Chapter 733: Chapter 93: When the Dust Settles
Move the scene back to the very beginning of the entire incident.
When Han Zhan received the call for help from Shang Jianyue.
Along with the communicator, there came the introduction about Chen Dubei.
"Lucky Gambler? Luck, it really is a troublesome talent ability."
Compared to other talents, Lucky Talent almost has no obvious weaknesses.
Not to mention gambling games, even during combat, if a little bit of luck is triggered, it can cause a world-shaking impact for the parties involved.
What is the way to defeat Lucky Talent... Han Zhan fell into contemplation after reading the information about Chen Dubei.
In Chen Dubei’s near-perfect "personal resume," except for losing a gamble against a god, he has no record of defeat.
Except God... God...
Han Zhan repeatedly pondered, and suddenly a thought popped into his mind, growing more intense.
"That’s right, God!"
"Lucky Gambler Chen Dubei, he’s not yet a god, just a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse. If there is a way to counter luck, then a god definitely counts as one."
"If a god were to take action against Chen Dubei, could Chen Dubei survive from the god? Or, what are the odds?"
"But why would a god take action against Chen Dubei, and which god would do so?"
Soon, new questions arose.
But with a line of thought, Han Zhan’s process of thinking became much smoother.
First, the creator of Pure Beauty Paradise is a god, the one with the highest authority over Pure Beauty Star, the God of Pure Beauty.
Why would the God of Pure Beauty take action against Chen Dubei? Unless Chen Dubei desecrated the God of Pure Beauty, or Chen Dubei stole something extremely important belonging to the God of Pure Beauty.
Such as—life currency!
From the beginning, Han Zhan was very curious about the "life currency" rules.
And after entering the paradise, as he learned more, his speculation became clearer.
Using lifespan as currency, does it also mean, the God of Pure Beauty very much needs "lifespan," or "life currency."
Moreover, the amount of this life currency will be an incredibly terrifying figure.
Because the daily turnover of the paradise, those collected "taxes," themselves are astronomical numbers.
This also proves the importance the God of Pure Beauty places on life currency.
So, how much life currency is needed to make the God of Pure Beauty feel "hurt," even "angry"?
After discussing with Shang Jianyue, Han Zhan set this value at 100 billion.
billion life currency, even based on the current turnover and tax collection of the entire paradise, it would take at least ten years to gather.
This isn’t about making money, it’s about uprooting the foundation of the God of Pure Beauty!
Once this was confirmed, the problem became clearer:
How to make Chen Dubei win over 100 billion life currency in a short time?
Thus, a complete plan was formed.
According to Shang Jianyue’s profile of Chen Dubei, he is a person with extreme dark humor, seeking novelty and excitement, and likes achievements and self-satisfaction.
Due to the influence of Lucky Talent, his sense of novelty and satisfaction becomes increasingly hard to satisfy.
Shang Jianyue can use his authority [Sandbox Game] to create a sufficiently novel gambling game to attract Chen Dubei to enter, that’s the first step.
Then, Shang Jianyue takes action against Chen Dubei by adjusting values within the game through the Virtual Dao, that’s the second step.
If it fails and Chen Dubei wins, his sense of achievement will be satisfied once.
Then it’s time for Han Zhan and Luo Qiuhong to appear and fight against Chen Dubei, that’s the third step.
If it fails again and Chen Dubei wins again, his pleasure and satisfaction will be enhanced once more.
When the battle ends, as a gambler, he will certainly choose to continue the dice game; at this point, Han Zhan and two others express extreme unwillingness, greatly satisfying Chen Dubei’s dark humor, that’s the fourth step.
While Han Zhan, Luo Qiuhong, and Chen Dubei were engaged in combat, the "spectator" Shang Jianyue, seemingly unable to join the battle due to his status, was actually doing one thing.
He increased the odds of life currency Chen Dubei could win after victory to an exaggerated degree.
When Chen Dubei arrogantly bets, expecting Han Zhan and others to fail once more and show desperate expressions, he will, under the rules’ judgment, obtain an unimaginably large amount of life currency, that’s the fifth and final step!
Though the reserve of life currency at the gambling venue is only a few million, Shang Jianyue uses [Sandbox Game]’s judgment rules to "bind the life currency system department for excess compensation".
Chen Dubei could never dream that his opponent this time never intended to beat him at the gambling table.
Victory or defeat is often decided before the war begins.
The scene returns to the present.
The dice game rule judgment continues.
"Judgment complete, begin excess compensation." As the rule’s voice sounded, Chen Dubei’s assets instantly soared to a terrifying 12.6 billion life currency!
On the other side, the banker Shang Jianyue’s assets were instantly cleared.
Only at this moment did Chen Dubei finally realize what they truly intended.
After a brief shock, he still stubbornly smirked:
"Even so, according to your own game rules, the one whose assets are cleared will die, you will pay with your life..."
Chen Dubei stopped abruptly at this point.
He thought of something, widened his eyes, and looked at Han Zhan standing beside him.
Indeed, Han Zhan!
Shang Jianyue’s assets, which were originally zeroed out, suddenly jumped up from zero to one, that’s, 1 life currency.
life currency, more like a glaring mockery.
Like raising a middle finger, retorting Chen Dubei’s previous numerous taunts.
"You gave him 1 life currency before the rule completed its judgment, and the penalty hadn’t taken effect yet!" Chen Dubei exclaimed angrily.
The smile on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a shameful and angry expression.
"Damn it, damn it! You’re cheating!"
"This isn’t fair! You’re rigging the game, this is not a fair gambling game, it’s not fair!"
"In victory or defeat, Chen Dubei, congratulations on adding another defeat to your resume." Han Zhan did not forget to deal a blow.
Just as he finished speaking,
above the gambling arena, a blazing white light converged, blossoming in the sky, so radiant it was unwatchable.
Simultaneously, in everyone’s ear, a faint and ethereal pleasant female voice was heard:
"Who is so bold to siphon off a massive amount of life currency from the life currency system department?"
At this moment, Chen Dubei wanted to slip away, but found himself completely immobilized under the divine pressure.
His luck ended here.
