Chapter 137 The Only Winner (XI)
The second day of the tournament.
Gredi, who was hosting the draw today, looked much less cheerful than yesterday. Because last night, let alone going to the restaurant for a drink, he could run into one or two tourists just by walking through the corridor on a certain floor.
Gredi knew that these people wanted to establish a relationship with him so that he could get some convenience in terms of the schedule. If only one or two people came, it could be barely considered interesting, but if they came one after another, it would only be annoying.
What's more... Gredi looked at Dong Jin, who was the first to come forward to draw the lot, and once again handed the lottery number symbolizing the bye to Dong Jin.
What's more, he had already seen the most precious and gorgeous gems, and it was a bit uninteresting to look at some inferior products.
"It seems that the goddess of luck is still on my side today."
Dong Jin held the ball number "31" in his hand and said with a smile to the next person who came to draw lots, Lark.
Lark heard these meaningful words and looked at the number "30" in his hand. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't help tightening his fingers and crushed the number directly.
Because there should have been exactly 32 tourists today.
But between last night and this morning, another trialist on the cruise ship died suddenly, resulting in an odd number when drawing lots, and a bye appeared again.
If there was no trick here, Lark would even be willing to admit defeat on the spot! What
disgusted him most was that he drew the number "30", and Plante, who followed closely, drew the number "29".
What Rak hated was not that he had drawn Plante as his opponent, in fact, this was exactly what he wanted.
What he hated was that the number he wanted to draw was "1", but he ended up going from being the first to fight the last one.
If today's competition dragged on until late at night like yesterday, wouldn't Plante have the opportunity to leave early? !
This situation must have been caused by Gredi being fooled by Dongjin, causing a conflict between his desire to be the first to fight Plante and his desire to fight Plante. In the end, his lucky talent had to choose between the two and achieve the latter for him.
What kind of magic potion was Gredi fed? It would be fine if they helped Dong Jin to solve the problem of tourists, but they even wanted to intervene in Plante's affairs!
After two consecutive losses, Lark, who had always been smooth sailing, couldn't help but feel disgusted.
As Lark walked down the high deck with an expressionless face, other trial participants also saw the meaning from these numbers.
Obviously, Dong Jin's bye yesterday was not a coincidence at all, but a necessity.
Just like the order of Lark and Plante's battle today.
"This chief MVP is really charming. From humans to gods and demons, from ordinary NPCs to dungeon BOSSes, no one can escape." Robert, who pulled a chair and sat down, sneered at the scene.
Wiger, who was a few steps away from him, calmly wiped the long sword on his knees when he heard the words, completely ignoring Robert's ridicule.
"I heard that the God of War who chose you also extended an olive branch to him? It seems that he also gave him a long sword?"
If Robert was just chatting casually before, now he is completely trying to stir up trouble. This guy is so bad that he has no intention of hiding it.
As the provoked, Weiger did not pause to wipe the blade, and just said in a hoarse voice: "You have already said that he is very charming, what else is there to say?"
"As long as Dong Jin opens his mouth and promises to choose my God of War and your God of Plunder, even the goddess of luck who chose Lak will directly abandon Lak and stand on his side as he just said."
"Instead of talking nonsense here, why not improve your own strength and think about how you can win."
Weiger usually speaks little, but once he speaks, he is very aggressive.
And what he said is all true.
Anyone with eyes can see that Dong Jin has a 99% chance of winning the FMVP.
If Dong Jin had not previously stated that he would only choose Lei Ming, what they should think about now is not to weaken the connection between Dong Jin and Lei Ming or Kai, but to take all the gods and demons in the highest universe into consideration.
Dong Jin has such charm.
If this kind of charm is based on the charm of Si Beier, it would be fine, but his charm is completely created by his own calm and crazy characteristics, coupled with his aura of victory that is invincible... Who can refuse Dong Jin now?
Hearing this, Robert pulled the corner of his mouth, and then distanced himself from Wei Ge. Of
course, he knew that Dong Jin was not easy to deal with, so he wanted to pick Wei Ge to explore the way first. Since the provocation failed, he and Vig had nothing to say, after all, they were rivals.
Thinking of this, Robert looked at Dong Jin who was still on the upper deck.
At this moment, Dong Jin was smiling and throwing coins in his hand at Lark, as if silently provoking something. After this almost demonstrative move, Lark will not only have to deal with Plante in the future, but also have to guard against Dong Jin's sneak attacks by summoning gods and demons with coins.
So Robert clicked his tongue more and more irritably.
It's nothing to be charming alone, but it's really tricky to be charming and smart, and even have strong fighting power.
Now he just hopes that Lark can be smarter, and it would be best if he can create the illusion that he is evenly matched with Plante in battle. Only if Dong Jin could see with his own eyes the hope of Plante completing the main storyline, would he be willing to spend coins off the field to save Plante.
The fewer coins Dong Jin had, the easier it would be for them to deal with him next time.
At this time, Lark, who was provoked by Dong Jin's coin throwing, also thought so.
At first, he was indeed angry, but as the battles progressed, Lark calmed down and thought of turning the tables and letting Dong Jin spend coins for Plante.
As long as he timed it well, he could eliminate Plante and weaken Dong Jin's strength, which could be regarded as turning a disadvantage into an advantage. And this idea gradually reached its peak after noticing that the previous battles, including the one with Robert, were all deliberately delayed.
Since both Dongjin and those who were against Dongjin were setting up such a stage, Lak, who was always confident in himself, certainly would not be afraid.
In such a tacit understanding, when the last match of the day, the ring match between Lak and Plante, came, it was already late at night.
This time, Dongjin did not continue to watch the game on the deck, but jumped down from a high place and came to the ice beside Plante, as if he was saying something to Plante who was about to play.
His action confirmed to everyone that he intended to intervene in the fight.
Lark, who was also heading to the ice, saw Dong Jin still playing with the coin. Having been provoked for the whole day, he deliberately brushed past him and reminded him with a smile: "Dong Jin, everyone has a limited number of coins, you have to hold them firmly."
"After all, such a small thing may fall on the ice in the blink of an eye and you can never find it again. If you lose the coin while watching the game, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Lark smiled harmlessly and spoke softly, but the implication behind his words was known to everyone who heard it.
Obviously, he was hinting at the end of Dong Jin's attempt to save people but ended up with nothing.
Dong Jin glanced at Lak with a half-smile upon hearing this, then he once again tossed the coin high and turned it over lightly in his palm.
This effortless behavior made Lak even more angry, so that Lak walked past him without looking back. What
Lak didn't know was that Dong Jin was praising him in his heart at this moment - he was praising Lak for his extreme thoughtfulness.
Just now, Dong Jin was still thinking about how to naturally step within three meters of Lak and activate the "Carnival Feast" skill for him, but he didn't expect Lak to take the initiative to come to him, saving him from having to work on this.
How could Dong Jin not seize the opportunity when the other party was so considerate?
He did not intervene at the end of the battle as everyone thought. Instead, the moment he brushed shoulders with Lark, Dong Jin had already started the "Carnival Feast" openly.
Now that he and Kai have changed from a one-sided relationship to a two-way cooperation, why shouldn't he use the skills he has acquired?
Dong Jin knew that Lark was lucky and powerful, so he never thought about affecting Lark's mind in the battle.
The "Carnival Feast" he started only affected Lark's perception of time from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Dong Jin glanced at the huge clock hanging on the outer wall of the cruise ship.
It is 23:03 now.
Lark must have carefully confirmed the time before the battle began. This guy seems to be so confident that he is arrogant, but he is an MVP player after all, and it is difficult for him to be stupid enough to be careless about the details.
In order to induce himself to use the coin to help Plante, Lark is most likely to kill again around 23:39.
But no matter what, he is not sure when Plante will trigger the main line, so he will definitely end the battle before 23:40, and no later than 23:45, so as to avoid the possibility of Plante really leaving the dungeon.
In view of this, the effect created by Dongjin's "Carnival Feast" is that every ten minutes, Lark's time perception is confused by one minute. In this way, when the dungeon time reaches 23:44, Lark will mistakenly think that it has just reached 23:40.
As for whether they can survive the last minute, it depends on their respective abilities.
Plante is not weak.
In such a battle, even if Lark deliberately delayed for a few minutes, he did not have the spare time to count the seconds while fighting. So he could only check the time from time to time through the clock.
In order to prevent Dong Jin from tampering with the clock, the cruise ship was guarded by the trialists from his universe. And because Dong Jin confused Lark's time perception very slightly, Lark did not notice the time problem due to multiple factors.
During the ring match, spectators were forbidden to speak to affect the battle.
So when 23:40 came, although some trialists frowned at Lark's unhurriedness, they still believed that he had his own plans.
Compared to Lak, they were more concerned about Dong Jin who had been holding the coin without moving, even Lak himself.
The situation immediately developed in the direction that Dong Jin wanted to see the most.
When the clock showed 23:44, everyone finally couldn't help but want to remind Lak, and Lak, who felt that it was almost done, no longer played the game of evenly matched opponents. He was ready to end the battle with a fatal blow, and he pulled the bowstring to the full and shot at Plante's heart.
At the same time, daylight suddenly descended around the cruise ship.
In the brilliant white light, the sound of the coin breaking through the air seemed to become clearer.
At such a sensitive time, such a familiar sound of the coin distracted Lak for a moment.
The next second, the coin thrown by Dong Jin was held back again.
However, this time the coin was not thrown up again as usual, but disappeared lightly.
Instead, a golden butterfly flew out from Dong Jin's palm.
