Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1087 - 293: Since That’s the Case, All In! (3)

"I won't play anymore."

Life Throat still stood gracefully, showing no intention of stopping him:

"Is there anyone else among you willing to try?"

"I'll go." Li Zheng stepped forward at this moment, standing before the contract table, then took out three 5th-level Spirit Plants from his Space Bag and placed them on the left tray.

Immediately, five corresponding Spirit Plants appeared on the right tray.

Just now, Li Zheng had asked for Guidance regarding the probability issue of the Destiny Game.

Guidance's reply proved that Life Throat was not lying; every time a contract is formed, a random judgment occurs, with no possibility of fraud. This randomness is completely beyond the control of the Destiny Clan members.

This gave him an idea and he decided to give it a try.

As for the reward of five Spirit Plants, Li Zheng didn't mind as long as the value was equivalent.

"Do you want to increase your stake?"

"No, let's start."

Life Throat nodded, then gently tapped the ground with the Bone Staff.

Instantly, the flame in the Glazed Lamp split into countless tiny particles of light, pouring down like a galaxy, weaving into an energy vortex above the scale.

The parchment on the contract table moved automatically, and ancient runes emerged from the paper, transforming into flowing light that wrapped around the Spirit Plants Li Zheng had placed.

The scale trembled slightly, and the trays on both sides gradually became phantom-like.

The five Spirit Plant phantoms on the left side were decomposed into emerald green light strands, while the five on the right turned into a pale gold mist. Both energies spiraled and collided above the scale, bursting into fine arcs with each encounter.

At this moment, a semi-transparent phantom of a roulette emerged above the contract table, its edges engraved with obscure symbols.

The two colliding streams of light simultaneously entered the roulette, spinning along with it, faster and faster until they became a blurred halo.

At this moment, Chi Tu activated Perception View.

Suddenly, he saw chaotic various energies colliding within the roulette, and in the Perception View, he could even feel a mysterious Strength, as if destiny itself was observing this game.

Eventually, the roulette's spinning gradually slowed, and the two Energy Flows reached equilibrium under some unavoidable Rule, the emerald green light strands and pale gold mist completely merging.

The left tray representing Li Zheng slowly rose, and the five Spirit Plant phantoms that had dissipated from both trays reappeared, slowly solidifying.

"Congratulations, you've won this equivalent value game."

Life Throat nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his voice:

"Equivalent value, contract completed."

With a wave of his hand, all ten Spirit Plants floated to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng grinned with joy, storing all ten 5th-level Spirit Plants into his Space Bag.

However, after completing the game, he had a doubt in his heart.

Life Throat said anything can be traded, and needs can be proposed by oneself. Does it have all the needed items?

With this doubt, he chose to ask Guidance:

"Brother Guide, are the demanded items generated by the Rule?"

Faced with the inquiry, Guidance, floating alongside him, opened his eyes:

[That's right, everything you desire can be generated by the destiny energy nurtured by the Destiny Rule, including some low-level Rules, but you need to provide equivalent stakes.]

After hearing Guidance's explanation, Li Zheng's doubt intensified:

"Life Throat said the stake is the precious thing in the eye of the gamer, which is me. If what I consider valuable has no inherent value yet is priceless to me, can it also be used as a stake to exchange for a low-level rule?"

[The essence of the Destiny Game is that members of the Destiny Clan can produce destiny energy through random gaming, and destiny energy can generate all non-rule items and some low-level rules. The more valuable the item is in the gamer's eyes, the more destiny energy can be produced.]

[But there are actually two hidden standards. The first standard is the individual's Strength, which you can understand as the Ancient God Race's arena mode. The stronger the individual's Strength, the more energy they can provide for the game. A trivial stake in the eyes of a Divine Realm Powerhouse is more valuable than all the wealth considered a treasure by the richest person in a Small World.]

[The second standard is the inherent value of the item. For example, a Rule meaningless in your eyes can still have value as a stake based on its own value, just like other items.]

After hearing Guidance's explanation, Li Zheng immediately understood the essence of equivalent value gaming.

It's like a guessing game where neither side can change the outcome.

The value provided by the gamer consists of three parts: personal Strength + item value + importance attached to the item (subject), and Life Throat provides an equivalent item based on the stakes.

So trying to game the Rule with "useless items" is just wishful thinking.

Once you understand the principle, you can understand the behavior logic of the Destiny Clan.

The Destiny Clan doesn't rely on probabilities to win; every game earns stable destiny energy. Winning can earn double profits, and even losing has a baseline energy gain, so there's not much loss, ensuring long-term profits.

"Brother Guide, can this gameplay be rigged?" Li Zheng asked his most pressing concern.

If it can be rigged, he would strip this Demigod bare.

Funding is not an issue; the Divine Kings of the Divine Hall Guild and Ah Lan of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce are both friends.

As long as he could win, even if he couldn't gather the energy needed to create a Rule, he could definitely gather a few Pseudo-rules.

[Unpredictable, each game begins with a random determination.]

Hearing Guidance's answer, Li Zheng felt a sense of regret.

The opportunity to get rich quickly was thus missed.
