“There’s a bug in gacha draws too?!”
Looking at the pile of cards, Bai Yi’s mouth fell open in surprise, momentarily speechless.
He tentatively reached out and flipped over a card; good luck, purple light.
After seeing the glow emanating from beneath the card, Bai Yi covered it back up, not revealing what it was.
The card didn't disappear, nor did it automatically flip open. The table didn't vanish either, as if he had never lifted it.
“It’s real…”
Bai Yi stared at the scene in disbelief, a mix of surprise and astonishment intertwining in his heart.
“Holy crap! I’ve played gacha mobile games for so long, when have I ever encountered something like this!
If a gacha draw goes wrong, I can re-draw?!”
But after a moment of elation, Bai Yi calmed down and began to ponder:
“Will other people discover this bug? Is it possible they might report it?”
But almost immediately, Bai Yi dismissed this possibility.
At least in this world, there shouldn't be many people who can get this kind of unit pack or the chance to draw cards.
Jun Lin, who got the first tier one kill, most likely has it, and Anonymous might as well. Bai Yi hadn't heard any announcements about others, but he couldn't rule out other channels. Even if there were, there definitely wouldn't be many!
Moreover, normal card flipping is rarely like his, where he can lift a card, put it back without looking, and then go do something else.
So, it’s not impossible for others to discover it, but at least for now, Bai Yi should be the only one.
Even with the worst-case scenario, if someone really did discover it, no one would think of reporting this bug, because this is a stable source of golden items!
With a plan in mind, Bai Yi decided to first study this gacha system.
Bai Yi immediately lifted a small corner of all the cards, classifying them into piles by rarity based on the color of the light they emitted, and finally came to a conclusion:
Both piles of cards each had 50 cards. The advanced pack contained 2 gold cards, 8 purple cards, 15 blue cards, 15 green cards, and the remaining 10 were white cards.
The normal pack, however, only had 1 gold card, 4 purple cards, 10 blue cards, 15 green cards, and 20 white cards.
The probabilities seemed decent, at least much more reasonable than many gacha mobile games.
The necessary information had been compiled, so now it was time to gamble.
There was only one gold card for insect-type cards, so there was no need to overthink it. However, for plant cards, there were two gold cards, so he could only choose one.
Leaving it to fate, he casually picked up the left plant gold card and flipped it open along with the insect gold card.
Brilliant golden light pierced Bai Yi’s eyes from the card face. He felt a blur before his eyes, and the table and the remaining cards disappeared.
Thinking ‘as expected’ to himself, Bai Yi then became excited, waiting for the golden light to dissipate.
“Let me see, what are they~”
“You opened a Random Advanced Plant Unit Pack. You obtained 【Endless Moss Culture Dish】 (Tier 1/Gold).”
“You opened a Random Insect Unit Pack. You obtained 【Murderous Giant Bee Hive Blueprint】 (Tier 1/Gold).”
“Endless Moss (Tier 1/Gold): An extremely prolific moss that absorbs all nutrients it encounters to fuel its reproduction. It can absorb blood and meat to accelerate growth.”
“Low Consumption Mode: When unable to obtain nutrients, it will convert to low consumption mode, sustaining itself through photosynthesis.”
“Digestion Mode: Upon receiving fresh flesh and blood, it will secrete a special digestive fluid, converting the flesh and blood into stored nutrients.”
“Murderous Giant Bee Hive Blueprint (Tier 1/Gold): After learning, you can consume materials to create a 【Murderous Giant Bee Hive】. Required materials: Crystal Core (Tier 1) * 10, Honey * 50, Wood * 100, Stone * 50, Fresh Flesh and Blood * 50.”
“Murderous Giant Bee Hive (Tier 1/Gold): Can consume fresh flesh and blood to recruit (breed) 【Killer Giant Bee】 units. The hive comes with 1 Queen Bee and 5 Worker Bees. Recruitment cost: Fresh Flesh and Blood * 1, Honey * 1.”
After displaying their information, both cards dissipated. However, the card representing Endless Moss, after dissipating, left behind a transparent glass vessel containing a small patch of moss, which should be the so-called “Endless Moss.”
“Is this actually a physical item given directly?”
Bai Yi tried using his ability on it once and saw the genetic traits that could be extracted from this moss.
They were Photosynthesis, Acid Secretion, and Infinite Proliferation.
Although the main body didn't seem very useful and was hard to control, at least the genetic traits were indeed good.
Unfortunately, because he had read the genetic traits of several other mutated creatures on the way to find the Giant Tusked Pig earlier, his magic power had been exhausted.
At this moment, it had only barely recovered to 34 points, which was completely insufficient to extract genetic traits again, so he temporarily gave up.
“But this thing is too dangerous to leave out in the open. What if I accidentally damage it…”
Imagining the entire forest covered in moss, Bai Yi shivered.
“Can it be put into the panel?”
Bai Yi tried putting it into the inventory. This time, surprisingly, it succeeded on the first try, unlike the Giant Tusked Pig meat which couldn't be stored.
Having solved a major problem, Bai Yi began to think about his next plan.
The most important issues, of course, were food and water.
Although he had heard the sound of water at the edge of the forest today, if he went back, safety aside, raw water would also need to be boiled before drinking.
Otherwise, once he got sick, there were no hospitals or doctors here, and getting sick would mean waiting to die.
But to boil water, he currently had no pot and no fire, so he couldn't boil anything at all.
“For now, I can only see if I can exchange some of this meat for drinking water, and I also need to exchange for kindling and an iron pot.
Then I also need to exchange for some stone and wood, and acquire honey.
Sigh, the materials needed for rare units are so tricky. It’s fine that a lot of stone and wood are used, but it even requires Tier 1 Crystal Cores and honey!
Tsk, I hope that hive can produce its own honey in the future, otherwise, without a stable source, producing units will become a problem.
After buying everything, I’ll immediately build that Bloodthirsty Beetle nest.
My progress is a bit too slow now. Others might have already built their barracks and gone out to fight monsters. I also need to develop quickly and start farming soon.”
Having finalized his plan, Bai Yi immediately took action, opening the panel again and entering the Free Market.
He uploaded all 637 units of pork on the ground. Hmm, by now, the Giant Banyan had already secretly eaten another 7 units.
This time, it was still a tree root extending directly from the bottom of the carcass. Not until Bai Yi wiped his hand over the wild boar carcass and uploaded it to the market did that small root still sway, seemingly not having reacted.
Then Bai Yi separated 10 units of his pork, selling each unit individually, and set up the transaction information:
“【Selling Fresh Flesh and Blood * 1, Price: Wood * 20 / Stone * 40 / Honey * 1】”
Before, Bai Yi had only been in a hurry to store the meat and hadn't noticed that when uploaded, the pork was automatically categorized, with the internal organs separated, and each part counted as a separate transaction.
Moreover, when selling, he could also set the name of the traded item, but it couldn't deviate too much. For example, this pork couldn't be renamed beef, but it could be called raw bacon.
With this function at hand, Bai Yi conveniently used it, removing information that could easily expose him, like “Giant Tusked Pig meat,” and changing it to “Fresh Flesh and Blood.”
But Bai Yi didn't list it directly. Instead, he first clicked into the channel.
Bai Yi was preparing to give himself a GG.
