Battle Online: My Luck Is So High It's Basically Cheating

Most of what Dragon God - Old Eight said was true.

Only the price for the other party’s intervention was not true.

The other party only asked for one million gold coins, but from Dragon God - Old Eight’s mouth, it immediately became ten million.

There was no other way; it was because there were no SSS Talent professionals in the Nine Provinces.

The people from the Nine Great Guilds had no idea what the price for such people to act was.

And Dragon God - Old Eight had only met the other party by chance.

Of course, there was another reason: these few individuals believed that earning gold coins wasn’t that difficult.

Because of their series of operations, they could fleece countless riches from ordinary people.

So they simply didn’t understand how difficult it was for an ordinary person to earn a single gold coin.

Moreover, due to the game’s mechanics, it wasn’t easy for ordinary people to level up either.

It was very likely that a single moment of carelessness would lead to death at the hands of a monster, followed by a level drop.

Therefore, they didn’t harbor too much suspicion toward Dragon God - Old Eight’s words.

Caleb frowned and asked, "Isn’t this price a bit too high?"

"We lost an entire city this time and only managed to scrape together tens of millions of gold coins in total."

"The other party only has to act once, yet they want ten million."

Dragon God - Old Eight said with a helpless look, "I also think the price is a bit high, but they are sticking to it and won’t budge. I’ve been negotiating with them for several days."

Caleb said, "Fine, then our Nine Great Guilds will share the cost of this ten million!"

"I wonder what everyone else thinks!"

The others didn’t agree immediately; instead, they carefully reviewed the situation.

After all, even if split equally, each guild would have to shell out over a million gold coins.

This million-plus was no small sum.

But then they thought about the surging number of people leaving the guilds these past few days.

If this continued and they lost those ordinary guild members, they wouldn’t have enough power to fleece ordinary players.

Then their guilds would be finished.

After a long while, they finally agreed.

They didn’t want to lose power; once they did, it would be difficult for their combat power to increase as rapidly as it was now.

"Fine, we, Years - Peaceful, agree."

"My XX Guild also agrees."

...

Soon, all the remaining guild leaders had agreed.

Seeing everyone’s pained expressions, Dragon God - Old Eight couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

This time, he wouldn’t spend a single gold coin and could even pocket several million.

He felt wonderful inside.

"Actually, everyone doesn’t need to feel so pained. As long as we can take down Falling into the Human World, these gold coins will be nothing but a drop in the bucket for you, right?"

"Each of our guilds has nearly a hundred million people under our jurisdiction. When the time comes, we’ll just find a reason to charge a bit more in fees."

"That million-plus gold coins will come back, and we can even earn more."

"Just right, didn’t we conduct a census a few days ago? In the future, we can directly charge a per-capita management fee of one silver coin per year."

"With a hundred million people, that’s a million gold coins right there."

When everyone heard Dragon God - Old Eight’s words, they thought about it.

It seemed that was indeed the case; as long as their guilds didn’t fall, wouldn’t fleecing ordinary players be simple?

...

"Holy crap, who is this? Who dares to attack a branch of the Gods Guild?"

"And they’re doing it out in the open! Whose subordinate is this, to be so brave?"

"Look at that set of equipment, doesn’t it look familiar?"

"So it’s Falling into the Human World. No wonder he dares to attack a Gods Guild branch. Tsk, tsk, this Falling into the Human World is really ruthless!"

"The real world is already facing such a crisis, yet this Falling into the Human World ignores it and attacks the Gods Guild. He has no sense of the bigger picture at all."

"Yeah, what if our Gu Du City faces a monster siege in the future? Are we supposed to defend it ourselves?"

At this moment, at Tengfei Plaza, countless players who hadn’t entered Battle Online were watching Lucien demolish the building.

Some cheered, while others naturally cursed.

But no one dared to step forward to stop him; they all knew Falling into the Human World’s fearsome reputation.

The smart ones were already distancing themselves from those who had just cursed Lucien.

This was reality, not the internet where you could insult someone without consequences.

And Lucien naturally heard the disrespectful voices directed at him.

Lucien looked toward the people shouting at him and casually sent out a Soul Fire Talisman.

The person didn’t even have time to react before being turned into dust.

Seeing how ruthless Lucien was, the onlookers immediately retreated.

At this point, they didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, afraid that one wrong word would earn them the same fate.

Actually, Lucien was also somewhat speechless.

Cursing was one thing, but not even paying attention to the situation?

He had the ability to crush them at will. Who gave them the courage to actually dare to curse him?

Did they really think this was an online argument?

In today’s society, since the arrival of Battle Online, the law of the jungle had fully taken over.

Under the attack of the nine zombies, the building soon collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, Lucien did not leave immediately; instead, he commanded the zombies to search for survivors in the ruins.

Everyone here was a player in Battle Online, and their vitality was strong.

The collapse of the building couldn’t possibly crush them to death.

He hadn’t come here just to destroy a building.

He came to kill.

Since he had warned them long ago and they still refused to leave the Gods Guild, they had to bear the consequences.

Soon, bursts of firelight appeared within the ruins.

Along with it came screams of agony.

Lucien stood at the perimeter, watching quietly to prevent anyone from escaping.

Gradually, the screams became fewer and fewer.

Soon, the nine zombies returned to his side.

However, at that very moment, a strong sense of danger came from behind him.

Immediately after, Lucien felt a sharp pain in his back.

His figure instantly vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a small paper man.

Substitute Paper Man

Passive Skill

Randomly teleports the user to any point within one hundred meters.

Lucien broke out in a cold sweat; his health had dropped to less than one percent.

Without hesitation, he directly activated Heaven and Earth Share the Same Fate.

When Luck reaches 0, the Demon God will personally descend to claim the user’s soul.

Cooldown: Seven days

He still hadn’t located the enemy, but what Lucien needed right now was those ten seconds of invincibility.

This was the greatest crisis he had faced since his rebirth.
