Demon Game: I Have a Dice of Fate

Chapter 1 The Dice of Destiny
Blue Potato Kingdom, Tallinn, slums.

This is the third rain since the beginning of autumn, and the majestic water seems to be still in summer.

The bleak autumn wind brought torrential rain, completely washing the entire slum and shivering.

"Tick, tick!"

In the most remote corner of the street, in a simple rental house.

The gray-black rain permeated tenaciously, creating a bead curtain for the owner of the room.

Heavy rain outside, light rain inside, this is Chen Qi's unpretentious life.

······
"Is there really a pie in the sky?"

"Any wish can come true without paying a price!"

Chen Qi stared at the bronze dice floating in front of him, not paying attention to the rainwater dripping on his body.

Just before the heavy rain came, he was just an ordinary migrant worker.

But when he returned home in the rain and fell into the black mud, the dice miraculously appeared.

[Three wishes can be fulfilled for free by casting the corresponding points]

This is the information that suddenly appeared in Chen Qi's mind after he picked up the dice.

······
Excited, unbelievable, ecstatic?
Chen Qi only remembered that after looking around, he frantically ran back to the rental house.

But after calming down, Chen Qi hesitated instead. Could this be some kind of evil trap? Can people really get something for nothing?

The numb and mediocre life in the past is tightly restraining him at this moment.

······
In the room, the bronze dice are still floating quietly.

It is a standard icosahedron with points from 20 to 1 marked on it.

In addition, there are some fuzzy patterns and patterns on each surface, but it doesn't seem to be a problem of wear and tear, but Chen Qi is simply unable to see clearly.

What's more special is that some [faces] are also engraved with words.

Chen Qi counted them carefully, [1], [14], [15], [17], [19], [20], these [faces] have engraved characters.

The handwriting of the lettering is completely different, and the script used is completely unfamiliar.

But what's weird is that even though Chen Qi didn't know these words, he still understood the message above [1].

"Throw the corresponding number of points, and three wishes can be granted for free. (Note: Each person only has three opportunities to throw, and the size of the wish that can be fulfilled is determined by the number of points)"

······
"Ding ding, ding ding!"

The communicator rang suddenly, awakening Chen Qi who was in deep thought.

"Next month's rent has been advanced, and I'll give you three days."

"There is another 200 rent increase, don't bargain with me, this is the protection fee of Heilongtang."

The landlord's rough and hoarse voice sounded like a jackal howling.

But Chen Qi has no ability to resist at all, because his salary can only afford to live here.

Oh, no, I can't afford to live anymore.

Just today, he was unemployed, which is why Chen Qi was able to go home before dark.

Before Chen Qi could "struggle", the landlord hung up the call abruptly.

After that, all Chen Qi's previous hesitation and hesitation were broken.

In his current life, he has nothing to lose.

······
"The gods from eternity, the great ancestors of mankind, the ancestors of the Chen family, please grant me boundless luck!"

After washing his face and hands, and putting on the most decent clothes, Chen Qi lit three cigarettes and prayed sincerely.

This is already the most [metaphysical] way he can think of to increase luck in a short period of time.

Ordinary dice may still be able to cheat, but such a miraculous dice should only depend on luck.

After the cigarette was burned out, Chen Qi took the dice in his hand and cast his life with incomparable solemnity.

······
The moment it was thrown, the bronze dice emitted a rainbow of light, and then truly appeared in the real world.

The dice suspended in the air before seemed to exist only in Chen Qi's cognition, and had no effect on the surrounding world at all.

Except that Chen Qi can feel and touch, it can penetrate anything.

But after the dice appeared in the real world, Chen Qi couldn't touch it anymore. He could only watch it fall to the ground, roll a few times and stop motionless.

【4】

An extremely heart-wrenching number appeared in Chen Qi's eyes, and all previous fantasies disappeared in an instant.

The dice floated in the air again, and then Chen Qi only needs to say his wish, and it will come true.

······
"Hey, what wish can be fulfilled at [4]?"

Realizing again that he is just an ordinary person and not a child of luck, Chen Qi tries to communicate with the bronze dice.

But no response!
Unwilling to give up, Chen Qi began to try one wish after another. Anyway, if he didn't express his wish himself, the wish would not be triggered.

And there is no time limit for making a wish, it's just that you can't throw it again until the first wish is fulfilled.

"I want to live forever!"

【Not enough points】

"I want to get superpowers."

【Not enough points】

Chen Qi's experiment actually had feedback, which immediately aroused his curiosity, and he began to experiment continuously.

Half an hour later, Chen Qi felt that his brain was overused, and his mind was even blank.

But he finally determined to what extent [4 points] can fulfill his wish.

"Win the 3000 million grand prize! [Yes]

"The body grows again!" [OK]

"Full recovery of a cancer patient" [OK]

"Master 1 foreign languages ​​in one day" [Yes]

"One year to become the chief of police" [possible]

"Self-comminuted fracture, recover immediately" [Yes]

"..."

"It's really a magical and terrifying power. It's only 4 o'clock to achieve this level."

"If it's seventeen or eight o'clock, wouldn't it be possible to live forever?"

At this time, Chen Qi, swept away from the previous depression, was full of desire and ambition.

Even if there are only [4] points, it is enough to make him flourish immediately and completely change his life.

But what kind of wish to make, Chen Qi had a hard time deciding.

······
"[4 points] limits the upper limit of wishes, and cannot make me transcend mortals."

"Everyone needs power, wealth, and good health!"

"I am in good health. If I choose 3000 million yuan, like a child holding money in the market, it will definitely cause trouble. If I have to, I am afraid that I will make a wish immediately."

"There are only three opportunities to make a wish, and you must use it carefully for the long-term."

"Choosing power takes too long and there are too many intermediate variables."

"After all, my social status is too low to bear too much risk, but I don't want to compromise. I only have three chances to change my destiny. I must use it to the extreme."

After thinking over and over again, Chen Qi finally made up his mind.

Since the social status is not enough, then improve the social status.

When testing his wishes before, thinking of being dismissed without reason today, Chen Qi, who was resentful in his heart, wondered whether he could become the chairman of the group.

However, it is unbelievable that it actually [can].

What he wants to be is the chairman of [Cross Group], a private company with a wealth of at least 1 million, which is obviously [exceeding the specification].

Even more incredible is that it only takes two days to realize this process.

And when Chen Qi wanted to become the general manager of a subsidiary company of the group, that is, the company he worked for before, it took him a month.

This weird situation definitely hides some mechanism of [Wishing].

"Since there are risks, let's fight big!"

"I make a wish and become the chairman of [Cross Group] within two days!"

Facing the bronze dice, Chen Qi firmly stated his wish.
