Chapter 5: The Gamble of the Gods

"Ding! Congratulations on joining the Decaying God deck and earning the deck-exclusive passive skill: Favor of the Goddess of Doom. ”

"The favor of the goddess of doom, the exclusive passive skill of the law of cause and effect, use conditions: none, skill evaluation: unknown."

"Effect 1: A follower of the goddess of doom. You have become a believer in the goddess of doom, and all the attributes associated with luck will be considered a betrayal of the goddess of doom. Therefore, when your Luck attribute is greater than or equal to 0, the system will forcibly reduce your Luck attribute to minus 1 (Note: Luck attribute is not affected by this if it is already negative), and your Luck attribute has been forcibly locked, and you cannot use the free points obtained by leveling up to add points to this attribute. ”

"Effect 2: Inducement of the Goddess of Doom. When you are running various 'sweepstakes' activities, your probability of winning a high-quality 'prize' will be negatively correlated with your lucky attributes. ”

"Effect 3: The disguise of the goddess of doom. Your associated stats such as hits, evasions, and critical hits will be negatively correlated with your luck stats. ”

"Effect 4: The scales of the goddess of doom. When you enter the 'Dungeon', the system will forcibly cut the Lucky Attribute of other 'Candidates' or 'Spokespersons' by 1 time, and the reduction time limit is 1 hour, and the degree of reduction is negatively correlated with your Lucky Attribute. ”

"Effect 5: The Goddess of Doom's reward. When other 'Spokespersons' enter the quest with you in party mode, that 'Spokesperson' will be immune to the effects of the Scales of Doom. ”

"Notes: You are the darling of Doom, and Doom will be great again because of you."

……

After reading this long list of skill introductions, the corners of Wang Duofu's eyes twitched twice.

When he just heard the system prompt, he was thinking, what kind of god is this "god of decay"?

When he heard the words "Goddess of Doom", he had an ominous premonition.

In fact, it stands to reason that throughout Eastern and Western myths and legends, there are not many goddesses who can represent "bad luck".

For example, in ancient Greek mythology, although the three Gorgons sisters are sometimes symbolized as "bad luck", they do not even have a godhead, so naturally they cannot get on this "little table of the gods".

Although Eris has a godhead, her main preoccupation is curse, discord and revenge, which does not fully match the true symbolism of "doom".

In Wang Duofu's barren lineage of mythological knowledge, there is only one goddess who perfectly matches the attributes of "bad luck" or "bad luck" (sui).

But Wang Duofu swore that he never dreamed of having anything to do with "that one......

Putting these factors aside, judging from the strength of the skill alone, this exclusive passive skill seems to be very ferocious at first glance, and there are as many as 5 special effect entries alone, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that this is a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and discarded.

Because the basis of all its special effects is negatively correlated with luck, that is, luck must be negative, and the lower the better, which is very cheating.

As a former Internet addict teenager (who later quit the Internet because his account explosion rate was too low), Wang Duofu clearly knows that all normal online games have only heard of "plus points", and have never heard of "minus points".

Wang Duofu has reason to believe that this basic rule of universal value is basically applicable to this slightly curious "T.C.O".

Otherwise, there will be a strange scene where a "spokesperson" clearance copy has been upgraded by 1 level, and the result is that ** attribute points have been deducted.

According to Wang Duofu's professional terminology before his death, they call this a BUG.

If you can't "subtract points", then what is the point of existence of this skill? There's no room for growth, it's a dull soul!

And from the perspective of skill settings, adding a passive skill is just to bridge the gap between the "Goddess of Doom" and other "spokespersons" in terms of "luck" attributes.

Hey, by the way, I guess this "T.C.O" has been held more than 1 game, I wonder if the other seniors who randomly came to the "God of Decay" deck are okay? I'd love to ask someone if I have the chance.

……

Ten minutes ago, in the "Banquet Hall of the Gods", a Caucasian man with long burgundy hair like a flame and a handsome face that was difficult to distinguish between male and female was raising a goblet in his hand to the lady next to him.

"Oh, sexy and charming Miss Doom from the East, if my calculations are correct, before that, you have already failed 29 bets in a row, and your already meager power of faith is about to bottom?"

"Uriel, if you don't shut your foul mouth, I don't mind using my own 'godhead' as a medium to let you be tainted with misfortune."

"Oops!" The Caucasian man named "Uriel" pretended to be very frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand on his chest and said, "You gods from the East are still as bitter and mean as ever, won't you respond to other people's concerns with kindness?" ”

"Goodwill?" "Miss Doom" narrowed her charming eyes dangerously, "In the name of the so-called 'T.C.O', to set off an 'enclosure movement' in the realm of gods, and then openly rob us of the power of faith and godhead of the gods, is this what you call 'goodwill'?" ”

"Oops! Lovely young lady, that's not what you say, if you are willing to listen patiently, you will hear those loud 'boom' sounds, which are the great waves from the great time! ”

"Your poor power of faith and humble godhead are nothing compared to these, but if they can be transformed into the gears of the great time, I believe that this sacrifice is meaningful."

Uriel wanted to say something more, but the goblet in his hand exploded for no reason, and the crimson wine suddenly stained the half sleeve of his slightly ostentatious golden suit.

But Uriel obviously didn't care, I saw him snap his fingers elegantly, and the golden gold suit on his body suddenly turned into a black suit and a red shirt, and the wine stain on the suit disappeared in an instant.

As if he had no idea of this little "accident" before, he continued to finish the unfinished topic in his strange Italian tone, "Times have changed, my young lady. ”

As he spoke, he looked around again and said, "Times have changed, everyone. Let today's 'feast' become an insignificant footnote to the new era! ”

Hearing this, the other four people in the banquet hall were silent at this moment.

But their expressions were differentβ€”the "Miss Doom" was frowning and frosty, with an undisguised disgust.

In addition to her, another curious-looking woman (let's call it a woman) is also expressing her anger in her own way.

I saw her eyes round with resentment, four palms into fists, and slammed against the gray-black tabletop, panting for breath.

If it weren't for the "rules" not allowing it, she would have rushed up and tore Uriel to shreds at this moment.

Her indigo skin, now turned crimson from her anger, and she looked like a ripe crayfish.

Another middle-aged man from Northern Europe was much calmer.

He was judged to be from Northern Europe because of his typical Germanic appearance, he was blonde with thick hair, a rugged and resolute face, a large and straight nose, deep eye sockets, and an eye patch, like a veteran Viking.

He was in a state at this time, like a gambler with bright eyes and impatient waiting for the market to open.

The last of the five was a standard Anglo-Sageson male white look, dressed in a priest's black robe, with his brown-black hair meticulously combed back.

His appearance was mediocre, the kind that he couldn't find in the crowd, but he always had a professional, formulaic smile on his face, and the whole person sat quietly in the corner of the banquet hall all the time, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, a fluorescent screen on the long table in front of the five people lit up at the same time, marking the beginning of a new round of T.C.O. candidate games.

By the way, this 5-seater "Banquet House of the Gods" was specially built by the GAC for "T.C.O", and the gods can watch the progress of the entire reality show in the banquet hall and "place bets" within the specified time point according to the prompts of the "Tree of Life".

At the same time, according to the number of gods attending the banquet, the GAC also distinguishes between "banquet hall of the gods" and "banquet hall of the gods".

Like today's 5-person gambling game, the choice is this "banquet hall of the gods" that carries less than 10 people, it covers an area of about 300 square meters, and the decoration style is a post-modern industrial style that does not match various religious elements.

In the center of the room is a large rectangular gray-black stone table, next to which there are 10 simple solid wood high stools, and the corresponding position of the stool is inlaid with 10 black LCD screens.

The black display screen is almost integrated with the gray-black long stone table, and it is difficult to distinguish without careful observation, but at this moment, the LCD screen is quite intelligently corresponding to 5 pieces.

Above everyone's heads, there is a dome made of transparent glass, and above the dome, there is a brilliant Milky Way......

The Milky Way was so close above everyone's heads that it was as if they could pick up a star with their hands.

But obviously, everyone had no time to pay attention to the beautiful scenery above their heads at the moment, and the moment the stone table screen lit up, their attention was already drawn to the "candidate" information on the screen.

In fact, as early as a month ago, the GAC put a list of thousands of "candidates" who met the conditions of this reality show on their desks, and the final "candidates" were also selected by the gods themselves who participated in the bet, and they were naturally very familiar with the basic information of the "candidates".

All they have to do now is re-establish the candidate they have chosen.

At this time, "Miss Doom" also cast her cold but charming Danfeng eyes onto the big screen on the stone table.

At a glance, she could see that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".

Uriel next to him saw that she was as cold as an "iceberg" all the year round, and he actually showed this expression, and couldn't help but cast a curious gaze and said, "Miss Doom, is there anything wrong with your 'candidate'?" ”

At this time, "Miss Doom" had already quickly browsed the initial attributes of her "candidate", she forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, and said indifferently without a trace: "No problem, it's just that I feel that my 'candidate' this time is a high fit with my deck." ”

Uriel didn't pay much attention to these little things, he already knew the game of victory, so in order to show the humility of the victor in advance, he decided to make a joke that was not salty or light, "Then it seems that you have good luck in this game!" ”

For "Miss Doom", praising her for "good luck" is not a compliment.

"Miss Doom" just glanced at him coldly, but did not answer, she returned her attention to the screen, and saw Wang Duofu's figure appear there.

It's like a stupid penguin.

"Miss Doom" couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and silently laughed in her heart, "Hehe, it's really an interesting little thing, in that case, then my sister will give you this skill as an initial gift, I hope you can bring a 'surprise' to Mr. Uriel, who thinks highly of us, and I hope you don't disappoint my sister." ”
