438: Chapter 7 Dice · Stationery · Messages 438: Chapter 7 Dice · Stationery · Messages The King of Destiny’s gift to Shiyu Lianyi was a piece of white paper, titled “Reward for Rectifying Chaos,” with the following ten lines written on it.

1 Eliminate scars on the body, the curse of recurring scars will be converted into a Spiritual Attack (say farewell to the past)

2 One thread of destiny (be ready before using)

3 One set of new clothes (it’s time to change your outfit)

4 Eliminate scars on the body, the curse of recurring scars will be converted into a Spiritual Attack (say farewell to the past)

5 A random stroke of good luck, the cost being Gongsun Ce will suffer a random misfortune (such is the unpredictability of life)

6 One opportunity to proactively initiate a Curse Scale trade, the cost to be paid by Huojin Realm (fate is unfair)

7 Eliminate scars on the body, the curse of recurring scars will be converted into a Spiritual Attack (say farewell to the past)

8 A chance to impact Creation Realm (success depends on you)

9 One opportunity to actively summon Huojin Realm (do you really need this?)

10 Critical Success/Critical Failure [1d2]

“…”

Everyone at the table stared at the option paper for a long time with strange expressions, and it was Gongsun Ce who was the first to speak.

“Is there a possibility, I mean just a possibility,” he said seriously, “that the Huojin God is actually your real father?”

He carefully chose “Huojin God” instead of King of Destiny, because Agent Will had specifically instructed him not to mention His real title in front of members who had never been in contact with Him.

“Don’t be like that, Gongsun…”

“He even cares about how you dress up; even the great Huojin God thinks it’s time for you to change your regular clothes!” Gongsun Ce exclaimed.

Shiyu Lianyi bowed his head awkwardly amid the echoing voices of “The Huojin God is right” and “It’s about time for a change.”

“This is even more doting than a real dad!” Kardesia exclaimed, “He’s thoughtfully provided three scar-removal options!

How nice can he be!!”

Most people from Zero Island probably would find it hard to agree with you, like me.

“Look at that, that’s an angry face,” the miss said with a less than friendly gaze, “why would Mr.

Shiyu’s random luck bring misfortune to Ah Ce at the same time?”

“Probably because that guy just doesn’t like Gongsun Ce,” said Shiyu Ling with a grimace, “What a petty god!”

The more he learned about Him, the more Mr.

Lan’s remarks about the King of Destiny seemed accurate.

Maybe they were familiar with each other?

As old-timers who’ve lived for who knows how many years, did these two have skirmishes every now and then, a few hundred or even a few thousand years ago…

Gongsun Ce retracted his thoughts and looked at his dear friend.

“So what’s your reason for not wanting to use it?

The worst that could happen is that Mr.

Gongsun will have a bit of bad luck for one day, which for someone like me who’s not exactly known for good luck, is just par for the course.

You shouldn’t feel any burden.”

“I’m sorry, actually I am not worried about Gongsun’s issue,” Shiyu Lianyi said somewhat apologetically.

“I’m crying inside, our brotherhood is over.”

“I actually kind of want to see Gongsun’s bad luck.”

“Friendship over, you suit freak!

Miss, attack!”

Thump.

With a tap from Qin Qianbai’s hand knife, not too gently yet not too hard, Shiyu Lianyi quickly raised his hands in surrender.

Realizing that this group of comedic actors would never stop if she let them continue, Lianna quickly took on the role of the voice of reason, “What exactly are you worried about?

The weakening of Impermanence Skill power?”

“If it lands on 1, 4, or 7, then the Curse Scale’s offensive capability might decrease…” said Shiyu Lianyi, “but the most critical is this.”

He pointed to the last line, “Critical Failure.”

“I know what this is!” Qiluo raised her hand, “In TRPGs this is called a dice critical hit, and if you get it, something really bad will happen.”

“Qiluo, you play tabletop games?”

“Uh, just online ones occasionally!”

Now it made sense.

If it hit 10, there was a 1/2 chance that something really bad could happen…

What the hell.

The King of Destiny’s messed up to the extreme!

To give his beloved chosen a gift laced with a booby-trap!

“9/10 chance of a benefit, 1/20 chance of a big win, then a 1/20 chance of something rotten happening…”

No wonder Mr.

Shiyu dared not use it, if this went wrong, it could spell disaster.

Who knows what kind of “Critical Failure” the King of Destiny is referring to?

What if it meant turning into a horror like the Red Mage?

What would Shiyu Lianyi do then?

“Mr.

Will, may I hear your advice?” Gongsun Ce asked tentatively.

Agent Will was sitting at the table next to them, having steak au poivre, seafood risotto, a vegetable salad, and a cup of black coffee for dinner.

The agent drank the coffee dry and set down the cup.

“I suggest you invite Miss Orianna to supervise with me; a Calamity Mage of Creation Realm is more professional than me when it comes to dealing with causal intervention events.”

“I thought you could handle it alone,” said Kardesia, somewhat disappointed.

“I believe I could, but there’s always a chance,” Will nodded, “I cannot, out of confidence in my own abilities, put someone else’s life at risk.”

Look at this resolve!

Look at this attitude!

How can Mages of Creation Realm be so different?

The hat-wearing girl’s eyes almost sparkled, “Dear, he’s so handsome…”

Is it really okay to praise another man’s looks in front of your boyfriend?

“I think so too,” agreed Shiyu Lianyi, “Mr.

Will is truly a legend in our line of work.”

“Celebrity fan couple, huh!” Lianna couldn’t hold back the sarcasm any longer.

·

Orianna agreed quite straightforwardly.

“I was going to talk to you all about this…

I will be returning to Morton tomorrow, so I think it’s better to take care of this gift sooner rather than later.”
