And yet, besides that, the Beta-type Hunters still didn’t drop any treasure boxes this time either. How should I put it? It’s still within the realm of normal, I guess.
Although Zhang Yanhang had already killed eleven Beta-type Hunters in the slot machine’s reward pool, he hadn’t obtained a single treasure box. But occasionally it’s just . He often encounters situations where he kills twenty or thirty zombies without any treasure boxes dropping. Compared with that, killing eleven monsters without a drop could only be considered a minor event.
Therefore, facing this situation, Zhang Yanhang was quite calm. After all, it was only a matter of time. It wasn’t possible never to have a treasure box drop, it was just that the number of killings was temporarily insufficient. As long as there were enough kills, the ultimate drop rate would definitely balance out.
After clearing out the one hundred monsters in the slot machine reward pool, Zhang Yanhang silently carried the slot machine back to unit 301. Although Raccoon City was now cleared by him, and the slot machine wouldn’t be haphazardly carried off by the monsters even if left outside,
But what if an Awakener, bizarrely from some other place, carried off the slot machine after Zhang Yanhang left?
Although the chance of this happening was very slim, it wasn’t impossible. So, to reduce the likelihood of this event, Zhang Yanhang still chose to cautiously carry the slot machine back to unit 301.
That way, at least there would be some barrier. If this random Awakener didn’t have the same Perception ability as him, they certainly wouldn’t expect a seemingly ordinary apartment, indistinct from its surrounding buildings, to hide a Lucky Slot Machine in one of its rooms.
Of course, if they didn’t have an ability like Zhang Yanhang’s Multiple Choice, carrying off the slot machine would be useless. The person who carried it away would surely hit a lot of ’Thank you for playing’ and a few First Tier Zero Star ordinary zombies, then lose everything. That’s the right way to use a slot machine.
Zhang Yanhang’s situation, where the entire list of prizes spread out before his eyes and he could choose whatever he wanted, was plain cheating.
Having carried the slot machine back to unit 301, Zhang Yanhang put it down on the ground and then just collapsed onto the old wooden bed, motionless. Exhausted and having insisted on clearing out the slot machine, he had truly reached his limit and automatically entered sleep as soon as his eyes closed.
But he had only been asleep for a few minutes when he was awakened by the Multiple Choice option that triggered automatically.
[Do you want to return to the Main World?]
[Option One: Yes (Immediately return to the bedroom in room 505, Xingfu District, Qin Island City, in the Main World. Take a short nap to regain some Physical Strength, and after waking up, you feel that you should enjoy a delicious breakfast to fill your empty stomach. After breakfast, you head to school as usual.)] Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
[Option Two: No (Even though the portal from the Main World to Ashen World is about to close, you suddenly lose interest in returning to the Main World. Thus, you decide to forego the return and feel you can squeeze more potential out of yourself. After resting on the old wooden bed in unit 301 for a while, you immediately begin your hunting journey in Ashen World again.)]
[Option Three: Indolent Life (Although you chose to return immediately to the bedroom in room 505, Xingfu District, Qin Island City, you instantly fell asleep as soon as you lay down in bed and slept for a whole day straight. The next morning, you were forced to wake up due to hunger. After hastily ordering some takeout and taking a few bites, you went back to sleep. After skipping classes for two consecutive days, your academic advisor and head teacher began to call, worried about whether you had encountered any accidents in your Cultivation.)]
"This third option has me sleeping for two whole days? Isn’t that a bit much? Wasn’t it just a continuous killing spree of monsters for 104 hours?
Didn’t I just take out hundreds of zombies, Lickers, and a mix of Beta-type Hunters by sneaking up on them and then immediately after, kill more than twenty Prototype Tyrants before emptying half of the sewers and clearing the slot machine’s reward pool?
I think that after something of this extent, I should be mostly recovered after sleeping for a day and a night."
But sometimes sleep can be addictive, so Zhang Yanhang didn’t deny the possibility of sleeping for two days straight, but the chances of that happening were really slim, unless the options gave it a boost; otherwise, it really wasn’t likely.
At least the process should have been interrupted by the time he reached the takeout part since he had already slept a full day and night; it just doesn’t make sense for him to go to sleep right after finishing the takeout, and even if he did sleep, it’s unlikely for him to continue sleeping for another whole day and night.
Being able to transition from eating takeout to sleeping made Zhang Yanhang think that it was mostly because he had consumed a large amount of food and then started to play with his phone while lying in bed, only to fall asleep soon after due to the normal physiological reaction of feeling sleepy after a full meal.
After briefly brainstorming the entire process, Zhang Yanhang felt that such a slothful life actually fits the rhythm of his past lifestyle quite well. After all, when he usually rested, he hardly ever went out; at home, it was either Cultivation or sleep or playing games, so naturally, he would sleep till he woke up naturally every day.
This habit of sleeping till natural awakening was also brought by Zhang Yanhang to Ashen World and after setting several alarms with no effect, he simply gave up on alarms altogether. He thought maybe doing the opposite might let him wake up earlier, but as it turned out, he was overthinking; setting alarms was utterly ineffective, and every time he would still sleep until naturally awake.
"But although Option Three looks really good, I still prefer Option One because I still have to attend school... So, I choose Option One, I want to leave Ashen World immediately."
With Zhang Yanhang making his choice, his vision instantly went dark and then bright again. His gaze shifted from the old dilapidated ceiling of Ashen World to the renovated white ceiling at home, "Finally back... truly tire—"
He could only get halfway through his sentence before he couldn’t hold on any longer and immediately fell into a sleeping state.
