Chapter 878: Talk with Gambler (2/2)
”No wonder the gods are having a good time in the Palace of inheritance, no one really likes to lose this feeling. But all good things must come to an end.
But before that, let me just give you, your special blessing exclusive to you.”
With that, there is a bright light falling on him which made him feel lighter and also made him go through the same process as Arman before. His body seemed to have been reconstructed from the core. He felt like a re-forged sword with all the nicks and rust completely gone, a brand new blade that could slice through anything like a knife through butter.
After that, it came to Sam's prizes.
The main prize of the Palace of inheritance, the beast Sam asked.
It looked like it is a football-sized grasshopper and its skin is semitransparent.
This is the beast he was waiting for. The beast is called the Void hopper. The very beast is supposed to have a great grasp on space without even its knowledge. But from the looks of it, the appearance of the current beast in his hands is not exactly the same as before.
Along with that, there are many transference scrolls other small stuff along with it. The points are around a million once again. Sam once again gathered the most points with the most killings of the beasts.
Apart from that, there is nothing much Sam wanted to speak to Gambler about. He is really satisfied with this.
He really didn't like this Gambler a guy who is hiding his face from the very soul he abducted for fun. If he doesn't even have the guts to show his face off like this, then what kind of person is he, or what kind of god is he.
”Come on, speak to me more. Are you sure you want to just leave like this? I mean, you might not be able to meet me for a century or two.”
Sam didn't answer instantly, he is clearly hesitating.
”You are like my mentor in this whole game, right?”
”Yes.”
”So, how should I proceed in the future?”
The gambler was clearly surprised. From the start, he knew that Sam doesn't have any good impression of him and he didn't expect him to have and doesn't care what kind of impression he could have.
All he needs is a capable player to play the game for him and win.
”I am really surprised. I am very sure that you won't rip my face off completely and pull my tongue if you get a chance and you are still asking me how you should proceed? I didn't expect that. You are way beyond my expectations in all aspects.
As for the question, keep going the same way you are going. There is something the other players are ignoring now which couldn't be revealed at the moment, but you accidentally got a hold of it. That is also one of the reasons that the rest of the gods hate you. I am in no position to reveal exactly what it is. So, just proceed the way you are.”
Sam nodded and replied.
”Then I am done, you can take me back to the rest of the players.”
Both of them disappeared from the spot and reappeared in the main hall. Gambler is standing beside Ling Tian and his face changed back to obscurity without any face showing at all.
Sam looked around to check the players and he was surprised to find out Kumar is indeed injured.
He ran to him quickly and checked his injuries. He is laying on the ground extremely helpless with the players trying to feed the potions and medicines to him.
He seemed to be poisoned by an extremely potent one.
Sam looked at Ling Tian and asked.
”Why didn't you heal him?”
”There are no more safety nets Sam. You are responsible for your own life.”
Sam cursed them under his breath and took out the heavenly wine as well as got ready to suck the poison out. But Kumar stopped him and smiled.
”I have waited for too long. If only you came a bit earlier. I am actually waiting for you. But that gave him time to think, what is the point of living like this? Being tied up with strings that are not even visible and felt.
The past few minutes are the moments that I felt most alive in this second life.
Just leave me be.”
Sam gritted his teeth at those words. It seems like the deaths are affecting him more than he thought.
