The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 688 - 685: The Number "Five

Master Mo disappeared in a wisp of smoke.

"Why do I suddenly feel so flustered and disoriented?"

Xin Lin felt her eyelids twitching uncontrollably, her inner sense of unease growing stronger, as if something was about to happen.

She closed her eyes, attempting to use her superpower to see what was going on.

But perhaps due to her agitation, her mind remained chaotic, and she couldn’t discern anything.

She turned instead to the "Spiritual Delicacies" book, finding that she had lost interest in One and Two-Star Spiritual Food.

As she browsed through, she noticed that the highest grade in the Spiritual Delicacies was Four-star.

Moreover, anything above Three-star required rare ingredients like Dark Spirit Beast Meat, which she didn’t have at hand.

Suddenly, she lost her appetite for cooking and sent her silly dad off to the Dining Hall to buy some steamed buns and vegetables to make do for a meal.

After applying the ointment, Little Xinzhuo fell into a deep sleep again.

Xin Lin closed the door and waited for Master Mo’s return, the feeling of unease intensifying.

From the pond outside the courtyard came the sound of splashing water.

Xin Lin walked over and saw the lotus leaves in the pond shaking and a slick bald head popped up.

The black fish fry in the pond had grown a little, now about as wide as two fingers.

A few crabs and crayfish, brought back today by her silly dad and the Overlord Egg, were lurking at the edge of the pond. They had adapted well to the pond and were quickly chasing after the black fish fry.

The fry fought back valiantly, constantly slapping their tails at these new unfamiliar guests.

Xin Lin watched for a while, but was unable to calm her restless heart.

She checked the hour and realized that Master Mo had been gone for half an hour without returning yet.

After some thought, she headed back to the School Clinic.

"I’ve gained quite a bit of Heaven-defying Value lately, perhaps I should try the Opportunity Dice again."

They say a little gamble can lift one’s spirits.

For Xin Lin, rolling the Opportunity Dice had the thrill of a gamble.

Over the past few months, Xin Lin had rolled various numbers on the Opportunity Dice – one, two, three, four, six – with some numbers only being rollable once.

Excluding the frustrating "participation prize," the only number Xin Lin had not yet rolled was "five."

Xin Lin peered at her accrued Heaven-defying Value, which had reached around 300 thanks to the Sky-reaching Water and some previous income from consultations.

She silently called for the Opportunity Dice.

In the palm of her hand, a dice suddenly appeared.

With a flick of her finger, the dice rolled wobbily.

After a moment, it came to a stop, looking as if it was about to land on "five."

But, to her dismay, the dice slipped mischievously.

It unexpectedly turned to "six."

"Damn it!"

Xin Lin watched as the "participation prize" deducted 10 Heaven-defying Value.

Why did it feel like even the Opportunity Dice had learned how to cheat?

Unwilling to give up, she rolled again.

The dice tumbled once more, spinning rapidly.

Just as it seemed to settle on "five," the dice wobbled again and changed to "four." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She gained a Qi Stone and lost another 10 Heaven-defying Value.

Xin Lin clenched her teeth.

With another flick of her fingers, the dice rolled again.

Finally, it landed on "five."

Xin Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Life Book Notification: Congratulations life master, you have obtained ’Mist Incense,’ Heaven-defying Value -10."

After three dice rolls on the Heaven-defying Book, Xin Lin’s Heaven-defying Value had dropped to 296, still quite a bit away from upgrading her Jade Purification Tank.

The Opportunity Dice in Xin Lin’s hand vanished, replaced by a slender stick of incense.
