Across the round table was a strange creature with an octopus head. From the neck down, it looked no different from a normal person, at least on the surface.

"Then let's get straight to the point. I am the Siren! The guardian of the ocean's treasures!" The Siren stretched out her arms. "You're smart to choose to participate in my trial instead of just smashing the box. But that doesn't mean you'll definitely pass the trial."

"Listen up, human, my trial is—arm wrestling! Hahaha! What do you think? Didn't expect that, did you?"

Jiang Ran frowned: "What's the point of this meaningless trial? You know exactly what you are. Arm wrestling? How much do you think you are of me?"

The only thing humans can use to defeat these bizarre creatures is their brains. Otherwise, even the weakest of these creatures would be no less powerful than a battle-hardened special forces soldier if they came into the real world!

They are special forces soldiers with guns!

Not to mention that the monster in front of him was a "sea monster," and there was no comparison between the two in terms of power. Even if Jiang Ran used all his strength, he wouldn't be able to move it an inch.

"Human, don't be in such a hurry." The siren smiled sinisterly. "If we could solve this with force, I would have killed you by now. Why don't you listen to my trial rules first?"

"Then I'll repeat myself: my trial is called 'Arm Wrestling'!"

"However, if we were to directly arm wrestle, the outcome would seem quite clear, so before that, we have one more step."

The siren placed her hand on the round table, on which was displayed the number 15!

Jiang Ran followed his example and placed his hand on the round table, where the number 1 appeared!

"As you can see, this is our current strength level, which means I am currently 15 times stronger than you!"

Jiang Ran considered himself to be relatively strong among ordinary people, so compared to that, 15 times was a terrifying concept!

"If we compare our current power levels, you could indeed just leave," the siren chuckled again. "So, out of mercy, I'm giving you a chance to catch up!"

He tossed out two dice engraved with strange patterns!

"From now on, we will play a dice game for ten rounds. Each round, the number you roll will be added to your power value by an equal amount, and so will mine!"

"If you roll a 6 in a round, you can pass on that roll and permanently add one die to your game."

"In addition, at the start of the game, both of us will receive three random skill cards. Using these skill cards at the right time can bring different changes to the game."

“On this ocean, sometimes luck is more important than strength.” The siren narrowed her eyes. “If you are lucky enough, you can take this treasure. If you are not lucky enough, then it means you are not destined for it.”

Let's begin this gamble of luck!

Although both sides have ten chances to roll the dice, the Siren's natural strength value is 14 points higher than Jiang Ran's, which means that he is already naturally ahead of Jiang Ran by several rounds. Even if Jiang Ran's points are one point higher than his every round, he still cannot win.

"If you want to win, you can only hope that 6 o'clock comes quickly."

Only by relying on the difference in the number of dice can it be possible to catch up with the difference in the number of points!

Jiang Ran looked at the three so-called skill cards in his hand. Their impact on the situation was limited. Was winning this trial really just a matter of "luck"?

In the first round, Jiang Ran threw a four, and Siren threw a two!

Therefore, their current strength ratio is 5:17!

That's right, even if the point difference between the two in this round is twice as much, it's still a long way from closing the gap from the beginning.

In the second round, Jiang Ran threw a three, and Siren threw a two!

Even though Jiang Ran suppressed the sea monster for two consecutive rounds, the power ratio was still 8:19.

No, if this continues, even if Jiang Ran keeps winning, he won't be able to widen the score gap, and luck won't always be on his side.

In the third round, Jiang Ran threw a [1], and Siren threw a [5]!

"I will use this skill card to make my points equal to the sum of both sides' points this round!"

Jiang Ran's roll this round is [one], and the Siren's roll is [five], which adds up to [six], giving Jiang Ran an extra die!

Given the huge numerical difference between the two sides, Jiang Ran can only turn the tide by using the difference in the number of dice rolls!

With Jiang Ran using his skill card, the score for this round became 6:5!

"Have you finished? Then it's my turn!" the siren sneered. "I'm going to use my skill card to reverse the points for both sides this round!"

"Oh, right, kid, you can only use one skill card per turn—just consider that a hidden rule!"

In other words, even if Jiang Ran had the same skill card, he couldn't use it now!

The points are reversed, and the Siren's points become a "six"!

"I want to forfeit my points this round in exchange for an extra die!"

The third round has ended, and the current power ratio is 13:19. However, the siren has two dice, so even if she is unlucky, she will get two points in a round. If she is extremely lucky, she may even roll twelve points in a round!

In the fourth round, Jiang Ran threw a three, and Siren threw a two and a four!

"I want to use a skill card! Give me two points this time!"

Before Jiang Ran could even speak, the siren immediately activated her second skill card!

Since his total points this time is six, if Jiang Ran reverses the points, then all the work he did in the previous round will be for nothing. He can take this opportunity to widen the gap between the two sides' values!

Jiang Ran did not choose to use the second skill card immediately in this round.

The power ratio between the two sides has reached 16:27!

In the fifth round, Jiang Ran threw a five, and Siren threw a three and a one!

The power values ​​of the two sides reached 21:31, with the Siren leading Jiang Ran by a full 10 points!

In the sixth round, Jiang Ran threw a 1, and Siren threw two 3s!

"I want to use a skill card to swap points between the two sides!"

Finally, the siren rolled a six. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No matter what the siren's last skill card was, Jiang Ran had no choice but to gamble!

The siren did not react. If he could, he would have liked to react in some way, but unfortunately he couldn't.
