The gamblers watching the big screen shook their heads and turned to watch other gambling games.
“Wait, what’s that!?”
“No, why is she glowing, damn!”
The onlookers were filled with shock and confusion because, just as the woman finished saying, “May the gods bless me,” she became covered in a layer of white light.
It looked very strange.
The gamblers who were about to leave heard the onlookers’ exclamations, turned back in bewilderment, and looked at the betting ring again.
They also saw the white light around the woman.
The light was clean and pure, not blinding, like a halo attached to the woman.
If you didn’t look carefully, you might think she was just wearing white clothes that reflected the sunlight.
But everyone knew it wasn’t that, because the light felt very gentle, as if it could cleanse all filth and sin.
It calmed their hearts a bit, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Even though they were in the Life and Death Casino, they felt like they were in a field of blooming flowers, with warm sunlight shining on them.
Extremely warm.
The players watching weren’t too surprised; as players, they always had some life-saving measures.
This might just be some kind of item.
Only Li Ruoshi knew it wasn’t. She had already used up her items; otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent all her coins to send her teammates away.
She stayed behind with a mindset of certain death.
Li Ruoshi looked at her hands in a daze, subconsciously clenched them, and felt an unprecedented power.
Strong and gentle.
Even the injuries on her body seemed to be healed, making her feel warm all over.
Was it... a god?
The staff watching Li Ruoshi’s anomaly stopped in their tracks and narrowed their eyes.
This woman’s aura had changed.
She had become stronger.
Aura was equivalent to a person’s soul; this woman’s soul had become stronger in an instant.
This was a baffling situation.
It was extremely difficult to strengthen a person’s soul, and even the shop in their life-and-death gambling arena basically has nothing targeting the soul.
But somehow, this woman’s soul changed.
It was as if she became a different person in an instant.
It was impossible for someone to be swapped out in the middle of a gamble.
The disdain and scorn in the staff member’s eyes disappeared, replaced by vigilance.
The light around Li Ruoshi lasted for about ten seconds before gradually fading away.
However, Li Ruoshi could still feel that the power hadn’t disappeared.
Her gaze became incredibly firm. Then, she gripped the sword in her hand tightly and charged quickly towards the staff member.
She was hundreds of times stronger than before, making it impossible to see that she was merely a support-type player.
The onlooking players were stunned.
What kind of item could be this powerful?
Could it be one of those items that burn life or soul once used?
There were indeed such items in the system’s shop, and they weren’t particularly cheap, nor particularly expensive.
After all, there’s a high possibility of dying on the spot after using them, so they weren’t very popular among players.
***
Ruan Qing’s fingertips gently rubbed the tablet a few more times, absentmindedly watching the screen.
A god...
So that’s what’s going on.
The system that wanted to hide the truth: “...”
He knew this would happen if ordinary people weren’t isolated.
And it couldn’t be hidden, anyway.
Forget it. It couldn’t be hidden for long in the first place, so knowing it was fine.
With him watching, there’s no way it could happen again.
Ruan Qing had been watching the tablet for almost ten minutes since opening the video, much more seriously than when watching the previous gamble.
The viewers in the livestream room sensed that something was amiss.
[Why is my husband looking at that person so intently? Could he be interested in her? No, please don’t! I won’t accept it! I absolutely won’t accept this marriage!]
[Although the girl is a good person, I can’t accept it either! Even good people can’t steal my husband! Husband, please stop looking at her, okay?]
[Husband, are you going to find another dog? Is another dog as obedient as I am? Is another dog as well-behaved as I am? Is another dog as fun as I am?]
Despite the lamentations in the livestream room, Ruan Qing continued watching the video.
It was as if he truly had taken a liking to the person in the video.
Li Ruoshi seemed to be not very good at fighting. Even though she had already gained great power, she still couldn’t match the staff.
Because she had strength but didn’t know how to use it, like a three-year-old holding a gun.
She didn’t even know how to shoot.
Moreover, the staff themselves were monsters, so fast that Li Ruoshi couldn’t react in time, and the wounds on her body increased over time.
If this continued, she might still not win.
Ruan Qing watched the tablet thoughtfully, and in the next second, gently closed his eyes.
The system had been watching Ruan Qing all along, and when he saw Ruan Qing closing his eyes, he sneered, [If you dare to try, I will control the staff and kill her before you can.]
Your own soul is unstable, and you still want to try descending?
After receiving the recognition of a god, a believer becomes an apostle of the god and could receive the god’s blessing, gaining a trace of the god’s power.
A god could descend beside an apostle or even onto the apostle’s body.
But all this was based on the god being a true god, a god with a divine status, a god with an incredibly strong soul.
Not a god whose soul was shattered and had lost its divine status.
Not even a god that the rules of this game might not recognize.
In such a situation, attempting to descend would only make his soul even more fragile and could even cost him his life.
Because descending involved crossing the barriers of time and space, without sufficient power, one could not withstand it.
Ordinary people might have their souls torn apart by time and space the moment they crossed the barrier.
Upon hearing the system’s warning, Ruan Qing opened his eyes and did not try again.
Because the system’s voice just now was very cold, it was obvious that he wasn’t joking.
If he really dared to try, the system would probably really kill the other party.
“Is it nice to look at?” A familiar male voice sounded in Ruan Qing’s ear.
Ruan Qing’s heart suddenly tightened upon hearing the voice, his slender white fingers gripping the tablet tightly. He instinctively looked up at the man standing next to him.
It was... Su Zhen.
Seeing clearly that it was Su Zhen, Ruan Qing’s eyes widened in shock. He even took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and Su Zhen.
Obviously, he hadn’t expected to run into Su Zhen here.
Su Zhen looked at Ruan Qing, who had raised his head to look at him. He didn’t mind Ruan Qing’s attitude of avoiding him like a plague, but instead smiled at him and gently spoke again. “Is she nice to look at?”
Su Zhen’s eyes didn’t show any intention to kill, nor were they dark and cold. Even his tone didn’t have much fluctuation.
But it carried an indescribable hint of danger.
It made one’s scalp tingle.
It even inexplicably instilled a sense of fear, as if the temperature in the air had dropped considerably.
sounds familiar but i forgot who su zhen was lmao
