Chapter 353: When a Person Loses All Shame, the World Is Invincible

Then the late king's younger brother began mentioning everyone and initiated a lottery.

This lottery used a red packet system: the group owner would send a red packet worth 100 Immortal Source Stones, with the number of packets equal to the group's member count; the top three members who grabbed the most Immortal Source Stones in the packets would participate in this mission.

Gao Xiang Hong also joined in grabbing the red packets.

After all, he was still a group member; even though he was now a weakling, the group owner treated everyone equally, and he treated grabbing red packets as mere formality—after all, any Immortal Source Stones he got were better than nothing.

Adhering to the principle that if you don't grab, you're a fool, and treating it as mere formality, Gao Xiang Hong tapped the red packet.

"Given my Non-Chief luck, there's no way I'll make the top three."

As he muttered this, Gao Xiang Hong grinned happily.

Not having to join the mission yet still getting some Immortal Source Stones for free? To him, this was pure bliss.

Yet the next second, his face fell.

"What the hell?!"

He opened the red packet on his phone and saw he had grabbed the highest amount—first place.

Fuck.

Gao Xiang Hong internally screamed: Did the QQ red packet system just screw me over?!

Normally, I always come in last or second-to-last—this time, I grab a measly 100 Immortal Source Stone packet, and suddenly I'm the Luck King?!

"Are you kidding me? Fuck!"

Gao Xiang Hong's eyelids twitched uncontrollably; he couldn't even find words to describe his current state of utter despair.

At this moment, he truly wondered if he'd been cursed with a Non-Chief hex—because winning first place in this lottery meant he was now doomed to join the mission.

Come on, he was just a Level Two Life Realm rookie—how could he possibly take on a mission meant for masters who had ascended to immortality?! This was suicide!

Staring at the glaring 100 Immortal Source Stone red packet—he'd grabbed 60—he winced.

If only I'd had this kind of luck during a big red packet grab back home—why now, of all times, did I get the Luck King title?!

The other members were also stunned.

At first, they'd all suspected: probably the Heavenly Evil Sword Immortal was the Luck King again.

The fun of grabbing red packets lay in seeing who got the most, so as soon as the packets were snatched, they checked their own amounts and immediately looked to see who the Luck King was.

But when they saw the result, they were speechless.

The glaring characters "Zu'an Intern" appeared before their eyes.

The group fell silent for a long while.

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【Congratulations, Xiang Hong, you've won the Luck King title for the first time.】

Zu'an Intern: 【... I don't want this Luck King title, crying like a blind monk—crying until blind. jpg】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【Xiang Hong, don't overthink it—at least you got the Luck King title.】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【Indeed, at least Xiang Hong finally won the Luck King title once. That's a good thing.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【I also want to be the Luck King.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【Xiang Hong, don't worry—you won the Luck King title, so they probably won't make you join the mission, right? Maybe.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【No way! Xiang Hong winning the Luck King title means he's destined for this mission! How can you keep him from going just because he's weak? You're not caring for him—you're discriminating against him.】

Gui Hong Mo Zu: 【Miti Dasheng Jun, are you twisting my words? But you're right—if the group owner says everyone must participate, then everyone must participate equally; we can't exclude someone just because they're weak.】

Gao Xiang Hong looked utterly bewildered.

It made sense that Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun, who always courted death, would push him into the mission.

But why wasn't his master protecting him? He knew how weak I am—why didn't he side with Xi Tian Mo Yao to shield his own disciple?

"Master, this isn't about discrimination based on strength—it's about saving my life!"

Gao Xiang Hong groaned to himself.

But before he could lament long, the next two messages made him understand what Gui Hong Mo Zu and Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun truly meant.

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【But, Mo Yao is right—Xiang Hong is still too weak; going would be dangerous, even life-threatening. How about this: I'll reluctantly take on this perilous mission myself.】

【I'm happy to bear this danger for Xiang Hong.】

Gui Hong Mo Zu: 【I am Xiang Hong's master. My disciple is still young; sending him now is too dangerous. As his master, I'll go in his place—this way, we don't violate the red packet rules, and we still treat everyone equally.】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【I'm ashamed to be grouped with you two.】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【I remember Xiang Hong once sent an emoji that fits this situation perfectly—wait, let me find it.】

Chang Nian Feng Shi Tong de Xian Wang: 【Is the Sword Immortal looking for this emoji? Never seen such a shameless person. jpg】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【Yes, that's the one.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【How can you say that? I'm doing this for Xiang Hong's sake! I didn't say I'd go for free—I'll give him Immortal Source Stones to compensate for his loss from not going.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【I'll offer 500 Immortal Source Stones to Xiang Hong to take his place in the mission.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【I'll offer 600.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【I'll offer 700.】

Gui Hong Mo Zu: 【I'll offer 1000!】

Chang Nian Feng Shi Tong de Xian Wang: 【@Zu'an Intern, Xiang Hong, looks like you've found a new path to wealth—next time you draw a mission slot, you can sell it. We're all eager to bid—uh, I'll bid 1001!】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【Fine. Since all you fellows are this shameless, I'll just go along with the trend—whoever offers me 2000 Immortal Source Stones, I'll give up my mission slot to you.】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【I already gained plenty from the last mission and need to close off for a while to assimilate it—so I'll also put my mission slot up for sale.】

At this moment, to seize this opportunity, these titans and overlords from countless worlds had abandoned all dignity.

This mission was to find the creator who defined the realms of Life Nine and Divine Nine Steps—such a figure was certainly no ordinary being.

If one could truly communicate with him and receive his guidance, it would be an even greater opportunity than any mere fortune.

In cultivation, to grow stronger is to fight against heaven, earth, and other beings—how could anyone let such a chance slip away?

Compared to becoming stronger, to achieving immortality, dignity meant nothing.

Xiang Hong felt the same, his eyes gleaming: "Indeed, compared to these seniors, I'm still not strong enough—why didn't I think of auctioning off the mission slot?"

Still, he really wanted to auction it, but since his master and the big shots in the group had been kind to him, he didn't plan to bid too high—just a friendly price of 100 Immortal Source Stones—but even if he wanted to sell, he didn't know who to give the slot to.

He felt selling to anyone would be inappropriate and offend others.

In the end, the group owner stepped in to mediate, and the sale concluded.
