I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

The white light from the teleportation array faded, and Li Wu appeared in the central square of Ironforge.

He didn't linger in the square, but walked straight towards Qianjin Pavilion.

Players on the street recognized him. Less than half an hour after the announcement of the world boss's death, the ID "Seeing Through the Fog" was now more famous than the NPC city lord of Ironforge.

Someone tried to strike up a conversation, but was deterred by Li Wu's cold gaze.

When they entered the main hall of Qianjin Pavilion, Hua Zitong and Lin Hai were already there.

"Sit down." Li Wu went straight to the conference room.

Hua Zitong followed them inside, and Lin Hai followed them in as well. Immovable Mountain and Steel Shield were still on their way back.

"Have you seen the news about the guild war?" Hua Zitong opened the sand table.

"I've seen it."

"It will begin in 24 hours." Hua Zitong's finger slid across the sand table, bringing up the intelligence she had just gathered. "According to internal information from Dragon Shield Bureau, which Chen Yan just sent me, this event is on a separate map, and all participating guilds will be teleported in."

She zoomed in on the map.

"There are three fortresses in the independent map. All guilds are randomly assigned to either the attacker or defender side. The attacker side needs to capture at least one fortress within the time limit to win, while the defender side needs to hold at least one fortress."

"The conditions for victory are very low," Li Wu said.

"Yes, but the rewards are tiered. Taking down one is passing, taking down two is excellent, and taking down all three..." Hua Zitong paused for a moment, "that's a 'perfect' rating, and the reward is tripled."

"What about the other guilds?"

Hua Zitong's expression turned serious: "The Iron Blood Alliance has over three thousand registered active combat players, and the Rise of Storms has about two thousand. Although the Blood Wolf Guild was recently crippled by you, it still has over a thousand members. Sword and Rose has about fifteen thousand."

She looked at Li Wu.

"Our Mythical Guild has 482 members. Among them, over 300 are combat classes."

Lin Hai took a breath and said, "They have over three thousand, we only have over three hundred..."

"Ten to one," Hua Zitong said.

There was a few seconds of silence in the meeting room.

"People are already discussing it on the forum." Lin Hai took out his communication tablet. "The Iron Blood Alliance's Iron Blood Banner posted an update..."

He read aloud: "Guild wars are the true test of strength. Some small guilds that rely on individual heroism should wake up. Guild wars are about numbers, organization, and foundation. A one-man war is meaningless on a real battlefield."

"He didn't name names, but everyone knows he was talking about us." Lin Hai put down the communicator. "The comments section is full of agreement; many people think we'll be crushed in the guild war."

"Let them say what they want." Li Wu's expression remained unchanged.

He stood up, walked to the sand table, and looked at the models of the three fortresses.

"Our goal."

He reached out and tapped the first fortress.

"Not just conquering a city."

I ordered another one at the second table.

"It's not about capturing two cities."

Finally, I made a decision on the third seat.

"Take all three."

No one spoke in the meeting room.

Hua Zitong looked at him, raising an eyebrow: "Are you serious?"

"Seriously."

"Three hundred men against three thousand fortresses, and three fortresses at that." Hua Zitong's tone was restrained, but her meaning was clear: this was an impossible task.

"Having more people doesn't guarantee a win."

"Having fewer people doesn't necessarily mean you can win," Hua Zitong retorted.

Li Wu did not answer the question directly.

He took something out of his backpack and placed it on the sand table.

A golden six-sided die.

The Dice of Fate.

"What is this?" Hua Zitong asked, glancing at it.

"A gambling tool," Li Wu explained simply, outlining the six effects of the Fate Dice.

Hua Zitong's expression changed when she heard about the sixth effect.

"All skills have a 50% chance of being used a second time—within 24 hours?"

"right."

"If you roll a 6..."

Li Wu said, "The Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow may be able to be launched twice in succession."

Hua Zitong fell silent, quickly calculating in her mind.

The Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow can clear the field with one shot. If there is a 50% chance of it being released directly, then theoretically one out of every two shots will be free.

This means his range output efficiency has doubled.

No, more than double.

In theory, he could...

"Unlimited rapid fire?" Hua Zitong's voice lowered.

"Theoretically, it's possible," Li Wu said. "In reality, it's limited by mana consumption, so it can't really be infinite, but it can be combined with the Magic Tide Arrow."

Hua Zitong closed her eyes.

She mentally connected all the data.

With Li Wu's current magical attack power, the area damage of the Burning Star Return to Void Arrow is enough to instantly kill most players.

Three thousand people?

Before the Infinite Burning Star Return to Ruins Arrow, three thousand people are just three thousand targets.

"But that's on the condition that you roll a 6." Hua Zitong opened her eyes. "One in six probability."

"I think it can work." Li Wu was full of confidence, after all, his current luck level could be described as terrifying.

Hua Zitong looked at him.

This man is gambling.

It wasn't a blind gamble, but a judgment based on his accurate assessment of his own abilities.

But it's still a gamble.

Even with a bit of luck, it's still not 100%, even with a one-sixth chance.

"What if you roll a 1?" Hua Zitong asked.

"Then we'll randomly reduce one attribute by 10% for 24 hours," Li Wu said. "It won't be fatal."

"What about 2 universities?"

"A small blessing, +5% to all attributes, better than nothing."

"What about 3 universities?"

"Random rare equipment, not very useful."

"What about 4 universities?"

"Revealing the location of hidden treasures is meaningless in guild battles."

"What about 5 universities?"

"Randomly summon a hero unit to fight for one hour. Not bad, but not enough."

Hua Zitong mentally went through all six possible outcomes.

Point 1 is the worst, but not fatal; points 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all usable; point 6 is an incredible comeback.

To put it simply, there's only one outcome that results in a loss; the other five outcomes are all equal.

The odds for this bet are actually pretty good.

She took a deep breath.

"I'll gamble with you."

Li Wu nodded.

"But before that..." Hua Zitong suddenly said, "You can't be idle for these 24 hours."

"I know."

"Go grind monsters and level up a bit more. The higher your stats, the more confident you'll be in gambling."

"I was just about to..."

"Pay attention to your stamina; you'll need to be at full strength for tomorrow's guild battle."

"Um."

Li Wu put away the Dice of Fate and turned to walk towards the teleportation array.

Before leaving, he turned back and glanced at Hua Zitong.

"Prepare the guild's lineup and tactics. No matter what I roll, we have to fight in the guild war."

"I know," Hua Zitong said.

"besides……"

"What?"

"Tell Lin Hai to prepare more return scrolls."

Hua Zitong raised an eyebrow: "What's it for?"

"If you lose the bet, running away fast is also a tactic."

He left after he finished speaking.

Hua Zitong stood there for a long time before she came to her senses.

"...Is this bastard joking or serious?"
