Chapter 1050  Are you useless?

Three more hours pa.s.sed by just like that as the group of four and the fox continued to roam all over China and the rest of the territory.

And in these three hours, two more lucky coins surfaced!

Liam looked at the five coins that were in his possession now with a discernible smile on his face. He really couldn"t believe it. They had spent only half a day, and yet he had five lucky coins!

However, not everyone was happy with this development. Each time the d.a.m.n monk got his prediction right, Alex only felt more and more angry and agitated with the guy.

If he could predict this well, then why the h.e.l.l was he telling the exact opposite?

"That"s because I only speak the truth, ma"am." The monk explained.

But how the h.e.l.l did this explanation make sense? Alex wanted to bang her head somewhere. She had had enough of these specialty cla.s.ses.

Here she was working day and night to improve herself, but these specialty cla.s.ses were taking the easier route. In just a day, if this guy could predict so much, then how strong was he really?

It has now been a couple of months since the apocalypse began. Shouldn"t he have collected a lot of treasures all these days?

Alex"s hands were itching to take the guy somewhere private and interrogate him in the right way to get the answer out of him.

If only Liam did not hold the coins so important…

"Are these coins really that important?" Alex gritted her teeth and asked, somehow squeezing out a smile.

"Yes. They increase a person"s luck." Liam answered curtly.

What was luck?

Luck was the ability to survive when the heavens themselves want someone dead. How could Liam not know the power of luck? Wasn"t his second chance and his return back to the beginning some sort of luck too?

And these lucky coins were exactly that.

When someone was in possession of these coins, a new attribute, the luck attribute, popped up for them.

Liam had no idea who created these coin artifacts and why they had this effect, but this was the result. Moreover, the lucky coins had a strange effect.

Any other artifact would probably increase the luck attribute by only a fixed amount, but the lucky coins were different. The more coins one possessed, the more boost they received.

For instance, with only one coin, the luck attribute increased by one but with two coins, this value became four times. If someone had three coins, the value would become nine times, and so on.

And Liam right now had five coins in his possession. This meant that his luck attribute now had 25 points!

Liam couldn"t help but wonder just how much effect a point in the luck attribute had? It was obviously not a normal attribute like strength or agility.

So how many points did he need to observe a significant change? And just how big was this change going to be?

Right now, everything was stacked against him, so he could definitely use a dollop of luck to smoothen the road ahead.

Liam did not want to believe in luck or count on it for victory. He could fall a.s.s-backward into victory nine times out of ten, but the tenth time he would be left stranded with nothing to stand on.

However, that was different from using the five amazing coins that were now currently in his hand. While relying on only one"s luck was stupidity, it did not hurt to have a little luck on their side.

"Are we really going to do this all day?" Alex sighed. She even looked genuinely half-displeased.

Liam nodded with a smile. Whether it would be worth their effort or not, only time would tell. With that, the group once again resumed their journey and started combing through the whole territory.

Now that the monk had received Liam"s pat on the back, he had a lot more att.i.tude and smugness on his face whilst he closed his eyes and did whatever he was doing.

To Alex"s dismay, this seemed to be not ending any time soon as the monk ended up finding one other coin in the next couple of hours.

However, after that, the poor chap was heaving with his breath extremely ragged, as if all of his energy had been sucked out of him. "Good Sir, I can only continue tomorrow. I need some rest."

"Hmmm?" Liam gazed at the man coldly.

"I mean, the skill needs downtime. My fortune is depleted. I cannot lie, sir. I am really telling the truth." The monk quickly explained.

Liam continued to stare down at the man for a few more seconds before finally nodding. "Alright. We will continue this tomorrow. You can rest."

The monk sighed in relief and stepped back, only to be rudely accosted by Alex again. "So you can"t lie, and your fortune runs out, huh?" She sneered. "Soon, I will figure out everything about you."

The monk gulped silently.

Luckily for him, Liam"s next words turned everyone"s attention to the last person in the group, who had now been quiet for a long time.

"I think it"s your turn."

Caden nodded. He adjusted his clothes and his hair and spoke after clearing his throat with the air of a scholar. "I do not have any parlor tricks like others. My skills take time."

His glance furtively landed on the monk before he looked at Liam. "I need more time."

However, unfortunately for Caden, the performer in front of him had raised the bar a little too high. So when he asked for more time, Liam was not inclined to give it to him.

"For someone who plotted to destroy me and take over the whole world, you suddenly seem so useless." Liam bluntly answered.

Caden"s expression instantly changed, his face contorting into a shade of shame and anger combined together.

"Fine. I will give you my reading as well. But don"t blame me if it is not as specific as you would like."

"Mmmm. I will be the judge of that."

Caden frowned but nevertheless closed his eyes again, once more exuding a scholarly aura. "Whispers of the shadows guide those who dare to offer a helping hand, unveiling mysteries beyond the veils of darkness."
