Dice Contest

Upon seeing the arrival of these Velociraptor, Lin Zhen neither appeared relaxed nor panicked. Instead, he acted as if he were any other martial artist facing an attack, wielding his Autumn Frost sword and beginning to fight.

Given Lin Zhen's current strength, he could basically kill one of these Velociraptor with a single sword strike, but he didn't do that. He swung his Autumn Frost sword, and gradually recalled some sword techniques he had almost forgotten from his previous life. He could finish off a Velociraptor in about three or four attacks.

Lin Zhen often needs to think carefully about his past life, such as the Ancient God City. Because he had never experienced it, he knew very little about it. In addition, a thousand years had passed, and it was impossible for him to remember everything that happened a thousand years ago.

After killing several Velociraptor, Lin Zhen gradually recalled some information about the Ancient God City.

When Extraterrestrial Civilization arrived, their first destination was Central Asia. Once, an invader leader said in a public setting, "Actually, we didn't care about conquering this backward planet. We came here to retrieve a treasure from the Red Rose. Conquering this place was just a matter of course."

Now, upon careful reflection, Lin Zhen gradually began to understand what was going on.

Remembering the Red Rose symbol on the entrance hatch, Lin Zhen understood many things.

However, there are some things he would never say; it's enough for him to know them.

After Lin Zhen killed seven Velociraptor in a row, a large red Velociraptor pounced on Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen thought it was an ordinary Velociraptor and was about to kill it with his sword, but the Velociraptor suddenly spat out a fireball, which immediately threw Zhang Zhen into a panic.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was to Zhang Zhen's left. He used his Mental Power to control the sword and attack Velociraptor velociraptor. However, the sword pierced Velociraptor Velociraptor's buttocks, causing it to accelerate in pain and viciously swing out a claw. Zhang Zhen was already having a hard time dealing with fireballs, and now he couldn't dodge in time and was slashed across the waist by the Velociraptor's claw. Fortunately, he was protected by his Superior Star Artifact Armor and was not injured. However, his face was still pale, and he was in a bad mood.

Wu Hai rushed over and killed the Velociraptor with five or six consecutive attacks.

With this Velociraptor falling, this wave of Velociraptor was wiped out, with Lin Zhen only killing five, ranking last.

"Phew! This is the Swift Dragon King, a near-S-class Mutated Beast. It's really difficult to deal with when mixed in with ordinary Velociraptor. Moreover, this one can even launch fireball attacks. Zhang Zhen, you've escaped with your life."

Zhang Zhen quickly swallowed the medicine, glaring angrily at Lin Zhen, "You did this on purpose, didn't you! If you hadn't attacked me recklessly, I wouldn't be in any danger."

Lin Zhen shrugged. "This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. It's normal for my attacks to miss. If you think I did it on purpose, then I'll definitely stand by next time."

"You dare talk back to me!" Zhang Zhen looked at Lin Zhen in surprise, then his expression turned to anger. "Kid, do you even know what it means to respect your elders? Shouldn't you maintain proper manners when speaking to someone stronger?"

"Of course I know that, but I've never thought you were better than me."

"I'm not better than you? I killed twelve Velociraptor, and you only killed five. You got the third-highest allocation in the team, yet your performance was worse than a woman's. What right do you have to say you're better than me?"

"As the captain has said, my main task is to restrain and distract those things. This kind of direct combat is not my primary responsibility. If you think I'm not up to the task, then find another Mind Power Master."

"How arrogant you are!" Zhang Zhen was getting angry.

Wu Hai snapped, "What's going on! Is this how a team member should behave?"

Zhang Zhen didn't dare to refute Wu Hai, and coldly snorted without saying anything more, but he was clearly dissatisfied with Lin Zhen.

"These Velociraptor should be a group, and they might even have a nest. An Ming, come with me to see if we can find anything good. The three of you collect all these crystals."

Lin Zhen and Wu Hai headed into the depths of the dense forest, leaving Zhang Zhen and the other two to collect the crystals.

"That's just Zhang Zhen's temper, don't take it to heart," Wu Hai said as he walked.

"I understand, but he'd better not continue targeting me," Lin Zhen replied.

"Okay, I'll tell him." Wu Hai looked at Lin Zhen, feeling that An Ming looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen such a person before.

In no time, the two men found the Velociraptor's den in a huge cave.

"He's actually got some skills!"

Wu Hai's eyes lit up, and he ran to the end of the cave. There were about a dozen Star Artifact piled up there, including a high-grade sword and the rest were all mid-grade and low-grade. There were also some Gold Bead items. He didn't know where these Velociraptor had gotten them from.

Lin Zhen walked up to the pile of things, picked up one of the round objects, and began to examine it.

It was a silver coin-like object, except that it had a Xinghe pattern on it, and the metal material was somewhat unclear. There were even some gold coins among the metals.

Wu Hai said, "I've found quite a few similar things here, and many people have collected some. But these things aren't gold or silver, and there's no power hidden inside them. They seem to be some kind of decoration or bargaining chip. They're not very useful. If you want them, you can take them all."

Lin Zhen nodded and picked up all the Silver Coin.

Others may not know, but he does: this is the currency of Extraterrestrial Civilization!

After Earth was conquered, humanity faced a great migration, and their currency became the same as that of Extraterrestrial Civilization. Although this Silver Coin looks insignificant, it is made of Interstellar Mithril. All the currencies on Earth were later rendered invalid, and all of Earth's wealth was converted into this currency. This Silver Coin is worth one dollar in interstellar space, but when exchanged with Earth's currency, it would take one million dollars to exchange for such a Silver Coin.

Among the pile Lin Zhen collected, there were about five or six hundred Silver Coin and more than ten gold Gold Coin. The Gold Coin were even more expensive; it would take one hundred million Earth currency to exchange for one coin, which was equivalent to one hundred yuan in interstellar currency.

Lin Zhen also knew that there were Crystal Coin on top of Gold Coin Silver Coin, and those were the truly valuable ones.

Wu Hai handed the Top-Grade Star Artifact Long Sword to Lin Zhen: "Here, take this. Your sword does look a bit outdated. Everyone in the team is equipped with Top-Grade Star Artifact, and I even have a Top-Grade Star Artifact one. You can't be too bad off."

"Thank you, Captain."

Lin Zhen accepted the Long Sword without ceremony and put away his rather shabby Autumn Frost.

Aside from the mask that obscured his face, Lin Zhen didn't really have any good equipment. He had a mid-grade sword, a high-grade soft body, and mid-grade shoes, which didn't quite match his identity as Advanced God of War Mind Power Master.

With their spoils, the two returned to the group. Because Lin Zhen had obtained Top-Grade Star Artifact sword, he was not included in this distribution, and he even received fewer crystals.

Lin Zhen saw Zhang Zhen collect one of the Velociraptor King's crystals. Lin Zhen had quite a few near-S-grade crystals, all from the White Water Boa of Wudalianchi, but the one Zhang Zhen collected was red and contained flame energy, which was quite rare.

Unlike Lin Zhen, other martial artists do not possess Dark Star within their bodies, allowing them to control multiple elemental energies. Ordinary martial artists can only control one type, while some more talented martial artists may have the ability to control two types of energy. However, there are almost no people who can control three types, and many people cannot even control one type in their entire lives.

To master elemental energy, one must do so before condensing Star Core. Once the Dantian Qi condenses into Star Core and Star Power appears, it begins to repel other energies from entering the body.

Therefore, if you want to master elemental energy, you must do so before entering the Stellar Realm.

This Flame Crystal contains elemental energy components, which explains why Wu Hai and Zhang Zhen both possess elemental powers.

Lin Zhen glanced at the Top-Grade Star Artifact sword in his hand and sneered inwardly. Wu Hai was still on Zhang Zhen's side, giving him a piece of Element Crystal so easily. This Top-Grade Star Artifact sword was just to shut him up.

Currently, Lin Zhen cannot reveal his whereabouts within the Ancient God City. If his information is leaked, Li Yao will definitely follow him. The possibility of leakage will be smaller if he leaves the group and acts alone.

However, leaving so soon after entering would only draw more attention, so Lin Zhen was waiting for an opportunity.

But before that, Lin Zhen didn't want to suffer a loss. Seeing this, he said to Wu Hai, "Captain, I think we should use the same distribution system for ordinary spoils, but shouldn't we change the way we distribute some of the better spoils so that everyone has a chance to get them?"

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Luo Fei and Qin Huashang nodded in agreement. Otherwise, if things continued like this, all the good stuff would be taken by Wu Hai and Zhang Zhen.

"In what way?" Wu Hai asked.

"Dice game".

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Wu Hai considered for a moment, and seeing that Luo Fei and Qin Huashang also agreed, he had no choice but to nod. "Then let's do it your way, and use dice to Element Crystal."

Dice games involve using three dice; the one with the highest score wins. Many martial artists possess this kind of skill.

After Wu Hai finished speaking, he took out a transparent box containing three dice.

"I have this here too. This crystal shield can block the entry of Dark Gold Stage Mental Power and prevent Mind Power Master from cheating. Zhang Zhen, take out that crystal. Everyone will be compensated with a Low-Grade Star Weapon. We'll use dice to decide who gets the crystal."

Zhang Zhen reluctantly took out the crystal and then said to Lin Zhen, "An Ming, since you suggested it, shouldn't you also take out your Top-Grade Star Artifact sword?"

Lin Zhen simply took out his sword. He used a mid-grade sword, which was similar to a high-grade sword. A mid-grade sword could be infused with Gold Qi to reach the level of a high-grade sword. If a high-grade sword were infused with top-grade energy, it would attract too much attention.

All five agreed to play the dice game, and the first one to play was the Flame Crystal. Wu Hai, as the captain, went first and pressed the launcher on the box. The three dice bounced for a while, showing a one, a two, and a six.

"Sigh! Nine o'clock, looks like there's little hope."

Luo Fei took it, launched it, two twos and a three, seven points were out of the question.

Qin Huashang took it again, and after launching it, counting one, two, three, six, she helplessly shrugged. "I'm out of luck."

Zhang Zhen took it again, flicked it, and the dice bounced for a while, showing four, five, six, and fifteen points!

"Haha! What's meant to be will be, that's fate."

Lin Zhen finally took the box. "That's not necessarily true. Maybe I'll just roll three sixes."

"Keep bragging. Even a Dark Gold level Nen Master can't cheat with this kind of box. How could you, a mere Gold-level Nen Master, be so lucky as to surpass me?" Zhang Zhen said with great disdain.

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "I've always been lucky." He then swayed slightly.

Several people watched intently, first one stopped at six, then one stopped at five.

"Little Little Little!" Zhang Zhen exclaimed excitedly.

The last die stopped, and it was another five!

I fell asleep while writing yesterday and didn't wake up until late at night. I'll try to write more today; this is the first chapter.
