It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 721 Funny Blind Box House

"Is it too late for me to go out now?"

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

"Of course it's too late, I have a minimum charge here."

The voice inside the gift box said.

"Well, actually I'm not familiar with cows and horses."

He tried to draw a line.

"I can smell the stench of cattle and horses on you. You two spend every day together, don't you?"

"Actually, if I could, I wouldn't want to stay with it either."

Liu Zheng said.

"I understand. It really takes a lot of willpower to stay with a bastard like that."

The voice inside the gift box said sympathetically.

"Long live understanding. By the way, did you smell anything else?"

he asked.

"What is the taste?"

"The taste of fine wine."

Liu Zheng took out a bottle of silver label.

"Dukang Distillery's silver label? Oh, it's been so long since I've had it. The last time was ten years ago."

The voice inside the gift box sighed.

"Then let's try it and see if the taste has changed from ten years ago."

He walked up to the gift box and put the silver label down.

“You don’t need to say that. I’ve already said that I won’t treat you differently just because you’re a cow or a horse.”

The voice inside the gift box said.

"But I hope I can be treated specially."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"You are much more sincere and polite than cattle and horses."

"In fact, I have always had reservations about my boss's character."

He shrugged.

"Well, you've won me over, young black goat calf hybrid."

As soon as the words were spoken, the gift box opened automatically, and a clown with a wise face and two separate eyes popped out.

Although this scene had the atmosphere of a horror movie, Liu Zheng was already used to being tortured by all sorts of monsters and demons every day.

"How do i call you?"

He asked politely.

"Just call me Clown Box."

As the clown spoke, he picked up the silver badge and poured it into his mouth.

After taking a few sips, a look of both satisfaction and regret appeared on its face.

"If you don't mind, this can be served as a snack with your drinks."

Liu Zheng understood immediately and took out a few dried small fish.

"How could a bastard like Niu Ma have a follower as human as you?"

After a few sips of wine, Clown Box became increasingly direct in his speech.

"It's probably a genetic mutation."

He replied casually.

"Hmm? Hmm, it seems so."

The clown box gave him a deep look, as if it were thinking about something.

"How do I make a payment here?"

Liu Zheng got down to business.

"Since it's called the 'Fun Blind Box House,' it's naturally about opening blind boxes. I have three ways to play here."

"The first type of spending money offers three types of prizes: points, miscellaneous items, and extraordinary items."

"The second type of flower 'meat' has three prizes: points, 'meat', and extraordinary items."

"The third type of extraordinary item has two prizes: points and extraordinary items."

"Points can be used to redeem various blind boxes, and must be spent at once; they cannot be carried over."

Clown Box explained.

"I choose the second option."

He said it without hesitation.

Money and extraordinary items are gone once spent, but his 'flesh' can grow back after being spent.

"You're not thinking of using your own 'flesh,' are you? I won't accept that."

The clown box shook its head.

"why?"

“The meat of a black goat calf has a strange smell, and the smell on you is especially strange. Others can tolerate it and eat it anyway, but I can’t stand it.”

"Clown Box said disdainfully."

"Isn't that a bit racist?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Yeah, so what? Go ahead and sue me at the city hall if you dare."

"That's perfectly reasonable," the clown said confidently.

Putting aside the fact that racial discrimination is rampant in the metropolis, the idea of ​​going to the city hall to sue black market people is quite ironic.

"If you're not capable, then I'll try the first option."

Liu Zheng said.

Try spending money to test the waters first. If it seems reliable, then try using your unused supernatural items.

"Okay. The minimum bet is one thousand, and you can only bet multiples of one thousand. You can bet all of it on one, or you can spread it out."

"The Clown Box said."

"Please wait a moment while I prepare."

He took out his makeup tools and put on clown makeup.

"You don't think that just because you wear the same makeup as me, I'll give you any special treatment, do you?"

Clown Box raised his thick red eyebrows and said.

Then, he immediately thought of something.

"Wait, did Niu Ma give you the 'Lucky Joker' card?"

he asked excitedly.

"what?"

Liu Zheng didn't answer, but his expression betrayed him.

"As expected, that damned bastard Niu Ma stole my 'Lucky Joker' card. No wonder it hasn't come back since then. I thought it was a sore loser, but it turns out it was just a guilty conscience!"

The clown box roared in anger.

"Um, I'm innocent."

Liu Zheng said weakly.

"The evidence is right in your hands, and you're telling me you're innocent?"

The clown sneered.

"Hmm, have you ever heard of bona fide acquisition?"

He tried to struggle one more time.

Bona fide acquisition refers to a property ownership system in which a person who has no right to dispose of another person's property transfers the property in their possession to a third party, and the transferee acquires the property in good faith, that is, legally acquires ownership of the property, and the original property owner cannot demand the transferee to return the property.

Simply put, if someone buys your stolen items through legitimate channels, you cannot demand their return, even if you can prove they are yours.

“I haven’t heard of it, and I don’t want to hear about it. Now you only have two choices: let me beat you to death or give me back what you’ve got.”

The clown box made no attempt to conceal its murderous intent.

"Perhaps there is a third option."

Liu Zheng held a bag of spirit world gold coins in one hand and a third-grade Qi Luck Golden Lotus Seed in the other.

"A spirit world gold coin bag! So you were the one who stole the peacock's things."

The clown box's eyes became even more crooked.

"Yes, it's me."

He readily admitted it.

"Since we're all collectors, shouldn't we discuss this matter properly?"

How do you want to discuss this?

The clown box countered with a question.

It wasn't too afraid of the spirit world's gold coin bag alone, but the addition of that golden lotus seed, which was clearly a treasure of good fortune, made things a bit more troublesome.

After all, the spirit world is full of all sorts of things; some it can kill with a single slap, and others it can kill with a single slap.

And since the other party dared to steal from the peacock, they certainly wouldn't lack the courage to perish together with it.

“Exchange. I’ll give you the ‘Lucky Joker’ card, and you give me an item with the same effect.”

Liu Zheng said.

If it were any other high-quality item, he wouldn't say a word and would simply return it to make friends.

However, items that increase luck are rare to begin with, and the effect of the "Lucky Clown Card" is still subject to fluctuation. Its actual quality far exceeds that of "excellent quality," so it's impossible to simply give it up.

"I have no item with the same effect."

"Then I'll pay more for something even better," said the clown box.

Liu Zheng immediately said.

"Hmph, you're dreaming."

The clown box rolled its eyes at him.

"We're all collectors, bartering is perfectly normal. I have a lot of good stuff here, don't you want to take a look, Brother He?"

He tempted her.

"I'm the owner of the Bizarre Blind Box Shop now, not a collector. If you want it, I'll put that item in the prize pool, and if you can draw it, it's yours."

"The Clown Box said."

"The probability is too low, no way."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"I'll put it in a blind box every round. As long as you empty the prize pool for that round, you're guaranteed to get it. Is that alright?"

The clown box took a step back.

How many blind boxes are there in each round?

he asked.

"nine."

"Well, okay."

He said reluctantly.

"Then give me back the 'Lucky Joker' card now."

The clown box extends its hand, which is wearing a white glove.

"Can't I return it after I win it?"

"Do you think I'm doing charity? Letting you use my lucky items to open my blind boxes?"

The clown box stared wide-eyed.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng reluctantly returned the "Lucky Clown" card to it.

“My darling, you’re finally back with me.”

The clown box hugged the "Lucky Clown" card and vigorously rubbed its face against the card.

After lingering for a while, it took out a stack of playing cards from the box, inserted the "Lucky Joker" card, and the entire stack of cards immediately emitted a faint glow.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise. Do you want to spend 'meat' or extraordinary items to draw it?"

The clown box looked at his reluctant expression and said.

Can I pay for it?

Liu Zheng asked.

"No."

"Tch, then let's use extraordinary items."

He said.

He only has one piece of "meat" in his hand right now, which he needs to save for tomb raiding. He does have some extraordinary items left over.

"it is good."

Clown Box clapped his hands, and a gashapon machine immediately appeared on the wall.

The gashapon machine is a nine-compartment cabinet, with a black gashapon in each compartment.

"Place your extraordinary item into the slot below, and the machine will automatically determine the value of the extraordinary item and give you a corresponding number of chances to win a prize."

"Each round of the prize pool will definitely have a grand prize, and there may even be a super grand prize. The first draw costs one draw chance, the second draw costs two draw chances, and each subsequent draw costs the sum of the draw chances spent in the previous draws."

"Press the start button, and the colored indicator lights below the gashapon capsules will light up in a cycle. When you want to draw a particular gashapon capsule, just press the start button again when the colored indicator light is on that capsule."

"If you want to change the prize pool, press and hold the start button. But after changing the prize pool, your previous chances to win will be reset to zero."

The clown box explained the rules.

"What if you draw a gashapon capsule that has already been used?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Well, you're just unlucky then. The colored indicator lights don't move very fast, so if you still managed to draw the wrong one, it means you're not paying attention at all."

"The Clown Box said."

"Oh."

He gave a casual reply and then fell into thought.

According to the rules of the Clown Box, Liu Zheng would need 384 draws to empty the prize pool in one round.

This number sounds outrageous at first glance, but since Niu Ma specifically asked him to come to the Wonderful Blind Box House, it shouldn't be to scam him.

Probably.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and took out a piece of jelly from the system space.

Name: Colorful XX Jelly (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Minor restoration of physical strength."

"Effect 2: Improves sexual ability in a short period of time and increases the chances of pregnancy for the fertilized person (ineffective for individuals who are unable to conceive or for individuals of extremely difficult fertility, such as long-lived species)."

"Note: This amazing food, made with ingredients from hundreds of races, can not only give you and your partner a harmonious sex life, but also bring a newborn into your family (as long as you don't care who the biological father is)."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

The raw materials for this stuff are disgusting, and the effects are pretty useless. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be buried at the bottom of his drawer until he completely forgets about it. It's perfect for using it to open blind boxes.

Liu Zheng placed the "Colorful XX Jelly" into the groove at the bottom of the machine, and the baffle immediately flipped up and swallowed the item, while the counter next to the start button changed to "6".

Is this considered high-value or low-value?

he asked.

"Above average. Generally speaking, a superb item of excellent quality can only increase your chances of winning by a maximum of 10 draws."

"The Clown Box said."

"This thing is actually considered above average? How did you determine its value?"

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

A clown box with white gloves spread out.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng shrugged and pressed the start button.

These blind boxes all looked the same, so there was nothing to choose from. The colored indicator light flashed once, and he pressed the start button again, directly drawing the first gashapon.

The gashapon disappeared after being shaken twice, and when it reappeared in the slot, it had turned white.

What does "white gashapon" mean?

Liu Zheng asked.

"A consolation prize, I suppose."

"Ok."

It's a consolation prize, just consider it as eliminating a wrong option.

He twisted open the capsule toy, and inside was a slip of paper.

"Gained 100 points."

"Not bad, this is like the biggest consolation prize in the world. Do you want to redeem it now?"

The clown box saw this and asked.

"Let's talk about it after we finish smoking."

He pressed the start button again, this time a little slower, and drew the third gashapon capsule.

The gashapon appeared in the groove, and its shell turned green.

"what about this?"

"Small prizes offer a chance to recoup your losses."

"The Clown Box said."

"is it?"

Liu Zheng twisted open the capsule toy, and inside was another slip of paper.

"You will receive one chance to win a prize."

"See, we've broken even."

The clown box had a "I told you so" look on its face.

"It was clearly a loss."

He shook his head and pressed the start button again.

This time, he waited for the indicator light to complete a full circle before drawing, and then he drew the sixth gashapon capsule.

The gashapon appeared in the groove, and its shell turned purple.

"This is like winning the lottery. Unless you're extremely unlucky, you can basically break even."

Clown Box introduced itself.

"hope so."

Liu Zheng unscrewed the gashapon box, inside which was a model of a soldier wearing tactical uniform and holding a submachine gun.

Name: Little Rifleman (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After use, the little rifleman will gain the same intelligence and skills as a regular soldier, and will completely obey the player's orders. The equipment he wears will also function accordingly, but its power will be reduced proportionally. Duration: half an hour."

"Note: Although he was just a plastic toy, he was still a qualified soldier."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
