Chapter 327: Because my luck is too good

Because my luck is too good

Xiang Honglin's first thought was:

This world is crazy.

A weaver of fate who just wanted to pull her into the ranks of the destined, came back after seeing her patron and asked her: Do you want to become 【Prosperity】's messenger?

How prosperous must one's mental state be to ask such a question?

Are you destined people all this crazy?

To be honest, after hearing Cheng Shi say this, Xiang Honglin wasn't that shocked; she just felt Cheng Shi's brain might be a bit messy.

But after observing for a long time and finding that Cheng Shi's expression and tone didn't seem fake, her heart skipped a beat.

"Are you serious?"

Cheng Shi nodded extremely seriously:

"Yes, I'm serious. I'm asking you, do you want to become a god? Do you want to act on behalf of 【Prosperity】's authority?"

"..." Xiang Honglin felt she was crazy. She couldn't help but turn into a big cat on the spot, using her thick paws to rub her face hard, and then she turned back into a human and repeated what she had just said.

"Are you serious?"

Cheng Shi didn't understand what effect this operation of the druid had, but he still nodded solemnly:

"True!"

"If I want to, can it be realized?"

Cheng Shi didn't promise too much: "With Their support, probably."

Xiang Honglin's pupils shrank, she grabbed Cheng Shi's shoulders tightly, her face complex:

"Who?"

Cheng Shi pondered for a moment and told the truth: "【Death】, 【Fraud】, and perhaps 【Fate】."

When she heard these three divine names, Xiang Honglin's pupils shrank again, her heartbeat getting faster and faster, almost jumping out of her chest.

Looking at Cheng Shi's solemn expression asking for her opinion, Xiang Honglin thought of a lot. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly blurted out in disbelief:

"Messenger?"

Cheng Shi smiled: "Smart! That's the messenger. So, do you want to?"

This time Xiang Honglin didn't hesitate. She endured the extreme shock in her heart and nodded through gritted teeth:

"I want to!"

?

Cheng Shi didn't expect Xiang Honglin to agree so quickly. Even though she was always cautious when he was fooling her before, now that this matter was bigger and crazier, why did she agree?

Xiang Honglin saw Cheng Shi's astonishment, so she smiled too, but her smile clearly showed nervousness.

"Your question is too terrifying, so terrifying that I almost lost the ability to think, as if I had returned to the moment the 【Faith Game】 arrived and all the mysterious and strange things appeared in front of me.

Why, do you think I don't want to?"

"No, I just didn't expect you to agree so quickly. Aren't you resistant to 【Prosperity】?"

Xiang Honglin shook her head and let out a heavy breath.

"What I resist is being unable to resist; what I worry about is being plotted against by Her.

But if you ask me if I want to become a messenger with more self-protection ability, then naturally I want to.

Otherwise, why would I still struggle in this game? Isn't it to become stronger?

Becoming Them, oppressing others, plotting against others, isn't that better than resisting pressure yourself?"

"..."

Your perspective is quite unique.

Cheng Shi smiled. He should have thought that Xiang Honglin wasn't an indecisive person; she was a warrior, a warrior who dared to fight.

Xiang Honglin saw Cheng Shi's expression finally stop being solemn. She sat down next to him with a "thump" and panted heavily:

"Quick, tell me what happened. While my sanity hasn't left me yet, tell me everything."

Cheng Shi was happy. It was rare to see Xiang Honglin not confident. He told her everything without hiding anything.

A moment later, Xiang Honglin's expression became extremely complex.

Cheng Shi looked at this friend who was frowning and thinking, just like the time they stepped out of the void, and asked that question again.

"Now, do you still want to?"

Xiang Honglin didn't answer him, but asked:

"Is there enough time?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. Although the patron said time waits for no one, He didn't urge him or come to find him, so naturally, it was enough.

Perhaps the gods were still fighting in a group on the canopy sea. Thinking about waiting for them to finish the battle, it might take a while.

So Cheng Shi nodded, signaling Xiang Honglin to speak if she had anything to say.

Xiang Honglin let out another turbid breath, looked at this new weaver of fate friend beside her, and showed a relieved smile.

"Cheng Shi, do you know why I believe in fate?"

"Why?"

"Because... my luck is too good."

"?"

That's too much, friend. Why give me a critical hit on the first strike?

Xiang Honglin seemed less nervous. She lay back on the grass, looked at the lush canopy high above, and told her own story.

"When I say luck, I actually mean good fortune.

My life wasn't good originally, at least when I was a child, it could be said to be very poor.

From the moment I was born, I suffered from irreversible progeria. Can you imagine? When I was 12, the wrinkles on my face were more than my 82-year-old great-grandmother, and my hair was thinner than hers.

All doctors concluded that I wouldn't live past 15, but on my 14th birthday, a biology professor came to my neighbor's house.

At first, we didn't know he wasn't a professor, but a black-market dealer doing illegal biological experiments in private, but he did use those unimaginable biological experiments to keep me alive. Although I became a useless person who could only lie in a petri dish with tubes inserted and no dignity, I did survive, living past 15.

Fortunately, my family was still wealthy, and my parents earned money to maintain the experiments, so I didn't die in the jar.

When I was 16, Tao Yi moved in and became my neighbor.

This little girl was 2 years younger than me. She was pretty, had a nice voice, was lively, cheerful, and smart. Most importantly, she was healthy, very healthy.

My mother always felt I lacked a friend of the same age, so under her deliberate guidance and invitation, Tao Yi often came to see me, and she wasn't afraid of the jar that trapped me like a cage at all.

With the company of a peer, I was very happy, even though I looked more like her grandmother, or even great-grandmother.

But I was also often jealous of her, jealous that she was pretty, jealous that she was healthy and worry-free.

This complex emotion lasted for several years. My body got worse and worse, so bad that even these experiments couldn't hold me.

And just when our family saw no hope, that black-market dealer Professor Chen, who had heaven-reaching means, got another medicine, saying it could be used to keep me alive, but this medicine was more expensive than the experiments.

But that year, my family's business failed, and it looked like the money for life-saving was about to run out. Who knew that one night, my dad won a lottery ticket, 6 million.

How about that, unimaginable, right? It was this 6 million that allowed the family business to recover, and also allowed me to continue to survive.

But later I found out that the lottery ticket wasn't won by him; it was won by Tao Yi. Tao Yi, who was still in college, took her living expenses every day to buy lottery tickets, just to win money to treat my illness. Who could have thought that a silly college student could win the lottery? And it just happened to be the life-saving lottery ticket when my family was at its wit's end.

This fool had nothing to do with me, and that money wasn't a small amount for her family. She could have completely ignored me, but she didn't.

She didn't tell her family, secretly stuffed that lottery ticket into my dad's pocket. My dad didn't know the cause and effect, and seeing that this money could save a life, he black-heartedly kept it.

Then I lived again, lived for many more years, and the family business got better and better, even having money to push Tao Yi to pursue her own singing dream.

But she... to be honest, she sang average, so my mother had to let her change tracks, but who knew that just by guest-starring as a little maid, she became popular.

The first money she earned was used to buy me the latest medicine, but at that time my family clearly didn't lack that money, sigh...

Later, this ghost illness could no longer be dragged on. My mother, who had always been most confident in my recovery, gave up. They cried and prepared for my funeral, and then...

The 【Faith Game】 arrived."

"..."

"So you can guess why I chose 【Prosperity】, and why I would thank Her, because She let me stand up again.

In that starting point of the path, there were three tokens: 【Prosperity】's green branch, 【Decay】's dagger, and 【Fate】's dice.

When I knew that the green branch could restore me to my original state, I didn't even look at the other two things."

Xiang Honglin smiled self-deprecatingly, turned to look at Cheng Shi beside her, and said:

"Now, do you know why I believe in fate? My first half of life is proof of good luck.

That's why I told you I'm not afraid of death, because every time I walk to the door of hell, there will always be a hand pushing me back.

At first it was Professor Chen, later it was Tao Yi, and now it's you, Cheng Shi."

Cheng Shi's thoughts were surging and he was greatly shocked. He thought that perhaps this was the reason 【Fate】 bestowed that dice, because He had already taken a fancy to this poor person favored by 【Good Luck】 at the starting point of the path.

It turns out there really are children favored by 【Fate】. Xiang Honglin wasn't fooled by him; she really did believe in fate.

As for himself, he took advantage of 【Good Luck】.

"I wasn't crazy originally, because I felt I had to live for them, but now that I've met you and witnessed the destined person, I realized I was wrong.

My good luck shouldn't be my backup, but my weapon.

So, if possible, why not? At least standing at that height, I can better protect my friends.

Acting on behalf of 【Prosperity】's authority, wouldn't that better allow my friends to 【Prosper】 forever?"

Cheng Shi smiled. He smiled happily, even clapping his hands. And while clapping, he activated the 【Sea of Memories Floating Dream】, writing the story of the Fungus-Foot people and the divine messenger into the history of the Continent of Hope.

Watching Cheng Shi's operation, Xiang Honglin suddenly asked:

"Will we die?"

This question was heavy, because this time it wasn't a problem that a 【Order】 remnant page could solve. This gamble must be all-in, and it was an all-in with no way back.

This time Cheng Shi really couldn't be sure, but at least under the protection of the patron, even if they died, they shouldn't die too miserably.

So he nodded "firmly": "No, definitely not." ===== CHAPTER 328 =====
