The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

"So how do you use this thing?"

Li Can took out a vial of medicine from his suitcase and silently shook it in the sunlight.

"Why don't we just give it to her and see?" he thought to himself, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

The person has been dead for quite some time, so they can't drink anything now, and it might just be a waste of a vial.

After thinking it over, Li Can went out to look for a syringe. It was better to be safe than sorry; he had seen zombie movies where they did it this way.

If you ask what a hospital has in abundance, it's these things.

He carefully opened the cap of the [Resurrection] potion, and the syringe successfully drew out the bright blue solution inside.

"Excuse me, Teacher Lin." As he spoke, he carefully searched for a suitable spot to stab her body.

Ultimately, having exhausted all other options, he injected the medication into the artery in her arm.

Although it's described as a blood vessel location, he can only actually pierce her flesh right now.

"..."

Time ticked by, and Li Can eagerly awaited Lin Wanyan's miraculous awakening.

But almost five minutes passed and she still didn't make a sound.

Li Can's patience, which had initially been filled with anticipation, turned into deep disappointment.

"Dr. Fang, is this really crucial evidence...?" Unfortunately, Fang Yi couldn't answer Li Can's question.

He looked at the two motionless corpses and finally had no choice, after all, this thing wasn't something he had researched.

He had only managed to get the potion by sheer luck at the end; if it were a real "Resurrection" potion, he was thinking about whether he could take it out of the game and keep it to save his life.

Now that's settled, Li Can has also put his wandering thoughts back on track. He was initially worried that it might be fake, but after the experiment, it turned out to be useless.

Fortunately, I've now completely mastered the puzzles of the dungeon game.

Even though Li Can was a little disappointed about this, she didn't dwell on it for long before she pulled herself out of it.

"Then let's take advantage of this rare quiet moment to do some research..." he muttered to himself, locking the office door from the inside.

He then sat down opposite the two corpses, leaning his back against the wooden leg of the office desk.

Li Can focused his mind and activated the three gashapon machines in his mind.

At this moment, in this empty white space, in addition to the machine that always stood on the ground, an electronic display counter appeared out of nowhere.

Upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's actually an LCD screen that allows you to slide to view numerical values.

Li Can had been busy for most of the day, and could only check the time in these short gaps.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had observed the consciousness space so carefully.

At this moment, he was very curious about what specific troubles had occurred to his gashapon machine after the battle with the monster who was suspected to be the dean.

[Current near-death value: 1400]

"Yes, I remember the pop-up message box said 2400."

Since he had already drawn 1000 points from the superpower gacha, he now only had 1400 points left. Li Can planned to use another chance to draw more superpower gacha eggs.

Judging from the recent battles, my own strength is really too weak. I have been relying on puppets and the like. Although they are powerful weapons for long-range attacks, they are full of loopholes in close combat.

I am the biggest weakness.

Thinking of this, Li Can did not hesitate to use 1000 near-death points and directly recharge them into the superpower gashapon machine.

"Snap!" He slammed a button in his consciousness space.

The sphere immediately began to rotate.

This is an old cutscene... Every time Li Can draws a prize in front of his gashapon machine, he feels that his cheat ability is a bit strange and unreliable.

An oval-shaped capsule toy fell smoothly from the machine's storage compartment.

Li Can twisted it open and took a look, and his heart skipped a beat.

[Wishing in the opposite direction can come true]

[I wish I could be the richest person in the world! Ding dong, congratulations! Your wish has come true. You are now the poorest person in debt! This is the power of making a wish. Are you ready? 3 uses remaining.]

As soon as this superpower was activated from the gashapon, a golden light flashed and entered Li Can's body.

He was jolted awake by the sudden chill.

"Get your big chicken leg ready!" Li Can's face darkened, and he was completely exasperated.

It's like fate is playing tricks on a kitten. First, Fang Yi tricked him into believing he had crucial evidence, but it turned out to be a fake "resurrection" potion.

Then, even his own gashapon machine lied to him, saying that it was worth 1000 points of near-death value, points he had only obtained after nearly dying on the brink of death.

And now they've pulled out something like this for themselves. What does it mean to make a wish come true in reverse? It's too incredible.

Li Can felt like he was about to vomit blood uncontrollably from his throat again.

"It hurts so much. Can't a person who is about to die from anger be considered to be near death? ... Dying from anger is also a way of dying."

Fine, if it's a case of the opposite coming true, then so be it. As the old saying goes, since we're already here and we've already pulled it out, can we really put the egg back in?

If you make a wish that's ridiculous and outrageous enough, then looking at it from another perspective, isn't that a positive wish that's 100% guaranteed to come true?

Thinking of this, Li Can felt a little better, but then he saw that he only had three chances and his liver was still hurting.

The [Diamond Shield Power is mutual] at least gives you 10 chances, so why does this wish only give you 3 chances?

They're getting more and more stingy.

Li Can frantically slapped the gashapon machine in his consciousness space, feeling that his machine was simply a swindler.

Seeing that he had spent another -1000 points on near-death value on the screen, he only had 400 points left.

These were not enough for him to draw another superpower egg, so Li Can had to turn his attention to other gashapon machines.

"Use 300 points to draw 3 resource eggs, and you can use the remaining 100 points to draw 10 puppet eggs..."

Actually, he had his reasons for allocating it this way.

After all, the 12 puppet eggs he drew last time were all empty shells.

He didn't expect the mechanism of being able to draw a prize once at 10 o'clock to give him anything good from the puppet gashapon machine.

He has come to a deep understanding of the shady dealings behind the "lottery"—it's gambling, it's fraud—and he is determined to stay away from gambling and drugs from now on.

As for drawing supply eggs three more times, he had his reasons. The gasoline and first-aid kit he got last time were indeed a great help.

Even that cell phone, which could explode at any moment, was secretly used by him to record some audio.

"Come on." Li Can gathered his thoughts and went all in, slapping all 300 points of near-death value onto the resource gacha machine button.

"Snap." With a single slap, the machine started operating.

Then, three eggs fell one after another from the hatch.

Li Can, as if it were a bountiful harvest, happily went to pick them up.

Who says this lottery is bad? This is really interesting! It's all unknown eggs, and you open one without even knowing what's going on.

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Li Can shakily twisted the first gashapon capsule containing supplies from side to side.

A lamb in wolf's clothing

As you can see, this is a wolf pelt. Once you put it on, you'll be the smartest little lamb, and all the wolves will think you're one of their own. Before using this wolf pelt, please sincerely recite the incantation: Awoo awoo awoo~

Li Can held the soft, dark gray animal fur in his hands and froze on the spot.

"...Do you really have to recite such a shameful incantation...?"
