When “God” Decides To Start Over - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 No Chance

Li Xiu tried using the Eye of the Fly, and his dark-brown pupils instantly dilated, covering his entire eye. The whites of his eyes couldn’t be seen at all.

If one took a closer look, they would discover that the dark-brown eyes were covered in grids, like the compound eyes of a fly. They looked terrifying.

After activating the Eye of the Fly, the world became a little different in his eyes. Not only did his field of vision expand, but the visualization also changed.

A minute passed quickly. He wanted to activate it again, but he felt a sharp pain in his eyes like needles. He hurriedly stopped using it.

E-class skills can be used for three seconds, and C-class skills are one minute. I wonder if there are any restrictions on A-class and B-class skills. What about S-class skills? These skills intrigued Li Xiu more and more.

The only way to obtain a skill was to complete the final trial, but it was very difficult for ordinary people to clear it.

For example, a C-class final mission required him to defeat his 1.5x strengthened shadow clone. It looked like Li Xiu had completed it very easily, but in fact, it was very difficult for ordinary people to defeat a shadow clone whose physique and skills were 1.5x better than him.

The difficulty for a C-class final mission was already this high, so it was even harder to imagine B-class and A-class. There probably weren’t many trial-takers with advanced skills.

There were probably even fewer people who were as lucky as Bandit to gain an S-class skill.

A skill like Eye of the Fly is also useful for Demon Suiter. I can aim for more skills in the future, Li Xiu thought to himself. Even if he left the Abyss Base, he could obtain skills from other trial grounds.

There are two more trials before the S-class trial. If I’m lucky, I might be able to obtain two more skills. Li Xiu was still in thought when he was teleported out of the trial grounds.

Old Gu took away the demon cores he had obtained, but Jin Zhenhuan was nowhere to be seen.

Li Xiu didn’t care about Jin Zhenhuan. When the latter chickened out the first time, he was destined to lose to Li Xiu.

Before he was sent back to his room, Li Xiu took a look at the two Demon Suiters. The demon suits they were wearing were an older model, so their might naturally couldn’t compare to the latest demon suits. More importantly, these demon suits were a relatively early design that had some flaws.

As long as I have a chance to get close to a Demon Suiter, it won’t be difficult to snatch the demon suit. Li Xiu had long been planning how to snatch the demon suit.

He didn’t really place all his hopes on Bandit’s plan. He wasn’t used to relying on others, and his own considerations were the most important and trustworthy.

“Collaboration is based on trust. How can I trust you again?” Bandit said with a cold expression when she saw Li Xiu return.

Now that they were the only ones left in the room, they didn’t have many scruples when speaking.

“Are you referring to what happened at baseball?” Li Xiu asked with a smile.

“What else?” Bandit didn’t find it funny.

“If I say that this is really my first time playing baseball, would you believe me?” Li Xiu asked.

“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Bandit naturally didn’t believe him.

“Didn’t you say that cooperation is based on trust? Then, do you trust me?” Li Xiu asked.

Bandit was slightly stunned. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, nothing came out of it.

Just as Li Xiu had said, she didn’t trust him. How could she? It didn’t make sense for a person who had just come into contact with baseball and had only such a physique to be the final winner of the trial. Even people like Rhode and Jin Zhenhuan couldn’t defeat him.

No other person would believe it, much less Bandit.

The two of them didn’t say anything else and returned to their respective beds to rest. They didn’t speak again until the trial began again.

Just as Bandit had predicted, it was another E-level trial. Moreover, it was a repeat of the previous trial-another free-throw match.

Jin Zhenhuan didn’t participate in the trial, but Old Gu did. However, Old Gu left after the first round of the trial. As expected, Li Xiu reached the end and passed the final test again.

Between the choice of a skill and stats, Li Xiu naturally chose the skill, but the outcome was a little depressing.

The rewarded skill was still Frenzy because if the skill was already possessed, the skill did not stack. It was a waste.

The skill rewards for the E-class trial can’t all be the same skill, right? If I had known this would happen, I would’ve chosen stats. Li Xiu didn’t mind too much. After returning to his room, he continued preparing for the next trial.

The next trial was the most important. Bandit said that it was likely a B-class or A-class. If the trial of that difficulty was a competition of physique, Li Xiu would be in trouble. However, Li Xiu firmly believed that any trial could be resolved with technique. As long as it wasn’t an absolute crushing disadvantage, he had a chance of clearing the trial.

Bandit still had no intention of talking to Li Xiu. She didn’t even look at him until the trial grounds reopened.

At this trial, there weren’t many ordinary trial-takers left. Including the 11 administrators participating in the trial, there were only 35 people in total.

Jin Zhenhuan also participated in this trial. He had already made up his mind to defeat Li Xiu in this trial.

“Welcome to the Sea and Sky Trials. The trial’s difficulty is B-class. The rules of the trial are as follows…” A B-class mark and trial rules appeared on the screen.

Bandit’s expression turned nasty when she saw that it was a B-class test. Ordinary B-class tests had rather high requirements for one’s physique. Many trial-takers who had undergone more than 100 physical enhancements couldn’t even survive the test’s first round, much less someone with Li Xiu’s physique.

After reading the rules of the trial, her expression turned even uglier.

The test this time was still the same track and field category as before, but it wasn’t 800 meters but 400 meters hurdles.

It wasn’t solely an elimination system of the stragglers. Those who couldn’t make it into the top ten would die. Those who couldn’t make it in 38 seconds and those who touched the hurdles died as well.

What did it mean to run 38 seconds in a 400-meter hurdle? The previous 400-meter hurdle man’s world record was 46.78 seconds. 38 seconds meant that they had to be nearly ten seconds faster than the world record. Was this the speed that humans could achieve?

Moreover, there were 11 administrators whose physique was above Li Xiu’s. They definitely wouldn’t lose to Li Xiu when it came to running. Even if Li Xiu got a timing of less than 30 seconds, he wouldn’t be able to defeat those 11 administrators, much less Jin Zhenhuan.

In Bandit’s opinion, this was an absolute battle of physique. If Li Xiu’s physique was slightly inferior, he definitely wouldn’t have a chance of winning.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect such a test.” Bandit finally spoke and expressed her apology.

“Why are you apologizing?” Li Xiu asked in surprise.

“Don’t you understand? It’s impossible for you to win this test. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, tell them to me. If I have a future, I’ll think of a way to help you complete them,” Bandit said.

“There’s no need. I’ll fulfill my wishes myself,” Li Xiu said calmly.

“She’s right. You don’t have a chance anymore. It’s best if you say your last words. I won’t give you a chance this time.” Jin Zhenhuan looked like victory was in his grasp.
