Three Towers Game

Chapter 587: After modification: Chapter 173 Twisted Auction_3

”His pain value has reached 42 points! So incredible, so incredible!”

Everyone envied him. This half-headed old ghost exchanged 39 points of pain value for a drink that only needed a small sip to achieve 42 points of pain value.

At this moment, it was just 3 points short of 45 points.

The half-headed old man began his heart-digging performance again.

But then a bizarre scene appeared...

”Huh... the pain value hasn’t changed at all!”

Yes, no matter how the half-headed old man tortured himself, his pain value stuck at 42 points and wouldn’t go up.

It clearly wasn’t because his pain tolerance was too high to increase the value.

In the first round with 39 points, even with high pain tolerance, he could manage to add a few more points in the second round.

After all, that was literally digging his heart out.

At this moment, Xiang Tai, who had lost his eyes, spoke:

”Stupid... When a person is in extreme grief, torturing themselves can actually relieve pain. This old man wouldn’t think that mental anguish could simply add up with physical pain, would he?”

”First the physical pain, then the mental anguish will add up. But often, if mental anguish is felt first, followed by physical pain, it might not add up at all.”

Quite true.

Wen Xishu immediately felt it made a lot of sense. This auction truly opened his eyes.

Sometimes, when a person is in extreme mental anguish, they might bang their head against the wall; passing out might actually feel better.

At times, when a person feels guilty, they might slap themselves. The physical pain can momentarily pull them out of their mental suffering.

The half-headed old man obviously hadn’t thought of this.

At this moment, another man with a distinctly gentle, Japanese anime-style look raised his hand:

”It’s my turn. Kids.”

Kids?

Wen Xishu was puzzled.

But he had a feeling that an even more perverse and abstract participant was about to appear.

”Half-headed old ghost, though you are strong, your pain is too superficial.”

”Watch closely, this is my magnificent performance!”

”From the moment the pain rules descended, I’ve been preparing for this moment. My daughter, I love you. Daddy will always protect you. As long as you have this necklace... you will survive in this chaotic world!”

Beside the man was a little girl.

The little girl looked at her father with tearful eyes, shaking her head unconsciously, begging her father not to do something foolish.

But the man said:

”I will always love you! Always watching over you in another world!”

[I have given all my love to you without reservation, Linnai. Keep going and stay alive!]

Wen Xishu roughly guessed it.

The man loved his daughter unreservedly, just to ensure that one day, she would feel extreme pain, this pain... was losing the dearest father she loved the most.

Tenderly accompanied for years, then suddenly dying at a certain moment...

That kind of pain might drive the little girl to collapse, right?

Wen Xishu thought to himself, what a pervert. This is so fucking Hujiang-style, isn’t it?

Next, at that very moment, the man... slit his own throat.

But a dramatic scene followed.

The daughter’s reluctant expression instantly turned cold:

”Annoying guy, finally dead.”

[Born to such a poor family, making me endure such an apocalypse, do you even deserve to be my father? You were just a tool for my survival. Do you know how many times I’ve mutilated myself over these years... just to make a living? I didn’t want to be born into this world! I didn’t want to have a biological father like you!]

The wicked Linnai revealed a cold smile at this moment:

”According to the rules, I should be able to inherit my father’s pain legacy, right?”

The auctioneer was stunned, not expecting someone to manufacture pain using their life, but even less expecting that another person wouldn’t feel pain at all.

However, the man’s ultimate sorrow and heartache before dying also contributed to mental anguish, giving Linnai a pain value of 46 points.

Linnai smiled:

”Hehe, it seems I can just buy this necklace, dead scumbag daddy, you died just right.”

Wen Xishu thought to himself...

If it had been a loving father-daughter relationship, he would have given up begrudgingly.

But unexpectedly, in a place like Hujiang, he witnessed a father leaving and a daughter laughing.

”Sorry, you can’t buy this.” Wen Xishu stood up.

Linnai knew very well that among the people present, most had sacrificed their parents, their beloved ones; there wasn’t much space for mental pain anymore, with physical pain tolerance reaching its limit.

Logically, no one should be capable of competing with her.

But this time, everyone’s eyes widened:

”A... a normal person!”

”Oh my God, a body not yet tainted by pain!”

Just as Virtual 04 described, Wen Xishu revealed his intact upper body.

This body, like the insignia of a Super Chef in ’Cooking Master Boy’, seemed to emit a golden glow, making people fear to gaze directly at it.

Linnai never anticipated that in this auction, a normal person would appear! Just breaking a finger would be more effective than digging the heart for this bunch!

”I want this necklace.”
