1702 Betting on destiny (1)
Slowly opening his eyes, Tang Zhen appeared in the inn’s bamboo building.
At the same time he exited the trial of destiny, a notification rang in his ear, informing him that he had successfully obtained the right to compete for the child of destiny, and that he could participate in a new trial in a year.
Tang Zhen didn’t think much of it. Who knew if he would still be on the fate island after a year?
Recalling the bits and pieces of the trial of fate, Tang Zhen didn’t know if his actions had been discovered by the wheel of fate.
However, since they didn’t make things difficult for him during the settlement, it was obvious that the other party didn’t care about this matter. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been qualified.
Since that was the case, Tang Zhen did not need to cause any more trouble. He only needed to act according to the original plan.
At this moment, light footsteps could be heard from outside the door, followed by the voice of the inn owner.
“Sir Tang Zhen, have you ended the trial?”
Tang Zhen stood up when he heard this and walked outside the bamboo house. He looked at the inn owner and said, “The trial is over. I’ll be leaving soon.”
The inn owner was startled when he heard this. He didn’t know why Tang Zhen was in such a hurry to leave. He wanted to ask about the results of the trial, but he was afraid that Tang Zhen would fail and lose face if he were to ask.
For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
Tang Zhen didn’t explain. Instead, he casually threw out a Jade token and 50 gold coins of destiny. He said to the shop owner, “After a while, a cultivator called iron head will come to find me. Please give this Jade card and the coin of destiny to him.”
The innkeeper quickly nodded and promised that he would not make a mistake.
“Since that’s the case, we’ll meet again!”
Tang Zhen had already walked towards the front courtyard of the inn after his voice sounded. The inn owner hurriedly followed, only to see that Tang Zhen had already stepped out of the main door and drifted far away on the street.
Seeing this, the inn owner was stunned for a moment, and then revealed a happy expression.
congratulations to Sir Tang Zhen for winning the trial. If you have free time in the future, please come over and have a cup of wine!
The innkeeper’s voice sounded. However, Tang Zhen had long disappeared.
……
After leaving the inn, Tang Zhen slowly walked on the street with a carefree expression.
He had already made up his mind to take the opportunity to tour the island of destiny while he was looking for the strange man.
One was to understand the fate Island, and two was to recuperate and prepare to advance to the 2nd level of the sector Lord realm.
Perhaps it was because of the different environment, but the city on Destiny Island was much larger and simpler. The details of the buildings were perfect, and the colorful exotic flowers and plants left a deep impression on people.
on the ancient bluestone streets, all kinds of people were walking back and forth. although they were of different races, everyone was used to it.
He stopped at the fountain in the middle of the street for a moment. After admiring the fish swimming in the water, Tang Zhen walked toward the buildings by the roadside.
This was a castle-like building that was tens of meters tall. The interior was built with a rich and beautiful palace that looked like a Crystal Palace.
People came and went at the entrance of the building, which seemed very lively for some reason.
Tang Zhen observed for a moment before walking over.
After asking around, he found out that this was a place similar to a casino. The men and women who came and went were actually gamblers who were there for entertainment.
When he asked about the gambling content of this casino, Tang Zhen’s interest was piqued as he stepped in.
Following the instructions of the service staff, Tang Zhen arrived at a large hall. Only then did he discover that this place was a completely different world. It was definitely not as narrow as the outside.
In the hall that looked like a movie theater, there were nearly 10000 seats floating in the air, and they were already filled with guests.
In the middle of these seats, a huge image appeared. It seemed to be some unknown dimension in the void.
Just as Tang Zhenfei sat on a chair, a voice came from the hall and echoed in everyone’s ears.
welcome to today’s betting on fate. I’m sure you all know the specific rules, so I won’t waste any more time.
If there are new friends who do not understand the rules, you can read the instructions on the side of the seat to answer your questions.
alright, let’s cut to the chase. Our main character this time is the target randomly chosen by the astrolabe of disaster from countless dimensions.
We can guarantee that no one knows the coordinates of that plane and can’t interfere.
Due to the astrolabe of disaster, the young man would encounter disasters one after another today. There were a total of ten disasters, and each one was fatal.
What everyone needs to do now is to bet on the coin of destiny and see how many calamities he can survive.”
the first wave of the Tribulation has begun. This is a disaster simulation. Please take a look.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in the center changed. A human youth was walking on the road, but countless bricks suddenly fell from the buildings beside him, covering the entire Street.
The teenager couldn’t avoid it and was finally smashed under the bricks.
The scene stopped, and the voice sounded again, ” the disaster simulation is complete. Please place your bets!
As these words were said, the chairs in the dark space flashed one after another. Every time they flashed, it meant that a coin of destiny had been bet.
When a certain number of Destiny’s gold coins were bet, something similar to a special effect would appear around the seat, attracting everyone’s attention.
This merchant was clearly well-versed in the ways of business, using this special effect to satisfy the vanity of those gamblers.
Tang Zhen looked at the rules of the bet of fate. It turned out that the guests could freely bet on the life and death of the randomly selected person.
At this time, 70% of the guests had bet that the young man would die in the first wave, and only 30% of the guests bet that the young man would survive. They were obviously betting on an upset.
Tang Zhen did not know what kind of calamity the young man would encounter. However, from the disaster simulation, it was likely that the young man would not be able to escape death.
This young man was really unlucky to be chosen by the disaster astrolabe. He was about to face a life-and-death crisis, but he didn’t know it at all.
Although the cultivators of Lou city regarded the living creatures of other planes as ants, they would never kill innocent people if it was not necessary.
However, the cultivators of Destiny Island liked to control the fate of mortals to entertain themselves, which was very different from the cultivators of Lou Cheng.
Tang Zhen was a little disgusted by this kind of thing. He originally wanted to stand up and leave, but after thinking about it, he sat back down.
Since he had encountered such a situation, he might as well have a good time. It just so happened that he had consumed a lot of his gold coins of destiny. There was no reason not to take such ill-gotten gains.
Although Tang Zhen was unable to control this youth’s fate, Tang Zhen was able to increase his own luck. Perhaps, he could indirectly affect that youth’s luck.
After hiding himself in the gray fog and not being discovered by the outside world, Tang Zhen took out a stack of luck cards and continuously tore them.
As he tore the card, the coin of destiny beside him automatically flew up and kept falling into the coin slot on the seat.
When the number of bets reached 100, Tang Zhen’s seat began to glow. When the number of bets reached 200, the light was already extremely dazzling.
When all 500 Destiny’s gold coins were thrown in, strange beasts appeared around the chair, flying and letting out soft cries.
The people at the side looked over with envious and curious expressions as they tried to figure out Tang Zhen’s background.
The value of the coin of destiny was extremely high, and 500 gold coins was not a small amount. To be able to throw out 500 gold coins in one go, it was obvious that he was a wealthy man.
However, the surroundings of Tang Zhen’s seat were covered by clouds. Clearly, he did not want others to know his identity. The guests around him sized him up a few times before they did not continue to pay any attention to him.
Tang Zhen turned a blind eye to the probing around him. He merely quietly watched the scene in the middle of the arena to see if the young man would be able to escape this calamity.
the bets have ended. The first wave of the calamity has begun!
Following the voice, the young man in the image walked out of his house and slowly walked down the street.
A hundred meters ahead was the place where the first wave of tribulations would take place. At this time, the young man had no idea that a life-and-death crisis was coming.
The guests were also staring at the scene intently. They kept shouting and cursing the young man to die.
There were also guests who shouted that the young man would never die and would definitely be able to come back from death’s door. The scene was very lively.
Under everyone’s gazes, the young man finally walked onto the street, and the disaster descended.
The walls of the buildings on the side of the road suddenly collapsed, and countless debris, bricks, and stones fell down the street, heading straight for the youth.
The young man was shocked by this sudden scene. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to dodge.
“It’s over, this idiot is dead!”
The guests who had bet that the young man would escape all sighed, feeling sorry for their gold coins of destiny.
Who knew that just as the young man was about to be flattened by the bricks, the situation suddenly changed.
A brick fell at the young man’s feet first, smashing the manhole cover on the ground. The young man standing on it cried out in surprise and fell into the sewer.
“BOOM!”
Another huge brick fell on the black hole, blocking the sewer.
