Apocalypse: System of lotteries

[Your Da Vinci pats Foodie, telling it that the honey is for Little Bear, and it shouldn't lick... Foodie looks at Little Bear, leaving some honey for Da Vinci to taste... Little Bear sticks out its tongue and licks a bit of honey, and the honey is gone... Little Bear shows a sorry expression...]

[Foodie doesn't get angry and looks back at the squirrel with its legs up in the air and a big bump on its head... It tells Little Bear it's okay, they'll let the squirrel go again when it gets better...]

[Da Vinci pats Foodie, suggesting that the squirrel should rest for a while... The bee larvae also need honey, so they will let the squirrel go when there is more honey... Foodie agrees and sees Little Bill sneak back home... Foodie activates their Temptation talent...]

"Swollen again?" Ming feels sorry for the squirrel, thinking it had grown up but ended up being fooled into stealing honey again. Now, it has been stung once more.

He immediately speeds up his journey home. This time, the squirrel only has one bump from the sting, so it's not a big issue.

In the well city.

Hawkins stands on the city wall, looking around with a somewhat disappointed expression.

David approaches and pats his shoulder, "We killed the shared boss easily for the fourth time, why don't you look happy?"

Hawkins gazes into the distance, "Gutmann said he'd invite me to his house as a guest tonight, but now he's gone missing again."

"This matter... maybe he forgot what he said."

David turns to leave, but before he goes, he says, "Or... he's just teasing you~"

"…"

Hawkins looks at David, "The zone's treasury needs some money, you received 10,334 gold coins today, right?"

"You... what are you up to?"

"Come on, leave Gutman and Mike's share for them, and hand over the rest. Don't forget, you've signed the 109th Zone Defense Pact."

"You'd better spend less time with Gutmann in the future; you're not so innocent anymore, you know?"

Ding~ Dong~

The two of them complete the transaction.

At that moment, a commotion arises at the eastern wall. Both of them look over and see a crowd surrounding a giant pillar made of an unknown material, with a golden statue of a running figure at the top.

"Damn, this trophy's BUFF actually applies to the entire zone!"

"Reducing the skill cooldown time for all survivors in the zone by 5%! That's powerful!"

"And another one... Increase movement speed for all survivors in the zone by 5%... That's pretty strong too!"

"This BUFF, one short and one fast~"

"…"

"Start contacting people from Zone 31, we have a tight schedule of three days." Hawkins heads towards the Speed Cup.

"I got it. Leave the business stuff to me, and rest assured." David leans casually against the wall, tapping on the private chat channel. Then, he hangs a small notebook in the auction house with a price tag of 32,000, revealing a cunning merchant's smile...

...

In the wilderness, Shanye reads through the small notebook.

It's marked with:

[Ming: Level 37 - Puppeteer]

[Physique: 200]

[Strength: 400]

[Agility: 300]

[Spirit: 800]

[Talent: God-level Spirit]

[Talent: God of Loopholes]

[Skill: Spirit of Forging]

[Skill: ...]

"…"

Shayne closes the small notebook, looking at the intelligence chief in front of him, "Are you sure this information is true?"

"Yes, I am certain. This is the result of my investigation of various sources. Before trading with that guy, I've communicated with many people and gathered information from other places, which is more or less the same."

"Alright."

Shayne gestures to the intelligence chief, who kneels and approaches him.

Plop! The intelligence chief's head falls to the ground as Shanye retracts his short blade, "32,000 gold coins, and you dare to charge me 65,000?"

...

At the same time, David sends private messages to dozens of people, all with the same copied and pasted content:[Thanks to help me deceive that bastard, he finally bought it. Not much money, only 5,000 gold coins. I'll give you 100 each, don't think it's too little. Let's continue to cooperate and make big money in the future.]

...

[Your frogs see you return and bounce to you, telling you that the squirrel doesn't learn its lesson, wanting to eat honey and getting stung, and then went again today, getting stung again... The bear cub sees you, pounces, and extends its paw to hold your left hand...]

[Da Vinci wants to tell you that it's not just the squirrel's fault, your frogs are also responsible for not properly advising it... which led to the squirrel's downfall... The squirrel, lying on its back, tries to flip over... it wants to fight...]

"…"

Ming takes out an ointment and gently massages the squirrel, glancing at the two frogs. If it weren't for receiving messages, he might have believed their lies.

You two are self-taught when it comes to lying. At this moment, Little Bill rushes out of the beehive with a piece of honeycomb in its mouth, chased by a swarm of large bees...

[Your frogs watch Little Bill run out, then turn their heads to look at you, Ming. It's hard to believe, but Little Bill doesn't listen to advice either...]

[Da Vinci rolls his eyes, wanting to tell you that it's the rat's nature. Actually, he noticed long ago that Little Bill is not a good thing... Foodie nods, agreeing with Da Vinci...]

[Your frogs watch Little Bill run over, croaking... Stupid, there's a hole over there, go in... Little Bill crawls into the hole... The bees enter one by one... Your frogs look at you, and you also see that Little Bill is a foolish thief... The evidence is irrefutable...]

"…"

Ming picks up the two frogs, raises his hand, and throws them onto the rooftop pond, takes out the ointment again, and gets ready to massage Little Bill. Hopefully, it still has the strength to crawl out... Whether it's a thief or not, there's no evidence to prove... but from what just happened, it really is foolish...

However, Little Bill still has its uses, as its family status is higher than that of a snail.

The bear cub rubs against you, glances at the zombie corpses in the distance, and Ming massages its lowered head, "Your family status is now below foodie."

Roar! The bear cub roars

[The frogs lying on the roof tell you not to be afraid, the bear cub is saying it's very happy... Your frogs think that Ming's hand should behave, after all, that's their sister...]

[Foodie looks at the squirrel, which has recovered and climbed back up the coconut tree. Just now, you wanted to fight me, right...? Da Vinci pats Foodie, we're all family... go easy on it...]

5 minutes later, Ming has the bear cub dig out Little Bill and throws the tailless, half-dead bees onto the spider web. This serves as a reward for the spider, whose web was very useful today.

After applying the ointment to Little Bill, Ming looks at the messy spider webs around him and feels sorry for the little spider. It took a lot of effort to spin webs all over the mountain.

This time, a large part of it was destroyed by the ninja zombies. However, is the resilience of the spider's web really that good?

Ming casually pulls off a piece of the freshly made spider web, and rubs it into a rope... tugging... the resilience is indeed strong, but a single strand of spider silk is still easy to break. The little spider's family status is once again promoted, surpassing Da Bai, and closely following the earthworms.

Based on its growth rate, one day it will surpass the earthworms. Ming massages the bear cub's head, holding the soft bear paw as they head toward the beehive.
