Chapter 274: 274: Competing Dice

With Lin Zhen’s current strength, he could basically kill a Speed Dragon with just one sword strike, but he did not do so. He wielded Autumn Frost, gradually recalling some almost forgotten sword skills from his past life. After about three or four attacks, he could take down a Speed Dragon.

Regarding his past life, Lin Zhen often had to think carefully about things, such as this Ancient God City. Since he had no experience of it and knew little information, plus a thousand years had passed, it was impossible to remember everything.

Only after killing several Speed Dragons did Lin Zhen gradually recall some information about Ancient God City.

When the Extraterrestrial Civilization first arrived, it was in Central Asia. An invading leader once said in public, “Actually, we were not interested in conquering this backward planet at first. We originally came just to retrieve a treasure from Red Rose. Conquering here is just a by-the-way thing.”

Now, when he carefully recalled, Lin Zhen gradually made the connection.

Remembering the red rose mark on the entrance hatch, Lin Zhen understood many things.

However, there were some things he would never say, it was enough to know it himself.

After Lin Zhen had consecutively killed seven Speed Dragons, a larger red Speed Dragon pounced towards Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen thought it was an ordinary Speed Dragon and attempted to strike it down, but the Speed Dragon suddenly spit out a fireball, causing Zhang Zhen to panic.

Lin Zhen was on Zhang Zhen’s left side at this time. He used his spiritual power to control his sword to attack the Speed Dragon, but the sword stabbed the Speed Dragon’s buttocks. The pain made the Speed Dragon speed up and viciously swipe its claws. Zhang Zhen had already had difficulty dealing with the fireball, and now he failed to dodge in time and got struck by the Speed Dragon’s claw on his waist. Fortunately, he had High Grade Astral Armor to protect himself from injury, but his face turned pale, feeling terrible.

Wu Hai rushed over and killed the Speed Dragon with five or six consecutive attacks.

As this Speed Dragon fell, this wave of Speed Dragon was annihilated, with Lin Zhen only killing five of them, ranking last.

“Phew! That was the Speed Dragon King, a Quasi-S-tier mutated beast. It is indeed difficult to deal with when mixed among ordinary Speed Dragons, and it can even launch fireball attacks. Zhang Zhen, you were lucky to survive.” Zhang Zhen quickly took a healing medicine, and angrily said to Lin Zhen, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you! If not for your random attack, I wouldn’t have been in trouble.”

Lin Zhen shrugged his hands: “It’s my first time encountering such a thing, so it’s normal for my attack to be inaccurate. If you think I did it on purpose, then next time I will just stand by and watch.”

“You dare to talk back to me!” Zhang Zhen looked at Lin Zhen in surprise before turning angry, “Kid, don’t you know what it means to respect your seniors?

Shouldn’t you maintain proper manners when talking to a stronger person? “Of course I know that, but I’ve never felt that you are stronger than me.”

“I am not stronger than you? I killed twelve Speed Dragons, and you killed only five. You took the third-ranking distribution for the team, but your performance was even worse than a woman. What qualifications do you have to say you are stronger?”

“The captain already said that my main task is to restrain and attract those. Such head-on battles are not my main responsibility. If you think I can’t do it, then go find another Spiritual Mind Master.”

“You are so arrogant!” Zhang Zhen was getting angry.

Wu Hai scolded, “What are you doing! Is this how a team member should behave?”

Zhang Zhen did not dare to refute Wu Hai, and snorted coldly without saying any more words but clearly dissatisfied with Lin Zhen.

“These Speed Dragons are probably from the same group, there might be a nest. An Ming, come with me to take a look and see if there’s any good stuff. You three collect these crystals.”

Lin Zhen and Wu Hai walked towards the depths of the dense forest, leaving Zhang Zhen and the others to collect the crystals.

“Zhang Zhen is just like that, don’t take it to heart.” Wu Hai said while walking.

“I understand, but he’d better not keep targeting me.” Lin Zhen responded.

“Alright, I’ll let him know.” Wu Hai looked at Lin Zhen, always feeling that An Ming seemed familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen such a person.

After a while, the two found the Speed Dragon’s nest in a huge cave.

“There’s really some stuff here!”

Wu Hails eyes lit up and he ran to the back of the cave. There were about a dozen Star Artifacts, one High-grade Astral Sword, and the rest were Middle and Lower Grade. There were also some gold and jewels, which were unknown where the Speed Dragons got them from.

Lin Zhen walked up to the pile of items and picked up a round object to examine.

It was a silver coin-like artifact with a galaxy pattern on it, and its metal material was unclear. There were even some gold coins in the pile.

Wu Hai said, “I have already found quite a few similar things here, and many people have collected some too. But this thing is not gold or silver, and it does not contain any power. It seems like a decoration or a token of some kind, and it’s useless. If you want it, you can take all of them.”

Lin Zhen nodded and took all the silver coins.

Others might not know it, but he knew that this was the currency of the Extraterrestrial Civilization!

After Earth was conquered, humanity faced a great migration, and their currency became the same as that of the Extraterrestrial Civilization. This silver coin might look inconspicuous, but it was made of star mithril. Later, Earth’s currency became obsolete, and the wealth of people of Earth was exchanged for this currency. This silver coin was worth one unit in the starry sky, but when exchanged with Earth’s currency, one million was needed just for one silver coin.

Lin Zhen gathered about five to six hundred silver coins and more than ten gold coins from this pile. Gold coins were even more valuable, with one billion Earth currency equivalent to just one gold coin, which was equivalent to a hundred dollars in the Star Realm.

Lin Zhen also knew that apart from gold and silver coins, there were also crystal coins in the Star Realm, which were the real valuables.

Wu Hai handed the high-grade astral sword to Lin Zhen: “Take this, your sword is a bit outdated. Everyone in our team has high-grade star artifacts as their equipment. I even have a top-quality star artifact, so you shouldn’t be too far behind.”

“Thank you, captain.”

Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate to accept the long sword and put away his somewhat shabby Autumn Frost.

Except for the mask that couldn’t be seen through, Lin Zhen really didn’t have any good equipment—middle-grade sword, high-grade software, middle-grade shoes—which didn’t match his identity as an Advanced War God and Spiritual Mind Master.

With their gains in hand, the two returned to the team. Since Lin Zhen had obtained a high-grade star artifact sword, he didn’t get a share of the loot this time. He even got fewer crystals.

Lin Zhen saw that Zhang Zhen had taken a Speed Dragon King Crystal. Lin

Zhen had plenty of quasi-S-tier crystals in his hands, mostly from the White Water Pythons of the Five Connected Pools. However, the one Zhang Zhen had taken was red and contained flame energy, which was quite rare.

Other martial artists were not like Lin Zhen, who had a Dark Star within him and could control multiple elemental energies. Ordinary martial artists could only control one element, and some talented ones might be able to control two. However, it was almost impossible to find someone who could control three elements. Many people couldn’t master even one in their entire lives.

To control elemental energy, it must be done before condensing the Star Core. Once the Dantian forms the Star Core and Star Power appears, it begins to repel other energies from entering the body.

So, to control elemental energies, one must do so before entering the Star Realm.

This flame crystal contained elemental energy components, no wonder Wu Hai and Zhang Zhen both had elemental powers.

Lin Zhen glanced at the high-grade astral sword in his hand, snorted coldly in his heart, and thought that Wu Hai still favored Zhang Zhen. He just gave him an elemental crystal, and the high-grade astral sword was meant to shut Lin Zhen up.

At the moment, Lin Zhen couldn’t reveal his whereabouts in the Ancient God City; otherwise, Li Yao would surely follow. Unless he left the team and acted alone, the risks of being exposed would be minimized.

However, leaving right after entering would attract even more attention. Lin Zhen was waiting for an opportunity.

But before that, Lin Zhen didn’t want to be at a disadvantage. He turned to Wu Hai and said, “Captain, I think we should change our method of allocating the good loot to give everyone a fair chance to acquire them.”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Luo Fei and Qin Huashang also nodded their heads, agreeing. Otherwise, Wu Hai and Zhang Zhen would get all the good stuff.

“What method?” asked Wu Hai.

“Dice competition.”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Wu Hai considered it and saw that Luo Fei and Qin

Huashang also agreed. He had no choice but to nod: “Let’s do it your way, then. We’ll use the dice competition to determine the ownership of elemental crystals. ”

In a dice competition, everyone threw three dice, and the one with the highest total number of points won. Many martial artists carried such items with them.

After saying that, Wu Hai took out a transparent box with three dice inside.

“I also have that. This crystal shield can block Spiritual Powers from entering, preventing Spiritual Mind Masters from cheating. Zhang Zhen, bring out that crystal, and everyone will compensate you with a lower-grade star artifact. Let’s use dice to determine who gets the crystal.”

Zhang Zhen reluctantly took out the crystal and said to Lin Zhen, “An Ming, since you suggested it, shouldn’t your high-grade astral sword also come out?”

If he infused the sword with enough gold energy, it could reach the high-grade level. However, if he infused the high-grade sword to the top-quality level, it would be too eye-catching.

All five people agreed to the dice competition. The first item up for grabs was the flame crystal. Wu Hai, the captain, went first, pressing the eject button on the box. The three dice jumped for a while—one, two, six.

“Ah! Nine points. There’s not much hope.”

Luo Fei took his turn, resulting in two twos and a three. With seven points, he was out of the game.

Qin Huashang took her turn, ending up with one, two, and three— six points.

She helplessly spread her hands: “I’m out of luck.”

Zhang Zhen went next and got four, five, and six—fifteen points!

“Haha! What’s meant to be mine will always be mine. It’s all fate.”

Lin Zhen finally picked up the box: “Not necessarily. Maybe I’ll roll three sixes.”

“Keep bragging! Even a Dark Gold stage can’t cheat with this kind of box. You, a mere Golden-Level martial artist, can you really have such good luck to beat me?” Zhang Zhen looked disdainful.

Lin Zhen smiled: “I’ve always been lucky.” As he said that, he shook the box. Everyone watched intently. The first die stopped at six, then came another five.

“Small, small, small!” Zhang Zhen shouted excitedly.

Finally, the last die stopped—another five!
