After a while, the dice creature also came to Chen Lin's rest hall. After some encouragement, many people placed bets.
The Heavenly Fire Evil God did not move.
Chen Lin watched with cold eyes.
He even more suspected that the other party was connected with the dice creature.
Otherwise, given the opponent's flamboyant personality, it would be impossible not to place a bet on him, probably because he is afraid that placing a bet will violate the rules of the Golden Hook Casino.
What the other party needs to do is to conceal the means to get the first place, but also show that he is determined to win. In this way, the odds will be higher, and no one will be optimistic about him, so no one will bet on him at all.
Chen Lin sneered in his heart.
Although I don’t know what the opponent’s methods are, since the thread of fate has been severed, there is no possibility of getting the first place.
After collecting the bet, the dice creature got up and left, going to another room.
Before leaving, he glanced at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin ignored it.
The other party must think that his thousand-year life has been lost to the Golden Hook Gambling House, so let the other party be happy for a while.
He also did not interact with other tourists.
These creatures from the nightmare world are all incomprehensible. Apart from making them angry, no useful information can be gleaned from them.
As for the explorers in the real world, he didn't see any of them.
Xu Wuye and the people from Bai Yutai didn't show up either. I don't know if they didn't come to participate or if they were in other rest halls.
Chen Lin didn't care either.
Whether the other party participates or not has little impact.
What needs to be considered now is whether he will use the art of silence after the competition begins.
After thinking about it, I think I still need to use it.
Although it has been determined by innate ability, destiny is not static. The matter is not over yet and everything is unknown.
Niu Niu reminded him in her letter that fate can only guide, not solidify.
Therefore, destiny ability cannot be relied on absolutely.
Chen Lin weighs the pros and cons.
There are so many contestants this time. If we don't use the technique of silence, we may not be able to get the first place.
At that time, not only will he not be able to get the prize from the competition, but he will also have to work for the Golden Hook Gambling House for a thousand years.
Absolutely not.
As for being discovered, let's wait until it is discovered.
He has a gold medal to avoid death. If he finds out, the most he can do is to be disqualified from winning the award, and there will be no unbearable consequences.
Of course, the main reason is that when he used his innate abilities to infer, he included the art of silence.
If not used, the inferred results will be inaccurate.
This can also prove sideways that the Art of Tranquility is unlikely to be discovered.
After looking at it, it would take a while before the competition started. Chen Lin had a thought in his mind and once again visualized the picture of destiny in his mind.
Imagine yourself winning first place in a competition.
However, the screen did not respond.
Frowning, Chen Lin could only take out a pure source ball again and absorb it.
These origin balls were not ordinary ones, but high-purity and complete ones that he had worked hard to collect, and he got three in total.
This type of origin ball is very rare.
I just used one, and now I'm using another, leaving only the last one, which made Chen Lin look pained.
But there is nothing we can do.
Without this object, the lines of destiny cannot be manifested here.
Sure enough, after the energy of the source ball was absorbed, a hazy line slowly emerged.
Very light.
But vaguely, it can be seen that it is complete.
No chips or breaks.
This made Chen Lin feel relieved.
If the results of two consecutive guesses are the same, then there is no difference.
After thinking for a while, he imagined what would happen if he didn't use the technique of silence.
The picture remains unchanged.
This result was expected, so I didn’t think much about it.
While the Origin Ball was still in effect, Chen Lin made another calculation about the Heavenly Fire Evil God.
This time I couldn't show the lines.
It's the same thing if Lilia and Bluva are replaced, the screen doesn't react at all.
Jiang dispersed the picture and Chen Lin fell into thinking.
Even with the use of the Origin Ball, the lines of the Heavenly Fire Evil God cannot be manifested. Then the previous situation must have been interfered by external factors.
But what is the reason that causes the other party's fate to suddenly change?
This is very confusing.
Because the other party is clearly here, there is nothing unusual, and I don't seem to notice it at all.
After thinking for a while and unable to think of a reason, Chen Lin could only give up.
At this time, Lady Sheila flew to the stage and announced the start of the competition.
The stage lights dimmed.
Shadows appeared one after another in the audience. They were all children, but they were hazy and could not be seen clearly.
Chen Lin inspected them one by one, but couldn't see the baby face in the bottle scene.
But it's hard to say that the other person is definitely no longer there. The figure is too blurry to be absolutely confirmed. There are a few people on the seats who seem to be somewhat similar.
Put away distracting thoughts and focus on the stage.
The first person to appear was the Heavenly Fire Evil God.
Chen Lin watched the whole process without being distracted at all, and even took the initiative to get involved in the story.
I didn't forget to use the art of tranquility, but for the sake of caution, I didn't use it too obviously, but used it intermittently.
He was not discovered, no one came forward to accuse him, and neither Lady Sheila nor the Fairy Tale Elf expressed anything.
This made Chen Lin feel completely relaxed.
The special way of performing the art of silence is still concealed enough. As long as the fairy tale elf does not react, others cannot sense it.
It didn't take long for the story of the Skyfire Evil God to be told.
But Chen Lin was even more suspicious.
The other party's story has no highlights, the content is pale and dry, and there is no unique artistic conception.
Not to mention first place, if we go by the standards of previous competitions, I am afraid that I will be in the bottom ten, or even last place.
Even if there are more people participating this time, the overall level of the story will drop, and the opponent will not get a good ranking.
Could it be that the other party is the same as him, and has some means to interfere with other contestants?
Chen Lin came up with this idea.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
The creatures in the nightmare world have all kinds of strange methods. Even he, an explorer, can learn the secret method of silence. It is impossible that there are no other similar methods.
In this case, you really need to be careful not to capsize in the gutter.
After thinking about it, the second contestant came on stage.
Still a tourist.
The ranking of the competition this time was not determined by drawing lots, but was announced by Sir Sheila. The last one was named one.
The reward and punishment rules are also different from before. There are rewards for the top 30, and the richness has also been improved a lot. The reward for the first place has reached 100 gold nightmare coins!
The number of people punished by the other party has also changed to thirty, but the amount of punishment has not changed much. The last one still has one hundred gold nightmare coins.
It should be a change made for tourists' experience.
The second participating tourist is called Gu Gu Lun, a very strange name.
The other party was not in his lounge, and Chen Lin didn't know what he looked like, but the story he told was very attractive and had the power of artistic conception.
Even he listened with great interest.
If judged fairly, he must be in the top ten and have the strength to compete for first place, but after being interfered with by his quiet technique, it's hard to say.
The stories on the stage are constantly changing.
After you sing, I will appear on stage, each one more exciting than the other.
Chen Lin's expression became more and more solemn.
These tourists come from different scenes, are affected by different environments, and have different customs. The stories they tell are all very novel.
Based on his true ability, he is no match.
And as Fairy Tale Town continues to open up, the number of tourists will definitely increase, and the difficulty of the story contest will become higher and higher.
If the Art of Tranquility becomes unusable at some point, or if someone's method is more powerful than his, then he will no longer be able to get the prize from the competition.
This channel for obtaining gold nightmare coins has become unstable.
Chen Lin felt that he had to find a way to increase the popularity of Rainbow Castle. Making money from the fairy tale house was the right way.
But this time the first place has one hundred gold nightmare coins, which will be enough for him to use for a while as long as he gets it.
Time passes day by day.
The contestants who took the stage in the early stage were all tourists. It was not until the third day that residents of Fairy Tale Town began to appear on stage.
Due to the large number of people, it took more than ten days for the competition to come to an end.
Because there was basically no rest in the middle, in the later stages, Chen Lin could no longer maintain the tranquility technique for a long time, and could only block a small part of each story.
This made him, who originally had the pearl of wisdom, a little worried.
But having already reached this point, he couldn't stop the story contest, so he could only suppress his worries.
"Okay, now let's invite the last contestant, our defending champion, Your Excellency Chen Lin, to make his grand appearance!"
Lady Sheila's voice surrounded the theater, and all the tourists in the lounge looked at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin nodded, stood up with an indifferent expression, and followed the reception doll to the lecture room.
He is still talking about Journey to the West.
He was sensing while telling the story to prevent anyone from using special means to interfere with him.
But until the story was finished, no abnormalities were found.
The next step is to wait.
The evaluation criteria have not changed, it is the children in the audience who have the final say.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the stage lights came on and the figures in the audience disappeared one after another.
Lady Sheila flew to the stage.
He looked around and raised his voice.
"It is announced that the first place winner of this competition is still the defending champion, Your Excellency Chen Lin!"
After hearing this result, Chen Lin finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
The first place this time is different from the previous ones. The reward is several times richer. If you win this time, you don’t have to participate in the future.
This time, the rankings were announced directly without inviting the fairy tale elves first, which surprised Chen Lin.
I don’t know if something unexpected happened, or if there were too many contestants, the fairy tale elf didn’t want to show his face.
However, the lack of the gorgeous ranking method of the fairy tale elves will make the style of this competition drop several notches. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
