When “God” Decides To Start Over

Chapter 17: Confidence

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The ten balls entered the net—all clean shots.

“The trials have ended. Rewards distributed. The countdown to the final trial begins.” The cold voice sounded again.

Li Xiu quietly waited for the countdown to end. The ten consecutive enhancements were inferior to one enhancement in the C-class trial. This left him somewhat disappointed.

That wasn’t all Li Xiu wanted. He wanted to enter the strange darkness again to see if he could move the blood-patterned revolver.

“The final trial begins. The rules are as follows…”

The rules of the final test were somewhat different from before. Although it was still shooting, the shooting position wasn’t at the free throw line, but outside the three-point line.

There were a total of five shooting spots. There were two symmetrical bottom angles and two symmetrical 45-degree angles. The middle one had a slightly sharper angle.

Ten shots were likewise required. One was to shoot twice at every spot. Only by scoring all ten shots could one pass the trial. If one missed a shot, it would be considered a failure.

The final test’s difficulty couldn’t be too low. The E-class trial was already of such difficulty; the success rate of humans who hadn’t been strengthened was very low.

Professional basketball players couldn’t guarantee that they could score every three-pointer shot.

After all, humans weren’t machines. It was impossible for them to guarantee that there were no deviations every time they shot. It was normal for there to be deviations. After all, there were countless trajectories in space. No one could guarantee that they would throw the correct trajectory every time.

Of course, this normal situation didn’t apply to Li Xiu. Li Xiu picked up the basketball and shot two balls at every spot, successfully ending the final trial.

A venomous snake-like energy was injected into Li Xiu’s blood vessels and surged through his body. It grew in a barbaric manner as though it had expanded his blood vessels.

The strengthening of the final trial is clearly much better than the strengthening of the ordinary trials. Li Xiu looked up at the big screen and was disappointed to discover that the reward for the final trial didn’t have an admission ticket.

In fact, not only did it not offer an admission ticket, but he also didn’t have the four choices from before. There were only two options—Skill and Demon Cores.

This was equivalent to having no choice at all. The Demon Cores would be taken away when he brought them out. Li Xiu could only choose the skill.

Accompanied by a cold electronic voice, the skill was projected in front of Li Xiu, turning into an orange ring that floated in front of him.

Li Xiu extended his left pinky and inserted it into the ring. The ring immediately shrank, turning into a mark that seeped into his skin before disappearing. At the same time, information appeared in his brain out of thin air.

Frenzy: E-class trial skill. Stimulates the body’s potential, unleashing 120% of its abilities. Lasts for three seconds.

With a thought from Li Xiu, a red ring mark immediately appeared on his left pinky. Then, he felt his heart beat faster as his blood pumped quickly. His entire body seemed to be on stimulants, making Li Xiu feel as though he could kill two tigers.

It was somewhat difficult to kill two tigers, but after giving it a try, his speed and strength had increased to a certain extent. He was indeed much stronger than when he didn’t use skills.

Not a bad skill. It can strengthen my physique according to a percentage. In other words, the stronger my physique is, the more awesome this skill will be. However, the percentage of enhancement is a little lower. It’s only 20%. The duration is also a little short. It’s only three seconds. Li Xiu analyzed the pros and cons of Frenzy.

After Li Xiu teleported out, he didn’t see Jin Zhenhuan. After the Demon Cores were taken away, he was sent back to his room.

“You are very good at soccer and basketball. Sea and Sky Trials is indeed a good place for you. Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time. If you have enough time, you can definitely become an outstanding trial-taker here.” Bandit stared at Li Xiu and continued, “You have to be careful for tomorrow’s trial. Don’t be impulsive. Ignore Jin Zhenhuan and form a team with someone with a weaker physique.”

“Got it.” Li Xiu fell asleep on the bed. The physical improvement brought about by physical strengthening couldn’t completely wipe away his stamina expenditure.

After eleven consecutive rounds, Li Xiu was indeed exhausted.

Physical fitness is indeed a huge problem. To what extent can I pick up the blood-patterned revolver? As Li Xiu thought, he fell asleep.

Li Xiu had a dream that he saw himself participating in the trial with his good friends—shooting hoops, shooting goals, and having fun together. He easily obtained all sorts of rewards.

However, when he woke up, he realized that he was still sleeping in the dark and damp room. Bandit, who was on the top bunk beside him, was sitting there staring at him.

Before Li Xiu could say anything, Bandit suddenly asked, “Were you dreaming?”

“How did you know?” Li Xiu was somewhat surprised because he didn’t have the habit of talking in his sleep.

“You were smiling—a very wretched smile,” Bandit said.

“It looks like there’s something wrong with your sense of beauty. It’s understandable. After all, it’s very difficult for you to see a truly handsome man in such a place. It’s normal that you can’t tell the difference between good and bad,” Li Xiu said calmly as he lay in bed with his hands under his head as a pillow.

“Don’t you feel nervous at all?” Bandit sized up Li Xiu for a long time. She had indeed never seen a man like Li Xiu.

He was clearly in danger and could die at any moment. His survival remained in the hands of others, but he didn’t seem to realize it at all. It was as though he didn’t care if the sky collapsed.

“What’s there to be nervous about? If you’re fated to die, nothing is stopping it. Do what needs to be done. Just don’t disappoint yourself,” Li Xiu said.

“I hope you can keep that up.” Bandit didn’t say anything else.

She had seen almost everything in the past three years here. She had seen many people who usually appeared very open-minded, but most of them changed at the critical moment of life and death. Bandit wasn’t sure if Li Xiu was that kind of person.

“Nothing must go wrong at today’s trial,” Bandit exhorted repeatedly.

“There won’t be any accidents,” Li Xiu said with his eyes closed.

“It’s good to be confident, but don’t be conceited.” Bandit frowned.

“Confidence without ability is called conceit. Confidence with ability is called confidence,” Li Xiu said with a smile.

“I hope you are truly confident.” Bandit didn’t say anything else.

Soon, it was time for the second trial. Indeed, just as Bandit had predicted, this trial was the C-class Death Ball. The rules were the same as Bandit had said.

It was also a two-person team battle. Everyone had one chance to throw the ball and swing the club.

It was different from the rules of a real baseball game. In this trial’s rules, the batter only needed to swing the bat to hit the baseball and prevent any out to obtain one point. During the process, they couldn’t use bunts. It roughly meant that they couldn’t directly place the bat horizontally in the trajectory of the ball. They could only strike with the bat.

The pitcher only needed to throw the ball into a one-meter-long square frame and not have it be hit by the batter. That was considered one point.

If the ball flew out after being struck, neither side would score.

Both of them had a chance to be pitchers and batters. It was very fair. Whether they could obtain the rewards alive depended on their strength and luck.

“Do you dare to match up with me again?” Jin Zhenhuan came in front of Li Xiu and took the initiative to extend his hand, hoping to team up with him.
