Chapter 9
Xu Fei’s confirmation left all the Weirdos in the room utterly shocked.
“Demon Egg!”
“A mere human dares to choose the Demon Egg?”
“Even we can’t handle such terrifying food!”
“Compared to the Demon Egg, those weird worms earlier were practically delicious!”
“In the entire Weird campus, only the Abhorrent Butcher can handle this thing!”
The Weirdos whispered among themselves, experiencing fear from a human for the first time.
Seeing this, the other players behind began to mock, their faces brimming with cruel smiles.
“Looks like he’s not some chosen one after all.”
“Demon Egg—just the name tells you it’s not something good.”
“Something that even scares these weirdos? The Dragon Country player is done for!”
“I said it earlier—showing off your love life leads to a quick death. Let’s see what he does now!”
At the same time, all the Dragon Country viewers watching the live stream fell into despair again, their palms sweating with anxiety.
“Why would Lord Xu pick something with that name?”
“He can’t be doing this on purpose. Look at those weirdos' reactions—this is definitely not good!”
“Right, it says Demon Egg, but who knows what it actually is?”
“No way, judging by the Weirdo’s reactions, it’s very likely a real Demon Egg!”
“Food that even Weirdo fear—how could a human possibly eat it?”
“Is Lord Xu’s legend going to end like this?”
“He’s already done so well to get this far!”
Viewers from other countries seized the opportunity, swarming into Dragon Country’s live stream like a plague, mocking relentlessly:
“Game Over!”
“Dragon Country’s cheating player finally gets what he deserves!”
“Without that weird female’s help, he’s nothing!”
“Dragon Country has an old saying: Karma always comes!”
For a moment, all of Dragon Country was in a state of distress, with 1.4 billion viewers anxiously watching Xu Fei.
At this moment, even Luo Yao was shocked by Xu Fei’s choice and couldn’t help but speak up.
“Xu Fei, you can still back out and choose again!”
The Abhorrent Butcher immediately turned his gaze to Luo Yao and said, “Disrupting the rules won’t do you any good.”
Luo Yao paused, then looked at Xu Fei with resolute eyes.
“Xu Fei, I’m telling you to choose again!”
Seeing Luo Yao’s undeniable gaze, Xu Fei rubbed his chin, thinking briefly.
After choosing the Demon Egg, he noticed the Weirdo’s expressions.
Now, he faced two choices.
One, trust Luo Yao.
Two, trust the Hidden Hint.
Though he hadn’t spent much time with Luo Yao, she had no intention of harming him.
As for the Hidden Hint, that was his golden ticket!
Without the Hidden Hint, he wouldn’t even have crossed paths with Luo Yao.
He wouldn’t have made it this far!
So, deep down, Xu Fei had always had one choice.
That was to trust the Hidden Hint.
But he hadn’t expected Luo Yao to try to help him so forcefully at this moment.
At this point, the Abhorrent Butcher’s voice interrupted Xu Fei’s thoughts.
“I’ve given you enough time to think. Have you made your choice?”
“I’ve decided.”
Xu Fei locked his gaze on the Demon Egg cart.
“I’m choosing this Demon Egg!” Seeing Xu Fei’s persistence, Dragon Country’s viewers fell into complete despair.
“Has Lord Xu gone love-crazy? Why not choose again?”
“No matter how you look at it, a Weirdo is still a Weirdo—not worth a human’s sympathy!”
“I thought Lord Xu would be unstoppable, but he’s turned out to be a lovesick fool!”
“Sigh, let’s think positively. Maybe Xu Fei can pull off a miracle?”
“With the lowest odds, he’s already been blessed by the heavens to get this far!”
“What’s coming will come. Blaming Xu Fei is pointless—he can’t hear us.”
All of Dragon Country’s people looked at Xu Fei on the screen with sorrow, their eyes filled with boundless grief.
After all, the players couldn’t see the live stream comments, so they had no way to influence Xu Fei’s choice.
On the other hand, the players from other countries couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Haha, pitying a weirdo—what a pathetic human.”
“No helping it—he chose his own path to death. No one can pull him back!”
“Dragon Country’s people must be having brain hemorrhages watching this, haha.”
“A lovesick fool is terrifying. If it were me, I’d definitely pick something else!”
“Exactly, the price is paid by the Weirdo, not me.”
“Hurry up, he’s made his choice. Make him eat the Demon Egg already!”
“The Demon Egg must be something truly evil!”
However, in the Weird World, the Abhorrent Butcher looked at Xu Fei with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“Your performance is impressive.”
“But I must tell you, this is a real Demon Egg.”
“In the entire Weird campus, no one but me can truly eat a Demon Egg.”
“Regardless, the rules cannot be changed. Now, you must eat it. Wasting it means only death!”
After speaking, the Abhorrent Butcher walked to Xu Fei and immediately lifted the lid off the Demon Egg cart.
Luo Yao looked at Xu Fei with complex emotions.
She clenched her fists, lost in thought.
But the other Weirds, seeing the lid removed, turned their faces away as if they’d seen the sun.
The other players also turned aside, afraid of seeing something horrific, though their faces held barely concealed anticipation.
They couldn’t wait to hear the broadcast announcing the Dragon Country player’s failure.
At this moment, the lid on the cart was fully removed, and the true Demon Egg finally appeared before Xu Fei.
An extremely pungent, nose-piercing smell filled the entire cafeteria.
Though the players didn’t look, just smelling the odor made some start retching uncontrollably.
“Ugh, how can something smell this bad?”
“It’s too terrifying. I swear the Dragon Country player won’t be able to eat this!”
“With that smell, no human could eat it. No wonder the Weirdos are scared!”
“Trust me, no one would dare eat this!”
“The Dragon Country player will be eliminated soon—just wait!”
At this moment, whether it was the human players or the Weird, all were grimacing in pain from the Demon Egg’s stench.
“This…”
“Is this the Demon Egg?”
Xu Fei looked at the thing on the plate, falling into self-doubt.
He stood there, stunned, as if in a daze.
It wasn’t that he was scared senseless, but the true appearance of the Demon Egg had shocked him!
Xu Fei’s face was full of disbelief.
He casually picked up the Demon Egg, even bringing it to his nose to sniff.
Seeing Xu Fei’s actions, even the Abhorrent Butcher was stunned.
Even Luo Yao stared at Xu Fei, her mouth slightly open, full of disbelief.
And the other Weirdos were utterly astonished.
“Wait…”
“I’m not seeing things, am I? He’s not afraid of the Demon Egg?”
