The Gluttonous Demon General was channeling his sorrow and anger into his appetite, completely engrossed in eating.
Because he had broken a leg when he fell earlier, he was now moved to the bed, a large pile of meat stacked around him, nearly collapsing the poor bed beneath him. Every time the Gluttonous Demon General moved, the wooden bed would groan under the unbearable weight.
However, while this scene was comical, it was also normal. What was truly strange was that the Gluttonous Demon General’s broken left leg was neither bandaged nor splinted; it lay twisted on the bed, and as he consumed more and more food, the broken part of that leg was gradually coming together!
[Food is his means of regaining strength.] It seemed that Yu Yi saw Xin Meng’s confusion and explained.
The food the Gluttonous Demon General was eating was continuously brought to him by the guards, and in no time at all, it was in his mouth. Although there were at least ten guards running around like bees while he ate alone, the amount of food on the table remained constant, never increasing.
This was hardly a normal stomach; Xin Meng suspected he had a black hole hidden inside him.
At that moment, when a guard placed something for him and turned to leave, his face accidentally entered the screen. Xin Meng hesitated and said, “Did that person… just glance over here? Did he notice us?”
Yu Yi wrote, [One of our own.]
“He’s from the Indulgence Legion?” Xin Meng asked in surprise.
He saw the man, with his back to the Gluttonous Demon General and the other guards, quietly make an OK gesture towards the screen before quickly leaving.
On the screen, the Gluttonous Demon General was eating non-stop, and his body was actually getting fatter at an abnormal rate, almost like a balloon being inflated, the process clearly visible to the naked eye.
It seemed the Gluttonous Demon General was unaware of this; instead, the other guards were so frightened that they broke their plates, and a few stepped forward to dissuade him. However, they were too nervous to articulate their words clearly, and the Gluttonous Demon General did not understand their meaning, tilting his head in confusion while continuing to eat.
His cheeks and forehead swelled, gradually pushing his eyes out of sight. His hearing was also affected, making it even harder for him to understand what the guards were saying. He felt something was off, but his habit of thinking while eating led him to swallow even more.
When the last piece of bread on the table was groped and stuffed into his mouth, his round body, which had almost become a ball, could no longer withstand the pressure of expansion, and with a “bang,” it exploded!
Before the splattered blood and chunks of flesh could appear on the screen, Yu Yi switched the scene.
“Whoa…” Xin Meng realized he had been so engrossed that he had unconsciously held his breath.
“Why did he suddenly explode? What did that person do?” Xin Meng quickly asked Yu Yi.
[When he was young, he accidentally ingested a type of herb that causes rapid weight gain. Usually discarded by others, he turned this misfortune into a blessing, converting food into energy, becoming one of the Seven Demon Generals. The food he just ate contained a lot of this herb.]
Xin Meng immediately understood; it was no wonder he expanded so rapidly after consuming food laced with excessive amounts of this herb, ultimately causing himself to explode.
“How did you think of this!” Xin Meng’s eyes sparkled, genuinely impressed that Yu Yi could come up with such a method!
[Combining his past experiences and personality traits. If it were something else, it wouldn’t have caught him off guard.]
Using food to attack, since the Gluttonous Demon General consumed too much and too varied, swallowing many things without chewing, adding a little extra to the food was the easiest method.
It seemed Yu Yi had conducted thorough research. He never expected the game to be so well-crafted, even preparing the backstories of each character— or perhaps… this was a hidden shortcut left by the game, and Yu Yi had precisely grasped the key part, finding the correct way to unlock the shortcut.
The screen switched again, this time revealing the Jealousy Demon General.
He was embracing two beautiful maidens, surrounded by four or five more, sitting on a high throne, addressing the soldiers below.
The Jealousy Legion had suffered heavy losses in the previous competition, with over two hundred dead, leaving fewer than a hundred soldiers remaining. Of course, they still had the largest number compared to other legions, whose situations could be imagined.
The remaining ninety or so soldiers were all quite unattractive, their appearances fully reflecting the Jealousy Legion’s consistent style, looking extremely sinister, with timid personalities and mediocre abilities. Their only advantage was that they had unlocked the sea of people tactic skill.
Xin Meng listened to the Jealousy Demon General’s speech, which essentially conveyed that so many had died in the legion, everyone must avenge them, and how despicable the Indulgence Legion was, but they were just a bunch of useless drunks, not to be feared, etc.
He was almost dozing off, but at the end, there was an unexpected gain— the Jealousy Demon General announced that they had allied with other demon generals to jointly deal with Yu Yi!
So this was the reason they insisted on completing the third competition! Up until now, even if the other demon generals won the third competition, they would still lose to Yu Yi. Xin Meng had previously wondered why they continued; was it a predetermined process of the game that had to be completed?
But it turned out there was such a twist!
This game was simply terrifying. If it were another player, upon learning they were bound to win, they would definitely let their guard down and then be caught off guard in the final competition, being jointly eliminated!
The Jealousy Demon General was still speaking endlessly— the established alliance included the Greed Demon General and the Gluttonous Demon General. The Furious Demon General was angry due to Dong Xiu’s death and was currently venting by killing people in the basement, so he couldn’t be contacted, but he likely wouldn’t refuse.
Once the alliance was officially formed, they would first team up to eliminate Yu Yi in the final competition!
Once Yu Yi, the one with the most points, was dead, the others could slowly compete.
Ultimately, it was because Yu Yi’s performance was too outstanding; the tall tree attracts the wind, making him the most feared presence, so they were willing to temporarily cooperate with their opponent to eliminate him first.
“Fortunately, we took the initiative and killed the Gluttonous Demon General!” Xin Meng said with lingering fear, “Otherwise, if they teamed up, it would be troublesome.”
Yu Yi did not deny this; after all, he was not a god. Facing a joint attack from several enemies with similar strength, even he would likely not be able to escape.
But he would not let such a situation arise— this came from his rich experience and terrifyingly precise judgment.
He signaled for Xin Meng to continue watching.
To boost morale and celebrate their victory in advance, the Jealousy Demon General decided to prepare a lavish banquet, with delicious food and sexy women!
The soldiers below cheered!
Usually, the soldiers’ banquets were held in another hall, but this time it was moved to the main hall. The Jealousy Demon General remained in place, setting up a small table for himself, while long rows of tables were laid out below, adorned with candlesticks and plates of various delicacies that made one’s mouth water.
Indeed, as long as it wasn’t the Greed Demon General, they were all quite generous.
But these were not the most attractive; when the beautiful dancers took the stage, the soldiers’ eyes turned red, and they scrambled to compete for attention. However, in contrast, the dancers’ expressions were quite forced; after all… women also have their aesthetics.
They didn’t even glance at the men they were embracing, only casting adoring and loving gazes at the Jealousy Demon General sitting at the head table.
The Jealousy Demon General took a sip of red wine, enjoying the attention of all the women present, thoroughly satisfied with the situation.
The banquet officially began, and the soldiers embraced the women, starting to feast heartily.
Xin Meng felt a bit bored; did he have to watch them eat the whole time? Moreover, seeing them eat so deliciously made him hungry. Just as he was about to suggest to Yu Yi that they should have dinner too, he inadvertently caught sight of a dish on their table and was instantly stunned.
That soup… why did it look so familiar?
That purple color was exactly the same as the pills Yu Yi had fed him before!
He quickly looked at Yu Yi, who nodded at him.
“What are you trying to do by giving them this?” Xin Meng asked, puzzled.
The answer soon revealed itself.
A series of loud bangs echoed, and nearly a hundred unattractive jealous soldiers suddenly transformed, their uneven skin becoming smooth as silk, their small eyes turning into thick brows and big eyes, their features corrected, muscles bulging, and their bodies becoming fit with eight-pack abs!
They had transformed from eyesores to eye candy in an instant.
This was not just cosmetic surgery; it was akin to being remade!
The Jealousy Demon General could hardly believe his eyes. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred handsome men appeared below, each radiating an aura that could almost blind people!
The soldiers were equally bewildered, looking at each other in shock. Even the previously disdainful dancers were overjoyed, some even rushing to kiss the handsome faces beside them!
The Jealousy Demon General dropped the wine glass in his hand, shattering it on the ground, countless shards flying.
“Y-Your Excellency…” The soldiers snapped back to reality from their surprise, recalling the Jealousy Demon General’s temperament, and were instantly terrified, fearing he would throw them all into the garden or kill them on the spot!
They all simultaneously looked up, eagerly watching the Jealousy Demon General.
Facing the hundreds of bright, shining eyes below, with long, thick eyelashes and deep, enchanting pupils… this was something even the Jealousy Demon General had longed for, yet now it was all on these lowly soldiers, and the women that belonged to him were staring at these men, making him no longer the center of attention…
The Jealousy Demon General’s fingers trembled, his eyes turning red with anger, and he couldn’t catch his breath, fainting directly!
“Your Excellency!” There was a chorus of calls below, but not a single soldier dared to approach. What if he suddenly woke up? That would be the most unfortunate for the one closest to him. No one was willing to throw themselves into the line of fire, and even the women who had originally surrounded him screamed and ran away, not daring to stay near the Jealousy Demon General.
Poor Jealousy Demon General, he could only slump awkwardly in his chair, surrounded by soldiers and women, yet ending up in a situation where no one cared.
At that moment, a soldier finally stepped forward. He adjusted his helmet, stumbling over, casting a fearful glance at the Jealousy Demon General, stammering, “I-I’ll take Your Excellency back to the bedroom…”
Finally, a brave soul!
His words seemed to rescue everyone present!
A chorus of “Go quickly!” “It’s up to you!” rang out, as the arduous task was taken over by someone else. The others didn’t care where this little soldier had come from; although he looked unfamiliar, everyone’s expressions had changed, and it was only natural they wouldn’t recognize him.
Thus, the little soldier nervously helped the Jealousy Demon General up, facing no obstacles, and led him out of the main hall through a side door. The soldiers below exchanged glances, finally unable to contain their joy, and pounced on the nearest women, continuing their revelry.
The scene followed the little soldier and the Jealousy Demon General. As the side door closed behind them, the little soldier’s fearful expression instantly vanished. He threw the Jealousy Demon General to the ground, a sharp blade appearing in his hand, crouching down and directly stabbing it into the Jealousy Demon General’s heart!
The Jealousy Demon General didn’t even let out a grunt before stopping his breath.
Having witnessed the entire process, Xin Meng was utterly dumbfounded, incredulously saying, “He… he just fainted like that? How could a dignified demon general…”
[Candles, red wine.] Yu Yi revealed the mystery.
“Candles? The kind you had me give to Qi Xiaokui that amplifies inner emotions? You had someone secretly replace them?” Xin Meng exclaimed in surprise, “No wonder! The Jealousy Demon General is the most petty; he can’t even stand others being more attractive than him. Seeing so many handsome men appear before him, he must have found it impossible to accept. With his narrow-mindedness amplified by the candles, it’s no wonder he fainted… That soldier was one of your plants?”
[Yes.]
With this, another demon general was extinguished, and Xin Meng could almost see a big red cross marked on his face.
Suddenly recalling the item he had given to Qi Xiaokui, Xin Meng couldn’t help but deeply doubt whether the competition in three days could still proceed.
What was supposed to be a three-day period of recuperation was clearly a life-threatening three days!
