Chapter 246 -230: Divine Artifact, The Gold Coin of Fate
When you encounter an unbeatable opponent that seems godlike, what should you do?
As a Saint, shouting and unleashing your small universe is ultimately unreliable. Often, the best course of action is to have a good talk, just like China facing the United States, just like Da Fei facing the Gambling God now.
Opposing through cooperation, cooperating through opposition, it’s not only a test of strength but also a test of wisdom. Da Fei clearly found the most suitable method.
At this moment, the two of them were happily grinding experience points in the tavern! Grinding with an NPC, what kind of level is this? God-level!
Money wasn’t really the problem. The key was to make him keep winning. Da Fei firmly believed that as long as he kept winning, he could reach God-level!
However, their fake gambling act of mutual grinding instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the dwarves in the room, causing them to jeer and return to their seats, drinking on their own.
Time ticked by, and Da Fei no longer remembered which round it was. In any case, the Gambling God continued to play the myth of being undefeated. Da Fei believed that if someone dared to gamble with him, he could win the entire world in one day! This skill was just too powerful! Trading thirty days of misfortune for one day of invincibility wasn’t really a bad deal, right?
The mutual grinding continued.
Suddenly, Buffett stopped shaking the dice, his expression solemn as he said, “I have a strange premonition! I’ve never encountered this before!”
Da Fei’s brow twitched, “Could it be that you’re advancing?”
Buffett’s beard trembled with excitement as he somberly said, “Let’s begin. We’ll find out in the next round!”
Da Fei excitedly nodded his head! Finally, the result was coming out, he thought gleefully, wow hahaha!
The crucial round began!
The moment Buffett’s dice landed in the bowl, a red light soared above his head, shattering the rainbow light circling above him like the clinking of broken glass. Misfortune struck!
The Gambling God actually hit misfortune! In that instant, both Da Fei and Buffett were dumbfounded!
And at that moment, the dice in the bowl also came up with a result, making both of them even more stunned!
—-System Prompt: Buffett rolled a total of 2 points.
2 points! No mistake, 3 dice rolled a total of 2 points! One die was 1 point, and another die was also 1 point, the difference being that one die was pinned under the third die! The system determined that the pinned die had no points!
Holy crap! Even a situation like this can occur!
Meanwhile, a dwarf watching the game exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, how could this happen?”
The entire tavern of dwarves gathered around again, the room exploding in noise, “Is there anything smaller than 2 points?”
The crowd laughed, “Unless all three dice stand upright!”
With a dazed expression, Buffett asked, “Do you know what happened?”
Da Fei nodded dumbly! He knew Buffett no longer had the divine protection of luck, that he was finished!
Buffett said blankly, “Your turn now.”
My turn? 2 points! There was no way he could lose to 2 points, right? Unless he really was so skilled that all three dice stood up! Could he win? Yes, this so-called turning of tides, he had to win! But the problem was, if he won, he wouldn’t be able to help him advance to God-level, right?
Oh well! His own advancement was good enough! Despite not knowing exactly what was going on, Da Fei felt something big was happening as he couldn’t contain his inner joy, and the three dice flew out of his hands!
In that moment, a rainbow light rose above Da Fei’s head! It appeared! The tides were turning! His luck finally appeared!
Before he could celebrate, a red light suddenly shot skyward, shattering the rainbow light with a crash! Was it also misfortune? Was he mistaken? Why did both of them hit misfortune?
—-Ding! A light sound came from the bowl, the dwarves gasping in shock, Da Fei’s eyes wide open in disbelief!
—-System Prompt: You rolled a total of 2 points! It’s a tie!
—-System Prompt: You tied with Buffett in the Luck Duel, gaining information about Master-level Luck Skill!
Da Fei was astonished! Why did he also roll 2 points? It was because there was only one die in the bowl! That die was 2 points!
Where were the other two dice? During the collision, they flew out of the bowl! Whether it was excitement or the system’s arrangement, now it was a tie! Da Fei was utterly shocked! He couldn’t win even in the worst-case scenario? However, turning an unwinnable situation into a tie was a significant turning point! Maybe he could win the next round?
At this time, Buffett regained his composure, sighing solemnly, “I was wrong, I was too naive, for the last match, let’s follow the will of God and decide the winner with one die.”
Da Fei exclaimed in shock, “The will of God? The last match?”
Buffett said with a face full of fear, “Our behavior has angered the gods! We might be punished by them!”
All the watching dwarves gloated, “That’s right! There’s never been a rule of returning the money you win by gambling, you’re asking for divine retribution!”
Da Fei was stunned again! Angered the gods? Was mutual grinding banned by the system here?
“Let’s begin,” Buffett said with a grim expression, placing a Gold Coin down, “Let God decide the fate of the loser!”
Da Fei solemnly nodded.
Though he didn’t know what was going on, things transforming suddenly like this were definitely not part of the normal advancement process, right? He was way too naive!
In the silence and calm of the whole room of dwarves, Buffett rolled a 3!
Now it was Da Fei’s turn. Da Fei took a deep breath, with no Divine Skill to protect his opponent now, from a conceptual standpoint, could he win after losing almost a hundred rounds?
Ding, with a crisp sound, a 4!
Da Fei’s eyelid twitched, he’d won! Just then, a rainbow light rose above Da Fei’s head!
—-System Prompt: You defeated Buffett in the Luck Duel, you successfully mastered Master-level Luck Skill!
He’d won! He reached master-level, wow hahaha! Da Fei stood up in excitement!
At the same time, a black rainbow light rose above Buffett’s head, what was this?
Buffett now appeared terrified, the whole room of dwarves erupted in chaos, scared and retreating, “Oh no, Buffett has been cursed!”
Cursed? Was this God’s punishment for the loser? If he had lost, would the system punish the player the same way?
At that moment, Buffett laughed heartily, then raised his glass high calling out to the whole room of dwarves, “Friends, I have entered a new domain, I’m buying everyone a drink with the money I won! Buckley, drinks on me!”
The room erupted immediately, “Aren’t you obviously cursed like this?”
Buffett picked up a Gold Coin from the table, handing it to Da Fei, exclaiming, “Thank you, though you didn’t advance me to God-level Luck Skill, and I was cursed by God losing the Luck Skill, I actually acquired a skill only said to exist in rare Demons in legends, the Misfortune Skill, its effect is the opposite of Luck Skill! I’ve had enough of the Luck Skill, it made me feel fear, this Gold Coin I can’t use, I give it to you, when I saw the wealthiest dwarf Bebble’s corpse during the shipwreck, this was clutched tightly in his hand!”
—-System Prompt: Buffett gifted you the “Coin of Fortune.”
—-Coin of Fortune: Divine Artifact, Luck Skill level +1, comes with “God of Luck” skill!
—-God of Luck: Allows the user a full day of good fortune, after use, the user will experience Absolute Misfortune for a month!
Da Fei could barely keep his mouth closed in shock, “It’s actually a Divine Artifact!” So the skill he was using was a Divine Artifact Skill! He thought there wasn’t such an OP skill in the Skill Book!
Buffett laughed heartily, “It looks just like a regular Gold Coin, right? It was my very first one!” Then solemnly said, “Listen, Divine Artifacts are not something Mortals can use lightly, luck, just like the two sides of a coin, brought Bebble enormous wealth, but ultimately destroyed him! I too was endlessly wielding the power given to me by the artifact, fortunately, I knew when to stop. Well, this place is no longer suitable for my training, I’m going to travel to a new place now, see you.”
Da Fei exclaimed, “Travel? Take my ship back, I still have many things to learn from you sir!”
Buffett laughed heartily, “I’m almost becoming a Knight of Misfortune, whoever I’m with will have terrible luck, anyway, thank you, hopefully, if there’s a chance, we can meet again in the goblin casino Las Vistas, wow hahaha!” With that, he took out a Town Recall Scroll and vanished.
Darn! That fellow wasn’t poor, he had a Town Recall Scroll! The Town Recall Scrolls in this game aren’t cheap! Oh, right, did he just say Knight of Misfortune? A hidden skill? Damn, if I had lost, would I have gained a hidden skill?
Just then, Buckley shouted, “Outrageous! Inviting guests without paying for the drinks and running off!”
Spielberg cleared his throat and said, “Captain, he didn’t pay just now.”
Da Fei was stunned, “Didn’t pay? I won against him!” Darn, wait, the last wager he put down was 1 Gold Coin! Damn it! These deceitful dwarves not only swindled his money, but also gave him a harmful Divine Artifact, too bad, so bad, ahh!
Da Fei laughed heartily, “It’s fine, I’ll pay for the drinks, it’s on me!”
The room erupted with cheers.
Now, with this Divine Artifact, Da Fei’s Luck Skill temporarily upgraded to God-level. God-level, seems like a scam, huh! Anyway, know when to stop!
The sub-skill of Master-level Luck Skill is Lucky Hand–when activated on a unit at a tactical position, the unit’s next move will definitely have a luck effect. Can only be used once a day.
Nothing much to say, while it pales in comparison to the absurdity of a Divine Artifact Skill, it also has no side effects. Da Fei took out the Luck Skill Book, a flash of golden light, and learned it!
As for now, while the ship was still under repair, he planned for everyone to stay at an inn to rest. Presumably, whale hunting at sea would be another overnight task, and having stayed up for two days himself, he really needed to catch up on some sleep first. (To be continued.
