The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1142 - 717: Fun Blind Box House_2

"Maybe there’s a third option."

Liu Zheng held the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag in one hand, and the Grade-3 Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune in the other.

"Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag! So you’re the one who was competing with Peacock for the stuff."

The eyes of the Clown Box tilted even more.

"Yes, it’s me."

He admitted frankly.

"Since we’re all collectors, can’t we discuss this matter properly?"

"How do you want to discuss it?"

The Clown Box asked back.

It wasn’t too concerned about just the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag, but adding that Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune, which was clearly a Luck Treasure, was a bit troublesome.

After all, in the Spirit Realm, there were all sorts of things, some it could squash with one slap, and some that could squash it with one slap.

And since the other party dared to fight with Peacock over something, they naturally wouldn’t lack the courage to go down with it.

"Exchange. I’ll give you the ’Lucky Clown Card,’ and you give me an item with equivalent effects."

Liu Zheng said.

If it were other excellent-quality items, he wouldn’t say an extra word and would just return it to make a friend.

But items that enhance Luck Value are rare in themselves, and the effects of the "Lucky Clown Card" still have room to improve; the real quality far exceeds excellent quality, so it’s impossible to give up directly.

"I don’t have an item with equivalent effects."

The Clown Box said.

"Then something with better effects, I can pay extra for the exchange."

Liu Zheng immediately said.

"Hmph, wishful thinking."

The Clown Box rolled its eyes at him.

"We’re all collectors here; bartering is quite normal, isn’t it? I’ve got plenty of good stuff here; doesn’t Brother He want to have a look?"

He tempted.

"I’m now the owner of the Fun Blind Box House, not a collector. If you want it, I can put the item in the prize pool, and if you can draw it, it’s yours."

The Clown Box said.

"That probability is too low; no way, no way."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then I’ll put it in the blind box every round, as long as you empty the prize pool in that round, you’re guaranteed to draw it. Is that alright?"

The Clown Box took a step back.

"How many blind boxes are there in each round?"

He asked.

"Nine."

"Hmm, fine then."

He said, somewhat reluctantly.

"Now return the ’Lucky Clown Card’ to me."

The Clown Box extended its hand clad in white gloves.

"Can’t I keep it until I draw it?"

"Do you think I’m a charity? Letting you use my lucky item to draw from my blind boxes?"

The Clown Box glared.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng reluctantly returned the ’Lucky Clown Card’ to it.

"My treasure, you’ve finally returned to me."

The Clown Box hugged the ’Lucky Clown Card,’ rubbing its face vigorously against the card’s surface.

After being nauseatingly affectionate for a while, it took a deck of playing cards out of the box, inserted the ’Lucky Clown Card’ into it, and the whole deck immediately emitted a faint glow.

"Don’t worry, I will fulfill my promise. Are you going to spend ’meat’ to draw or Extraordinary Items?"

The Clown Box looked at his reluctant expression and said.

"Can I use money?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No."

"Tch, then I’ll use Extraordinary Items."

He said.

"I only have one piece of ’meat’ left, which I need to keep for tomb raiding, but I do have some spare Extraordinary Items."

"Alright."

The Clown Box clapped its hands, and a gacha machine immediately appeared by the wall.

The gacha machine had a 3x3 grid cabinet, with each cell containing a black gacha egg.

"Place your Extraordinary Item into the slot below, and the machine will automatically determine its value and grant you the corresponding number of draws."

"Each round’s prize pool will surely have a grand prize, and possibly a super grand prize. The first draw costs one draw opportunity, the second costs two, and each subsequent draw costs the sum of the previous draws."

"Press the start button, and the colored indicator below the gacha egg will light up in cycles. If you want to draw a specific gacha, press the start button again when the indicator light lands on it."

"If you want to change the prize pool, press and hold the start button."

The Clown Box explained the rules.

"What if I draw a gacha egg that’s already been drawn?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Well, that’s just bad luck for you. The indicator moves slowly, so if you draw wrong, it means you’re not paying attention."

The Clown Box said.

"Oh."

He replied casually, lost in thought.

According to the Clown Box’s rules, to clear the prize pool in one round, Liu Zheng would need 384 draw opportunities.

That number sounded outrageous at first, but since Niu Ma specifically directed him to the Fun Blind Box House, it probably wasn’t to cheat him.

Probably...

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and retrieved a jelly from the System Space.

"Name: Colorful XX Jelly (One-time use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Slightly restores stamina."

"Effect Two: Temporarily boosts sexual performance and increases the chance of pregnancy for the fertilized (ineffective for those who cannot conceive or the Immortal Species that are extremely difficult to conceive)."

"Remark: A wondrous food made from the XX of over a hundred species, it not only ensures a harmonious sex life for you and your partner but also blesses your family with a newborn (as long as you don’t mind who the biological father might be)."

"Can be taken out of an instance: Yes"

This thing’s raw ingredients are disgusting, and its effect is quite mediocre. If nothing unexpected occurs, he might forget about it altogether. So it’s perfect for drawing blind boxes.

Liu Zheng placed the "Colorful XX Jelly" into the slot below the machine, and as the panel flipped to swallow the item, the counter next to the start button turned to "6."

"Is that considered high value or low value?"

He asked.

"It’s moderately high. Generally, an excellent-quality Extraordinary Item can only give up to 10 draw opportunities."

The Clown Box said.

"This thing is moderately high? How is value assessed here?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"How would I know? I didn’t make this machine."

The Clown Box spread its white-gloved hands.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng shrugged and pressed the start button.

The blind boxes all looked the same, so there was no point in choosing. As soon as the colored indicator lit up, he pressed the start button again, drawing the first gacha egg.

The gacha egg swayed twice and disappeared, and when it reappeared in the slot, it had turned white.

"What does a white gacha egg mean?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Consolation prize."

"Alright."

Consolation prize then; just treat it as eliminating a wrong choice.

He unscrewed the gacha egg, revealing a slip of paper inside.

"You’ve won a Joker Special Cocktail."

"Not bad, that’s quite the prize for a consolation prize. Do you want to drink it now?"

The Clown Box asked after seeing it.

"I’ll wait until the draws are done before drinking it."

He pressed the start button again, this time moving a bit slower and drawing the third gacha egg.

The gacha egg appeared in the slot, and its shell turned green.

"What’s this?"

"Small prize, there’s a chance to break even."

The Clown Box said.

"Really?"

Liu Zheng unscrewed the gacha egg, revealing another slip of paper inside.

"You’ve won another draw opportunity."

"See, you broke even, right?"

The Clown Box wore an expression of ’I told you so.’

"I clearly lost one draw opportunity."

He shook his head and pressed the start button again.

This time, he waited for the indicator lights to spin around completely before drawing, hitting the sixth gacha egg.

The gacha egg appeared in the slot with a purple shell.

"This is a prize; unless you’re really unlucky, you should break even at least."

The Clown Box explained proactively.

"I hope so."

Liu Zheng unscrewed the gacha egg case, revealing a model of a soldier wearing tactical gear and holding a submachine gun.

"Name: Little Soldier (One-time use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Upon use, the Little Soldier will gain intelligence and skills akin to an ordinary soldier, completely obeying the player’s commands. The equipment carried will function accordingly, but its power is proportionately reduced. Duration is half an hour."

"Remark: Though he’s just a plastic toy, he still possesses the will of steel."

"Can be taken out of an instance: Yes"
