Unavoidable Fate

The final duel ended in an outrageous way.

Under the audience's curses, Shen Fei left the arena with a shocked and wronged expression.

As he walked out with the support of the security guards, he shouted, "Where are my blood-qi points? I lost 8 blood-qi points! There's something wrong with your venue! There's a ghost!"

His voice was filled with an incomprehensible emotion, making him look more like a deranged person.

As a result, the audience found something to laugh about again, and they chatted and laughed as they left the arena.

"It can't be that Shen Fei was scared silly by the fierce beast, right? Why is he saying that his blood-qi points have been stolen? I've never heard of such a thing in my entire life!"

"Exactly. Is there even someone in this world who can steal blood-qi points? It's probably because he can't beat the beast, so he's deliberately finding an excuse, huh?"

"Ah, that's understandable. After all, the fierce beast is three meters tall. Who wouldn't be afraid?"

When the conversation reached Su Chen's ears, he only smiled and did not speak.

Everyone who passed by his property would have their blood-qi points deducted, and those deducted blood-qi points would be lost forever.

On the other hand, the talents that Monopoly stole were only a copy of the original talents with similar abilities, but at the initial level that had never been cultivated.

Even so, Su Chen was satisfied.

He had obtained 24 blood-qi points just by watching the show and laughing. Why would he ask for more?

After leaving the arena, Su Chen returned to his dormitory.

On the way, he met some people he knew.

Some congratulated him with fake smiles, looking forward to him making money and helping them.

Some couldn't figure out how someone like him could also awaken a talent and were thus jealous, cursing him behind his back.

Familiar figures passed by Su Chen one by one, and their voices passed by his ears. However, he did not care. He even wanted to laugh.

No one knew about the abilities he had obtained! No one knew that he had a talent that could steal blood-qi points!

Looking at the people who were talking about him, Su Chen was even looking forward to reaching a bar or some real estate property on the map tomorrow.

Then, he would be a deal-hunter and ruthlessly take advantage of his schoolmates, whether they were sincere or not!

That night, Su Chen slept exceptionally well. He even dreamed of him buying all the real estate in the city through Monopoly.

The creatures of the entire world, whether it was humans, the myriad races, or even foreign gods, as long as they passed by his property, they would all have to stop and let him take advantage of them!

The next morning, Su Chen woke up before the alarm rang.

He sat on the bed in high spirits, and the map of Binhai City appeared before him.

Su Chen caught the two dice that appeared out of thin air and excitedly threw them before staring at them roll.

The die spun for a while before they stopped. One was a three and the other was a four.

This meant that the number of steps he could take was seven.

The pawn on the map set off from the arena and skipped forward seven steps.

On the way, they passed by a convenience store, a sauna, a KTV..... In the end, the pawn stopped on "Fate".

Fate?

Su Chen looked at the new term in confusion, and new knowledge appeared in his mind.

"Fate" was the name of a new rule.

It represented an opportunity to trigger a special event. It also meant that Su Chen would trigger a new "Fate" today.

At the same time, a large number of "?", "!", "X", and other symbols also appeared on the Monopoly map.

Each symbol represented a different meaning.

From what Su Chen knew now, "!" represented "Hope".

Or perhaps, it could be understood as a mission.

He could choose to accept a mission, complete it, and obtain the reward.

Or, he could just ignore and skip it altogether. It would not affect anything.

However, Su Chen had drawn a "?" symbol, which was "Fate". It would show something that was destined to happen in his life.

Whether he chose to accept his fate or escape, it would still inevitably happen.

It sounded quite mysterious, yet it would be something that Su Chen would really encounter.

With a nervous heart, he clicked on the "?" symbol with trembling hands.

At the same time, a dialog box appeared in front of him.

[On the 20th of June, the weeping corpse bird will summon its companions to attack the arena. At that time, the tide of weeping corpse birds that cover the sky will kill everyone in the arena indiscriminately. The host will die on the 20th of June!]

Looking at the contents of the dialog box, Su Chen realized that it was a shock.

It was a shock completely different from the last time when he obtained the arena and took advantage of others!

"Weeping corpse bird... It's the beast that was used for fun in the arena yesterday!" Su Chen remembered that he had even obtained 10 blood-qi points and a talent skill from the weeping corpse bird yesterday.

According to the host's introduction yesterday, the weeping corpse bird was rated A-grade because it knew how to fight in teams.

In the beginning, Su Chen did not think much of it. He was just curious. Since the weeping corpse bird knew how to fight in teams, how did they catch this one?

Seeing the "Fate" notification that was exceptionally threatening now, Su Chen only felt a chill run down his spine.

The humans had underestimated the unity of the weeping corpse birds and only wanted to capture one as a toy for fun, which was why they had attracted the counterattack of the weeping corpse bird army.

At that time, the entire arena would pay for the price of capturing that weeping corpse bird.

Everyone in the arena would be slaughtered!

If no one came to stop it, the entire Binhai City would be in turmoil.

At this time, although humans already had some initial defensive abilities, that was on the premise that the defense could be set up in advance!

If the weeping corpse bird army arrived suddenly, the human defense unit would not have any ability to defend themselves!

All the border guards would become the sacrificial lambs for the weeping corpse bird army!

If the human defense unit failed to defend against the invasion of the weeping corpse birds, he would definitely lose his life as well!

So this was Fate?

Su Chen felt weak.

It was a kind of frustration in the knowledge that he could not resist Fate. It was a kind of despair in the face of something that seemed unchangeable even if he knew the outcome!

This was "Fate"!

Before opening it, no one would know whether it would be a surprise or a shock!

The content of the dialog box had not ended. Su Chen raised his trembling finger and continued to tap down.

[Host, do you want to defy the heavens and change your fate?]

Defy the heavens and change his fate?

Su Chen's eyes lit up!

To him, these words were like a beam of light in the dark night!

It was a beam of light that had appeared in the night filled with beasts and could drive away all beasts before a young man who had just awakened his talent and had unlimited possibilities!

Su Chen did not hesitate and subconsciously replied, "Yes! I want to defy the heavens and change my fate!"

The contents of the dialog box continued.

[Kill the weeping corpse bird in the arena and render it unable to call for its companions. At the same time, inform the upper echelons of the human race about the beast tide and prevent the disaster from happening! This is the only way to survive, and the only way to defy the heavens and change fate! This is Fate!]

After the last few words appeared, the dialog box also slowly faded until it disappeared.

Su Chen clenched his fists and looked ahead with empty eyes.

His spiritual sense seemed to still be in shock due to the terrifying Fate, but he already had some decisions in his heart.

It was about what he should do next!

Su Chen took a deep breath. As he exhaled the turbid air in his body, he also made a decision.

He would go to the arena to kill the weeping corpse bird and stop it from calling for its companions!

He would inform the higher-ups of the human race about the beast tide so that they could be prepared to fight back!

He would stop this tragedy from happening!

He would defy the heavens and change his fate!
