There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

After that, several more people tried to synthesize, but without exception, they all failed.

On the contrary, the surrounding onlookers (those seeking amusement) ate a lot of melon seeds.

Qi Jing noticed that there were actually spectator seats on the second floor, and Grandpa Gou was there drinking wine with a spirited, short-haired old man.

Could that old man be the ['Gambler'] who guards the C-Class Dimensional Gate?

Gou Yigou saw Qi Jing looking up in that direction and said:

"The one drinking with my grandpa is Grandpa Mo Wang, the ['Gambler']. He and my grandpa are from the same village and came to this other world together; they have a life-or-death friendship.

Now my grandpa often asks him to drink. Luckily, they're in good health, or else they'd ruin their bodies at their age sooner or later."

Back then, several people from their village joined the army together, and Gou Dehao and Mo Wang were even assigned to the same squad.

It was their squad that carried guns and rescued Hong Wei, who had been fighting for two days.

Afterward, they also applied to become the first batch of esper experimental subjects and obtained abilities.

Mo Wang awakened the strange but useful ability "Let's Gamble," but Gou Dehao's ability "Bad Luck" was not suitable for combat at all and could only be used to win against Mo Wang in gambling.

Then, during one dice game, they developed their combination skill—"A Little Gamble, Truly Bad Luck."

It's like betting that there are no bullets in my gun. Oops, truly bad luck, you're done for.

Mo Wang uses source power as a stake to bet that he won't succeed, and then Gou Dehao uses his ability to change the probability of this gamble, achieving damage with two otherwise harmless abilities.

The two were happy about this for a long time.

They were already good friends, and now they were even more inseparable.

Therefore, they were jokingly called the Gambling Dog Duo by their comrades.

Later, Mo Wang encountered a life-or-death crisis during a mission and gambled away ten years of his lifespan to advance, overcoming this crisis.

Because of this, he became the third esper to reach Level 5.

Fortunately, he also gambled on physical strength and health; otherwise, he wouldn't look a little younger than Gou Dehao now.

"Grandpa Mo has a son, but he also died in battle later and didn't leave any descendants, so he treats me like his own grandson and is very good to me.

Enough about that, let's add each other as friends."

Gou Yigou took out his phone and added Qi Jing as a friend.

"So you're this 'Jing.' It's quite rare."

Qi Jing said, "Yeah, my dad read something called 'Zhuangzi' and gave me this name. It's not bad."

Crap, I shouldn't have said the word "Dad."

Just as Qi Jing was about to apologize, Gou Yigou interjected:

"My dad's the same. He doesn't know what book he read to give me this name. It's also possible that his comrades helped him choose it.

By the way, do you live in the West District or the East District?"

This question, well, I need to think carefully.

Qi Jing speculated in his mind:

The west gate of Yuan Island Base connects to the east gate of Bixiao City. Coming from the east gate, you have to pass through the command center first. Logically speaking, the command center should be in the very center, so it should be the East District!

"We live in the dormitory," Tan Zuoyin said at this moment.

???

Qi Jing immediately closed his mouth after opening it.

I was just spacing out; I didn't think about anything.

Whistle~

"The housing assigned by the academy is near the Synthesis Hall," Tan Zuoyin pointed in the direction they came from on their electric scooter.

Gou Yigou said, "Oh, you still live in the dormitory. I live directly in Bixiao City."

He opened the map on his phone, handed it to the two of them, and pointed to a building on it, saying:

"This is the Source Stone Processing Plant, located in the northwest of Bixiao City. The surrounding area is full of cultivation rooms.

If you're assigned to the East District, it means the Southwest District has already been allocated.

But it doesn't matter; it's better to buy a cultivation room as soon as possible.

However, cultivation rooms are very expensive. Depending on the concentration of source power, they can be several times more expensive, tens of thousands of points, and the highest can cost 800,000 points!"

Good heavens, that's so expensive?

That's a full 800,000 Armored Crabs!

Qi Jing sighed in his heart:

If I were to just chop Armored Crabs to save up to 800,000, my knife would be worn out.

That's right, I still want to kill a few Armored Crabs to have some fun.

"I'm planning to go to Yuan Island to kill some Armored Crabs today. Do you want to come with us?"

Gou Yigou shook his head upon hearing this: "I won't go. Do you need me to give you a ride?"

He took out a car key and shook it.

"No need, no need. We can go by ourselves," Qi Jing waved his hand.

Gou Yigou didn't insist:

"Okay, be careful. Although there are teachers responsible for protecting your safety, they won't intervene in injuries like broken arms or legs."

Qi Jing said, "It's okay, I'm very strong. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye~"

He doesn't know the synthesis materials and the audience here, and there's no point in staying here, so it's better to go kill two crabs early and go back to take a bath sooner.

He can't wait!

Tan Zuoyin asked, "Are we going back on the electric scooter?"

Qi Jing thought for a moment and said with a smile, "How about I carry you and use Lightness Skill to travel?"

When Tan Zuoyin thought of that strong push, she instinctively wanted to refuse.

But she also thought that when exploring other worlds in the future, there would eventually be emergencies where she would be carried on the highway, so it's better to overcome her fears and difficulties sooner.

"Okay! I'm not afraid!"

Qi Jing just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect Zaoyin to really agree.

"Okay, I'll go slower."

Qi Jing picked up Tan Zuoyin in a princess carry, and she also tightly clasped Qi Jing's neck.

"We're about to set off!"

"Okay~ Ahhhhh~"

If I shout it out loud, I won't be afraid!

After arriving, Tan Zuoyin's face was pale, and she said dizzily:

"Next time, shout, three, two, one, then go. My, courage, is about, to be, scared, out, of me."

She couldn't say a complete sentence anymore.

Qi Jing quickly took out a Dry Leaf Spirit from his space and used it on her.

Looking at the green light, Qi Jing felt particularly at ease.

She won't blame me, will she? It seems like it was indeed a bit fast this time. She won't settle the score with me later, will she?

That must not be the case. The Dry Leaf Spirit should be very effective. She should be fine after it heals her.

Qi Jing frantically convinced himself in his heart.

He was completely like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to punish him.

Tan Zuoyin let out a sigh of relief under the treatment of the Dry Leaf Spirit.

"I feel better. Fang Sheng, next time you must shout three, two, one, or else I'll hit you on the head with my little fist."

Unexpectedly, there was only a harmless threat.

Qi Jing also let out a sigh of relief:

"Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely shout next time. How are you feeling now?"

Tan Zuoyin replied, "I'm fine now, but getting used to the high speed is really quite fun, it's just that the acceleration and deceleration were too fast."

"I'll definitely pay attention next time."

His attitude of admitting his mistake must be sincere.

They rested for a while, then entered Yuan Island Beach from the side door.

What they didn't expect was that the corpses of Armored Crabs in front of them had already piled up into a small mountain, and only a few scattered people were cleaning up the remaining, small number of Armored Crabs.

"We're late."

"Look, what is that?"

A vehicle like an excavator appeared in their field of vision.

Its shovel was sealed by a mirror, and whenever it pushed past the corpses of Armored Crabs, those corpses would disappear.

"Isn't that a portal? So it can move!"

As a high-level portal, shouldn't it be fixed? Why can it be picked up!

Qi Jing really didn't expect it.
