Apocalypse: System of lotteries



The young man in crocodile skin clothes, breathing in the mountain air, looked around at the majestic mountains. In front of him was a stone stairway leading to the top of the mountain, extending upwards and disappearing into the dense forest.

"Go on, let's check out the surroundings first."

He squatted down and placed three frogs on the ground in order. After kissing the last one, he sat down on the ground and shook his head.

"This poison is too ~"

"Huh~"

Ming shook his head violently to clear his mind. He wasn't too worried about what would happen after being poisoned now, because his ability to adapt to toxins was getting stronger and the negative effects of poisoning were getting shorter.

From an entire night to a few hours, then to several minutes, now it takes only 3 minutes to adapt to new toxins.

Checking the requirements of the instance:

[1, Kill the final BOSS, Lewd Monk]

[2, Kill all the zombies in the instance]

[3, Find a seashell fossil]

[4, The instance lasts for 24 hours]

[Friendly reminder: If you cannot complete the above task objectives within the specified time, you will be permanently stuck in this instance, and this instance will be permanently closed. It's pretty nice to be a monk too, right?~]

"…"

After reading the instance requirements, Ming sat at the foot of the mountain pondering a question, why is the rule targeting him? Is it afraid that he's too powerful and poses a threat to it? That shouldn't be the case, right?

It can control the apocalypse, so why would it be afraid of a tiny human like me?

If it's really afraid, does it mean it also has a physical form? Has great power but is subject to some restrictions?

But why doesn't it directly create a super-invincible zombie?

If that were the case, I certainly wouldn't be able to handle it. So, is it a contradiction?

That's just crazy~

Don't think about it anymore, just get through here and leave. From now on, I absolutely won't open any kind of treasure box.

No, others can open it for me.

[Your froglets hopped step by step up the stairs, finally reaching a flat platform. They lay there to rest, seeing a bald zombie swinging a broom aimlessly in place...]

[Da Vinci tells Foodie and Merlin, this is a monk. Our ancestor once said it was once a monk... Because that guy didn't get married and didn't allow him to get married either, so our ancestor only followed him for one day, leaving him a Toad Heavenly Book...]

[Foodie blinked, turned his head to look at you at the foot of the mountain, Ming, don't be a monk... If you want to be single, I still want to find a wife~]

"~"

Ming looked up at the peak of the mountain, where amidst the clouds and mists, he could vaguely see the shadow of a building.

Lewd Monk? Is this monk fake? Not only deceiving for money but also deceiving people's hearts, such a scum~

Coming back to his senses, theoretically speaking, monks are more commonly found in Asia, so it's very likely that this place is in Thailand or China.

Go up the mountain!

[Your Foodie stepped forward, bumping the zombie causing it to stumble, croaking~ Do you have any treasures here? Valuable, shiny ones... The zombie seemed quite at a loss and didn't respond... Foodie looked back at Da Vinci, it's over, this is a poor temple~]

[Da Vinci thought the broom in the zombie's hand looked quite sturdy. It moved its heart of care, used its collectability on the broom, and it successfully... It was thinking, with such a good broom, Wendy should be able to do housework at ease, work hard, one day you will move Ming...]

[Merlin looked at Da Vinci and shook his head, there is no future between a zombie and a person...~]

"~"

Ming couldn't figure out why he had to find a fossil of a seashell, which didn't seem to have anything to do with this instance, right?

Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this?

With such a big mountain, such a range, where should he go to find it?

[Your froglets finally hopped to the temple gate, they swore they will never climb a mountain again, their four legs are already trembling... Foodie looked at the two shining gold statues on either side of the gate, one with its mouth open and one with its mouth closed, both wearing golden armor and holding vajra maces, and with big round eyes...]

[Merlin tells Foodie, these are King Kong, legends say they were once very good at bluffing, thinking about ending the world, they became gatekeepers~]

[Foodie looked at the shining golden statue, hopped up to it, and used its retrieval ability on the vajra mace in its hand, successfully retrieving it... It knew that only this rod on the statue was made of real gold, the rest was just broken stone coated with a layer of gold paint, in the face of identifying shiny gold materials, it felt sad...]

"~"

This seems to be a character from some story, who can snort out two beams of white light that can capture people's souls, and with a big mouth can exhale a puff of yellow gas that disperses people's souls. They're all just myths and stories, but how are they related to your ancestor? Your froglets' world is really magical~

[Your froglets stopped looking at the statue and hopped into the temple gate. They saw a tall and large incense burner filled with ashes and broken candles... Once inside the mountain gate, there was a bell tower on the left and a drum tower on the right...]

[The froglets passed the incense burner and hopped into the first main hall, the Hall of Heavenly Kings... They saw a big-bellied, laughing statue sitting in the middle of the hall... Foodie looked at the statue and asked Da Vinci, doesn't that look like our ancestor?]

[Da Vinci stuck out its tongue, not at all, this guy is not one-legged~]

[Foodie looked at the four Heavenly Kings statues on both sides, all made of clay, and couldn't muster any interest...]

Whoosh~

A crossbow arrow shot through the head of the 'sweeping monk' zombie.

Humming~~~ in the three erected beams of white light, there is also a conspicuous purple light.

"Huh~ normal zombies also drop purple light?"

Ming continued walking up the steps after collecting the light column while checking the purple card that just dropped:

[Talent: I'm Really Good at Sweeping]

[After learning, really good at sweeping...]

"This?"

Broom + sweeping skill... okay~ Wendy has a housekeeping set now, this... really is all arranged by fate.

[Your froglets left the Hall of Heavenly Kings, wandered around in the monks' rooms, incense storage rooms, and other rooms on the east side, and found some zombies... The froglets went to the rooms on the west side, and did not find any zombies...]

[The froglets passed through the Hall of Heavenly Kings and came to the main hall. Inside was a towering giant Buddha statue, they weren't interested in it, because whenever they wanted to pray, they would silently chant their ancestor's name~]

[The froglets came to the backyard and found it was full of fruits and vegetables, but also a lot of weeds, probably because no one had cleaned it for a long time, there was also a clear small pond, the froglets looked at each other, let's go play in the water~]

[Your Merlin watched as the carefree Da Vinci and Foodie jumped into the pond. It shook its head, they're really a pair of immature froglets... Merlin felt a strong presence, it looked towards a room on the side, and hopped over~]

[Merlin peeked into the room through the crack in the door, hmm, it was a powerful zombie~]
