Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 540: 537, [Fate Dice (Gold)]_1
 

In the subsequent mission, Su Yu crafted potions to help Tao Shi regain her memory.

After Tao Shi recovered her memory, she remembered that she was a part of the Shadowstep Sect, she lost her memory during an important mission and had sunk to the depths where she found herself.

Now that her memory had returned, the most important thing for her was to return to the Shadowstep Sect and report back.

Su Yu left the Imperial Capital with Tao Shi and Tao Lili, embarking on the journey to the Shadowstep Sect’s headquarters.

Su Yu was naturally quick and took only about a few minutes to bring the mother and daughter to the headquarters of the Shadowstep Sect where they met the sect head, Zhu Talan.

Unfortunately, Tao Shi’s memory had been erased for over five years. The crucial intelligence she brought back would have been useful five years ago, but now it was utterly useless.

Moreover, during these five years, the Shadowstep Sect had undergone a complete reshuffle. Most people she was familiar with died while carrying out their tasks.

Upon returning to the old place, Tao Shi only found bleakness in the world.

Regardless, Sect Head Zhu Talan warmly welcomed Tao Shi’s return. He said:

“Tao Shi, if you wish to come back, I welcome you to continue serving the Shadowstep Sect – it will always be your home! As for your current physical condition… if you want to retire, I can grant you that. You can return home to take care of your adopted daughter and I will also give you a substantial settlement payment. To tell you the truth, the Sect is not a conducive environment for a young child to grow up healthily.”

The Shadowstep Sect is a brutal enforcement organization after all. Dead bodies of criminals pile up like mountains, and the most frequently discussed topics among the members are conspiracy, deceit, assassination, and lies. It is easy for a child to develop extreme thoughts when living in such an environment.

Tao Shi was caught in a dilemma.

On one hand, she wanted to continue serving the Shadowstep Sect. After all, her lifelong aspiration was to fight for the cause of justice within the sect.

On the other hand, she was attached to her adopted daughter, Tao Lili. The two had been relying on each other for survival for five years. They might not have been related by blood, but they were closer than any mother and daughter could be. How could she easily let them go?

Therefore, at the end of the mission, she asked Su Yu, “Adventurer, what do you think I should choose?”

“Well…” Su Yu hesitated.

He intended to tell Tao Shi, “It might be better for you to decide for yourself. Follow what your heart says.”

But he suddenly remembered that this was what he told her in the previous life.

In his previous life, Tao Shi decided to return to the Shadowstep Sect and died miserably at the claws of the Mantis Demons during a mission a month later. He had been heartbroken for a long time.

This life, history wouldn’t repeat itself, would it?

However, Su Yu also had a problem. If he recommended Tao Shi to leave with Lili, there was a possibility that Tao Shi wouldn’t listen to him.

After thinking it over, Su Yu decided to do this.

He took out an item he had previously obtained from his necklace but barely used – Morgan’s Loaded Dice.

Morgan’s Loaded Dice

Usage: Toss it. The dice has six sides ranging from 1 to 6. After stopping, one side of the dice will face upwards.

Note: Because the dice is loaded, the probability of getting 4, 5, 6 is 98%, while that of getting 1, 2, 3 is 2%.

Su Yu handed the Loaded Dice to Tao Shi and said with a smile, “Why don’t you toss the dice? If the numbers 1, 2, or 3 are face up, you will stay in the Shadowstep Sect. If the numbers 4, 5, or 6 are face up, you will take Lili and go home – let’s leave everything to fate.”

“Alright.” Tao Shi took the dice, closed her eyes, and prepared to toss the dice to let fate decide her future.

But at that moment, Sect Head Zhu Talan suddenly shouted, “Hold on!”

Tao Shi stopped tossing the dice and turned to look at the Sect Head.

Su Yu also felt a bit guilty. The Pandamen couldn’t have seen through the tricks with the dice, right?

Head Zhu Talan gave Su Yu a deep look.

Then, he took the dice from Tao Shi’s hands and after tossing it around in his hand, he said, “We have a precious dice in our warehouse. At such a critical moment when we’re deciding our fate, I think it’s better to use that dice… Wait here for a while, I’ll be back soon.”

After saying that, Head Zhu Talan turned around and disappeared into the wind.

…

About half a minute later, Head Zhu Talan came back to Su Yu and Tao Shi; he had a brilliant golden dice in his hand.

He gave the golden dice to Tao Shi and solemnly said, “Use this dice. Just as the human adventurer said earlier, if 1, 2, or 3 is upwards, you stay in the Shadowstep Sect; if 4, 5, or 6 is upwards, you go home with your adopted daughter.”

“Alright.” Tao Shi nodded seriously.

She closed her eyes again and softly threw out the golden dice, which represented her fate.

Clunk clunk.

The golden dice hit the brick floor, making a sound similar to a bell’s toll.

However, the dice quickly stopped, and a big “6” was facing towards the sky.

Tao Shi kept her eyes shut, not daring to look.

Head Zhu Talan’s eyebrows had already lifted.

He smiled at Su Yu and lightly patted Tao Shi’s shoulder, “Go home. I wish you and Lili live a safe and secure rest of your lives.”

Only then did Tao Shi open up her eyes and seeing the huge “6” on the dice, she sighed lightly – she assumed this was fate.

In fact, the moment the dice was tossed out, she already knew what she truly wanted. She wanted to stay in the Shadowstep Sect more; it was her dream, her youth.

But fate had made the choice for her, and she could only accept her destiny.

Su Yu also breathed a sigh of relief now.

While dying on the battlefield is the ultimate destination for many warriors, Tao Shi still had her adopted daughter. For her adopted daughter’s sake, living was better than dying.

Head Zhu Talan slowly came over with his trembling old body and picked up the golden dice from the ground.

He dusted off the dice and kindly said to Su Yu, “Adventurer, thank you for helping Tao Shi return to the Shadowstep Sect. Five years ago, we thought she had died… Let’s not revisit old memories, here is a small reward to show our gratitude. I hope you’ll accept it.”

Head Zhu Talan took out a bottle of golden potion and the dice from his Space Ring and handed them over to Su Yu.

“Ding, ‘Tao Shi’s Illness (1/10)’ mission has been completed. You have been rewarded with one ‘Advanced Health Recovery Potion (Gold)’ and 5500 Experience Points. Tao Shi’s favorability +5, Tao Lili’s favorability +10.”

“Ding, your kindness has touched Zhu Talan, Zhu Talan’s favorability +10. You have received an additional reward, one ‘Fate Dice (Gold)’.”

Fate Dice (Gold)

Usage: Toss it. The dice has six sides ranging from 1 to 6. One side will face upwards after the dice stops. Cooldown: 24 hours.

Note: This dice is linked to your fate. If good luck is approaching you, the number will be larger. If bad luck is approaching you, the number will be smaller.

“Oh~” Upon seeing the property of the dice, Su Yu immediately understood what was going on.
