Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2178 - 969: Lin Baici’s Defiant Luck! (Part 2)
The Gambling God is quite savvy, not lacking in brains. He knows that Lin Baici’s subtle push is a signal to find and inform others on what to do.
The Gambling God gives an OK gesture and springs into action immediately.
Lin Baici doesn’t rely solely on the Gambling God, nor does he stand idle hoping. Hearing Xia Hongyao’s voice, he immediately heads in its direction.
Soon enough, a hand grabs Lin Baici.
It’s the ponytail girl who found him.
Before she can speak, Lin Baici quickly points at the golden traces, waving her away from them.
"Are you saying we can choose anything but gold?"
Xia Hongyao also knows those golden traces are dragon scales.
"Yes!"
Lin Baici nods.
"Stay away from gold,"
Xia Hongyao shouts.
Soon, the golden dragon scales explode, like giant fireworks bursting in the night sky on the Lantern Festival, scattering golden light everywhere. It’s grand, magnificent, and dazzling, dispelling the dark mist around them.
Lin Baici quickly scans the area.
Fortunately, no casualties.
"Asiba, I almost thought I was done for!"
Kim Myungjin is gasping for air. That scene was truly close: "Hongyao, thank you!"
She was standing on the golden marks earlier, and if Xia Hongyao hadn’t appeared suddenly and pulled her away, she would have died.
"No need to thank me,"
This is Lin Baici’s girlfriend and her own friend, of course Xia Hongyao would help her out.
"Did you experience something like this before?"
Gu Qingqiu asks the fishball vendor.
The fishball vendor is about to speak, but the Gambling God interrupts.
"What’s the point of talking about that? It’s useless and has no reference value!"
The Gambling God looks at the last two types of dragon scales, green and purple, then turns to Lin Baici: "God Lin, will your luck last until the end of this pollution?"
"Choose purple!"
Lin Baici steps onto a purple dragon scale.
Everyone follows suit immediately, including the Gambling God. There’s no choice; Lin Baici is too strong.
Getting it right several times in a row, what does this equate to?
It’s like opening every beverage bottle to discover "Win another bottle" each time—winning continuously.
For someone like the Gambling God, who loves to gamble, luck is prominently trusted, making Lin Baici’s "success rate" beyond incredible.
"Why not choose green?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
The Gambling God, just trying to relieve tension, asks: "Is it a hunch?"
"No, I just find green unlucky!"
Lin Baici explains.
"Unlucky?"
The Gambling God is puzzled.
"Hahaha, for men, green indeed isn’t a good color!"
Xia Hongyao laughs, and upon seeing the Gambling God’s sudden realization, she feels a sense of superiority.
I, Hong Yao, Sherlock Holmes Xia,
am very intelligent.
So she patiently explains it to the Gambling God again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This time, the explosions begin.
As the dragon scales shatter, a green vine rises from the ground, like the beanstalk from a fairy tale, climbing up towards the God State!
"Holy cow, it’s all correct? What kind of lucky star is this?"
The fishball vendor knows Lin Baici’s power is off the charts, but didn’t realize even his luck was so extraordinary.
With great power and incredible luck, it’s no surprise he became part of the Nine Provinces Dragon Wing in just one year.
"We survived!"
The Gambling God puffs his cheeks, exhales a solid breath, and relaxes, even feeling the urge to pee, but now is not convenient, so he holds it in.
"Haha, Brother Lin is definitely the Luck Goddess’s darling!"
Li Yintong stands with hands on hips, full of spirit: "If I had that luck, I’d buy lottery tickets!"
"Even a favored child wouldn’t have such treatment, would they? I suspect the Luck Goddess might be Lin Baici’s on-demand vessel!"
The Gambling God finishes, quickly raising his hand to slap himself lightly on the cheek a few times.
Dammit!
In a situation like this, careless words should be avoided, as they can lower one’s luck.
"What’s the next pollution?"
Gu Qingqiu asks urgently.
"Beyond the Seven-colored Bridge is the extermination!"
The fishball vendor scans the surroundings: "This round is all about combat power!"
"Though we have four Dragon levels, let’s not get complacent!"
Everyone immediately prepares for battle.
"What kind of pests are we dealing with?"
Xia Hongyao dislikes combat-based pollution, as they lack technical depth.
"Parasites? Anyway, those bugs look like mites, pretty disgusting, as big as a tank!"
The fish ball guy gestured with his hand.
[You’re not actually on the dragon’s back.]
[Climb the vine!]
[If you can’t climb up in time, you will all die!]
Eater God commented.
"Find a random one to climb? Or should everyone climb the same one?"
Lin Baici frowned and immediately asked.
Eater God didn’t answer.
Lin Baici had to make a choice again.
Honestly, the pressure was quite intense, because choosing wrong could lead to someone’s death.
Lin Baici looked at those vines, varying in thickness.
The thinnest was like a stalk of hemp, while the thickest was wide enough for more than a dozen people to wrap their arms around.
"Gambling God, use your eyes to pick the thickest vine!"
Lin Baici instructed.
"What for?"
Gambling God asked while complying.
"Climbing the vine!"
Lin Baici decided everyone should climb the same vine, so if someone encounters trouble, they can respond quickly.
"Huh?"
Gambling God was puzzled: "Did I miss some clue?"
Gu Qingqiu looked at Lin Baici, also waiting for an explanation.
"I guessed!"
Lin Baici couldn’t explain.
Gambling God’s Great Divine Grace was quite useful, quickly finding the thickest vine.
"Over here!"
Gambling God shouted and started running over.
"Full speed sprint!"
Lin Baici urged.
Everyone sprinted over five thousand meters, finally seeing the vine twisted like a doughnut, reaching straight into the sky.
Giant green leaves spread out like clouds.
"Go!"
Lin Baici said, taking the lead and charging onto the vine.
Since the vine was so thick, with the twists and doughnut-like indentations, Lin Baici and the group had enough footholds.
This made climbing relatively easier.
In some places, the slope was only fifty or sixty degrees, making it possible to walk instead of climb.
Of course, climbing upward on this terrain was slow and exhausting.
An hour later, Hua Yue Yu looked down.
Besides the sea of clouds, the ground was no longer visible.
"God Lin, are we climbing to the top?"
Gambling God asked.
"Not sure!"
Lin Baici said, as Xia Hongyao overtook him.
"God Lin, don’t be like this, you are the last hope of the entire village!"
Gambling God wanted to cry: "Give us some assurance!"
"I really don’t know!"
Eater God said if we can’t climb up in time, we’ll die, so where do we need to climb to meet the requirement?
The topmost point?
"Take a break, I’ll lead!"
The person at the front bears the greatest risk, Xia Hongyao didn’t want Lin Baici to be too exhausted.
Lin Baici accepted the kind offer of the high ponytail.
This climb was like embarking on a path of no return, a day passed, and everyone was still on the vine.
With the second day gone, even with Lin Baici’s encouragement and urging, everyone’s pace slowed, even Gambling God and the fish ball guy, despite being Dragon Level, began to lag.
This endless ’path’ was the most tormenting.
Because you don’t know if what you’re doing is useful at all.
As the third day passed, everyone had been on the vine for a full 72 hours.
Gambling God finally couldn’t help but start to discuss with a bit of complaint: "What if we picked the wrong vine?"
On the vine, there’s no way to rest, and the worst thing is, space forbidden items were all ineffective, unable to be opened, naturally everyone couldn’t access supplies.
Even God Hunter, with such high-intensity vine climbing, needed to replenish fluids and eat food.
"Rest for ten minutes!"
Lin Baici saw Gu Qingqiu’s face turn pale and ordered a break.
After three days, everyone found some techniques, as Lin Baici finished speaking, the fish ball guy climbed onto a leaf.
The leaves were large, like carpets, able to let two or three people lie down to rest, the only trouble was the leaves swayed occasionally, and if the body wasn’t fixed, one could fall off.
