Chapter 100
Today's Warrior and the Nature Sect
Li Bola clearly saw Ji Ran's faith as well; she raised her eyebrows, her tone slightly mocking:
"Today's Warrior?"
Ji Ran didn't deny it, nodding indifferently.
【Fate】 has many authorities, but the most dramatic among them is undoubtedly "Randomness."
Today's Warrior is a player who has accepted the blessing of this single "Randomness."
Originally, the number of players choosing this profession was very high; it makes sense, as "Warrior of Fate," a setting with "mysterious" and "tragic" colors, sounds like a protagonist, enough to drive many people crazy.
But now, half a year later, this profession has become one of the ones with the fewest people.
Even fewer than the Scion Priests.
The reason for this is nothing more than three words: they die a lot.
Randomness means complete uncertainty.
Humans cannot find patterns in endless randomness, and no patterns mean no stable means of solving problems, which further means the danger of the trial doubles.
The reason this profession is called "Today's Warrior" is because even they themselves don't know if they will be a warrior today.
The decree of 【Fate】 is to roll the Dice of Fate, and whether Today's Warrior can become a warrior depends entirely on the points of the dice.
When the points are 1, the poor person abandoned by fate will lose all divine power and be as useless as an ordinary person.
But when the points are maxed out, the strong person favored by fate will be filled with divine power, strong as a bulldozer, flattening everything!
So in a sense, Today's Warrior is indeed a peer of Cheng Shi, because they both know how to lie.
They generally hide their points so that their teammates won't dislike them too much.
Of course, they don't need to when they roll max points.
At that time, they will become big shots who carry their teammates, and they can enjoy the admiring gazes of their teammates without restraint.
Cheng Shi laughed wildly at this thought, and he asked a wickedly bad question:
"Already rolled, are you a warrior today?"
Ji Ran has 2076 points, and the Dice of Fate has 14 sides in total.
To be reasonable, being able to roll above 7 is basically the average player level; they are reliable, but you can't count on them to carry.
Rolling above 12, you can treat them as half a thigh to lean on.
Rolling 14, it wouldn't be unacceptable to call him "Big Daddy."
Originally, Cheng Shi just wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect Ji Ran to actually respond.
"13."
Cheng Shi's gaze froze.
He wasn't lying.
Fuck, brother, you aren't going to receive some strange "decree" today, are you??
Cheng Shi hurriedly put on a fawning smile, trying to curry favor with the big brother.
But the big brother ignored him, still in his slacker mode.
Seeing this, another female player spoke up.
"Not bad, fight me; I happen to be lacking an opponent."
This woman in a sports bra and hot pants stretched her limbs and introduced herself very enthusiastically:
"Qin Chaoge, Voice of the Storm, 2190."
Voice of the Storm, a Singer of 【War】.
Her personality was very much in line with Cheng Shi's stereotype of 【War】 faith, but this profession......
Sister, your biceps are so strong, and you're actually a support?
Buffing yourself to start a team fight, are you?
However, although Qin Chaoge looked like a careless follower of 【War】, her observation skills were not weak at all.
There were still two players behind her who hadn't spoken, and one who wasn't even on the scene.
But Cheng Shi had only spoken once, and she had actually stated her faith without any hesitation.
You have to know, in a trial at this bracket, unless you've deduced that you have no opponents present, you would still appropriately hide it.
At least for the moment, Cheng Shi hadn't fully seen through the situation; the only thing he could be sure of was that the last lady before him indeed didn't look like someone of 【Silence】.
As for the other one, since they weren't even there, there was naturally no way to know.
"I can be a sandbag for you, but I won't fight back."
Ji Ran simply sat directly on the corridor floor; he looked up at Qin Chaoge opposite him and curled his lips:
"Provided there's a priest in the team."
Look, isn't this a coincidence?
If he could let a follower of 【Fate】 get a good beating......
"Cheng Shi, 【Sinking】, Priest, 2401." Someone spoke at light speed.
"......"
Ji Ran clearly didn't expect Cheng Shi to be a priest; in his first impression, this person should have been an assassin or a hunter.
Because from the very beginning, his gaze when sizing up others hadn't stopped.
Ji Ran blinked innocently and then stood up, resigned to his fate.
"Come on, let's make it quick, but it's agreed: don't hit the face, and don't hit the balls."
Qin Chaoge nodded with a smile, and a straight punch came head-on, blasting Ji Ran, who had just stood up, away.
"......"
"......"
"You, a Singer?" Cheng Shi smiled very stiffly.
"What's wrong, handsome, do you want me to give you something exciting too?"
Qin Chaoge said this as if she wanted to give Cheng Shi a punch too, scaring him into waving his hands hurriedly.
If you want to sing, I can listen to a bit, but if you just want to fight......
Then it's better to give the follower of 【Fate】 two more punches.
The situation of this trial was different from the past.
The teammates' scores were neither high nor low, just belonging to the bracket Cheng Shi was in; this was a good thing, as players in the same bracket had closer skill levels and were easier to coordinate with.
But the problem this time didn't come from the teammates, but from himself.
Before the introduction, when Cheng Shi tried to replace his faith, unexpectedly, he felt the rejection of certain faiths.
【Prosperity】, 【Truth】, 【War】; one after another, they all failed.
He didn't have time to ponder the reason in his mind; the words were already out, so he could only choose 【Decay】, which was left at the end.
Fortunately, 【Decay】 didn't refuse.
But the priest of 【Decay】 is a blood-swapping priest, a profession that relies heavily on teammates, often falling into a state of severe injury and weakness in order to save teammates.
Therefore, in order not to face so much pressure, Cheng Shi chose to report his score a little bit higher.
In this way, the SS talent rolled after 2400 might become a "bright card" to deter the thoughts of some small-minded people.
And Cheng Shi wasn't lying, after all, he really had an SS-level talent.
And so......
Today's Cheng Shi......
Was forced to become a follower of 【Decay】, a Withered Priest.
Qin Chaoge's profession and personality were clearly somewhat inconsistent, leading everyone to have a somewhat awkward first impression of her.
The last lady had been standing quietly on the side watching everyone, until just now, when she saw the violent explosive power of the 【War】 follower; only then did a ripple appear on her smiling face, revealing a hint of surprise.
At this time, seeing everyone's gaze glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally, she bowed and spoke very elegantly:
"Hu Xuan, Life Sage, 2433."
Life Sage, a Mage of 【Birth】.
Cheng Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to himself that this sister was indeed an expert.
It was one thing not to hide her faith, but looking at this attitude, it seemed she didn't care at all whether her faith was opposed to theirs.
Did she see something?
Or was she used to stating her family background in high brackets and had the confidence to do so?
But doing this makes me a bit dumbfounded, sister.
I'm at least 1 point higher than 2400, and I'm not arrogant enough to state my family background......
Dissatisfaction aside, the surprise was still very surprising.
He really didn't expect this charming big sister to be a follower of 【Birth】.
His first instinct was that Hu Xuan should be a person of 【Filth】.
"Yo, so you're not someone who has bathed in the sea of desire?
Tsk tsk tsk, it's rare to see you 【Birth】 people be so open."
Qin Chaoge seemed to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone; her gaze wandered wantonly over Hu Xuan, as if she wanted to see through this lady who had a steady demeanor but wasn't dressed so steadily.
Hu Xuan wore a black slip dress with a very high slit; the high slit here referred not only to the hem of the skirt at the waist and hips, but also to the neckline in front of the chest.
Not only that, this dress, which was so tight that it outlined all her curves, also had some hollow designs on the waist and abdomen, making people grasp the key points at a glance.
Hot, really hot.
Feeling Qin Chaoge's aggressive gaze, Hu Xuan wasn't annoyed at all.
She smiled elegantly and even changed her posture, standing tall to better display her figure.
To be honest, no one on the scene could resist not looking.
Cheng Shi's gaze was instantly drawn over.
Yearning for beautiful things is a human instinct, regardless of color.
And, Hu Xuan was indeed very beautiful.
Every inch of her figure was beautiful just right, truly living up to the saying:
Add one part and it's too long, subtract one part and it's too short.
Who wouldn't like such a sister?
Slurp...... ahem, first of all, I am not......
Seeing everyone staring at her, Hu Xuan bloomed with a smile again and turned elegantly.
Forget it, I am!
Slurp!
"Heh, Nature Sect."
Li Bola sneered, exposing Hu Xuan's identity.
The Nature Sect, an organization that believes divinity is born from human nature, advocating for self-liberation and returning to one's true nature.
When the 【Faith Game】 first descended, the Nature Sect was still a righteous faction dominated by players of the 【Life】 path, but as they absorbed members beyond a single path and more players of other faiths flooded in, the philosophy of the Nature Sect slowly shifted and changed.
By now, they had gradually stood at the critical point between 【Life】 and 【Sinking】.
Many sect members balanced their desires between "releasing nature" and "depraved indulgence" like walking a tightrope, approaching what they called "nature" through this will-training of walking on thin ice.
But its nature, like the Reason Association, was all for the sake of becoming a god.
It's just that the Reason Association is more arrogant, while they are more introverted.
Hu Xuan didn't deny it; she said with a smile:
"Conceiving life, evolving nature.
As His follower, returning to the essence of nature is the only and correct path, isn't it?"
