Chapter 70: The Special Nature of the Sovereign of Death (Bonus Chapter!)

【Scroll of Destiny】
Legendary Item
Upon use, you will gain a chance to roll the Dice of Destiny.
Rolling a 1: A terrible fate.
Rolling a 2: Nothing happens.
Rolling a 3-6: Favored by good fortune; the higher the roll, the more generous the reward.
(Gambling addict, are you sure you won't roll a 1?)

A legendary item with a one-in-six chance of punishment, a one-in-six chance of nothing happening, and the rest being pure rewards.
To a gambling addict, what difference did these odds have from a hundred-percent win rate?
However, Su Mubai was no gambling addict.
He was a cheater equipped with a system.
Once this scroll fell into his hands, it would become a mythical-grade item, and the punishment outcome might just vanish entirely.
Therefore, when Wealthy All-Hallows produced the parchment scroll, Su Mubai paused in his tracks.
He was very interested in this [Scroll of Destiny].
"How much?"
"Not for sale."
Wealthy All-Hallows smiled and shook his head. "Only given away."
"Given away?"
Su Mubai gave him a deep look, offered no response, and waited quietly for him to continue.
He understood that free things were often the most expensive.
A legendary item being given away for free meant the other party wanted even more in return.
"Brother White Night, I mean no offense. I merely wish to use this opportunity to establish a deep cooperation with you," Wealthy All-Hallows explained.
Initially, he had intended to bring White Night under his command.
Ever since the transaction in the novice village, however, he had known that a person like White Night could never work for others; cooperation was the only option.
Back then, Wealthy All-Hallows still placed himself on the same footing as White Night.
Yet, the subsequent string of system announcements had forced him to change his mind once again.
Soloing an Epic-grade BOSS, prematurely unlocking the mount leaderboard, and acquiring a mythical-grade mount on the very first day of the game.
Every single feat shattered his worldview.
A person like this had to be befriended by any means necessary, even if it meant taking a slight loss himself!
With his own financial resources combined with the other man's formidable strength, they could rapidly gain a foothold in the Forbidden Land of Gods.
Thus led to the scene unfolding before them now.
"Deep cooperation?"
Su Mubai asked with a hint of interest, "Tell me your proposal first."
A sudden thought of recruiting Wealthy All-Hallows crossed his mind.
Though he didn't need a party, having a God of Wealth to rake in money for him didn't sound like a bad idea.
"This is hardly the place to talk. Shall we find an establishment to sit down and discuss the details?"
Wealthy All-Hallows patted his stomach as he spoke. "I haven't eaten a decent meal all day; I might as well take this opportunity to satisfy my appetite."
"Finally, we can have a real feast! Steamed buns reduce hunger, but they taste awful," A-Wei chimed in with brightened eyes, muttering softly to himself.
"Haha, I haven't eaten a bun in ages just to save room for this feast. My hunger level is already at 60 points, so I'm definitely going to stuff myself later," Cotton Candy clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with anticipation for fine food.
Su Mubai paused slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his mind.
Hunger levels?
The Myriad Realms game had this attribute as well?
It suddenly dawned on him that ever since entering the game, he had never eaten a single thing, yet he had never felt any sensation of hunger.
In a realistic game world, this was entirely unreasonable.
The only reason Su Mubai hadn't noticed this issue was because he hadn't consumed any food for a long time prior to entering the game.
A vegetative patient—how could they possibly eat?
He quickly opened his status panel and thoroughly examined it line by line.
Yet, the hunger attribute was completely absent from the panel.
Was it because of the [Lord of Death] class?
A vague hypothesis formed in Su Mubai's mind.
Aside from hunger, there should also be attributes like fatigue.
During the early stages of the game, players with lower attributes still needed to sleep and rest.
This was evident from Wealthy All-Hallows and his companions, whose exhaustion was difficult to conceal.
To escape the novice village as quickly as possible, they certainly hadn't rested at all.
Yet Su Mubai didn't feel even a shred of fatigue!
Seeing that Su Mubai remained silent for a long time, Wealthy All-Hallows prompted him carefully, "I wonder what Brother White Night thinks of this?"
Su Mubai snapped out of his thoughts, closed his panel, and stated, "Cooperation is up for discussion, but it will have to wait until I'm finished with my business."
"No problem, I'm in no rush. I'll hold onto this parchment for Brother White Night; just let me know when you're done," Wealthy All-Hallows smiled and expressed his understanding.
"Alright."
Su Mubai gave a slight nod and turned to leave, but his steps suddenly halted.
Not far away, five flashes of white light signaled the arrival of more players stepping out of the novice village, led precisely by Grand Hegemony and his team.
Grand Hegemony had originally intended to walk forward, but his pupils noticeably constricted upon catching sight of Su Mubai.
He couldn't even see his level?
How on earth did this guy grind his levels?!
For a moment, Grand Hegemony's expression flickered with uncertainty.
After a brief moment of thought, he halted his steps and turned around, preparing to leave immediately.
Before his own talent matured, it was best to stay as far away from this freak as possible.
Now that they had entered the city, the Hegemony Guild's development speed would multiply exponentially.
Once his own strength expanded by then, he would certainly be no less powerful than White Night!
The reason Su Mubai stopped was not because of Grand Hegemony and his group.
Rather, a thought had suddenly crossed his mind.
At this juncture, teams possessing S-rank players should be entering the city one after another.
Could that treacherous pair, Liu Ruyan and Zhao Xu, be among them?
No matter what, he had to wait and see!
If they truly happened to be in this batch of players, it would save him a lot of trouble.
With that thought, Su Mubai's gaze gradually turned icy.
Compared to seeking vengeance, making money could wait.
Sure enough, flashes of white light continued to appear one after another as players materialized in the East Sea City Teleportation Plaza.
Nearly every player with an S-rank talent had established their own party back in the novice village.
Naturally, the members they selected were also holders of A-rank talents.
Even so, this batch of players arriving in East Sea City from various novice villages numbered only a few dozen.
However, these individuals were scattered haphazardly across the sprawling teleportation plaza, making it impossible for Su Mubai to survey everyone at once.
Seeing players already beginning to disperse and leave from all directions, Su Mubai's heart stirred.
Accompanied by the Shroud of Death, the Undead Legion descended in a scattered formation, swiftly surrounding the teleportation plaza.
The deception of the past years, the brutality of the car accident, the helplessness of being a vegetative patient, and the suffocating despair before entering the game were all as fresh in his memory as ever!
The flames of hatred surged to their peak, causing Su Mubai to completely disregard the feelings of other players.
His formidable strength was the capital that allowed him to act as he pleased.
The existence of the [East Sea Token] allowed him to encircle the teleportation plaza without any restraint.
They wanted to leave? They could, but only after he confirmed whether that treacherous couple was present or not!
