78: Destiny props!

An SSS grade defensive Talent!

It could be said that with it, Lin Chuan could act more aggressively in the future!

Unlike in his previous life, where he had the BUG-level Fireball Talent and believed that as long as he developed slowly, he would eventually become invincible.

In his previous life, he was too conservative in his actions for the sake of stability, and he missed too many opportunities!

But even if he lived again, he still couldn't act recklessly without any worries.

Because the Killing Game was truly messed up!

Any minor detail, or a single mistaken decision, could lead to eternal damnation for even the strongest of experts!

In this game, opportunities and risks coexist, and no one can completely avoid risks!

That's why Lin Chuan was so, so eager to obtain the SSS-Class Talent, Shadow Body!

It was definitely a powerful life-saving trump card!

However, while he desired an SSS-Class Talent in his heart, he deliberately lied when facing Zhong Qinger—

He looked at Zhong Qinger with an expression like she was an idiot and said coldly, “Is your brain full of water? The princess has been killed by you, and the Talent has been permanently acquired by you. No matter how much I covet your Talent, how could I possibly acquire a Talent that already belongs to you?”

There was a point to his words.

After all, Lin Chuan's Fireball was truly a BUG-level existence.

Besides him, there was probably no one else in this world who could plunder other people's Talents!

Zhong Qinger pondered for a moment before hesitantly asking, “So why are you wasting your time on me?”

“For your Destiny System item.” Lin Chuan said with a frank expression, “Show it to me. If it catches my eye, I don't mind making a deal with you that will allow you to survive the secret realm.”

Zhong Qinger's eyes flickered, and she was quite moved internally.

She thought for a moment, then suddenly flipped her right hand, and two wooden pieces appeared in her palm—

The wooden pieces had one flat side and one smoothly rounded, protruding side!

These were…

Ancient divination tools, Jiao!

For Destiny System items, generally, the older the ancient item, the more powerful it was!

For example, with coins of fate, if they were modern, the year would be displayed on them.

A coin from 2020 would obviously not be as effective as a coin from 2000.

And the copper coins used by ancient people, or even older divination tools, would have even more powerful effects!

The “Jiao” in Zhong Qinger's hand was especially ancient!

For instance, ancient records mention that when Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, wanted to appoint Han Xin as prime minister, he once used Jiao for divination!

This means that the history of Jiao can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty!

Thus, it is clear how terrifyingly powerful the “Jiao” Destiny System item was!

Lin Chuan stared intently at the two wooden pieces in Zhong Qinger's hand.

After a long while, his eyes held a somewhat indescribable expression, looking at Zhong Qinger with envy and jealousy, as if he wanted to devour her!

He tried his best to suppress the jealousy in his heart and said in a low, drawn-out tone, “If I'm not mistaken, you've used this item and thrown three Holy Grails?”

“Holy Grails?” Zhong Qinger didn't understand.

“It means one yin and one yang—two wooden pieces, one with the flat side facing up, and one with the protruding side facing up.”

Zhong Qinger thought for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes: “How do you know everything?!!!”

Lin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, and his tone was stiff: “What do you think allowed you to obtain an SSS-Class Talent?”

Zhong Qinger stared blankly at the item she was holding in her hand, her face full of astonishment: “Could it be that my obtaining an SSS-Class Talent was due to this item? Is that why you want it so badly?”

“I don't want it.” Lin Chuan's tone was very dejected, “Three Holy Grails are not something just anyone can throw.”

Destiny System items, while powerful, required gambling with one's life!

If it was just an ordinary coins of fate, it would be fine; the cost of losing the gamble wouldn't be severe.

But the Destiny System item in Zhong Qinger's hand was too powerful; once she lost the gamble, she might directly lose her life!

And after confirming that Zhong Qinger had thrown three Holy Grails, Lin Chuan's attitude towards her unconsciously shifted.

Zhong Qinger, who had thrown three Holy Grails, was undoubtedly equivalent to having received a powerful blessing of luck!

She was the type who would casually pick up divine artifacts when she went out!

Turning misfortune into blessings, encountering good fortune in times of trouble—all sorts of good things would flock to her!

This woman could even be called a “Goddess of Luck” without exaggeration!

After his mindset shifted, Lin Chuan's heart became increasingly calm.

He looked at Zhong Qinger with deep contemplation.

Zhong Qinger felt a chill in her heart from his gaze: “What exactly are you thinking?”

“Thinking about how to trade with you.”

Lin Chuan casually made up an excuse.

What he was thinking was, perhaps he could sign a master-servant contract with this woman?

Keeping such a Goddess of Luck by his side, he might also catch some good fortune.

As he was thinking this, an eerie scene he had witnessed in the Source Plane in his previous life suddenly flashed through Lin Chuan's mind.

He pondered repeatedly, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Zhong Qinger, “Wait for me, I'll be back in a bit!”

With that, his figure directly disappeared from the Evil Dragons Lair!

This scene left Zhong Qinger dumbfounded!

After all, according to the secret realm rules, when both the warrior and the Evil Dragon were present, they had to stay in the Evil Dragons Lair for half an hour before they could leave the lair!

But Zhong Qinger, the No. 2 Evil Dragon, was still alive, and Lin Chuan hadn't stayed in the No. 2 Evil Dragons Lair for half an hour!

How did he leave?!!!

Zhong Qinger couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She somewhat eagerly opened the Evil Dragon chat channel. Having previously only followed the trend and made casual remarks, she for the first time actively revealed a shocking piece of news—

No. 002 Evil Dragon: [I just heard a warrior who broke into my lair say that the 129th Dragon Lair has been destroyed?! Is that true? If No. 129 Evil Dragon is still alive, please respond, okay?]

As soon as this message was sent, it instantly provoked a chorus of ridicule—

[What a joke! We Evil Dragons are so powerful, and we have the princess's resurrection for protection, how could we be destroyed by a warrior?!]

[Exactly! Even the most rubbish F-grade Talent Evil Dragon couldn't be killed by a warrior! Let alone a powerful S-Class Talent big shot!]

[The big shot is either practicing their Evil Dragon form, or they're racking their brains to find a way to break the stalemate! You losers who just lie there and win shouldn't cue the big shot to gain attention for no reason!]

However, various mocking voices rose and fell.

No. 129 Evil Dragon, who had always maintained a high profile, did not respond at all!

007 Evil Dragon, who had previously been at odds with No. 129 Evil Dragon, now spoke again to mock:

007 Evil Dragon: [Idiot @ No. 129 Evil Dragon! If you're still alive, answer me! Otherwise, if there's no response in three minutes, you'll be treated as dead!]

After this message was sent, it naturally drew attacks from No. 129 Evil Dragon's supporters.

However, what terrified everyone was—

Three minutes passed, and No. 129 Evil Dragon indeed did not respond!

For a time, a huge panic erupted in the Evil Dragon camp!

007 Evil Dragon then spoke again in a high-profile manner, adopting the posture of a leader:

[Since that's the case, it seems I can only take charge of the overall situation! First, let me introduce myself, my name is Qi Yuan. I presume everyone should have heard this name.]

This “self-introduction” instantly sparked heated discussion among the Evil Dragons:

[Holy crap?! Is that Qi Yuan from the world's richest list?! This is a true big shot!]

[No, I'm saying, are your brains fried? The world order has already collapsed, what good is a rich list now?! You could give me a hundred million right now and I wouldn't even bother to look at it!]
