I have a city in another world

Chapter 6802 Hidden Dangers in the Fate Thread

There's clearly something wrong with my own destiny!
Tang Zhen did not suddenly realize this; he had long suspected it, but had not found any evidence.

This journey to the astral realm was far from smooth, filled with twists and turns and a series of deadly dangers.

Although Tang Zhen had prepared himself mentally beforehand, knowing that this mission would inevitably be full of twists and turns.

But after experiencing it firsthand, he felt something was off, as if some invisible force was influencing him.

The force was invisible and intangible, clearly intent on taking Tang Zhen's life, causing him to die on his mission.

Those unexpected events, though seemingly random, were very likely targeted at Tang Zhen.

Before taking action, Tang Zhen used a secret divination technique, which proved that his life was in danger.

More specific information, however, could not be determined.

The events that occurred on this trip proved that the divination was correct. Ever since embarking on the journey to find the deity behind the scenes, the shadow of death has been following us in the dark.

However, Tang Zhen was ruthless and possessed the protection of a powerful being, which enabled him to escape danger when facing death.

The concealment techniques he cultivated also reduced his own presence, causing many enemies to overlook his existence.

If the cultivation technique advances further, it can even influence the gods, causing them to disregard Tang Zhen's existence.

The current effects of the technique can only affect ordinary cultivators. When facing cultivators who are two levels higher than the cultivator, the concealment technique will completely lose its effect.

Tang Zhen possesses a mysterious inheritance and various powerful methods to deal with all kinds of crises.

Even so, the journey was still fraught with danger, and each time the situation was narrowly averted.

Tang Zhen strongly suspected that he was being secretly targeted and that a powerful enemy was attacking him using some means.

This brought him a series of misfortunes and constant brushes with death; if he could not successfully overcome these dangers, losing his life would be inevitable.

The enemy attacking from the shadows is very likely related to what Tang Zhen is investigating, and they are trying every means to prevent him from getting close to the truth.

Little did they know that Tang Zhen was ruthless and had long since noticed the anomaly. He not only remained vigilant at all times but also did his best to resolve any dangers that arose.

He also noticed that his luck seemed to be improving recently.

When faced with situations requiring a gamble, they often achieve excellent results, allowing them to escape danger.

But the source of this luck baffled Tang Zhen; he had no idea where it came from.

While it's true that it's good to be a little confused sometimes, you have to be selective about what's going on. When it concerns your own safety and well-being, you absolutely cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake.

Even if it's something that benefits you, you must understand it clearly.

One of the purposes of coming to this city was to purchase a spaceship, and another was to take the opportunity to conduct tests.

By examining a particular event, we can find a clue and see where luck truly comes from.

Ideally, this is something I can participate in and control.

Upon seeing the Creation Lottery Ticket, Tang Zhen's heart stirred, which led to his previous betting.

The facts prove that his previous judgment was correct; when faced with situations requiring luck, that subtle power would suddenly appear.

Helping Tang Zhen win the grand prize unexpectedly resulted in a huge bonus, making the nobles and wealthy merchants present extremely envious.

Little did they know that Tang Zhen felt no joy whatsoever, but instead became even more serious and earnest.

The rule-breaking tool was indeed extraordinary; it actually detected a slight anomaly, proving Tang Zhen's previous conjecture.

When he tried to lock it, he found it difficult to do so.

The anomaly was fleeting, and then it disappeared without a trace. Even with the rule-breaking artifact in operation, it was still impossible to pinpoint its location.

Tang Zhen was not annoyed, knowing that this situation was quite normal; it would be strange if he could easily lock onto and crack it.

Since that's the case, let's give it another try.

Having made up his mind, Tang Zhen placed another bet, this time using the same winning numbers as before, and betting five million Star Coins.

The onlookers were stunned and puzzled, unable to understand what Tang Zhen was doing. He had just won the grand prize, and now he was choosing the same numbers again—could he really win again?

The same number does have a chance of appearing again, and no one would question that.

But at this moment, no one thought Tang Zhen would win again, and the customers who originally wanted to place bets all gave up their original ideas.

They decided to wait and see how it went.

At this moment, the rich second-generation looked at Tang Zhen with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was doing.

He insisted that the grand prize should have belonged to him, but unfortunately he didn't have the money to buy it, and Tang Zhen ended up winning the opportunity.

Although Tang Zhen won the grand prize, the rich second-generation felt that 90% of the prize money should belong to him.

Leaving Tang Zhen with one-tenth of the yield was already more than enough.

In the following period, he planned to do just that and found someone to negotiate with Tang Zhen.

If Tang Zhen disagrees and is unwilling to hand over the bonus that does not belong to him, then there will be other means.

I never dreamed that Tang Zhen would lock onto the same number and start a second wave of large bets.

That damn bastard! This is all my money, how can he squander it like this?

The rich kid was anxious and immediately wanted to jump out and stop it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, someone next to him slapped him across the face.

"Go away!"

Despite being far away, the rich kid was whipped so hard he rolled on the ground, broken teeth and blood spurting from his mouth.

His face contorted in pain, and when he tried to scream, he found that no sound came out of his mouth.

It turned out that at that moment, a wizard cast a spell, causing him to shut his mouth.

My tongue swelled up like a ball, instantly filling my mouth. At the same time, my hands and feet were sore that I couldn't even stand up.

The rich second-generation was both shocked and furious, wanting to know who was attacking him, but found that he couldn't tell at all.

He was just a mortal, completely ignorant of wizarding methods, and utterly unable to discern who was attacking or plotting against him.

Filled with anger and resentment, with nowhere to vent, he could only collapse to the ground like a sick dog.
I thought that someone would come to my rescue because of my appearance, but I found that no one cared about me at all.

At that moment, it seemed that he had disappeared from everyone's sight and become invisible.

This experience of being ignored, which he had never experienced before, gradually brought the rich second-generation to his senses and made him calm down.

He finally realized how insignificant and petty he was, and how ridiculous his past arrogance now seemed.

At this moment, Tang Zhen, who was in the center of the crowd, became the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at him with a mixture of doubt and admiration, as well as a hint of wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

The lottery shop manager rushed over upon hearing the news; such a big prize was something worth publicizing and celebrating.

For a manager to fail to seize such a promotional opportunity is a sign of extreme incompetence.

But when he arrived at the scene, he found that the atmosphere was a bit strange. After asking carefully, he learned that Tang Zhen had actually placed a bet on the same number again.

Furthermore, the total bet amount reached five million Star Coins.

When the managers heard about this, their first thought was that it was outrageous and that Tang Zhen was squandering money recklessly.

But when he saw Tang Zhen, he changed his mind and showed a thoughtful expression.

Not long ago, he received intelligence through special channels and learned of Tang Zhen's arrival.

This wasn't directed at Tang Zhen, but rather an industry practice; every high-level cultivator who enters the inner city is notified by various sectors.

By studying the other party's personality and preferences and developing a targeted reception plan, you can easily entertain and deal with them once they arrive, making them feel at home as much as possible.

It was truly unexpected that Tang Zhen arrived so quickly and even became the winner of a major prize.

However, judging from the current situation and Tang Zhen's actions, the situation seems to be far more complicated than imagined.
