I'm not just human!

It gives the impression that it has come to life.

By this time, two or three guests had already gathered around, but they were all quite polite, keeping a step or two away from the table and watching from a distance, seemingly just curious about the outcome.

The next moment, a clattering sound rang out, and the toy soldier began to run with incredible agility, looking just like a miniature version of a real person.

It ran a few steps to the tomato-sized traveling slime, then leaped high and chopped it down with force!

Click!

The Traveling Slime was split in two, and a white light burst out from it.

The toy soldier turned around gracefully and walked towards the corner of the table, seemingly preparing to return to its original position.

"Oh! It's out! It came out right away!"

"You two are really lucky!"

"Even though it's just white light, it might still be enough to break even!"

Xia Fa and Ban Li stared curiously at the ball of white light, which was so bright that even the purple neon lights couldn't overshadow it. The traveling slime, which had been split in two, turned into specks of light and disappeared.

The next moment, the white light dissipated, revealing a fruit that looked like a cherry!

"It's a Flamgo! Shafa, it's a Flamgo!"

Chestnut excitedly grabbed Xiafa's arm and shook it twice, pointing her fair index finger at the cherry-like fruit:

"We broke even! We even made a small profit. The church buys these Flame Fruits for 150 gold pounds each!"

Xia Fa was also somewhat surprised, but at the same time, he completely understood how this hall worked.

It looks like this: each time you put in 100 gold pounds, the toy soldier kills the traveling slime, and a prize is randomly awarded.

To be honest, it was quite fun. The toy soldiers looked just like the real thing, and when the traveling slime was split open, some sap even splattered out.

Xiafa reached out and picked up the Flame Fruit, an extraordinary fruit rich in fire element, a favorite of those who signed the Fire Pact or the Ether Source Pact.

"My turn, my turn! You can keep the Xiafa fruit."

Chestnut's little face flushed red as she squeezed next to Xia Fa and stuffed a hundred gold pounds into the long, narrow opening.

Xia Fa noticed that an oval-shaped Star Spirit Gate, about the size of a dinner plate, had suddenly opened in the very center of the table.

Another tomato-sized traveling slime jumped out, and it was completely different from the previous one.

The previous traveling slime was a dreamy pink, while this one is a hazy, bluish-white.

As the oval-shaped astral gate slowly shrank and disappeared in a flash, while the traveling slime remained motionless, Xia Fa's curiosity grew even stronger.

The Star Spirit Gate isn't something anyone can open, nor is it something that can be opened casually, since it leads to the Star Spirit Realm.

But now, of the hundreds of tables in this hall, only a few are empty.

On the tables that weren't empty, the Protoss Gate would open almost every few seconds, depending on how quickly the guests put in gold coins!

Under normal circumstances, such a frequency... would be enough to attract the attention of those unknown beings in the Protoss realm!

Especially those unknown entities with ulterior motives that try to get close to the real world!

According to the guests, this place has been open for more than 300 years and is still safe and sound.

Seemingly noticing Xia Fa's confusion, an older customer, clearly dressed as a businessman, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, young man, is this your first time here? This 'Traveling Slime's Bizarre Adventure' is said to be a game created by the gods! Don't worry about the Celestial Spirit Gate opening too frequently or anything, it's never had any problems."

Xia Fa's spiritual intuition stirred slightly, and he sensed that this was at least a whale-level superhuman. Moreover, his money bag was casually hanging on his waist, with a family crest of a giant bear climbing rocks on it, so he was probably a local nobleman.

But it makes sense. Who but nobles, wealthy merchants, bounty hunters who can earn huge rewards, or super hunters who specialize in hunting supernatural creatures could afford to play this game for a hundred gold pounds?

Traveling Slime's Bizarre Adventure... To be honest, the game's title is quite darkly humorous.

Just then, the toy soldier moved again, and this time it made a beautiful leap, swinging its sword horizontally and cleaving the traveling slime in two.

A burst of purple light erupted from it, and envious gasps of amazement immediately rose from the crowd.

"Purple light! It actually emitted purple light!"

"I'm not kidding, this young couple is incredibly lucky!"

"Is this what the newbie protection period is like? I'm so envious!"

"Back in the day, I was like that too. I was guaranteed to get good drops every time I played. It's a pity that I can't do that anymore, sigh..."

"There's a chance of getting a high-level secret contract from the purple light. If they get one, they'll make a fortune!"

The purple light slowly dissipated, revealing a pebble.

"Huh? What's this?"

Chestnut was stunned. She was initially quite happy because of the burst of purple light, but now she was somewhat bewildered.

Xia Fa couldn't identify what kind of extraordinary metal or material it was either. Despite having read two books on mysticism, namely "Secret Texts and Divination" and "The Mystic Exploration Records of the Fog People," he still couldn't recognize it at first glance.

The pebble was about the size of a palm, rather flat, and looked quite ordinary, as if it had been picked up casually from the riverbank.

"Wait, something's not right..."

But Xia Fa immediately noticed something was amiss.

The purple neon lights were a bit dim, and I didn't see them clearly at first, but now Xia Fa could see that there seemed to be faint veins on the pebbles!

This looks like... an eyeball!

He reached out and picked up the pebble from the table, trying to turn it over.

The back of the pebble was covered with densely packed secret texts; it turned out to be a high-level secret contract!

More and more guests gathered around, seemingly drawn by the purple light, and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it.

"Oh my god! It's shipped! A high-grade secret contract!"

"This looks like a 'Deep-Diving Fishman', right? It's an extremely rare high-level contract, worth at least 16,000 gold pounds on the market!"

"Earned 16,000 gold pounds in one go? That's incredible luck!"

"As expected of the rat race. I've heard that the rat race always has good luck when playing this game."

"Young man, you'd better cherish your rat girlfriend; she's a real lucky charm!"

Xia Fa couldn't help but smile, finding the game increasingly fun.

In just over a minute, I've earned 16,000 gold pounds. If I played all day, what would that be like?

Of course, he also understood that, judging from the occasional angry curses and even wails from other tables, the longer they played, the more balanced their income and expenses would become, and they might even lose money.

After all, the owner of this shop isn't a philanthropist.

So he just thought about it casually and didn't actually plan to spend the whole day there.

"Xia Fa, you should keep it. What if you need to sign this high-level secret agreement someday?"

Chestnut smiled and said, "This is clearly something good that I revealed, but I'm giving it to Xia Fa without hesitation."

Xia Fa didn't take it this time; he was a little embarrassed.

Xia Fa grabbed one of Chestnut's fair and delicate hands, and placed the pebble-shaped, flat eyeball into her palm with her other hand.

"Take it, and be a good boy/girl."

He was about to try to persuade Banli again, but as soon as he said the word "obedient," Banli seemed to think of something, and her face flushed slightly. She lowered her head gently, and her voice became soft:

"Okay... okay."

Seeing her flip her hand and put the pebble into her pouch, Xia Fa smiled:

"Alright, it's my turn. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll make a big splash this time!"

Although he had only played three rounds, he had already learned the terminology from the conversations of the guests around him.

Chestnut smiled gently:

"Yes, yes! I believe in you!"

Xia Fa smiled and nodded, then took out a hundred-yuan bill and inserted it into the long, narrow hole.

The toy soldier had just walked back to the west corner of the table when the Celestial Gate in the middle of the table opened, and this time a traveling slime with a dreamy purple color jumped out.

The toy soldier seemed not to feel tired at all. He turned around, adopted a charging stance, and rushed towards the traveling slime.

At that moment, the surrounding guests tensed up, as if they were personally involved.

There's no way around it, this young couple is riding high, who knows, they might actually witness some miracle?

Xia Fa, however, stared thoughtfully at the slowly disappearing Star Spirit Gate, which was the size of a dinner plate.

Since the Kingdom of Augu is the territory of the Silver Universe and the Nature Monarch, then this game is most likely developed jointly by these two righteous gods.

The toy soldier was very much the work of the Nature Monarch, and the Protoss portal that could be opened at any time to teleport traveling slimes clearly involved the authority of the true god, the Argent Universe.

This time, however, Xia Fa didn't care about the two gods' motives, because the game was indeed fun and harmless.

Perhaps it was just something the two true gods deliberately set up to provide funds for their followers and even the church?

The next moment, the toy soldier swiftly and cleanly pierced the traveling slime's body with his sword, then quickly pulled it out, wiping the slime off the blade.

Whoosh—!

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling and blinding light shone forth.

A burst of golden light erupted!

Chapter 159 The Gods... Are There Really Something Wrong?

"Golden light! I'm not seeing things, am I?! Golden light!"

"Wow! Golden light is shining!"

"My God, what level of luck is that!"

"I'm so envious!"

"Young man, you and your girlfriend aren't exactly members of the Church of Fate, are you?"

An uproar erupted in the hall, with gasps of surprise soaring into the sky that they nearly lifted the roof off.

Under the neon lights, many onlookers were so excited that they couldn't control themselves. Some stared wide-eyed and clenched their fists, some had veins popping on their foreheads and their eyes were almost bloodshot, and some were staring intently at the golden light on the table, unwilling to even blink.
