Chapter 300: Nita's talent - Cosmic Gambler
A progress bar appeared in front of Nita, slowly filling as the numbers climbed: 20%… 45%… 60%… She bit her lower lip, staring unblinkingly at the screen. Each increase in the percentage made her heart race faster, as though all her hopes were pinned on this process.
Finally, the bar reached 100%, followed by the sound of a system notification.

"Yay yey! Success!" Nita exclaimed excitedly, her voice breaking the silence that had filled the room moments earlier. She leapt from her chair, raising both hands high in the air to release her joy.
After calming down, Nita sat back down and opened her status panel to confirm the result.

Nita was transfixed as she read the description. Her eyes scanned the screen quickly, ensuring she caught every sentence. She even pinched her cheek to make sure this wasn't a dream.
"I need to tell Brother right now!" she exclaimed excitedly. Opening the system chat, she searched for Lein's name in her friend list and quickly typed a message:
[System Chat Messages: Friend chat - with Lein]
cute cat: Brother, where are you?
The reply from Lein came almost immediately.
lein: I'm outside. What's up? Did you finally get a talent?
Nita smiled brightly at Lein's response. She had already guessed that her brother must have been hoping for her success. She eagerly recounted everything that had happened—from her 36 failures to finally obtaining the (Cosmic Gambler S) talent.
Lein replied with words of praise, promising to check on her once he finished his current task.
"Thank you, Brother," Nita whispered after closing the chat. Without Lein, she might have remained just an ordinary girl among billions in the Divine Sky Realm.
Taking a deep breath, Nita rose from her chair with newfound determination.
"Yosh! I must help Brother with my new power!" she declared enthusiastically.
Her face was lit with a radiant smile, and her eyes sparkled. She had waited so long for this moment—the chance to be someone useful to Lein, the person who had given her so much support.
Outside Nita's room, life in the Divine Sky Realm continued peacefully. The sky was clear, with no signs of danger, and people went about their daily activities with calm hearts.
In a faraway place, the atmosphere was in stark contrast to the peace of the Divine Sky Realm. A large cart, pulled by a muscular creature resembling a giant ox, moved slowly along a rocky road. Seated atop the ox was a rough-looking man with a hardened expression, his face emotionless as though this were just another mundane task.
Inside the cart, which was enclosed by iron bars, dozens of humans were trapped in despair. They were captives, their bodies scarred and their eyes filled with exhaustion. Among them, a young girl in tattered clothing shook the body of a woman lying beside her.
"Mother, wake up... I'm scared," she whispered, her tears streaming down her face.
A middle-aged man in the corner of the cart quickly warned her, "Alice, stop crying. If you don't, that man will whip you again." His voice was heavy, reflecting a long history of enduring similar suffering.
Alice stifled her sobs, her ears twitching nervously at the warning. However, her body trembled uncontrollably. Fear consumed her, leaving her utterly helpless.
In another corner of the cart, a man with a body covered in wounds sighed deeply with regret. "If only I hadn't chosen another realm… This is all my fault," he muttered, looking at the others with pained eyes.
"I miss the Divine Sky Realm… Lord Lein… Lord Bai Qi… Lord Mooner si…please save us," another woman said, her voice breaking under the weight of despair.
They were all humans from Earth who had chosen to leave their sky realm during the Birthstone Selection, hoping to find better lives in another realm. But luck had not been on their side.
They had landed in the wrong location—a territory ruled by ruthless bandits. In no time, they were captured and now faced the grim prospect of being sold as slaves.
Everyone in the cart wore iron collars around their necks—system-disrupting artifacts that effectively sealed their powers. They were powerless, forced to await an increasingly bleak fate.
As the cart continued its journey along the crowded road, a young man stood at the roadside. His fiery eyes locked onto the iron cage with unyielding determination.
"Just wait, Alice… I will save you," he muttered, his voice filled with conviction.
However, not all humans who ventured into other realms faced such tragic fates. Some individuals, armed with immense strength and unwavering resolve, managed to survive and seize great opportunities.
