Chapter 754 I will definitely win three games against you
The things Mike took out looked like handicrafts that only an apprentice craftsman could make, without any artistic flavor.
The only thing he could show off about his white porcelain cat sculpture was probably its overall outline.
It seems that he has a somewhat aloof expression and attitude.
"Haha, Thor, looking at your expression, I know you are a little disappointed with it, right?" Matt smiled mysteriously, and didn't seem surprised by Thor's performance.
He stretched out his index finger and shook it twice in front of Thor. "This is the first advice given to you by an elder who has been doing business outside for more than ten years: Never be blinded by the superficiality of things."
He placed the white porcelain kitten on the dining table and gently stroked the kitten's head with his hand.
"I'll demonstrate it to you in person now." Mike took out a regular dodecahedron dice. "You know what dice are, right? We can throw them randomly to compare the size. I just touched the cat god and received a brief blessing. In the next three games, I will definitely be able to beat you."
After saying that, Mike extended his hand to Thor, motioning him to go first.
Thor picked up the dice and thought, "Is Mike a con man or a skilled gambler?"
He didn't control his strength and casually threw the dice into the plate Mike had set up.
The number facing up on the dice is 10.
This is already a very large number.
Mike smiled confidently, picked up the dice and threw it casually.
The dice and the plate collided, making a crisp sound.
When the dice came to rest again, the number on top was 11.
Just a little more than Thor's.
Thor said nothing, picked up the dice and threw it a second time.
This time it's 6 o'clock.
And Mike threw it casually.
The dice drew an arc in the air and when it stopped, it was 8.
Mike raised his eyes and looked at Thor. "I have already won two games against you, huh?"
Thor crossed his arms and pointed at the dice on the plate with one hand.
"You go first this time."
Mike raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, as if to say, "I already know what you're thinking."
But he did not refuse, he still picked up the dice and threw it casually.
This time he threw an 11.
A fairly large number, but not the top one.
Thor reached out and took out the dice.
He felt the texture of the dice with his fingers and found no interlayer in the material.
It seems that the other party's dice throwing technique is very sophisticated.
But Thor was not afraid. With his control over his muscles, he could throw as many points as he wanted.
He flicked his middle finger lightly, and the dice flew out, landing on the plate with a "ding" sound and began to spin.
When the rotation was about to stop, the two could already see clearly that there was a 12 on the top of the dice.
However, just as the dice was about to stop, the entire airship suddenly trembled and instantly fell down about half a meter.
"Don't worry, sometimes air currents or flying birds can cause the aircraft to vibrate, but nothing will happen." Mike was very calm, he didn't even look at the dice on the plate.
Saul shifted his gaze from Mike's calm face to the plates on the table.
Because of the vibration just now, the dice on the plate instantly changed from 12 points, which were about to stop, to 9 points! Saul looked at Mike again, and the other party did not move at all from beginning to end.
Finally, he looked at the white porcelain kitten sitting quietly on the table.
"Luck is like this, hard to explain, but it does exist." Mike leaned back and smiled even more proudly, "People used to say that luck favors those who are prepared. But some people prepare their whole lives and never see luck favor them once."
He leaned forward again, resting his elbows on them, fingers interlaced, resting on his chin, "And you have been given a chance today to directly purchase some luck."
"How much?" Thor asked bluntly.
The corner of Mike's mouth, which was blocked by his fingers, curled up.
He could tell from the last time Thor threw the dice that the young man in front of him had some skills.
But the more capable a person is, the more likely he is to fall into another extreme after failing in something he is sure of.
They will inexplicably believe in the opportunity to overcome their own abilities.
Even if the opportunity seems ridiculous.
"Since you are so forthcoming, I won't keep you in suspense. Twenty thousand silver coins, or twenty magic crystals."
Thor raised his eyebrows, "You still collect magic crystals?"
"Of course, we are all people who go to Sky City to make a living. Don't tell me you don't have any magic crystals prepared."
"Yes, I do, but I need to think about it. This amount of money... is too much."
"Of course." Mike nodded first, but then reminded Thor, "But Thor, good luck won't always stay there waiting for you. If you can't make up your mind before the airship reaches Sky City, I can only give up this deal."
After Thor returned to the room, Kate, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but speak: "I think this man is an experienced liar. That white porcelain kitten is ugly and has no magic fluctuations at all, and he actually wanted to cheat you out of twenty magic crystals. If we are really just ordinary people, then twenty magic crystals are basically a lifetime savings."
"But he did beat me three times." Thor thought thoughtfully, "and the last time was an accident that an ordinary person like him couldn't do."
"Lord Thor, I can tell you don't often deal with people like this." Kate licked her cat's paw. "People like Mike, even if they don't encounter the vibration of the airship, will definitely have other ways to interfere with your dice. And did you notice the time limit he gave you to consider? Why before the airship arrives at the port? Because as soon as you complete the transaction, he will leave the airship immediately and you will never find him again! Of course, this is based on the premise that you are just an ordinary person."
"That makes sense." Thor nodded, "So I plan to go over and take a look at the ceramic kitten again tonight."
"Tonight?" Kate blurted out, "How do we go to see it?"
Thor drew a wavy line in the air with his hand and said, "Float over there."
The beard at the corners of Kate's mouth trembled, "...as long as you are happy."
…
That night, Thor lay on his narrow bed and completed an out-of-body experience.
The orange cat sleeping on the chair seemed to sense something. He raised one eyelid, but when he saw Thor was still in bed, he closed it again.
It was still mumbling, "I knew it wouldn't go."
Thor didn't wake Kate up and just floated upwards.
He quickly reached the upper floor, and after passing through several walls, he finally arrived at Mike's room.
During the day today, when the airship was vibrating, he vaguely felt a spiritual force.
But that mental power was very special, it was a mental power fluctuation that he had never seen before.
Fast and weak.
It's like the fluff floating in the willow catkins, making it impossible to tell the difference between it and the wind.
Thor decided to enter an out-of-body state, which allowed him to be more sensitive to spiritual bodies, and go over to check on the white porcelain kitten again.
He believed that in this state, he would be able to sense as long as the white porcelain kitten produced the slightest fluctuation.
However, when Thor passed through the last wall and came to Mike's room, he was silent.
Because Mike... is dead.
He sat in a chair, hunched over, face downward.
Drowned in the washing water in the basin which was less than three centimeters deep.
At his feet, the white porcelain kitten that Mike had carefully kept during the day fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
