Bert the wolf stood up abruptly, his face flushed and his voice louder, clearly quite drunk.

"And then, there was this incredibly weak brat who got chased into a corner by the Minotaur. After you killed the Minotaur, the brat was covered in blood, looking like a bright red tomato."

Although he was drunk, Bert the wolf still told the whole story. After he finished, he laughed heartily, and many adventurers who were listening to Bert's story also laughed along, filling the entire tavern with laughter.

Almost everyone was laughing, but Bell wished he could disappear into the ground, because the protagonist of the story Bert was telling was him!

A few days ago, he encountered the Minotaur on the fifth floor. It was a genuine Iv2 monster, and he was no match for it. Just when he was cornered by the monster, the Sword Maiden Ais arrived, killed the monster, and saved him.

From that moment on, he was awestruck by the swordswoman's beauty and power, and developed a longing for her, so he ignored the fact that he had been frightened by the Minotaur and made a fool of himself.

But now, having his embarrassing moment exposed in front of everyone, especially in front of those who admire and idolize him, Bell felt utterly ashamed!

"The little brat screamed and ran away. Our princess was actually scared away by the person she saved! Isn't that hilarious?"

Bert the wolf continued recounting Bell's dark history, slapping his thigh and laughing as if it were an incredibly funny story.

"I think this is understandable; after all, he's just a novice adventurer."

Ais didn't find it funny at all. Isn't it normal for a newbie to be scared when they encounter an Iv2 monster?

Hearing the Fiora he admired defend him, Bell felt not happy, but even more upset.

Bell could bear the embarrassment of being mocked, but it was the people he admired who defended his weakness. It was the people who truly pained him that made him suffer. If the captain hadn't been there, he probably would have already fled.

"Enough, Bert. It was our mistake to let the Minotaur escape on the 17th floor. You shouldn't be talking about it."

"Nine Demon Princesses" Riveria was very unhappy that "Fierce Wolf" Bert used this as a topic of conversation, so she rebuked him.

"Ha, what's wrong with calling garbage garbage?"

Bert, already drunk, was quite displeased with Riveria's reprimand and even went further in mocking her.

"That weakling is utterly useless. If it were you, Ais, and you had to choose between me and that tomato brat, who would you choose?"

Bert asked Ais loudly.

"Haha, I think there's no need to answer at all. Those weaklings would never stand by your side, and Ais, you wouldn't let those weaklings stand by your side either!"

Before Ais could answer, Bert began to answer his own question.

Ais remained expressionless and silent, while Riveria looked exasperated, wishing she could sew Bert's mouth shut.

Meanwhile, on Lin Yu's side, Bell lowered his head, trembling all over. His pain and humiliation had reached their peak, and it wouldn't be surprising if he ran away at any moment.

"Bell, are you trying to run away?"

Lin Yu asked.

For any man, this situation would be a lifelong humiliation, but it is precisely because of this level of humiliation that it can become a powerful driving force to become stronger. That's why Lin Yu didn't stop the ferocious wolf Bert in the first place.

"Commander..."

'

Bell looked up at Lin Yu, his eyes red and glistening with tears, clearly indicating that this incident had been a huge blow to him.

"Bell, what happened today may be a big blow to you, but you can't run away from it. You must remember what happened today, remember the humiliation you are in now, and turn the humiliation into motivation so that you can achieve great things in the future."

"Yes... Commander."

Although he responded to Lin Yu, the pain on Bell's face lessened slightly. That's right, such straightforward words are hard to evoke empathy, so Lin Yu decided to tell a story.

"In my country, there was once a young man who loved military strategy and martial arts. He often practiced diligently, wanting to accomplish great things, but he never had the opportunity. One day, a butcher came to cause him trouble and told the young man, 'If you have the courage, draw your sword and fight me. If you are a coward, crawl between my legs.' Although he was skilled in martial arts, the young man still crawled between the butcher's legs. The others thought that the young man was a cowardly coward and laughed at him."

"But the young man remembered this humiliation and worked even harder. Later, he got the opportunity to become a great general, won countless battles, accomplished many great feats, and built a vast country for the monarch."

"Later, some people commented that, looking at the thousands of years of world history, very few people could compare with him in terms of military achievements, and none dared to say they surpassed him!"

While telling the story, Lin Yu deliberately raised his voice so that the entire tavern could hear it.

When Lin Yu finished telling his story, the tavern fell silent, and many people were savoring the tale.

The story of enduring humiliation by crawling between someone's legs has been passed down through the ages, which naturally has its appeal, or rather, it serves as a template for a satisfying and cathartic novel.

After being humiliated, one strives to improve oneself, achieves great success, and makes outstanding contributions. This is the classic template for a satisfying and fulfilling story. It has been overused in modern times, yet people still read it, let alone in a story like "The Lost Tomb 2: Danma".

Even ordinary hero stories have many fans in this world, let alone stories of humiliation.
