A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 653 - Chapter 653 Chapter 484 Fate is a Dice_1

Chapter 653: Chapter 484: Fate is a Dice_1 Chapter 653: Chapter 484: Fate is a Dice_1 A dazzling white light appeared before Duanmu Huai, and the next moment, he was in a pure white space. It looked completely white and devoid of anything, except for a table in front of him.

Duanmu Huai walked up to the table, and a blank card appeared next to his hand.

Then, in front of Duanmu Huai, three six-sided dice quietly appeared. A sentence also emerged, floating before his eyes.

[Please choose your destiny]

Phew, it has finally come.

Looking at the dice in front of him, Duanmu Huai took a deep breath. The importance of these dice in this mission was undisputed. Especially in the beginning, the dice would determine the player’s identity, status, reputation, wealth, etc. in the new world. Don’t underestimate this information. If you roll too low, the player will start out as a beggar. You might have to worry about how to survive before you find the actual mission.

On the other hand, if you roll high, the player will not only be rich and powerful, but will also have a very good social status and reputation. This will make it easier to investigate mysterious events and solve them.

After all, money isn’t everything, but you can’t do anything without money.

Of course, Duanmu Huai would not roll the dice himself because… he had a better option!

“Tutu, roll one!”

Yes, why bother testing his own luck when he has his lucky rabbit’s foot, right?

“Sure thing! Leave it to me, master!”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s command, Tutu bounced out from behind him. She excitedly picked up the dice, shouted “hey ya,” and threw them onto the table. The three six-sided dice spun rapidly and then came to a stop, revealing three numbers.

5, 5, 6!

“Good!”

Seeing the numbers, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist and let out a low shout. Indeed, she was his lucky rabbit. This roll would make ninety percent of players green with envy!

Although it wasn’t a perfect roll of 99 as a starting hand, a fate number of 80 was definitely a good start!

As the dice came to a halt, the blank card in Duanmu Huai’s hand began to emit a dazzling light, transforming into a small notebook resembling a diary. Duanmu Huai opened the book, and his information instantly appeared on the pages.

[But for you, an ordinary and mundane life can no longer satisfy your adventurous heart. And when you were killing time, you didn’t notice that an unexpected invitation would open the door to a new world for you…]

As the last page turned, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, shining on Duanmu Huai. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the bedroom of a luxurious mansion. It was a very luxurious and comfortable room, with the soft bed and exquisite decorations complementing each other beautifully. Duanmu Huai got up and walked to the French window beside him. He could see a medium-sized garden and a fountain in the center of the garden….

Hmm, it was indeed a very good home.

“Meow!”

At this moment, suddenly, a meow resonated. Duanmu Huai turned around and saw a black kitten and a white rabbit poking out from the bed, curious and watching him closely.

“Uh… how did you guys become this way?”

Without a doubt, Duanmu Huai could guess that these were Ling’Nu and Tutu. What surprised him, though, was… after entering this world, they had actually become real animals.

“Meow!!”

The black kitten meowed once, then directly climbed onto Duanmu Huai’s shoulder, while the white rabbit on the other side also jumped into Duanmu Huai’s hands.

At the same time, a line of system prompts appeared in front of Duanmu Huai’s eyes.

“[These are your favorite pets, they’ve accompanied you during your toughest times and saved you from danger many times. For you, they are not just pets, but family.]”

“…Um, okay, it is what it is.”

Upon hearing the narration, Duanmu Huai was left speechless. Regardless, petting a cat and a rabbit is quite comforting. Since the two of them have no objections, he naturally has no complaints either.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

Just then, a knock on the door sounded. Duanmu Huai looked towards the entrance.

“Come in.”

“Sorry to interrupt… Ah, as expected, Sir Knight…”

Along with the words came a young girl. Seeing Duanmu Huai, she relaxed and smiled, and Duanmu Huai received new information before him.

“[The one standing before you is Lorena, a devout priestess. She lost her family due to an accident and you took her in.]”

So that’s Lorena’s setup.

Upon hearing, Duanmu Huai gave a nod, turning his gaze to Lorena.

“How are you? Any problems?”

“I am fine, but Miss Ling’Nu is nowhere to be found…”

“She’s here.”

While talking, Duanmu Huai pointed to the black cat perched on his shoulder. Seeing this, Lorena looked taken aback.

“Huh? Miss Ling’Nu turned into a cat?”

“Who knows how this world determines things… Forget it, as long as she doesn’t object, there’s no problem.”

This mission world allows up to five participants. Duanmu Huai brought Tutu for good luck, Ling’Nu handled exploration and search, Lorena provided support and attacked, and the last person was the maid — a fellow Familiar — who didn’t need to do anything else but help manage the house and deal with minor issues.

Duanmu Huai had considered bringing Zhen Jiling, whose Superior Charm was incredibly impressive, however, after considering, he decided against it. After all, this charm not only attracts people but also the Evil God.

If he faced those great entities and then Zhen Jiling managed to charm them… wouldn’t that simply be asking for trouble?!

Most people can’t avoid the attention of these great beings, let alone go seeking it out!

So, Zhen Jiling should stay at home and gain experience for his “God of Joy”. Although the gain was small, at least it was a guaranteed win…

So, up next… his first event is coming up.

After confirming his status, Duanmu Huai walked to the desk, picked up an invitation. So, this is the benefit of having wealth. Those who could barely afford anything were probably out there begging or performing for food, unlike him who could smoothly embark on a task, let’s see what this is about …um…

Duanmu Huai opened the envelope, reading it briefly. Plainly speaking, it was an invitation to a dinner hosted by a distant relative in this world, a renowned artist. He was holding this dinner to showcase his newly acquired art collection. Duanmu Huai had received an invitation to attend this banquet.

Artist…

Seeing the letter, Duanmu Huai’s eye twitched.

Artists, musicians, writers, detectives, professors… In this world, these people are all troublemakers.

But the problem is… How am I going to there?

The maid answered this question.

“Your car is in the garage, sir. I have been instilled with knowledge about driving when we arrived in this world. I can drive you there.”

“My car? What kind of car can fit me?”

Needless to say, hearing the maid’s reply, Duanmu Huai was extremely curious. He knew well his status, which certainly includes a car, a house, and women, but the question was… A car that can fit him? What kind of car would that be?

With this thought, Duanmu Huai excitedly followed the maid to the garage on the first floor, and then…

“Oh, the truck’s hood sure is huge!”

As the lights came on and illuminated the massive hood of the vehicle under the glow, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but comment. However, he was quickly drawn to the back of the vehicle.

Hmm? Why is such a large shipping container attached to the back of this vehicle?

Hmm? Why does this vehicle have one, two, three, four pairs of wheels?

This is…

Duanmu Huai circled the vehicle in front of him and became silent.

This isn’t a heavy truck?!

Alright then, are they going to put me in the shipping container?

“What is your impression, Master?”

“………………”

Faced with the maid’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai was left speechless.

What else could he say? He had to go along with it, it seemed.
