Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 764

Chapter 754 I Will Definitely Win Three Games with You

The things Mike took out looked like handicrafts that could only be made by an apprentice craftsman, without any artistic atmosphere.

The only thing he could show off about the white porcelain cat sculpture was probably the overall outline.

It looked a bit cold and arrogant.

“Haha, Thor, from the look on your face, I know you are a little disappointed with it, right?” Matt smiled mysteriously, not seeming surprised by Thor’s performance.

He stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Thor twice, “This is the first advice given to you by an elder who has been doing business outside for more than ten years: Never be blinded by the superficiality of things.”

He put the white porcelain kitten on the dining table and gently touched the kitten’s head with his hand.

“I will demonstrate it to you in person now.” Mike took out a regular dodecahedron dice again, “You know dice? Let’s throw it randomly to compare the size. I just touched the cat god and received a short blessing. In the next three games, I will definitely be able to beat you.”

After speaking, Mike stretched out his hand to Thor, motioning him to go first.

Thor picked up the dice and thought, “Is Mike a con man or a skilled gambler?”

He didn’t control his strength and casually threw the dice into the plate Mike had prepared.

The number on the dice facing up was 10.

This was already a very large number.

Mike smiled confidently, picked up the dice, and threw it casually.

The dice hit the plate, making a crisp sound.

When the dice stopped again, the number on the top was 11.

Just a little more than Thor’s.

Thor didn’t say anything, picked up the dice and threw it again.

This time it was 6.

Mike also threw it casually.

The dice drew an arc in the air, and when it stopped, it was 8.

Mike looked up at Thor, “I have already won two games from you, right?” Thor

crossed his arms and stretched out a finger to point at the dice on the plate.

“You go first this time.”

Mike raised his eyebrows and smiled slyly, as if to say, “I already know what you are thinking.”

But he didn’t refuse, still picked up the dice and threw it casually.

This time he threw an 11.

A fairly large number, but not the highest number.

Thor reached out and pinched the dice.

He felt the texture of the dice with his fingers, and did not find any interlayer inside.

It seemed that the other party’s dice throwing technique was very delicate.

But Thor was not afraid. With his control over his muscles, he could throw any number he wanted.

He flicked his middle finger lightly, and the dice flew out. It landed on the plate with a “ding” sound and began to spin.

When the rotation was about to stop, the two could already see that the top of the dice was 12.

However, just when the dice was about to stop, the entire airship suddenly trembled and instantly fell down about half a meter.

“Don’t worry, sometimes air currents or flying birds will cause the airship to vibrate. Nothing will happen.” Mike was very calm, and he did not even look at the dice on the plate.

Thor shifted his gaze from Mike’s calm face to the plate on the table.

Because of the vibration just now, the dice on the plate instantly changed from 12 points, which were about to stop, to 9 points!

Thor looked at Mike again, who hadn’t moved at all.

Finally, he looked at the white porcelain kitten sitting quietly on the table.

“Luck is like this, hard to explain, but it does exist.” Mike leaned back and smiled even more proudly, “People used to say that luck favors those who are prepared. But some people prepare their whole lives but never see luck favor them once.”

He leaned forward again, resting his elbows on his back, fingers crossed, resting on his chin, “And today you have a chance to buy your luck directly.”

“How much?” Sol asked bluntly.

Mike’s mouth, which was blocked by his fingers, curled up.

He could tell from the last time Sol threw the dice that the young man in front of him had some skills.

But the more capable a person is, the more likely they are to fall into another extreme after failing in something they are sure of.

They will inexplicably believe in the opportunity that overcomes their own ability.

Even if that opportunity seems extremely ridiculous.

“Since you are so happy, I won’t keep you in suspense. Twenty thousand silver coins, or twenty magic crystals.”

Thor raised his eyebrows, “You also accept magic crystals?”

“Of course. We are all people who go to Sky City to make a living. Don’t tell me you don’t have magic crystals prepared.”

“Yes, I do, but I need to think about it. This amount of money… is too much.”

“Of course.” Mike nodded first, but then reminded Thor, “But Thor, good luck won’t always stay there waiting for you. If you can’t make up your mind before the airship arrives in Sky City, I can only give up this deal.”

After Thor returned to the room, Kate, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn’t help but speak: “I think this man is an experienced liar. That white porcelain kitten is ugly, and there is no magic fluctuation at all, and he actually wanted to cheat you out of twenty magic crystals. If we are really just ordinary people, then twenty magic crystals are basically a lifetime savings.”

“But he did beat me three times.” Thor thoughtfully, “and the last accident is not something an ordinary person like him can do.”

“Lord Thor, I can tell you don’t often deal with people like this.” Kate licked her cat’s paw. “People like Mike, even if they don’t encounter the vibration of the airship, will definitely have other ways to interfere with your dice. And did you notice the time limit he gave you to consider? Why before the airship arrives at the port? Because as long as you complete the transaction, he will leave the airship immediately, and then you will never find him again! Of course, this is only based on the premise that you are just an ordinary person.”

“That makes sense.” Thor nodded, “So I plan to go over tonight to see the ceramic kitten.”

“Tonight?” Kate blurted out, “How to see it?”

Thor drew a wavy line in the air with his hand, “Float over.”

Kate’s beard trembled, “…As long as you are happy.”

…

That night, Thor lay on the narrow bed and completed an out-of-body experience.

The orange cat sleeping in the chair seemed to sense something, raised one eyelid, and when he saw Thor was still in bed, he closed it again.

It was still mumbling in its mouth, “I knew you wouldn’t go.”

Thor didn’t wake Kate up, and floated up directly.

He quickly came to the upper floor, and after passing through several walls, he finally came to Mike’s room.

Today during the day, when the airship was vibrating, he vaguely felt a spiritual force.

But that spiritual force was very special, a spiritual force fluctuation he had never seen before.

It was fast and weak.

It was like fluff floating in the catkins, making it impossible to tell the difference between it and the wind.

Thor decided to change to an out-of-body state, where he was more sensitive to spiritual bodies, and go over to check on the white porcelain kitten again.

He believed that in this state, as long as the white porcelain kitten produced the slightest fluctuation, he would be able to sense it.

However, when Thor passed through the last wall and came to Mike’s room, he was silent.

Because Mike… is dead.

He sat on a chair, bent over, face down.

Drowned in the wash water in the basin that was less than three centimeters deep.

At his feet, the white porcelain kitten that Mike had carefully kept during the day fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
