secret dice.

Chapter 512

"In other words, the monster was still physical at the beginning, and only became virtual after joining the team?" Luo Jun touched his chin: "It really looks like the effect of the Void Pass..."

"Then, shall we go back to that black shop to confirm the situation?" Sun Xiaowei asked.

"No." Yuan Lao shook his head: "The black store is the same as the white store. Once it is opened, it can only exist for an hour. If it appears again, I don't know where it is."

"Anyway, this is an important clue." Luo Jun put away the paper. "Although we don't know what it's useful for now, as we get to know this maze better and better, we'll be able to string all this information together sooner or later!"

As they were talking, Luo Jun's ears moved and he turned to look to the side. He saw a doorway on the left flash and a figure appeared in the round hall.

It was Zhuge Zi. She didn’t look as miserable as Mao Xintong, but she had also lost some weight.

Luo Jun keenly noticed that when the girl first appeared, she was quite tense, with her eyes, movements, and even her aura showing a sense of vigilance. But when she saw the people in the room, she was obviously relieved.

It seems that I haven't been able to relax much in the maze these days.

Zhuge Zi walked closer and his eyes unconsciously looked at the leftover food of Mao Xintong.

"Are you hungry?" Luo Jun greeted enthusiastically, "Come and eat something!" As he said that, he took out another supply.

"Fortunately..." Zhuge Zi was halfway through her words when her stomach suddenly growled.

"You're welcome." Luo Jun laughed, unpacked the supplies and stuffed the food directly into her hands.

Zhuge Zi blushed slightly, said thank you, then sat aside and started eating.

I originally thought that she was a cool and aloof young lady, but now it seems that she might just be shy.

I don’t know if it’s because of her personality or because she wasn’t that hungry, but Zhuge Zi’s eating manners were much more elegant than Mao Xintong’s.

After eating, the girl bowed slightly to the others and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We are just exchanging intelligence from the past few days." Yuan Lao said with a smile, "Talisman paper is limited, so we have to use it sparingly. Now that we have the chance, please tell us in detail."

"My experiences..." Zhuge Zi was silent for a moment: "There's not much worth mentioning. I was able to dodge most monsters and traps with my blink ability. I basically didn't encounter any danger. The biggest problem was still supplies."

"Didn't you find the relics?" Sun Xiaowei asked.

"I found two." Zhuge Zi said, "I used one to exchange for supplies. I was lucky. Most of them were food, enough for a few days. There is another one..."

"You plan to keep the other one as a backup, right?" Mao Xintong nodded and said, "I've already received Elder Yuan's message, so just starve for another day... If I were as lucky as you and found two, I'd probably do the same."

Zhuge Zi shook his head: "No, without any news from Mr. Yuan, I don't plan to exchange it."

"Why is that?" Ma Qiao asked curiously.

"Are you planning to get a hint?" Luo Jun guessed.

The five functions of the relics are to obtain supplies, randomly unlock temporary treasures, randomly teleport, attack, and get hints. In Luo Jun's opinion, the hints are what really help in clearing the level.

He now has seven relics in his hands. As long as he has enough supplies and survival is not a problem, he will try his best to keep the relics for the later stage and use them after collecting enough intelligence.

Because the function of the relic clearly states that it will give you tips based on the current situation. Obviously, it is impossible to give you repeated information that you already know. So the later you use this thing, the better.

"Not really..." Zhuge Zi denied, "If possible, I don't plan to use this relic."

"Huh?" Several people were stunned: "Why?"

Zhuge Zi sighed and took out an antique pocket watch from his pocket. He pressed a button and the lid opened. The pointer inside was still moving. On the other side was a black and white photo of a gentle woman.

"Is this a relic?" Several people were stunned. It was the first time they saw a photo in a relic. "Who is this woman?"

Zhuge Zi looked at the photo and sighed: "It's my grandma..."

"Your grandma?"

Everyone was shocked: "Then the owner of this relic is..."

Zhuge Zi nodded: "It was my grandfather, Zhuge Qian."

Zhuge Qian, the previous patriarch of the Zhuge family and the father of the current patriarch Zhuge Ming, was also a top-level powerful man. He was once an important figure in the Zhendan cultivation world. He should be nearly 90 years old if he were alive today.

"If I remember correctly, Xiao Qianzi never came back after participating in a mission about ten years ago." Old Yuan sighed: "I didn't expect that he would die here..."

"It was also more than ten years ago. Could it be that it was a mission with Caroline?" Ma Qiao felt that he had found a key clue.

"How is it possible..." Mao Xintong glanced at him and said, "Caroline is from the Federation, and Zhuge Qian is from Aurora. How can they do a mission together?"

"Uh..." Ma Qiao looked embarrassed.

"But, we have reached the peak and failed here. Do we really have a chance to get out?" Sun Xiaowei became pessimistic.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Yuan also has peak strength… Just because he couldn’t reach the peak before doesn’t mean we can’t do it either.” Ma Qiao comforted him, and Luo Jun on the side also frowned.

Zhuge Qian died in this maze. This is not good news...

A-level missions would occasionally have peaks enter. It was not surprising that this maze had existed for many years and had trapped peaks to death before, but at least there was no evidence before. Luo Jun even had a glimmer of hope that he might be able to see a surviving peak during the exploration.

After all, they can all use shops and monster cycles to get supplies, and maybe some of the top masters have survived in this maze for decades and are still alive today, so they can give them more advice.

But now, this fantasy is shattered...

Come to think of it, it has been almost a week since I came in, and Luo Jun's dice have not been refreshed, which means that not even three hours have passed outside... So if we calculate it this way, the people trapped here more than ten years ago may have spent hundreds of years, and if they don't die of sleep, they will die of old age...

It seems that there is basically no need to think about the surviving predecessors. Luo Jun couldn't help but sigh. "But then again, we found a top-level treasure box?" Ma Qiao looked at the pocket watch in Zhuge Zi's hand: "There may be some powerful treasure in it that can help us break the deadlock!"

When Zhuge Zi heard him say that he wanted to open the relic, he subconsciously took it back.

"Oh, sister, we can't take the relics we found here out, so if we donate them, maybe they can save everyone's lives..." Ma Qiao continued to persuade him. Yuan Lao glanced at him and said, "If there really is a treasure in the treasure box that can break the deadlock, Xiao Qianzi would have used it long ago. How could it be our turn?"

This sentence woke everyone up.

Yes, the owners of these treasure boxes are trapped here, not to mention a random treasure inside...

"That's hard to say..." Ma Qiao curled his lips, "Just like the final items of two stores, they can only be released together. Maybe there is a powerful treasure in Senior Zhuge's treasure box, but it is useless if he uses it alone. If it is combined with the ability or treasure of one of us, it will have a miraculous effect!"

"That probability is too low..." Sun Xiaowei shook her head: "A top-level treasure box must have at least 20 or 30 slots. Even if there is a treasure like you said, it can't be drawn..." As she said that, she glanced at Zhuge Zi who seemed to be thinking about something: "And the granddaughter is obviously not happy about it."

"Wait... maybe there really is!" Zhuge Zi's eyes suddenly lit up. "There's something in grandpa's treasure box that might be helpful to us!"

"Eh?" Mao Xintong was stunned: "Aren't you reluctant to part with grandpa's relics?"

Zhuge Zi shook his head: "This is different..."

As he spoke, Zhuge Zi opened his treasure box and took out a booklet.

"This is..." Everyone gathered around to take a look and discovered that this was an excellent-grade treasure.

Zhuge Zi introduced: "This is called a life diary. It has an infinite number of pages. From the moment you get it, it will absorb the owner's vitality at midnight every day and automatically record the important things you experienced the day before. Of course, you can also make some additions yourself, but in general, it can be regarded as a complete record of your life."

"What does this have to do with Senior Zhuge's treasure box?" asked Ma Qiao.

"This one was a gift from my grandfather on the day I reached the Solid Foundation Realm." Zhuge Zi stroked the diary with a nostalgic look on his face. "And my grandfather himself also had a life diary that accompanied him for many years."

"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized that if they could open Zhuge Qian's life diary, they would definitely be able to obtain a lot of information about the maze, which would definitely help them leave here!

No wonder Zhuge Zi said this was different. Compared to a relic that could not be taken away, being able to see his grandfather's final experiences in life would be a greater comfort.

But the question now is, how to extract it?

Consuming this relic will allow you to randomly obtain a treasure inside. Random means that it depends entirely on luck. The probability of getting one out of dozens of treasures is extremely small...

Everyone looked at each other, and Sun Xiaowei asked, "Does anyone among you have a treasure that can enhance luck?"

"Luck-related treasures are very rare." Elder Yuan shook his head: "And most of them are consumables."

"I have one, but it may not be useful..." Mao Xintong raised her hand and said, "Luck is a very mysterious thing, especially the judgment after using a treasure. Sometimes good luck does not mean that you can get the result you want most."

"For example, if we want to draw this Noble Phantasm, we want a Life Diary now, but if we increase our luck, we might draw an Epic or even Legendary Noble Phantasm, but we won't be able to draw an Excellent Diary."

"That makes sense..." Old Yuan nodded and said, "Xiao Qianzi is at the peak after all. There should be mostly high-level treasures in the treasure box. Maybe this diary is the lowest grade. If the luck-enhanced effect is really used, it may not be able to be drawn..."

"What should we do then..." Sun Xiaowei frowned and looked back at Luo Jun: "Why don't we let our junior come? He has always had good luck, maybe he can draw it out."

Luo Jun, who was called, was stunned for a moment. He had been thinking about making a move, but the problem was, as others had said, the probability of winning was too slim. If he won right away, would it arouse suspicion?

The truth is more important than a lie. If there were no secret dice, Luo Jun could have just drawn it calmly, and if he won, he would just be happy about his luck. But with the secret dice, he knew he could win, so when faced with such a situation, he could not help but hesitate.

But now, faced with possible clues, he no longer cared about such doubts.

"Then let me try..." Luo Jun took the pocket watch. He had used the dice several times in the past few days. Now he had four chances left, one high-level correction, three intermediate corrections, and one refresh. He estimated that the difficulty of extracting the diary was above 95 points. He should be able to succeed...

Thinking of this, he activated the Tianji dice.

“Pull out your life diary!”

"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined. The number of dice is reduced by one."

what? !

Luo Jun was stunned. An inevitable event? In other words, there was no life diary in this treasure box?
How could this be possible... Did Zhuge Zi identify the wrong relic? Impossible. Even if the appearance is the same, there is a photo of the other person's grandmother inside... So, when Grandpa was dying, he destroyed the diary? This is possible. If I were to be in danger of my life one day, I would delete my browsing history before I die...

However, there is another possibility...

Luo Jun frowned, sighed, and handed the relic back to Zhuge Zi: "I think you have to do this yourself."

Zhuge Zi was slightly stunned, and then he heard Luo Jun say: "No matter who it is, if you don't get grandpa's diary, you will regret it. This opportunity can only be given to you."

Zhuge Zi was silent for a few seconds, nodded, said thank you, took the pocket watch, took a deep breath, and chose to activate.

The pocket watch turned into a ball of white light, and then the light changed shape in Zhuge Zi's hand, and finally became a rectangle. When the light faded, she was holding Zhuge Qian's life diary in her hand.

"It...succeeded?!"

Zhuge Zi's eyes widened, and she almost jumped up in excitement. When the others around saw this, they also cheered, but Luo Jun was the only one who secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, the result determined by the dice is an inevitable event. It is either a failure and there is no life diary in the treasure box, or it is a success and there is only one diary in the treasure box!

No matter what the result is, Luo Jun's Tianji dice are useless here, so it is better to give this exchange opportunity to Zhuge Zi.

Now, when the diary is pulled out, everyone will just think that Zhuge Zi was lucky and will not associate it with Luo Jun at all.

Luo Jun was also full of expectations for the contents of the diary.

There must be all kinds of treasures in Zhuge Qian's treasure box. The fact that there is only this one diary left shows that he knew he would not survive, so at the last moment, he threw away all the other treasures and only left this one for future generations.

This further proves that there must be important information in this diary!
