The Gluttonous Fish suddenly died. No one had expected this. Su Xiao looked at the fingernail-sized fish head in his palm. He had already thought of how to use this lucky item from now on, yet such an accident had occurred. The world was truly unpredictable.
Inside the Hollow Gem, the Sacred Snake had witnessed the Gluttonous Fish explode. It now did not even dare breathe too loudly. The dozens of escape plans it had prepared had all vanished, and its gaze had become noticeably clearer.
One had to admit that although setting an example by punishing one was an old trick, it worked very well—though this time it had been purely accidental.
Su Xiao put away the Gluttonous Fish's remaining parts. This thing could increase Luck by 3 points, which was a substantial boost.
After this incident, Su Xiao gained a better understanding of lucky items. Most inanimate lucky items were generally rather useless, such as talismans and accessories. Although they could slightly improve one's fortune, the results were minimal.
Living lucky items, on the other hand, were generally much more effective. The Wandering Luan he had obtained before and the Gluttonous Fish he had acquired this time were examples. Although such lucky items died easily, their effects were exceptionally obvious.
To use a simple analogy, inanimate lucky items improved the wearer's fortune. They treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. Living lucky items did not improve fortune; instead, they absorbed or devoured the wearer's bad luck. With less bad luck, good fortune naturally arrived more easily.
Su Xiao decided to rank lucky items based on his own experience: Special Grade, Grade One, Grade Two, and Grade Three.
Grade Three lucky items were the worst. They were all inanimate items, such as lucky talismans, luck-turning cords, or heirlooms.
