Storm of Gods

Chapter 4: Divine Relic: Secret Dice
Li Xin had quietly returned home long ago and went to sleep. In his dream, the dice seemed to want to turn, but were quickly controlled. Even in his dreams, Li Xin could achieve instinctive control. This was the result of years of gaming.

It was just dawn and Aunt Fei had already prepared breakfast. Li Xin was already up at this time, either exercising or going hunting. Although she didn't understand those strange exercises, she knew that Li Xin was very good. Bird eggs, goat milk, mixed noodles, sprinkled with some chopped green onions, were all Li Xin's favorites. As for little Xueyin, she was still blowing bubbles and sleeping soundly, her little mouth was still smacking, probably eating delicious food in her dream again.

"Aunt Fei, just leave these to Xueyin. I'm in great health."

"Just eat if I tell you to. We've had a surplus recently and business is good. Did anything happen yesterday?" Aunt Fei asked a little worriedly. She knew something had happened to Li Xin.

"Nothing happened. It has nothing to do with us. I'm going hunting for a few days. Oh, by the way, if any official personnel come, just tell them the truth." Li Xin was afraid that Aunt Fei would worry, so he told the night patrolman about his awakening. The other party should be very busy with such a mission, and might forget about him. There was no need to deliver himself to the door. It would be bad if it was delivered to the door. In case the other party did not forget, he would just deal with it.

Lin Fei nodded. In fact, she didn't think it was a bad thing. It would be nice if she could find a formal and decent job. However, Li Xin didn't seem to be very interested in such things. Of course, she also knew that it would be difficult for the residents of the underground city to have such good things.

Li Xin went hunting with his own inferior weapons. They were made of real earth, carefully selected and polished from alienated wild beasts. They didn't look very good, but they were very practical, much more practical than spending money on swords. As for the Hextech weapons that Luo Jin used, they were most likely the exclusive weapons of the higher-level Night Watchmen, which were not something a poor man like him could covet.

Even gang leaders like Qi Badao can't afford it... It seems there is no comparison. They are both gangsters, but he is the only one who uses a knife. He is a loser.

Li Xin set off. He was already familiar with the forest outside the city. In fact, every time he came here to hunt, it was a relaxing thing. He did not need to hide and could roam freely in the forest to hunt. He did not know if it was an illusion, but there were fewer and fewer prey here. Many times he had to go deeper, but now he could not see any prey even in the depths of the dense forest. These guys were hiding from him.

The forest is a restricted area for ordinary people. Only adventurers and hunters can enter. Li Xin carries a bone spear and a special dagger on his waist. He takes a few deep breaths, as if to fill his lungs with air. Then he stretches out his right hand and a white dice appears. It begins to roll under Li Xin's gaze, which can foretell the harvest of his hunting this time.

It's not that Li Xin is a jerk who has to use it, but he has discovered in the process of holding it for a long time that the divine relic cannot be left unused. At the same time, he himself wants to study this thing. It is undoubtedly the best when hunting, and it will not cause danger even if it gets out of control.

“It’s been a great harvest today.”

The white dice were spinning, and Li Xin was staring at them. When he went to the city yesterday, Xueyin saw a Sasha skirt in the window. Although she didn't say anything, Li Xin still saw the longing and restrained light in the girl's eyes. As a girl, she didn't even have a nice skirt. Li Xin still hoped to gain something today.

If the dice spins unsteadily and the rhythm is chaotic, the judgment is invalid.

The smaller the number, the more negative it is; the larger the number, the more positive it is; five points means uncertainty, but not invalidity. Li Xin currently understands this.

a little??

Valid judgment.

Li Xin knew that he was in trouble, but before he could come to his senses, he was hit by a severe headache. Li Xin squinted his eyes and endured the tearing sensation. He was much more experienced in dealing with it now than at the beginning.

What made him feel disheartened was the number of points. One point rarely appeared, which meant that he would definitely return empty-handed on this trip, and might even lose something.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left with his bag on his back. The best option was to lock himself up at home and take a good sleep.

呲~~~
Immediately afterwards, a foul odor hit my nose, as if some seal had been broken. What animal has such a lack of public morality? It hadn't even taken a few steps when it stepped on empty air. Damn, who set this trap?!
Li Xin grabbed the edge, looked at the sharp wooden thorns in the pit, jumped up, and stepped on another one. Li Xin didn't dare to stop. He tightened his backpack and held his bone spear and dagger tightly, one in each hand. These were all his belongings. It was easier to have weapons than to be bare-handed.

As they walked, the light grew dimmer. A raven overhead cawed. Li Xin looked up, and the raven vanished with a squeak. Where was home? The Blackwater District was a harmonious place. Although it was an underground city, it still had its own unique scenery and bustle. Lin Fei began her day's work. The neighbors would come over to chat, some asking about Li Xin, some about her. Little Xueyin was reading. The church had a God's Grace class, but it was for those in the city, not the underground city. Usually, Lin Fei taught Xueyin herself. Li Xin's hunting time was unpredictable, sometimes one or two days, sometimes more than ten days.

Even after experiencing it many times, Lin Fei was still a little nervous, but there was nothing she could do. Li Xin's hunting income accounted for 80% of their lives, and her little bit of money to supplement the family income was not enough to maintain such a "luxurious" life now.

The night when she first met Li Xin was also the night when Lin Fei encountered the greatest ordeal in her life. She brought the young Xue Yin to the underground city. It was very cold and rainy that day. The boy was lying in the ditch, dying. He saw her with his eyes but did not ask for help. There was a hint of stubbornness on the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to take one last look at the night sky. At that moment, she did not want to meddle in other people's business, but she could not help it. She carried the little one in her arms and the big one on her back and struggled to settle down in the underground city. She didn't know how she survived the first few days.

Li Xin was very lucky. He managed to survive the high fever. In the early days, he helped with housework. One day, he came back with wild rabbits and wild ducks on his back. From then on, his family could eat meat and their lives gradually got better.

His hunting was soon known to the Spade Group who were in charge of this area. Lin Fei thought their good days were over, but not long after, the Spade Group stopped harassing them and no longer came to this area.

Time passed day by day. Lin Fei didn't say anything, but his eyes were always looking out the door. It had been four days and he still hadn't returned. Li Xin was not there, and the lively little Xueyin had lost her strength.

Tian Luojin has been very busy these days, handing over the work of the Ministry of Education and familiarizing himself with its various affairs. This is because he has to deal with many high-level officials and cannot be as casual as he was when he was a night patrolman. There were several times when he really didn't want to quit.

It’s not that the Tianjing Church is bad. It is certainly decent, safe, and has a higher level of space. Life under the sun is naturally good, but the social activities and etiquette are really cumbersome. Luo Jin is gritting his teeth to adapt and patiently understand the situation of the Tianjing Church. Judging from the information provided by the church, it is quite a headache.

This time he entered the Apostolic Court to rectify discipline. He represented the face and influence of the Moon Goddess Church. He had to give an explanation to both his superiors and subordinates. He actually wanted to bring some of his own people with him, but the night patrols were two systems, and the Apostolic Court did not like the night patrols. They thought they were secret thugs who did dirty and tiring work, and they were not the same kind of people. If the internal problems were not too serious this time, it would not have been Luo Jin's turn.

Who should he look for? It's a headache. He has been doing this for so many years after all. It would be fine if he just had to endure it and change his attitude according to the situation, but these guys under him are more stupid than the other.

Then again, who would be a night patrolman if they are not stupid?

At this time, the sound of tapping was heard. Casey changed into a pink uniform today, with an exquisite little hat with a white feather. She looked elegant and playful, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

This wasn't the night watchman's uniform; they didn't earn that much, and everyone knew Casey didn't live off his salary.

"Captain, this is the investigation information you requested." Casey's sweet voice sounded.

No matter what kind of boss has a subordinate like this, he will always be in a good mood. "Research data? You don't have anything to do recently, right? You should leave work early to find a relationship, then get married and have children. Before the age of 27 is the golden period for girls to make choices."

"Captain, how can you, an old bachelor, have such experience?" Casey smiled slightly and placed the information on the table. "How about you, Captain, take advantage of me?"

Luo Jin's mouth twitched. He couldn't afford to offend. "Ahem, whose investigation data is this?"

"Li Xin is the awakener of the dungeon. He's an interesting guy." Casey said. She had read his information.

Hearing Li Xin, Luo Jin was stunned for a long time before he remembered, damn, he asked this guy to find him, but he turned a deaf ear to his words...
