Chapter 110: Chapter 100 Item: Gamblers’ Dice [Chapter 100, asking for monthly votes!]
“Hmph, I’ll let it slide this time, but if I catch you again, it won’t be as simple as ten yuan, it’ll be at least ten times that,” the cafeteria lady snorted as she turned away from the slender Abnormality and walked back.
The Abnormality stood up, dusted himself off, and then looked at Liu Hao, opening his mouth as if to say, our bet is settled.
Having said that, the Abnormality turned and left the cafeteria.
On the other hand, Liu Hao’s face instantly changed.
He didn’t have time to think further and immediately stepped forward, saying to the cafeteria lady, “Auntie, that guy just stole something from the cafeteria, I’ll catch him right now.”
As he spoke, Liu Hao pulled out his stun gun and chased after the Abnormality outside.
...
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Which eye of yours saw him stealing from the cafeteria?”
“Also, you’re calling me ‘Auntie’? Am I that old?” The cafeteria lady shot a cold glance at Liu Hao.
A momentum characteristic of a third-level Evil Ghost emanated from her, making Liu Hao shake with fear.
The little cafeteria lady turned out to be a third-level Evil Ghost.
“No, no, sister, it’s my fault, my fault,” Liu Hao quickly corrected himself.
“Hmph,” the cafeteria lady snorted coldly and left the place.
Liu Hao then wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat back down.
“Damn, the plan failed; it looks like I have to find another target,” Liu Hao’s expression turned ugly.
“I think your plan will be even harder to carry out now; I bet this will spread through the whole pig farm soon,” Luo Jing pointed at the whispering Abnormalities as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hao’s face looked even worse.
“Mr. Mu, your food is ready,” the cafeteria lady came over with a tray.
She placed the dishes in front of Mu Rufeng one by one.
The cafeteria lady now wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze, a stark contrast to the hideous face she had shown earlier.
“Thank you,” Mu Rufeng thanked her.
“Mr. Mu, you’re too kind. Enjoy your meal, I’ll be off to handle other things,” the cafeteria lady said her goodbye and headed to the counter.
Mu Rufeng did not order food for the others, after all, he wasn’t their dad.
“Liu Hao, I have a way for you to complete the instance mission today, maybe even before the lunch break is over,” Mu Rufeng said slowly after taking a bite of his rice.
“What? You have a way for me to complete the instance mission? What is it?” Liu Hao, visibly shocked, quickly asked.
Mu Rufeng did not answer but continued to eat his meal slowly.
Seeing this, Liu Hao immediately realized that Mu Rufeng was asking him to show his cards.
They were already adults, not kids playing house; expecting unconditional help from someone is impossible.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Hao slowly said, “I’ll trade an item for this information.”
“An item? What kind of item?” Mu Rufeng looked up at Liu Hao.
Liu Hao did not speak; suddenly, a die appeared in the palm of his hand.
Liu Hao placed the die in front of Mu Rufeng.
“A die?” Mu Rufeng picked it up curiously.
[Gambler’s Dice]: This is a veteran gambler’s die; its original owner used it and almost always lost. Unfortunately, after a disastrous loss, the owner of the die lost his hands.
Effect: After rolling, if the number is 2, it adds 2 Luck Value, if 3, then it adds 3 Luck Value, and so forth up to 6, which adds 6 Luck Value. If the number is 1, it reduces 6 Luck Value. The effect lasts until 12 am the next night.
Note: Normal people have a Luck Value of 5. Can only be rolled once per day.
“Increasing Luck Value?” Mu Rufeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“You’re actually willing to trade this item?” Mu Rufeng suddenly became cautious.
This Gambler’s Dice wasn’t bad; in fact, it was quite good.
It was precisely because the item was good that Mu Rufeng didn’t believe Liu Hao would trade it just to complete an instance.
After all, it was only noon on the second day, and Liu Hao still had plenty of time to try his earlier plan.

Even if the news spread, as long as he offered enough stakes, those Abnormalities would still come running to gamble with him.
“Actually, I didn’t want to trade it, but I have no choice,” Liu Hao sighed.
“Wait…could it be…you used the dice today and rolled a one?” Mu Rufeng suddenly thought of this possibility and quickly spoke up.
“Hehe, you guessed right, I rolled a one today, and my Luck Value decreased by six,”
“I think, because of that, the Security Ghost was killed by you, the clues were cut off, and also that Abnormality just now…” Liu Hao said with a bitter smile.
“But that’s not right; if your Luck Value decreased by six points, that would be negative, so how did you win when you gambled with that Abnormality?” Mei Xizi asked in confusion.
“That’s a good point,” Tang Hao agreed.
“Sorry, that has to do with my ability, which I won’t elaborate on. I just want to finish this instance quickly,” Liu Hao said.
“Is that so?” Mu Rufeng, with his head lowered, fell into deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head and spoke, “Fine, I’ll take your dice. If you want to clear the level, it’s simple. Go find the night-shift Butcher next door to old Zhang’s room and ask him if anything has gone missing.”
“The missing item is right next door, oh, and of course, not in old Zhang’s room but another adjacent one,” Mu Rufeng explained.
“Is it really that simple?” Liu Hao found it hard to believe.
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I’ve already taken your item,” Mu Rufeng said, unhesitatingly taking the dice.
“Okay!” Seeing that his item had been taken away, Liu Hao didn’t say much more and immediately stood up, heading towards the exit of the cafeteria.
“Let’s go check it out too,” Tang Hao immediately got up.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jing and Mei Xizi also stood up, though before leaving, they glanced at Mu Rufeng.
“You guys go first, I’ll join you in a bit,” Mu Rufeng pointed to his nearly untouched meal.
The group nodded and quickly left.
Mu Rufeng then hastened his eating.
Minutes later, having wolfed down his meal, he promptly headed towards the residential area.
When Mu Rufeng arrived, he saw Liu Hao arguing with an Abnormality at its doorstep.
To call it an argument was a stretch; it was more like the Abnormality reproaching Liu Hao.
“You say my stuff is missing just like that? Who do you think you are? A mere bug, daring to disturb my sleep. Do you have a death wish?”
“Get lost, scram already,” the Abnormality scolded Liu Hao impatiently.
“Sir, really, you should check, you really lost something. This morning during my rounds, I saw an employee sneaking around your door,” Liu Hao hurriedly explained.
“As soon as he saw me, he immediately ran back to his own room,” Liu Hao added.
“Okay, then tell me, what did I lose?” the Abnormality asked.
“I didn’t see clearly,” Liu Hao admitted.
The Abnormality scoffed, about to speak, when Mu Rufeng suddenly interjected, “One hundred yuan, why don’t you check if your stuff is missing.”
Without any fuss, Mu Rufeng pulled out one hundred soul coins.
The Abnormality’s mocking face turned cold, and then he sneered.
Snatching the hundred yuan banknote, he said, “Fine, you fools have more money than sense. If it’s for the money, I’ll indulge you in playing cops and robbers.”
With that, the Abnormality returned to his room, leaving the door open, and began searching inside.
There was no issue with most places, but when the Abnormality opened his own drawer, his expression slightly changed.
Then, his face suddenly darkened.
“You said you saw an employee sneaking around, is it the guy from the room next to mine?” the Abnormality pointed to the room on his right and said with a grave voice.
On his left, was old Zhang’s room.
Hearing this, Liu Hao glanced at Mu Rufeng, then nodded repeatedly.
“Good, I hope what you said is true, otherwise, I will make your death very miserable,” the Abnormality said, then headed directly to the room next door.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
“Open the door, hurry up and open it,” the Abnormality shouted as he knocked on the door.
“Who is it? Disturbing me in my sleep—do you have a death wish?” an infuriated voice roared from inside the room.
Soon, the door opened and a burly Abnormality walked out.
“What the hell do you want by knocking on my door?” the burly Abnormality glanced at the few people outside, then glowered at the Abnormality, full of anger.
“My Pig Slaughter Blade is missing, did you take it?” the Abnormality slowly said.
“Huh? Your Pig Slaughter Blade is missing? And you’re accusing me? Wait, you don’t think I stole it?” the burly Abnormality said in rapid succession.
“I know, you’ve always wanted my Pig Slaughter Blade, thinking it’s much better than yours. But you shouldn’t have stolen mine,” the Abnormality said coldly.
“What a joke, you say steal and it’s stolen? What’s your evidence?” the burly Abnormality scoffed.
“Security saw you sneaking around my door, if not you then who?” the Abnormality retorted.
“Hmph, I was just passing by. How does that become sneaking?” the burly Abnormality stared at Liu Hao and snorted coldly.
“Enough with the arguing, whether you stole or not, a search will reveal the truth,” Liu Hao spoke up, completely undaunted.
“Heh, you say search as if you have the authority? Who do you think you are?” the burly Abnormality didn’t regard Liu Hao seriously.
“It seems, indeed, it’s in your room,” the Abnormality slowly declared.
“Alright, let’s make a bet, if his Pig Slaughter Blade isn’t in your room, I’ll pay you five hundred soul coins. If it is, then you’d better come quietly with me to the factory manager.”
Liu Hao activated his ability without hesitation.
“Alright,” the burly Abnormality agreed without any hesitation.
Although this involved Liu Hao’s ability, the main reason was that the burly Abnormality knew he hadn’t stolen anything, so he agreed without any hesitations.
