Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Pain = Attribute Points + No Pain = Unlimited Points
BANG!
Lu Ce was still frozen in confusion, replaying the voice he had just heard in his head. But before he could make sense of it, the female doctor, now fuming with rage, slapped him across the face.
It felt like getting smashed by a flail. Lu Ce let out a muffled grunt.
And that’s when he realized—this woman was freakishly strong. He could barely resist her.
“Huff… huff…”
The doctor panted heavily, her eyes burning with a twisted mix of rage and desire as she stared down at the helpless man beneath her.
Her prey was way too uncooperative.
Her carefully planned fantasy—shattered.
This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go!
She gritted her teeth, her hands tightening around him with terrifying strength.
Lu Ce’s pupils shrank instantly as he felt his muscles tearing under her grip.
—This wasn’t normal.
This level of strength was not something a human woman should have.
Even if he wasn’t afraid of pain, he wasn’t immune to death. He was still tied down, completely at her mercy.
His brain kicked into overdrive. Seeing the rage burning in her eyes, Lu Ce got it.
He needed to play along.
“AAAHHHHH!!!”
A loud, ridiculously fake scream echoed through the room as Lu Ce twisted on the bed in exaggerated agony.
“IT HURTS! OH GOD, IT HURTS! I FORGOT ABOUT PAIN—AAAHHH!!”
The doctor: ?
Her fiery gaze stuttered. Her expression froze in place.
…Forgot???
How the hell do you ‘forget’ you’re in pain?!
But looking at the way Lu Ce was flailing and howling, her twisted expression finally softened. She let out a satisfied chuckle, as if venting her earlier frustration.
Not wasting any time, she pressed the button on the machine again.
The red light flared.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +8!】
【Primary Gene Lock: Unlock Progress 19/100!】
Again, the mechanical voice echoed in Lu Ce’s mind.
He understood now—this was when he was supposed to be in pain.
So, following the cues in his head, Lu Ce kept up the act, wailing like a dying animal.
Even he thought he was overacting a little.
But come on, he’d never felt pain before. This was the best he could do.
Right now, he had no way to escape, so his only option was to grind these “Pain Points” to 100 and see if the “Gene Lock” would do anything useful.
Even if his performance was kind of terrible, the doctor bought it.
She let out a long sigh. The killing intent in her eyes faded, replaced by that same seductive, twisted smile.
As she continued pressing the machine’s controls, she also casually adjusted her position on top of him.
And as she moved—her doctor’s coat began slipping off, piece by piece.
The remaining fabric on her body was barely enough to cover her porcelain-white skin.
The viewers of the livestream knew exactly what this scene was turning into.
【Holy sh*t! Who knew the doctor was this stacked?! That lab coat was a damn illusion. RESPECT.】
【Bro, she was just sawing his leg off a minute ago—now she’s about to ‘bond’ with him?】
【Wait… am I the only one who thinks this guy’s screaming is kinda fake?】
Some of the audience was starting to notice.
But the doctor, still high on excitement, didn’t seem to realize anything was off.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +8!】
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +9!】
Wave after wave of insane nerve stimulation surged through Lu Ce’s body.
Pain that could shatter a person’s sanity—completely ineffective against him.
All he could do was keep racking up points while keeping up the act.
“AAAHHHH!!”
“Is this the highest setting?”
“Can it go any higher?”
“If it gets any stronger, I might actually die—please, no more~.”
【Bro, come on. You’re not even trying to act anymore.】
【This is getting kinda awkward…】
【I’m starting to think even B-grade acting is better than this.】
【Hey, can someone lend me a movie to watch?】
The doctor’s twisted grin began to twitch.
Even in her lust-filled haze, she finally started to realize something was wrong.
Whenever she tortured her prey, their involuntary muscle spasms, trembling, and nerve reactions were her favorite delicacies.
But this man… wasn’t showing any of those.
This was the second time he had completely broken her immersion.
“You little sh*t… are you messing with me?”
“…Are you asking if I want to do this?” Lu Ce replied.
BANG!
The furious woman slammed her hand onto the machine. The red light flared wildly—a sign that she had completely lost patience.
“You’ve pissed me off, boy.”
“I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but you’ve ruined my fun.”
As she spoke, she reached under herself—and pulled out a knife.
“…Hold on—where the hell did that knife even come from?!”
SHING!
A flash of silver.
A slash of red.
Lu Ce was still cracking jokes when—the scalpel plunged into his chest.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +2!】
…Not a huge number.
Which meant this stab hurt way less than the machine.
But this time—Lu Ce’s pupils contracted.
Pain didn’t matter.
But death did.
“I think… I don’t wanna play anymore.”
The doctor flipped her hair, adjusting her posture.
She also made sure to grind herself against him as she moved.
Holding the blood-stained scalpel, she began to carve.
Like an artist painting on a canvas.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +2!】
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +1!】
“I was planning to enjoy you a little longer, but you’re seriously pissing me off.”
“So now… I think I’ll cut ‘it’ off first and use it separately.”
“Let’s see what your face looks like after that.”
Her sultry voice dripped with malice.
Not just physical torment—she was aiming to mentally break him.
Seeing Lu Ce’s expression finally darken, the doctor’s ecstatic smile returned.
Pain Points were slowly increasing—but Lu Ce knew his time was running out.
Her other hand had already grabbed onto his pants.
Who would’ve thought—the first time a woman undressed him in his life, it’d be because she wanted to castrate him.
CRACK!
Suddenly, a dull, bone-chilling sound echoed through the room, sharp enough to make anyone’s teeth ache.
The doctor’s attention snapped toward the source of the noise.
She looked down—and saw a crimson mess.
Lu Ce’s fingernails had dug deep into the handcuffs, as if he was trying to break them apart with sheer force.
But obviously—it wasn’t the handcuffs that broke.
When she looked back up, she still saw the same emotionless face.
Lu Ce hadn’t even flinched.
“…What the hell are you doing?!”
She had seen countless tortures, unimaginable suffering. Her mind was already twisted beyond saving.
But this—this felt wrong.
Lu Ce smiled.
He had no pain receptors.
The only thing he cared about was the notification in his head.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +4!】
CRACK! CRACK!
One after another, nails ripped off in rapid succession.
Lu Ce’s entire left hand—**every single fingernail—**was torn away in an instant.
【Chosen of Agony Activated! Pain Points +3!】
【Primary Gene Lock: Unlock Progress 101/100!】
【Requirements Met. Gene Lock Unlocked!】
BOOM!
A blinding surge of electricity shot through Lu Ce’s brain, as if a door had been forcefully thrown open.
And at that exact moment—
The unbreakable steel handcuffs that had held him down—
SHATTERED.
