Chapter 142

Given his relatively high skill level, lack of missions, and the ability to quickly equip himself, Li Pu estimated that this character was likely to be a marginal one.

There are no main characters with well-developed personalities like MEI, Cecilia, or Kallen.

It's not important, but it's also important.

"Yes, that's right," the system said. "I didn't say that the character you draw would definitely be a powerful one, did I? You might draw some supporting characters too."

"But the probability of getting a supporting character must be quite high, right?" Li Pu suddenly said.

"..." The system suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.

Even with only this rudimentary interface, Li Pu could roughly guess what the person on the other end was thinking. They were probably trying to make up some excuse to fool him, right?

"What are you saying?" the system retorted loudly, "The probability of drawing all the characters is about the same."

"There are no easy ones and no bad ones."

"Really?" Li Pu said, completely unconvinced. "You're lying."

"Although this is not a game," Li Pu said, seemingly having seen through everything, "The design mechanism of this system is to use the stimulation brought by the unknown of gambling and the greed of trying to win big with small bets to control transmigrators."

"We will not distribute these character and equipment rewards directly through the store or certain tasks."

"There are two reasons. First, if the reward doesn't satisfy the transmigrator's psychology, the transmigrator won't make an effort to complete the mission."

"Because people will make choices. Transmigrators are not necessarily hardcore gamers or collectors."

"They will selectively complete tasks based on their own choices and needs."

"Secondly, given clear rewards and task details, time travelers know how to complete these tasks, just like playing a game. Because everyone knows that the game will eventually be completed."

"Therefore, some time travelers may deliberately postpone their missions for a long time."

"If you force them to do it, it will only provoke their resentment."

"Dissatisfaction will affect your cooperation with the time travelers."

"And this method..."

Li Pu smiled slightly and said nothing.

This method can indeed serve as an incentive to some extent, but...

"For you, it's not in your interest for transmigrators to develop too quickly, nor is it in your interest if they don't develop at all," Li Pu said confidently. "And the missions need to be issued in a timely manner based on the actual situation, and the rewards also need to be distributed based on the actual situation."

"However, plans can change. The equipment you think the time traveler wants may not be the equipment the time traveler actually wants."

"And this approach, in your view, has just changed the mission, causing the problem that the mission rewards do not match the needs of the transmigrators."

"You don't want to constantly monitor the task settings; you just need to provide rewards."

"Then let the time traveler draw it himself."

"Of course, this selection won't be an equal opportunity," Li Pu said. "Just like I said, you certainly don't want a transmigrator to become invincible overnight."

"Therefore, the drop rate for each character is different, and the characters you draw will be available at different times."

"It's just right to ensure that the transmigrators are neither too weak to be worthless nor too powerful to be out of this world."

"In summary."

"From the time I started participating in the giveaway until now, all the people involved..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the system immediately said, "All characters have the same chance of being drawn. There's absolutely no such thing as some characters being easier to draw than others."

"Then why do I keep getting good characters?" Li Pu asked in return. "King Arthur, Mei, Cecilia, Kallen."

"That's because you're lucky~" the system explained, "Of course you can draw it."

"Indeed." Li Pu seemed to have caught a loophole in the system's words and said, "It seems I've always been lucky, managing to get good characters almost every time I draw a lottery."

"Your luck was truly extraordinary!" Li Pu said meaningfully, "Then why did things suddenly turn so bad this time?"

"Looks like I'm not exactly a lucky person after all~"

"Is that right?"

The system suddenly fell silent again.

"Alright." Seeing that the system was silent again, Li Pu changed his mind and said, "Let's not bring up this issue."

That's about it. From what we've seen so far, this system seems to be able to control the drop rates of different items. Suddenly drawing a fringe character is definitely not just luck.

No...

Or you could say it's just luck; you might be incredibly lucky in lotteries.

The system deliberately lowered the probability of drawing this character.

So I drew this character.

But that's not the crux of the problem.

"Can we be a little more open?" Li Pu suddenly asked.

"What... what are you saying?" The system sensed something was off and said, "How come we weren't being honest?"

"Us..."

"Then speak to me in your normal voice," Li Pu said. "You should also turn off this unpleasant electronic voice."

"Hey! No! This!!!" The system was even more anxious.

"Hmph." Li Pu snorted coldly and said, "You were already exposed before."

"I forgot to turn on the voice changer!"

"You stupid little girl!"

"(⊙o⊙)...!!!!" The system was dumbfounded.

Own...

Were we exposed?

Otto, outside, was unaware of the struggles between Li Pu and the system. All he knew was that Kallen's condition had stabilized after treatment in the medical pod.

Theoretically speaking, they should have woken up by now.

Can...

Why hasn't he woken up yet?

Kallen!

My Kallen!

This...

What on earth is going on?!

Otto was getting anxious, yet he felt helpless. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange and thorny problem, even though there were no particularly serious external or internal injuries.

The main problem is exhaustion, which is something that can be treated even in a regular hospital.

At most, they were just tormented by that prison box.

But even so, shouldn't he be waking up by now?

Why...

Why won't he wake up?

Otto is going around in circles here.

And in the Sea of Quantum!

"Mei! My Mei!"

Having witnessed everything Kevin was so anxious he jumped up and down, roaring, "This guy! Who is this stupid guy? How come he still can't cure my MEI?"

"This person... seems to be..." Seele recalled her previous observations and said, "It seems to be the current Archbishop of Schicksal."

"His name was Otto, I think."

"Otto?" Kevin nodded and said, "Very good, I'll remember that name."

If he remembered correctly, the guy who set up the machine ambush outside for MEI was also named 'Otto', right? This guy looks like it.

"However..." Kevin said, arms crossed, looking somewhat puzzled, "Since he chose to ambush MEI..."

"Why are you so concerned about my MEI now?"

Shouldn't they be enemies? Even if they were brought here, shouldn't they be thrown into prison or a lab? Or perhaps they'd be subjected to some strange or unusual actions by MEI?

It seems like he cares a lot about MEI now.

This must be the medical room.

The medical standards of this era should be more than enough to handle that level of problem, right?

No!!!

"What's the relationship between this guy and my MEI?" Kevin asked, frowning.

"I don't think he has anything to do with MEI," Seele said uncertainly. "He seemed to shout it out when MEI transformed into a white-haired older sister."

"Kallen! My Kallen and all that."

"That voice sounds exactly like yours."

It's just the wailing of a simp!

Hmm... Seele glanced at Kevin expression was displeased.

'That's probably the lament of a simp.'

I added another sentence in my mind.

"Could it be..." Kevin suddenly felt that the situation seemed a bit bad.

Humans can't truly understand each other emotionally, but sycophants can still understand one another. In particular, they can understand each other's meaning through wailing and lamenting.

"There are even more competitors now?" Kevin felt a little overwhelmed.

"They don't have any children, do they?" Kevin asked, looking down at Seele.

"This... that... this..." Seele felt like she might die if she told the truth.

"Speak," Kevin said. "I can take it. If you don't talk, you'll never get out of here."

"I know," Kevin confirmed. "You've observed other World Bubble, and you've said that similar things happen in similar World Bubble."

"Therefore, we can also infer things here by looking at which World Bubble."

"Right?!"

"Eh..." Seele felt sweating profusely, and it seemed she had no choice but to keep quiet.

"Go ahead and say it," Kevin said calmly. "I can handle it."

"Theoretically... probably... no." Seele said cautiously.

"I want practical results! Not theoretical ones!" Kevin said.

"Theresa Apocalypse," Seele said. "That... I mentioned before that Otto has been trying to resurrect Kallen. And the initial idea was to use genetic technology to create a vessel that could hold Kallen's soul."

"Then Theresa Apocalypse was born, and theoretically she was a child born from Kallen's genes."

"Oh?" Kevin suddenly became interested and said, "Just like that child back then?"

"A child born from my genes and MEI's genes?"

"No, actually, it's not that there isn't any," Seele said. "There is no Otto gene."

"Moreover, when observing other World Bubble, Theresa seems to have inherited another person's Stigmata."

"A Stigmata called Yae Sakura."

"So..." Seele said, scratching her head, "Theresa inherited the characteristics of both Kallen and Yae Sakura."

"It has basically nothing to do with Otto."

"Oh..." Kevin suddenly felt much better after hearing what Seele said.
