Chapter 82: Chapter 78: Game Update, Launch of Combat Power Rankings
[You have two chances to draw the lottery, do you want to draw now?]
A street-style lottery wheel appeared in front of Li Zheng, with sections marked on it, and an arrow pointing down.
Each section indicates the type of item that could be drawn, distinguished by color for quality.
For example: materials, blueprints, genetic ability development tools, finished weapons, finished armor, etc.
The quality ranges from the lowest Black Iron to the highest Platinum.
The lower the quality, the wider the section; the higher the quality, the narrower the section.
Particularly for the Platinum level quality option, it’s as thin as a strand of hair.
"NetEase must have had a hand in developing this lottery wheel!"
Li Zheng silently mocked and confirmed to start the first lottery draw.
"Draw!"
As soon as he thought about it, the lottery wheel started spinning rapidly. When it reached its peak speed, becoming a blur, the option [Stop] finally appeared.
"Typical! Afraid people will stop it instantly to snag a good item?"
Li Zheng sneered and didn’t stop it immediately, letting the wheel spin endlessly.
He let it spin until his eyes were sore and his head was dizzy, then suddenly selected the [Stop] option.
The next moment, the wheel slowly decelerated, taking thirty seconds to come to a complete stop, pointing to the light green [Material] option.
"Damn! I went through all that trouble to get a Bronze-level material?"
Li Zheng completely lost interest and claimed the reward.
[This lottery draw yielded Bronze-level basic material [1000g Manganese Steel B25 Level]]
"Well."
Seeing the material name and quantity, Li Zheng raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He actually got material that could be used to repair the capsule abode, and the amount was quite considerable.
"Not bad, seems like teaming up with Phoenix Mountain has brought me some luck."
Very pleased, he accepted the item and started the second lottery draw.
This time he didn’t wait long. As soon as the [Stop] option appeared, he selected it.
Another thirty seconds passed, and the wheel stopped, pointing to the silvery gray [Finished Weapon].
"A Silver-level weapon?"
Li Zheng nodded. Although he didn’t get Platinum level, or even Gold level, he was quite satisfied.
The Desert Eagle, although useful, combined with the Snake Grass Needle special ammunition, made all non-mechanical creatures below the Bronze level seem like paper.
However, as Li Zheng’s challenges reached higher tiers, the Desert Eagle was gradually lagging behind.
Even when facing Gold-level creatures, without Genetic Ability, the bullets could be easily slapped away.
"Hopefully it’s a melee type weapon. Although the Ion Light Saber is Silver-level and quite powerful, it requires filling a Power Core as energy, which is pretty high in consumption, and my little stash can’t afford that."
Li Zheng calculated that after this exploration of the Ancient Ruins, the Ion Light Saber had just over half of its energy left, intending to find a reason to either sell or give it to Zhan Zhouzhou, as a personal favor.
"Fine, at worst, I’ll treat it as compensation for concealing the Mechanical Giant’s decomposition gains..." freewēbnoveℓ.com
What the Mechanical Giant decomposed can just be used to upgrade Prelis’ Eye; Li Zheng was reluctant to share it with others.
But compensating with some other items is acceptable.
"After all, I can’t use those blueprints. I’ll distribute some to Phoenix Mountain and the others later."
With his mind made up, Li Zheng felt much more at ease, as the guilt of greedily pocketing the decomposition gains was lifted.
With a compensation mechanism in place, he’s at least crossed this hurdle in his mind.
If they later found out and pursued it, he would have an explanation, wouldn’t he?
If still dissatisfied, at most, he could give them some discounts on future Genetic Potion orders.
In short, leverage the future as best as possible while focusing on the present.
"And as for long-range weapons, once I craft the Flywheel Hand Cannon, wouldn’t a Gold-level ranged weapon be superior to anything else?"
Extract.
In the next moment, with another system prompt, Li Zheng blinked, the wheel disappeared, and he found himself back at the metallic door from when he first entered the Ancient Ruins.
The dark curtain of light was still swirling continuously. As Li Zheng took it all in, the metallic door slowly closed shut, and the indicator light of the card reader beside the door turned off.
[This lottery draw yielded Silver-level finished weapon [Icarus’s Ham]]
"..."
Li Zheng looked at this prompt, ignoring even why the metallic door closed abruptly, and instead directly retrieved an oily, gigantic stick from his capsule abode.
Feeling the slippery yet firm texture, with a hint of softness, Li Zheng was speechless.
"This is actually a ham, huh!"
Are you kidding me?
What kind of game categorizes a ham as a melee weapon instead of food?!
At this moment, in Li Zheng’s heart, countless grass-mud horses ran wildly, with expressions of Yao Ming’s smiley face meme.
[Huh? Is it finally over?
Thank goodness, Old Pre was almost stifled to death.
Eh?
Icarus’s Ham, Silver-level, Weapon
Description: This is a ham, and it’s also a weapon.
Here is some information kindly provided by Evaluator Old Pre:
Icarus was once a famous assassin, whose hallmark weapon was an ’unremarkable’ ham.
No exaggeration, the item in your hand might seem unreliable, but it’s a ’legendary’ piece.
Kind reminder +1: If you ever run out of food, try its taste.
Long ago, there were street performers who swallowed swords, now a player could swallow ham?
