Apocalypse: System of lotteries



Ming glanced around as he landed, realizing that he was in a desolate land of scattered rocks. Sparse weeds were struggling to grow in the gaps between the stones. Not far to the north, there was a forest of strange and rugged trees.

[Your da Vinci and foodie jumped down to the ground. They were patted on the head and fed fish by you, then they hopped away quickly. Foodie told da Vinci about a nice dream it had last night.]

[Your da Vinci was not surprised. It knew that foodie's nice dreams were basically about food. It was actually thinking of bringing back some plants for Merlin to study.]

[Your foodie saw a black snake coiled in front of it. It hopped over and asked if the snake was poisonous. The snake nodded, and the foodie collected it successfully, then continued to look for the next one.]

"That's great~"

Ming smiled. This was a good start. It seemed that there were still many ordinary creatures in this place. They all needed a warm home.

He opened the screen to check the task information for this place:

[Task Requirements:]

[There is only one requirement: either submit to the 'god' of this place or kill it and leave.]

[Note: The time limit for this area is 72 hours. If you fail to leave within the specified time, you will stay here forever.]

[Note: Map function is off.]

[Note: Your number in this area is 01.]

[Kind Reminder: The chat function in this area is free of charge.]

"Free?"

This function is good. Immediately, he edited a message and sent it.

[01: Our company is expanding rapidly. We sincerely invite people of insight to join our Gutman Group and embrace a bright future together. We offer accommodation, a high salary, good benefits, and afternoon tea. Also, we have beautiful female managers~]

[…]

This opportunity to advertise for free must be grabbed, and the content of the recruitment information is also very real, such as a beautiful female manager, Clos.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the replies. With the prestigious name of Gutman, he was sure to attract people.

[…]

"Huh?"

Ming frowned, staring at the chat window on the screen. Why hadn't anyone replied? Was the brand not working?

"That's not right~"

Ming looked around... Could it be that he was the only one who came here? The team, one person, was just him?

Heh~

[Your frogs entered the forest, hoping to find poisonous mushrooms there. Merlin would certainly love that.]

[Your foodie charged up to a yellow snake and asked, "Snake, are you poisonous?" The yellow snake raised its head, "I'm a python." Foodie activated its ability to collect, successfully. It thought there was no difference between a python and a snake, as long as they were edible.]

"Very reasonable~"

Ming received Foodie's mental activity and felt that it was not wrong. At the same time, he sent another recruitment ad.

As expected, no one replied. It was certain that he was the only person in this area. He gave the sky the middle finger, accusing it of fooling with him again.

[Your da Vinci saw another snake in front of it. It nudged Foodie, who rushed up and stopped in front of the snake, activating its collection ability. The collection was successful. This time it didn't ask the snake any questions because it was too troublesome.]

[Your da Vinci saw a mushroom with a white stem and a cap decorated with red and blue dots. It was delightful. Foodie appeared quickly, staring at the mushroom. It told da Vinci that it had been missing the Smurfs lately and wanted to see them.]

"~~"

Ming stood outside the forest, skewering a black snake with one stab. He threaded it onto a string and hung it on his left arm. There were already eight snakes on the string, which proved that there was plenty of food there. Then, he summoned the spirit giant eagle, which grabbed his shoulder and lifted him into the air to survey the surroundings.

From a high altitude, he could see most of the area here. Only the place where he landed was a small piece of wasteland, the rest was covered with forest.

[Da Vinci watched as Foodie licked the mushroom, waiting... Foodie turned its eyes to Da Vinci, "Why isn't there any reaction? I don't feel high, and I haven't seen a single Smurf~"]

[Da Vinci patted Foodie, "Why don't you try swallowing the whole mushroom?" Foodie's eyes lit up, "Da Vinci is really smart~"]

[Your Foodie swallowed the mushroom in one gulp, waiting... It turned to Da Vinci, "I haven't seen any Smurfs, but my stomach is full~" Foodie burped, feeling that the mushroom was quite filling.]

"What a silly dumn~"

This time, Ming wasn't anxious at all, after all, they had the poison resistance granted by Merlin, which made them immune to such toxins. In the future, it would be difficult for Foodie to get poisoned.

[Your Foodie understands that this mushroom is not poisonous~]

[Da Vinci thinks that should be the case~ Bring it back for Ming to cook something delicious, and also let Clos have a taste~]

[Your frogs continue to move forward, leaving the mushrooms for you to pick~]

"Heh~"

Ming landed back on the ground, and walked into the forest, following the two frogs from a distance while picking mushrooms. Since the whole family was immune to toxins, these mushrooms shouldn't go to waste. Taking them back to cook a pot of stew could provide a meal.

Not afraid of poison, then eat it. It's quite reasonable. Mushrooms are so delicious, it's hard to resist the temptation~ Finally, he can eat mushrooms as he wishes, without worrying about poisoning.

Recipe +1.

[Your frogs hopped forward and saw a snake running fast. Foodie activated its battle heart, charged, blocked the snake's path, and asked the trembling snake, "Why did you run when you saw me? Can't you even say hello?" The snake lowered its head, "I dare not, I'm afraid of disappearing~"]

[Your Da Vinci passed by, took a glance at the snake, and asked it if there were any treasures here, shiny, beautiful, special~ The snake turned its head, looked deep into the forest, "There is what you described, with eyes emitting golden light, a beautiful figure, very special~"]

[Da Vinci understood, so it turns out that Ming's wife lives deep in the forest~]

"~~"

If Da Vinci's statement was correct, Ming might have wives all over the world and have been all types...Hmm? Wife? Could it be the 'god' of this place?

Ming then hung two strings of snakes on his left arm, carried several strings of mushrooms in his right hand, and moved toward the depths of the forest.

[Your Foodie asked the snake to lead the way, moving toward the depths of the forest~]

[Your frogs are eager to meet your wife, they don't stop along the way. Soon, they see a ruined temple covered with giant trees in front of them. Foodie looks at the snake, the snake nods to confirm it is the place, and asks, "Can I go now~"]

[Your Foodie absorbed the snake, successfully~ There's never any food that can escape from me~]

[Your frogs enter the ruined temple, they see a snake body coiled into a large disk. Foodie is excited, "This thick and strong snake, even if I waste it, I can eat it for a long time~"]

[Your Da Vinci follows the snake's body to look forward, the upper part of the snake's body is a woman. Although her figure is slender, unfortunately, she is only half of it, not suitable to be Ming's wife~ Foodie looks at the woman's hair of little snakes, thinking, "If her hair can regenerate, when I am hungry, I can pull a snake to eat, and then it can grow another one... Isn't that a walking granary~"]

"!!"

Ming's eyes light up, Foodie is right~ This silly dump has grown up~
