Chapter 2803: Basking in Good Fortune
Tianli cleared his throat twice and said:
(｡･ˇกˇ･) "Respected elders, please send one representative from your race to leave your own aura on the Dahuang Star Disk, forming your race's starlight!"
"The Star Disk will randomly assign two starlights to the same area, which means that in the upcoming promotion matches, those two races will be opponents!"
"The Star Disk grouping will only be done once. No matter the result, you must accept it and cannot go back on your word!"
"Any questions?"
No one answered. Qianli snorted coldly, stepped forward, gathered Bose particles, and was about to strike the Dahuang Star Disk!
Jiangnan suddenly raised his hand: (ﾟ～ﾟ)ﾂ "Wait!"
Qianli: !!!
(￢益￢ꐦ) "What do you want now? I already said there's no trap! Are you afraid that leaving your aura on the Dahuang Star Disk will cause something bad to happen, or that my Bose race will use this to threaten you or something?"
"This Dahuang Star Disk doesn't even have a physical form—how could it cause trouble? Everyone here is a Star Devourer. If you could be tricked so easily, that would be fine!"
[From Qianli: Resentment +1010!]
[From Qianli...]
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you so nervous? You just blurted it all out yourself!"
"'How could it cause trouble?'—does that mean you do have a plan to cause trouble?"
But all the Star Devourers became vigilant. Right? Leaving your aura? Can you just casually do that?
What if there's a trap?
Qianli rolled his eyes in anger:
(꒪ั益꒪ัꐦ) "There isn't! What exactly do you want to say?"
Jiangnan grinned:
(˵ಡ̫ಡ˵) "Hey, don't make things so tense, everyone! Random grouping, all based on luck? That doesn't even exist, okay?"
"Look over here? What's this?"
With that, he grabbed Qing Ke and lifted her up to sit on his shoulders!
Qing Ke: (°﹏°ོ) Huh?
A blazing will-fire enveloped Qing Ke, making her glow like a divine sun!
Jiangnan: (๑ớꇴờ)ھ "Ta-da~ The Child of Destiny! With a Child of Destiny here, there's no such thing as randomness. We're guaranteed to win, right?"
"Everyone! You don't want to be randomly assigned by the Dahuang Star Disk as opponents for people like the Bose or Silicon, just to be farmed for experience, right? Although you don't want it, there will always be a few unlucky ones, right?"
"So this is where the importance of luck comes in!"
At this moment, the Star Devourers of all races couldn't help but swallow.
Indeed, no one wants to be matched against a strong opponent. If they lose, they not only miss out on promotion reward points but also lose their qualification to advance.
Even if they have the right to challenge, they need to bet their own points.
If they can directly advance by winning, who wouldn't want that?
Who hasn't heard of the reputation of the Child of Destiny?
Silicon Lord narrowed his eyes: [┐￢益￢┌] "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Jiangnan chuckled slyly:
(͡°ꇴ͡°)✧ "To give back to our new and old customers, the Carbon Alliance is now offering a limited-time 'Basking in Good Fortune' service!"
"By paying just a tiny price, you get the chance to shake hands with the Child of Destiny, Qing Ke, get close contact, and receive good luck buffs!"
"What are you waiting for? Act now! Come shake hands~"
Qing Ke: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Huh?
I... I have this kind of use?
Hearing Jiangnan say this, the Star Devourers who were members of the Carbon Alliance could no longer hold back!
The Star Devourer big shots ran over one after another to shake hands with Qing Ke, high-five her, and even rub her little face~
Since they were their own people, Jiangnan naturally didn't charge them anything.
But Qing Ke was stunned. She had never been in such close contact with so many Star Devourer big shots in her entire life!
Does this actually work?
Can luck really be washed away?
Why did she feel like her own luck hadn't decreased at all?
However, aside from the Carbon Alliance members, the other races didn't move at all.
Jiangnan's smile gradually turned devilish:
(΄◞ิ⥎◟ิ‵) "Hey hey hey~ No one's giving face, huh? All my Carbon Alliance members have already soaked up some good luck, so our grouping results will definitely be great~"
"But for those of you who haven't soaked up any, hehehe—I really wonder which unlucky kid will end up being ganged up on by the Vivian Star Devourer formation~"
"It's bound to be one of you!"
As soon as he said that, the Matter Alliance members started to get restless.
Is this... even if they die, they don't want to face over a hundred Star Devourers ganging up on them, right?
Chu Yang of the Chaos race snorted coldly:
꒰⸝⸝￢益￢ꐦ⸝⸝꒱ "Just a handshake? What kind of luck can you get from that? Stop trying to fool people..."
"A disgraceful clown, don't waste everyone's time. Let's start!"
Jiangnan curled his lip: (︶✔︶*) "Believe what you want. Don't cry when you get beaten later!"
"Anyone else want to bask in some good fortune? Special offer!"
The Star Mirror race's Jinghua Yue swallowed.
(๑◔﹏◔ิ) "How... how much does it cost for one handshake?"
Jiangnan smiled sweetly:
(ʃƪ⌒◡⌒) "Three rich mining areas. If you don't have that, you can pay in Star Source points or slave breeds, that works too!"
Jinghua Yue's eyes widened:
∑(°口°๑) "Ha! Just for a handshake? Why don't you just rob us?"
That's already a huge expense for a Star Devourer!
Jiangnan looked up: (〃˘～˘) "Hmph~ Maybe it's not worth much normally, but everything is about timing. Are you buying or not?"
Jinghua Yue closed her eyes:
(︶益︶ꐦ) "Pfft! Who would spend that much money to buy a handshake opportunity? Not buying!"
Jiangnan immediately said: (◦`~´◦) "Quick! Qing Ke! Curse her—make it so the Star Mirror race draws the Bose, Silicon, Dark Cosmos, or even humans in the next lottery!"
Qing Ke: (•́ω•̀٥) ???
Huh? If you don't buy, you get cursed?
(ོ◔◠◔ิ) "O... okay, do I need to use a Word Spirit curse?"
"No, just curse casually is fine. Under random conditions, if you curse them, they'll definitely be unlucky."
Qing Ke mustered her courage, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her cheeks!
(ོ◦`~´◦ོ) "Hmph~ I curse you to have bad luck!"
Jinghua Yue: !!!
(ꐦథ益థ)☛ "You... you can't do that! Take it back! Tell her to take that back!"
Jiangnan tilted his head:
(˵ಡ▿ಡ) "Can't take it back. Unless you buy the 'Basking in Good Fortune' package to offset it, otherwise you'll be eliminated in the loss!"
[From Jinghua Yue: Resentment +1007!]
[From Jinghua Yue...]
With something like this, it's better to believe it exists than not, right? What if... what if she really gets unlucky and draws the Bose or humans?
(︶益︶〃) "Fine! I'll buy it!"
In a fit of anger, Jinghua Yue reluctantly paid up. Ai Jiang received a huge amount of assets on the other end.
Then Jinghua Yue ran over and shook hands with Qing Ke...
Once she grabbed it, she wouldn't let go! She even started rubbing on it!
Jiangnan glared: (｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "That's enough, let go!"
Jinghua Yue gritted her teeth:
(*꒦ິ皿꒦ີ) "I already spent the money! Can't I hold on a little longer? I have to offset the curse just now, right?"
In the end, Jinghua Yue, with a heavy heart, finally let go of Qing Ke's little hand.
So I'm the fool after all!
I spent so much money and didn't even hear a sound!
"Anyone else want to shake? Limited slots, you know. We have to leave a few unlucky ones, right?"
Du Lulu of the Lumu race gritted her teeth:
(٥ﾟ～ﾟ)ﾂ "Me! I'll buy one too!"
Just give it a try. If it works, great!
If it doesn't work, I won't buy next time!
Consider it a lesson bought with money!
In the end, only the Star Mirror and Lumu races ended up as the suckers. The others completely ignored this.
Jiangnan made another fat profit on the side.
Qing Ke guiltily transmitted:
(ོ◔～◔ิ) "Nan Shen? I... I don't feel like my luck has decreased at all? It didn't bless them. Does shaking hands really work?"
Jiangnan said matter-of-factly:
(︶.̮︶*) "Heaven knows if it works. At times like this, what they're buying is just psychological comfort~"
"If the result is good, it's your credit. If it's bad, they're just unlucky. The probability of a good result is still high!"
"If it turns out good, it'll be easier for us to open shop next time!"
Qing Ke: ???
(ོ◔﹏◔ิ) "They gave us money, but I didn't bless them. This... this isn't scamming?"
"Scamming is bad!"
Jiangnan shook his head: (งᵒ̌～ᵒ̌)ง "Nonsense! How can this be called scamming? At least we sold them some psychological comfort, right?"
Qing Ke covered her face. Psychological comfort can be sold for money?
Whatever makes you happy, I guess?
Chu Yang sneered: ꒰⸝⸝￢_￢⸝⸝꒱ "Hah~ Nonsense! Luck? There really are fools willing to spend money on that?"
With that, he injected his aura into the Dahuang Star Disk. Others followed suit, and the Star Devourers of each race left their auras, forming racial starlights.
With a look of deep mystery, Jiangnan also threw his in.
On the Dahuang Star Disk, a burst of starlight lit up. The starlight representing each race flickered wildly on the disk, shuffling in complete disorder!
Everyone's hearts tightened. They were all praying not to encounter a tough opponent.
Finally, the starlight stopped. Two starlights formed a group, staying in 16 areas.
As soon as the result came out, Jinghua Yue's face flushed red. She clenched her fist and pumped it hard!
٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و "Great!"
The result showed that the Star Mirror race's opponent was the Carbon Silk race!
Against Carbon Silk's Ye Chou, she was confident she could win!
Even if they were both in the Matter Alliance, winning was what mattered most at this moment!
Du Lulu also got excited:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "No way? It really works?"
The Lumu race would fight the Anti-Matter entity!
Lumu can absorb physical and energy impacts. Against Anti-Matter's Wu Zao, they still had a good chance!
The money was definitely not wasted!
As soon as the result came out, it could be said that some rejoiced while others worried.
Now, Chu Yang and Ji Ran of the Chaos race both turned green. On the Dahuang Star Disk,
the Chaos race's starlight happened to fall in the same area as the humans!
That meant the two of them would have to compete against the human Star Devourer team!
Jiangnan, Jiang Fan, Akili, Chong Feiyu, and Vivian all broke into smiles,
staring at the two with red eyes!
(ꐦ͡’ꇴ͡’) "You have to admit, fate is sometimes quite wonderful... isn't it, you two?"
Both of their faces turned pale!
Damn! How did they get so unlucky?
They didn't even say anything like "Just wait, don't run into us during the peak war!" or set any flags!
Why did this happen?
The 32-to-16 specific match list is as follows!
