Chapter 158: Everything is the arrangement of fate

Everything is the arrangement of fate.

2400!!??

The three Fire-Keepers present all widened their eyes, and even Fang Shiqing suddenly held her breath.

She had considered that Cheng Shi's score would definitely be higher than 2000, but she had never imagined he would actually have 2400!

A player at this score bracket is already an existence that the vast majority of people need to look up to.

"Big Boss, don't scare me."

"2400..."

"You..."

Fang Shiqing stared into Cheng Shi's eyes, seemingly wanting to see through his heart.

But Cheng Shi's heart was not seen through; instead, her own heart was seen through first.

Because her inner thoughts were all written in those eyes flashing with shock.

All complex emotions ultimately condensed into two words:

Regret!

She regretted it!

At that time, she should have persisted, persisted more, and persisted continuously!

Perhaps she could have used a shameless method to pull Cheng Shi into the Fire-Keepers' camp.

A "good" person with 2400 points must be the greatest asset the Fire-Keepers have ever recruited since their founding!

Because no matter the era, the Fire-Keepers' Salary-Seekers never dared to rashly approach players with scores above 2400.

These players have already carved out their own paths in the 【Faith Game】, and it is impossible to convert them to such a benevolent salvation organization just by relying on ethereal dreams.

The Fire-Keepers are very pragmatic, and so is Fang Shiqing.

She has always known that if the Fire-Keepers want to grow, they can only look for potential stocks in the low score brackets.

But half a year after the game's descent, even potential stocks have long since "cashed in" their potential; how could there be so much "promising future" to speak of?

Therefore, which score bracket to pick people from, and what kind of people to pick, has always been a question that Salary-Seekers need to consider cautiously!

Even for those above 2000 points, one cannot reveal their stance or identity without absolute certainty.

It was also because of this that when she was recruiting Cheng Shi, she said she was willing to take a gamble.

But she lost the gamble, because Cheng Shi refused.

Yet she won the gamble, because Cheng Shi did not betray them like a certain player who had been invited by another Salary-Seeker.

And at this very moment, he had even appeared here in response to the call.

Seeing Fang Shiqing's expression becoming increasingly complex, Cheng Shi slowly turned his head away, pretending not to see it.

He looked toward the dark corner and said with a hint of playfulness:

"If you admire me, don't say it; I have too many fan girls, so you'll have to queue up if you have any thoughts.

Let's talk about the present instead.

What is the situation now, where are we, where are we going, and furthermore, who is our enemy?"

Initially, looking at the surrounding environment, Cheng Shi only thought this was a difficult urban guerrilla campaign.

But when Fang Shiqing spat out a place name, a thunderclap exploded in his mind, and he stood frozen on the spot.

"Gasimela.

We are currently in the cellar of a tavern in the inner city of Gasimela.

Our identities are City Guard Knights, but now, under the fierce assault of the 【Yu Hui Church】, the City Guard Knight Order has been scattered.

The scholars have contracted their defensive forces, striving to protect the inner city at all costs while awaiting rescue from the Tower of Reason.

But the entire city is already at the center of the storm, in imminent danger.

The outer city walls have been breached in countless places, rendering them useless, and the 【Chaos】 believers of the Death Knell Knight Order are pouring in frantically!

And we need to find the scholars' Void Experimental Field No. 69 before the flames ignite the World Tree of Gasimela.

Before His believers destroy everything, we must obtain a piece of...

... a Whispering Petal that has not yet withered."

Speaking to this point, Fang Shiqing felt it was perhaps a bit excessive to reveal the entire prayer objective.

Given the current situation, being able to survive and exit the trial was already the best outcome.

After all, this campaign, which shook the entire Star Fall Continent, was the most "high-profile" moment for the 【Chaos】 believers in the entire history of the Star Fall Continent.

Countless surface humans died like mown grass, the flowing blood nearly submerged the entire city ruins, and the fire that burned like a giant sun after the war incinerated all the tragedies that occurred during that time.

A few strokes in history books might not be shocking, but when you are in the midst of it, you realize how insignificant a person's power is in this war that exterminates truth and tramples on order.

Cheng Shi had just been summoned here and perhaps had no concept of this cruelty, but the three of them had already been struggling for their lives on the battlefield for four days.

Even if they only saw a corner of the entire magnificent battlefield, the scenes of these four days were enough to make them unforgettable for a lifetime.

Although this is Gasimela, although this is the Tower of Reason, at this very moment, it is the home turf of the Yu Hui Church!

It is the place where the Death Knell Knight Order tolls the knell for all order and truth!

Cheng Shi's shock and unease were seen by everyone; Bai Ling bit her lip tightly and squeezed out a firm smile, saying:

"Big... brother? Don't panic, I... will protect you."

Panic?

Are you kidding, would I panic?

Cheng Shi sniffed and took two deep breaths.

Tower of Reason, Gasimela, Yu Hui Church!

These three terms had been heard too many times today.

At this moment, he understood completely.

He had absolutely been set up.

What kind of bullshit 【Order】, what kind of bullshit 【Chaos】, what kind of bullshit summoning!

It was all fake!

This was clearly an arrangement by 【Fate】!

This inescapable sense of destiny was simply too strong, so strong that Cheng Shi even felt that the person he wanted to observe was none other than himself!

He had already hidden the answer here, hidden beneath this trial.

The pearl on the Crown of Truth!

What else could be called the Crown of Truth, what else could be the pearl?

Isn't it just the fruit that the World Tree waited five hundred years to bear!!

Was he inexplicably dragged to this place by a mask, dragged into another trial 200 years later, dragged into the battlefield where 【Chaos】 invaded Gasimela, just for that fruit?

So, you want me to go and take that fruit, right?

【Fate】?

Cheng Shi, with a livid face, gripped the dice in his sleeve, countless thoughts surging in his mind.

But at this moment, he felt the beating of the Dice of Fate again.

The pale dice in his palm flipped over, turning the dice Cheng Shi had set to 6 back to 1.

"???"

You're actually responding?

No, I mean: You... are actually taking the time to respond to me?

I was just thinking randomly, just saying it casually.

If you're busy, you don't have to suddenly acknowledge me.

It's kind of scary...

Cheng Shi broke into a cold sweat instantly.

His fingers rubbed the unchanging one, and he kept chanting in his heart, using all the praise and compliments he had learned from childhood to adulthood.

But the Dice of Fate remained motionless, and the 1 facing up seemed to radiate silent mockery.

Good, very good.

Not moving at this time is the greatest affirmation of the previous praise.

Otherwise, he might have already been gone.

It seems He has forgiven him once again.

Praise... uh... praise forgiveness.

The violent brainstorming in Cheng Shi's mind dissipated abruptly; he awkwardly gripped the dice through his clothes, wondering what to say to hide his suddenly changed expression.

However, the three Fire-Keepers in front of him were also lost in thought and didn't notice his expression at all.

The four of them remained silent in the stuffy space for a while, until Cheng Shi tentatively and quietly released the Dice of Fate, confirming that nothing had happened, before he let out a heavy sigh of relief and put his little heart, which had jumped to his throat, back into his stomach.

"Don't be so gloomy, this trial will definitely be won." Cheng Shi smiled stiffly and said to the three people in front of him.

Fang Shiqing looked at Cheng Shi in astonishment, not knowing why he had suddenly become so confident.

Cheng Shi saw her confusion, but he couldn't explain.

Because he felt that if this trial failed, his own life might have to be settled in Gasimela to repay the debt owed to that lord.

Fate...

It really is...

Fine!
