Mike brought out something like a craftsman's apprentice, without the slightest bit of art.

The only thing he can get hold of the white porcelain cat sculpture in his hand is probably only an overall outline.

It seems that there is some cold expression.

"Haha, Thor, looking at the way you look, I know you're a little disappointed in it, right?" Matt smiled mysteriously, not as surprised by Thor's performance.

He stretched out his index finger and shook it twice in front of Thor, "This is the first piece of advice given to you by an elder who has been running a business for more than ten years: never be blinded by the superficiality of things. ”

He placed the white porcelain kitten on the dining table and gently touched the kitten's head with his hand.

"I'll show you how to do it myself." Mike pulled out another dodecahedral dice, "The dice know, right?" We throw it at will, to compare the size. I just stroked the cat god and was blessed for a short time. I'm sure I'll be able to beat you in the next three rounds. ”

With that, Mike held out his hand to Thor and motioned for him to come first.

Thor pinched the dice and thought to himself, "Could it be that Mike is an old man or a skilled gambler?" ”

He didn't control his strength, and casually threw the dice into Mike's plate.

The number with the dice facing up is 10.

That's already a big number.

Mike smiled confidently, picked up the dice, and threw them very casually.

The dice and plates collide with each other, making a crisp sound.

When the dice stop again, the top number is 11.

Exactly a little more than Sol's.

Thor didn't say anything, picked up the dice and threw it a second time.

This time it's 6 o'clock.

And Mike tossed it casually.

The dice arc in the air, and when they stop, it's 8.

Mike looked up at Thor, "I've already won two games against you, huh?" ”

Thor clasped his hands to his chest and pointed another finger at the dice on the plate.

"This time you please."

Mike raised his eyebrows and smiled as if to say, "I already know what you're thinking." ”

However, he did not refuse, still picked up the dice and threw them casually.

This time he threw an 11.

A fairly large, but not yet pinnacle of points.

Thor reached out and pulled out the dice.

He felt the texture of the dice with his fingers, and did not notice that there was a sandwich in the material inside.

It seems that the other party's method of throwing the dice is very exquisite.

But Thor is not afraid, with his control of muscles, he can throw as many points as he wants.

With a flick of his middle finger, the dice flew out, and with a "ding" sound, he landed on the plate and began to spin.

By the time the spin was about to stop, the two could already see that the top of the dice was a 12.

However, just as the dice were about to stop, the entire airboat suddenly trembled, and it fell down about half a meter in an instant.

"Don't worry, sometimes the air currents, or the birds, will cause the airship to vibrate, and it won't happen." Mike was so calm that he didn't even look at the dice on the plate.

Thor shifted his gaze from Mike's calm face to the plate on the table.

Because of the vibration just now, the dice on the plate instantly changed from 12 o'clock when they were about to stop, to 9 o'clock!

Thor looked at Mike again, and the other man didn't move a moment from beginning to end.

Finally, he looked at the white porcelain kitten sitting quietly on the table.

"Luck is like this, I can't tell, I can't tell, I don't know, but it does exist." Mike leaned back and smiled even more smugly, "People used to say that luck likes to come to those who are prepared. But even some people have prepared for it in their lifetime and have never seen luck favor them. ”

He leaned forward again, elbows on elbows, fingers crossed, against his chin, "And you got a chance to buy luck directly today." ”

"How much?" Thor asked bluntly.

The corners of Mike's mouth curled up as he was blocked by his fingers.

From the fact that Thor had just thrown the dice for the last time, he could tell that the young man in front of him had some ability.

But the more capable people are, the easier it is to fall into the other extreme after failing in what they are sure of.

They will inexplicably believe in the opportunity to overcome their own skills.

Even if that opportunity seems ridiculous.

"Since you're so happy, then I won't sell it. Twenty thousand silver coins, or twenty magic crystals. ”

Thor raised his eyebrows, "You still accept magic crystals?" ”

"Of course, they are all people who went to Sky City to make a living, don't tell me that you don't have magic crystals on you."

"Yes, there is, but I need to think about it, the money ...... Too much. ”

"Absolutely." Mike nodded at first, but then reminded Thor, "But Thor, good luck doesn't stay where you are. If you can't make up your mind before the airship arrives in Sky City, I'll have to give up on this deal. ”

After Saul returned to the room, Kate, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help but speak: "I think this person is an experienced liar. That white porcelain kitten is ugly, and he doesn't have the slightest magic fluctuation, and he actually wants to trick you into twenty magic crystals. If we were really just ordinary people, then twenty magic crystals would basically be a lifetime of savings. ”

"But he did beat me three times." Saul thought for a moment, "And the last accident is not something that he can do as an ordinary person." ”

"Lord Thor, you don't often deal with this kind of person." Kate licked her paws, "Someone like Mike, even if he doesn't experience the vibration of the empty boat, there must be other ways to interfere with your dice." And did you notice the time frame he gave you to consider? Why before the airboat arrives? Because as soon as you're done, he'll leave the airship and you'll never find him again! Of course, this is only based on the premise that you are just a normal person. ”

"Kind of makes sense." Thor nodded, "So I'm going to go over and see that ceramic kitten again tonight." ”

"Tonight?" Kate blurted out, "How do you see it?" ”

Thor drew a wavy line in the air with his hand, "Float over." ”

The beard at the corner of Kate's mouth trembled, "...... It's good if you're happy. ”

……

That night, Thor lay on a cramped bed and completed an out-of-body experience.

The orange cat, sleeping in a chair, seemed to sense something, raised one eyelid, and closed it again when he saw Thor still in bed.

It was still muttering, "I knew it wouldn't go." ”

Saul didn't wake Kate and floated straight up.

He quickly made his way to the upper floor, and after passing through several walls, he finally came to Mike's room.

During the day today, when the airship was shaking, he vaguely felt a spiritual force.

But that spiritual power was very special, it was a spiritual power fluctuation that he had never seen before.

Fast and faint.

It's like fluff floating in catkins, making it impossible to tell the difference between it and the wind.

Thor decided to change to an out-of-body state that was more sensitive to the spirit body, and went over to check on the white porcelain kitten again.

He believed that in this state, as long as the white porcelain kitten had the slightest fluctuation, he could sense it.

However, when Thor walked through the last wall to Mike's room, he was silent.

Because Mike ...... It's dead.

He sat in a chair, hunched over, face down.

Drowned in a basin of wash water less than three centimeters deep.

At his feet, the white porcelain kitten, which Mike had carefully guarded during the day, fell to the ground and broke in half.
