The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 531: Pfff....

At this time, Athan and Hings looked at the three small piles of bronze, silver, and gold stones.

"Good luck, both of you. Now start picking up the stones. One stone of each type," A beautiful lady who was in charge of this stone gamble spoke.

Hings nodded as he started looking carefully, with his eye gleaming a bit.

On the other hand, Athan internally scoffed, 'Luck? Screw it. Hey Primo, check the stones and tell me which one contains things of high-quality power. You can at least judge which thing is more valuable based on its energy level, right?'

'Nyaa! Leave it to me, Master.' Primo spoke as he first flew towards the pile of bronze stone.

Primo checked all stones hurriedly and told Athan which stone to pick.

Seeing Athan picking up his three stones so fast, others were dumbfounded.

"Young man. It looks like you are really relying on pure luck. I have to commend you on that, Hahaha," Ingeal said before laughing with gusto.

Hings was dumbfounded as he said, "Are you sure?"

Athan waved his hand as he put his three stones on the table and said with a carefree smile, "It's fine. You can take your time to pick."

After saying that, He turned to Tiana and others, "You all, just play and spend those high-grade chaos stones however you want and enjoy."

Shiromi and others wryly smiled, but with Athan's insistence, they nodded.

"Let's go, then," Athan said as he started walking towards other games, but before that, he turned around and said with a grin, "Tell me when you are done picking your stones."

...

Athan and others went to another game that was known as Dishes of Food Fishes.

In front of them was a giant pond, and colorful fishes were swimming inside the pond within glowing bubbles. Some fish were small, and some big, and the biggest fish were half a meter long.

There were many people around the pond as they used fishing rods to catch the fish.

The fishing rods were special since only with them they can catch those mysterious, colorful fishes glowing in bubbles.

Athan bought everyone a fishing rod which cost one hundred high-grade chaos stones each, and started fishing.

Nacy smiled and said, "After you catch a fish, you will have to pay for it by measuring it in that glass box since fishes here have different values. The measuring box is also a type of gamble.

Licking her lips, Nacy continued with a smile, "These fishes are living food cooked by Master Mystic Chefs. Each fish tastes differently but are very delicious, and they have beneficial effects on you along with...some side effects as well."

"Side effects?" Sen asked while others were also confused.

Lady Fu wryly smiled as she shook her head and said with a sigh, "Yeah, I remember one of the side effects that troubled me, and that bastard Lenek took advantage of that situation."

Nacy smiled awkwardly as she knew about that incident and said, "Ahem...All fishes have certain beneficial effects with different potency values, and along with those benefits, some fishes have side effects as well. It depends on your luck on which kind of fish you catch."

Nacy then coughed as she continued with a wry smile, "The side effects could be a headache, stomach growling the loudly without your control, bad smell oozing out from the body, uncontrollable urges for certain...something, and etcetera.

"But don't worry! Those side effects wouldn't stay for much long. The highest potency level of side effects is five days, and you can also buy its cure from here to remove the side effects immediately."

"Interesting, hahaha. Everyone, let's start catching the fishes and see who is the most unfortunate among us,"? Athan spoke with a laugh. But internally, he thought, 'Though I am pretty sure I am the most unfortunate here since this damn Chaosverse has something against me.'

"Hehe, it sounds fun. I just hope that I don't have that bad side-effect of smelling bad." Avelia said as she used the fishing rod and put the string in the pond.

Others also followed as everyone started fishing.

The fishing here was simple; people could observe and clearly see the fishes as they were swimming, and they just had to bring their fishing hook towards a fish they wanted and touch its bubble.

Once the bubble is touched, It will break, and the fish will take the hook which broke its bubble.

The speed of fishes constantly changed as sometimes, they would swim very fast, and sometimes, they would slow down.

Athan caught the first fish randomly and pulled the fishing rod, and took out the fish.

"Here, measure its value," Athan said as he passed the fish to a staff member who was a young man with dark green and yellow hair with long horns.

The man smiled as he took the fish and put it inside the glass box that they got when they bought the fishing rods.

The glass box had some water, and once he put the fish inside, some blue cloud materialized from the box and showed numbers.

500-1000.

Seeing that, the man conjured a dice and gave it to Athan, "Please throw it on the table."

The dice were bigger than average dice and had six numbers printed on them.

500-600-700-800-900-1000.

Athan threw the dice, and 1000 came up.

The staff member smiled and said, "Please pay 1000 high-grade chaos stones if you want the fish."

Theo was fishing nearby and curiously watched Athan when he rolled 1000, "Whew, that's tough luck, Athan."

Athan wryly smiled and paid one thousand high-grade chaos stones before taking the fish.

At this time, Tiana and others paused since they wanted to see the effect of fish on Athan.

"Hehe, come on, Athan. Let's see if you get any side-effect of not," Avelia said with a chuckle.

Athan grinned as he put the mystical glowing fish in his mouth, and once it touched his mouth, it melted magically as Athan involuntarily exclaimed, "Delicious..."

He then also felt strange force coursing through his body as it turned into a glowing gold orb and stayed near his Order Eidos.

'That should be the so-called benefit. I should check it later, but what is this energy that's going to my face?' Athan wondered as he felt some kind of mystical energy going to his face from inside rapidly before he felt his facial muscles moving and twitching.

He couldn't stop that mystical energy with his order force and chaos force at all. Although he felt that he could erase it with his abyssal darkness, he didn't do it since that mystical energy was not any threat to him, and he wanted to see what it would do.

"Pfff, hahaha..."

Athan heard a loud laugh of Avelia while others also couldn't help but laugh.

'Is that my nose?' Athan thought as he could see something poking out from the position of his nose.

The staff member wiped the sweat on his face as he showed a mirror to Athan.

Athan looked at the mirror and was speechless before he also couldn't help but stretch a wry smile.

At this time, Athan's face looked very funny. His nose turned into a long and thick red stick like that of tomato but the shape of a straight banana.

Additionally, His ears had also changed as two yellow and black ugly-looking flowers grew from them.

His eyebrows had also changed as they became long, straight, and sharp with green colored, and at the end of those point eyebrows, there were tiny green bells.

Speechless, Athan looked at the staff as his eyes twitched, ringing the tiny bells on his eyebrows. That action caused another fit of a laugh from the group.

"Hahahahah...That's too funny, Athan."

Arcued held himself back greatly as his facial muscles twitched furiously, "I-I sh-shall not laugh...Em-emperor."

"What are you waiting for? Give me the antidote," Athan said with a speechless expression as he looked at the staff, who also greatly held himself back from laughing. Well, he had received training not to laugh since such occurrences were common here.

"Right away, sir!" The staff took out an antidote and gave it to Athan with a polite smile, "Three hundred high-grade chaos stones for the antidote, sir."

*tink tink tink....*

"Pfff...."

"Fine, fine...," Athan took out chaos stones before taking the antidote that looked like a pill and ate it.

Athan looked at others after his face returned to normal and grinned, "Hehehe, you all had some good laugh but your turn will also come. Come on, start fishing."
