I have a magic dice of destiny

Late night on June 20, 17649 AD.

Except for the dim moonlight tonight, this seems to be a very ordinary day.

On the coast around Blue Taro Country, 10 small cruise ships are moored quietly.

On the cruise ship, a group of shackled apprentices from the otherworld rarely "see the light of day again" and breathe the fresh air under the moonlight.

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

Hundreds of kilograms of steel shackles made rhythmic sounds as the apprentices moved around.

Perhaps because the cruise ship was too close to the coast, the sound of the collision of steel was clearly transmitted to the shore along with the waves.

The coast was dark and seemingly deserted.

Blue Taro Country is an island country. Except for a few excellent ports, most of them are such harsh tidal flats.

So for those who are willing, it is really easy to enter a small country like Blue Taro Country.

······

"Is this the legendary Alcatraz Island?"

"I never thought I could walk out of prison alive!"

On the cruise ship, a pale apprentice looked at the distant coast with great excitement.

He will be free soon.

"There's nothing to be happy about. It's just that I have entered another bigger cage."

"As far as I know, a batch has been sent in every five years for the past 10 years, but none of them have come out alive."

"Don't be happy too early."

Another apprentice tried hard to move his hands and feet, with a sad look on his face.

He really didn't want to enter Alcatraz Island. After all, the crime he committed would only lead to more than ten years in prison, which would not lead to death.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as human rights in this world, and all the rules are decided by the big shots.

Otherwise, how could he be with the murderer in front of him?

"Haha, a weak chicken is a weak chicken."

"If these shackles hadn't bound me, I would have killed you guys long ago."

"Of course I know the inside story of Alcatraz Island very well."

"It's not that no apprentices survived, it's just that those who survived have become players."

"And I will definitely survive."

Keir looked at the nine fellow sufferers around him with disdain. Being with these guys would have lowered his status in vain.

The shackles that bound them were not ordinary steel products, but mixed with a bit of extraordinary metal and engraved with a spell,

The function of the spell is very simple, it just suppresses their spirituality to the level of ordinary people.

Then they become completely ordinary people.

"Okay, you're awesome!"

The apprentices around him were too lazy to argue with Keir. This guy was not in his right mind and they would not understand him.

Similar things also happened on nine other cruise ships. A total of 100 Rishi apprentices were all transported here tonight.

The apprentices thought that the next step was to remove the shackles that bound them and let them swim to the shore on their own.

After all, all the unlucky people in the past were like this.

But today, fate gave them a huge surprise.

······

"Hmph, you are a waste among the apprentices and a disgrace to the world."

"Listen to me!"

"The great Tongtian Empire has issued a reward for whoever can kill the demon and clear the game..."

The jailers responsible for this round of escorting began to read out the orders issued by their superiors.

At first, the apprentices didn't care much, thinking that they were being tricked into committing suicide again.

But when the Tongtian Empire's bounty appeared, all of them were instantly confused.

For three full minutes, there was no sound on all the cruise ships.

Only the drum-like heartbeat showed the excitement in everyone's heart.

No wonder the apprentices had such a big reaction, the pie falling from the sky was really too big.

Not to mention them, even the jailers on the side wanted to jump into the sea and swim to Alcatraz Island with them.

"Click, click."

"Plop, plop."

As the shackles were opened, hundreds of apprentices rushed into the sea and swam desperately toward Alcatraz Island.

It was as if it was not a desperate place of death, but an ideal country filled with their life dreams.

The jailers looked at this scene of scrambling with complicated feelings.

In the past, apprentices in these other worlds were not so "easy to serve".

Once they are freed from the shackles, they will use all means to escape. Even if they die, they don't want to be eaten by the devil.

It's a good thing now, because I am rushing to reincarnate, for fear that I will lose at the starting line of life again.

"Plop, plop."

Suddenly, hundreds of swimmers were fighting for the water, and the scene was spectacular.

······

"Hahaha, I'm really more motivated."

"It looks much better this way. At least I'm very motivated."

On the luxury yacht 10 kilometers away from the ten cruise ships, Milton watched everything happening in the distance with great relief.

Behind him, 10 extraordinary people also witnessed the apprentices' struggle, but their faces were full of disdain.

"Milton, that gentleman issued such an important reward, why didn't you inform us until now?"

"If I had known earlier, why would I have sent these losers in? I would have sent you my best apprentice directly."

Among the 10 people, a blond transcendent spoke very unhappily.

His attitude basically represented everyone present.

It was only after they arrived at the yacht that Milton informed them of the reward from the Tongtian Empire.

Shock, anger, regret, and extremely complex emotions impacted them.

If it weren't for Milton's special status, they would have killed this bastard who deliberately concealed the news.

That is a real viscount. After getting it, all of them can move away directly.

Milton only told them now, it was definitely intentional.

······

"I know everyone wants to serve the Empire, but there needs to be a buffer within the game."

"What I need are players who can pass the level and have potential. I don't intend to turn it into a bloody battlefield."

"There are only so many places in the game, so what if 10,000 apprentices are crammed in at once?"

"It's not like we are going to kill each other, and we are giving the devil an advantage in vain."

As a mature and prudent politician, Milton is very clear that he has only one current task, which is to cultivate players who have passed the game as soon as possible.

But this kind of thing must not be done blindly, it must be done in a rhythm and in moderation.

The players in the current round of the game are the ones most likely to pass the level.

Only if they fail in this round [of trial] will Milton consider the new players born in the next round.

According to Milton's calculations, the probability of passing this round of the game is 50%.

Then the probability of passing the next two rounds will definitely be greatly reduced, because the devil will definitely start to suppress the players.

Only when players adapt to the demon's changes again will the pass rate increase.

What he said at the beginning that he would definitely clear the level within three rounds was just the most ideal result.

But the imperial envoys like to hear it. How can they start crying and mourning before the work has started?

As a qualified politician, Milton has a deep understanding of human nature and knows what leaders want to hear.

For Milton, the most important thing is to maintain stability in the game.

Don't let the outside world affect the performance of players in the game.

The next major reshuffle stage for players is Milton's observation period.

If there are players with outstanding potential, then increase your investment.

And for players who have now become apostles, they naturally need to place heavy bets.

Because the moment the empire's bounty appeared, the apostle players who had reached a compromise with the devil no longer had any room for maneuver.

The interests are so great that the mutual trust between them no longer exists.

······

"Milton, you have a good plan."

"But I don't think the current group of players in the game can pass it."

"These losers rely too much on the power of the game, how can they possibly defeat the devil?"

"The only way is to send enough elite apprentices so that they can be promoted to Transcendents the moment they become players."

"The greatest guarantee of success is the cooperation of 10 players with extraordinary strength."

The 10 extraordinary beings on the yacht all come from major forces in the surrounding world. It is no problem to join forces to create hundreds of elite apprentices.

I have to say that their proposal was very tempting, but the time was not right yet, so Milton regarded it as a backup option.

If you cannot pass this round of the game, the elite mode will naturally be turned on in the next round.

Milton has considered the whole thing and will strive to achieve the highest pass rate in every round.

······

"Everyone, the devil is probably not in a good mood right now. Do you still plan to go in and hunt for treasure?"

Milton only informed these 10 guys about the empire's bounty, but he had no intention of letting them dictate to him.

These 10 extraordinary beings are treasure hunters who have reached a compromise with the devil and are going to the island to search for divine artifacts and immortality cells.

"This, you,..."

Milton's rhetorical question directly confused these ten people.

Indeed, they had reached cooperation with the devil in the past. They gave part of their knowledge and the devil gave them access rights for a certain period of time.

But now the devil has become a sweet potato, and everyone is salivating and wanting to take a bite.

Can the devil still trust them?

Will they still be allowed to enter the Blue Taro Country?

It would be absolute nonsense to say that they did not take the opportunity to kill the devil.

That's a real viscount, who wouldn't be tempted?

But now even if the devil still lets them in, do they dare to go in?

What if the demon suddenly turns against them and uses game mechanics to kill them?

For a moment, they were really in a dilemma.

······

"That's all, we've all been living together peacefully for so many years."

"For the sake of past friendship, I will help you."

"This is a temporary pass I got from the imperial emissary. Although it cannot give you super powers, it can prevent you from triggering the game's defense mechanism."

Ten playing cards suddenly appeared in Milton's hand. They looked very ordinary, but the extraordinary beings opposite him were shocked.

"You, you can actually imitate game cards?"

"Can it really fool the game's defense mechanisms?"

"If they are really useful, why don't the imperial envoys kill the demons themselves?"

Shock, confusion, suspicion, all kinds of emotions flashed in the eyes of the 10 treasure hunters.

The game has been running for so many years, why is the Pass only coming out now?

"Hey, I really mean to help you!"

"After all, this thing is an imitation and can only be used by extraordinary people. The strength of the imperial envoy cannot be concealed at all."

"You don't think that the empire's announcement of a reward is just a whim of the envoy."

"I can tell you clearly that the empire has made a breakthrough in its research on the game and has decided to end it!"

"If not, how could one obtain such temporary gaming qualification?"

Milton explained patiently. His purpose was well known to the ten people in front of him, and it was nothing more than to let them be guinea pigs.

This thing has definitely not been verified yet.

······

"You have to believe in the strength of the empire. Although this thing can only be used for a month, there will definitely be no quality problems."

"And you have already reached an agreement with the devil. This is just an extra layer of insurance for you."

"Speaking of the enemy's prestige, even if you join forces, you may not be noticed by that demon."

"I can tell you a piece of information. There is a professional demon hunter who has died in the game."

"So you really don't have to worry too much, that demon will most likely look down on you."

Although Milton's words were a bit heartbreaking, he really spoke the truth.

If a supernatural being could kill demons, he would have asked the messenger to forge hundreds of cards and enter the game.

Of course, this is also a backup plan.

The purpose of these 10 mice is just to test the messenger's deception methods.

Lord Messenger's next plan is to create real game cards and expand the number of players.

This is the way to pass the level!

······

"Haha, Milton, you are right about one thing. That devil really looks down on us."

"That kind of deep-seated sense of superiority and disdain has been felt in the past few times I've dealt with him."

"Our plan to find the sacred urn has reached a critical stage, and I can no longer retreat."

"I will accept your favor this time and help you be a guinea pig for once."

Led by the red-haired man, five extraordinary beings decisively took over the five cards from Milton's hand.

This risk must be taken, and it is worth taking.

As for the other five people, their goal is immortality cells.

Two of them chose to quit, and the other three, after some hesitation, also took the cards and chose to take risks.

Milton watched all this calmly without any interference. Everything was their own choice.

······

The eight people who made the decision used their own methods to enter the Blue Taro Country under the cover of night.

Different from the previous apprentices who had no abnormality, the moment these eight extraordinary people entered the Blue Taro Kingdom, the king's game fluctuated.

But whether it was the temporary permission granted to them by the devil or the cards they had just fused, they successfully allowed them to pass this layer of defense recognition.

"You two, do you really want to quit?"

Milton and the remaining two extraordinary beings paid attention to every move of the eight people.

Milton was not surprised at all that they were able to enter the country of blue taro.

"The wages of avarice is death."

"Speaking of which, we are also the most unsatisfactory among our respective forces, otherwise we would not be sent to deal with the devil."

"Those eight guys have no way forward and don't have much life left, so they naturally want to give it a try."

"But the two of us still have decades to live, so we won't fight with them."

"In my opinion, if you want to pass the level, it is definitely impossible to rely on such fake cards."

"But we have to decide on the empire's bounty, and we will send the most elite apprentices to join the game."

The two people talked a lot, and the central idea was that they could live for a long time, so it was better to let the apprentices fight bloody battles.

Milton didn't think there was anything wrong with the choice between the two. This is what smart people do.

······

Under the dim moonlight, hundreds of outsiders dispersed and finally integrated into the Blue Taro Country.

Everything happened quietly and without causing any waves.

At this time, Chen Qi, who was busy "taking care of" the Kestrel King, didn't know yet that the little fat sheep he had been waiting for for so long were already online.

Now, he is carefully giving the [Spiritual Eye Technique] to the Kestrel King.

Who makes this guy sleep soundly and refuse to wake up?

Isn't this more convenient than taking anesthesia for transformation?
