"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
She completely guessed Octopus Fog Shadow's thoughts.
"Baby, baby, darling!" Octopus Fog Shadow said regretfully.
Li Qianxia took out the white cropped tank top, which she quite liked.
She has a slim waist, and it looks especially good when her waist is exposed.
The key point is that this little tank top also makes her bust look bigger, like a C cup instead of a B.
“Baby, this is baby, wear it like this, baby!” She even tried to teach Octopus how to wear a tank top.
The bet was lost, of course.
After all, it's a halter top, so it can't make your chest look big.
Having won the bet, the octopus-like mist shadow, who had been regretting it just a moment before, waved its eight tentacles and cried out, "Baby!!"
Anyone could see its ecstasy.
It picked up Li Qianxia's hair, rubbed it against its face with fascination, and then carefully tucked it, along with the [stone], [fingers], and [sling], into its body.
Li Qianxia was disgusted by it.
Although she knew that Octopus Mist Shadow wasn't a pervert who liked beautiful hair, but simply loved treasures, it was still her hair after all.
She returned to the airship and said, "Why do I feel like it's acting? Is it deliberately making it look like it won by a hair's breadth, just to entice its opponent to challenge it again?"
"No doubt about it, it's just acting." Yaochi is a master of acting.
"One for you, one for me, we're betting on treasures. The winner takes all, and those who are willing can come to the island." Octopus Mist Shadow has become an NPC again, just like a Pokémon in a game that's foolishly wandering around in place.
Experiment 3, no, Experiment 4.
Li Qianxia visited the island again.
"Baby, baby!" Octopus Mist Shadow pointed its tentacle.
[Ordinary soil clutched in the hand of the dying cosmic collector]
Experiment: Is it possible to repeatedly go to the island to gamble?
Experimental results: Yes
"Aba aba!" Li Qianxia took out even less soil from her Hengsha World and lost the bet directly.
Li Qianxia returned and said, "Since skills can be used as 'treasures,' then my brother is bound to win. It's you I choose, Li Ergou, use 'Pseudo-Victorious State'!"
It must be said that this game is extremely tempting for those who truly possess treasures.
For example, Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou stood up and walked towards the small island: "'Pseudo-Victorious State' is an unfair victory. If it can force me to that point, I won't want a single treasure from it even if I win."
It is by no means arrogance.
He has been keeping his mindset in check, and he absolutely, positively must not mistake his "false victory mentality" for his true strength.
The "Pseudo-Victorious State" is too overpowered; treating it as one's own strength is extremely detrimental to his development.
The octopus mist shadow came back to life.
"Baby, baby!" Tap the touch.
[The ordinary piece of wood clutched in the hand of the cosmic collector before his death]
"How many times have you died? Oh, you have eight arms." Li Qianxia realized her mistake halfway through her rant.
Li Changzhou had no intention of taking his time. He had no hobby of collecting things, nor did he have time to dawdle and collect things that were of no use.
He pointed with his finger.
[A skill of the Primordial God Body.]
S-level skill: "Emotional Control".
Amidst the gasps and cheers of the octopus-like mist, Li Changzhou pondered: Could "Emotional Control" be paired with "Heaven's Will and Destiny"?
It is said that personality determines destiny; in a sense, personality and emotions can be equated.
"Emotional control" can also become a vehicle for "divine will and destiny".
One octopus tentacle.
A private library belonging to a collector of unparalleled talent.
"Emotional Control" drops as a gashapon toy. Inside the sphere of light in "[A Private Library]" is a potted plant, and inside the potted plant is a morning glory.
"Is this a library?" Li Qianxia found it all rather abstract.
Yang Qinglan became interested. A library that could surpass S-level skills must have a considerable quantity and quality of books.
Li Changzhou also faced the same problem that Li Qianxia had faced before: he couldn't know the exact value of the items.
Given Octopus Fog Shadow's valuation skills and its greedy nature, "a private library" is probably just slightly better than "emotional control."
But no one can say for sure about these things.
Li Changzhou pointed again.
The S-rank skill from the useless old Taoist priest, "Useless Rosary".
The light of "a private library" has faded.
This time, the Octopus Mist Shadow did not cheer, but appeared very cautious, pointing its tentacles in the void.
A rare item belonging to a collector of unparalleled talent.
The "useless rosary" and the "strange object" began to flash simultaneously, like breathing, as if masters were dueling, and after the final move, they would see who could not hold on and would fall down first.
Everyone watched intently.
After a long while, the "useless rosary" went out completely.
[A rare item] wins.
"Phew~" Octopus Mist Shadow wiped her forehead with her tentacles, as if she had been frightened into a cold sweat.
Inside the aura of the "[Strange Item]" was a flute. What could a flute that surpassed an S-rank skill have? All four were extremely curious.
Li Changzhou also fell into deliberation.
[A Rare Item] was evenly matched with the "Useless Rosary" and finally won. It is obviously also an S-rank item. So, compared with the S-rank "Teleportation", which one is more valuable?
If you lose, the bet ends immediately, and even if you can start over, you won't get the S-rank "Teleport" back.
However, if you win, you can win an additional S-rank treasure by relying on the S-rank "teleportation".
Even if the treasures you win are more valuable than "teleportation", their practicality may not be better.
Li Changzhou chose to play it safe.
It's not that I'm afraid to gamble.
"Teleport" has been with him for so long, making great contributions, like an old general, and he has feelings for it.
He also has an S-level skill, "King of Black Mist," obtained from Yaochi, which is definitely not something to be used as a bet.
