Bitten by a Five-Pacer? Don't Panic. Take Four Steps and Let It Bite You Again

The owner of a billion-dollar company decided to develop a newly discovered island in the Pacific and launched a deserted-island survival contest. Anyone who survived on the island for a year would win a hundred million.

There were a hundred contestants, and their lives on the island would be livestreamed from start to finish.

Chen Xuan was one of them. On the first day of the broadcast, he was bitten by a five-pacer viper.

Given the snake's venom, he would surely die without prompt treatment.

Ding! Congratulations on being attacked by a five-pacer viper. Poison Resistance +1.

Chen Xuan: ???

Looking at the flood of comments telling him to find a doctor, Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

"Guys... unless I'm mistaken, that snake that just bit me should be a five-pacer..."

Chen Xuan explained calmly, "It's called a five-pacer because they say that after being bitten by one, you walk five steps forward and then die from the poison."

"So, I've figured out how to deal with it... I'll just take four steps each time and let it bite me again..."
