Gambler, Fate's Throw!
What abilities does he have?
Arthur thought for a moment, "Does a coin toss count?"
009 looked at Zhang Yuanqing, "Why don't you tell me yourself?"
"What ability? I don't know what abilities I have," Zhang Yuanqing said.
"Don't be nervous, okay? We're not interrogating you. We just want to invite you to join us in a great revolution," 009 said.
"What revolution?"
"In a world of chaos, we must break down the old and establish the new. We must crush everything and build a new order in the afterglow of the old world."
"Do you have money?"
"If you wish, all the wealth in the world can be yours."
"I'm in!"
Zhang Yuanqing was released.
Seeing this, Arthur yawned in boredom. "Why do you like money so much? What's the use of money? It's just a string of numbers."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing opened his arms wide. "Money is just a string of numbers, but watching it increase makes me feel happy!"
"Only those who care about money can understand the feeling of falling off a cliff when winning or losing!"
"If I don't care about money, losing money becomes meaningless, and the excitement of the game disappears."
"Imagine a gamble where you stake everything, including your life, and the winner takes all, while the loser is condemned!"
"Every breath, every moment feels like eternity—have you ever experienced this kind of stimulation?"
"It's like gambling with your life on a tightrope; that's the meaning of life. Only at this moment can I truly realize that I'm alive!"
The computer was puzzled. "But as far as I know, you've never lost since you gained that ability."
"In that case, can you still experience the kind of excitement you're talking about?"
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his arms, "Because I like the feeling of victory, and I like seeing others fall into an abyss!"
009 crossed his arms. "Everything else is negotiable. I want to know what your abilities are. It's not just pure luck, is it?"
Zhang Yuanqing took out a coin from his pocket. "Of course not, I relied on fate."
"When the scales of fate tip in my favor, whatever I do will surely succeed."
"Oh?"
"That's interesting. Tell me more about it," 009 said.
Zhang Yuanqing tossed the coin up and then clenched it in his hand. "Perhaps you think my ability is to predict an outcome."
"But if it's just about predicting the outcome, when I bet everything I have, there will always be some people who are eager to use underhanded tactics to change the result."
"So my ability is not to predict the outcome, but to change the outcome."
"This... clown must know this all too well, right?"
"I'm just an ordinary person, but if fate tells me that my fist can smash a building, then I can smash a building."
Change the outcome?
This ability sounds a bit scary.
So if fate tells him that he can kick a fifth-tier life form to death with one kick, wouldn't he actually be able to kick a fifth-tier life form to death with one kick?!
Are you sure your abilities are really as strong as you claim?
"Certainly."
"Okay, then try breaking one of my bones," 009 said.
"I don't have to pay you for injuring you, right?"
"Haha, if you can hurt me, I'll give you money!"
"It's a deal, it's a promise!"
Zhang Yuanqing watched as 009 tossed a coin, which landed on tails.
Without saying a word, Zhang Yuanqing tossed the coin again.
The result was the same this time: the reverse side.
So he threw it again, and it still landed face down.
"Um?"
"Strange, how could this be?"
Zhang Yuanqing, unwilling to give up, tossed the coin a few more times, and each time it landed on tails!
Something's not right, this shouldn't be the result!
His ability is a 1/2 probability; as long as he can land heads, anything, no matter how unbelievable, can happen!
But for some reason, when Zhang Yuanqing targeted 009, he just couldn't get that half head!
This result is the same as when Arthur cuts 009.
It was destined to have no outcome.
"Alright, no need to try anymore. You can try it ten thousand times and the result will still be the same."
"Because I am Absolute Indestructibility."
Absolute Indestructibility?
Zhang Yuanqing put away the coin. "That's too outrageous. How can someone have such an ability, even in the game..."
There isn't even such a monster in the Game Space.
"Well, of course, my ability doesn't necessarily have to use a coin. Anything with a 1/2 probability can be used to activate my ability."
"Coins are just more convenient to carry."
The computer pulled out a world map and walked over. "Actually, its abilities have many more uses."
After listening to Zhang Yuanqing's words, the computer directly calculated more than a hundred ways to use his abilities.
"Listen to me, the place you point to next is the location of the next Monster Sequence."
Zhang Yuanqing tossed the coin according to the method he was told, and the coin landed heads.
Then he casually pointed to a spot on the map, which happened to be the Liaodong region of Asia.
"His abilities can be used like this?"
Afterwards, the computer had Zhang Yuanqing conduct many experiments, providing a comprehensive summary of his abilities.
Firstly, Zhang Yuanqing's abilities cannot interfere with the level of Absolute Trait.
Secondly, if Zhang Yuanqing achieves a result, then that result becomes predetermined.
He's basing his decision on this result, and he can't change it if he tries.
To give a simple example, the computer asks it to point out the position of the next sequence.
He pointed it out.
Then the computer tells him to go outside now, and he'll encounter the next sequence after just two steps.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get the result.
Since the previous result has already shown that the person is not here, it is impossible to make him appear here in the next result.
Let's take another example.
Zhang Yuanqing went to buy a lottery ticket and randomly wrote down a number, which turned into today's winning number.
Next, he wrote down another number and made it the winning number. The two numbers conflicted, and no matter how he flipped the coin, it always landed tails.
Therefore, Zhang Yuanqing's abilities are insufficient to change a result once it has been determined.
However, after further testing, they discovered that this ability had a prerequisite.
To get a result, this matter must be something that Zhang Yuanqing can access.
For example, hitting someone, buying lottery tickets, pointing at a map, or drawing good cards.
These are all things he can access.
Zhang Yuanqing intended to use his ability to kill Qin Leng instantly, but this result was beyond his control and therefore could not be effective.
So next, they tried having Zhang Yuanqing launch a "Happy Birthday" missile to kill Qin Leng.
The result was that the missile was intercepted.
There are two possibilities: Zhang Yuanqing changes the outcome, but cannot guarantee that the process will definitely happen.
So Qin Leng would indeed die if he were hit by a missile, but the missile was intercepted before it could achieve its goal.
Ultimately, however, it's because Zhang Yuanqing's ability isn't Absolute Trait.
What does that mean?
Absolute Trait is that even the world has to follow your wishes; if the world hasn't considered this situation, it will do what it wants.
Rather than being Absolute Trait, it can only follow the framework of the world. If your ability exceeds the framework, it will be cut off directly.
The above is a summary of the abilities of 029 gamblers.
Without activating his abilities, Zhang Yuanqing is just an ordinary person through and through.
He was so ordinary that he couldn't even see through the surface of the Mist World.
This made the group wonder: was this guy really a Sequence?
