Chapter 1: The Dice of Fate
Blue taro kingdom, Tallinn city, slums.
This is the third rain since the beginning of autumn, and it seems that the water is still in summer.
The bleak autumn wind and torrential rain completely washed away the entire slum and shivered.
"Tick, tick!"
In the most remote part of the street, in a modest rental house.
The gray-black rain stubbornly seeped in, and the owner staged a rain curtain for this purpose.
Heavy rain outside, light rain inside the house, this is Chen Qi's simple and unpretentious life.
······
"Is pie really going to fall from the sky?"
"You don't have to pay a price, you can make any wish come true!"
Chen Qi stared at the bronze dice suspended in front of him, unconcerned about the rain dripping on his body.
Just before the heavy rain came, he was just an ordinary worker.
But when he came home in the rain and fell into the black muddy water, the dice magically appeared.
[Cast the corresponding points, you can realize three wishes for free]
This is the information that suddenly appeared in Chen Qi's mind after picking up the dice.
······
Excited, incredulous, ecstatic?
Chen Qi only remembered that after looking around, he ran back to the rental house like crazy.
But after calming down, Chen Qi hesitated, could this be some kind of evil trap, can people really get something for nothing?
The numb and mediocre life in the past shackles him at this moment.
······
Inside the room, the bronze dice are still floating silently.
It is a standard regular 20 hedron with a number of points from 1 to 20.
In addition, there are some vague patterns and patterns on each face, but it seems that it is not a problem of wear, but Chen Qi is unable to see clearly.
What's even more special is that some of the [noodles] are also engraved with words.
Chen Qi counted carefully, [1], [14], [15], [17], [19], [20], and these [noodles] all have inscriptions.
The handwriting of the lettering is completely different, and the text used is completely unfamiliar.
But what is very strange is that even though Chen Qi does not know these words, he still understands the message on [1].
"Cast the corresponding points, and you can fulfill three wishes for free. (Note: Each person only has three throws, and the size of the wish is determined by the number of points)"
······
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The communicator suddenly sounded, waking up Chen Qi who was in deep thought.
"Next month's rent is advanced, give you three days."
"There is also a rent increase of 200, don't bargain with me, this is the protection fee of Kurotaki Hall."
The landlord's rough and hoarse voice was like a wolf growling.
But Chen Qi has no ability to resist at all, because his salary can only afford to live here.
Oh no, it's that I can't afford to live anymore.
Just today, he is unemployed, which is why Chen Qi was able to go home before dark.
Without waiting for Chen Qi to make a "struggle", the landlord hung up the call with a bang.
Along with it, there was all Chen Qi's previous hesitation.
He has nothing to lose in his life now.
······
"The gods before eternity, the great ancestors of mankind, the ancestors of the Chen family, please grant me boundless luck!"
After washing his face and hands, changing into the most decent clothes, Chen Qi lit three cigarettes and prayed sincerely.
This was already the most [metaphysical] way he could think of to increase his luck in a short period of time.
Ordinary dice may still be able to cheat, but such a magical dice should only rely on luck.
After the cigarette burned out, Chen Qi took the dice in his hand and threw his life very solemnly.
······
At the moment of throwing, the bronze dice emit a rainbow of light, and then actually appear in the real world.
The dice that were suspended in the air before seemed to only exist in Chen Qi's cognition, and had no effect on the world around him at all.
Except for Chen Qi's own feeling, touching, it can penetrate anything.
After the dice appeared in the real world, Chen Qi couldn't touch it, so he could only watch it fall to the ground, roll a few times and then stop moving.
【4】
An incomparably heart-wrenching number appeared in Chen Qi's eyes, and all the previous fantasies disappeared in an instant.
The dice were suspended in the air again, and then Chen Qi only needed to say his wish in person, and it would be realized.
······
"Hey, what wish can be fulfilled by [4] points?"
Chen Qi, who once again recognized that he was just an ordinary person and not a son of luck, tried to communicate with the bronze dice.
But nothing happened!
Chen Qi, who did not give up, began to try one wish after another, anyway, if he didn't say his wish in person, he wouldn't trigger the wish.
There is no time limit for making a wish, but you can't throw it again until the first wish is completed.
"I want to live forever!"
【Not enough points】
"I want to get superpowers."
【Not enough points】
Chen Qi's attempt actually got feedback, which immediately piqued his curiosity and began to experiment continuously.
Half an hour later, Chen Qi felt that his brain was overused, and his mind was even more blank.
However, he finally determined the extent to which [4 points] could fulfill his wishes.
"Hit the jackpot of 30 million! 【Yes】
"The body is developing again!" 【Yes】
"Make a full recovery of a cancer patient" [Yes]
"10 foreign languages in 1 day" [OK]
"Become a police chief in 1 year" [OK]
"Self-comminuted fracture, immediate recovery" [Yes]
“······”
"It's such a magical and terrifying power, it can be done to this extent at only 4 o'clock."
"If it's seventeen or eighteen o'clock, wouldn't it really be immortal?"
At this time, Chen Qi swept away his previous depression and was full of desire and ambition.
Even if it is only [4] points, it is enough for him to soar immediately and completely change his life.
But what wish to make, Chen Qi had a hard time choosing.
······
"[4 points] limits the upper limit of my wishes, and it can't make me transcend mortals."
"All mortals need is power, wealth, and good health!"
"I'm in good health, if I choose 30 million, if I hold money in the market, it will definitely cause trouble, if I have to do it, I'm afraid I have to make a wish immediately."
"There are only three opportunities to make a wish, and we must use it carefully for the long term."
"Choosing power takes too long, and there are too many variables in between."
"After all, my social status is too low to bear too much risk, but I don't want to compromise, I only have three chances to change my fate, and I must use it to the extreme."
After thinking about it again, Chen Qi finally made up his mind.
Since the social status is not enough, then the social status is raised.
When testing his wishes before, Chen Qi, who was resentful in his heart, thought of being dismissed for no reason today, and thought about whether he could become the chairman of the group.
However, it is unbelievable that it can be.
What he wants to be is the chairman of the [Cross Group], a private company, with a fortune of at least 180 million, which is obviously [over-spec].
What's even more incredible is that it only takes two days to achieve this process.
And when Chen Qi wanted to become a subsidiary of the group, that is, the general manager of the company he worked for, it took a month.
This strange situation definitely hides some mechanism of [Wishing].
"Since there are all risks, let's fight big!"
"I make a wish to become the chairman of the [Cross Group] in two days!"
Chen Qi looked at the bronze dice and firmly stated his wishes.
