Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Upon inspecting the storehouse, Ming discerned ample psychic stones, as well as sufficient quantities of boss soul crystals and essences; however, conspicuously absent were the robust wings.

"can't be!" Ming scrutinized the entirety of the cards acquired today, noticing an orange one:

[Exclusive Golden Mantis Twin Blade Design Module]

[Endurance +20]

[Strength +35]

[Agility +30]

[Mental +10]

[Exclusive Attribute: Insect Hunter... The mantis, an exceptional hunter within the insect realm, when fourth strike a guaranteed armor-piercing blow against insectoid mutated creatures.]

[Exclusive Attribute: Insect Bane... This blade inflicts 20% more damage against insectoid-mutated creatures and 50% more against mantises.]

[Synthesis Materials: 30 Refined Gold, 50 Psychic Stones, 10 Fine Fibers, 1 Boss Soul Crystal, 5 Boss Essences]

"What a magnificent blade!"

Ming chose not to synthesize immediately; desiring to craft wings first, he continued perusing the cards. A purple one read:

[Appraisal Scroll*2]

[king Blood Certificate*1]

"Marvelous indeed!" Ming briefly glanced over the items, deciding to preserve them for later. He continued looking at the blue cards:

[Sturdy Wings*6]

[Boss Soul Crystal*2]

[Overlord Blood Certificate*2]

"Six of them!" Ming was elated, Merely four more were required to fabricate the wings.

Where should I find out?

"Aha!"

Ming, who generally preferred solitude, decided to contradict his principles this evening. In find of the wings, he opted to attend a gathering. but, among the entire district, obtaining four wing cards today should be achievable.

The remaining cards revealed a few beginner treasure maps and some basic materials, such as Essences. At that moment, he recall an unopened Epic Treasure Chest, which his frogs had discovered in a pool at Fruiting Mountain.

With recent days have been overwhelmingly busy, he hadn't found the time to inspect the chest.in an Epic Treasure Map had been dropped during his last kill the Hip-Hop Thug Angelo.

One couldn't deny that Angelo was incredibly wealthy, but the world's unique Bosses were difficult to be seen again.

Before opening the chest, a tradition was observed...

[Your foodie is engaging in sweet nothings with a koi... You grab it from the pond... The foodie is dumbfounded... "What are you doing? Put me down! I just kissed it!"]

[Your foodie looks at you helplessly, feeling your grasp as it rubs its belly against the box in your arms... Its eyes widen as if to say, "That's enough..."]

[Feeling lighter, the foodie is tossed back into the pond and immediately burrows beneath a lotus leaf to resume its sweet moments... Your foodie blows a bubble that envelops one exhaled by the koi, and they are both overjoyed...]

"I..."

Ming was taken aback. Good heavens! So their sweet intimacy consisted merely of bubble-wrapped bubbles.

"Da Vinci?" Ming glanced down at Da Vinci only to find that it and the butterfly had disappeared.

No matter... a squirrel's belly may suffice. After all, it was the only surviving wild creature on the area's map, and its luck should be decent.

Ming gestured to the squirrel, which promptly leaped from a coconut tree and landed sturdily on the roof before conscientiously hopping onto his palm.

"Don't be afraid, it'll only take a moment," he assured.

Ming gently rubbed the squirrel against the box, taking care not to apply too much pressure, as it had recently been stung by a bee and still had swollen welts.

After the box had been rubbed, the squirrel touched down, joyously clutching the two walnuts gifted to it before limping away...

"Fortune, come!"

Ming immediately opened the chest and used the Epic Treasure Map... Opening the... Epic Treasure Chest...

The box opened, a brilliant radiance revealing: 1 Gold, 1 Orange, and 5 Purple cards...

Unbelievable! An Epic chest yielding a Gold card!

This was too exhilarating!

Gold card:

[Exclusive Underwater Breath-Holding Master: Exclusive psychic ability, enabling 20 minutes of breath-holding underwater after use. It Consumes 50 units of psychic energy, 100 Mental points, and 100 Endurance points. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.]

"Underwater?"

This psychic ability was indeed extraordinary. Today's luck had been truly remarkable—

Orange card: [Equipment Fusion Scroll*1]

"!!"

Ming suppressed his excitement, having finally acquired a fusion scroll. He would save it for when he had suitable equipment to undergo a fusion.

This item was exceedingly rare, with only two scrolls encountered after all this time. Therefore, it was crucial to use them judiciously.

Purple cards: [Appraisal Scrolls*5]

"Hahaha~"

This chest opening had been incredibly worthwhile, thanks to both Foodie and the squirrel's bellies... Wait, perhaps the koi's fortune had played a part too!

From this perspective, rescuing it from the filthy pond back then had been the right decision. Look at how content it was now. Next time he opened a chest, he would have to make use of the koi's belly too.

An exclusive psychic ability, a fusion scroll, and five appraisal scrolls make a total of seven appraisal scrolls when combined with the two previously obtained.

However, Ming couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy now.

"This is so difficult~" Ming touched the tip of his nose, furrowing his brow. He scanned his inventory, finding over twenty pieces of unappraised equipment, all of which had been taken from king-level creatures. With five rings alone, he was struggling to decide which to appraise.

"This is so difficult~" Ming frowned, looking down at himself. It seemed that only rings were left unadorned.

"Then I'll appraise a ring first." Ming gritted his teeth, making a decision. He took out a platinum ring embedded with a large diamond, which also came from the previously shared monster: Hip Hop Thug Angelo.

this was, Angelo had pawned the ring to pay for a prescription at the magician's tent.

He had initially wanted to appraise a gold necklace, but as only one piece of similar equipment could be worn, he decided against it. The koi necklace he was wearing was marvelous, and although he had obtained a fusion scroll, he couldn't bear to use it. So, he opted to appraise a ring instead...

Ring appraisal... Appraisal successful...

[Exclusive Angelo's Platinum Diamond Ring]

[All attributes +10]

[Exclusive Attribute: Angelo's five rings can be worn simultaneously, making you appear wealthy, with stackable attributes]

[Exclusive Attribute: Wearing all five of Angelo's rings simultaneously triggers a set effect]

"Simultaneous wearing, stackable attributes! And there's even a set effect!"

Ming rubbed his temples, feeling conflicted again...

He wanted to appraise all five rings together, but considering that he might need appraisal scrolls for better equipment in the future, he realized he now understood the feeling of having money but not knowing how to spend it.

No, he should acknowledge that he wasn't wealthy enough yet. Yes, he needed to be thrifty and frugal.

"I won't focus on it!" Ming rubbed his stiff face. Since he didn't know how to choose, he decided to save the decision for later. After all, he could use these items anytime he wanted.

Checking the time, the evening bonfire party was about to start. Ming decided to focus on finding someone to trade wing cards with, so he could craft the small wings as his priority.

[Your Da Vinci has finally experienced the fatigue of chasing after the opposite sex... It has been hopping around the mountaintop chasing the butterfly for more than twenty laps without success... It decides to give up, not chasing anymore...]

[Your Da Vinci approaches the butterfly, utilizing its collection ability. The collection is successful... Da Vinci thinks this is the most effective method... Such a clever little frog]
