Did Zhou Xuan and his two companions kill the Dragon Armor Beast?
Shen Heng was slightly taken aback, then looked at the people sitting next to him with some surprise.
Fang Ran ate his meal silently, Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, while Lü Wenrui's lips curled into a wide smile.
Seemingly sensing Shen Heng's confusion, Cao Mingyu was also sitting next to him, nodded to Shen Heng, confirming the news.
So, the three of them actually killed the Dragon Armor Beast... Shen Heng was somewhat surprised. He pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out how the three of them could have killed the Dragon Armor Beast.
"Hey, Zhou Xuan, how did you guys kill the Dragon Armor Beast?" someone nearby asked.
"Hehe, for a powerful Calamity Beast like the Dragon Armor Beast, of course we have to rely on me!" Lü Wenrui chuckled as he stood up.
Shen Heng looked at Lü Wenrui's round face, a flash of lightning seemed to strike his mind, but it didn't quite hit him hard enough.
"What? How did you kill the Dragon Armor Beast?" the man continued to ask.
Upon hearing this, Lü Wenrui spoke with some excitement.
"You have no idea how dangerous it was back then. The Dragon Armor Beast charged at us like a tank. We couldn't stop it at all and were Dragon Armor Beast flying by it."
"Just as the Dragon Armor Beast was about to kill us, my ability came into play. A very thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and hit the Dragon Armor Beast directly."
"The lightning bolt didn't kill the dragon- Dragon Armor Beast Dragon Armor Beast outright, but it left it half-dead. Then we went up, hehe..."
Lü Wenrui chuckled as he finished speaking.
He didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.
Shen Heng was speechless; he had just considered that it might be due to Lü Wenrui's abilities.
They initially thought it was just Lü Wenrui's ability that triggered various unexpected events, leading to the Dragon Armor Beast being killed.
Who would have thought that lightning would strike the Dragon Armor Beast?
No, if you think about it carefully, being struck by lightning is actually quite normal, since in the simulation there was always a thick thunderstorm cloud overhead.
Other accidents, whatever they may be, are unlikely to leave the Dragon Armor Beast so badly injured that Zhou Xuan and his companions could kill it.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng couldn't help but have an idea.
What would have happened if there hadn't been that thundercloud overhead at that time?
Was it because Lü Wenrui's ability failed to activate and they were killed by the Dragon Armor Beast, or did some other unexpected event occur?
For example, what if the Dragon Armor Beast suddenly suffers angina and dies?
Or perhaps he made repeated mistakes during combat, resulting in fractures throughout his body?
Or perhaps the Dragon Armor Beast blocked the path of the other Calamity Beast, then intimidated them, which angered the other Calamity Beast, Calamity Beast then launched a fierce attack on the Dragon Armor Beast, ultimately resulting in the Dragon Armor Beast's narrow victory?
The more Shen Heng thought about it, the more terrified he became, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Lü Wenrui's ability is truly terrifying when it's activated, even if it's not used.
The Dragon Armor Beast he and Xiao Xiangtong had worked so hard to kill, Dragon Armor Beast they would never have been able to defeat, died inexplicably right in front of them.
This is just too good of luck!
Suddenly, Shen Heng paused, as if he had thought of something.
Those around were speechless and shocked after hearing Lü Wenrui's words.
"I say, what kind of bullshit luck is this?" someone who didn't know Lü Wenrui exclaimed in shock.
"Hey, you didn't know, did you? My ability is Fortune; occasionally, good fortune comes my way," Lü Wenrui grinned.
"There's such an ability?" The other person's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing about Lü Wenrui's ability.
"Of course, anything is possible in this world!" Lü Wenrui continued to smile.
"Then wouldn't you be guaranteed to win if you just bought a lottery ticket?!"
"Ahem..." Lü Wenrui coughed awkwardly twice, "Well, it only happens occasionally, not all the time, and even if you win, your luck might not be good enough that time, and it might not even make up for the losses you've made before."
"But also..."
The discussion lasted for quite a while before they finally stopped.
Shen Heng glanced at Lü Wenrui, who sat down with a smile and a satisfied expression, and asked:
"Your ability is called Fortune, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lü Wenrui replied.
The people nearby looked over with some confusion.
Lü Wenrui's abilities had already been explained to them before, and he had just repeated them again. Why was Shen Heng asking about this again?
Shen Heng ignored the looks from the others and continued to ask:
Does it only bring good luck?
Upon hearing this, Lü Wenrui's expression stiffened, and he replied somewhat awkwardly:
"Yes, right? What's wrong?"
Shen Heng glanced at Lü Wenrui's expression, and his thoughts became even more certain.
"When we entered the simulation, a Calamity Beast rushed at us as soon as we entered. Is that related to you?"
"Oh, this should be alright, right?" Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Lü Wenrui's forehead.
"What happened when you choked on your water that night?" Shen Heng continued to ask.
Zhou Xuan and the others seemed to realize something as well, and turned their gazes to Lü Wenrui.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lü Wenrui became even more nervous.
"Well, maybe they drank it too fast!"
"What if, during the night watch shift, you went upstairs only to find the torch had gone out halfway up?"
"Then, then..."
Before Lü Wenrui could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan seemed to have already reached a conclusion.
"So, you're the one who made us hide until the Calamity Beast found us, is that also your doing?"
"Ah? Well, maybe so." Lü Wenrui smiled somewhat awkwardly.
Everyone saw through his lie, but he didn't struggle anymore; he was never good at lying anyway.
"So that's why our simulation went so badly! It's all your fault!" Zhou Xuan laughed in exasperation.
Fang Ran nodded silently from the side.
When Shen Heng was around, things were fine; he could pinpoint the location of the Calamity Beast.
After Shen Heng left, they encountered several sudden attacks by Calamity Beast.
I initially thought it was just bad luck, but now it seems that while they were still unlucky, it wasn't that they were unlucky.
"You can't blame me for this! I didn't want to either. Besides, my abilities are actually quite useful, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to kill the Dragon Armor Beast!" Lü Wenrui complained.
"Haha, although I don't know what you guys went through in the simulation, what Lü Wenrui said is right!" Cao Mingyu laughed from the side.
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, momentarily unsure whether Lü Wenrui's ability was good or bad.
" Fortune, Fortune," Shen Heng murmured, repeating the name of Lü Wenrui's ability. "Besides good luck, does it also bring misfortune?"
"Well, you can't say that!" Lü Wenrui said.
"Then how should I put it?" Shen Heng asked Lü Wenrui.
I once asked a master, and the master said:
Fortune is like flowing water, sometimes good, sometimes bad!
That's just Fortune.
"Speak like a human being!" Zhou Xuan interrupted.
"Simply put, a person's luck is fixed. If something good happens now, it means that something bad is very likely to happen later," Lü Wenrui explained.
Shen Heng nodded noncommittally.
"So if you want good things to happen, you need some bad things to compensate for them. The more bad things happen in the beginning, the bigger the good things will likely be later," Lü Wenrui said.
