Chapter 315: Sixteen Exposed! (5K) (Requesting monthly tickets!)
Right thumb—[Disturbance].
In the game, it was a remarkably useful Rule; simply put, a thumbs-up would add a positive BUFF, and a thumbs-down would add a negative BUFF, of course with the ability to choose the target.
Players usually gave themselves a thumbs-up before a BOSS fight to strengthen themselves, and during the fight, they’d give the BOSS a thumbs-down to weaken it.
It was one of Bai Wei’s favorite Rules when he was a player, and in reality, its effect was definitely more powerful than in the game.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fully belong to him. After using it once, it would deactivate and return to Rocky’s side.
This was a regret for Bai Wei.
If only he could snatch it directly, then he wouldn’t need to run around; just staying in Taoyuan Village until he was fully revived would suffice.
Of course, Bai Wei understood, this was the limit of what Taoyuan Village could do.
Taoyuan Village couldn’t directly snatch Rules but could temporarily retain them here, to be later taken by Bai Wei directly from Taoyuan Village.
And this depended on each Corpse Fragment Holder willingly contributing their Rule.
If Rocky were here, he would definitely complain that he had not volunteered.
But in fact, when he grabbed that dice cup, it was already “voluntary.”
Yes, the so-called gambling was just a ruse for Rocky to willingly leave behind his Rule, but it also made Rocky believe that these were Rules left by Visas, not strategic plots by Bai Wei.
He didn’t realize there was actually no difference between the two.
Well… not exactly no difference.
Bai Wei currently couldn’t change Taoyuan Village’s foundational Rules, so what he had told Rocky before about the loser only losing a Rule for a month and that the cost of the Rule needed to be paid by the loser was true.
Also, that staying meant leaving behind all [Rules] was true.
This meant that if Bai Wei lost to Rocky, he would also lose [Termination] and [Gaze].
Oh, and even [Domination].
But Bai Wei still dared to gamble with Rocky because, although he couldn’t rewrite Taoyuan Village’s foundational Rules, he could add new elements on top, making it operate the way he wanted.
That was the simple and brute action of rolling dice.
On the surface, the odds were fifty-fifty, but in reality, they were not.
Not just because of his all-seeing eye, but also because of a hidden element—the tongue.
Rocky may not notice that tonight he was more irritable and impulsive than usual.
But even if he did realize, he probably wouldn’t think about the tongue; he’d mostly just think that Bai Wei was being too despicable or that those two Rules had overwhelmed his greed, clouding his judgment.
In any case, tonight was a good trial.
Bai Wei was quite satisfied with his gains. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
If there were to be a next time, surely Rocky would ask to change the game.
With that thought, Bai Wei leisurely exited Taoyuan Village.
…
Unlike Bai Wei’s leisurely demeanor, Rocky, back in reality, was like a lion enraged.
He slapped away the handsome Little Priest anxiously checking his condition and strode towards the prayer room.
Everyone in the East Church felt Rocky’s fury; no one dared to stop him along the way, just hurriedly showing their respects, while Rocky ignored them all.
He reached the prayer room at top speed, and like flicking a chicken away, threw several praying Priests aside, yelling at them, “Get out, I need to pray to the Lord!”
The Priests, well aware of Rocky’s temperament, hurriedly left the prayer room without a word and closed the door behind them.
Then, the prayer room was left with only Rocky.
He then immediately Sealed under the statue of the Rhein God, and simultaneously closed his eyes.
A beam of Holy Light then descended from above, landing on him and forming a pure white spherical barrier around him.
[Divine Skill·Blessed Land]!
Rocky connected with the power of the Rhein God, directly entering the state of Divine Blessing.
In this state, any Evil Magic or curses would be expelled, purified.
Impurities would wriggle out of his body like earthworms scorched by the sun, ultimately extinguishing in the Holy Light.
Rocky, battle-hardened, was experienced in this.
However…
Rocky slowly opened his eyes, not seeing any impurities excreting from his body.
But this only made his expression worsen.
After taking a deep breath, Rocky canceled the release of the Divine Skill, his face no longer displaying previous anger, but rather a solemn demeanor.
He looked down at his right thumb.
It looked no different from an ordinary finger.
Then he slowly raised his hand, giving a thumbs-up to himself, as he had countless times before when faced with dire situations, waiting for a response from this finger.
But this time,
his body did not respond at all.
In the silent prayer room, he stood there with his thumb up, looking foolish.
Hence, Rocky, despite having prepared himself mentally numerous times, couldn’t help it.
He immediately swore.
…
The room was very quiet.
So quiet that one could only hear the sound of flipping book pages and the pounding heartbeat.
