Apocalypse: System of lotteries



"You finally showed up!"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ming glanced at the Phantom Dancer zombie rushing towards him.

[Jenna Kardashian]

[Five-Star Lord Phantom Dancer]

[Skill: Ballet of War, skill cooldown time reduced by 20%]

[Weakness: She also has a blood disaster]

"Tsk~" Ming sneered, he intended to bridge her into a puppet, how could he possibly hurt her?

Whoosh! Zombie Jenna raised her blade to slash!

Dodge!

Crack! Zombie Jenna was slapped to the ground by the bear's paw, her left leg broken!

"…"

The weakness detection was quite accurate… But why did it feel like the weakness detection was being somewhat unprofessional, getting into the fortune-telling business? Are you planning to change careers?

"Broken leg~ What a pity~" Ming rubbed the bear's paw, fortunately, the paw was fine. But, this Phantom Dancer zombie was the best he had encountered after searching for so long. How could she dance with a broken leg? No, he had to think of a way to remedy the situation.

"Right, the apocalypse store sells puppet repair cards!"

Ming remembered that these puppet repair cards could repair zombies as long as they hadn't suffered huge damage. A broken leg should be repairable.

Ming opened the apocalypse store.

[Hey! Your usage privileges have been restricted]

"Damn it!"

"…"

"I forgot about that."

"Since that's the case!"

Ming squatted down, took out a wooden board, and adjusted it to the appropriate length. He made a splint and securely tied it to Zombie Jenna's leg before establishing a bridge connection.

— Bridge connection successful.

"Stand up~ Walk a few steps~"

Ming helped Zombie Jenna up and had her walk a few steps. If she were human, she would definitely not be able to stand or take a step with a freshly broken leg. But zombies can, even though their walk is wobbly, it doesn't affect their dancing.

A minute later, Ming felt the Ballet of War buff from his new puppet Zombie Jenna, with all skill cooldown times reduced by 20%.

After dancing, Zombie Jenna collapsed on the ground, probably exhausted. However, Ming couldn't possibly carry her, and the bear couldn't either.

Ming looked at the Sacred Song Zombie Annie, "You want to carry her, don't you? Good, it's rare for someone to be so proactive in our house."

Zombie Annie, open her lifeless eyes.

[Your frogs exchange glances and then look at the giant porcupine. They feel they should do something... To make friends, the frogs enter a mysterious communication with the porcupine...]

"Still haven't dealt with that pig?"

"You two are quite inefficient. Have you become lazy because of the good food recently?"

Ming suddenly felt discomfort in his left hand. The negative symptoms of clenching his fist for a long time had appeared. If he kept holding on like this, this hand might be useless. 

23000 gold coins compared to a left hand, the hand is definitely more important.

"Let's do it!"

Ming gritted his teeth and reluctantly straightened his left pinky finger.

Silence...

Faint breathing...

Rapid heartbeat...

The skill was still there! There were indeed loopholes to exploit. The set instructions for the five rings only mentioned that the attributes would disappear when the fist was released, but it didn't say that a single finger couldn't be released. It seemed that it was possible.

"What if I extend two fingers?" Ming shook his head, better be cautious.

[Your frogs squat in front of the giant porcupine. Foodie asks the  'Arsenal' if it's sick, and the reply is no... Foodie doesn't believe it. With bone spurs growing outside its body, if it still thinks it's not sick... then its brain...]

[Foodie gets the 'Arsenal''s response that porcupines in their family have had bone spurs for generations... Foodie tells Da Vinci that they all have hereditary bone spur issues...]

[Da Vinci pats Foodie for being impolite... It looks up at the porcupine and asks if it wants to be cured...]

[Your frogs have an in-depth exchange with  'Arsenal' and find out that those bone spurs are weapons... Foodie doesn't believe it, looks at the porcupine, and challenges it to prove it...  'Arsenal' shoots a bone spur that pierces the chest of a wandering zombie...]

[Da Vinci and Foodie exchange glances and silently retreat a short distance...]

Ming stretched out his left middle finger, feeling comfortable. Then, he closed it and stretched out his index finger, bending down to give a prescription to a zombie with all four limbs broken, "Pity me, give me a dollar~"

[Skill activated, effect failed, the zombie thinks you're clueless...]

"Give me money!" Ming closed his index finger and raised his thumb, this single-finger movement was not as comfortable as opening the whole palm, but he was still poor and needed to save money.

[Skill activated, received 3500]

Ding~ Received 3500.

"You're so rich, and you're still haggling over a dollar with me." Ming took out a broken bowl, "Give me money, or you'll have a bloody disaster."

[Your frogs squat near the porcupine's feet, rubbing its big paw, "You're amazing! We just didn't see it clearly just now. Do it again..." The porcupine shoots another bone spur, piercing a zombie's head...]

[Your frogs applaud, "You're really amazing!" Foodie tells the porcupine, "That zombie in the white coat over there, I've been tolerating it for a long time..." Da Vinci tells the porcupine not to shoot the head, as it's too disgusting...  'Arsenal' shoots a bone spur, hitting the white-coated zombie squarely, and the zombie is pinned to a large tree by the enormous force of the bone spur... startling a flock of birds...]

[Your frogs exchange glances, their eyes full of excitement. They simultaneously point to the sky, " 'Arsenal', zombies are too big of a target, try shooting a bird..."]

"Hehe~" Ming squats on the ground, biting into fruit and laughing. Based on the development trend of these two, there's no need to worry about this porcupine boss.

[Your Foodie encourages  'Arsenal', "Shoot again, you'll definitely hit it..." The porcupine does so but misses... Foodie deflates, "You're not accurate at all..."]

[Da Vinci pats Foodie, and tells it not to speak so harshly about 'Arsenal'. Birds are small and high in the sky, so the difficulty is indeed great. They just need to find the right method... Foodie doesn't believe  'Arsenal' can hit it...  'Arsenal' looks at Da Vinci, "Teach me..."]

[Your Da Vinci tells 'Arsenal', "You have so many bone spurs, just shoot them all at once, and you'll definitely bring down a bird..." Foodie sticks out its tongue, choosing not to believe that  'Arsenal'can do it... The porcupine roars turns its back to the sky, and fires a barrage of bone spurs...]

[Your frogs exchange glances, " You did it, we can have bird meat tonight..." They look at the now bone spur-less giant porcupine, "You're a poor pig now..."]

"..."

Ming laughs as his shoulders shake, never imagining that the five-star king porcupine would strip off its defensive coat like this.

Good boys~

[Your frogs watch the falling bone spurs, some of which pierced the brains of wandering zombies in the distance. They feel they've done a good deed, indirectly helping you kill more than a dozen zombies... They don't need your thanks, this is what they should do...]

"..."

Ming's smile disappears, clutching his chest, more than 30,000 gold coins... are gone~
