Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!

The first ring, the most central security zone, was the city rebuilt after the apocalypse, where city walls would be erected;

The walls were indestructible, absolutely safe, and the people inside could barely maintain a living standard similar to that before the disaster.

The second ring, beyond the city walls but within the border line, was commonly known as the Wasteland;

On the border line would be the Patrol Corps, blocking the invasion of monsters, trying to ensure the safety of the Wasteland, but there were always a significant number of strays sneaking in, and humans could only survive in the cracks relying on one shelter after another.

The third ring, beyond the border line, was an area where humans were currently unable to set foot, filled with powerful monsters and strange creatures that once destroyed the old civilization of humankind, known as the "Wilderness";

Aside from the teams of Transcendents, no one could survive in the Wilderness, and without the protection of the Star Tower, death was an absolute certainty.

"This is a bad spot! What terrible luck, to run into a monster; now we are really in a pickle,"

Xu Shu looked at the prop library displayed by the Tai Chu Scroll, at the icon resembling a can of pepper, his mouth twitching.

"Ordinary... the lowest level."

"This is truly like a leaky house facing continuous rain, adding frost on top of snow!"

The level in the real world, coincidentally, was exactly the same as the game prop levels designed by Xu Shu.

Ordinary - Fine - Excellent - Flawless - Epic - Legendary - Forbidden.

Anyway, just directly using white, green, blue, purple, gold, red, black, from low to high to classify is fine, very convenient.

And this time, for the evaluation of his expedition, naturally, Xu Shu was dissatisfied, mainly with the reward.

"Died too quickly, didn't even live past three minutes... ah! I didn't even have the chance to stir up any big trouble!"

According to the instructions, the greater the deed accomplished, the better the evaluation one could get.

And with a good evaluation, one could get better props.

"Only one chance left..."

Xu Shu caressed the virtually nonexistent Tai Chu Scroll, his expression hesitant.

Why not try Legendary mode?

But remote waters can't quench an immediate thirst; for now, simulating the future was the only way to find a lifeline in death.

Moreover, investing in the Legendary level only one time was probably not as good as getting the guaranteed reward from a single expedition.

Just then, Xu Shu heard the sound of high heels from the corridor - unmistakably a woman's footsteps.

"Black Widow is here!"

Xu Shu's heart tightened, the future self he had envisioned was not surprised at this.

He quietly clung to the room door, peering through the iron window, revealing a pair of eyes to spy.

Click-clack!

Indeed, Black Widow swayed her enchantingly slim waist; she first went to room 209, opened the door, hugged the man inside and began kissing him, then the door closed, followed by panting sounds.

"Ah, it's him? Turns out they were captured together."

In this brief glimpse, Xu Shu clearly saw that the man in the cell across was the head of the previously dealt human trafficker.

Not three minutes later, that familiar scream sounded again.

His enemy had quickly received his "boxed lunch," but he couldn't feel the slightest joy.

The next one would be himself, where was there any joy to be found?

"Only one chance left..."

Xu Shu took in a deep breath, his mind made up, this time he would have to be a bit more shameless.

"Expedition mode, begin!"

As that distressing fog once again submerged him, Xu Shu entered the vivid carousel of life once more

[Detecting your current status...]

[Your situation is quite dire, Black Widow is at your doorstep, your choice is:]

[You can't wait to go up to her, grasp her soft waist, please and flatter her, getting handsy]

[Seeing your eagerness, Black Widow is overjoyed, and you two fiercely make love.]

[The relationship lasts a full hour, leaving Black Widow very satisfied.]

[After it's done, she holds you and says with a blushed face: In order to carry on the tradition of the Spider Family, she now has to eat you to nourish her children, and she indicates that there will be a place for you in her late husband's Funeral Hall.]

[The power disparity between you and her is vast, and once she had you in her grip, there was nothing you could do but close your eyes and wait for death,] maybe leaving some last words to prove you were here. What would your last words be?"

[Your last words are: "I want to go again."]

[???]

[You had a relationship, and now you should be dead. When it came time for you to leave your last words, you said all you wanted was another go. And so, you had another encounter.]

[Black Widow couldn't resist your breeding invitation due to her animal instincts during her mating season, resulting in your forbidden love continuously being consummated, time after time~~]

[It seems you've seen through the true nature of Black Widow: sexual cannibalism!]

[You knew that once you stopped and the reproductive task was completed, she would eat you. To survive, you relentlessly kept having relations. You really are a Heavenly Defiance~]

[Fear slowly emerged on Black Widow's face as her abdomen swelled up significantly~~]

[Unfortunately, as a human, your desires might be infinite, but your stamina is limited.]

[After ten times, you became complete and utter human trash, in the most literal sense of the word, as you lost your life.]

[Black Widow finally consumed you, upholding the honor of the Spider Family.]

[You're dead, this expedition is over, settling your score...]

[Rating: Strong and powerful, strong and powerful! Such is the way of Heavenly Defiance, who could understand the bitterness and effort behind your actions? From this day forward, for ten thousand years, the legend of the Man Who Entered the Spider will be told in Jianghu.]

[You have obtained an item: Ten Days of Doom (Epic)]

[You have triggered the keywords: "Heavenly Defiance; Forbidden Love", and you have been granted a buff, upgrading your reward.]

[Ten Days of Doom (Epic) "Ten Days of Doom (Forbidden)"]

[Ten Days of Doom] (Forbidden): A Forbidden Curse type tool, that requires activation in advance, each time you launch a complete attack on a target of the opposite sex, it counts once; the higher the count, the stronger the power, up to a maximum of ten times; effectiveness is reduced by 50% against same-sex targets.]

[Forbidden: This entry is unique.]

[Number of times initiated today: 0/3]

...

——Thump!

The fog cleared.

Xu Shu suddenly found himself lying on the ground, his very brain trembling.

Damn it, that was intense!

He had no idea what he had just gone through.

It was truly the limit; if the power imbalance was so colossal, this was the biggest thing he could imagine himself getting away with; otherwise, he'd simply have to resign himself to fate...

The rating wasn't bad, proving that even games favor those who defy Heaven. The more you play against the odds in the game, the better the rewards.

Xu Shu felt that all the sufferings he'd just endured were worth it.

With this, there might be a slim chance of survival.

But still, it didn't seem to be enough...

Xu Shu looked at the description of [Ten Days of Doom], thinking that although he had discovered Black Widow's weakness of 'unable to refuse,' if he were to assault consecutively ten times, according to the future he foresaw, he would die of exhaustion.

No, actually, there would be no need for ten times. By the seventh or eighth, he was already nearly beyond saving; what followed could only be seen as a flicker before extinguishing.

But there was no chance for rest mid-battle, because if he stopped, the Black Widow Spider could follow the rules and eat him up.

This meant that he had to unleash the Doom skill within eight times, or else both would perish together.

But would the power be enough if the count didn't reach ten? If it fell just a tad short, wouldn't that be a tragic death?

Xu Shu hesitated for a second, and Black Widow had already opened the door.

"No, wait, it doesn't necessarily have to be..." Xu Shu's gaze fell on the title [Sit-ups], and a bold idea popped into his head.

At that moment, Black Widow walked in with a coquettish laugh: "I saw you sneaking a look at me dining earlier. You've been a naughty boy, adorable little lamb. Do you want sister to pamper you... huh?"

Her facial expression suddenly tensed.

In the empty room, the sight of a young man doing sit-ups on the bed, brimming with the scent of youthful hormones, smiling at her:

"I'm warming up, been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, let's reproduce!"]

The keyword "reproduce" triggered!
