Welcome to the game room of luck supremacy

"O'Rourke decided to activate the skill: Charm, then, please have a will confrontation with Luther. I must remind you that Luther, who is used to seeing all kinds of human beings, has a high willpower. This is a very difficult confrontation."

Shen Lin was silent, waiting for KP's explanation.

"First of all, you need to make a charm check to judge whether your charm is successful."

Shen Lin followed suit and threw 1 point.

KP: "........." Gan!

Shen Lin raised his eyebrows: "What's next?"

KP: "Big success, no one can resist your charm."

Shen Lin: "Oh," he comforted, "I will definitely give you a chance to explain the mechanism next time."

KP smiled and said, "Now you can succeed as long as you use Charm on him."

"Wait," Shen Lin interrupted KP, "let me understand what you mean, what do you mean as long as I use it?"

"Literally, you need to put on some poses, um, I mean some more poses."

Shen Lin: "..."

KP: "The charm check result will be kept for you for 5 minutes."

Shen Lin: "I remember that after the game is over, you can complain to KP, right?"

KP: "..."

Shen Rin: "I think 'As a novice guide, you don't fully explain how to use skills, which leads to extremely poor player experience' is enough to be a reason to complain to you. I don't know what punishment will be given? What to do, I'm starting to wonder."

You are the first one who dares to threaten KP like this.

No. 98 coughed stiffly: "Then what, I didn't explain clearly enough."

"so what?"

"But the rules still have to be followed. You just need to put on a little gesture now, just a little."

"Oh," Shen Lin was unmoved, "What is the channel for complaints? Will there be a user experience questionnaire? My composition is good, and a thousand words should be enough."

KP: "..."

"I'm really sorry," KP said compromisingly, "I will give you another bonus dice."

"What are bonus dice?"

"It is a prop that can be held. After using it, the number of checks is reduced by 1D6 (throw a 6-sided dice, and the value from 1-6 is random), which is very practical."

Shen Lin pondered for a while and said, "Deal."

KP took a long breath, straightened his top hat, and regained his demeanor: "Your time is running out, there are 2 minutes left for the result of the charm check."

Shen Lin fell silent, most of his face was blocked by the brim of his hat, and he could only see the beautiful jaw line outlined by the shadow, and the slender fingertips with manicured round and clean fingers rubbed the transparent wine glass, his voice was calm, The voice has the texture of ice and snow: "But I don't want to go back."

Luther's eyes were first attracted by his beautiful fingers, and then he looked at his slender jawline and neck under the light. The blond hair that was pressed under the brim of the hat still had a shiny luster under such dim light, which made people unable to bear it. Live to fantasize about his face hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat.

The clean voice of the young man kept echoing in his ear, like a stringed instrument carefully crafted by a skilled craftsman, just lightly plucking the strings is enough to listen to, he seemed to be possessed, his mind went blank for a moment, until the kerosene lamp above his head suddenly went out, Only then did he wake up in a panic, almost knocking over the wine glass he was wiping.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Luther straightened his wine glass in a panic, and said to Lena who looked over, "I'll refuel right away, don't worry."

The people on the side didn't notice Luther's confusion, but they just muttered to themselves: "There is not enough kerosene recently, I don't know if the strangers brought enough kerosene this time, other things can be short, this kerosene But big problem."

When Luther came back, he glanced at Shen Rin inadvertently, and said with reddened cheeks, "I scared you, and I apologize to you again."

"It's okay," Shen Lin said, "Is the kerosene in the tavern not enough?"

Luther sighed melancholy: "Yes, we reduced some kerosene lamps, but we still can't keep every lamp on until closing time."

"It's too bad to have to rely on these outsiders."

"Yeah," Luther sighed, "but there's no way, you know, all of us have curses in our blood, and we can't leave here."

Can't get out of here?

Shen Lin suppressed his doubts, did not ask directly, but inquired skillfully: "Is there really no way?"

"No," Luther shook his head and said, "We are different from those outsiders. Although they can freely enter and exit the town, we are born to enjoy the gift of the blood of the gods, but they can only let the gods hear it through that kind of ceremony. their voices, to be blessed."

"What kind of ceremony is that?" Shen Lin asked, "My family has never told me about it."

"Most of the townspeople don't know about the ceremony, they just know that every ten years, a few foreigners will come to the town to hold this ceremony in Yueshenwa," Luther completely let go of his guard against Shen Rin, Chatted with Shen Lin unreservedly: "I only heard Benson mention it when he was drinking too much. That ritual can enable foreigners to obtain extraordinary abilities by offering sacrifices to the gods."

"Extraordinary ability?" Shen Lin asked tentatively, "For example?"

"The ability they pray to the gods," Luther said, "people with extraordinary abilities in this world are the descendants of the gods or have obtained enlightenment, like us with stronger bodies and less aging faces than ordinary people, and some People have a body as hard as steel, eyes that can see through the soul, divination and the ability to predict the future, etc.”

"It's amazing."

"These are gifts from the gods," he said reverently, crossing his hands on his chest, leaning forward slightly, "thanks to the gods."

Shen Lin really wanted to ask what kind of gods are worshiped in this town, but once he asked the words, he would reveal his secrets. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then do you know what the specific content of the ceremony is? I'm curious what the outsiders think what ability to acquire."

"To be honest," he said to Shen Rin in a low voice, "I want to know too, but only people in the church know this."

Shen Lin remembered seeing a relatively tall building when he came, which should be the church in the small town. The Benson they mentioned earlier was probably the person in charge of the church.

It seems that I have to find a way to go to the church to have a look.

Afterwards, he chatted with Luther for a few more words, but couldn't find any useful information. Shen Lin said, "Luther, I've thought about it carefully. You're right. I shouldn't run away from home in a fit of anger."

"It's great that you think so! Although the town is very safe, but recently..." He paused, and said, "George Street and Hassanke Street are not very safe, they seem to be launching some kind of riot recently, you be careful."

"Riot? Why?" Shen Lin asked.

"In order to counteract Benson's dictatorship, they also need more supplies."

The supplies were all brought by outsiders. Shen Lin thought for a while, and then asked: "Are there any characteristics of those outsiders? Will it be dangerous if they meet?"

"No," Luther shook his head, "It's invisible to the naked eye. They look a lot like us, but most foreigners are very cunning. Don't be fooled by them."

The cunning and sweet-talking Shen Lin: "..."

He sighed and said, "Benson just learned from those foreigners! I heard that he was a very kind and pious person a long time ago."

Shen Rin: "If you meet head-on, you won't recognize him?"

"Yes," Luther said, "Although our town is not big, we are not familiar with each other. Like you, this is the first time I've seen you." He bent down slightly, curiously wanting to spy on Shen Lin's face under his peaked cap, He only saw a pair of clear blue eyes, like a sunken moon sinking in the sparkling water surface under the moonlight, and he admired sincerely: "You are so beautiful!"

Shen Lin smiled, and responded generously, like a dignified nobleman: "Thank you."

Luther scratched his face embarrassingly: "But in fact, we basically don't meet foreigners. They will live in the church after they come to Yueshen Township, and they hardly go out."

"What happened to the failure ten years ago?"

Luther was taken aback. He didn't want to take the risk of chatting with Shen Lin, but for some reason he felt that he should tell the boy in front of him everything he knew without reservation, and even give his life to him.

Luther let out a deep breath, and said in a low voice with only two voices: "There was one less sacrifice, so the sacrifice failed, and the outsider paid a heavy price, and Yueshen Township didn't keep it safe. The good sacrifices offended the outsiders, and they brought back one-third of the supplies that should have been given to Yueshen Township, which was fatal to Yueshen Township."

Shen Lin needed to digest these clues carefully, he nodded and stood up from the bar: "It's too late, I have to go back."

"Okay, okay," Luther said with regret in his eyes, "be careful on the road."

"The wine is delicious, thank you for chatting with me." Shen Lin bowed to him, and his gestures were all well-bred.

"I'm glad I could help you, goodbye." Luther waved goodbye to Shen Lin behind the counter.

Shen Lin put on his hat and walked out of the noisy crowd. At this moment, Luther suddenly stopped him from behind: "Please wait."

Shen Lin's footsteps stopped, and he frowned nervously. He could feel the eyes of some people around him falling on him.

Luther chased after him and asked shyly, "I, can I know your name?"

Shen Lin: "..."

KP: "Looks like the charm works really well."

Shen Lin made up a name: "Mike."

He looked at Shen Lin with bright eyes: "Good Mike! What a nice name! Good night! Sincerely look forward to meeting you next time!"

Shen Rin: "........."

Until he walked out of the tavern, Shen Lin could still feel the fiery gaze from Luther.

Outside the tavern, the night was dark, the busiest time had passed, and Lysa, the flower seller, was still hawking hard, and the fragrance of lilies wafted in the night wind.

Shen Lin stopped and pressed his forehead.

Playing with the feelings of the innocent bartender boy... He felt that he was a mess.

Next, Shen Lin went to meet Yan Xiuyi.

Yan Xiuyi hid in a dark alley in the back street of the tavern.

He was tall, standing sideways in the mist, his cold brows and eyes were reflected by the light, and he was indescribably indifferent.

But when Shen Lin appeared in his field of vision, the precipitous frost melted instantly, he smiled and waved to Shen Lin.

Shen Lin pursed the corners of her lower lips, always feeling that she should have met Yan Xiuyi somewhere, and his attitude towards him was intimate and indulgent, as if the two had known each other for a long time, even earlier than when they met on the train.

And in that barren, long, forgotten time, he has been protecting himself like this, from the dawn to the end of the world.

However... how is it possible?

During his 17 years, he was either fighting wits with those parents or studying in school. Every minute and every second of his life was walking on the road paved for him by his parents. Good children and good students, until the illusion of family harmony is torn apart.

He is not a good student either.

illusion.

Shen Lin thought to himself expressionlessly, this must be the sequelae of passing Luther just now.

It is impossible for him to know Yan Xiuyi.
