Chapter 108: Occasion Time (10) – Technique Assembly (2), What’s Luck?

Occasion Time, Day 3, Night

– Han Kain

“Tales concerning the second ground are fascinating, however let’s focus extra on the Gate Room. Keep in mind Ahri’s clarification? Now let’s strategize.”

At Eunsol-noona’s phrases, everybody snapped again to actuality.

The second ground was a narrative for later.

For now, we wanted to give attention to the Gate Room.

I took notes on the traits of the Gate Room.

Firstly, the Gate Room consists of a sequence of Cursed Rooms with temporary relaxation in between.

Secondly, those that have been eradicated halfway might solely be revived if no less than one individual handed via all the Gate Room.

Thirdly, there appear to be no Convicts, and the reward wasn’t an Inheritance.

“It’s tough to plot a method with simply this. We don’t know the contents of every room, so it’s exhausting to foretell. Have you learnt some other traits? Like what number of rooms there are?”

Ahri gave the impression to be pondering as nicely however gave a lackluster response.

“Whereas I’ve skilled the second ground firsthand, I’ve solely heard concerning the Gate Room. Furthermore, as you all know, the primary celebration wasn’t too eager on kindly sharing info.”

Though I resolved to not depend on Recommendation, we actually wanted a bit of recommendation proper now.

Give me recommendation on getting ready for the Gate Room.

Sage’s Recommendation: 3 → 2

Making ready for exams begins with analyzing mock exams.

“…”

I used to be momentarily speechless.

Given our restricted info, I had anticipated a cryptic response, however wasn’t this a bit a lot?

I shared the query and reply with my teammates.

Upon listening to it, Jinchul-hyung sighed.

“Is that owl some like of Sphinx or one thing? All the time making us resolve riddles.”

“It’s not all the time like this, however whenever you ask questions with inadequate info, this occurs.”

“However on this Lodge, info is all the time inadequate!”

“That’s the issue.”

I assumed it via step-by-step.

Exams clearly referred to the Gate Room, proper?

Then mock exams should consult with the Cursed Rooms.

Interpreted this manner, the recommendation might imply:

Recall the teachings realized from the Cursed Rooms you’ve handed via.

“It appears that evidently exams consult with the Gate Room, and mock exams consult with the Cursed Rooms. Possibly it means to overview the Cursed Rooms we’ve already handed via.”

Eunsol Noona responded.

“I assumed equally…”

“From what I’ve felt via Recommendation, there aren’t any meaningless phrases or metaphors. Each phrase, each metaphor has a that means. There should be a cause for particularly utilizing the metaphor of ‘exams and mock exams’.”

“So, what does our prime examination professional, Kain, suppose is the explanation?”

“Normally, the issues that appeared within the mock exams usually reappear in an analogous type within the precise exams. I believe it signifies that the Cursed Rooms we’ve already handed will reappear equally, although barely altered, within the Gate Room.”

“Then let’s overview the Cursed Rooms one after the other and determine key factors to be careful for. How about Room 101?”

“Unusual Household and Frequent Sense Renovating Media. A number of key phrases come to thoughts. Crucial was fast pondering. As quickly because it began, we have been bombarded with psychological assaults, so instant motion was obligatory. Subsequent is deduction. You’ll want to discover the correct place.”

“I can discuss Room 102. ‘Complacency’. The Mansion of Worry didn’t have a quick tempo like Room 101. In the course of the first try, nothing occurred on the primary evening, and even after the state of affairs modified, a day or two would go with out incident. Then, whenever you let your guard down, you’d fall into an irreversible lure.”

Subsequent was Songee.

“For Room 103, the key phrase appears to be ‘Doubt’. Doubting all the actuality earlier than your eyes. Conserving in thoughts that the stage given could possibly be false or an phantasm. It’s like having a paranoid mindset, nevertheless it appears obligatory within the Lodge.”

What about Room 104?

“What about Room 104? It’s the one room we didn’t resolve and determined to skip, so I’ve no clue.”

Ahri answered.

“Open pondering? The Heavenly Daughter is arguably the strongest Enemy throughout all rooms, however even with such energy, she acted most discreetly. It required the component of ‘taking note of exterior components’.”

“Look outdoors the stage?”

“It’s simply my guess. Since I’ve by no means truly progressed via Room 104. Once we truly proceed, the important thing level may be totally completely different.”

“Let’s summarize this a lot. Contemplating our lack of detailed data, excited about a couple of key factors might be one of the best we are able to do.”

“We want fast pondering to answer instant assaults, deductive reasoning to research twisted eventualities, the mindset to doubt every thing we see, and suppose creatively amidst all that.”

Jinchul-hyung spoke in disbelief.

“Is that even humanly attainable?”

“Let’s do our greatest. Even when it doesn’t work out, the worst that may occur is loss of life, proper?”

I mentioned it with a smile, however nobody laughed.

Thus, all of the conferences for at present ended.

The following day, on the fourth day of the Occasion Time, everybody saved their promise and spent the day both resting or coaching individually.

Earlier, this child appeared like a traditional baby regardless of being a god.

His phrases have been everywhere, making it exhausting to grasp.

“Consider! Reside with religion. I’m the God of Luck, and I selected you. You’re the luckiest of people, so why don’t you belief your personal luck?”

“As a result of usually the % isn’t excessive sufficient to activate luck—”

“Luck is with you always. That ability is only for moments that want ‘overwhelming luck’ to overturn actuality.”

“However… I’ve by no means felt fortunate in on a regular basis life?”

“That’s the issue. Now reply me! Received it?”

“Y-yes!”

“Religion, hope, love, the best of those is?”

“Huh? Uh… Love?”

“Luck.”

“What?”

“World peace, wealth, honor, or essentially the most stunning woman on this planet, Ahri-noona. The best of those is?”

“Cease teasing me!”

“When you’re fortunate, you may have all of it. It’s luck.”

“Why are you selecting solutions that aren’t even within the choices—”

“That’s it! Received it?”

What the heck do you imply, you loopy man!?

“Did you simply suppose, ‘What the heck do you imply, you loopy man?’”

“…”

“Don’t suppose. Act on feeling. Glide!”

“Huh? What did you say?”

Cube grabbed my arm and moved me in direction of the top of the yacht.

That is so complicated!

“What do you suppose will occur when you soar into the ocean right here?”

“I can’t swim nicely, so I’ll drown.”

“Can’t a sea turtle all of a sudden prevent and take you to an island?”

“That’s ridiculous—”

“Why is it ridiculous? It could actually occur. Why do you retain pondering? Actually, you’re not that good, proper? Cease attempting to make use of your mind that doesn’t work and simply consider! There’s a sea turtle under that may prevent.”

With that, Cube grabbed my arm and threw me into the ocean!

“YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH.”

“Yeah!”

“I’M GONNA DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!”

“Look intently on the sea. Possibly there’s a mermaid there?”

“…”

– Jolt!

With a dizzy feeling, I woke as much as discover myself again within the mattress in Room 105.

I regarded down at my physique. It was thinner and weaker than earlier than.

My head was pounding.

Oh, this can be a mess. My sponsor is really a madman.

However there was a turtle within the sea.

Simply leaping into the ocean, a turtle appeared by likelihood and saved me by likelihood?

How?

Does that even make sense?

What are the probabilities?

It doesn’t matter.

If there’s a turtle, there’s a turtle.

Doubt, mistrust, and ideas.

These are the enemies of luck.

I opened my hand.

There was a die.

I evenly tossed it onto the desk and went out to see the hyungs and noonas outdoors Room 105.

I didn’t trouble to test the die.

If it was me who threw it, it’d clearly land on 6.
