I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 530 - 130: Everything Is Within Control

His other emotions weren't worth much, things like happiness, pain, and regret combined weren't enough to get him out.

But fortunately, at the very bottom, he successfully found a peculiar item.

[Selling Sense of Presence/Influence]

[Sell 30% of Sense of Presence or Influence to leave the Cosmic Library]

[Sell 60% of Sense of Presence or Influence, and upon leaving the Cosmic Library, receive a "Good Luck" blessing, doubling your luck, guaranteeing success in gambling and safety through perils]

[Sell 90% of Sense of Presence or Influence to leave the Cosmic Library, and receive a "Great Fortune" blessing, ensuring future success in business and investment]

A line of text with great temptation.

For middle-aged gamblers, "luck" may be elusive, but it is real.

Gamblers go to great lengths to improve their luck, even at the cost of everything they own; some even resort to evil magic, sacrificing their closest kin just to win at the gambling table.

But most of these methods are nothing but crooked paths, basically ineffective.

And now, just by selling that so-called sense of presence or influence, he could gain great fortune...

Wouldn't heaven itself be helping him win back all his money and bring him wealth and prosperity?

The middle-aged man couldn't help but click on it immediately, placing his finger on the option to sell 90% of his sense of presence or influence.

However, before selling, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are this sense of presence and influence? Will selling them affect my body?"

"Generally speaking, it won't."

Deng waved his hand, smiling as he explained, "What we call a sense of presence is essentially how noticeable you are in the eyes of others; the more noticeable, the higher the sense of presence, and vice versa."

"If you sell your sense of presence, then from this day forth, it will be difficult for others to notice you, even if you are right in front of them making small movements, they won't perceive it."

These words left the middle-aged man stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

For someone like him, who frequents major casinos and brothels, if he can reduce his sense of presence so others won't notice him, wouldn't that allow him to cheat as he pleases? No one would notice if he cheats in front of others by dealing or playing cards?

This... this isn't a price at all! It's clearly a benefit!

He felt that Deng was doing charity, allowing him both great fortune and invincibility in gambling.

This trip was definitely worth it!

"And what about influence?"

He licked his dry lips and pursued another question.

"Ah, that... it refers to how much influence you have on this world."

"Selling it would mean that your influence on the world weakens."

She chuckled, answering casually.

"It doesn't seem like anything particularly important."

The middle-aged man thought it over and then placed his hand on the signing panel.

But just as he was about to sign, he hesitated again.

"Could it be that guy came to his senses?"

Yun You wondered curiously, but the man's next words left her somewhat baffled.

"What reward or event occurs if I sell 100% of the sense of presence and influence?"

He turned back to fix his burning gaze on Deng.

"Who knows, no one has tried it before."

Deng tilted his head, casually saying, "But I imagine, maybe there's a greater reward, and the sense of presence is completely null."

"Perhaps you'll gain an 'invisibility' effect... possibly."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated.

Invisibility, that was an ability exclusive to superhumans, an ability of the Apprentice Death God!

Now, without becoming an Apprentice Death God, he could possess such a superpower, which was a huge temptation for an ordinary person.

So, he directly used the transaction panel to set the sale of presence and influence to 100% and then signed his name.

The contract took effect immediately.

At the same time, Yun You suddenly discovered that golden light emerged simultaneously from all around the library's walls and bookshelves, flowing from the books and merging into his body.

The air in the library suddenly became thick and carried a slight sweet scent.

"The contract is established."

A commanding voice, with some reverberation, slowly came from the void.

"Woosh—"

Suddenly, the golden serpents of light expanded, became a torrent, and rushed into the man's senses.

He felt his sense of presence slowly weakening, but it didn't matter because he could also feel his luck becoming unstoppable, the power of great fortune meandering inside him with the influx of golden light.

Yet, this was not the end; the golden light continued to pour into his body, persistently infusing it...

Suddenly, he noticed something wasn't right, the "amount" of fortune was enormous, so large that a normal person couldn't possibly withstand it.

His body was like a balloon, and luck was the air inside, perhaps luck could keep growing, reaching heights he long desired but could never achieve, but if it grew too much, his fate had only one end...

"Boom—!"

Finally, after the golden infusion reached its limit, the middle-aged man's body burst like fireworks.

Blood beads flew everywhere, bones shattered, viscera turned into grains, evenly dispersing around, forming a bloody, fuzzy "ball."

Perhaps due to the strong fortune, even after his body burst, the man's consciousness did not immediately dissipate, enduring unimaginable pain.

He struggled, furiously questioning Deng why he had been deceived and trapped...

But Deng just smiled.

"Wasn't this all your choice? Greed knows no bounds, much like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"Had you not pushed the sale to 100%, you could have left here safe and sound, with a fortune and special ability."

"Unfortunately, you chose the only path to death."

"Haha, losing 100% of presence and influence really does make you invisible, I didn't lie."

"Disappearing from this world naturally counts as permanent invisibility~"

Deng's laughter grew louder, more hysterical, so much so that even Yun You on the side was a bit startled.

This wasn't some obedient child, it was clearly a broken mad girl!

Hmm, somewhat similar to her, Yun You...

After a moment, those golden lights suddenly transformed into tendrils, constantly smacking the blood-mud-bone-spiked mass, as if making rice cakes.

"Splat! Splat...!"

Under their strikes, the mass rapidly shrank, continuously restructuring.

The dark red plasma gradually formed well-shaped characters, the muscles were hammered into paper, and the bone marrow in the gaps served as glue, binding the sheets together, simultaneously urging the words onto the page.

Skin naturally transformed into a pale pink cover, enclosing the pages.

Eventually, as the tendrils vanished, the nauseating ball of flesh was gone, replaced by a white book about 300 pages thick.

It floated gently, eventually landing beside Deng.

Deng took the book, flipping through it slightly, the pages were new, with not even a hint of blood, only a faint scent of wood.

A living person had thus been made into a book, and its appearance was nearly identical to the volumes within the Cosmic Library.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Yun You seemed to realize something, gazing at the endless shelves with some shock.

Could all the books in the library have come about this way? How many people would have to be killed to achieve it...?

"Haha, don't misunderstand."

Deng guessed Yun You's thoughts once more, smiling and shaking her head.

"My books are different from the library's, they're something I've tinkered with, studying the library's principles, you can think of them as an inferior version of the library's books."

"But these books are quite interesting, if you read them, perhaps you'll get a 'hint of destiny'~"

With that, she casually tossed it to Yun You.

"Take it, this book is for you."

"It's the third hint of destiny I mentioned before, as a gift to you."

"Open it after leaving the Cosmic Library, and you'll receive that hint."

Receiving the book, Yun You fell into silence.

She understood now...

Perhaps, from the moment the middle-aged man appeared, Deng had already foreseen his fate, which is why she promised Yun You such a bizarre "reward."

Deng... her ability was unfathomable.
