Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Inside a pure white space.

The red alarm light pulsed like breath, casting an unpredictable shadow on Lin Xiao's handsome face.

The gaze of billions of people around the world is like an invisible mountain, pressing down on his spine.

Moral kidnapping?

Lin Xiao sneered.

The system played a dirty trick.

Forced live streaming; choose one of two options.

Choose A, be a pushover, and save those unlucky guys.

He tried to draw water with a bamboo basket but ended up with nothing; besides a hollow reputation, he was penniless.

Choose B to get an extra supreme reward, and your combat power will skyrocket.

But the price was that he would be branded a cold-blooded butcher and offend top powers like the Ye family and the Temple of War.

This isn't a multiple-choice question; it's a death trap.

"Do you want to see me abandoned by everyone? Or do you want to see me become a sucker?"

Lin Xiao's eyes were calm, but his mind was like a scalpel, precisely analyzing the situation.

Unfortunately, the survival game overlooked one crucial detail.

I have all-seeing eyes.

The remaining four blind boxes, at first glance, seem dazzling, but in reality, they are all traps.

On one side are four pieces of trash with bizarre side effects.

On the other hand, there was the life-saving grace from five top forces: the Ye family, the War God Temple, Longhu Mountain, the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, and the Mind Master Guild.

Even a fool could do the math!

Saving Ye Chen and the others meant that these five major powers owed them a debt of gratitude, which was a truly valuable resource!

not to mention……

Lin Xiao glanced at the void and muttered to himself.

Living leeks are always more valuable than dead ones.

If we can kill them once, we can kill them a second time.

Why not save it and harvest it slowly?

but……

System, I've noted down this grudge you've set against me. If I ever have the ability to confront you directly in the future, I'll make you pay.

"System, are you trying to manipulate human nature?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

"Then I'll play along with you in a grand performance!"

……

Within the pure white space, Lin Xiao moved.

He did not go to the "Heart of the Sage" on the left.

Instead, he slowly turned around and stepped towards the "Path of the Overlord" on the right, which radiated an alluring golden light.

step.

Two steps.

His steps were heavy, each one feeling as if he were stepping on the hearts of countless people.

In the real world, things have completely exploded.

"Holy crap! He's going to choose B! He's really going to choose B!"

"You beast! Those were five lives! For a few pieces of equipment, you've thrown away all humanity?"

"Lin Xiao! If you dare choose B, the Ye family will never forgive you!!"

Inside the Ministry of Education's conference room, Ye Guyun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, drawing blood.

Xing Zhantian was so angry that he was trembling all over. If it weren't for Qin Weiguo keeping him in check, he would have overturned the conference table and eaten it.

Even Qin Weiguo's hand, which was holding an air teacup, couldn't help but tremble.

On the screen.

Lin Xiao was already standing in front of the pillar of light on the "Path to Hegemony".

He raised his hand, his fingertips less than a centimeter from the confirmation button.

For a second, the world froze.

Countless people closed their eyes in despair, unable to bear watching the cruel scene that followed.

however.

Just as their fingertips were about to touch, Lin Xiao's hand stopped.

As if pulled by some invisible force, his fingers trembled violently, and the expression on his face became extremely "struggling".

His brows were furrowed, veins bulged, and his eyes held a mixture of a yearning for invincible power and a questioning of his conscience.

With acting skills like that, he deserves an Oscar.

"call……"

A long sigh, clearly transmitted to every corner of the globe via live broadcast.

Lin Xiao slowly withdrew his hand.

He turned around, facing the void, as if looking at billions of people around the world through a screen.

Those eyes were clear and deep, carrying a sense of world-weariness and compassion.

"Power... is indeed tempting."

Lin Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but in the deathly silent world at that moment, it sounded exceptionally deafening.

"Three colorful blind boxes are enough for me, Lin Xiao, to reach the pinnacle, look down upon all living beings, and even roam freely in this world."

He paused, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"To be honest, I'm very tempted. After all, 'every man for himself' is a principle passed down from our ancestors."

Hearing this, Ye Guyun and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

It’s over.

This is about to be the "villain's declaration".

However, the next second.

Lin Xiao's tone suddenly changed, and his voice became firm and powerful, like the clash of metal and stone!

"but!"

"If the price of reaching the summit is stepping over the corpses of our compatriots, if it's the annihilation of our last vestiges of humanity..."

"If the invincible throne is forged with the blood of comrades..."

Lin Xiao suddenly waved his hand, pointing to the "Heart of the Sage" emitting a soft white light on the left. His eyes became incredibly sharp, as if they could pierce the sky.

"Then I, Lin Xiao, would rather wallow in this quagmire than sit on that cold throne!"

A loud bang!

These words struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone's minds.

The keyboard warriors who were just furiously insulting Lin Xiao froze in mid-air, their cheeks burning with pain.

Ye Guyun, filled with despair, suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.

Lin Xiao stepped forward, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his voice passionate and resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"Although I, Lin Xiao, am not some saint, I know that the backbone of the Dragon Kingdom is not supported by a few inanimate objects, but by living, breathing people!"

"Ye Chen, Zhao Xiaotang, Bai Ling... they were my opponents, and they once drew their swords against me."

"But on a grander scale, they are the future of the Dragon Kingdom! The pride of humanity!"

"If I abandon them today for my own selfish gain, who will fight alongside me when foreign invaders attack in the future? Who will defend my Chinese land?!"

Every word is precious!

Every word is heartbreaking!

At that moment, countless viewers in front of the screen felt their scalp tingle and a surge of excitement rush to their heads.

pattern!

This is the layout!

This is no selfish young man! He is clearly a patriot with the world in his heart!

"This path to dominance..."

A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, though to outsiders it appeared as resolute.

He swung his right fist out with the aura of a human emperor, slamming it heavily into the golden light that represented the "path to hegemony".

"I wouldn't even want a dog! Get lost!"

A muffled thud!

The golden light shattered, dissipating into countless specks of light.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao turned around and slammed the "Heart of a Sage" button.

"Ding!"

Player Lin Xiao makes a choice: The Heart of a Sage.

"Resurrection procedure initiated."

A dazzling, holy white light instantly engulfed the entire pure white space.

The light wasn't dazzling; instead, it was so warm it made you want to cry.

The real world is in complete uproar.

Countless people who had cursed Lin Xiao in front of their screens were now so ashamed that they wished they could disappear into the ground.

The sentiment in the comments section underwent a dramatic reversal in that instant.

"Waaaah! I'm so sorry, Lin Shen! My voice was a little too loud!"

"This is vision! This is magnanimity! I would call Lin Xiao a saint of our time!"

"Anyone who calls Lin Xiao cold-blooded again, I'll be the first to slap them across the face!"

"I've become a fan! Even though he killed so many people before, at this moment, he's a hero! The only god!"

Kyoto, Ministry of Education conference room.

After a deathly silence came heavy breathing.

Ye Guyun slumped into his chair, staring at the boy's figure bathed in holy light on the screen, his eyes red-rimmed.

This grandmaster was always arrogant and looked down on everyone.

He slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to the screen.

My waist was bent at a 90-degree angle.

I didn't get up for a long time.

"Lin Xiao... my Ye family will remember this favor."

His voice was hoarse, yet as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Xing Zhantian, Yin Shi Lao Zu, and even Zhang Zhiwei, the old master of Longhu Mountain, all had extremely complex expressions at this moment.

They knew that from this moment on, the roles of offense and defense had reversed.

They owe Lin Xiao more than just five lives.

It is also a profound act of rebirth.

This debt of gratitude is so great that it would allow Lin Xiao to roam freely throughout the entire martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom.

Anyone who dares to touch him is slapping the face of these five major powers!

This round.

Qin Shi Huang touched an electrical wire!
