Chapter 91 Group Lottery, He Xi Draws a Prize
In a short time, more than twenty maids arranged by Murong Yue were all put to work without exception. Even she herself began stepping forward to clean.
Seeing that everyone else had started working while he alone stood idle, Wu Tong felt a little embarrassed and went up to help the women with the chores.
…
Although the women were all professional maids, skilled at tidying and cleaning, the treehouse was simply too large. Even with twenty-two people working together, they still found themselves busy without pause.
Only when night fully descended, draping the land in darkness, did they finally finish cleaning the treehouse.
When the crescent moon hung high in the sky and the stars shimmered above, the exhausted women, seeing how late it was, naturally had no more desire to continue exploring the academy. Each found her own room and went to rest.
Wu Tong did the same. Although not particularly tired, since the others had gone to rest, he too picked a room on the tenth floor and lay down on the bed.
Only after lying down did Wu Tong suddenly realize something was off.
Wasn't he determined to be a salted fish? Why had he started working again?
After thinking for a long while, he recalled his delicate maid group and sighed. "Forget it, forget it. I really am a good boss. With my personality, it seems I can never truly become a capitalist."
Sigh~
——
Damn, I can't sleep.
After lying on the bed with eyes half-shut for a while, Wu Tong still could not fall asleep. He opened his eyes, his dark pupils clear and bright, without the slightest trace of drowsiness.
The feeling of wanting to sleep but being unable to was truly frustrating. Wu Tong suddenly became curious—what were those silly group members doing?
With that thought, Wu Tong opened the chat group.
…
Inside the Dimensional Chat Group.
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: After several days of negotiation, I finally succeeded in entering the relevant department.
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: Family, I'm now officially a staff member with a secure post.
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: March Seventh silly smile.jpg.
[Photo Princess]: …
March Seventh only wished to express that people's joys and sorrows are not the same, so please forgive her for being unable to empathize.
Well, after several days of being bombarded with memes, little March finally grew accustomed to having herself turned into memes.
A matter worth celebrating indeed.
[Seeker Of Dao]: That truly is a congratulations.
[Seeker Of Dao]: As expected, the end of the universe is always employment.
[Seeker Of Dao]: But what exactly is the name of that department?
[Seeker Of Dao]: You always say "relevant department, relevant department." In this group there's no confidentiality agreement to keep, so tell us, won't you?
Wu Tong was truly curious. Just how mysterious was this department that even the group leader had never revealed any information?
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: Emmm… it really is just the relevant department.
[Seeker Of Dao]: ???
[UnshakenBilian]: No way? Group leader, are you saying the department's actual name is "Relevant Department"?
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: Yes, your understanding is absolutely correct.
[Seeker Of Dao]: …
Speechless, family. There's even such an operation? Wu Tong felt thoroughly shocked.
[UnshakenBilian]: Heavens, I thought such a name was just used in novels as a joke, but it actually exists?
[UnshakenBilian]: Which great genius came up with it?
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: The minister. He's a chuunibyou, but very strong, and especially loves reading novels.
…Understood.
At that moment, not only Zhang Chulan but everyone else understood what had happened. It was simply a matter of the leader pushing through all objections and insisting on his own idea.
[UnshakenBilian]: 666.
[Slime King]: 666.
[Photo Princess]: 666.
…
Just as everyone was displaying the true nature of a human repeater, a voice suddenly appeared.
[Congratulations to group member "Heavenly Base King" for drawing a Seventh-Tier Treasure: Space Stone through the group lottery.]
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: ???
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: What's going on, can the group lottery really give out good things?
Gu Ruoli was utterly shocked. She knew well the tricks behind that so-called group lottery.
Although it claimed that one could draw treasures from across all worlds, the truth was far more complicated.
The lottery was divided into five levels, each requiring different amounts of points. A basic draw cost one hundred points, an intermediate draw ten thousand, an advanced draw one million, a super draw one hundred million, and a special draw ten billion.
When Gu Ruoli first saw it, she was stunned by the absurd prices. Good heavens, a hundredfold increase each tier? A single draw for ten billion points—how rich would one need to be?
Basic draws could only yield First to Third-Tier items, intermediate could give Fourth to Sixth-Tier items, advanced Seventh to Ninth-Tier treasures, and super draws had a chance to produce Tenth-Tier treasures.
Only when a Seventh-Tier item was drawn would the chat group make a public announcement. Generally, only advanced draws triggered announcements.
However, with extreme luck, it was possible to draw items across tiers—for example, obtaining a higher-tier item from an intermediate draw.
In truth, these lotteries consisted mostly of junk salvaged from the endless void by the chat group and its creators. The best were merely Tenth-Tier items crafted with care by great figures.
Only the special draw could truly connect with the endless void and myriad dimensions, achieving a truly fair random lottery. With sufficient luck, one could even obtain treasures surpassing the Tenth Tier.
But everything relied on a single condition: luck.
After all, the group lottery had no guarantee mechanism. With bad luck, even a hundred consecutive draws could be nothing but trash.
Those who played games would surely understand how terrifying a lack of guarantee could be.
[Photo Princess]: Right, didn't the group leader say the group lottery was full of trash? How could there be a Seventh-Tier treasure?
[Heavenly Base King]: …
[Heavenly Base King]: Sigh~
[Heavenly Base King]: That line is something only little March would still believe.
[Slime King]: Exactly, the group leader was just venting his frustration as an unlucky non-draw player.
[Passerby]: Right, even if useless from the perspective of a Tenth-Tier powerhouse, we aren't at that level. For us, those items are definitely valuable.
[UnshakenBilian]: True, but who would've thought Sister He Xi could draw a Seventh-Tier treasure—and a Space Stone at that. This isn't simple. One of the Infinity Stones of the Marvel world, it holds infinite energy and can freely manipulate space.
[UnshakenBilian]: But doesn't it only work in the Marvel world? How could it be rated a Seventh-Tier treasure?
[Heavenly Base King]: It truly is a Seventh-Tier treasure. The chat group must have modified it so it can be used in all worlds.
[Dragon King Sprays Water]: …
Gu Ruoli fell silent. Their guess was spot on. She had drawn before—a hundred consecutive pulls—and not a single good item appeared. Just thinking about it pained her deeply. Ten thousand points, all wasted.
Unable to accept it, she had revealed the truth about the lottery to the group.
In simple terms, it was just an unlucky player venting frustration to the group. Yet she never expected that someone would actually take her words seriously?
Turns out it was little March.
In that case, nothing more to say.
[Chi Yuan Immortal]: …
There was another person who was struck down as well—our Chi Yuan Immortal, Fu Hua.
If Pardofelis and Kiana were considered the lucky ones of the Honkai world, then Fu Hua was at the opposite extreme.
When speaking of the unluckiest in Honkai, Immortal Fu, the Chi Yuan warrior, was absolutely deserving of the title.
Wu Tong looked at this scene and could not help but let out a laugh.
