In the bathroom of the large suite in Qingchengdao Hot Spring Resort Hotel, the little bald man sat on the toilet lid, watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone.

He "borrowed" an old phone from Xiao Baba's pants, and did not watch the live broadcast with Yun Wangshu and the others. Instead, he hid here and watched it secretly by himself, to prevent those bad guys from watching the live broadcast and suddenly having "a bold idea", which would then make the little bald guy unlucky.

The little bald head snorted. If he didn't have to rely on Yun Wangshu to play around, he would have gone away freely and at ease long ago.

Therefore, although the little bald head was always controlled by Yun Wangshu, and was forced by Yun Wangshu to watch the news broadcast, world news, physics and chemistry together, and even had to "practice every day", "a small test every three days, and a big test every five days", he never had the idea of ​​"running away from home". His only destination was the dragon pillar on the Shenhai City viaduct.

Either go back and be crushed by the overpass forever, or be forced to travel around by Yun Wangshu. After much deliberation, the little bald man decided to endure the humiliation.

Watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and watch his building collapse. Huh!

When I have succeeded in my cultivation, shed the shackles of the earth spirit and gained a mortal body, I will hang up Yun Wangshu and Changsheng, and go to the Immortal Palace to snatch the Goddess of Food to be the cook. Then I will eat meat and drink wine in big bowls. After taking a bite of the delicious food, I will tap Changsheng's forehead, take a sip of the delicious drink, and pat Yun Wangshu's butt. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The little bald guy was fantasizing about a better life in the future, but his eyes were fixed on the screen. He also felt that practicing was very hard, and he certainly couldn't miss such a good opportunity to improve his practice by watching the live broadcast.

When the boss monster with vertical pupils appeared, the toilet light suddenly flashed, and the little bald man hid in the bathtub in fear. He looked at the two huge vertical pupils on the screen, and a chill spread from the depths of his soul to every pore of his body.

He seemed to have returned to more than a thousand years ago, when he had just gained intelligence but was only a spirit without form. He was ignorant of the changes in the world, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and could not even transform into a human form to contact living beings. Even his consciousness was vague.

At that time, he naturally didn't care about this situation, but now the little bald head has seen the vanity of the world, grasped freedom with his own hands, and realized the beauty of "living". He can no longer endure that kind of bodyless, selfless, and ignorant life.

As an earth spirit, the little bald man is not afraid of death. He doesn't even have the concept of life and death. But the only thing he fears is the past when the spiritual energy has not revived. He can't even achieve "self-recognition".

However, as the disaster girl gradually inflicted heavy damage on the vertical-pupil monster, the little bald head's fear gradually dissipated.

The little bald head felt as if a new source of strength was injected into his heart. The blood in his body began to boil. The fear in his heart gradually dissipated. A firm idea emerged in his mind: As long as I become stronger, I will never go back to the past.

This power seemed to be real. The little bald head felt that his body was full of strength, and even his cultivation level improved slightly!

He clenched his fists tightly and felt that he was different.

The blue-haired girl in the cloak said, “When living beings muster up the courage to face fear, they will find that fear is nothing more than this.

Fear is made stronger by the fear of living beings, and weaker by the bravery of living beings.

If you are afraid to move forward, you will inevitably face failure; only by taking a step forward can you seize the slightest chance of victory that courage brings. "

That’s right!

The little bald man jumped out of the bathtub with a determined look in his eyes, and stood on tiptoes to see himself in the bathroom mirror.

If you are afraid to move forward, you will only fail; only by taking the first step bravely can you have a chance of winning!

There is no use in being afraid. Leaving your future to fate will only make you live in fear all day long. You can only move forward with your ideals and make continuous progress bravely. Even if you fall, your posture will be heroic!

When the little bald man opened the toilet door and came out, he saw Yun Wangshu standing in front of him, holding a teacup in his left hand and a mobile phone in his right hand, as if he had just come out to pour tea.

Pan, do you want to be a coward for your whole life, or be a man for five seconds?

The little bald man looked determined and rushed forward

Bang!

The big white-haired man, Baba, and the thin white-haired young man, Changsheng, raised their heads at the same time and looked at the little bald head behind Yun Wangshu with astonishment.

Yun Wangshu didn't even turn his head. He put down his teacup, stretched out two fingers to pinch the little bald man's collar, lifted his head in front of him, and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's quite chewy..."

"I'm asking, are you happy?"

"Have fun." The little bald guy immediately became timid: "I, I won't dare to do it next time..."

"There will be a next time?"

Three seconds later, the little bald head was hung up by invisible spiritual threads, his pants were taken off, and two willow branches with no support were waving in the air and hitting the little bald head's butt violently. The little bald head wailed and shook his body, and the two willow branches moved with him and whipped him.

This willow branch seemed to be strengthened, glowing with red blood, and it hit the little bald head's butt every time, but the butt was fine, while the little bald head would scream in pain.

"Now it's my turn to have some fun." Yun Wangshu, who was sitting in the bathroom drinking tea with his phone in hand, said, "The volume isn't loud enough, so let's switch to 3x speed."

The speed of the two willow branches immediately increased, leaving red afterimages in the air. The little bald head screamed in pain.

However, the little bald man did not beg for mercy, because he saw Ba and Changsheng, who were watching from the side, gave him a thumbs up, and Changsheng even mouthed the words secretly: "You have guts!"

A heroic man will never beg for mercy.

Therefore, the little bald man, whose snot bubbles were blown by the beating, shouted in a trembling voice: "Even if you are loved by everyone, carried by every car, and seen by everyone who can't walk, I will never give in..."

As the blue-haired girl in the cloak finished speaking, all the cards on the wooden table disappeared, and three cards floated in the air, namely:,,.

In the picture, extraordinary people holding guns are fighting against extraordinary creatures such as one-eyed monsters over ten meters tall, behemoths, thunderbirds, trolls, etc.

In the picture, countless sturdy and ferocious fishmen and huge deep-sea monsters invaded the land from the beach, the sky was blocked by fighter planes, and endless artillery fire hit the sea monster front like a rainstorm. But in addition to the coast, many monsters also invaded the city from the sewers...

In the picture, the sun seems to be blocked, and the sky is extremely dark. The light source between heaven and earth is a group of Titan-like humans, who stand on the front line, fighting against deep-sea monsters that are larger than aircraft carriers and crawl out of the dark sea continuously, and they are constantly burning and emitting warm light. In the big cities protected by humans, most areas have been abandoned, and only a small part of them are inhabited. These remaining humans, without exception, are at least three meters tall, and rely on the bonfires burning in the giant wreckage to survive in the dark.

The blue-haired girl in the cloak waved her hand gently, and the three cards turned into powder and were blown into the candle by the wind, making the candle flame even brighter.

The blue-haired girl in the cloak said, “She released the energy of gestation and changed the future called fear.

The girl was blessed with the light of courage, the body of fear, and the seed of destiny.

In the battle scene, countless white light balls suddenly emerged from the abyss ten thousand meters below the sea, gathering on the girl of disaster, making her emit a dazzling but not blinding pure white light.

Ren Suo's eyes lit up. Now the last loophole of the Disaster Girl was filled. Now no matter what Ren Suo drew in the fate card judgment, the Disaster Girl's benefit would be at most 0, but the enemy's benefit would definitely be negative.

Moreover, even if the Disaster Girl dies, Ren Suo can choose to consume 1 Seed of Destiny for 'Normal Resurrection' instead of consuming 2 Seeds of Destiny for 'Blessed Resurrection'. Even if he draws 'Despair' or 'Great Despair', the Disaster Girl will not be affected.

Then the blue-haired girl in the cloak placed two cards face up on the wooden table and said softly:

The beta game "Hand of Fate" has a total of ten chapters, and every two chapters form a road of destiny: the tracing road and the killing level.

Ren Suo has already investigated all this information. There are still 4 chapters left in the game, and naturally there are two paths of destiny.

He glanced at the screen and saw the blue-haired girl in a cloak waiting quietly, waiting for Ren Suo to move the chess piece to one of the cards to start the next road of destiny.

Ren Suo let out a light breath.

He knew that now was the best opportunity to complete the side quest 'Beyond Destiny'.

After Ren Suo obtained 100 points in the clearance evaluation, this message appeared during the task evaluation:

Logically speaking, a perfect 100-point rating should mean that the player has completed the game in the best way possible. In theory, there should be no room for optimization, otherwise it would not be 100 points.

However, after the player reaches 100 points, a puzzling side quest appears.

Ren Suo, who had used his power-ups last night to briefly enter a state of high enlightenment, quickly analyzed the hidden meaning of this side quest:

First, this quest is basically impossible for players to complete in the game. Whether it is the name "Beyond Destiny" or "Guess the fate of the future and kill the source of the disaster in advance", these two sentences imply that players who follow the normal game process will never be able to complete this side quest.

Unlike other games, the degree of freedom in "Hand of Fate" is very low. Players must act according to the cards dealt by the cloaked blue-haired girl. If the cloaked blue-haired girl does not give the information about the boss of the source of chaos, it is impossible for players to know the location of the boss, let alone kill it in advance.

If it were any other game that could be played over again, Ren Suo might have completed it once and then played it again, but this game was synced with reality all the time, so this approach wouldn't work.

Second, this task is basically impossible for players to complete.

If Ren Suo still had a lot of time, could he directly summon a powerful game character to kill the source of the chaos?

Or, if Ren Suo is very strong, can he go over and destroy the source of the chaos himself?

impossible.

Because he couldn't guess the fate that would follow.

As for the first three paths of destiny, although these three paths of destiny correspond to "despair", "violence" and "fear" respectively, which are common negative emotions of human beings, there is no connection between them. There is no possibility of guessing the last two paths of destiny through the first three paths of destiny.

The fate arranged by the blue-haired girl in the cloak must rely on special intelligence or abilities, or even she herself is the fate, so she can arrange the path of fate. How can humans think of the Lord of Despair hidden in the Great Rift Valley of Africa from a certain ornament of a murderer in Europe? How can they think of the pair of eyes of fear bred in the abyss of the sea ten thousand meters below from the white werewolf that appeared in Europe?

The difficulty of this imagination is basically equivalent to a high school student touching the hand of a school beauty, and then even thinking of the name of their future child, such as Kuroko. The boy goes to play basketball and the girl is sent to Academy City to study. The most important thing is that he will believe this fantasy into reality.

After the clever Ren Suo summed up these two points, he immediately came to the conclusion: this task was not meant for players to complete.

It appears on the task settlement interface just for players to see. If players want to complete this task, they must rely on external forces.

Then Ren Suo recorded the external forces he could mobilize: the binder, himself, the countermeasure bureau, and the game character.

Without a doubt, Ren Suo immediately determined that the 'game character' was the external force needed to complete this side quest.

So, which game character is it?

Ren Suo had summoned Irina on the fourth day. Irina did not show any abnormality and loyally followed his instructions, disguising herself as Yunkongdian, one of the ten true disciples of the Supreme Being, and completed a perfect group wipe and restored the destroyed city.

Therefore, not every character in the game can be an external force that can complete the quest "Beyond Destiny", at least Irina is not one of them.

Ren Suo thought and thought, and suddenly remembered.

Before October, there were three games that were updated at the same time, with the version increased by 0.01.

They are "Spirit of the Devouring World", "Jedi Priest" and "Ghost in the Night".

At that time, Ren Suo was still wondering why these three games were updated and whether it hinted at something.

In these three games, Zhao Zili from "Jedi Priest" and the Collector from "Midnight Walker" are both game characters with powerful backgrounds, and the Spirit of the Devouring World is a magical existence that can detect the secrets of the world by itself, so they can all be regarded as game characters who "can peek into fate."

Then, the game "Hand of Fate" allows Ren Suo to use up three holiday promotion opportunities to summon game characters three times, and each game character can only be summoned once in the game.

However, there are three festivals in October: Cold Dew, Frost Descent and Double Ninth Festival, so Ren Suo didn't care about it.

But looking back now, it seems like there are hints everywhere.

Maybe everything is accidental, but Ren Suo has also heard a saying: There is no accident in this world, only the inevitability of wearing makeup and masks.

Ren Suo let out a light breath.

"If this is what the Small World Arcade Game Console is looking forward to..."
