God's imitator

Chapter 441 Accurate Divination

He Xiaojun's heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to control himself and not make any unnecessary movements. Moreover, with the mask covering his face, the other party should not be able to see any change in his expression.

Even so, he still felt uneasy.

Because the other party spoke with great certainty, and judging from the layout of the game scene, it was filled with a lot of mystical elements, with the boxes and dresses being highly related to tarot cards.

If someone in real life said these things to He Xiaojun, he definitely wouldn't believe it.

Feudal superstition is unacceptable!
Even if some form of divination truly exists, it's mostly just a charade.

But that's not necessarily true in games.

Because the copycat who designed this game may have hidden some special mechanism in the game, such as some kind of hint or code that only players who are particularly knowledgeable about tarot cards can understand.

In that case, players who know how to use tarot cards for divination might actually have some unique advantages.

After all, the rules of the game were clearly stated from the beginning:
As you can see, this is a special game space filled with divinity and mystery. Spiritual players may be able to sense the game's rules, find its occult secrets, and foresee or even change their own and others' destinies.

He Xiaojun was not sure about this either, so he could only continue to remain motionless in his original posture.

The "magician" stopped looking at He Xiaojun and instead focused his attention on the wooden boxes.

His gloved hands gently stroked the different sides of the wooden boxes, constantly changing their positions.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Each game lasts only 20 minutes. The first 5 minutes are for the "Sage" player to set up the field, and the last two or three minutes are for both sides to confirm the "Wealth Tickets" and leave the field. So the actual game time is only a little over ten minutes.

According to the game rules, if ten thefts are not completed, the wealth vouchers will be distributed according to the situation at the end of the game time.

In other words, if the thief only steals 8 wooden boxes, he will lose money.

But the Magician wasn't in a hurry and remained unhurried.

Finally, he seemed to have confirmed something, and then said:

"Tarot cards are used for spiritual divination, and there are corresponding connections and meanings between every two tarot cards."

"I choose the second strategy, 'stealing'."

"For the first wooden box, I chose 'The Fool,' which represents the beginning and the end of everything, and signifies infinite possibilities."

The Magician seemed to have finally made up his mind. Without further hesitation, he decisively reached out and opened the wooden box number 22 corresponding to the Fool.

Inside were 2100 wealth coupons. After counting them all, "Magician A" closed the wooden box again.

He chose the second "stealing" strategy, which was to select a wooden box, not take it away, but check the amount inside; then select another wooden box and guess its value.

If you guess correctly, you can take both wooden boxes with you; if you guess incorrectly, you can't take either of the wooden boxes.

The Magician continued, “The Fool and the Chariot represent two important stages in the growth of the soul, from the naive and fearless adventurer to the determined master.”

"The Fool is the starting point of everything, symbolizing infinite possibilities; while the Chariot is the seventh station on the journey, representing the ability to harness opposing forces and achieve phased victories through willpower."

"Therefore, I guess there are more wealth vouchers in this 'chariot' than in the 'fool'."

After saying that, the "Magician" opened the number 7 wooden box of the "Chariot," which contained 18300 wealth vouchers.

He Xiaojun was stunned. Although he maintained his original posture and tried his best to appear to be in complete control, his heart began to pound.

Is it a coincidence?
"Or has he mastered some special method?"

"Or perhaps, he really can tell fortunes? No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible."

He Xiaojun didn't understand what was going on either, but this was only the beginning. Even if the other party was just guessing, there was a 50% chance they would guess correctly, so it was too early to say. According to the game rules, because he guessed the size correctly, the "Magician" took the wealth vouchers from the two wooden boxes and placed them in the "wealth gain area" on his side of the table.

Then, the "magician" continued to try his hand at divination.

"For the second set of tarot cards, I chose the 'Moon' and the 'Star'."

"These constitute the key stages from subconscious exploration to the hope of rebirth, together depicting the complete journey from chaos and confusion to inner awakening."

"The moon represents unease and the unknown, while the stars symbolize hope, inspiration, inner peace, and spiritual healing; they represent rebirth and hope after the collapse of a tower."

"However, only by passing the test of the moon can we usher in the hope of the stars; setbacks are a more precious treasure."

"Therefore, I guess there are more wealth vouchers in the 'Moon'."

As the "magician" spoke in a low, mysterious, yet confident tone, he sensed the various wooden boxes and made inferences and predictions.

Then, he opened the wooden boxes numbered 17 and 18 of the "Star" and "Moon" boxes, which contained 1500 and 15900 wealth coupons respectively.

He Xiaojun was stunned. If last time it was luck, then what was it this time?
He remained silent, trying to stay calm, but it was clear that the game had become a one-man show for the "magician".

Worse still, the "magician" seems to have mastered some kind of trick; his divinations are getting faster and faster, and with an extremely high accuracy rate.

Later, He Xiaojun's mind went blank, and he just stared blankly as the other party kept taking wealth vouchers out of the wooden box.

The Magician guessed correctly on all seven of his previous attack opportunities, taking all the wealth vouchers from the 14 wooden boxes.

However, just when He Xiaojun was on the verge of a mental breakdown, the "Magician" suddenly lowered his head, seemingly in pain.

"I've used up too much of my spiritual energy; it seems I can't continue with divination."

"From now on, we can only leave it to pure luck."

"For the next three attacks, I will choose the first strategy: take any three wooden boxes."

There are only 8 wooden boxes left available. Instead of sensing or divining, Magician A directly chose three of them and took them away.

The wealth coupons inside are 8700, 9300 and 12300 respectively.

The thief's 10 thefts have come to an end, and the final result appears on the big screen.

In this game, the 'Thief' stole wealth from 17 wooden boxes, totaling 170400 Wealth Vouchers.

[The Sage has 66900 Wealth Coupons remaining.]

[Please leave the game room and wait for the next round to begin.]

Players don't need to actually take the remaining wealth vouchers in the room; they can simply leave, and the game will record the relevant numbers.

So the "Magician" simply glanced at the pile of wealth vouchers on his side, waved to He Xiaojun, and said, "Goodbye."

He Xiaojun stood up and left the game room in a daze.

……

Earlier, in the audience's room.

Lin Sizhi, dressed in the "Wheel of Fortune" gown, entered the room, while the other players also entered from different doors.

These people were all dressed in costumes with upright tarot cards on the chest, and they were all carefully looking at each other and observing the situation in the room.
