When life gives rise to civilization, life will become uncivilized.

But wherever there are people, order will eventually arise.

So the two choices for this mission are essentially just the difference between lawful good and lawful evil.

It’s worth noting that history has recorded a large social experiment where even if all sorts of brutal criminals are thrown onto a deserted island, they wouldn’t kill each other but would slowly establish a regime.

Yes, this "deserted island" is Australia.

For Lv Bai, choosing between the two mission objectives is simply about picking the easiest one to complete.

There’s no need to worry that letting his forces act freely will cause any chaos.

But I digress, back to the restaurant.

Probably because Lv Bai has a good relationship with Xia and Xia Mei, many opportunistic individuals come to the restaurant to support the business.

This has made the restaurant’s business quite good recently.

In the semi-open kitchen, not only Xia Mei is busy, but even Ma Qingyun, also known as Xia, doesn’t wander around the street as before and instead stays to help in the shop.

As soon as Lv Bai walked into the restaurant, many customers immediately recognized him.

On the spot, three or four customers who were eating stood up and greeted him obsequiously.

"Master Bai, you’re here?"

"Good evening, Master Bai."

"Master Bai, sit here, the view is nice."

Lv Bai raised his hand slightly downward, signaling them to relax.

Of course, no matter how friendly he acted, the position of Speaker was clear, and these customers in the store dared not really let their guard down.

This sort of thing can’t be corrected, so Lv Bai simply let it be. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He then looked at Xia Mei, who was smiling at him from the kitchen, and softly said, "Bring me a bowl of shrimp casserole rice."

Xia Mei nodded vigorously and immediately got busy.

Ma Qingyun then walked out of the kitchen and led Lv Bai to sit at a window seat.

"Brother Bai, this seat is reserved especially for you. No one else can use it, and whenever you come to our shop to eat, you can sit here."

He wiped some water stains off his apron and explained with a smile, "I’m not trying to curry favor; you saved my sister, and such a great kindness, I really don’t know how to thank you except by doing these little things."

Lv Bai sat at the seat, and while waiting for the casserole rice to be served, he casually asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

"Same as always, just doing whatever makes money. I just want to save enough to take my sister for treatment."

Ma Qingyun laughed and lamented, "The world is unpredictable. If I told people that I once blocked and extorted a Speaker like you, I bet no one would believe it."

Soon, Xia Mei came over with a tray carrying a steaming bowl of shrimp casserole rice.

Noticing from the corner of his eye that more people were entering the store, Ma Qingyun helplessly said, "Brother Bai, enjoy your meal, it’s a bit busy right now."

Lv Bai nodded, "Don’t worry about me, focus on your work."

Ma Qingyun took two steps away, then came back looking puzzled at Xia Mei, who was still staring blankly at Lv Bai, and called out, "Dongmei, what are you doing? We’ve got customers!"

Xia Mei snapped out of it, blushed, and quickly ran back to the kitchen.

After the siblings left, the area around the seat became quieter.

Lv Bai didn’t mind and leisurely savored the bowl of shrimp casserole rice.

However, before he could eat half, he suddenly put down his chopsticks.

Because a familiar mechanical voice resonated in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Objective Task Two: The Sinful Night City (Completed)]

[The current Death Arena duel will close in thirty seconds, please all Death Fighters remain in place and do not move.]

With Lv Bai present, the dining environment inside the restaurant wasn’t too noisy, and most customers only whispered, fearing to disturb him.

He looked at the restaurant full of customers before him and couldn’t help but smile.

"It’s over, huh."

The next second, the world froze, and then shattered.

...

[Ding!]

[The fourth Death Arena duel ends, beginning return.]

[Settlement in progress—]

[Settlement complete.]

[Final Death Fighter Ranking: 1]

[Total Death Fighter Points: 218 (Double points in effect)]

[Top ten rewards have been issued]

[First-place reward has been issued]

[Performance in this duel: Unbelievable]

[Meeting performance standards, one ability from this duel can be permanently retained]

[Reward details can be viewed on the data panel.]

...

In a luxuriously decorated room.

The room was incredibly quiet, and the gentle piano music made people feel comfortable.

Just that the surging power within had vanished instantly, and it made the body feel a bit heavier.

Fortunately, having returned from the Death Arena to the real world a few times, Lv Bai had grown accustomed to this peculiar experience.

Without lingering too much, he recovered.

He stretched, scanned his body to ensure nothing bizarre appeared on him.

Then he got up and walked into the bathroom, washed his hands, stretched, and lay down on the expensive bed.

He lay there with his eyes closed, resting while checking the rewards from the Death Arena duel.

[Death Arena ID: 84****1970]

[Username: Clever Murphy]

[Main Title Equipped: Innocent Smile (Two-Star)] (Click to view equippable titles)

[Subtitles Equipped: Mad Slaughter (Four Stars), Ultimate Killing Demon (Four Stars)]

[Talent: 103.8+21.8 (1 point can be converted into 0.1 Talent, currently converting, estimated time: seven days)]

[Abilities: ?, Flash Time, All Ink (click to choose)]

[Evaluation: Such an exaggerated Talent, even considering history, this ranks as a genius.]

Lv Bai didn’t check the newly obtained titles but opened the abilities selection tab.

[Shaving Dead Uncle (Silver)], [Spiritual Time House (Color)], [Sixth Sense Enhancement (Gold)].

This time in the Death Arena duel, the three types of abilities, strictly speaking, made it the least complicated choice.

Whether it was [Shaving Dead Uncle] or [Sixth Sense Enhancement], they both held no appeal for Lv Bai.

He didn’t hesitate for a moment and chose [Spiritual Time House] without reservation.

In comparison, given his current absurdly high Talent Value, in some Death Arenas with Cultivation Systems, [Spiritual Time House] might unexpectedly be quite useful.

After retaining the ability, Lv Bai proceeded to click open the two titles acquired this time.

Hidden titles are not obtained repeatedly, nor did he go out of his way to achieve those hidden accomplishments.

This time through the Death Arena duel, naturally, he only had the first place and top ten title rewards.

Such titles basically served as star upgrade materials for him.

However,

Forget it.

"Not bad, at least another colored ability, and my Talent increased a bit more."
