Doctor: Luck Was Never Important

Standard will to "Truth", devout rhetoric of "Truth".

Although everything Wang Mou said was true, Cheng Shi secretly shook his head and didn't believe a single word.

He felt that this Believer in "Truth" was not simple, but he didn't know what the other party was hiding in this sharing. In addition, there must be some mystery in the mine that he had never known, which was why every teammate who had explored the mine had become much stranger than before.

Cheng Shi raised his head, his gaze towards the mine becoming puzzled and profound. Just as he was pondering, the Blind Man greeted the Investigator beside him.

"Your aura has become much more lively, Investigator. Have you received some good news?"

Li Wufang was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the Blind Man to respond to him. He smiled and shook his head, saying:

No, not at all.

Aside from reducing some of the burden on the Doctor and helping everyone keep an eye on Yadelik, I didn't gain anything else.

Unlike the Doctor, I wasn't lucky enough to find these good things. I was unlucky and only met a man who wasn't good-looking.

The leader of the Proxy Hand rushed to the mine, seemingly wanting to gather his underlings for something. I didn't want to waste time investigating or find out more details. I only knew that if the other party had assembled a team, our exploration of the mine would be more difficult, so I simply tied him up.

However, I see that you all seem quite interested in this 'mine owner'. So, does that mean I've made a small contribution to this team?

When it comes time to reward those who have made contributions, will I be among the recipients of all the good things the Doctor found?

"..."

The Blind Man fell silent. Somehow, she sensed Cheng Shi's influence in Li Wufang's words.

It's strange, why is this sunny and cheerful Investigator behaving so much like Cheng Shi right now?

Not to mention Blind Man, Cheng Shi also had this feeling. For a moment, he was a little dazed and thought he had suddenly seen a mirror.

Has the Mirror Walker made a move?

Impossible. The ability of the Mirror Walker is to imitate others, not to make others look in the mirror.

Cheng Shi frowned, his gaze toward Wang Mou and Li Wufang growing increasingly strange.

However, Wang Mou, when no one responded to Li Wufang's words, solemnly corrected him:

"Finding these Abyssal Crystal wasn't just a matter of luck. Although I'm Assassin, I've been studying Divinity for some time now. Only through accumulation can one unleash their full potential. Without my previous research, I wouldn't have been able to find these things so easily."

On the path to seeking the Truth, attitude is important, method is important, perseverance is important, and ability is equally important, but luck... is the variable.

Variables that cannot be controlled can never be important.

After hearing these words, apart from the two Wise One who somewhat agreed with the Doctor's "theory", the expressions of the others present varied.

Qin Xin's lips curled slightly, the Blind Man looked indifferent, Li Wufang seemed to let it go in one ear and out the other. Only Cheng Shi... he outwardly looked appreciative, but inwardly he was starting to have doubts.

What a double standard!

He vividly remembered the time when the Doctor had spoken to him about Destiny in the hotel, and he was deeply moved by it. At that time, Wang Mou had been listening attentively, as if he understood that "Destiny is also important." But now that the doctor had achieved some "success," he had completely abandoned the guidance of "Destiny."

Tsk, Doctor, let me tell you Doctor, [Destiny]... isn't always so forgiving.

You'd better think about what's best for you.

When all the players reunited after the Trials, a second discussion about the Trials clues naturally ensued. The shack area exploration team and the mine exploration team shared their findings, then questioned each other several times before finally reaching a consensus: they were fortunate to have found the "Cencha" between the present and the future on the first day of the seven-day Trials. As for where the "past" was and whether there were other "present and future" clues, these would likely be the topics for the second day.

With the Abyssal Crystal right before their eyes, almost everyone's conversation inevitably veered towards Divinity. Since they had such a smooth start, why not seize the readily available Divinity now that everything was in their favor?

Especially since they had two passionate Wise One by their side who were already eager to get started, everyone agreed and led all the NPCs to the only suitable place in the mine for an An Jing Experiment by the Proxy Hand. After "arranging" the people involved in the Trials, all the players created an absolutely An Jing Experiment Field for Morabik and Allen Doyle.

Wang Mou once again displayed the Abyssal Crystal, and Cheng Shi returned Zainjil's finger as promised. Morabik picked and chose from the pile of Abyssal Crystal, selecting one that was most suitable for the "opening" in terms of both quality and feel. The barely suppressed smile on his face seemed to say that the [Folly] followers underground had never fought such a rich battle.

Allen Doyle was also ready. As the main operator of the Experiment, with the help of the Fate Weaver, his mental state was almost at its peak. Everything on site was ready, and it seemed that the Experiment could begin at any moment.

But the atmosphere was too tense. Not only were the five players watching each other, but the two Experiment also looked serious. This atmosphere made Cheng Shi feel a bit constrained. He was afraid that excessive tension would cause the Experiment to fail again. So, in order to warm up the atmosphere and ease the tension, he asked a question that he had been curious about all the way.

"Mr. Morabik, is the Grand Scholar Rabio that the Doctor mentioned earlier your father?"

When Cheng Shi asked this question, he glanced at Wang Mou, and Wang Mou's slight nod was tantamount to responding to Cheng Shi's guess. The portrait of Rabio that he saw was indeed very similar to that of Morabik.

However, to everyone's surprise, Morabik frowned slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head and denied Cheng Shi's statement. Not only that, but Allen Doyle, standing to the side, said something that seemed absurd with a dark expression.

"Hmph, Lord Rabio is my father."

"?"

This time, not only Cheng Shi, but even Wang Mou was stunned. He frowned and carefully examined Allen Doyle again, then solemnly shook his head and said:

"No, the eyes and eyebrows in Rabio's portrait are very similar to Morabik's, no, almost a carbon copy of him when he was young, but you..."

I think you're more like another Scholar from that Experiment, a junior colleague of Lunzuoer. You and he are very similar in face shape and hair color.
