Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 571: Luck and Power
The process of placing the door-opening gem went exceptionally smoothly.
After Li Ming cast "Holy Guardian" to divert the monster's attention, Xingmei moved to the front of the stone gate and quickly and accurately inserted two dark blue triangular gems into the grooves with her hands.
When all three grooves were embedded with gems, the runes on the stone door lit up instantly, and the monsters in the two rooms disappeared at this moment.
Then, a mechanical voice sounded in everyone's mind.
'The Meteor Team was the first to open the third door and won the game. The Good Luck Team was eliminated immediately.'
Li Ming turned over and jumped up from the ground, his illusory eyes looking through the crystal wall at the opposite side.
The seven members of the 'Good Luck' team disappeared the moment the mechanical voice stopped, as if they had never been there.
Although the expressions of the seven people before they disappeared were complicated, with frustration, unwillingness and anger intertwined, there was no panic on their faces.
Apparently, they had enough survival points to pay the penalty for losing the game.
At this moment, the mechanical voice once again clearly echoed in the ears of Li Ming and the other four.
'Congratulations to the Meteor Team, you have received a total of 1000 survival points as a reward for clearing the level.'
'Congratulations to the Meteor Team. You have received a special reward of 2000 survival points.'
'Congratulations to the Meteor Team. You have received a total of 5000 survival points worth of gem purchase money.'
"Haha, another 3000 survival points as a reward." Yun Shan said happily, her face filled with joy, "This way, we have a total of 8000 survival points. We are getting rich overnight!"
Dongmen Qiansha looked puzzled. She asked in confusion, "What does the special reward of 2000 survival points mean?"
"I guess this is the reward for opening the third door." Cecily answered thoughtfully, "If the team chooses other ways to win, there may not be this extra reward."
"Hmm..." Dongmen Qiansha nodded, "It seems that this is the only explanation."
Yunshan hummed a cheerful song and skipped to the tall stone gate.
Then, she pushed the stone door with both hands and said happily, "Let's go, we are going to the next level as well."
However, unexpectedly, the stone gate was as steady as a rock and did not move at all, as if it had taken root in the ground.
"Huh? Why can't this door be opened?" She couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at Li Ming.
Li Ming glanced at the stone door calmly and said casually: "If we can't open it, we will wait here. After the other teams have decided the winner, everyone should be automatically teleported away by the system."
Hearing this, Yunshan's brows relaxed, and then her attention was attracted by the three dazzling gems above the stone gate.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "Since we have already cleared the level, can we take these gems away?"
Cecily glanced at Li Ming and responded with a smile: "If these gems could be put into the system backpack, the little man would have put them away long ago, so why would I need your reminder?"
"Hmph, doesn't it happen that he never gets careless?" Yun Shan felt a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat.
She reached out and gently took off a gem from the stone door, then tried to put it into the system backpack.
A few seconds passed, and the gem still lay steadily in her palm, motionless.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, and then she calmly put the gem back to its place.
Although the others noticed Yunshan's little action, they did not make fun of her for it.
Everyone sat together and chatted leisurely, and the topic was basically focused on the upcoming competition.
Cecily's thoughts drifted to the pigtailed girl from the Good Luck team. She suddenly said, "Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time we've encountered a person with luck and supernatural powers. Don't you think it's a bit magical?"
"Yeah, it's incredible." Dongmen Qiansha was also deeply touched and nodded repeatedly, "I'm really curious about what she's like in her daily life. If her luck is always so good, wouldn't everything she wants come true?"
"Haha, that's not necessarily true." Yun Shan seemed to have thought of something interesting and chuckled, "If she plays card drawing or chance enhancement games, I bet her account will be banned the next day."
"Could it be that serious? After all, she didn't cheat on her own initiative." Dongmen Qiansha expressed doubt.
“I’m not kidding,” Yunshan explained. “Although the game company may not be able to find the specific reason, they only need to use the data anomaly as a reason to ban her account.”
At this time, Cecily noticed Xingmei's silence. She asked with some surprise: "Xingmei, what are you thinking about?"
Xingmei exhaled lightly and replied, "I was wondering, if that girl's luck was really so extraordinary, why was she matched with our team? This doesn't seem to meet the definition of 'good luck'."
Hearing this, the other three couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Indeed." Cecily stroked her chin and nodded in agreement. "If they were matched against any other team, their chances of winning would be much greater than if they were matched against us. At least their success rate in clearing the level would be significantly increased."
"Does this mean that the power of luck is not stable?" Yun Shan tentatively proposed her own guess, "It may occasionally deviate or make mistakes?"
"Your point makes sense." Cecily agreed, then she turned her head and looked at the man sitting next to her and asked, "Little man, what do you think about this?"
Li Ming replied in a calm tone: "The power of luck is not as mysterious as you think. Its strength depends largely on the strength of the power user himself."
"If you want to change or avoid certain unfavorable events through the power of luck, this will inevitably involve changes in the fate line."
"If that girl is extremely powerful, she can indeed easily influence and change the fate of others. But in my opinion, her strength should be very weak, at most L5 level, or even lower."
Yunshan couldn't help but ask, "She seems to have never leaked any aura, how did you know that?"
The other three also cast curious glances at Li Ming, waiting for his further explanation.
"It's a very simple guess." Li Ming replied, "Before, we were matched with the 'Good Luck' team based on random chance. If she wants to change this result through her luck ability, she must interfere with our fate."
"But the result is that there is no change in her fate line. There is only one reason for this. Her strength is still too weak to have any impact."
