The Fool of the Gods

Cheng Shi knew that he could only do so much now. Even if Cheng Dashi wanted to plot against [Bangrong] in this trial, he wanted to join this game. The only thing he could do was to attract [Bangrong]'s attention, nothing more.

But the question is how to attract [Bangrong]'s attention?

In fact, there is a very simple way, that is to hit my teammates again: to trick Honglin!

If the chosen god of [Bangrong] is deceived into abandoning his oath and becoming a believer of other gods, such as... [Fraud] or [Destiny], will [Bangrong] appear?

Most likely!

But Cheng Shi, who cherishes his life, is afraid that [Bangrong] will "deal with" him afterwards, so he, who has always advocated stability, has to think of another idea.

Since backstabbing doesn't work, then "join"!

When my "tribute" to [Bangrong] is enough to satisfy him, then He will naturally cast His eyes.

So Cheng Shi thought for a moment and started his scam today.

A scam that Hong Lin knew about and had been on guard against.

He took two deep breaths to get rid of the embarrassment just now, and looked at Hong Lin with a serious face and burning eyes. The first sentence was earth-shattering:

"I want to bet big."

Bet?

Hong Lin frowned and was a little puzzled. What does this have to do with the current situation?

The entanglement between Epsika and the mushroom-footed man needs to be resolved by a bet?

What to bet on?

Bet that killing Epsika will not let the mushroom-footed man die?

Or bet that the [Prosperity] god they control can truly awaken Epsika's soul that should have belonged to [Prosperity]?

Hong Lin was slightly stunned. She suddenly remembered what Cheng Shi had said:

There are only two kinds of bets that I can bet on, either there is no way out, or there is a cheater in hand.

It doesn't look like there is no way out at the moment. If the trial fails, the worst that can happen is that he loses some points. So... has this fate weaver found a way to cheat?

Hong Lin suddenly became interested. She raised her eyebrows and asked:

"How big?"

"Bet that [they] will suffer such a big fate!"

"......"

It's funny. This is obviously more like a joke from an ignorant player, but when she heard this, her heart couldn't help but tighten for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Oh no, this fate weaver seems to be serious.

Is this a scam?

What is he trying to cheat?

Or is he trying to encourage me to help him do something?

Even when facing thousands of enemy troops, the druid who never hesitated was actually nervous at this moment.

But then she laughed at her own nervousness.

How can a liar's words be so bewitching!

No wonder he cheated Zhen Yi!

But this also shows that his purpose is not pure. What does this fate weaver want to do! ?

Hong Lin's scrutiny swept over Cheng Shi's body, and then suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, and said with disdain:

"Is this your trick?

Trying to use [them] to disturb my thoughts?

It's just so-so."

Cheng Shi shook his head solemnly, and said with a firm look:

"I'm not lying, I'm inviting you to bet big with me."

"......"

Looking at Cheng Shi's eyes that didn't seem to be fake, Hong Lin's movements suddenly froze, and she suddenly realized that fighting was the least nervous way.

"Why bet so big, what's the benefit of letting them go to this trial?

Or what's the benefit to you?"

Hong Lin seemed to take over Cheng Shi's words calmly, but in fact, Cheng Shi had already seen the doubt in his eyes.

Doubt, very good, as long as there is no resistance and disgust, there will be hope for the next cooperation.

So Cheng Shi smiled and explained:

"It's not good for me, but good for us.

After all, a trial is just a dozen points even if you win. At our level, no one cares about these points..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Shi paused with a strange look on his face, and then continued:

"What we care about is how to go in the future!"

Hearing this, Hong Lin's face finally became serious.

This is very similar to what she just said to Cheng Shi. It seems that the fox is really ready to open up to the tiger, but the strange thing is that she is not opposed to this suspected scam, because she really lacks someone to communicate about the future.

Again, Tao Yi is very suitable, but she is too weak.

Of course, there is no shortage of strong people in the game, but these strong people have their own thoughts, and they can only play games with them, but cannot open up to them.

But Cheng Shi... is not quite the same. From all his performances, he doesn't seem to be a bad person, at least not worse than himself.

MoreThe important thing is that he saved Tao Yi, and Tao Yi still trusts him. You have to know that someone who can let her little fox best friend trust her after being deceived is trustworthy to a certain extent, so Hong Lin decided to let Cheng Shi continue.

But Cheng Shi stopped talking. He whetted my appetite and asked again:

"Bald, you have to tell me first if you dare to gamble, and then I will decide whether to open my heart to you!"

Hong Lin's face changed and he sneered:

"Tsk, Cheng Shi, you didn't even say a word about what the gamble is, what the chips are, and what will happen if you lose the gamble, and you just asked me if I dare to gamble?

What's the difference between this and blind guessing?

Or is this a test, are you testing my courage?"

"Yes, this is both a test and an invitation.

I have to make sure that my partner has the same courage as me to go all in on the gamble, otherwise, when I go all in on the gamble, I'm afraid that my teammates will take away all my chips out of fear.

It's not that I don't have a plan, but the premise is that I have to meet a gambler who is worth telling the plan to... like me!"

Hong Lin was silent.

She had never struggled so much in her heart before. She felt that Cheng Shi was not lying. He wanted to go crazy, and very crazy. But the problem was that she had no idea how crazy this "crazy show" would be.

To be honest, she didn't lack these points, and she didn't have a firm belief. Even if this was her benefactor's game, the win or loss didn't matter to her. All she wanted from beginning to end was one thing, that is, to be worthy of her friendship with Tao Yi, so she would "treat Cheng Shi differently".

But after two days of teamwork, this different treatment from Tao Yi's perspective became a real different treatment.

So she felt that this choice was no longer limited to gambling or not, but also included an invitation to friendship.

The fortune-teller was clearly asking her if she wanted to make a friend, a friend like Tao Yi.

Before meeting Cheng Shi, Hong Lin had always thought that she was a "steady" warrior, but at this moment, she was actually eager to try. The crazy, restless and uneasy genes seemed to shout at her in her body, asking her to agree to the invitation of the fate weaver and agree to join this so-called gambling game that would drag [them] down.

Cheng Shi was a smart man. He could see Hong Lin's entanglement. Although she did not agree to him, not refusing was a response.

So he cast the second weight on this tangled scale.

"Do you believe in fate?"

Hong Lin was stunned, and then said with some shame and anger: "Tao Yi told you?"

"?"

Cheng Shi was confused. What does this have to do with Tao Yi?

Seeing that Cheng Shi's surprise did not seem fake, Hong Lin immediately realized that she had misunderstood, so she frowned, thought for a moment with a complicated look, and nodded gently.

"Believe it!"

"......"

No, sister, you've wasted all the 100,000-word draft I just wrote. Why did you just believe it?

But it's better that you believed it, so I don't have to patch up my lies.

Cheng Shi's eyes flashed with surprise again, but soon he smiled even more brightly.

"Do you think... your luck is good?"

Hong Lin's face froze, and he nodded with an unusually strange expression: "Good!"

"Very good, I believe it too, my gambling luck is also very good, and I am also a fortune teller."

"I know you are a fortune weaver."

"No, you don't know, the fortune teller I'm talking about is the one who knows, the one who predicts, not the one who mends!"

Hong Lin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Destiny is a very magical thing.

Everyone has his own destiny script, and the fate of all beings is intertwined and converged into a more magnificent world script. This is the "destiny script theory" in the eyes of ordinary people.

Of course, these things may be too old-fashioned for you God's Chosen.

Then let me put it another way:

If [Destiny] has already written your name at the end of the world script, it means that no matter how you alter your own script, you can't miss the final chapter of the play written by Him."

Hearing this, Hong Lin's eyes widened suddenly, and she seemed to realize what this "destiny teller" wanted to say.

Cheng Shi saw her pupils shrink suddenly, and continued to say with a smile:

"So, do you understand what I mean?

What I mean is, if you believe in fate and have faith in your own good luck, then even if you break through the sky and face the [Gods] directly, you will be blessed by Him and live until the moment when the world script needs you to appear!

And this is [predestined]!

Destiny is predestined!"

As soon as the voice fell, Hong Lin's mind "buzzed" and exploded....
