Mingxi nearly knelt.
Oh, ancestors!
If you keep this up, our family of eight will probably have to compensate the Gambling Stone Building!
"...Come back," Mingxi said, her head aching, wishing she could slap herself. "I told you to be quiet. Look at the mess you've made."
"Oh, right, send the Rock Demon King back."
Although Bright Crystal sensed a strange low pressure from her, it didn't feel any dislike or dissatisfaction directed towards itself.
So, it powerfully threw a punch, sending the submissive Rock Demon King beside it back to where it came from, then confidently walked back to Mingxi with its hands in its pockets.
"Guwo?"
I performed pretty well, didn't I?
What could Mingxi say? Of course, she gave it a thumbs up.
"Excellent, I just didn't expect you to learn two skills at once just now, so I made a mistake in my command."
Regardless, Bright Crystal did follow her instructions; it just didn't expect the other skill it awakened to be so destructive.
"Master, Gu Guai Zhen Guan should have triggered a probabilistic special Supporting facilities skill awakening because it used the Optimum Solution for the first time. This skill of its should be Devouring the Heavens and Earth."
Guangguang had also recovered from the shock and began its small science class.
"Devouring the Heavens and Earth, in terms of classification, should belong to the Ground-type. For Gu Guai Zhen Guan to awaken it is very..." It deliberated for a while before settling on the appropriate word.
"Very incredible."
"Don't let the Domineering name of Devouring the Heavens and Earth fool you; its strength is really hard to say.
Its rank is not fixed; not the kind that can evolve, but a skill whose rank is determined by the individual circumstances of the Transcendent creature. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Some Transcendent creatures awaken a low-level Devouring the Heavens and Earth, whose power is only enough to swallow two mouthfuls of concrete.
While some Transcendent creatures awaken a God Rank Devouring the Heavens and Earth, that is the true Devouring the Heavens and Earth."
Mingxi actually knew about this skill too.
The rank of the Devouring the Heavens and Earth skill is entirely a matter of luck.
"Can you ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) determine the rank of the Devouring the Heavens and Earth that Bright Crystal awakened?"
"At least Earth Rank, and there's a very high possibility it's Heaven Rank." Guangguang's tone was very certain. From the destructive power Bright Crystal caused in a short time just now, the rank of Devouring the Heavens and Earth would definitely not be low!
Although it certainly isn't God Rank.
God Rank skills are basically extinct these days.
God Rank and God-level are hard to come by.
The only one it had seen half of in this world was the Heavenly Wind Seated Skill Stone that Ming Ye Yu Huang absorbed before.
That was still a Skill Stone.
Even with Ming Ye Yu Huang's extraordinary talent, the possibility of truly replicating Heavenly Wind Seated is probably not high.
Mingxi didn't know Guangguang's thoughts. She let out a long sigh of relief. Among misfortunes, this was a great fortune. Compared to a suspected Heaven Rank skill, what was this mess in front of her?
Mingxi expressed no fear.
"Miss Mingxi, what about this...?"
Zhou Li'an and the blonde Manager who rushed over from the second floor looked at Mingxi and the Gu Guai Zhen Guan that had quickly climbed onto her head, both speechless and helpless.
"I'll pay!"
She caused the incident, so she definitely had to compensate.
Bright Crystal had clearly hit Lucky Red just now, succeeding in 3 Skill Stones. Mingxi had Bright Crystal pick out the other two and put them away, not using them as compensation.
Because they not only destroyed this private room but also a skill table downstairs, an office upstairs, and the beginner Skill Stone Headbutt on the table.
Upon learning that the Headbutt Skill Stone was also sucked in by Bright Crystal, Mingxi could only say—fate is truly destined!
With this trend, Mingxi once again felt that if she couldn't learn Headbutt, she really wasn't worthy of being a part of this family.
Then Mingxi lost 8.9 billion star coins.
"...We priced all twelve Skill Stones for you according to market price. Other losses, including buildings, verification rooms, etc., are actually fine. The real large sum is the emotional compensation for some guests on the first floor. We hope you can understand."
Mingxi had nothing to say and paid the money very straightforwardly.
Nearly ten billion in compensation, isn't that exaggerated? But in reality, the cost of that verification room alone was over 3 billion.
Do you really think such Advanced Level spatial tools are easy to acquire?
The Gambling Stone Building was already very kind. Not only did they not use gambling stone rules to make her compensate for their lost Skill Stones, but they also didn't pursue losses affecting their subsequent business.
Mingxi even felt that their attitude in handling this matter was a bit strange.
Were they too easy to talk to?
This was not the usual conduct of merchants.
"Miss Mingxi, let's be frank. Are you here today to enter our Treasure Collection Room again?"
In the reception room, after everyone else had left, Zhou Li'an suddenly said this.
Mingxi was surprised for a second, then looked up at him, "What if I am? What if I'm not?"
"If you are, then I can directly lead you there, on the condition that we stop here today and you cannot continue gambling stones. How about it?"
Zhou Li'an looked at Mingxi with an expression that seemed to say, 'I'm truly afraid of you, and I'm willing to pay a heavy price to send this plague away quickly.'
But Mingxi always felt something was off.
Even if she messed up every private room on the second floor, according to the gambling stone rules for Advanced Level skill platforms, she wouldn't actually lose too many Skill Stones.
Were they afraid that other guests would all flock to bet on Lucky Red? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But based on her understanding of the Gambling Stone Building's Treasure Collection Room, every Skill Stone inside was priceless, possibly even far exceeding their daily turnover.
So, what was the meaning of Zhou Li'an doing this?
Or was he just thinking that if they continued gambling stones, they would definitely open another easter egg, so it would be better to just send them away with the Treasure Collection Room?
And he only restricted them for today.
Mingxi couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
She had already observed all the private rooms on the second floor just now, and there really weren't many skills that everyone liked.
So it wasn't impossible not to continue, but...
"Manager Zhou, there's a saying: 'No good deed goes unpunished.' You wouldn't be unaware of that, and your attitude is not how one does business."
Zhou Li'an sighed, "I know Miss Ming's concerns, but frankly, we are indeed afraid of you and your pet beast, especially Lord Luo Jingtian. I heard it once awakened the Lucky Star Fate."
As he spoke, he glanced at the small figure that insisted on squeezing into the gap between the fish and Mingxi's head.
He paused for a moment on the Star Fate, of which only one was left behind it, before continuing:
"Now that the Lucky Star Fate has entered its body, it should have received a blessing. The blessing of Lucky Star Fate mostly directly enhances the individual's luck."
"Coupled with Lord Luo Jingtian's performance last time, I think the possibility of you opening another easter egg is very high."
He didn't say the rest.
Knowing Mingxi understood his meaning.
But, was it really because Little Silver Flower was too lucky?
Mingxi still felt there was something fishy about this, no matter how she thought about it.
