Chapter 1546
Chapter 1546: Today’s Myriad Star Path isn’t all that annoying.
At lunchtime, Monroe Gina also returned from the outside world.
A satisfied smile hung on her face, which was hidden beneath a veil.
Clearly, today she had once again touched even more people with her web of karma.
War inevitably causes chaos.
Chaos breeds desire.
As long as she bestowed the cause upon others, she would eventually reap the fruit of the future.
Monroe Gina pushed open the door of the bowling alley, and upon seeing Ye Qiyan, she casually removed her veil.
“Long time no see, Brother Ye.”
“It hasn’t been that long, has it? Back when we were in Arcane Academy City?”
“My previous stop took nine months to complete the conquest, though compared to the wilderness, it was only five days.”
She walked over to sit opposite Ye Qiyan and looked him up and down.
“Hmm, no injuries, just like the last time we met.”
As she spoke, Monroe Gina gently tapped her sword-cane, and immediately, a brocade box flew out from the gem on the sword-cane.
“A gift for you. It should be enough for me to downgrade another chain.”
Ye Qiyan did not refuse Monroe Gina’s gift.
Because of [Karma].
Her gift was essentially a reasonable transaction and would not affect his upgrade options.
“A gift? I accept it. By the way, how many chains are left?”
Monroe Gina blinked.
“Still twelve, oh, none have decreased.”
She took out all of her Ritual Card.
[Karma Repayment] [Endless Karma] [Purification] [Riotous Sound of Strings] [Past of Humanity] [Question] … [Ritual Card: Secret of Endless Life]
These Ritual Card totaled twelve.
The first six were already known to Ye Qiyan beforehand.
“Twelve of them?”
“Yes, I already possess twelve Ritual Card, right at my previous stop.
I originally could have left long ago, but I suddenly discovered the trace of this card, and it took quite a bit of time to find the key to the barrier.”
Her fingers twirled a lock of hair scattered over her shoulders, and she smiled craftily.
“So, this is already the second question.”
That Ritual Card named [Question].
It was precisely the one she had used when she first met Monroe Gina.
The effect of this card was to let others ask her three questions, and based on the answers, obtain rewards directly condensed by this card.
Occasionally, when Ye Qiyan and Monroe Gina conversed in the private chat interface, she would also always use this Ritual Card, conveniently acquiring some Train Coins.
“As for the third question…”
Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, looking at Zhao Lin, who was deep in thought sitting on the bed nearby, and Myriad Star Path, who was sitting opposite the hot pot table, mixing several different drinks together and handing them to Zhao Lin with an evil smile.
“Is this incident in the Kingdom of Order really just like this?”
“Of course not.”
That [Ritual Card: Question] hovered above the sword-cane, glowing slightly.
“I’ve already heard outside that Brother Ye, you stopped Lu Jiayun from assassinating Mowen, but I feel that the City Lord of the City of a Thousand Stars
doesn’t only have this one method.
Nor did he start this war between humans and the Zerg solely to kill Mowen.
If it were just to kill Mowen, all he had to do was adjust the consciousness of the girl named Xiao Ai and throw her directly in front of Mowen; if you hadn’t been there, Mowen would already be dead.
But Lu Jiayun chose to do something redundant: he completely erased the girl’s life existence and threw her in front of you.
Was it to pin Mowen’s death on you?
No, if Mowen didn’t die, it would be utterly unacceptable to him. For this purpose, Lu Jiayun would never have temporarily changed his mind to include you in the plan.”
“You mean, saving that girl was also part of Lu Jiayun’s plan?”
Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow, his fingers plucking at a [string] that only he could see.
As long as he used [Demon Card: Override] to sever this string, she, who was weak and no different from an ordinary person, would instantly shatter together with her consciousness, body, soul, and even her existence.
Monroe Gina shook her head.
“No, I just feel that, Brother Ye, your appearance is essentially an accident.
On that path.
You activated [Arrogance], didn’t you.”
Ye Qiyan’s fingers stopped.
Indeed they did.
During the process of having Lisette drive him to the bowling alley, he had kept [Arrogance] activated the entire time, not wanting anyone to disturb him.
“So my appearance was an accident, an accident that caused Lu Jiayun’s plan to fail. Lisette didn’t notice that girl, and when Lu Jiayun dropped off that girl, he similarly didn’t notice my existence.
Heh…
Looking at it this way, I’m quite lucky after all, being able to make that Lu Jiayun slightly unhappy just on the way traveling… Hmm?”
Ye Qiyan silently looked at Zhao Lin. Zhao Lin had also been choked by Myriad Star Path’s secret special blend, snapping out of her deep thought, and when she raised her head, her eyes met his directly.
“Heh… Hehe, after I knew that Brother Qiyan had entered the Kingdom of Order, I wished you good luck…”
“…”
So that was it.
What happened earlier was indeed good luck for him.
The third question concluded.
From within that [Ritual Card: Question], a small pile of Train Coins directly spat out.
“Twelve coins. It seems this question was indeed very valuable.”
Not many; considering the inherent value of these questions, twelve Train Coins amounted to nothing at all.
This Ritual Card named [Question] was essentially an economic Card Series similar to his [Wealth].
The biggest difference between it and [Wealth] was actually not the amount of Train Coins obtained.
Rather, its Train Coins were not inherently fixed, though the number of Train Coins it could obtain in a day was large; as long as one kept answering, that was fine.
As for [Wealth], it was purely five coins per day, no more, no less.
“~Don’t always chat about such things while eating, as for that guy named Lu Jiayun, what does he want to do~ Actually, I know all about it, oh.”
Myriad Star Path smiled mysteriously.
“Do you want to know?”
“Tell me if you want, or don’t.”
Ye Qiyan answered without hesitation.
“Tch~ Such a stingy person. Brother Ye trusts Monroe Gina so much, yet refuses to trust me. It’s so heartbreaking. I actually owe you a favor too, can’t you let me find a way to pay it back?”
Myriad Star Path rubbed her face, gradually putting away that mischievous expression, and lazily stretched.
“Thanks for the treat, Brother Ye, I’m full.
Since you treated me to a meal, then I’ll share a whisper of fate that I heard even before meeting you~”
Myriad Star Path completely shed her previous appearance, becoming earnest, mysterious, and very special.
Galaxies swirled in her eyes, and a calm voice came from her mouth:
“I do not know where the Kingdom of Order will ultimately head.
I only know that dormant lives are quietly awakening.
I only hear the cry of the cold-weather bird lamenting in the wind and snow.
The bell will ring, and The End will come.
This is a destiny that needs no changing.
And what is it that needs to be changed?
I cannot hear it, nor can I see it.
Look forward to it properly.
Until everyone has all arrived at the Kingdom of Order.
Only then can this stop be considered truly begun.
The war between the Zerg and humans is merely an appetizer; what’s truly interesting is not the present.”
Clearly.
This Charlatan had long since foreseen a certain destiny, yet completely failed to figure out what would actually happen.
Destiny has never been a straight line.
Innumerable possibilities carved out new branches on that heavy yet thin river of destiny.
Just as usual, she still spoke of the worst ending.
“Everyone will not die, but they will stagnate.”
How to avoid this ending?
She wouldn’t say, and no one would ask.
Because no matter who it was, they would not accept this fate.
Myriad Star Path was smiling; this time, it was not that giggling laugh, but rather, under this mysterious and calm state, a faint arc hung on her lips.
With the most earnest tone, she uttered words almost similar to every single channel-crowding auction house event:
“No matter what we do, this is our activity requirement for this time. I think nobody wants to stop, right.”
Today’s Myriad Star Path.
Isn’t all that annoying.
