Chapter 118 Maybe
"Why is there a chicken here?" asked the god of death as dark as the night.
Liu Bei ignored his question and said, "It seems that you are not a guest of Fendel either."
Shark Tooth, the famous wanted criminal of the Galactic Civilization Federation, smiled and said, "Same here, you guys are not either."
"I guess our purpose is the same. To retrieve something that doesn't belong to Fendal."
"Yes."
Liu Bei continued, "We just saw Fendal outside, uh, if that can still be called his corpse."
"Oh." Shark Fang nodded and replied calmly, "I once asked him about the target item, but he rudely refused. Now it seems that his little pet has finally taught him what politeness is."
Liu Bei glanced around the messy room and asked, "So, have you got that thing now?"
Shark Tooth picked up a black box and said, "Here." There were faint patterns on the black box. The appearance of the box completely met the requirements of the task assigned to them by Boss Han.
"Unfortunately, our bounty contract is also related to this box."
"I know the Bounty Guild will send someone. More than one person has set their sights on the Black Box Guild's stuff." Shark Fang grinned, revealing his fine, sharp teeth, "So I'll wait here after I get it. Are you guys going to come and rob it?" He smiled dangerously, licking his fangs with his bright red tongue. Captain Madara smelled the bloody murderous intent.
"Of course not!" Liu Bei said flatly, "We will pretend that we saw nothing."
Shark Fang stared at him in surprise.
"The guild has given a price for this mission. From the beginning, I realized that the difficulty of this trip has far exceeded the contract amount. My brother and I are principled people. We will never do anything that exceeds our salary, and we can't even think about working overtime. So, please take your things and leave."
Liu Bei's words were justified and neither humble nor arrogant. If you didn't listen to the content of his words, you would think he was making an impassioned speech. But in short, his content was: Please spare our lives.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei silently, and then put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression together.
The way you three brothers begged for mercy was so coordinated.
But to be honest, let alone the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, Captain Ban was definitely not an opponent that Captain Ban could handle. As long as it didn't speak, Shark Tooth would probably still think it was a chicken that accidentally strayed in. So Captain Ban calmly decided to continue to be as quiet as a chicken.
"You're going to do nothing?"
"Yes!"
"Don't you want your quest items?"
"No! First come, first served, this is yours! You're welcome!"
"..." Shark Tooth fell silent. Apparently, in his bloody criminal life, he rarely encountered such a cooperative and shameless person begging for mercy. So he was a little confused as he was waiting for a fight to relieve his boredom.
"You guys don't have the professionalism of a bounty guild hunter!!"
"A worker's soul is a worker who will never do anything extra!"
The villain, who was feared by half of the Galactic Federation, stared at them (the chicken was obviously ignored) and almost shouted "How could you do this!"
Liu Bei said calmly: "Then we will not disturb you, the ultimate winner. We will leave first. No more disturbing, no more disturbing."
The three people and the chicken moved quickly towards the door.
“Wait!!”
The three of them turned their heads.
Shark Tooth jumped off the boss's desk. Although the office was illuminated by bright sunshine, the place where Shark Tooth was still like a dark night. He said gloomily: "Since you are here, I will give you a small gift."
He threw down a ball, which rolled on the ground and came in front of Liu, Guan and Zhang.
"Goodbye, three workers!" In a blink of an eye, Shark Tooth stood on the windowsill of the office and gave them a venomous smile. Then he jumped out.
The ball on the floor kept spinning, and then grew spider-like limbs.
"This is the military automatic weapon HJ458, be careful, brother!" As soon as Guan Yu finished speaking, eight limbs supported a round ball, which rotated and fired in all directions.
"Get out of the way!" Voices and sharp gunshots rang out at the same time. The three Gnus men dodged and ran around the room at a rapid speed. The sphere split open, revealing a concave ring with dozens of black holes. As the sphere rotated, bullets kept firing.
Furnishings in the office were shattered, bullets whizzed by. Guan Yu kicked over the desk and pulled Liu Bei behind it. Zhang Fei ran up and down the walls at an incredible speed, bullets bang bang bang chasing his feet through the wall.
This kind of ridiculous dodge actually worked, which can only be said that the motor nerves of the Gnus people are really ridiculous. Zhang Fei flipped over and jumped off the wall, and the bullet flew past his face.
There were blood on Zhang Fei's face. He cried out in pain and quickly hid behind an overturned cabinet.
The disc rotated, and the bullets switched to more powerful explosive shells.
Sparks flew in the office. Under this high-frequency fire attack, it was impossible to hide behind cover for long. Guan Yu and Liu Bei drew their weapons and fired several shots at the ball. But the ball was spinning at high speed, and the bullets were bounced away as soon as they touched the ball.
Zhang Fei, who was hiding behind a cabinet, shouted, "Big Brother, Second Brother, I'll attract its attention! You guys run!"
"What nonsense!" Liu Bei said, "This automatic weapon has set us as its target, and it will not stop until it destroys the target."
Crack, crack, crack. Under the automatic weapons' sweep, the items in the office were basically shattered. The shelter where Liu Bei and his men were hiding was about to collapse, and it was only a matter of seconds before it broke apart.
"Where is the chicken?" Zhang Fei shouted.
"Why do you care about the chicken at this time?"
"This chicken really took the opportunity to run away!!!"
"Who's running away?" Captain Spotted said. It flapped its wings and jumped out.
"Hey little chicken, I just told you not to die!!"
"You are the one who wants to die!" said Captain Ban, and he rushed towards the automatic weapon HJ458.
Its wings fluttered up and down, and the feathers on its wings flew towards the spherical killer in an instant. The feathers turned into sharp weapons and plunged into the spherical killer like a well-organized swarm of insects. Captain Madara did not have the superb mental skills of Xiaozhen and Mr. Cat, but he had the skillful ability to strengthen his body. He could instantly strengthen the feathers on his body into a weapon that could cut metal and instantly inflict a fatal blow to the enemy.
Click. Click. Click.
Scattered feathers cut the ball.
The automatic weapon let out a miserable wail, accompanied by the sound of broken electricity and the hissing sound of metal being cut. The ball lost its ability to move within a minute. Snap. Snap. Snap. Limbs broke and data became chaotic.
[Start self-destruct mode, start countdown...]
Zhang Fei yelled: "Fuck! I knew it! Go!!!"
The three people and the chicken jumped out of the window quickly.
boom!!!!
Thick smoke billowed and flames leaped.
A wave of heat spread in the air. Liu, Guan, and Zhang fell to the ground. The factory building behind them was collapsing, black smoke rose into the sky, and the red flames were crackling.
Captain Madara flapped his wings and landed on the ground.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the collapsed factory building behind him. "Brother Ji, this time it's really thanks to you."
"That's right, brother Ji, we will be brothers from now on!!" Zhang Fei said sincerely.
Who are your brothers?
Captain Madara couldn't help feeling sad as he looked at the burning factory.
Today, it seems like all my work has been in vain.
Captain Ban, who failed in his job, returned home dejected.
Seeing that it looked depressed, Xiao Zhen asked it curiously what was wrong.
Captain Madara didn't want to hide anything, so he simply told Xiaozhen what happened today.
When Mr. Cat heard Sharktooth's appearance, he jumped over, but he still looked calm.
"You actually let that Shark Tooth go and grab this thing. Do you know what you are going to take this time?"
Captain Madara shook his head, "I only know it's something from the Black Box Society."
The Black Box Society is a mysterious organization shrouded in fog in the galactic civilization area. They are composed of the craziest and most terrifying scientific lunatics. Under the banner of seeking the truth, they conduct all kinds of horrible experiments that cannot be described in words, or create some terrible experimental products. Even the Grand Master of the Galactic Federation and the Lord of the Council will feel their scalps tingling when they mention them. The replica box that Xiaozhen picked up earlier is one of the discarded products of the Black Box Society.
"Is it really something from the Black Box?" Xiao Zhen asked, "Did you see it?"
"The box that Sharkfang took had the badge of the Black Box Society." Captain Ban pecked his wing, "In the end, I got nothing."
"Not bad, you're lucky to have escaped from that Shark Tooth unscathed, Brother Chicken." Xiao Zhen said with a smile.
"Try saying the word chicken brother to me again!!!"
"Not necessarily." Mr. Cat said, "For an old smuggler like Fendal, it's not his style to blatantly put the target item in a box with the Black Box Society emblem."
"When we entered the office, Shark Tooth had already searched the office. The thing should be the one in his hand."
"Generally speaking, when a smuggler like Fendal gets into trouble, where do you think he would hide his stuff?"
Xiao Zhen looked at Mr. Cat: "You mean, he will run away with the things?"
Mr. Cat said to Captain Ban: "Do you still have the residue you picked up from the Baloo slime monster's vomit?"
"Now that you mention it... wait!" Captain Ban quickly took out the small wooden sculpture from his backpack and handed it to Mr. Cat.
"Hmm..." Mr. Cat squinted his eyes and observed for a while, "It really is."
Chicken suddenly became excited, "You mean to say that I picked up the quest item!!!"
"Indeed, but only part of it," said Mr. Cat. "It seems that the remaining residue was left by you in the factory."
“That factory has been burned down!!”
"That's nothing we can do. And you can't take this wood carving to Boss Han to claim the reward."
"Why? Even though it's only a part of it, it's also the target item of the mission!"
Mr. Cat licked his paw: "Do you know what this is?"
Xiao Zhen said, "This is a wood carving."
"Even a blind person would know that this is a wooden sculpture," Mr. Cat said. "I mean, the black box gives it a function."
Xiao Zhen and Captain Madara asked, "What function?"
"This is a probability amplifier."
"What?"
"Do you know about the lost civilization of Esati?"
Captain Madara said, "I know about that lost race whose technology is said to have reached the realm of God."
"Yes. Legend has it that the Esati can turn nothing into something, turn no into yes, and make the impossible possible."
“…”
“To turn non-existence into existence, to turn zero into one, this is not a miracle in itself, but a miracle that transcends all laws.”
"That's simply impossible."
"Breaking the impossible, and transcending the mortal realm is called the realm of God. Those crazy people in the Black Box Society are following the footsteps of the Esati people. They are eager to touch the power of the master who can change the laws of things and have the power of God's decision."
"During tens of millions of years of exploration, they have created many products. This probability amplifier is one of them." Mr. Cat said, "It is impossible to change from zero to one. But it is possible and feasible to change from 0.2 to 0.25. Although it cannot reach the realm of God, it can add some variables to the grand plan. This is the probability amplifier."
"You mean, this can be used to increase the probability?"
"Yes." Mr. Cat picked up the teacup beside him and poured a drop of water on the corner of the table. The water drop began to slide down the corner of the table. "Assuming that the probability of it sliding to the ground is 50%, I used the probability amplifier to increase the probability of it sliding to the ground to 55%. Although it still cannot guarantee that it will slide to the ground, the possibility has increased."
"Is there a difference between a 50% and 55% chance of sliding to the ground?"
"There is a difference. Perhaps this 5% increase in probability is the key to achieving a miracle." Mr. Cat said, "So, this probability amplifier is, in a sense, the miracle itself."
Xiao Zhen whispered: "The miracle itself..."
"Yes, miracles themselves are in the superposition of uncertainty. It is not nothing, it is not zero, it is the accumulation and stacking of countless possibilities. Don't underestimate this small possibility."
"I have a question."
"Please go ahead."
Captain Madara said: "Since you have confirmed that this is a miracle probability amplifier. Then why can't I take it to Boss Han to get my reward?"
“Because it’s already been used.”
"What? Used?"
"This is a disposable probability amplifier," said Mr. Cat. "Although it is corroded, I can tell it has not been used for long."
"How do I use it?"
"It responds to the deepest desires of whoever holds it."
Xiao Zhen said: "So it was the hapless smuggler's desire to survive when he was stuck by the Balrog ? The probability increase from 2% to 2.5%?"
"Very likely."
"Then he became a physical scum."
"This thing is really a miracle!!" Captain Madara shouted.
Mr. Cat asked, "I say, after you picked up this wood carving, did you feel any strong fluctuations in your heart? It is possible that it also responded to you."
"Me?" said Captain Madara. "I can't think of anything else except my cat-headed caterpillar."
Xiao Zhen stroked his chin and said, "That is to say, it is also possible that it can increase the success rate of the cat-headed caterpillar's evolution from 2% to 2.5%."
“…”
“It sounds totally useless!!!”
