The night mist was like ink, and the dead silence of the Silent Mystery Realm was like an airtight film, isolating all possible sounds.

Mingxi frowned, looking at the Pet Space eggs silently arrayed in the moonlight.

The shells of these Pet Space eggs were covered with various patterns; some had a dull, cold iron-like sheen, while others were adorned with fine, star-like phosphorescent dots.

There was a rule here that had long been discovered: the base pattern on the Pet Space egg represented its opportunity/danger level.

Similar to Pet Space levels, they ranged from low to high: white, red, orange, blue, green, purple, black, gray, and silver, totaling nine colors.

White eggs were basically minor skirmishes, but by the time they reached purple, the blind box might 'open' to directly increase physical fitness or brain development, or directly 'game over'.

So, eggs below purple were generally safe.

But then there was a very realistic problem.

Pet Space eggs with a base color below purple usually weren't high-value Pet Space eggs, so there was no need to gamble on luck to open these blind boxes.

Mingxi quickly scanned the pile of Pet Space eggs.

The quantity was indeed considerable.

Six white-based, nine red-based, three orange-based, eighteen blue-based, and then the most precious three purple-based.

A total of thirty-nine Pet Space eggs.

She didn't know why their group of Transcendent creatures seemed blind, none of them noticed this pile of Pet Space eggs, but Little Silver Flower just glanced casually and found them.

Was this reasonable?

Were she and Golden Yuanbao Seven perhaps ghost-blinded?

The thought itself was absurd.

Mingxi made a gesture to keep a distance.

Outside, these Pet Space eggs were just Pet Space eggs, but here, each Pet Space egg was a destiny blind box.

Although the danger factor of this pile of Pet Space eggs was not high, the probability of opening a death destiny was very small.

But when out and about, it's always right to be a little cautious.

Mingxi stood three steps away, her gaze meticulously scanning the eggs.

"Aas."

Black Pearl, who was lying behind her, leaned forward, its gill-like ears flapping alertly twice, then remembered that its voice couldn't reach its owner.

It could only gently hook Mingxi's clothes with the tip of its tail, transmitting the perceived energy fluctuations through physical contact.

It had to tell its owner that it felt a chaotic, mixed energy on these eggs, like a pile of broken glass mixed in with jade.

Mingxi's fingertips stroked Black Pearl's head twice, signaling that she understood.

Even Black Pearl felt the abnormality, which meant these Pet Space eggs were indeed very mysterious.

"Destiny?"

Mingxi murmured to herself.

"According to the Beast Tamers' past conjectures, what is actually wrapped around these Pet Space eggs is a layer of destiny power, which is why there are good and bad outcomes.

And can these destinies be perceived, touched, but not discerned?"

But can destiny truly not be discerned?

So-called destiny, from the perspective of traditional Eastern Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism: Confucianism and Taoism's 'do one's best, then accept fate,' Taoism's guidance from 'non-action' to 'non-non-action,' and in Buddhism, destiny is the manifestation of 'karma,' or the cycle of cause and effect.

Mingxi particularly liked a sentence written by Mr. Shi Tiesheng in "Fragments from a Sickness": "The limitations of destiny may always exist, but the unyielding challenge must not be absent for a moment."

Destiny may be the base color, but how to splash colors on this base color, that is the art of life.

Therefore, Mingxi was more willing to believe that destiny was not a predetermined script, but a dialogue with the unknown world.

It is both the path beneath our feet and the path we forge ourselves.

So, destiny, why can't it be discerned?

She wanted to try to find patterns, decipher these pattern codes, avoid fatal risks, and gain maximum benefits.

She wasn't a gambler; she «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» wanted to be a decipherer of destiny.

"Luo."

"Break the prison."

Little Silver Flower and Bright Crystal had already bounced in front of Mingxi, gesticulating wildly and scratching their ears and cheeks to express their respective demands.

They wanted to try opening a Pet Space egg blind box.

They were so eager to improve.

Before setting off, Mingxi naturally informed Golden Ingot Eight of the situation in the Silent Mystery Realm in detail.

So Little Silver Flower and Bright Crystal both clearly knew what Pet Space eggs meant.

They were confident that their luck was always invincible.

Mingxi, of course, knew why they were performing such 'performance art'.

Mingxi admitted that their luck was good, but there was never one hundred percent luck; once an error occurred, it would become one hundred percent bad luck.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet; wait a little longer, until I've studied it for a few days."

Little Silver Flower: "..."

Can't hear.

Can't understand.

Bright Crystal: "..."

Women are just troublesome, tsk!

"Camp in place."

Mingxi gestured to Golden Yuanbao and the others, deciding to camp on the spot; after all, she wasn't someone who pursued comfort.

Emerald Green and Scarlet Jade, as logistics managers, immediately sprang into action; they knew Mingxi wouldn't sleep tonight, but at least they had to make her comfortable.

Mingxi sat cross-legged in front of one of the white-based Pet Space eggs, her gaze dissecting the patterns on the eggshell surface like a surgical knife.

Because of years of practicing and studying rule texts, she only needed to look at these mysterious patterns twice to memorize them.

The patterns, seemingly chaotic, subtly formed a contracting energy circuit.

Some energy circuits were very complete, the patterns they formed full and powerful, while others clearly had problems, either incomplete or flawed.

So are all those incomplete and flawed ones bad?

"No, it's too simple."

If the destiny blind box attached to the Pet Space egg were truly that easy to decipher, the Silent Mystery Realm wouldn't be a high-risk secret realm that Beast Tamers flocked to yet feared.

Unfortunately, except for Beast Tamers and Transcendent creatures, ordinary people and animals cannot activate the destiny blind box by touching the Pet Space eggs.

So even if Mingxi could bring a large number of white mice in with the Ring of Life, she couldn't use them to scout the way.

Mingxi began to consider whether to conduct the experiments herself, practicing and verifying at the same time.

After all, Shennong was only poisoned to death after tasting a hundred herbs.

Practice is the only way to gain true knowledge.

"Don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil."

Mingxi took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress the slight tremor in her fingertips, her gaze as sharp as the most precise scanner, repeatedly scrutinizing the complex and profound patterns on the eggshell.

"To hell with the devil!"

"Impulsiveness is clearly a mushroom; at most, you see little people after eating it, I can do it!"

"Little Silver Flower, Bright Crystal, don't say I didn't give you a chance; you each pick one of these two eggs and see."

"Golden Yuanbao, if any of you want to be a little... are interested in the Pet Space egg blind box, you can also try."

Cough.

She's allergic to mushrooms (too unlucky).

This kind of good deed is still best left to the more suitable... guinea pigs.

Little Silver Flower and Bright Crystal showed no resentment at all about being treated as guinea pigs; they were delighted.

Golden Yuanbao and the others also looked eager to try.

Who could refuse opening a blind box?

Alas.

Only her, with a heart like stone, and unwavering resolve!
