34: Judgment of Fate

If it were up to Aiya, she believed people should be low-key, and even more so in the apocalypse.

Of course, it was best to secretly claim such list rewards.

However, she was well aware of her situation and subconsciously did not act according to her own preferences, but rather tried to guess Lin Chuan’s thoughts.

Did Lin Chuan want her to claim the list rewards publicly?

Aiya's mind suddenly replayed the scene at the South Fourth Sky Platform.

That man, only a few years older than her, with his decisive killing intent, and his cold, powerful back.

In her mind, his words echoed—

He liked legitimate self-defense.

It sounded like a joke, but a thought sparked in Aiya's mind, and she publicly claimed the list rewards!

As the third-ranked on the level ranking, she received a Beginner Strength Fruit, a Blue Treasure Chest, a Berserker Class Change Scroll, and a Purple Treasure Chest.

When these four items appeared in her hands, the breathing throughout the entire Defense Bunker visibly became heavier!

Many burning gazes seemed fixed on her hands, unable to look away.

Even though Aiya had always attracted attention due to her looks since childhood, with an off-the-charts Return rate (turn-head rate).

But those greedy, snake-like eyes still made her uncomfortable.

Thus, she, without hesitation, handed the four rewards—which many people would fight desperately to obtain—to Lin Chuan!

This scene once again drew gazes of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Lin Chuan!

Even the way they looked at Aiya was filled with disbelief, wondering if she had been PUA'd by Lin Chuan?!

How could there be such a... “stupid” woman?!

However, Lin Chuan’s reaction was even more surprising!

He only took the Berserker Class Change Scroll, then calmly said, “Put the Strength Fruit on the trading market and exchange it for a Constitution Fruit. As for the treasure chests, you open them.”

Aiya, of course, obediently complied.

She had seen Qi Feng open a White Treasure Chest, but this was her first time opening a treasure chest herself!

And it was a Blue Treasure Chest, more advanced than a White Treasure Chest!

She couldn't help but feel a little nervous inside!

With the palm-sized Blue Treasure Chest in her hand, Aiya took a deep breath and silently thought, “Open!”

Then, the small and exquisite Blue Treasure Chest instantly burst open, and a black card popped out.

Lin Chuan only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, but he already recognized the card!

Cards in the Killing Game generally represented one-time use items.

And that card was precisely the death gods coffin experience card, which could only be used once!

The death coffin was an extremely powerful divine artifact that could block almost all attacks!

Even special methods such as time, space, and Destiny System could not affect the inside of the death coffin!

It could be said that hiding inside the death coffin meant being isolated from everything and possessing absolute safety!

The effect of the death gods coffin experience card was naturally weakened compared to the real death coffin.

But its defensive capability was still an unrivaled existence!

However, an experience card was an experience card; it had a very frustrating setting!

Once a player activated the death gods coffin experience card, they had to stay inside for eight hours, and only after the experience time ended and the stone coffin disappeared could they regain their freedom…

Lin Chuan had owned quite a few of these in his previous life.

He often used it to…

Sleep soundly.

Yes, it was quite difficult to get a good night's sleep in the apocalypse.

But the death gods coffin experience card allowed one to sleep like a log…

Witnessing a treasure chest opening for the first time in this life, and seeing such an “old friend,” Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly before he calmly instructed, “Put this on the trading market and have the buyer contact you privately with the goods.”

“Oh, okay.”

Aiya’s tone was slightly disappointed, thinking she had opened something useless.

Then, with even greater nervousness, she opened the other, more precious Purple Treasure Chest!

After silently thinking “Open,” what burst out of the treasure chest was actually just a thin piece of paper!

Fortunately, the paper was printed with array patterns, looking very mysterious.

Lin Chuan looked at the paper, and his mouth twitched slightly again!

His gaze towards Aiya was somewhat strange!

This girl, really…

Her luck was simply too good!

Although the death gods coffin experience card was not a particularly precious item in Lin Chuan’s eyes.

But after the heavy rain, when countless people were in a weakened state that would last for 10 hours, this death coffin was definitely a precious life-saving item!

Once it was put on the trading market, people would definitely scramble to buy it!

And what Aiya opened from the Purple Treasure Chest—

It was actually a skill book!

And it was a C-Class Destiny System skill book—Judgment of Fate!

The probability of a skill book appearing from a treasure chest was already extremely low!

And Destiny System skill books were even rarer, to the point of making people doubt life!

In his previous life, although Lin Chuan had plundered Destiny System Talent using a BUG-level Fireball, he had never obtained a Destiny System skill!

Yet in this life, just by opening a Purple Treasure Chest, he actually got a Destiny System skill!

Without exaggeration, for Lin Chuan, the value of this C-Class skill, Judgment of Fate, almost surpassed that of ordinary S-Class Talent and S-Class skills!

However, it was a pity that he currently had no skill points and could not learn it immediately.

Moreover, it was said that Destiny System skill books had a very frustrating setting!

That was the risk of failing to learn it!

And after failing to learn, the skill book would disappear, and it wouldn't even refund the skill points!

Whoosh—

Lin Chuan exhaled, then put away the skill book without permission.

Afterward, his gaze calmly swept towards the Zhuo Family brothers.

Zhuo Tiangang’s breathing was rapid and heavy, his burning gaze fixed on him.

Greed and insatiable desire were clearly written on his face, condensing into a madness that almost made people lose their minds!

His cousin, Zhuo Tianhan, was better.

His breathing was also unstable, but at least he controlled his desires.

He even pinched Zhuo Tiangang’s arm hard and whispered, “Tiangang!”

The pain from his arm made Zhuo Tiangang gasp, and he gradually regained his composure.

He tried hard to suppress his greed, but his expression remained unpredictable.

In contrast, Zhuo Tianhan was much more mature.

Not only did he calm down, but he also calmly congratulated Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly and said, “It’s nothing.”

As he spoke, he slowly took two steps towards the Zhuo Family brothers.

Because of these two steps, the atmosphere in the entire Defense Bunker instantly became somewhat stagnant!

Fortunately, Lin Chuan stopped again.

He suddenly turned and pointed to a small boy of about ten years old among the Zhuo Family group.

He smiled and asked Zhuo Tianhan, “Is that your younger brother?”

“Yes, yes…” Zhuo Tianhan was inexplicably nervous, the kind of nervousness one feels when facing an absolute Strong (strongest one)!

Lin Chuan looked at the child’s tender face and asked again, “What’s his name?”

“Zhuo Kaiyuan, my younger brother’s name is Zhuo Kaiyuan.”

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment after hearing the name, then asked, “Aren’t all of you in the Zhuo Family of this generation named with ‘Tian’? Why is he the only one named with ‘Kai’?”

Zhuo Tianhan solemnly spouted nonsense: “When my brother was little, he couldn’t write the character ‘Tian’ and always wrote ‘Kai’ instead, so later we just changed his name to ‘Kaiyuan’.”

“Oh, I see.” Lin Chuan nodded noncommittally.

He was almost certain in his heart that the silent, seemingly autistic little boy was probably “Zhuo Kaitian” from the slaughter chart in his previous life.

Couldn't write the character “Tian”?

His name on the level ranking was “Zhuo Kaitian”!

Thinking of Zhuo Kaitian’s Talent, Lin Chuan looked at the Zhuo Family members present again, and his gaze changed.

However, he still had no intention of meddling.

He continued to move, but this time towards Tang Yiping.

The Zhuo Family brothers were so focused on the list rewards that they almost forgot about this man who claimed to be a God Chosen.

Lin Chuan walked up to him and asked from above, “Before the level ranking was released, what were you going to say? About your divine blessing?”
