Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 892 Luck is also a resource (22)

After watching the competition for a while, Shangguan Zhi was certain that Wang Jiu had never been so serious before.

He gave his all to life, was sincere and serious about his work, meticulous about those around him, and outwardly cold but inwardly warm towards his disciples.

But he doesn't like games; in fact, he hates them.

Even though he was chosen by the Coin of Destiny, he still maintained his true colors and casually dealt with the challenge of reviewing the past.

But the current Wang Jiu is quite extraordinary.

Good poker players can discern an opponent's thoughts from their behavior. Shangguan Zhi has been playing poker for a few days, and while he may not be considered a master, he has certainly made his way into the game.

Once you get started, you'll discover that "We Become Buddhas" is actually a well-hidden team game.

The same deck of cards ensures equal access to resources for everyone, while different skills allow for greater depth and breadth in teamwork. The duality of Buddha and Demon makes combinations incredibly diverse, with new strategies emerging every so often, sweeping across the field.

However, this argument did not apply to Wang Jiu.

After watching for only a short while, Shangguan Zhi realized that Wang Jiu was very strong.

It was as strong as a demon lord.

Although he had the Fate Coin, Wang Jiu played extremely cautiously, never resorting to luck unless absolutely necessary, which gave his playing style a steady and resolute feel.

However, if a situation arises, such as a crucial moment of elimination, he will not hesitate to use the power of luck in order to maximize the value of his luck.

Compared to others, Wang Jiu's card-playing style seemed to be on a different level. He was like a star lord who lingered above the card game, silently watching others rise and fall in the game, while he himself never stepped in.

"The teacher is truly remarkable. This is the first time I've seen someone treat luck as a resource to be managed," Shangguan Zhi couldn't help but exclaim. "And isn't the teacher's understanding of the game a bit too deep? How come the skill combinations he comes up with are so versatile?"

While Shangguan Zhi was deep in thought, the situation on the field was gradually changing.

At first, the four goalkeepers were dominating Wang Jiu.

After a series of questions, Wang Jiu's health had reached a critical point, but none of the gatekeepers dared to relax.

When only one bar of mental defense remained, the long-hidden skill was finally revealed. In the state of single-mindedness, Wang Jiu directly unleashed his "Adversity" skill, which was to abandon adversity in the state of single-mindedness and then gain four additional skills: "Divination", "Enlightenment", "Nirvana" and "Heavenly Dragon".

These four skills are all medium-level skills, but when combined, they form a large-scale chain, directly elevating Wang Jiu's strength to a new level.

At this moment, Wang Jiu in the game also transformed, with a great light flashing behind him. His character continued to expand, eventually resembling a star lord, occupying the card game.

Under the effect of Nirvana, Wang Jiu's health was fully restored, and then it turned into three cards that fell into his hand.

Then, two "Twins" were played, linking the four goalkeepers together.

The last card, "Shout," slightly increases Wang Jiu's damage. Tianlong also allows him to draw cards when he has no cards in hand. The next card is "Desperate Struggle," which increases damage when he has no cards in hand.

After four rounds of stacking, Wang Jiu's accumulated damage was terrifyingly high. His last card was directly aimed at a gatekeeper who had no cards in hand, and he coldly said, "Question."

The combined burst of damage caused a massive explosion, the accumulated terrifying damage instantly obliterating the four, causing them to explode like fireworks, utterly and irrevocably killed.

After eliminating the four, Wang Jiu's illusion showed neither joy nor sorrow, but instead clasped its hands together and softly said, "Thank you for your consideration."

After a brief silence in the live stream, comments began to flood in even more frantically.

Inspector Wang is amazing!

[Thirty-six points of damage in one strike, it's so satisfying it makes my scalp tingle!] [But this maneuver is difficult to execute; it requires a lot of coordination.]

[It seems impossible, but it's actually possible. Each deck of cards is fixed; once it's gone, it needs to be reshuffled. Inspector Wang only needs to calculate the remaining cards in advance and then arrange the deck accordingly.]

[This is way too exaggerated! Is it even possible to calculate this?]

[They belong to the Wanfa Sect.]

[What's so great about the Wanfa Sect? I'm not bragging, but after going there, I was absolutely the best negative example.]

With me here, it's a bit impossible for you.

[Quiet down, someone do the replay; I want to improve my skills. I'd also like to try playing a gatekeeper role.]

After the battle ended, all that was left for the audience was to savor the experience.

Unlike his lackluster performance in "Soul of Heaven," Wang Jiu is now clearly more focused, and his performances are more explosive.

Wang Jiu reaped a wave of benefits from his first live stream, "We Become Buddhas," and the positive promotion brought him another wave of benefits. His terrifying strength has firmly secured him as a technical streamer, and he is undoubtedly the top streamer.

The upcoming competition further piqued everyone's interest, with many hoping to observe Wang Jiu's playing style closely in order to defeat him.

Moreover, at first glance, Wang Jiu was repeatedly driven to the brink of defeat. So, if he just put in a little effort, could he break down the opponent's defenses and then take the throne?

With this idea in mind, a large number of players began to join, and everyone was eager to win the final victory.

But in Shangguan Zhi's eyes, the situation was completely wrong.

Recalling Wang Jiu's actions just now, Shangguan Zhi stroked his chin and said, "We can't win."

Not long after, the new challenge ended, and Zhang Ting put down the jade slip with a serious expression, saying, "I can't win."

"Why?" Leng Ning, who had been eating watermelon that Qing Luan had brought him, asked. "I saw Wang Jiu being beaten almost to death several times."

“That’s what you think,” Shangguan Zhi replied. “In the game ‘We Become Buddhas,’ luck is extremely important. Our luck is real luck, but Wang Jiu’s luck is a resource. The operating mechanism of the Destiny Coin is unclear, but we can probably guess that it has a certain amount of luck stored up and helps the user develop in a direction that is favorable to them.”

"Then isn't that flawless?" Leng Ning asked in surprise.

"No. According to the principles deduced by our Myriad Laws Sect, all things in the world can come into existence from nothing, but they must also follow the laws of time and space, and luck is no exception. We need to master the operating rules of luck in order to defeat our opponents."

Leng Ning munched on a melon, feeling that the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect were indulging in wishful thinking.

Luck is as elusive as destiny, and it seems a bit far-fetched that the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect would try to understand it.

But she still asked earnestly, "Then what can I do?"

"Please prepare some desserts and two cups of tea," Shangguan Zhi said.

"I want a pound of sweet wine and two hundred beef skewers. Remember to tell Qingluan to hurry."

Leng Ning took a bite of the melon, then looked at Qingluan next to her, whose face was as pale as a melon.

She swallowed the melon in her mouth and said to Qingluan, "Go, Master. Who told you to cause this trouble?"
