Chapter 21 Disaster Dice

Chapter 21 Disaster Dice
Ke Mingye focused his attention on the last skill number ⑩ on the exclusive sales page.

[Skill name: Disaster Dice]

[Skill level: D level]

[Skill Effect: Generate a dice in your hand, and make an "irreversible" throw of the dice. Then an event corresponding to the number will occur in reality. (Each event is different)]

[Skill Cooldown Time: One Day]

[This skill will evolve after being used 10 times: the evolved "Disaster Dice" can roll the dice twice, and choose one of the two numerical events obtained.]

[Each time this skill is used, the number on each side of the dice corresponds to a different event. The following is an exhibition of some of the events that can be disclosed in the event library:
①: A giant Mario will run across the street; ②: A band will run up to you and play loudly; ③: A dance group will appear and perform the seaweed dance in front of you; ④: A giant hot air balloon will fly across the sky; ⑤: A giant whale will fall from the sky; ⑥: Someone will shoot at you with a machine gun...]

"unbelievable."

This was the first thought that came to Ke Mingye after reading the skill introduction.

He thought that this skill was purely a matter of luck. If he was unlucky, he might be playing well, but suddenly a miraculous event would happen and he would lose his life. But on second thought, he felt that if he was lucky, maybe a roll of the dice at the desperate moment could directly change his fate, not an exaggeration.

A true double-edged sword.

But at least for Ke Mingye, this skill is definitely not the type that he would use when things are going well, but it is very good to use it as a last resort when encountering adversity: the worst result is death anyway, so no matter what the dice roll, it won't be that bad.

What should I do? I only have the right to acquire one skill left, but I want both this "Disaster Dice" and the "Flat Fall Expert".

Ke Mingye let out a long sigh. He suddenly understood the feeling of the protagonist of a harem anime being forced by the author to have pure love. He could have it all, but he had to make a choice.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He decided to act decisively, so he stretched out his finger and clicked the "Disaster Dice" panel, using up his last permission to obtain this skill from the system for free. After all, "Flat Fall Expert" was just a skill with a high degree of spoof elements. It might work wonders sometimes, but it was unlikely to really help change one's fate. In terms of actual results, it would be far inferior to the Disaster Dice.

After all, which real man doesn't want to change his fate by rolling the dice when in desperate situation? The gambler's soul burns deeply in everyone's soul.

After Ke Mingye selected two skills, the physical education class was almost over. The high school would not officially start summer vacation until tomorrow noon, so he had to come to school again tomorrow morning.

He glanced at today's date, June 6th.

Bai Zini and Bai Ziling's junior high school is on vacation - this means that during this summer vacation, the whole of China can see a magical girl named Ash who has escaped the gravity of the school, instead of a conspicuous girl who can only appear on Saturdays and Sundays; also, at night, the probability of passers-by being attacked by vampires on the roadside may also increase.

For other students, hearing that summer vacation is approaching would definitely be a mood booster.

But Ke Mingye is different. The word "summer vacation" means that he has to stay with the monsters in his family for two months, especially his eldest and second brothers, the two people he wants to avoid the most.

An executive of the Abnormal Control Bureau and a ninja, both of whom are top in their respective organizations, not ordinary people. Ke Mingye can fool the children at home, but once he gets close to these two, it is easy to reveal his tail, especially under the premise that Ke Xiaomo has already set his sights on him.

"Not only do I have to hide my identity from them, but I also have to find time to go out and meet other players to play dungeons under their noses. I'm walking on thin ice." Ke Mingye thought, "How about sacrificing other people in my family and asking them to help me cover up? For example, using some means that are not easy to detect, I can lightly reveal the true identities of Bai Qiuwu, Ke Yongzhu and Bai Zini to Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo, so that they can shift their attention to themselves. They should have no time to pay attention to a Muggle like me..."

Thinking of this, he shook his head and thought that it was still not good. It was very likely that I would be discovered in the process of revealing information to guide them. Now I should try to avoid taking the initiative.

Ke Mingye didn't think it was possible that his second brother Ke Xiaomo hadn't followed him to school to observe him, so even when he was alone in the classroom, he tried his best to cover up some small movements that required operating the panel by using "turning pages of books" or "opening schoolbags". Most other operations could be solved with his mind, so there was no need to worry.

Just as he opened his schoolbag again, the "Contact List" icon in the upper right corner of his vision suddenly vibrated, and a bubble with the number "1" appeared above the icon.

Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows as he took out a history textbook from his schoolbag. He knew that this meant that he had received a message from the mailing list.

I clicked the icon with my mind and opened the contact list.

[A message came from the discussion group of players in the same city. The current discussion group includes three players: "Unexplainable Dream", "Anti-Dog", and "Good Orange Peel". ]

[Anti-dog: At 5:30 this afternoon, gather at the Meiyijia Supermarket on the city's Yandai Commercial Street. I and another player "Unexplainable Dream" will be waiting for you two here.]

[Anti-Dog: Also, I only trust people who are present. If I don't see you, I will pretend that you don't exist in this city. Don't even think about me providing you with any information through the communication panel. It's no good for me to exchange information with someone I haven't confirmed in person.]

After reading these two messages with a cold attitude, Ke Mingye lowered his head and smoothed his hair on his forehead.

"How funny! No one was watching your birthplace, so you two must have just wandered off." He thought, "Then how can I get away? My second brother is watching me."

He knew that the player with the ID "Anti-Dog" wanted to take the initiative, and he didn't mind giving him the initiative to gather the players, but this person was too hasty and did not consider the situation of other players.

Ke Mingye thought again, but from someone else's perspective, there is really no point in cooperating if you can't even get to a supermarket in the city within two hours - after all, why would you cooperate with a player who can't move freely in the city and is always being watched? The risk of being implicated is far greater than the possible benefits.

If Ke Mingye's birthplace is relatively safe and free, he will definitely do something similar, isolating the players in a precarious situation first, and then contacting the players who are in a relatively safe situation and can move freely.

Ke Mingye knew that he was surrounded by the eight superhumans in his family and was in danger. If he went to meet the other players at this time, it would be easy to implicate them. After all, if they were also targeted by the eldest and second brothers, then it would be the end of them. The only thing waiting for them was a total annihilation.

Although he was self-aware, he didn't expect that someone would think of this just at the beginning of the game, and even pulled another player to make a move, which put him in a dilemma.

If this continues, he will most likely be cut off from the other three players in the same city, and be left alone to fight.
