43: Destiny Poker!

“That black treasure box just now, did you put it on the street as bait?”

Wu Jun, having stumbled upon such a great fortune, was in a very cheerful mood, and for once, his gaze towards Rong Jieming didn't contain any killing intent.

Rong Jieming, feeling the 'gentle' gaze of this dual-ranked powerhouse, couldn't help but curse in his heart, “I'm such a fucking idiot!”

Though cursing inwardly, he dared not show any of it on his face. He only bowed low, respectfully acting like a subservient grandson: “Boss is joking, that treasure box was found by your own strength, it has nothing to do with me…”

“Enough, I don't like to hear such flattering words!” Wu Jun gave him a sidelong glance and said calmly, “Tell me, how did you get that treasure box? Also, tell me all the information you have related to the treasure box, don't miss a single detail!”

“Actually, I don't know what happened with that treasure box either; it just appeared out of thin air in my car!” Rong Jieming said, looking confused, “Its appearance was too bizarre, and it had a strange attraction to people. My subordinates have always been loyal, but they almost fought over this treasure box!”

“Later, only when we were far away did we rationally deduce that this treasure box was strange!”

“So, we didn't dare to open this treasure box casually. But this thing couldn't be traded on the exchange market, and we couldn't bear to just throw it away, so we put it by the roadside, waiting for a fated person.”

He said the words “fated person” quite subtly.

After speaking, he deliberately added a flattering remark: “Now it seems, for this treasure box to ultimately fall into your hands, Boss, it truly was fated with you!”

Whether it was fated or not, it was all nonsense!

What Wu Jun possessed was strength!

He narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: “This treasure box is indeed a bit strange. Seeing as you're quite sensible, I won't kill you. You and your subordinates, help me keep an eye on the chat channel to see if anyone else mentions information about black treasure boxes.”

“Thank you, Boss, for sparing my life! Boss, you are our new leader from now on!”

A group of people showered Wu Jun with flattery.

There was no other way.

The Corpse Eaters following Wu Jun had increased from five to ten!

Moreover, the state of those ten Corpse Eaters looked even more fierce and powerful than the previous five! The muscles on their arms and chests looked terrifying!

Their claws also seemed like an evolved version of ordinary Corpse Eaters, long and sharp, almost comparable to keen blades!

Even more bizarrely, the corrupt aura on these ten Corpse Eater servants was much fainter than that of ordinary Corpse Eaters.

It's no exaggeration to say that if these ten hulking figures were dressed in human clothes and given sunglasses, they could probably convincingly disguise themselves as humans!

With these ten super-strong combatants, Rong Jieming and the others weren't surprised why Wu Jun could become a dual-ranked powerhouse!

Too strong! He and his Corpse Eater team were simply too strong!

On the other side, Lin Chuan still didn't know that the black treasure box he had been trying to avoid had already been opened by someone, and immense benefits had been gained from it.

At 3:50 AM, he finally arrived at the Star River Bay community.

After the modified car stopped, he, like Luo Shuhong before him, got out and directly jumped onto the roof of the car.

This time, he naturally didn't step on anything.

He took out seven corpse spirit orbs and threw them fiercely in the direction where a large number of Corpse Eaters were gathered!

The group of Corpse Eaters instantly swarmed towards the corpse spirit orbs like flies seeing excrement, going mad.

Luo Shuhong and her team only used one corpse spirit orb at a time to lure Corpse Eaters.

But Lin Chuan threw seven at once!

He roughly calculated that in about six or seven hours, an evolved Level 5 Corpse Eater Boss would appear!

Hopefully, it would really drop a Secret Realm Token.

Thinking this, Lin Chuan put the modified car back into his dimensional ring and flashed into the community.

Building 3, Unit 2, Sixth Floor.

Lin Chuan had lived at his uncle Lin Changzheng's house for three years of high school, so he was quite familiar with the place.

He took the stairs all the way, solving a few Corpse Eaters and Goblins along the way.

There were no signs of invasion by Level 5 monsters here, so there should still be many residents hiding in their homes.

Lin Chuan didn't have his uncle's house key, but he didn't directly break down the door either.

Instead, he used a wire and opened the door very quickly.

The 3-bedroom, 2-living room apartment was quickly explored.

Lin Chuan was surprised to find that there was no one in his uncle's house!

And the current time was already four in the morning!

At this hour, where could they be if not home?

Had they already met with misfortune?

Or had they gone to some survivor gathering place?

Or were they trapped somewhere and couldn't return?

Lin Chuan was covered in the corrosive fluid of Corpse Eaters. While speculating about his uncle's family's whereabouts, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was at this moment that he received a private message from Aiya.

There were too many forum replies, tens of millions of them!

Aiya had been busy, summarizing over ninety items she deemed valuable for Lin Chuan's reference.

The message was long, and Lin Chuan spent several minutes just reading it.

However, though there were many items, few caught his eye.

Finally, Lin Chuan, while wiping himself with a towel, replied: [Swap out the prajna mask with number 78, and for the remaining Crystal Nucleus, exchange it for Su Hai's contract.]

[Okay.] Aiya replied diligently, then added with some unease: [The death gods coffin experience card I was supposed to put on the exchange market, because most buyers were in a desperate hurry and waiting for the death gods coffin experience card to save their lives, I took the liberty of exchanging it with one of them…]

Lin Chuan wasn't angry and asked indifferently: [What did you exchange it for?]

[It's an item called 'Destiny Poker.' It's said that this item has a total of 54 cards, which equals 54 pieces of equipment and items.]

Destiny Poker!

Lin Chuan's eyes lit up.

He couldn't help but marvel in his heart!

This girl Aiya truly had good luck!

First, her purple treasure box opened to a Destiny System skill, and now she'd exchanged for a Destiny System item!

Although Destiny Poker wasn't an incredibly powerful or heaven-defying Destiny System item.

But given its value, under normal circumstances, let alone one death gods coffin experience card, even ten might not be enough to exchange for it!

The 54 poker cards indeed corresponded to 54 pieces of equipment and items.

However, with Destiny Poker, only one card could be drawn per day.

The effect of each card was different!

Spades represented debuffs!

Hearts were buffs.

Clubs would reveal Dimensional Monsters; killing them guaranteed a treasure box drop.

Diamonds represented trial secret realms; completing them would grant rewards.

When spades and hearts were drawn, their effects were immediate.

Club and diamond cards, however, could be chosen to activate or not, and when to activate.

Besides these, there were also two wild cards.

The two wild cards each sealed two human powerhouses!

Killing these two human powerhouses would clearly yield benefits.

However, Lin Chuan had never opened Destiny Poker in his previous life, so he wasn't sure of the strength of the two wild cards, nor what the benefits were.

He held the metallic poker card box, toying with it for a while, and finally casually drew a card.

His luck was average; it was a Club 5.

Lin Chuan didn't think much and chose to activate it directly!

The next second, a massive Minotaur appeared out of thin air beside him!

Lin Chuan, having already trained a powerful combat awareness in his previous life, almost instantly activated the Forbidden Magic Domain while simultaneously releasing the Death Grip's iron wire!

The sharp iron wire instantly wrapped around and constricted the Minotaur!

A crushing battle ended in 3 seconds!

Lin Chuan casually incinerated the Minotaur's corpse, then opened the green treasure box that the Minotaur had dropped!

Inside the treasure box was a battle-axe!

About a meter long, with a sharp axe blade.

The only drawback was that this axe was incredibly heavy!

Even with Lin Chuan's strength value of over 3, lifting it was a bit strenuous.

It seems he still needed to raise his attributes first!

“Alright, I'll call you Thousand-Jin Axe!”

Lin Chuan casually played with the Thousand-Jin Axe, getting used to its feel.

On the other side, Aiya had just completed the Crystal Nucleus transaction and was about to trade the prajna mask and 3 contracts to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then casually said: [Keep these items with you for now, I'm not in a hurry to use them. You can also wear the prajna mask yourself for now.]
