The Die of Probability was indeed trembling.
If it could speak, the cabin would probably be filled with the screams of the Die of Probability at this very moment.
Unfortunately, although it possessed activity and could even communicate with people to a certain extent, the Die of Probability was not like the fully personified Hidden Sage, which had become indistinguishable from an intelligent being in some ways, nor was it like 0-08, which could directly express its thoughts in text. At this moment, no matter how "excited" it was, it could only express its emotions through trembling.
Compared to the "excitement" of the Die of Probability, Lin Ruo was quite calm. Although he was a little surprised to see Apothecary Darkwill and the Die of Probability beside Klein, he understood after thinking about the original plot.
So Lin Ruo just smiled, looking at the violently shaking Die of Probability in his hand, which was almost breaking free. After watching for a while, he suddenly noticed that the die stopped trembling.
Not only did it stop trembling, but Lin Ruo also saw a feeling of "wanting to tremble" from the die. It seemed to have finally realized that its state was not right, and it instantly transformed from a pitiful little thing into a Devil King seeking revenge, eager to break free and give Lin Ruo a "1 point."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, neither surprised nor afraid, but just said in a very gentle tone, "You can try to give me a 1 point."
Without any threatening words, Lin Ruo's words seemed to be just a normal suggestion.
The Die of Probability suddenly froze. As a unique item with activity, the Die of Probability, in some sense, possessed a considerable degree of intelligence. However, this uniqueness was not truly personified, so its so-called intelligence was mostly instinctive, like some spiritual small animals.
Small animals would be arrogant when the large animals that taken advantage of them were weak, but they would not forget the fear the large animals brought them.
Seeing this, Lin Ruo suddenly let go. With a "thud," the Die of Probability fell onto the table, and then, under everyone's gaze, the Die of Probability rolled a few times, looking like it was about to settle on 1 point, but in the end, it unwillingly flipped over, showing the 6-point side.
"So obedient!"
Lin Ruo praised it without hesitation, then looked at the others in the cabin. He smiled and said, "Why are you all looking at me?"
Klein: ...
Darkwill: ...
Don't you know why we're looking at you?
"You... you... who are you?" Apothecary Darkwill finally managed to ask after holding it in for a long time.
If anyone present was the most nervous, it was definitely him. After all, Apothecary Darkwill didn't know Lin Ruo, and at this moment, he looked at Lin Ruo playing with the Die of Probability, as bewildered as a headless fly.
"I am Gehrman's teacher. You can call me Arthur." Lin Ruo didn't keep them in suspense. As he spoke, he poked the Die of Probability on the table with his finger, off and on.
It was clear that the latter must have been annoyed, but there was also a sense of resignation. No matter what point Lin Ruo moved it to, it would eventually turn itself back to six points.
Apothecary Darkwill's gaze was involuntarily drawn to this scene. He subconsciously swallowed, and said with some fear, "You're not here to hunt me down, are you?"
"If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead now." Lin Ruo said with a smile, continuing to fiddle with the die, "Don't worry, I have a pretty good relationship with your Life School of Thought's boss. You can consider me an ally."
Although he had already guessed it, Apothecary Darkwill couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of relief the moment he received the affirmative answer. His body and mind relaxed. Looking at Lin Ruo, who was playing with the die, he couldn't help but say, "This die seems to be very afraid of you..."
"Hmm, it's probably because I once used it as a die to play games with others." Lin Ruo replied with a smile. He had very few memories of that part, vaguely recalling only a few scenes, but he had a good idea of what he had done.
"Ah?" Apothecary Darkwill felt like he couldn't understand the Karma involved.
Lin Ruo didn't explain.
He hadn't actually done anything insane to the Die of Probability. It was just that when he was bored, he had organized a few tabletop RPG sessions and played some unique tabletop RPG games with certain True Gods, certain Kings of Angels, and certain ordinary angels, using the Die of Probability as a judgment die, that was all.
What? The Die of Probability was threatened by several True Gods and Kings of Angels because of this and was almost dismantled?
What did that have to do with Lin Ruo? He hadn't even gotten angry for rolling a one. It was just that later, he gathered with Steam and discussed in front of the Die of Probability how to erase its activity and completely turn it into a useful tool, and they almost actually did it.
"So what exactly happened?" Klein asked. He could tell that everyone in the room, except for him and Danitz, knew nothing, while both Apothecary Darkwill, the person involved, and his dear teacher, were clearly aware of something.
And this matter seemed to be related to Will.
"Actually, this matter is simple to explain. In short, a traitor appeared in the Life School of Thought, leading to the capture of Roy King, who is Darkwill's teacher. After Darkwill learned of this, he took the items his teacher left behind according to the information his teacher provided, and fled overnight, preparing to seek help from the higher-ups of the Life School of Thought..."
Lin Ruo explained casually, describing the information he had confirmed, then pointed to the Die of Probability and said, "As for this thing, its name is the Die of Probability. You can understand it as the uniqueness of the Wheel of Fortune. Don't look at how obedient it is now; it's actually a very nasty guy..."
Then Lin Ruo specifically introduced the situation of the Die of Probability to Klein: "It will make the holder jump back and forth between bad luck and good luck. One moment it might let you experience extraordinary luck, and the next moment it might cause you to die due to an accident. And when its awakening level becomes high enough, it will gradually bring the people and objects around the holder under its control, manipulating the probability of their actions."
"Theoretically speaking, as long as the Die of Probability is awake long enough, it can bring the entire world into its sphere of influence and digitize the entire world, though it's ineffective against True Gods."
How terrifying, as expected of a uniqueness... Klein's gaze immediately fell on the Die of Probability, which looked "lifeless" under Lin Ruo's palm, and the emotion that had just risen in his heart suddenly got stuck.
Uh, so what exactly did Lin Ruo do to it?
At this moment, this was not Klein's question alone, but also Danitz's and Apothecary Darkwill's question.
"I've already said it, I just played a few games with it." Lin Ruo could see what they were thinking and said with a smile, then looked at Apothecary Darkwill and said, "Now, let's talk about your matter, Darkwill."
