Chapter 93: Gambling

  ♂?,,

  Hu Hua Hao took a deep breath, spraying the healing spray he bought from the Nightmare Space onto his chest wound, but his face was cold and smiling:

  "What's the big deal! They were all at their peak back then, but I'm still fearless!"

  Fang Lin sighed, knowing that this uncle would never admit defeat no matter what. He shook his head in dismay, but then saw Hu Hua Hao take out the two dropped keys from the Stormtroopers and toss them over, saying in a rough voice:

  "Take it and test your luck."

  Fang Lin grasped it in one hand and smiled:

  "Do you want me to give some reference opinions when making a choice?"

  Hu Hua stared at him angrily and shouted:

  "Either say it or get out."

  Fang Lin patted his clothes and sat down comfortably beside Old Hu, leaning against the wall with a relaxed expression:

  "That key in your hand must be Sir Lefroy's. What is it, have you taken a fancy to something on his person?"

  Hú Huá Hào's old face turned slightly red as he said:

  "This guy has a pretty good dark gold ring on him, which can automatically release a level-4 brute force spell every 30 minutes, and it's used on all his own people within a radius of 10 meters. (Note: Brute Force Spell Level-4: Within 30 minutes, strength value increases by 6 points, physical strength increases by 2)"

  Fang Lin smiled and said:

  "If it's really going to happen, what's the point of waiting?"

  Hu Hua stared at him and said:

  "Am I supposed to take this as a reference?"

  Fang Lin said with an air of discontent:

  "I'm not giving opinions anymore? Let's go. Life is a gamble anyway, we have enough points and potential now, let's go."

  Hu Hua Hao took a deep breath and was about to summon the treasure chest with the key when Fang Lin suddenly shouted:

  Wait!

  Hu Hua Hao was startled and thought he had a good idea, so he concentrated carefully to listen, fearing that he would miss half a word.

  Fang Lin's mysterious inquiry was:

  "Did you wash your hands before going to the toilet? If not, go and wash them first."

  Hu HuaHao: "......"

  The building shook violently again, Fang Lin's buttocks had an additional large footprint, in the shape of the character "out" flew out of the window, and soon became a small black dot in the sky. The result of this gamble was that Hu Hua Hao ended up with a crushing defeat, not only did he fail to get the ultra-rare ring he wanted, but he didn't even get any equipment, directly hitting the 50% chance of getting nothing!!

  Fang Lin looked over sympathetically and suddenly met Old Hu's fiery gaze, hastily saying:

  "Take this key and try your luck. The chances of getting two consecutive empty slots are very small. Unless..."

  Hu Hua shouted loudly:

  "What if?"

  "Unless it's really... unwashed hands."

  Fang Lin's low muttering was heard again by Old Hu with his keen sense of hearing.

  ... Fifteen minutes later, Fang Lin was rubbing his face with a worried expression, witnessing the treasure chest being summoned again. Hu Hua Hao faced the following options: (1) Obtain 50% of the deceased's remaining potential points and scores before death. (2) Have a 50% chance to obtain one piece of equipment worn by the character before death. Note: Equipment acquisition is random selection. (3) Randomly acquire five items from the character's storage space before death), hesitated, and said uncertainly:

  "Did I really choose it?"

  "Choose."

  "I really chose it!"

  "Choose."

  "Whatever... forget it, I'm coming anyway."

  Fang Lin didn't hesitate and chose the second option again. As he looked at the gradually appearing, golden light-emitting equipment outline, Fang Lin suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and asked in confusion:

  "This thing looks so familiar!"

  Cunning Long Boots: Dark Gold Equipment, Medium Quality, +2 Strength, +3 Agility, +20% Movement Speed. Requires Soul Binding to equip. Requires 33 Strength, 30 Agility, 28 Spirit, Basic Leg Technique Level 10, Basic Step Technique Level 9, C-Rank Skill Gale Step Level 4.

  Equipment skill: Residual Shadow. Within 90 seconds of activation, movement speed increases by 15%. When running, the body creates 7 residual shadows that confuse enemy vision, each shadow can absorb 100 points of damage. Consumes 5 points of spiritual power. Cooldown time, 5 minutes.

  Fang Lin sighed, wasn't this the Dark Gold Shoes he had secretly obtained from Ruan Mingyuan? At that time, he hadn't even appraised it, but used it as the main bargaining chip to exchange for that A-grade skill: Powerful Magic Charm. He didn't expect to return it to its original owner today. He reluctantly glanced at this pair of top-quality shoes with high requirements for the wearer's surname, and threw them over to Hu Hua Hao with a lackluster tone:

  "Take it and wear it."

  Hu Hua Hao was shocked, and as soon as he took a look, his previous slump immediately disappeared. He couldn't help but feel extremely excited, as his current power value was already quite high. However, due to the S-level throwing technique having a passive attribute that reduced movement speed, what he feared most were people like the Angel of the Charging Squad and the deceased Vulture, who possessed long-range attacks and extremely fast movement speeds, and could possibly toy with him until death, like a kite. Now, with this pair of accelerated extreme dark gold shoes, combined with Diken's Brutality ability to increase running speed by 25%, his maximum movement speed boost reached 60%! It can be said that this thoroughly made up for the previous deficiency.

  The two of them sat casually on the ground, shoulder to shoulder, laughing and chatting as if the life-and-death moment before had faded away like wisps of smoke between their fingers. Time quickly passed, and no one dared to come and cause trouble again in this haunted place. However, from high-rise buildings, you could vaguely see that many places in the city were burning with raging flames, which stood out starkly against the dark sky. The ear-piercing sirens of police cars and fire trucks continued unabated. The entire city of Nara had turned into a huge maze of chaos and terror!

  Fang Lin glanced at the time and saw that there were still two hours left before the deadline for the main task. He stood up, called over a guard who was standing by, and said:

  "Please go and ask Deputy General Manager Miyata to come over."

  Because they had successfully resolved the crisis of the incoming attacker, at this time, the upper and lower levels of the Li Gui Society respected Fang Lin even more. The guard retreated with a bow, taking small steps backward. Fang Lin looked at the man's flattering appearance and smiled at Hu Hua Hao, saying in a low voice:

  "These Japanese people really are like fed dogs."

  Hu Hua Hao slightly raised an eyebrow, neither affirming nor denying, his contemptuous expression clearly indicating that he thought Fang Lin was insulting him like a dog. Before long, Miyata hurried over and respectfully bowed his head:

  "What can I do for you?"

  Fang Lin smiled and said:

  "Actually, there's nothing much going on, I just wanted to ask which of the five major powers have a closer relationship with our company and which ones are more distant."

  Miyata suddenly realized and said with a hint of irony:

  "Your Excellency's meaning is that we can take this opportunity to strike at our opponent?"

  "Not an opponent." Fang Lin smiled and said: "But their ally."

  Miyauchi was stunned and muttered in confusion:

  "I don't quite understand your meaning."

  Fang Lin smiled and said:

  "Aren't their subordinates all transferred away? It's just right to call them to go to the city and stir up the water to make it more turbid! Then..."

  Fang Lin cast his gaze towards those two blood-colored armored warriors:

  "They disguise themselves a bit and become the best hunters, able to freely assassinate key figures among our allied forces."

  Miyauchi still wondered:

  "But why assassinate our ally?"

  Fang Lin said patiently:

  "Since the president of Rikiya Corporation has been attacked so fiercely, the other four major conglomerates must be in a similar situation, and it's likely that someone will lose their life. Therefore, after dawn tomorrow, the entire Nara City underworld will definitely present a chaotic scene of great upheaval. At that time, when interests are at stake, today's allies may become tomorrow's enemies!"

  He took a sip of water and looked at Miyata with an air of superiority, while Director Miyata was extremely humble, bowing his head and scraping, looking like a primary school student being scolded by a teacher.

  "The most important thing is to take out the key figures among our allies now, and this account will not be counted on our heads. It's even more convenient to trigger a fire fight among the remaining four major factions. The tiger and lion are fighting, but the final winner is the hunter on the side! Such simple truth, how can Miyata not see through?"

  Fang Lin's last words called out to Miyata's name, already stern and severe, but the latter was hanging his head in shame, his face flushed as he closed his legs together:

  "Ah! You've taught me a lesson! I'll get right on it and make the arrangements. Please take care of President An!"

  Fang Lin nodded and said:

  "Go."

  After Gong Tian left, Hu Hua Hao let out a cold hum and said:

  "What's the point of bothering with these Japanese kids?"

  Fang Lin said lightly:

  "It's also a pleasure to watch them kill each other. Moreover, the high-level executives of this ghost organization are actually controlled by Li Peiji, a Taiwanese person. The rise of this force in Japan is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Furthermore, I have a faint feeling that our next hidden mission to influence the plot may not be so simple after all, and it's likely to have far-reaching consequences. After all, most of the nightmare world we'll experience later will still unfold on Japanese soil."

  Three hours later, the sky was bright, and the streets of Nara, this ancient capital, were filled with burnt-out car wrecks and smashed storefronts. The five major gangs that had been suddenly attacked last night made a frantic response, leading to a riot by civilians mixed with gang members. By this morning, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had already entered the city. Li Peiji, who seemed to be in a closed space, apparently knew everything about the outside world. After being released from prison without losing face, Lin Er and others expressed their gratitude. At this time, the Dream Sign gave a hint:

  "Hidden Quest, (Taiwan) Li Gui Society's request for aid has been completed. Quest Reward: (Taiwan) Li Gui Society Favorability +1500, current favorability is Friendly 1633/3000. You can seek assistance from this organization in the Dream World where (Taiwan) Li Gui Society exists. When favorability reaches Revered or higher, you can also accept quests related to Li Gui Society, purchase special equipment and skill scrolls at a discounted price."

  Fang Lin noticed that after Li Pei-ji successfully exited the realm, the nightmare records involving the Li Gui Society always had the words "(Taiwan)" added to the front. He inquired about this and received the response: This indicates that the society is under the control of Taiwanese people.
