Absolute Choice 3

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  The black pearls on the red blob of light moved and said, "Heh heh, deal. As a gift, you can kill that human."

  Hisith hesitated slightly before shaking his head and said, "You were right about one thing. That pixie has made me felt fear, so I was acting according to my instincts to steer clear of her. I'll leave Steel City now and kill a few humans to calm down. I'll temporarily let that naughty little toy jump around for a period of time. The next time we meet, I will join him in playing a good game."

  The red blob of light sneered upon hearing this and no longer spoke. Since it had achieved its purpose, there was no need to complicate matters any further. It just felt disdain for Hisith's timidity.

  At this moment, anxious footsteps could be heard outside the office before Hisith heard the voice that was the last thing he wanted to hear.

  "Instructor Sisi, This King wants to see you for something!"

  Hisith's pupils immediately constricted as his eyes flashed a look of disbelief.

  This Shi Xiaobai actually dared to maunder here to look for him? Did Kali's protection make Shi Xiaobai so audacious? Or could it be that Shi Xiaobai did not have the slightest bit of fear towards him?

  Hisith's anger was immediately pushed to its limits.

  The red blob of light noted with interest as it chuckled and said, "Goodbye is always that sudden. This Seat will be slightly looking forward to the 'game' you mentioned."

  After saying that, the red blob of light transformed into a poker card before returning to Hisith's body.

  And at this moment, Shi Xiaobai had forcefully pushed the office's door open.

  The echo that came from the booming of the door's opening and Shi Xiaobai's delicate face met Hisith's ears and eyes respectively. The corner of his mouth began to slightly twitch.

  Hisith quickly forced himself to calm down. Although he was hankering to slaughter Shi Xiaobai, his fear for Kali prevented him from doing so.

  However, he had just "boasted" to the Abyss Ghost King about what would happen if Shi Xiaobai were to take the initiative to look for him. If he still let Shi Xiaobai leave safe and sound, not only would the Abyss Ghost King completely despise him, he would look down on himself too.

  Although Hisith did not dare rob Shi Xiaobai of his life, he definitely wanted to make Shi Xiaobai taste suffering.

  He had to design a game meant for torturing toys.

  "It seems like I need to design an absolutely 'interesting' game."

  ...

  ...

  Half a minute later.

  "So, you came looking for me to ask about Chen Lingcun's location?"

  While Hisith restrained his fury, he finished listening to Shi Xiaobai's purpose of visit. A stiff but strange smile suffused from his lips.

  Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, "Lingcun previously said that he would find you personally to ask about a person's location. Can you tell This King what the answer you gave him was?"

  Hisith suddenly gave an evil smile before saying, "What would happen if I were to tell you that I have never heard of the name 'Chen Lingcun' before?"

  Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai's forehead oozed a cold bead of sweat. In his haste, he had forgotten something. Since Chen Lingcun had mentioned that only he and Ye Jiaquan could remember his existence, it wouldn’t be a surprise that Hisith would also forget Chen Lingcun. If that was the case, this path was still a dead end!

  "Just kidding."

  After Hisith observed Shi Xiaobai's reaction, a strange glint flashed in his eyes as he chuckled and said, "That silver-haired youth left a deep impression on me. Your guess is right. Ten days ago, he had come looking for me alone. He spent two days to complete the game I designed in an outstanding manner. As a prize, I told him everything he wanted to know, so he left Steel City on the third day."

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up. He did not know why Chen Lingcun would be forgotten by others; hence he did not have any suspicion with Hisith remembering Chen Lingcun. He immediately said, "Since you know where he currently is, can you tell This King?"

  Hisith narrowed his eyes and said, "I know, but...why should I tell you?"

  Shi Xiaobai's breath stagnated and was thinking how bad the depraved person was at chatting.

  If you were to talk like that, how was This King to respond?

  Shi Xiaobai thought for a moment before saying in a sincere tone, "This King knows that you are still blaming This King for requesting your underwear ten days ago in public. Back then, This King was doing it for your sake. The Seed of the Evil God had attached itself to your underwear through spatial-temporal forces. The curse was just about to penetrate your body, and if not for This King shouting to scare the Seed of the Evil God away, you would probably be in a dire state now!"

  "However, saving you was the wish of This King, so This King will definitely not demand for your gratitude. All This King wishes is that you would not misunderstand This King. Now, please tell Chen Lingcun's destination to This King. The next time the Seed of the Evil God appears again, This King will definitely warn you again! How about it?"

  Shi Xiaobai looked at Hisith and blinked his eyes, looking very cute and very naive.

  Chapter127 Upright person despite Being tough on words

  As Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes, he indicated that he had "requested for underwear" out of concern for Hisith's safety.

  Hisith's pupils violently contracted as a look of violence flashed in them. He narrowed his eyes into a slit as a cold aura radiated out from his body.

  Hisith never expected Shi Xiaobai to dare mention the matter once again and had even attempted to deceive him using nonsense that could only hoodwink a fool. He had even said the words "next time".

  "Ga...me!"

  It was as though Hisith had to squeeze the word out through the gaps in his teeth. Taking a deep breath, he said with a cold expression, "As long as you complete a game I design, I will inform you of Chen Lingcun's location as the game's prize."

  Hisith had already mentally constructed a relatively "interesting" game which he believed would be an unforgettable one for Shi Xiaobai.

  Shi Xiaobai was momentarily stunned and recalled how he had previously "played" two of Hisith's games. He had a rough concept of the games Hisith mentioned, so after a bit of hesitation, he nodded and said, "This King agrees. Quickly begin the game."

  Although "playing a game" would waste a lot of time, this was the only method he had left. As for Hisith's game, Shi Xiaobai was naturally unafraid of it. In his own words, This King had subjugated the game world for years, be it from LOL to side-scrolling shoot'em up games, or massively multiplayer online games and small puzzle games, This King was adept at any of them, having easily conquered them!

  In simple terms, This King was already tired of grinding Challenger back when he played League of Legends.

  Usually, his roommate, Yang Wei, would usually pop out and ask a question, which babe is Challenger, can you give me her contact?

  ...

  Seeing Shi Xiaobai readily agree, Hisith immediately felt displeased. Often, others would turn white just from hearing the word "game" from him, so when Hisith saw the different scene Shi Xiaobai portrayed, his mood turned somewhat complicated.

  "If you weren't that 'naughty', you would have truly been an extremely 'interesting' game, unfortunately..."

  With this thought in mind, Hisith sneered and said, "To challenge a 'somewhat difficult' game, you must first pass the test of a small game."

  Shi Xiaobai knitted his brows slightly as Instructor Sisi was a little irritating.

  Before Shi Xiaobai spoke up to refuse, Hisith had suddenly reached out his hand, causing three tall glasses to fly out from a cabinet beside them. They flew towards Hisith and landed on the office desk in front of Hisith. At the same time, a bottle of red wine flew out of the cabinet and into Hisith's hand.

  Hisith quickly filled the three glasses
with red wine.

  Shi Xiaobai took a glance at the three glasses of red wine opened his mouth to exhale. He said with a sigh, "This King doesn't have much time. Hurry up."

  Although he did not know what "relaxing" game Hisith wanted to play, he did not mind being a sport playing with him and since it did not waste too much time. Yes, it was definitely not because he wanted to have a taste of red wine which he had never tried before.

  After pouring the red wine, Hisith gave an eerie smile and said, "The game's rules are very simple. In the three glasses of red wine, one of them doesn't have poison. There is a one third chance, and if you finish drinking a glass without any poison, I will agree that you have the qualification to challenge a 'somewhat difficult' game."

  "Only three glasses?"

  Shi Xiaobai was surprised. He remembered the first time he "played games" with Hisith, he had to choose a card greater than ten out of fifty-four cards. The probability of success back then was less than one-third.

  These two games were both a test of luck. After the last failure, Hisith had designed a game with a higher probability chance of winning?

  "This is showing contempt for This King's lucky halo. It cannot be endured at all."

  As Shi Xiaobai had such a thought, he looked at the three glasses of red wine. The color and volume of the red wine in the three glasses were nearly the same. His naked eye could not tell which glass was poisonous. As for smelling, Shi Xiaobai gave up on that thought after thinking for a moment. He did not believe he could distinguish a poisoned glass with his sense of smell.

  Hence, everything still depended on...

  "Indeed, it still needs to depend on This King's intuition!"

  Shi Xiaobai gave a confident smile and stared at the three glasses of red wine. He was waiting for his "intuition" to tell him which glass had the poison.

  Three seconds later, Shi Xiaobai was dumbfounded!

  This was because "intuition" told him that none of the three glasses of wine were poisonous!

  Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw a concealed smile suffuse across Hisith's lips in his glance. He immediately felt touched. He never expected Instructor Sisi to be such an upright person despite being so tough with his words. Although he had made things difficult for him verbally, he was after all still thankful because of the "Seed of the Evil God".

  Wasn't this little game the best proof?

  If none of the three glasses were poisonous, then drinking any glass could pass the game. This meant—that this was a freebie question. Shi Xiaobai had depended on such freebie questions to escape the situation of scoring "zero" points in exams on a yearly basis. So, he had a good impression of such freebies!

  There was no need to speak further, cheers to that!

  Shi Xiaobai casually picked up a glass of red wine and raised it to his mouth. He drank it straight down like he was drinking a beverage, making him look very heroic!

  When Hisith saw Shi Xiaobai drink the glass of red wine without any hesitation, the cold smile on his lips broadened greatly. This little game was naturally not a "luck"-based game. He knew very well that out of the Six Senses of God, Shi Xiaobai possessed the Perception of God. Hence, he would naturally not design a simple game like choosing poker cards that only had a third chance of success.

  The little game's true trick was—all three glasses of red wine were poisonous!

  This poison was known as the "Bonechewer Medicinal Agent". The drinker would immediately suffer an anguishing pain as though every bone was being chewed on by worms, This sort of poison did not immediately claim the life of the victim, but would make the victim endure a life worse than death. Depending on the dosage, the duration of its effects would be different.

  Hisith had added a dosage that was enough to last thirty minutes in each glass of red wine. He wanted to let Shi Xiaobai have a taste of what it meant to have his bone chewed on!

  Of course, he would not allow Shi Xiaobai to commit suicide. Instead, he would constantly use the healing Hearts card to maintain his consciousness!

  He had originally planned on making a more complicated, more difficult and more torturous game for Shi Xiaobai, but seeing how Shi Xiaobai was without pressure when he did not hesitate at agreeing to challenge his "somewhat difficult" game, Hisith changed his mind.

  He had chosen the simplest and crudest of means!

  Won't you filled with confidence and completely fearless?

  The three poisoned glasses of red wine destined you to failure. Furthermore, it would make you experience the cruelest suffering.

  Hisith felt overjoyed just thinking of himself being able to sneer and say "You can't even pass the simplest little game, so you are unqualified to challenge a 'somewhat difficult' game" while enjoying how Shi Xiaobai screamed in pain on the floor.

  He did not know what Chen Lingcun meant to Shi Xiaobai, but from the anxious look Shi Xiaobai had, he knew Shi Xiaobai was eager to know of Chen Lingcun's location.

  Wasn't destroying a toy by making it receive a merciless rejection as it experienced an excruciating pain and allowing it to rant how unfair the game was the most "interesting"?

  When Hisith saw Shi Xiaobai drink the red wine down in one gulp, resulting in an empty wine glass, he eagerly looked forward to the next scene. "Bonechewing Medicinal Agent" was an instant poison, which meant...an "interesting" scene would immediately happen.

  At this moment, Hisith had already revealed a joyful smile because as he expected, Shi Xiaobai suddenly stared widely after drinking the red wine!

  Chapter128 Intoxicated Moan

  After Shi Xiaobai finished drinking the glass of red wine in one gulp, he immediately widened his eyes.

  Hisith smiled delightfully in his mind as he began to be filled with anticipation. He was looking forward to Shi Xiaobai grasping his neck in pain while screaming and writhing on the ground. Following that, he would reveal the truth that "all three glasses of red wine are poisoned" which would result in Shi Xiaobai roar that it was "unfair". Finally, Shi Xiaobai would suffer both a physical and mental collapse from the dual setback he experienced.

  "This would definitely be 'interesting'."

  At this moment, Hisith laughed.

  However, Hisith was left dumbfounded the next second. This was because after Shi Xiaobai stared widely with his eyes, he did not grasp his neck and scream out loud. Instead he blinked and licked his lips. Next, he reached out his hand to pick up another glass of red wine!

  Shi Xiaobai noticed how Hisith was using a pair of glazed eyes to look at him and immediately felt a bit embarrassed. After he finished drinking the first glass of red wine, he only found it fucking delicious. It was so tasty that he was completely bewildered!

  Shi Xiaobai had enjoyed the entire process and could not help but pick up another glass of red wine. Noticing how Hisith did not stop him, Shi Xiaobai grinned and moved the glass to his mouth like a gluttonous child. This time, he did not drink it in one gulp but savored it bit by bit as he did not want to finish it too quickly.

  Shi Xiaobai moved his gaze towards the third glass of red wine as his hand involuntarily reached over. Taking a secret glance at Hisith, he realized that he wasn't stopped, and immediately had the opinion that Instructor Sisi was a very nice person.

  This King shall kindly accept this red wine!

  Shi Xiaobai picked up and drank the last glass of red wine!

  "Hic!"

  After Shi Xiaobai exhaled blissfully, but he involuntarily produced an alcohol-induced hiccup.

  Hisith was dumbfounded.

  What the fuck was going on!?

  Shi Xiaobai smiled and said, "After This King's validation, the three glasses of wine are without poison, so does this mean that This King has passed this little game?"

  Hisith gaped his mouth and quickly picked up the bottle of red wine and took a mouthful.

  "Pu!"

  Hisith spat out the mouthf
ul of red wine immediately.

  This red wine was poisonous!

  That's not right, it was meant to have poison!

  That's not right, the red wine was poisonous, but why!?

  Hisith immediately looked at Shi Xiaobai with extreme suspicion. Why didn't the poison in the three glasses of wine take any effect? Could he have forgotten that the "Bonechewer Medicinal Agent" wasn't immediate but actually had a delayed effect?

  Just as Hisith had this thought, Shi Xiaobai suddenly stretched out his hand and held his throat. His eyes stared widely as though he was in great pain!

  Hisith's eyes immediately lit up.

  So that was it. This "Bonechewer Medicinal Agent" must have been an inferior imitation for it to have such delayed effects. Finally, it has shown its effects!

  Shi Xiaobai finally realized this when the poison took its effects. This was because he felt an intense pain rise up through his body. He immediately remembered that Hisith had said how there was only one glass of wine that did not have any poison, but he had drank all three glasses. That meant that he had drank two glasses of poisonous wine!

  Shi Xiaobai grasped his neck and immediately began to use "Unleaking Turtle Aura" to suppress the pain, then...

  Then Shi Xiaobai suddenly removed his hands from his neck. His widely staring eyes also returned to normal and he immediately turned expressionless.

  This was because Shi Xiaobai recalled something, something very important.

  He remembered that back at the virtual competition, he had encountered a bonus Absolute Choice. After the Arch-Cardinal shouted "hubby" three times, he had obtained a C-level reward of "Poison Resistance". He could automatically filter out 80% of toxins.

  This meant that the poison in the red wine could only deal 20% of poison damage to him.

  Indeed, once Shi Xiaobai used "Unleaking Turtle Aura", the slight pain that rose up in his body became more reminiscent of an itch. 20% of the poison's toxins was insufficient to deal too much damage to him.
