Chapter 391: Bet, sure, but what can we win?

Bet, sure, but what can we win?

Bet?

As expected of a believer of 【Fate】, the gambling spirit is truly great.

Perhaps it was precisely because He saw this side of Cheng Shi that He dropped the dice to open the path of faith for his secondary personality?

Zhang Jizu's eyes narrowed into a slit; he turned his head to look around, then looked at Afluosi at his feet, nodded slightly, and said:

"I don't reject gambling, but generally speaking, the gains from winning a gamble should at least be worthy of the chips one has paid.

You know, my purpose in coming here is to fulfill the commission of that Lord and your Benefactor to protect you.

So I am more inclined not to take this risk.

But you... hmm, are an interesting friend.

I don't have many friends, and for an interesting friend, it's not impossible to take a risk.

Tell me about it, Cheng Shi. Before the child in Afluosi's belly dies, tell me about your gamble. Most importantly, what can we win in this gamble?"

The Squinting One's words remained sincere, so sincere that even without the Master of Deception, Cheng Shi knew he was telling the truth.

He had made quite a few new friends recently. Since friends had started opening up, as a believer of 【Deception】, if he didn't continue this heart-to-heart session, wouldn't he be letting down the favor of the God of Fun?

So Cheng Shi began his bluffing technique.

Whenever it involved the word "bet," his bluffing ability began to soar.

But his first target for bluffing wasn't Old Zhang, but Scorpio standing to the side.

He prepared to bluff this little brother who wasn't very good at self-preservation out first.

He took out a die, stuffed it into Scorpio's arms, and said:

"I'm already very happy that you could follow me here, but the next things are a bit dangerous. To be honest, I'm not sure I can protect you, so brother, you go. Find a quiet corner and survive until the level is cleared.

Believe me, we will win.

Also, 【Fate】 tells me this is not our final farewell; there will be a chance to meet again in the future."

Scorpio's expression was complex upon hearing this. The big shots he had followed before treated him like a beast of burden; a big shot like Cheng Shi who still cared about his thoughts was too rare.

He looked at Cheng Shi's serious appearance, neither accepting nor refusing, but suddenly asked a question that left Cheng Shi confused:

"Brother Cheng, are you... really bald and use Rejoice?"

"Absolutely true." Cheng Shi was stunned, then smiled sincerely, "I'm not bragging to you, I'm the world's number one Druid; taking you to fly is no problem."

Zhang Jizu hummed a laugh upon hearing this and said to Scorpio: "I suggest you stay away from him."

The Squinting One's words were full of teasing, and anyone could taste the flavor, but the little assassin was trapped in his own emotions, thinking Zhang Jizu was helping Cheng Shi persuade him.

The two of them... are really good.

They do the dangerous things themselves and eat the trial rewards together.

Not to mention high-scoring segments, where else in the whole game can you find such people?

Scorpio struggled with a complex expression for a long time, then nodded heavily.

"I found a retreat on the way here. Brother Cheng, I'll hide nearby. If there's anything you need help with, shout loudly, and I'll definitely hear it."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Cheng Shi to refuse and disappeared directly into the shadows.

Watching the little assassin leave, Cheng Shi laughed out loud.

Zhang Jizu raised an eyebrow: "What, are you interested in 【Time】?"

"【Time】?

No, no, I just thought of something fun."

"What fun thing?"

"Bald... forget it, I'll tell you when this is over."

Zhang Jizu didn't stop his hands, his eyes turned slightly, and he guessed something, so he laughed in his heart:

So this Zhen Yi's "boyfriend" really has a relationship with Honglin?

Interesting, how did she take a fancy to him?

After sending Scorpio away, Cheng Shi shifted his emotions and began the next bluff.

He had to answer Zhang Jizu's question: what could the two of them win from this gamble!

He smiled at the squinting Zhang Jizu, brewing his words while bluffing... saying:

"What I can win is naturally a gamble that pleases myself. You should have seen it; I love gambling, and this is also the reason why He is willing to bless my secondary personality.

So, as long as you are willing to join and help me complete this gamble, regardless of winning or losing, I have already won the 'benefit.'

As for you... Old Zhang, since you still remember your own mission, you should understand that your mission is not yet completed."

"?"

Zhang Jizu squinted and frowned:

"Yes, there is still half a day left before the trial ends. If you really want to save this child, there may indeed be unforeseen risks.

But if you calculate it this way, I think not betting on this round is more profitable for me, because no bet means no risk. I can completely take you away and wait until the trial ends."

Cheng Shi heard this and shook his head violently:

"No, no, no, you're wrong.

You said you came here by praying to the God of Fun, so I would like to ask, what is the commission He gave you through that Lord?"

Zhang Jizu recalled carefully for a moment and remembered that Lord's original words.

"Try to protect the life of one of His believers during the trial."

He repeated this sentence to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi heard it and grinned. Zhang Jizu was slightly confused; he really didn't follow Cheng Shi's train of thought.

"Where is the problem?"

"Problem?

There is no problem anywhere; it's your understanding that has a problem.

Old Zhang, why do you think the God of Fun wants to protect me?"

I have to say, this question hit Zhang Jizu's heart. Although he had witnessed many of Cheng Shi's lies along the way, he had never understood what his mission was for.

To be reasonable, before meeting Cheng Shi, he had never thought that there would be someone among the top players whose steadiness was on par with his.

To be honest, with Cheng Shi's fear of death, as long as he doesn't court death, it's probably hard for him to die.

But he also saw that Cheng Shi just loved to court a little death; when his gambling spirit flared up, the light in his eyes looked like it wanted to turn into a rope to tie himself to the pirate ship.

But if it was just like this, 【Deception】 would seem to have no need to use his Benefactor's mouth to order him around. Even if they made a deal, how could a True God's instruction just be a deal? There must be some unknown deep meaning hidden inside, but Zhang Jizu really didn't see it.

Cheng Shi saw Zhang Jizu starting to doubt, and his heart bloomed with joy; he was waiting for the other party's doubt.

"Can't figure it out, right? That's why I said your understanding has a problem.

You know, I am His believer; I know Him too well.

【Deception】 is a collection of lies in the universe; there has never been a truth in His oracle, let alone letting you do something through that Lord.

If He really did this, then in my opinion, His goal is definitely not me, but... you!"

"Me?" Zhang Jizu's eyes narrowed and closed into a straight line.

Cheng Shi looked at Gao Ya's face with a strange expression, always feeling that what should be closed shouldn't be the eyes, but that pair of huge nostrils.

"Not bad, it's you.

A True God's thoughts are hard to fathom, even if I am His believer, it's impossible to guess what He is thinking, but I feel He seems to have taken a fancy to you.

Still the old topic, you also know that They are pushing for the fusion of faiths, and you also guessed that 【Deception】 and 【Death】 have a close relationship.

That Lord once intended to favor me, but I didn't know what was good for me at the time, split off a troublesome secondary personality, and got the Dice of Fate, so I missed this opportunity.

But how could Their efforts in faith fusion be interrupted? So, think about it, you...

Could you be that candidate?"

Zhang Jizu frowned, always feeling that Cheng Shi had something in his words.

So the offer you threw away was inherited by me in order, right?

But it cannot be denied that what Cheng Shi said... has a bit of truth.

He himself had such suspicions.

But the problem is, Zhang Jizu felt he didn't have talent in 【Deception】; why on earth did He take a fancy to him?

Cheng Shi also saw this doubt of Zhang Jizu; he pondered for a moment and edited... filled in this logical loophole.

"Because you don't lie."

"?"

"Ha, feel absurd?

Absurd is right; if it weren't absurd, it wouldn't be the God of Fun.

Think about it, when everyone knows your second faith embraces 【Deception】, what will they think of you?

When facing you, when thinking about your statements, what kind of reaction will they have?

Even if you tell the truth, under the halo of 【Deception】, those teammates and opponents of yours will probably ponder every word you say three times.

Lies can deceive people, but truth can too. Who would have thought that a Gravedigger who doesn't lie would lead everyone into a ditch... oh no, into a graveyard?

Ha, I guess this is His true goal!

Sorry, Old Zhang, this might be a bit hurtful, but I think what He took a fancy to is probably not you as a person, but the fun that bursts out after you carry the color of 【Deception】!"

"Fun..."

This explanation is too outrageous, too nonsensical, and too unprofessional.

But Zhang Jizu vaguely felt that this seems... to make sense?

He digested Cheng Shi's statement carefully and asked with squinting eyes:

"Continue, I'm listening. Why do you say my mission is not yet completed?"

Cheng Shi got excited and "gestured with vigor":

"When you look at the trial given to you by the God of Fun from this perspective, you should know that you haven't completed His commission.

Because, you haven't protected me!"

This seems like nonsense, but Zhang Jizu knew Cheng Shi would never waste time now, so he tried to understand what Cheng Shi said from the perspective of "fun" and "absurdity." After only a few seconds, his eyes suddenly opened for a moment.

He suddenly realized that the requirement of 【Deception】 shouldn't be understood according to common sense, but should be...

Picky about words!

Cheng Shi saw his appearance and knew he had figured it out, so he laughed out loud:

"Understand now?

The key to His mission for you to protect me is not 'me,' but 'protect'!

Since I haven't encountered danger, how can you protect me?

So, He probably anticipated this scene long ago, and His attitude is... to let you bet with me!

In this gamble with life as the stake, 'protect' me!

Think about it, Old Zhang, in these few days of the trial, you haven't achieved this word 'protect.'

Although the substitute doll was used to protect me, it was used on Mo Shu."

"..."

"He did take a fancy to you, hmm, you can think so, but He still gave you some tests, and this trial is at least one of the tests.

It doesn't matter if you don't lie, it doesn't matter if you don't lie often, as long as you solve the problem He wrote, it means you have the intention to approach Him.

So, Old Zhang, whether to bet on this gamble or not is not up to me; this is a multiple-choice question He gave you.

Embrace 【Deception】, or, look for something else.

Now, it's your turn to make a choice."
