The experience summary classroom of Moldy Mushroom was quickly closed due to an unexpected incident. After all, compared with absorbing survival experience, one's own life is more important.
Everyone quickly went to their own rooms, and the female adventurers who had wanted to listen to experiences and take a bath also gave up this extremely longing thought in their hearts.
Even if you use your brain to think, you will know that taking a bath or soaking in a bath is definitely a high-risk behavior. Not to mention whether the water used for bathing or soaking in a bath will suddenly turn red, even if there is no problem with the water, the lights suddenly go out while taking a bath, you accidentally step on the soap and hit the wall, or your feet suddenly slip and you drown in the hot spring pool. These are all very possible things.
So why take a shower? Just go back home, wash your face, brush your teeth, and go to sleep. If you are a little less particular, you can just take off your coat and lie down on the bed to sleep. No one will say anything at this critical moment.
Anyway, just like what the unlucky guy said before, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make. So, let's try to reduce unnecessary behaviors or actions in this city.
Seeing that everyone had gone back, Wu Xiangwang showed a somewhat conflicted expression on his face.
He was actually struggling with whether or not to take a shower.
It goes without saying that something bad will happen whether you take a shower or a bath, but for a guy like him who has very high demands on himself, he will feel uncomfortable all over if he doesn't take a shower for a day.
Besides, he really wanted to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.
Therefore, Wu Xiangwang turned his expectant eyes to his friends.
"By the way...would you like to take a bath with me?"
Wu Xingyun immediately looked at his brother Wangwang with a look of great admiration.
Brother is brother, and fate can’t stop him!
However, he should just be a mushroom honestly.
"Hey, Brother Wangwang, I decided to just go to bed. I'll just go back and wash my face and feet."
Although there may be some accidents when washing your face and feet, no matter how you think about it, such dangers are not fatal.
Shang Chong looked at Wu Xiangwang with a look that said, "You're really good, you're really looking for death." "Even though we're close friends and teammates, and can even occasionally act like father and son, we don't have to do everything together. If you want to look for death, go ahead and do it. I won't accompany you!"
Wang Xiao also shook his head: "Here, I suggest you don't take a bath or shower. You don't need to shower every day in winter. A simple wash will be enough."
"Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore."
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Okay, I know you all don't agree with me going to the hot spring.
Well...Is it okay if I don't soak in it but just go and take a look?
Let's see if the hot spring environment is dangerous. Although I don't want to accept it, if it is dangerous, I will just take a look.
"Although we should remain vigilant, we shouldn't be too fearful."
His teammates all looked at him with eyes that suggested you knew something was wrong.
Wu Xiangwang finally sighed and went to take a look at the hot spring behind the hotel.
There are three hot spring pools in the back, with the men's and women's pools on the left and right, and the largest one in the middle for mixed bathing. However, that pool is also the deepest and largest.
Not to mention the mixed bathing area in the middle, the men's pool on the left alone is ten meters wide and one and a half meters deep.
The hot spring pool was still bubbling, and the spring water was milky white and clear, looking like it would be great to soak in.
But after reading it, Wu Xiangwang completely gave up the idea of taking a hot spring bath. At least he would not come until he broke the shackles of fate.
The water is deep and hot, so any accident could kill you.
So Wu Xiangwang turned around and left after reading it, and then he suddenly heard a somewhat gloomy but familiar voice.
"Boy, don't you want to soak in such a nice hot spring?"
This is the strange sound of the snail in the hotel.
Wu Xiangwang shook his head without looking back: "I'm not ready yet. I'll come when I'm ready."
"Haha, I know what you're worried about. This city is indeed not very stable. You never know when fate's judgment will come, but if you're willing to make a deal with me, I can make fate favor you more and allow you to finally survive this city safely."
Wu Xiangwang stopped and finally turned around.
He locked eyes with the snail, which looked even more sinister and eerie in the hot spring steam, and smiled. "What do you want me to trade with you?"
"It's very simple. All you need to do is trade a little bit of memory or wisdom."
"A smart person like you obviously has no shortage of wisdom. Of course, if you... don't want to exchange wisdom, then exchanging some insignificant memories is fine."
"We in the City of Destiny are the easiest to talk to, and we are also fair and just. We will never cheat anyone."
When Wu Xiangwang heard that the weird people in this hotel actually wanted his memory and wisdom, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of "How dare you ask for that" on his face.
"Can I ask if I make a deal with you and lose my intelligence or memory, will my brain and memory be restored later?"
"Also, if I make a deal with you once, can you guarantee my safety in the City of Destiny from now on?"
The snail blinked slowly and strangely: "We won't cheat others, but we won't let others cheat us either."
"Of course transactions must be based on the principle of fairness."
"Since you have already handed over your memories or wisdom, of course there will be no more."
"Also, whether you can stay safe in the City of Destiny depends on whether the memories and wisdom you traded are of such high value."
As the snail boss spoke, as if he had thought of something, his large eyes rolled up, revealing a look of deep disdain: "The human who was willing to trade with me before you was completely clueless. The wisdom he showed in his trade makes me wonder if he's mentally retarded."
"His wisdom wasn't worth the protection that fate offered him. Fortunately, his memory still had some value, and he finally left the City of Destiny safely."
Although he had lost his memory, he didn't even know what to do after leaving the city.
But he got out of the city safely, didn't he?
"But you're different!" The tentacles on the snail boss's head moved slowly. "You look like a very intelligent person! And your memory must be very colorful too!
So you only need to contribute a little bit of wisdom to leave this city safely, and you can comfortably bathe, eat, sleep and complete tasks. Isn't this a win-win situation between you and me?"
I have to admire this snail boss. He must have embezzled a lot of memory and wisdom, right? He even uses the phrase "win-win cooperation".
but……
"Boss, I'm pretty smart, right?"
The snail boss nodded expectantly.
After his observation, he felt that the people in this boy's team were quite intelligent and should have rich memories.
Moreover, I feel that the unlucky guy, the bald guy, and the guy sweeping around with a long-haired broom should all have very special memories.
Wu Xiangwang curled his lips and said, "So, since I'm so smart, why do you think I'd be stupid enough to exchange memories and brains with you?"
Weird Snail Boss: "..."
"It's not like my brain was caught in a door! It's not like my brain was soaked in water! It wasn't even eaten by a zombie. It's still here. How could I possibly agree to a deal with you?"
"You also said that the human you traded with before didn't seem very smart. Isn't that normal? Who would be willing to trade with you?"
So, although this weirdo absorbed a lot of wisdom and may have eaten a lot of brains, it probably didn't digest other people's things well.
Snail Boss: “…”
The snail boss blinked slowly: "I feel like you are... mocking me?"
Wu Xiangwang's mouth curled up: "How could that be! You're overthinking it. I'm just stating a fact."
"Oh, it's getting late. I have to go back. I need to get a good night's sleep tonight."
Wu Xiangwang turned around and was about to leave, then he heard the snail boss's sinister voice.
"Heh. Since I opened the inn, I've traded with at least eight thousand human adventurers. Do you think they're all brainless?"
Wu Xiangwang paused slightly.
"There are many intelligent people among those humans. And there are also many who disdain my dealings, just like you."
"But guess what happened to them in the end?"
Wu Xiangwang frowned.
"They all came to me after receiving the beatings from Fate Hela."
"Hehehehehehehehehe... I'm waiting for the day when you come to ask me for a trade."
"There's a saying among you humans that I really like."
The weird snail boss slowly said, "If you ignore me today, I will make you unattainable tomorrow."
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning."
Don’t forget each other: “…………”
Before entering the house, Wu Xiangwang said to the strange snail owner with particular sincerity, "Some memories and brains may appear good, but in reality, they may be corrupted or eroded. Be careful before choosing a trading partner."
This weird boss had obviously absorbed some messy and weird memories and brains, and even his speech was not right.
Although Wu Xiangwang firmly rejected the transaction request from the weird snail boss, he still cared about this matter in his heart.
Obviously, beneath the surface of "unpredictable fate", the City of Destiny has unknown secrets.
Those who have not come to the City of Destiny cannot access those secrets.
Lying in bed, he couldn't help but think, if every innkeeper could trade with the humans staying in the inn, then how many human adventurers would have traded their memories and wisdom in order to safely pass through the City of Destiny?
And what kind of ending will those who traded their memories and wisdom face?
If a brilliant person loses his brilliant mind, can he still solve the growing problems? And without his memory, then... is that person still himself? Will he forget that he is not from this world at all, and forget his goal of returning home?
The more Wu Xiangwang thought about it, the more he felt that this deal was extremely sinister. What it took away could be said to be the most important reliance of these adventurers who were breaking through the level to move forward.
Without memory and wisdom, how incredible luck would one have to have to reach the tenth city?
This method of invisibly destroying human adventurers is truly terrifying when you think about it.
But where did the memories and wisdom of those traded humans end up? He didn't believe this was just a few strange actions; he was more convinced that this was a trap and conspiracy set long ago by a greater being, waiting for humans to fall into it in the City of Destiny.
So, could this weird person who set the trap be the master of the fate of this city?
If so, then this city is in a really bad state.
"...I'm not afraid of weird people being big, I'm just afraid of weird people being cultured."
I hope the brains eaten by the big monster that ate so many brains and memories have expired.
Wu Xiangwang made this wish devoutly before closing his eyes.
Then, he began to think about how to knock off the black and white chains representing fate that bound his fierce brothers in his mind.
He had long said that he absolutely did not believe in fate.
If he believed in fate and accepted his fate, he wouldn't be who he is today.
And when he saw the black and white chain in his mind that restricted his abilities, Wu Xiangwang became even more certain that this city of destiny was just killing people under the guise of fate.
How could true destiny reveal itself and let you see it?
It is a pair of invisible big hands that will turn your life around without you noticing.
The so-called "fate" before them is nothing more than a force that is much stronger than them.
Because that power is so huge and can decide their life and death at will, it looks like... fate.
boom--
Wu Xiangwang gathered the remaining energy in his body and rushed towards the black and white chain!
The moment that force hit the black and white chains, he felt extreme pain spreading throughout his body from his sea of consciousness!
It felt like a sharp sword piercing through your brain, painful and cold.
"grass!"
Wu Xiangwang wiped the blood that flowed from the corner of his eyes and trembled all over for a long time.
But after a moment, he opened his eyes in the darkness with a sneer. Although it hurt a little, what did it matter?
This is fighting against "fate"!
Is there ever a time when fighting against fate that is not painful and difficult?!
The more painful it is, the more correct his judgment is!
He started to fight against "fate"!
boom!
Gathering his strength once again, Wu Xiangwang attacked the black and white chains again.
But the chain didn't move at all, and the pain became more and more intense, as if mocking his overestimation of his own abilities.
Don’t forget each other: “…Heh.”
Okay, a head-on confrontation is a bit life-threatening, so let’s try another approach.
When he gathered the weak energy for the third time, Wu Xiangwang did not use the energy to hit the black and white chains, but directly injected it into the pile of gray and white photos of fierce creatures below.
Then, a photo of a fierce animal rose up tremblingly.
Obviously, this photo of the beast did not get enough energy to be activated, but it still flew up bravely.
Then, due to the change in energy, the photo turned into a tiny entity and pounced on the black and white chain.
The chains of fate shook, and the punishment of fate was released to kill the little bug.
But the little bug just lay on the black and white chain motionless, gnawing at the chain of fate bit by bit.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He was not able to clearly see what the beast looked like, but he knew that the beast had extremely strong survival ability and only needed a little energy to survive.
He hadn't been able to fully activate the abilities of this new beast, as the energy he could provide was too little. But he could sense that if he gave this new beast enough time, it would be able to bite through the chains of fate!
He is a super-powerful guy who is not afraid of the fickleness of fate and can shine with just a little energy!
