“@Brother Invincible, don’t let your fans down, brother! Come out and say something!”
Brother Invincible’s fingers froze in mid-air. He could never have imagined that the pervert would actually spread this around. He felt both embarrassed and furious, cold sweat sliding down his forehead.
He tremblingly scrolled back through the logs, his face growing uglier with every passing second.
How could he have the nerve to say these things out loud?!
Brother Invincible glared at Taro Mochi’s post through gritted teeth. When he read the part about being “dragged toward the sleeping mat,” his face turned the color of pig liver, flashing between red and pale.
“Bullshit! He was the one who seduced me first!”
Brother Invincible slammed his fist against the seat, forgetting it was still stained with cow dung. By the time he realized the texture was wrong, it was too late, and he immediately gagged in disgust.
“Damn it! I’ll make him pay for this, I swear!”
Brother Invincible bit his lip hard, no longer caring about the value of a Designated Player Duel Card. Once he selected Taro, he clicked to use it!
Unfortunately, Taro was clearly prepared. The system notified him that someone had already used a card on that player.
Brother Invincible froze. He glanced at the time out of the corner of his eye and realized it was already past eight-ten. Taro had deliberately found someone to block him right at nightfall!
Brother Invincible sneered. You can run from today, but you can’t run from tomorrow! It was just a matter of whether he died today or tomorrow; what harm would it do to let him live one more night?
Having calculated this, Brother Invincible finally remembered to handle his business on the regional channel. Looking at the room full of cow dung, he felt a sharp throb in his temples. He scrambled to purchase a Vehicle Cleaning Card and only felt comfortable after using it.
He didn’t want to see the annoying comments on the regional channel anymore. He opened his personal panel, only to see a notification that instantly sent his spirit soaring.
【Your reputation value is sufficient! Do you wish to use this card?】
Brother Invincible shook all over and stood up from his seat!
His fingers trembled, and it took a long moment before he clicked “Confirm.”
However, what popped up was not 【Use Successful】, but another notification that made his eyes bulge in horror!
【After using this card, all players who successfully complete the dungeon will be rewarded by you. Please submit a certain amount of supplies to the system for placement; they will be automatically distributed after the players succeed! At the same time, the submitted supplies will be used to verify your ability to host this dungeon!】
Brother Invincible stared at this system prompt, his face turning deathly pale.
“I have to provide the supplies too?!” He slammed his hand down, his voice distorted with rage. “Is this shitty system messing with me?!”
He was unwilling to part with anything good.
He first chose the domestic water that had been contaminated by the cow dung, which he couldn’t bear to throw away.
Although the system seemed a bit reluctant, it accepted the item, naming it 【Domestic Water Soaked in Cow Dung】 to acknowledge the submission.
But this alone was nowhere near enough!
Brother Invincible felt a pang of heartache as he placed his supplies inside. At first, he put in things he could afford to lose—vehicle cards, firearms, bulletproof vests, and upgrade material shards.
But the system kept notifying him that the currently placed rewards were insufficient to support the dungeon opening.
In a fit of rage, Brother Invincible took back all the supplies he had put in. Thinking of the supplies, energy, and his completely ruined reputation he had sacrificed just to use this card...
There was no turning back now; he had to give it one last shot!
Brother Invincible shoved in a few more basic supplies, leaving only three pieces of compressed biscuit, while putting in all his mineral water.
He certainly wouldn’t lack water to drink, having spent a fortune on the Basic Water Condensation Device processed by Angry Crow!
However, even after adding these, the system still showed that the supplies were insufficient.
“Damn it...” Brother Invincible cursed through gritted teeth, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
He had originally intended to use this card to severely screw over the big players on the leaderboard, but he hadn’t expected to drive himself into a dead end instead.
With no other choice, he started tossing in the facilities from his vehicle: the bedding from his sleeping mat, bedsheets, a second-hand sofa he had used, a broken table...
After putting everything in, his vehicle was completely empty. Seeing that it wasn’t dark yet, he even went outside the vehicle and tried to put the vehicle itself in.
After all, the temptation of being able to randomly deduct five items from the loser was simply too great. Brother Invincible was willing to bet everything on this gamble.
But it just wasn’t enough—it was never enough!
Brother Invincible stared at the glaring 【Insufficient Supplies】 prompt on the screen, his pupils trembling violently. His breathing grew more rapid, his fingers digging into his palms until his nails almost pierced his skin.
It was getting dark, and it wasn’t safe outside.
He clung to his last shred of composure, retrieved all the supplies, and returned inside the vehicle.
The moment he shut the door, he could no longer control his emotions. He grabbed the water cup from the table and smashed it against the wall. Glass shards scattered everywhere, and water splashes left a hideous trail on the wall.
“Why isn’t it enough?! Why is it just not enough?!”
His voice was raspy to the extreme, the veins on his forehead bulging. His entire face was twisted almost beyond recognition, his mind filled with the fury of being played by the system.
“Right, I still have things! I still have game coins!”
As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, Brother Invincible brought all the supplies and the game coins from his account to the system.
But the system was clearly no stranger to big storms. Not to mention this pittance of game coins—even if he had taken Cheng Shuili’s tens of thousands of game coins, it would surely still not be enough.
The system’s cold prompt popped up again: 【Current supplies are still insufficient. Please continue to add!】
“Ahhh!!!”
Brother Invincible roared in a breakdown, punching the virtual panel in front of him. His knuckles pierced through the panel and slammed hard into the wall, instantly oozing blood.
His vision went black, and his ears were buzzing, as if countless sharp mocking voices were tearing at his nerves.
“Playing me... they’re all playing me!”
He staggered back two steps, his legs giving out, and he collapsed to his knees.
The face that had once been arrogant and smug was now pale as paper, cold sweat mixing with tears as they slid down, dripping onto his trembling hands.
He had sacrificed so much... his reputation, his supplies, his dignity... he had even gone so far as to tear his relationship apart with that pervert, yet in the end, he couldn’t even use one shitty card?!
“Why... why!”
Brother Invincible snapped his head up, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at the screen, and he suddenly began to laugh like a madman.
“Fine... fine! If you won’t let me use it, then no one is going to have a good time!”
He tremblingly opened the regional channel, his fingers typing frantically on the keyboard, but what could he even say? His sanity had been completely pulverized, leaving only endless fury and despair burning in his chest.
In the end, he slammed the panel shut and curled up on the ground like a stray dog whose spine had been pulled out, letting out broken, sobbing whimpers from his throat.
