Chapter 599: Gambling on the Pros and Cons
...It's a handful of cloth!
Wu Jier used scissors, and Xing Taixiang won!
When the result came out, everyone present was stunned.
Xing Taixiang found himself confused. He stared at his hands blankly, as if he couldn't believe that he had won.
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and glanced back and forth between Wu Jier and Xing Taixiang.
I thought to myself, "That's quite interesting. Could it be that Wu Ji'er is letting me win on purpose?"
Countless melodramatic plots flashed through his mind instantly, such as childhood sweethearts and innocent children.
What about a hero saving a beauty and giving himself to her, what about a domineering president falling in love with me... cough cough, I'm thinking too far ahead.
Wu Hen leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear with a wicked smile on his face.
In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, "Brother Qiye, look at this situation. Does it give you a sense of 'a domineering queen falling in love with a little puppy'?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, these days, even gods are starting to play development games?"
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Wu Hen: "Have you read too many novels?"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful Wu Ji'er hears and throws you into the sea to feed the fish."
"Hey, just kidding, just kidding."
Wu Hen said, rubbing his hands, and looking at Wu Jier expectantly,
"Next, it's time for us to play games, right?"
Wu Jier glanced at Wu Hen calmly, as if she saw through his inner thoughts.
Then he took out an ancient coin from his pocket and handed it to Xing Taixiang: "You toss."
Xing Taixiang took the coin, his hand trembling slightly.
This coin represents the fate of Yuhuiqing Palace, so he dare not be careless at all.
"Wait!" Wu Hen suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
He smiled mysteriously and pointed at the coin that was trembling slightly in Xing Taixiang's hand.
Said: "I guess, after this coin falls to the ground, it will... stand upright on the ground!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
When a coin falls to the ground, it either lands heads up or tails up. How can it stand upright on the ground?
This is simply a fantasy!
Even Wu Jier was stunned. She frowned slightly and looked at Wu Hen suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
Wu Hen shrugged and said with a relaxed look: "Of course I am sure. What do you think? Do you dare to bet?"
Wu Jier was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "I guess... the text is facing up."
Xing Taixiang looked at Wu Hen, then looked at Wu Jier.
One guess is standing on the ground, and the other guess is facing up. What does this have to do with anything?
He felt that he could not keep up with the thinking of these two big guys at all.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
No matter what, he must try his best to complete this game and fight for a chance of survival for Yuhuiqing Palace.
"I'm ready."
Xing Taixiang's voice trembled a little, and he held the coin tightly in his hand.
He looked forward with a determined look, "Let's get started!"
Xing Taixiang's hands were shaking like leaves in the wind, and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead, leaving a small wet mark on the beach.
He felt that the coin in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if it carried the fate of the whole world.
"Don't be nervous, little bro. It's just a coin flip, like throwing a grenade in the finals of PUBG. Just keep calm."
Wu Hen patted Xing Taixiang's shoulder, speaking with the tone of someone who had experienced it.
I completely forgot that I was so nervous that I almost bit off my nails.
Lin Qiye held his forehead helplessly. This guy was really talking about something that was not related to the topic.
Xing Taixiang saw that he had obviously never played "Chicken Dinner", so this consolation was like no consolation at all, and it even increased his psychological burden.
Xing Taixiang took a deep breath and tried to calm his pounding heart.
He closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart: God bless me, I must...
"Wait!" Wu Hen shouted again, and everyone looked at him.
Wu Hen chuckled and took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket.
He handed it to Xing Taixiang and said, "Here, chew some gum to relax. It helps to calm down. I used this to do exceptionally well on the college entrance exam!"
Lin Qiye was too tired to complain. He covered his face, feeling that Wu Hen had completely disgraced him.
It’s already this late, and you still want to sell chewing gum?
Xing Taixiang hesitated for a moment, but still took the gum, put it in his mouth and started chewing.
A cool minty taste spread in his mouth, which did ease his nervous mood a little.
"Okay, I'm ready." Xing Taixiang said again. This time, his voice was obviously much firmer than before.
He suddenly opened his eyes and tossed the coin in his hand high into the air.
The coin spins and dances in the air, the sunlight shines on its ancient surface.
It reflects dazzling rays of light, like a meteor across the night sky.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the coin, holding their breath, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Wu Jier showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth. She had seen the trajectory of fate.
The coin will eventually come up literally heads, and she will win the bet.
However, just as the coin was about to hit the ground, a sudden strong wind blew in, and the trajectory of the coin subtly changed.
"What the hell? What's going on?" Wu Hen exclaimed, his eyes wide open, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
The coin drew a strange arc in the air, and finally, it stood steadily on the beach!
"This...how is this possible?" Xing Taixiang was stunned and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The smile on Wu Jier's face froze instantly. She stared at the coin standing on the ground in disbelief.
It was as if he had seen something incredible.
Lin Qiye was also shocked. This result was totally beyond his expectation.
He looked at Wu Hen, his eyes full of doubt: "You...you knew it would be like this?"
Wu Hen shrugged and said innocently, "How would I know? I just made a random guess. I was just lucky."
"Good luck?" Lin Qiye looked suspicious. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Hehe, maybe God is helping me."
Wu Hen smiled proudly and thought to himself: Anything produced by the system must be of high quality!
The gust of wind just now was naturally caused by his system.
"You..." Wu Jier took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner shock. She looked at Wu Hen.
"I accept the loss and the two prediction chances are mine." Wu Hen said with a smile, stretched out his hand and asked Wu Jier for the reward.
Wu Jier was silent for a moment, and finally nodded. She took out two runes emitting faint light from her arms and handed them to Wu Hen.
"These two runes will give you two chances to predict the future, but remember, the predictions are not absolute, and fate can be changed."
Wu Jier reminded in a serious tone.
Wu Hen took the rune, looked at it carefully, and then put it away carefully.
"Thank you for the reminder. I will cherish it." Wu Hen said with a smile.
Xing Taixiang stood up excitedly. Winning two games in a row, two prediction opportunities, this is simply...
"Now, can we go to the ruins?" Yuhui Qinggong's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xing Taixiangjian's words.
Everyone then remembered the purpose of their trip and looked towards Yuhuiqing Palace.
"Let's go. I can't wait to see what secrets are hidden in these ruins."
Lin Qiye said, taking the lead and stepping forward.
Wu Hen and Yu Huiqinggong followed closely behind, and Xing Taixiangjian and Wu Jier also followed.
The five of them walked along the coastline, heading towards a mysterious place on the east coast of Hokkaido...
Xing Taixiang was so excited that he jumped up and down several times as if he had won a five million lottery ticket.
He was humming an unknown tune, and was just about to have a street dance showdown to celebrate.
"Wow! Take off! Two prediction opportunities, it's a sure thing!" He rubbed his hands excitedly.
It was as if he had already seen a bright future, shining with the light of top-level rarity (SSR).
Wu Jier looked at Xing Taixiang's naive look and shook her head helplessly.
She slowly walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, as if communicating with some mysterious power.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure spread out, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
After a long time, Wu Jier opened her eyes.
"Behemoth? What behemoth? Godzilla? Loch Ness Monster? Or Cthulhu?"
Wu Hen had a curious baby's expression on his face, his imagination was full of ideas, and he instantly imagined ten thousand possibilities.
Lin Qiye's face was serious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that this ruins is more dangerous than we imagined."
"The second prophecy: When night falls and the stars shine, the lost lambs will find their way home."
Wu Jier continued, her tone becoming more serious.
"The lost lambs? Who are the lost lambs? Us? Or something in the ruins?"
Yuhui Qinggong was confused. This prophecy was too abstract, like a riddle.
"This prophecy is a bit mysterious..."
Wu Hen scratched his head, feeling that his brain was not enough. The amount of information was a bit too much, and he needed time to digest it.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Let's go to the east coast of Hokkaido first."
Lin Qiye made a prompt decision. He couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried, so he decided to go and investigate on the spot.
Everyone left Wu Jier's residence, and Yu Huiqinggong drove her sexy red sports car.
We sped all the way towards the east coast of Hokkaido.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing, and everyone was thinking about the meaning of the two prophecies.
"Brother Qiye, what exactly is this 'sleeping giant beast'? It can't really be Godzilla, right?"
Wu Hen broke the silence and tried to liven up the atmosphere.
"I don't know, but he's definitely not a good person." Lin Qiye shook his head with a serious tone.
"What does 'the lost lambs' mean? Could it be referring to us?" Yuhui Qinggong couldn't help but ask.
"It's possible, or it could refer to something else." Lin Qiye said after thinking for a moment.
"In short, we all need to be cautious. I'm afraid the ruins this time are not that simple."
"Hey, what do you think? Could it be that Wu Ji'er is deliberately fooling us?"
Wu Hen suddenly had an idea and said with a sly smile, "Maybe she just wants to see us make a fool of ourselves and then laugh secretly in the dark."
"That shouldn't be the case. Wu Jier doesn't look like that kind of person." Yuhui Qinggong said.
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart, Palace Master, please don't be so naive."
Wu Hen spoke with the tone of a seasoned veteran, saying earnestly, "These days, people's hearts are hidden. Who knows what she's thinking?"
"Okay, stop guessing and focus on your journey."
Lin Qiye interrupted Wu Hen's wild thoughts.
The most important thing now is to get to the east coast of Hokkaido as soon as possible, and other things can be dealt with later.
