Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 327 Fate is always wonderful

"So this is the whole process of your rush to the 'Hongmen Banquet'?"

Above the gray fog, in the magnificent bronze hall, Klein tapped the long table lightly and asked Star with a strange expression.

"Well, that's pretty much the whole picture."

Star didn't feel any pressure, as if what happened before had nothing to do with him.

"But that was a situation that the 'Angel King' Adam set up specifically for you. Why did you go there anyway?"

Klein looked puzzled.

“Because I won’t die.”

"As long as people are alive, there are still many possibilities."

Star said in a light tone.

"but……"

Klein sighed at this point, and then continued:

"Didn't you say that after this, you lost some of your ability to use your 'golden finger'?"

"Or rather, your 'reliance'."

When Klein got to this point, he suddenly remembered the information about Adam that Star had mentioned:

The leader of the oldest and most secretive organization, the Twilight Hermit Order, the "audience" passes through the "Angel King" and carries the unique "Son of the Creator".

From any perspective, Adam is a target that Klein dare not even think about now. He is worried that Adam will be considered "unreasonable" and eliminated because of his mysterious and unpredictable abilities.

And Star actually wanted to confront Him? This...

The senior is indeed a senior. I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand him.

Or in other words: In fact, I don’t really understand him?
Klein inexplicably felt that Star had a kind of "otherworldly master" quality, and he was also infected by his confidence.

However, out of concern and worry, some basic questions still need to be asked.

“Isn’t this a reason why we have to go?”

Star smiled and explained to Klein.

"If you were me, you would understand if you thought this way."

“But…” Klein chose his words carefully. “But I am not you, and you are the one who made the sacrifice.”

"This is not a question of whether it's worth it or not, or whether it makes sense or not. What really concerns me is that you were harmed by Adam."

If the gap between his strength and Adam's was not so huge, Klein would have even had such an idea:
Damn Adam.

In every sense.

Whether it is from the perspective of being prepared to kill so many civilians in order to follow the trend of the times, or because of other ideas and wanting to stand on Star's side and share the same hatred of the enemy.

"That's true, but it's only about the 'transformation' part of 'Gold Finger'."

"Other 'dependencies' remain unchanged."

"Even my own extraordinary abilities can still be used very smoothly."

"Besides, even if I don't go, Adam will definitely let me go with his ability."

"He is an expert in this area."

After a brief interruption here, Star did not continue discussing the matter because it was of no value.

So Star decided to put it in a positive light.

He tapped the long table and said finally:

"Besides, just because I can't use it doesn't mean others can't use it."

"what do you mean?"

Klein understood Star's idea tacitly, and then asked him to materialize a "belt" on the long table.

"Yes, I can create 'equipment' for others, such as this type of magical items."

Isn't this "Masked Rider"?

Klein looked at the mysterious object that appeared on the long bronze table and couldn't help but complain.

By the way, the works he wrote also combined this element. I wonder what made Star like this subject?
About this topic of special effects?
The divine giant transmits light in the sunset, and the human knight resists fate in the rain?

Klein suddenly thought of this sentence at the top.

Looking back at Star's decision to choose "Wheel of Fortune" as the code name, it seems that he had some intention behind it.

As he was thinking, Klein heard Sta add again:

"Aren't you planning to contact Miss Messenger's 'Temperance Faction' recently to deal with the Rose School's Indulgence Faction and verify your own speculations about the 'Magician's' role?"

"Well, but this 'equipment'..."

Klein thought of his wallet and suddenly felt distressed.

"Well, I don't have much savings for such magical items at the moment, and I still owe you a lot of debt."

Speaking of this, Klein couldn't help but feel a little guilty:

Although the transaction with Silver City at noon today brought in extraordinary materials equivalent to at least two thousand pounds.

But he would have to wait until he sold them all before he could see any income - besides, Klein still owed Star a lot of money.

And this is Klein's difficulty.

“I wonder how long it will take Miss Sharon’s channels to sell these extraordinary materials.”

Klein pondered in his heart, and when he thought of his debt, he couldn't help but feel a little sad:
That was a huge sum of money in the five figures. Since it was the first time for Silver City to trade supplies, it must have accumulated a lot of demand in normal times - this allowed him, Silver City, and the Tarot Club members who were responsible for sacrificing the items Silver City needed to gain huge profits.

There may not be such a huge income in the future.

Thinking of this, Klein glanced at Sta and comforted him:
"With the Tarot Trade that Star opened up as a three-way exchange channel, at least there will be some income in the future, and I can pay off Star's debt."

So Klein calmed himself down in this way.

It was at this point that Star successfully redirected Klein's attention to the main business:

"You don't need to worry about this, because my 'equipment' is also a trial product."

"If necessary, you can rent it for a while. I will put it on the Tarot Club along with some other extraordinary items."

"If you need it, just withdraw it yourself."

After a pause, Star said simply:

"You can think of it as a store in the game. I will always add different items, including the different types of powerful amulets I sold before."

"Of course, you can open it to other members of the Tarot Club at your discretion. The price and method are up to you to decide, and I'll give you 30% of the commission."

This was an idea Star had had for a long time, but he only brought it up now.

It just so happens that the Tarot Club has more members, and my wallet is getting fatter, right?

Of course, Star simply regards it as a mutually beneficial income-increasing project, and does not pay much attention to it. Because it is not important.

For him, having more money means he has fewer worries about making money:
Damn it, this charming golden list...

Star muttered inwardly, then said to Klein:
"So you want it?"

"Yes, of course."

"Okay, but its main body is made of Sequence 5 'Shepherd' Beyonder characteristics, so don't lose it when the time comes."

After saying this casually, Star saw through the gray mist that Klein's expression had changed:
"'Shepherd'? Is it the 'Shepherd' of 'Creeping Hunger' that 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Zillingos wears?"

"After Qi Lingos obtained the magical item, he used it to roam the five seas."

"Then after I got 'Creeping Hunger', I shouldn't be any worse than him, right? And this is after Star's transformation."

For a moment, Klein's breathing became heavier:

After all, he is still just a Sequence 7!

Soon, he felt grateful to Star again:

That's great. Even in the past, it was hard to meet someone like Star-senpai, right? Or, it was hard to establish such a "pure" relationship?

These thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and then Klein asked:
"Star, by the way, are you going back to Backlund next week?"

"That's about right. I spent the whole day on the sea today. I plan to spend a few more days in Bayam, the so-called 'City of Generosity', in the Sonia Sea."

“It’s good that you think that way.”

Klein paused for a moment, not knowing whether he should speak or not. In the end, he said:
"I always feel like you have something on your mind."

"Although you seemed to be quite relaxed before, you seem to be very busy for a while..."

"It's only now that things seem a little more relaxed."

Klein stopped talking here.

This is obviously a good thing for Star.

But considering the related consequences after leaving the island, this is not a good thing.

In short, Klein guessed some of Star's thoughts:
Deep down, Klein agreed, but what help could he offer?

"If only I could become a demigod sooner... Then I would have a lot of options whether to take revenge on Ince or to help Star."

However, Star seemed to see through Klein's thoughts and smiled.

"Xiao Ke, actually, you are of great value to me."

"What's the value?"

"Development game."

The words were concise, but they made Klein's mouth twitch for a moment.

Well, Star is indeed relaxed...

Klein thought so and saw Sta say hello. Then he understood what Sta meant and tacitly cut off the connection between him and the crimson star in the gray fog.

……

Rossde Islands, on a hillside outside Bayam.

Star first experimented with the limitations of his own extraordinary ability of "transformation" after Adam planted a "psychological suggestion":
The difficulty of "abusing" high-sequence extraordinary characteristics is second only to the most important issue.

The "transformation" time is much shorter than before.

Even with the Sequence 6 Beyonder characteristics of the same level, it is not easy for Star to maintain the state of continuous "equipment" and "transformation".

Not to mention the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5, it was simply unbearable to watch.

"Two hours of charging and five minutes of experience?"

"To the extent that he possesses those extraordinary characteristics of divinity, just like the Second Man."

"This is even shorter and weaker than some aliens who often have red lights on their chests..."

However, considering that "Transformation" makes perfect use of Beyonder characteristics, it has no side effects and has many additional functions:
Star didn't think too much about this extraordinary ability that had returned to its original strength.

After all, he has now basically lost the blessing of "between reality and illusion" in this regard.

Isn't this a benefit?
Because he can also experience the life of a "normal" Beyonder:
There is really no fun in a journey where you have to meet everyone in seconds.

After the experiment was completed, Star slowly walked back to the city and looked to the west, which was the direction of Backlund.

Then he looked away again until he reached an apartment building where an unfortunate person lived in his memory - No. 47 Black Corner Street.

Here lived an ordinary adventurer named Winter.

According to the original development, he would find a discarded corpse after a period of time, and see a shiny glow on it, which condensed into a turquoise gem full of life. He would then mistakenly think it was a magical gem, wear the extraordinary characteristics with him, and thus make it into a necklace, and keep it close to his body. As a result, he would be slowly affected by the pollution and die in pain.

After all, most of the extraordinary people did not know about the indestructibility and conservation laws of extraordinary characteristics, and never thought that their dead counterparts could also precipitate characteristics and become materials. Moreover, this process was relatively slow and easy to be missed. Therefore, after killing the extraordinary people, they often looted them and discarded the corpses, which benefited the wild creatures on the seabed.

As for passers-by like Winter, they are ordinary people who are unfortunately involved.

When Star passed by Bayam, he knew about this incident and wanted to avoid this tragedy.

This is also the revelation given by "dice divination":
Then follow your own heart.

That is the direction indicated by destiny.

However, when he actually arrived at Winter's room, the exhortation he was about to utter turned into another kind of words:
"I'm Renee's distant cousin, Winter, and you're a complete coward."

"Three years ago, Rui Ni was ready to go to Bayam with you, but you didn't say anything."

"Until now, you are still here, avoiding the words she once wanted you to agree to!"

After saying that, Star sighed, shook his head, and left Winter disheveled in the wind.

"Who is he? Oh, he's Rui Ni's distant cousin."

Winter was not suspicious of the lawyer's eloquence, and quickly moved on to the next topic:
Rui Ni likes me?

Ah, is this true or false?

It was only under Star's guidance that Winter's doubts were dispelled and he began to take action:
If we hurry tomorrow, maybe we can reach Simim Island.

……

To change the trajectory of a person's destiny, perhaps we can start with the people and things that are most relevant to him.

Star walked in the sun-shrouded Bayam, observing the tourists around him, and finally came to this conclusion.

Since you want Winter to avoid the subsequent developments, why not just let him go back to his hometown to see his childhood sweetheart?

Squatting down at a roadside stall, Star picked up a small ornament and bought it, then opened the box:

Inside is a "dice".

A milky white six-sided dice with a red 6 facing upwards.
