Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 237: 165, Apart from Team D, teams A, B, and C were completely wiped out.

I just felt a little numb in my body.

Beyond that, there were no other discomforts.

The only peculiar thing was that a notification appeared before my eyes.

[You are undergoing a high-intensity electric shock attack, electrical resistance +1+1+1+1+1…]

It was the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” principle in action.

The more I was electrocuted, the higher my electrical resistance became.

…

Approximately 10 seconds later.

The high-intensity electric shock attack finally stopped.

Both girls were shocked badly, sitting powerlessly on the ground, limbs too weak to stand up.

Zhang Kai had it even worse than them, with many of his electronic components damaged, turning him into a disabled person on the spot, struggling even to lift his hand.

Zhao Yuanzhong, having stronger physical fitness, could barely stand up.

“Lin Zichen, how come you’re alright?”

Seeing Lin Zichen standing as if nothing had happened, Zhao Yuanzhong was immediately filled with confusion.

Lin Zichen explained, “I’ve never been very afraid of electricity since I was little, my electrical resistance is far above the average person.”

Zhao Yuanzhong’s eyes widened, “Really? There’s such a physique?”

[…]

A countdown started appearing on the display screen.

Shangguan Yueying noticed it and immediately called out anxiously to Zhao Yuanzhong, “Captain, the next round of Rock-Paper-Scissors is about to begin!”

At her word, Zhao Yuanzhong snapped to attention, quickly standing in position facing the display screen, ready for the Rock-Paper-Scissors.

At the moment the countdown ended, he played Rock-Paper-Scissors with the virtual character simultaneously.

Both chose paper.

It was a tie.

[Not bad, it’s a tie]

The next second after the notification appeared, the tightly closed iron door automatically moved up 1 centimeter.

Then, another countdown began appearing on the display screen.

[10s]

[9s]

[…]

“Crap, it’s starting again?!”

Watching the countdown on the display screen, Zhao Yuanzhong felt his scalp tingle.

Lin Zichen guessed, “It seems that once the Rock-Paper-Scissors game starts, it can’t be stopped until you either clear the level or get shocked out of the game.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhong felt like spitting blood, “Give me a break, what kind of devilish stage is this?”

Quickly.

The countdown ended.

Zhao Yuanzhong and the virtual character played Rock-Paper-Scissors simultaneously again.

The former chose paper, the latter scissors.

[Unfortunately, you lost]

“Ah!”

With a scream, the other four people, aside from Lin Zichen, were once again shocked numb.

The iron door, which had barely opened 1 centimeter, was also firmly closed once more.

10 seconds later, the electric shock ended.

Shen Qinghan and Shangguan Yueying were shocked to the point where they could only lean against the wall unable to stand.

Zhao Yuanzhong was shocked to the point of kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Kai was still the worst off, directly shocked until his face was numb.

Only Lin Zichen stood unaffected as ever, looking as if nothing had happened.

[10s]

[9s]

[…]

The countdown began yet again.

Unable to withstand it, Zhao Yuanzhong moved aside and said to Lin Zichen, “I’m numb from the shock and can’t stand up for a while. You’re not afraid of electricity, so it’s your turn.”

“Okay.”

Lin Zichen responded and walked in front of the display screen to face the virtual character.

[A new round of Rock-Paper-Scissors begins]

The countdown ended, and Lin Zichen and the virtual character played Rock-Paper-Scissors at the same time.

He chose scissors, and the virtual character chose rock.

[Unfortunately, you lost]

As soon as this notification appeared, the metal room instantly became electrified.

“Ah!”

Shen Qinghan and the others were shocked numb once again.

Lin Zichen continued to play Rock-Paper-Scissors.

He tried 6 times.

Won once.

Tied once.

Lost four times.

“Lin Zichen, do you even know how to play Rock-Paper-Scissors? You’ve lost four times out of six, are you trying to electrocute us to death?”

Zhao Yuanzhong, directly shocked into a state of grievance, couldn’t help but let out a complaint.

Zhang Kai, lying paralyzed on the ground, struggled to lift his head to look towards Shen Qinghan and asked, “Xiao Shen, have you figured out any patterns?”

Shen Qinghan shook her head, “Not yet, there are too few samples.”

Zhang Kai despaired.

This wasn’t crossing through stages!

This was outright torture for the Mechanically Modified Human!

Everyone was being shocked numb!

[10s]

[9s]

[…]

Soon, a new round of Rock-Paper-Scissors began.

One round after another.

Lin Zichen’s face darkened.

After 10 tries, he had lost 7 times, leaving the other four electrocuted to the brink of death.

All of them lay powerlessly on the ground.

With bodies twitching slightly.

Their faces looked terrible.

Lin Zichen looked back at the four of them.

Seeing that their injuries weren’t severe but only painful, he let go of his worries and continued to play Rock-Paper-Scissors with the virtual character.

As for Zhang Kai, his electronic parts were damaged, but he himself wasn’t hurt much, it didn’t matter much.

“Xiao Chen, my neck’s gone numb, I can’t lift my head for a while and I can’t see the display screen…”

Shen Qinghan, nearly shocked into a vegetative state, could only seek Lin Zichen’s help with a weak voice.

She wanted Lin Zichen to help her to the screen so she could see the virtual character’s Rock-Paper-Scissors clearly.

“Then I’ll carry you over to see.”

Lin Zichen said as he walked over to Shen Qinghan and bent down to lift her up.

He held her effortlessly with one hand.

Allowing her to sit on his forearm, lean against his chest, and rest her head on his shoulder.

It looked as if a father was carrying a young daughter.

Great strength allowed for much liberty.

[…]

The new round of Rock-Paper-Scissors was about to start.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen hurriedly carried Shen Qinghan over.

In the moment the countdown ended, he and the virtual character threw their hands at the same time.

He chose scissors, and the virtual character chose rock.

[Unfortunately, you lost]

“Ah!”

The people in the room were shocked numb yet again.

Shen Qinghan didn’t scream, but she, too, was shocked to the point where her mouth slightly opened, looking very uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, for the sake of successfully clearing the stage, she had to endure.

Firmly memorizing every move of the virtual character, trying to see if she could discern a pattern.

Unfortunately, fate was not on her side.

In the following time.

Lin Zichen played Rock-Paper-Scissors with the virtual character 23 times, and Shen Qinghan was still unable to discern any patterns.

The virtual character’s Rock-Paper-Scissors seemed to have no pattern at all.

“Xiao Chen, I can’t do this anymore, if I get shocked again I feel like I might wet myself…”
