The King of Black Fog

Chapter 1274 - 565: Wager_2

She completely guessed the psychology of the Octopus Fog Shadow.

"Treasure, treasure, treasure!" the Octopus Fog Shadow said with a regretful tone.

Li Qianxia took out that white waist-baring tank top; she actually liked it a lot.

She had a slim waist, so it looked particularly good on her.

The key thing was that this tank top also made her chest look bigger; a B could have the scale of a C.

"Treasure, this is a treasure, wear it like this, treasure!" She even tried to teach the octopus how to wear the tank top.

Of course, she lost the gamble.

After all, with a tank top, making your chest look bigger wasn't enough.

Having won the gamble, the Octopus Fog Shadow, who was regretful just a moment ago, waved its eight tentacles: "Treasure!!"

Anyone could see its ecstatic joy.

It picked up Li Qianxia's long hair, rubbed it on its face with obsession, then carefully packed it with the [stone], [finger], and [small tank top] into its body.

Li Qianxia was disgusted by it.

Although she knew the Octopus Fog Shadow wasn't a pervert who adored hair, just simply loved treasures, but it was, after all, her hair.

She returned to the flying boat and said, "Why do I feel like it's acting? Intentionally acting like it narrowly won to entice opponents to challenge again?"

"No doubt about it, it's definitely acting." Turquoise Pool is a master of acting.

"You have one, I have one, gamble for treasures, winner takes all, willing ones can come to the island." The Octopus Fog Shadow turned back into an NPC, like a Pokémon foolishly wandering in place in a game.

Experiment three, no, experiment four.

Li Qianxia landed on the island again.

"Treasure, treasure!" the Octopus Fog Shadow tapped with a tentacle.

[The ordinary soil clutched in the hand of a cosmic collector before dying]

Experiment: Can you repeatedly come to the island to gamble?

Experiment result: Yes.

"Aba Aba!" Li Qianxia took out even less soil from her Constant Sand World and directly lost the gamble.

Returning, Li Qianxia said, "Since 'skills' can be considered as 'treasures', my brother is sure to win. It's decided, Li Er Gou, use 'Fake Winner State!'

It must be said, this game is extremely tempting to those who truly have treasures.

For instance, Li Changzhou.

Li Changzhou got up and headed toward the small island: "'Fake Winner State' is an unfair victory; if it forces me to that point, I won't take any of its treasures even if I win."

It wasn't arrogance.

He's always been setting his mindset right, must, must, must not treat 'Fake Winner State' as his real strength.

'Fake Winner State' is far beyond expectations, treating it as his strength is extremely detrimental to his development.

The Octopus Fog Shadow came to life once more.

"Treasure, treasure!" Tentacle pointed.

[Ordinary wood clutched by a cosmic collector before dying]

"How many times have you died? Oh, you have eight hands." Li Qianxia started to mock, then realized.

Li Changzhou didn't mean to come slowly; he had no hobby of collecting, nor time to dawdle collecting useless things.

He pointed with a finger.

[A skill of the Primordial Divine Body.]

An S-level skill, "Emotion Control."

In the Octopus Fog Shadow's exclamation and cheers, Li Changzhou pondered: Can "Emotion Control" be paired with [Heavenly Will·Fate].

Both are about character determining fate; in a certain sense, character and emotion can be equated.

"Emotion Control" could also be used as a carrier for [Heavenly Will·Fate].

The Octopus tentacle pointed.

[A private library of a Cosmic Level collector]

"Emotion Control" turned into a capsule drop, within [a private library]'s light sphere was a potted plant, and in the pot was a trumpet flower.

"This is a library?" Li Qianxia found it quite abstract.

Yang Qinglan got a bit interested; a library that can surpass an S-level skill must have an impressive quantity and quality of books.

Li Changzhou also faced the previous problem Li Qianxia had, unable to know the accurate value of the items.

Based on the Octopus Fog Shadow's appraising skill, and its greedy nature, [a private library] should barely trump "Emotion Control."

But no one can say for sure about such things.

Li Changzhou pointed again with a finger.

A skill from the useless Taoist, S-level skill, "Useless Prayer Beads."

[A private library]'s glow extinguished.

The Octopus Fog Shadow didn't cheer this time, seeming very cautious, with its tentacle tapping in the void.

[A cosmic collector's curios]

"Useless Prayer Beads" and [a curios] began flashing simultaneously, like two martial arts masters in a duel, after the final move, seeing who would fall first.

Everyone watched intently.

After a long while, "Useless Prayer Beads" completely extinguished.

[A curios] emerged victorious.

"Whew~" The Octopus Fog Shadow wiped its forehead with a tentacle, as if it had broken out in a cold sweat.

Within the glowing circle of [a curios] was a flute; the flute that beat an S-level skill—what could it do? The four of them were extremely curious.

Li Changzhou was also lost in thought.

[A curios] was evenly matched with "Useless Prayer Beads," but only barely won, evidently also S-level. Compared to the S-level "Teleportation," which has more value?

If he lost, the gamble would end directly; even if he could try again, he might not get S-level "Teleportation" back.

But if he won, relying on S-level "Teleportation," he could win another S-level treasure.

Yet the treasure won, even if it has higher value than "Teleportation," might not be more practical than "Teleportation."

Li Changzhou chose the safest option.

It's not that he's afraid to gamble.

"Teleportation" has been with him for so long, contributing greatly, like an old general; he has feelings for it.

He also has an S-level skill acquired from Turquoise Pool, the "King of Black Fog," which he definitely won't use as a bet.

"Twins," "Emerald Bee Sword," "Life and Death," "King of Black Fog," these four skills or items are real treasures to him.
