Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Even if a "battle-hardened human" from Earth were here at this moment, they wouldn't feel anything.

　However, what Cong Yu clearly didn't know was...

　His "painful reaction" was captured on camera during the live stream, causing countless of his fans to flood the screen with comments.

　Basically, it's a comment expressing sympathy for him...

　Because those comments were all things like "Baby doesn't hurt, let's go home," they had a strong fan culture vibe. Therefore, I, the Crescent Moon Madman, have decided not to write about it...

　Quickly say thank you, Lord Crescent Moon Madman!

　[Attention all players, we are now entering the pairing phase again. Player number 1, please begin your selection.]

　Upon receiving the prompt, everyone looked towards Cong Yu, who was in position number one.

　In fact, if Cong Yu wanted, he could have started picking other players from the open-ended players in this round to match with.

　However, whether Cong Yu and those willing to match up can become the victor depends on how many people are willing to match up.

　If most people are prepared to watch another round, or if many people want to eliminate Cong Yu at this moment, then Cong Yu will be eliminated because there are not enough "matched players".

　To put it simply, this is a game of numbers and teams; the cards are merely a means of making choices.

　Cong Yu made her choice almost without hesitation, her tone terrifyingly certain: "Pair with number 50."

　Cong Yu's previous match was number 50, but the two had not been able to match successfully before, so naturally they would not be able to match this time either.

　This is Cong Yu's announcement.

　It could even be described as issuing an order.

　This proves that Cong Yu did not want to attempt to end the pairing in this round, and this choice was accepted by Lan Zuo, Lan You, and others.

　After their small group selected their previous pairings, everyone made the exact same choice.

　In this round of elimination, zero people were eliminated.

　And if nothing unexpected happens, this cycle will continue indefinitely...

　The only difference between the second round and the first round is that quite a few people chose [a different option] in this round.

　Reveal the contents of your cards.

　also……

　This refers to increasingly severe forms of punishment.

　[Attention all contestants, the penalty round is about to begin. Contestants who cannot withstand the punishment should be prepared to give up at any time.]

　[The punishment session begins.]

　The moment the broadcast ended, Cong Yu immediately felt the temperature of the seat beneath her begin to rise.

　It's not very high, but it's definitely not low either.

　It felt like being under the scorching summer sun, having your bicycle seat baked in the sun all afternoon.

　It's a temperature that makes people restless.

　Many contestants started to twist their bodies...

　Next came the third round.

　"number 50."

　Cong Yu made the same choice as always, therefore... the number of people eliminated in this round was still zero.

　This time, the punishment session seems to have once again chosen electric shock from among countless punishment methods... and this time the intensity was significantly higher.

　"Ahhhh!!!!"

　"Ah ah ah..."

　"Ohhhhhh!!"

　"Hmm hmm hmm hmm ah ah ah!!"

　"..." Amidst the screams around him, Cong Yu's eyes flickered... He was pondering whether he should make some changes in this round.

　Or……

　No, everyone's tolerance for pain is clearly different. And if that's the case, it's obviously good news for Cong Yu.

　Cong Yu thought to himself as he looked at the countless options on the screen that could match the cards in his hand.

　Knowing that the way you've chosen to pass the level may not be the casino's "standard way," it's still exciting enough.

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu took a deep breath and looked at almost all the contestants who were looking over.

　Whether it was a misperception or not, Cong Yu could smell the aroma of barbecue coming from these people who were dazed and disheveled after being electrocuted.

　"Big... big brother..."

　Lan Zuo spoke weakly, then closed his eyes on the spot: "Ugh, I'm done... I'll leave it to my sister."

　Lan Zuo smiled helplessly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Cong Yu: "Cong Yu, the fourth round of selection has begun."

　In the fourth round, what will Cong Yu choose?

　Cong Yu smiled and looked at everyone: "Can you still persevere? You definitely can, right..., to win?"

　"Match number fifty!"

　Cong Yu's resolute and unwavering words, uttered with such conviction, startled all the contestants.

　"..." Suddenly, they remembered Cong Yu's words before the competition: "Let's fall into hell together..."

　That was an invitation from hell.

　Chapter 966 The Kindness That Has Always Been Touted (A Big Lie)

　There are no guaranteed rules for winning this game.

　At least in Xiao Cui's and the doctor's statements, there was no mention of that... They could only guarantee the most basic option with a relatively high probability of success.

　That's the "follow-the-leader method".

　I sat in a seat near the back and prayed that I wouldn't be matched with the wrong player and mistakenly assigned to a team.

　Then, based on everyone's choices, the side with "more people" will be selected, and that side will advance.

　But Cong Yu realized...

　Actually, I am not incapable of winning.

　Yes... no, Cong Yu only needs to seize the initiative and eliminate the possibility of failure.

　It's not about becoming someone who takes sides, but about becoming the "team" itself.

　"..." The fourth round of "matchers" consisted of 10 people, meaning that five people actively sought out players whose cards matched their own.

　They committed suicide (tragic), and also implicated five other poor people.

　But the reason was naturally not that Cong Yu had given them any benefits, or that they felt the game would go on forever and they had lost patience.

　Rather, they didn't want to endure the subsequent punishment.

　Each round was more intense and exciting than the last, with special skills bringing countless surprises to the contestants during the punishment segments...

　These people really couldn't take it anymore.

　The five people who were implicated also seemed a little more relaxed... there was no anger about being framed.

　I can only feel fortunate.

　because……

　[Punishment begins]

　"Ahhhh!!!"

　"Uhhhhhh!!"

　"Hmm hmm hmm ahhh!!!"

　"..." Another round of torture arrived, and Cong Yu still pretended to cry out twice... This was not because he was not in pain.

　To be honest, because he didn't use magic protection, the current "stinging" punishment is already quite painful.

　Unfortunately, as a member of the "battle-hardened humans," he still wouldn't scream out in pain of this magnitude.

　At this moment, the situation of the players on the field can only be described as miserable... but there are still many players with determination shining in their eyes.

　Of the 78 people, there are probably more than 20 who want to play.

　Moreover, the fact that these people are concentrated in the upper half of the game number indicates that those they selected cannot give up.

　40 is greater than 38!

　This proves that Cong Yu can continue to torment everyone in this round... without worrying about being eliminated.

　After all, if no one wants to play with Cong Yu anymore, they can all choose to match with other players and then advance to the next level.

　So, the sixth round of the game...

　Amidst the pleading and expectant gazes of the crowd, Cong Yu decisively uttered his usual answer: "Number 50."

　At that moment, the expression on the face of the contestant number 50, whom he had paired with, was one of utter despair...

　The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses with trembling hands and made the same choice... continue with the mismatch.

　The muscular man's choice remains the same as always.

　Lan You was almost completely dumbfounded, and Lan Zuo had even actually fallen asleep, but...

　She still chose to stand on Cong Yu's side.

　The contestant sitting to the left and right of the blue seats had his face almost completely soaked with sweat and tears.

　"Huff huff—"

　Gasping for breath, the player stared blankly at the blurry cards on the screen: "I...I choose matchmaking."

　As he said this, he paused for a moment, then changed his words, saying, "No, not matchmaking, I choose... matchmaking with player number 76."

　Card number 76 has the same suit as his.

　This proves that he chose to give up in this round.

　After the contestant in seat number 5 gave up, it triggered countless others to give up as well... I can't stand it, I absolutely can't stand it.

　After this round of punishment, they might not die on the spot, but they could certainly be made to roll their eyes back and lose control of their bladder and bowels.

　All 15 players chose to match in this round.

　This is actually a very dangerous number for Cong Yu.

　As the first person to choose "not a match," all subsequent choices can only be left to the people who follow.

　If too many people can't take it anymore, this round might end... Cong Yu can't guarantee that, it's just a gamble.

　A gambler's game is one where gambling is the only option.

　It's no fun without gambling!

　With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked at the 48 people besides himself, and at their tired eyes under yet another round of freezing.

　Cong Yu took a deep breath, looking radiant, and gazed at the other contestants who kept shifting their sitting positions due to the sudden and excessive cold.

　Some of the contestants' faces had already turned pale.

　"..." It's about time to end this...

　Cong Yu thought to herself, looking at the cards on the screen, and selecting the cards that matched her own.

　At the same time, he announced, "Then, my friends... I will escape the fires of purgatory."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu, speaking as if in "poetry" to the aliens, attracted everyone's attention.

　Those were eyes that symbolized liberation and submission...

　Noticing these looks, Cong Yu made her choice without hesitation: "Number 99".

　Cong Yu's card is [Fire -3], while the 99th contestant's card is [Dark -7], which adds up to 10.

　Cong Yu and Number 99 simultaneously rose from their seats and entered the "Matcher" area...

　In response to Cong Yu's initial statement, the bespectacled man, the muscular man, and Lan You successively selected their matching options, thus completing the pairing.
