Chapter 20: Chapter 15: Mr. Gemini

The red badge given by Old Luo was naturally kept close, though he spoke casually, it must be something good.

Li Xin could feel that the Archbishop’s item was of high grade. You have to know, in the Celestial City’s Moon God’s Court, the highest rank is the Chief Bishop, and the Archbishop is a level above the Chief Bishop.

The card given by Kathy… Li Xin bit his lip, damn it, it’s not pure gold, he was a bit disappointed, it had the logo of the “Treasure Workshop” on it. Li Xin knew this place, it’s the most prosperous street in the Celestial City, every shop there is quite upscale. In the past, Li Xin always felt embarrassed to even pass by that area.

Could it be a kind of VIP certification?

Does he lack a card right now?

Back home, a delicious meal was already prepared, Aunt Fei and Xueyin, who finished her homework, were waiting for him. The feeling of being awaited by someone is really good.

Li Xin told Aunt Fei about acknowledging Old Luo, this wasn’t something you talk about casually, especially since Old Luo also gave him that badge.

Lin Fei picked up the badge and examined it carefully, surprise flashing in her eyes: “This is the Full Moon’s Gift. It’s said that there are only 12 of them, and only those who have done great deeds in the Church and the Night Patrol are awarded this. It has the Moon God’s blessing and can provide strong protection.”

“Oh, that’s perfect, let Xueyin wear it.” Li Xin said with a mouthful, Aunt Fei’s beef brisket stew was becoming more delicious.

“This thing is useless to us ordinary people, we don’t have much to deal with. You must wear it for your missions. Tonight, I’ll get you a chain to carry it close to you.” Lin Fei said without room for argument, “Find some time to invite Luo Jin for a meal at home, it’s the polite thing to do.”

Luo Jin’s willingness to do this isn’t as indifferent as it seems on the surface; he genuinely cares about Li Xin, and this person’s character is trustworthy.

“Oh, and this card, given by my well-off aunt, I don’t know what to use it for either.” He said while taking out the card from Treasure Workshop.

Lin Fei was a bit stunned, then looked at the patterns on it, “This is a gold card from the Treasure Workshop, and very few people can own one. It offers quite a lot of convenient privileges, like priority purchases and discounts, etc.”

Li Xin pursed his lips, feeling that Kathy’s thought process was quite problematic. Does he really care for those discounts?

“Oh, it also comes with a thousand Lira preloaded,” Lin Fei laughed, “able to be tipped to well-serving attendants.”

Gold card VIP privileges, even when the Lin Family was still around, such a card was unattainable.

A tip? Two months’ salary? Knowing Kathy as the Little Rich Lady she was, he didn’t expect her to be this rich, suddenly Li Xin didn’t feel as wronged. If Kathy needed him to, he could submit earlier.

“That’s just right, Aunt Fei, this thing can’t buy groceries anyway, just use it for household necessities; you and Xueyin might need it for attending neighborhood activities as well.”

Both Lin Fei and Xueyin were naturally beautiful, but even more so, at gatherings, it was like a battlefield, with the silent competition akin to a bladed contest.

Women’s fashion is a kind of trend, Aunt Fei’s set of clothes was beautiful before, but trends were not his thing, though it was from many years ago.

Seeing the smiling faces of Lin Fei and Xueyin, Li Xin’s mood improved greatly, this step was right. Money you cannot bring with you when born nor take when you die, spending it happily is the best destination.

After dinner, sleep early, tomorrow he will be on duty. As a newcomer, you don’t really need to wait for your own turn, being diligent never hurt anyone, plus there are no tasks currently, just drinking tea and reading newspapers—a channel for gathering information so accessible that you couldn’t even get it by spending money before.

Lying in bed, the red moon outside was especially bright, with a faint glow seeping through the curtains. Li Xin had a room on the second floor, inside it was very cozy.

In his sleep, the dice began acting strange again. Ever since it was used in the forest last time, it hadn’t been quite right. Normally it would spin, but recently it wasn’t spinning, it was trembling, or rather it felt as if it was being touched by an external force.

Could it be the Wild Wandering God corresponding to the dice summoning him?

This situation had occurred several years ago, but afterward, there was no movement.

True Gods and Evil Gods are relative, like the Nether God, which is taboo in some countries and the Main God in others, it depends heavily on belief, but a Wild Wandering God is really not the case.

Thinking about the situation of the Wild Wandering God, Li Xin really didn’t think this was a good thing, so he had never responded. Even if one day he has to face it, he plans to delay as much as possible; it’s best to have a deeper understanding of the use and significance of the Divine Relic first.

However, today was exceptionally troublesome, the badge on his chest was also heating up and emitting red light, but his body couldn’t move, seemingly trapped in a nightmare. Previously, as long as Li Xin controlled the dice with his thought, it would calm down. Today, it moved repeatedly as if being invaded by an external force.

Li Xin

Bang bang bang…

What’s that thing?

It seemed that something was knocking on it…

Li Xin thought it would settle down after a while as it usually did, but this time it was different. The dice began to vibrate violently, and Li Xin tried to control it but was powerless. This time it came with overwhelming momentum, threatening to engulf him completely, followed by a surge of golden light crashing like a wave, and it swallowed Li Xin’s consciousness directly.

His soul felt like it was being squeezed in a vortex, golden light filled his vision, suddenly everything stopped, and the sky was full of stars. In the countless stars, a few were particularly bright, giving off a feeling of overlooking the starry sky from above.

The next moment, Li Xin felt his body being fixed in place, and there was something under his bottom supporting him…had he sat down?

“Finally, we meet, Mr. Gemini.”

The voice was exceedingly sweet, the kind that merely hearing it would generate a lot of goodwill and imaginations, spoken in the Dao Yuan Continent’s common language.

Li Xin didn’t move, his perception quickly grasped the situation in front of him. He was in a strange space with a high starry dome overhead, a scaled-down version of the vast starry sky he just saw. If he guessed correctly, it represented the brightest constellations of the Twelve Zodiacs above. Beneath him was a high-backed chair, its material unknown, but quite comfortable.

In front of him was a huge round table, like a large roulette. In the center of the round table was a statue of faceless indiscernible figure, although the statue itself was clear, trying to see its face resulted in blurriness. Between its hands, it held something resembling a menu, with some inscriptions on it. Around the round table’s outer ring, there were two tracks formed by golden lines, with intervals representing the constellations, and he was facing Gemini.

The phrase Mr. Gemini…seemed to be directed at him.

Beyond the round table there were no walls, yet there was a sense of closure, the entire room was in a void. He had witnessed something like this outside the castle, a similar feeling but different, outside the castle was a raging space storm, whereas beyond the round table was a calm dark starry sky, endless and infinite.

This could make a fortune if turned into a restaurant.
