Chapter 122 The Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Each Displaying Their Unique Abilities
—Communication cards, double cards!
My fortunes lie in the side that I turn a blind eye to, revealing the cards of destiny.
[Communication Card: Allows you to communicate with one chess piece using fifty words, unlimited times.]
[Double Card: Allows you to roll two dice simultaneously. The action points gained can only be used by one piece.]
A very useful skill. My luck quickly devised various plans in my mind. I don't know if the deck is full of cards of this level or if I just drew something good.
There was a constant, subtle pressure on her shoulders; Xiao Cai was with her.
There was only enough time to communicate the most basic means of communication. Fortunately, each piece was numbered, and I only needed to tap it a certain number of times to know which piece they wanted to send out.
She pretended to examine her cards, but actually let the chameleon see the words on them.
The system also installed a translation system for them, so they can not only understand what their owners say, but also read text.
The three from Qidian seemed to be deep in thought. Ever since they stepped onto the chessboard, they had discovered that they could no longer send messages, although their soul links with their pets were still working.
The game is fast-paced; a round can be completed in one minute, with a 30-second break in the middle before starting the next round.
Apart from Chen Dixin's red side and Cang Yue's blue side, after four rounds, neither of the other two sides managed to throw a six.
Feng Shengshui's face had turned very ugly. From the moment he was dragged up there, he had already anticipated what was going to happen.
[A-level master of balance: You always manage to make the most stable decisions; risk and high-stakes are not your forte.]
He threw two 4s and two 5s in four innings, but no 6s!
This is absolutely infuriating. Feng Sheng Shui Qi knows very well how small the probability is of rolling the highest number. If the probability of someone else rolling a 6 is one in six, then the probability for him is one in sixty!
As for the remaining person, perhaps they were just unlucky.
Chen Dixin and the other two stood at the starting point. In the fifth round, they all received system notifications.
[You have rested for five rounds. You may choose to start in the opposite direction, taking a path of destiny in your own hands. Upon returning to the starting point, you will earn a Destiny Card for your team.]
They exchanged a glance.
"I'll go scout ahead."
"Xiao Ling, stay."
"I'll do it."
Shen Dixin said firmly, “Xiao Ling doesn’t have much time to use her power, so she should conserve her strength. The two of us can go. By the way, have your sister communicate with me.”
Xiao Cai has already told Tao Ling about the fortune I drew from the card.
With little time left in the round, Chen Dixin picked up the fallen dice.
——5.
The red team uses a "double card" on piece number one, allowing them to roll two dice simultaneously.
She smiled knowingly, and the next die she threw added an extra shadow.
—3, 6.
No matter when you roll a 6, you get an extra chance to roll the dice, so Chen Dixin got a total of 12 action points.
She stepped on a square of the same color midway through the game, and was now only one square away from the blue side's finish line. She planned to ambush the blue piece that was about to reach the finish line from there.
Coffee wasn't as fast as her, so she rolled a 1 and decided not to go out anymore. Now, it's easy to bump into other pieces if you go out.
I felt very nervous about the fortune. Xiao Cai poked her neck every now and then, which meant number one. She thought it meant she should use the double card, but Xiao Cai's actions didn't stop after she used it up.
However, she wasn't nervous about using the wrong prop, but rather that Cang Yue was watching her the whole time.
With a heavy heart, I threw out another fate card: "I want to use the communication card on piece number one."
Cang Yue tilted his head and asked her, "Are you feeling unwell? The little thing on your shoulder seems to keep poking you."
"Cough cough cough! No, no! I'm fine." My luck erupted with a thunderous sound to cover up her guilty conscience.
"I'll watch over it for you. It's so naughty, this isn't the time for playing around." Cang Yue smiled and picked up Xiao Cai, its hiding as if in a joke.
My luck was so good that I didn't have time to worry about Xiao Cai, because the communication had already started. A chat box popped up in front of me. Luckily, punctuation marks weren't counted in the word count, otherwise I would have to test everyone's tacit understanding in punctuation.
"Fifty characters, save!"
"Can a piece move past another piece without landing on the same square?"
Cang Yue paused, then his eyes lit up. "Of course, of course!"
Although it's called a chat box, the transparent screen allows everyone present to see the chat content.
"Okay, Xiao Cai."
To save words, their communication was like playing a riddle!
Fortunately, both of them were quite quick-witted. The reason they suddenly brought up Xiao Cai must be that it could no longer transmit messages. Its level was not high, and it was normal for it to be exposed in front of the white-faced man who had broken the rules.
"Look at me."
After typing the last two words, Chen Dixin counted them; their communication had taken a total of 27 words.
Intellectual combat is not her forte; to win first place, she needs to lure her opponents into areas where she excels, such as combat.
Her gold-rimmed glasses had already gathered information on everyone. Apart from the few ferocious beasts among the blue chess pieces, none of the others were a match for her.
Cangyue's information was displayed as a question mark, indicating a significant difference in their attributes.
Among the white-faced people who deviated from the rules, Shen Dixin only saw Zhanlan's attributes, with an average of fifty points in all three dimensions, while the other white-faced people generally had around forty points.
The pieces have only two minutes to move, which effectively protects their safety.
But it doesn't matter, Shen Dixin has a plan. She looked at the various unused combat items in her backpack and slowly revealed the villain's signature smile.
See? Who said it was useless? It's come in handy right now.
In the next round, Shen Dixin successfully moved in front of the blue piece, blocking the giant beast that was about to enter the finish line.
Luck did not favor Cangyue; she only rolled a six, which meant that only one piece could move, and pieces that moved in the opposite direction were beyond the player's control.
Whether she wanted it or not, the giant beast was destined to appear before Shen Dixin.
The moment she stood still, she began frantically pulling props out of her backpack, covering the two-meter-wide path with small bombs!
Although she herself will also take explosion damage, she has unused shields!
The miniature shield, which only lasts for one second and has a very small blocking range, was originally a free gift with the purchase of a shield. It is very effective at blocking the damage from a bomb explosion.
There are also mind-controlling Gu, incapacitating Gu, and incapacitating Drunken Gu; all sorts of props are pulled out as if they're free.
It was a gray wolf that was two meters long. Although he didn't understand what the human in front of him was doing, his intuition told him that there was murderous intent!
Given the opportunity to act independently, no one would miss it. The player teams almost all came out, and because the numbers they rolled were too close, three players from the green team squeezed into the same square.
Only Spider Toast and Tao Ling remained at the starting point.
Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, she seemed to have also made contact with her teammates through some means. Now, she looked calm and composed, as if she had everything under control.
Shen Dixin didn't care. The moment the passage in front of her opened, she threw a bottle of Gu worms at the gray wolf. The Heart-Eating Gu officially took effect. She controlled the gray wolf to step on the landmines, while she herself darted to the gray wolf's original spot.
[WARNING! WARNING! Players must return to their original positions within five seconds, otherwise it will be considered cheating and you will be eliminated on the spot!]
Five seconds was enough. She leisurely stepped back into the cubicle through the smoke, where a gray wolf, stunned by the explosion, stood before her.
With a swift stroke, Chen Dixin drew his sword and drew away its last drop of blood.
