Chapter 708

Brother, you blaspheme 【Deception】 like this, does the Fun God have no opinion?

Li Wufang was speechless. He felt that he had encountered the biggest scam since the descent of 【Faith Game】, and also the biggest crisis.

It's just that this crisis wasn't the scam itself, but that he was clearly facing such an outrageous scam, yet he was actually moved.

An uncontrollable impulse arose in his heart, like a moth to a flame, wanting to plunge straight into this brilliant fire of 【Fate】!

He looked into Cheng Shi's eyes, his expression extremely conflicted, and he was frantically weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Cheng Shi saw this hesitation, so he threw another small weight onto the scale in the other party's heart that was about to lose balance.

A weight called "self-persuasion."

"Tell me about yourself, Investigator. Why do you believe in 【Fate】 so much?"

The conflict on Li Wufang's face stalled, and soon the colors of memory welled up in his eyes.

He didn't say much, but took out an old photo from the leather jacket he had taken off and handed it to Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi took it and saw that it was a landscape photo taken in a city square.

Of course, it wasn't purely a landscape. In the center of this photo was a fountain pool, and inside that fountain pool was a child soaked to the bone, holding something in his hand, staring with a pair of big eyes as if looking for something.

This was the whole photo. Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise and recognized that the child in the photo was Li Wufang.

"Is this you?"

"Yes, this is me, me when I was a child." Li Wufang nodded.

"Are you... playing in the water?"

"No, I was... following the guidance of 【Fate】."

"?" Cheng Shi frowned slightly, stopped talking, and began to listen quietly to the other party's story.

"I am an orphan."

"......" Congratulations, you already have the look of a protagonist.

Li Wufang didn't see Cheng Shi's brilliant expression. He stared at the photo with some nostalgia, grinned slightly, and laughed:

"I grew up with my grandmother since I was a child. When I was 12, my grandmother got sick, a serious illness, a serious illness that all the money in the world couldn't cure.

I couldn't do anything, I could only watch her lying in bed, her spirit withering day by day.

Until one day I realized that if I didn't do something, I would lose my grandmother. So I learned from the TV shows and dressed myself up as a beggar to go to the street to beg.

The funny thing is, I didn't even need to dress up much. I just patted some dust on my face, and others thought I was a real little beggar.

I went to the city square, where there were the most people. The uncles, aunts, older brothers, and older sisters who passed by all felt sorry for me. They greeted me, comforted me, and cared for me, but they didn't give me anything.

I couldn't complain, because they didn't owe me anything.

Grandmother also said that when a person is poor, they shouldn't lose their spirit, but I couldn't help but lose my spirit, because if I didn't open my mouth, grandmother would leave.

So I cried and shouted in the square, hoping everyone would give me some money, but as soon as the crying started, these people who were just comforting me, warming me, and guiding me dispersed with a bang, leaving only me crying heartbreakingly by the pool.

And it was at this moment that the person who changed my life appeared...

That day, he was wearing the same leather jacket as me."

As he spoke, Li Wufang even lifted his leather jacket, but this strange action looked like he was showing off his biceps to Cheng Shi.

"......"

"I forgot what he looked like, I only remember his voice was very hoarse. He said he was a person favored by the Goddess of Luck, because his luck was too good, so he could also bring good luck to others.

But not everyone can have good luck. Only those who believe in fate will have good luck.

So he asked me if I believed in fate.

I asked him if grandmother would get better if I believed in fate, and he said yes, so I said I believed.

Then he gave me a die and told me to throw it hard into the sky, and said that when the die fell, good luck would come.

I threw it as told, and the die fell into the pool.

I was stunned, wanting to ask him where the good luck was, but he was already gone by then.

At that time, I didn't think much at all, I just wanted to accept this good luck to let grandmother get better, so I jumped into the water to find that die, hoping it would give me guidance regarding good luck.

Unexpectedly, it actually gave me guidance.

That die happened to fall on a coin. I picked up the die and also picked up the coin. Just as I was carefully examining it, a passing uncle discovered me and hurriedly hugged me out of the pool.

Later I found out that he hugged me out not to save me, but because he saw the coin in my hand.

That coin... was very collectible.

I don't know why it appeared there, and I don't know why there happened to be a passing uncle. I attributed everything to good luck. That uncle bought the coin from my hand, and the price was the money for grandmother's surgery.

Later, someone told me that the coin was worth far more than a surgery's money, and that uncle cheated me. I could have changed my fate with that coin.

But in fact, I had already changed my fate, because the good luck I prayed for was for grandmother to get better. Fate favored me, so I was very grateful.

So from then on, I began to believe in fate, until grandmother left, until the game descended, and it has never changed.

And this photo was cut out and restored from the newspaper that headlined 'Lucky Kid' back then."

"So your repayment to fate was choosing 【Order】 at the starting point of the path of fate?"

Cheng Shi almost laughed out loud. In his view, this was clearly a good deed by a good person who didn't want to reveal his name, and it was even highly likely that the person who bought the coin was that uncle.

This method was too crude, so crude that Cheng Shi couldn't complain, but there was one point he couldn't deny: encountering this anonymous kind person was itself a piece of good luck belonging to Li Wufang!

"......" Hearing Cheng Shi's mockery, Li Wufang fell silent. He sighed, his expression extremely complicated. "Although the 'spreading 【Fate】 through 【Order】' I just said is true, I actually did want to choose 【Fate】, but at that starting point of the path of fate, there was no 【Fate】 die for me to choose.

I worship Him, but He didn't give me a chance."

"......" Cheng Shi was stunned. No, it's not quite right. According to his understanding of the starting point of the path of fate, the tokens inside are mostly related to the player's life experience, so why would there be no 【Fate】 die in front of the lucky Li Wufang?

"Then what was in front of you?"

"The code of 【Order】, and the mask of 【Deception】......"

"？？？"

No, what the hell?

The mask of the Fun God?

You kid can even have the mask of the Fun God?

That's right, the Investigator said a lie, and the content of that lie was "I am not very good at lying," so this kid actually lies often?

Damn it, did I run into a high-level peer?

Cheng Shi's gaze condensed, and his gaze toward the Investigator became suspicious.

"Tell a lie and let me hear it!"

Li Wufang was stunned, nodded, and said: "I am not very good at lying."

"......"

It really was a lie!

A liar who can lie, it couldn't be... Zhen Xin?

For a second, Cheng Shi almost exploded, but the next moment, Li Wufang frankly stated the reason why he often lied.

"This is what I said, why 【Order】 is credible. Because when I spread the favor of fate to others, no one believed me, so I could only use some means, using some harmless scams to make them believe in fate.

I do lie often, but I don't profit from any lies. I lie just to make people believe in good luck. This... shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"......"

Not wrong, absolutely not wrong, you are so right, brother.

Cheng Shi felt his scalp tingle. He suddenly felt that this Li Wufang might really be the protagonist of some world.

You blaspheme 【Deception】 like this for the sake of 【Fate】, aren't you afraid the Fun God will have an opinion?

You probably haven't been beaten up in 【Nothingness】, have you?
