Chapter 224 A Mysterious Power from the East: Congratulations on Getting Rich!
That statement, "I'm only a 22nd grader," was said with such confidence, with such sincerity and innocence.
It was as if they were asking rhetorically, "Don't you have any conscience at all, making a novice Qi Refining cultivator fight a level 92 elite monster head-on?"
Saros, Auro, and Moon Arrow, the three beings who stood at the pinnacle of the Origin Realm, once again fell into an eerie silence.
After a long pause, the muscles on Salos's angular face twitched violently.
"You'd better... hope your luck is really good enough."
Having said that, he stopped talking and his burly body became a blur.
With a terrifying whoosh, the giant axe in his hand charged towards the [Colorful Candy Rabbit] that was still standing there, acting cute.
In Chen You's [Spiritual Vision], Salos appeared as a burning sun, with violent energy surging forth.
"roar!"
The giant axe fell, and the earth cracked.
Immediately afterwards, the Oracle Staff in Auro's hand shone brightly, and a holy pillar of light descended from the sky, precisely enveloping the rabbit.
The arrows of the Moon Arrow are like shooting stars, piercing the air with a whooshing sound, arriving first even though they are launched later.
Chen You only felt a blur before his eyes, and the level 92 elite monster exploded into a pile of colorful candy crumbs with a "bang".
Sold out instantly!
This demonstrates the strength of the three top players.
[System Notification: Your team has defeated the 'Colorful Candy Rabbit (Elite)', and you have gained 1 experience point.]
Gone.
Chen You: "..."
Not even a common material drops?
Alarm bells rang in his mind instantly.
We need to think about how to cover this up.
If this can't be salvaged, I'm afraid I'll be stuck here with these three big shots until the newbie protection period ends.
Salos slowly turned around without saying a word, but the questioning look in his eyes was so intense that it could ignite the air.
Oro's smile remained elegant, but it looked rather forced.
He said softly, "It seems that this appetizer is not enough to win the favor of fate."
On the surface, his words were meant to help Chen You out of a tight spot, but in reality, they were a form of pressure.
—What about your "luck"? Take a look.
Even Yuezhi frowned, a hint of worry creeping into his gaze as he looked at Chen You.
However, Chen You's face remained calm and unfathomable.
He even nodded seriously, as if everything was expected.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
He had already begun to pray to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, but he said it casually.
"True treasures are always guarded by the most powerful guardians. Let's go, don't keep the final boss waiting."
After saying that, he started walking forward on his own.
That composed and unhurried figure made it seem as if the empty car incident was part of his script.
Saros and Oro exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.
Is it...
Does this guy's "luck" only work on the BOSS?
With this in mind, the three of them followed.
The rest of the journey was unremarkable.
Every now and then, a few "Colorful Candy Turtles" and "Colorful Cotton Candy Slimes" of level 90 or above would pop up, and without exception, they were all instantly killed by the three masters working together.
Without exception, all the cars were empty.
The atmosphere in the team became increasingly oppressive.
A fine bead of cold sweat had already seeped from Chen You's forehead.
As he walked, he frantically brainstormed various contingency plans in his mind.
[Plan A: Claim your lucky talent has a cooldown period and you've used up all your attempts for today. No way, that's too fake, you'd get killed on the spot.]
[Plan B: Blame it on those three, saying they were too murderous and disturbed Lady Luck. No, that's too despicable; they'll still get killed on the spot.]
[Plan C: ...]
Just when Chen You was about to run out of things to say, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A huge castle made of various hard candies and cookies appeared before everyone.
At the castle gate, a jelly bear, twice the size of Bizarro and holding a giant lollipop, was dozing on the throne.
【Rainbow Candy King - Teddy (Lord) (LV92)】
The final boss has arrived!
Saros's patience had clearly reached its limit. He let out a low roar, his muscles bulged, and his crimson battle aura rose up like flames.
He had already gripped the giant axe behind him and was about to launch a charge.
"etc!"
At this critical moment, Chen You suddenly spoke up and stopped him.
Saros whirled around. "What other tricks are you trying to pull?"
"Don't rush." Chen You waved his hand, a solemn expression on his face. "President Salos, do you believe in the light?"
"What?" Salos was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard.
Chen You ignored his astonishment and continued speaking to himself.
"To face the final test and obtain the richest reward, one naturally needs the most devout ceremony."
"This is a respect for the rules, and also a tribute to destiny."
His words were so cryptic that they left the three top players completely bewildered.
Oro frowned slightly: "President Chen, you mean...?"
Chen You smiled slightly, offering no explanation, and instead, in front of the three of them, slowly and methodically took something out of his backpack...
He pulled out a huge and magnificent... firework tube.
The cannon barrel is entirely gilded and inlaid with colorful gemstones, its design being extremely extravagant.
At the muzzle of the cannon, there was a line of small characters written in cursive script.
— "Celebrating the launch of the 'Path of the King' expansion, we wish you a pleasant gaming experience!"
Saros: "..."
Oro: "..."
Moon Arrow: "..."
The three of them had surprisingly similar expressions at that moment.
Shock, stunned, and a sense of absurdity, like "Who am I, where am I, what am I looking at?"
They recognize this thing!
[Commemorative cannon salute on the King's Road]!
When the system was first updated, all the players who saw the price of this item cursed, "They're crazy for money."
They never dreamed that a "big fool" would actually buy this thing!
"spendthrift!"
The three of them cursed inwardly in unison.
Moreover, judging from Chen You's posture, he's planning to set off fireworks to add some excitement before fighting the BOSS?
"You..." Salos pointed at the cannon in Chen You's hand, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Auro's composure was quickly fading.
He took a deep breath, trying to understand Chen You's behavior: "President Chen, is this what you meant by... a ceremony?"
"Indeed." Chen You solemnly slammed the cannon barrel onto the ground, producing a muffled thud.
He tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle. "Do you think this is just an ordinary salute? No, it's not."
"It is the medium connecting heaven and earth, the beacon that guides destiny! It is the metaphysical mystery that has been passed down through our civilization for thousands of years!"
At this moment, it seemed as if there was light behind Chen You.
He spoke with such seriousness that he almost believed it himself.
Saros and Oro looked at each other in bewilderment.
metaphysics?
What is that?
That sounds pretty impressive.
Could this be... the real secret behind his ability to influence "probability"?
Through some kind of mysterious ritual?
Once this idea takes hold, it can never be abandoned.
They instantly devised a "self-strategy" once again.
Yes! This Chen You acts strangely in every way, and cannot be judged by common sense.
The "Path to Kingship" dungeon has been launched along with anniversary resources.
Is there some kind of mysterious connection between the two?
Seeing the change in their eyes, Chen You thought to himself: Don't disappoint me, mysterious Eastern power!
He stopped talking and lit the cannon.
"laugh--"
The fuse was lit.
next second.
"Whoosh—Bang!"
A huge, colorful firework composed of countless data streams exploded in the sky above Rainbow Candy Castle!
Fireworks burst forth, eventually coalescing into four large, glittering golden characters.
【May you be happy and prosperous!】
Saros, Auror, and Moon Arrow: "..."
