Quick Choice

"Hahaha... Wei Wei Jie, seeing your result suddenly made me realize my luck wasn't so bad after all."

As Chu Wei started repeatedly brushing at her hair to clean off the rock fragments that had fallen from above and dirtied it, A Liao, who had just been complaining about his bad luck, smugly began teasing her.

But Chu Wei knew A Liao was not truly mocking her, merely joking around between teammates, so she did not mind. As she continued clearing the remaining stone chips from her hair, she looked toward Wang Zhifan beside her.

"Brother Fan, are you going to give it a try? If not, we need to head back and continue clearing. There isn't much time left."

After spending this time together, Chu Wei knew Wang Zhifan was rather cautious by nature, so she assumed that he would not be willing to touch the Statue.

But reality differed from Chu Wei's guess. When Wang Zhifan heard her ask whether he wanted to try, he showed neither indifference nor resistance. Instead, he walked straight over to the Statue embedded in the rock wall.

"We finally came across one. Of course I have to try it."

Before he had even finished speaking, Wang Zhifan pressed his palm against the Statue before him without the slightest hesitation, making his determination clear.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Chu Wei and A Liao, they noticed that this time, the Statue in the rock wall did not immediately emit a faint glow after Wang Zhifan touched it. For a moment, it appeared to have no reaction at all.

At the same time, unbeknownst to Chu Wei and A Liao, a lengthy screen of light visible only to Wang Zhifan had appeared before him:

This time, the contents displayed on the light screen before Wang Zhifan were unprecedentedly lengthy, with nearly a hundred options. Nearly half carried negative effects, while the other half were beneficial choices of various kinds, such as equipment, skills, and attribute boosts.

The positive options covered so many areas and contained so much variety that they were well worth Wang Zhifan's careful consideration. But Chu Wei and A Liao were standing beside him watching. They could not see the information before his eyes, but if he stood there blankly for too long, they would surely grow suspicious.

So Wang Zhifan abandoned the strategy of carefully selecting an option. At the fastest speed of his life, he used his mind to rapidly scan through all nearly one hundred choices, then decisively selected the beneficial option with the lowest displayed trigger chance.

From Chu Wei and A Liao's perspective, the Statue they were watching only reacted about two seconds after Wang Zhifan touched it. The apple on the plate it held in one hand flashed with a faint glow, and then a gentle beam of light suddenly descended upon Wang Zhifan's head and instantly entered his body, as though a bolt of white lightning had suddenly struck him.

"Brother Fan, what did you trigger? Why does it seem a little different from ours?"

Having watched Wang Zhifan complete the entire process of touching the Statue, A Liao immediately asked him. He was very curious about what positive effect Wang Zhifan had received, since based on their earlier experiences, the apple part of the Statue glowing meant a positive effect had been triggered.

"I'm not sure either... I just feel like my body has become a little different. I probably received some kind of Buff."

Naturally, Wang Zhifan could not tell A Liao that he had personally chosen an exceptionally powerful positive option, so he answered vaguely. Besides, he had read the information on this Goddess of Luck Statue event before. He knew the official records on this Special Event were not especially detailed, so it was not strange for him to encounter something slightly unusual.

"Damn... so Brother Fan is actually the luckiest out of the three of us. Comparing people really is enough to make you mad..."

Seeing that Wang Zhifan was unwilling to say more, A Liao knew he must have received some fairly good benefit, likely far better than the pair of Common Grade Cloth Shoes he had gotten earlier. His tone immediately turned somewhat sour.

After listening to their conversation, Chu Wei let out a faint sigh as well. She secretly lamented that she, the person who had discovered the Statue, had turned out to be the unluckiest among the three. Feeling a little depressed, she then teased Wang Zhifan, "Brother Fan, your luck is so good that you can't keep all the benefits to yourself. How about you treat the two of us to a meal after we get out?"

"Sure. I haven't eaten anything good lately anyway. Once we finish clearing this place and get paid, recommend somewhere to me."

Wang Zhifan did not refuse. After all, Chu Wei deserved most of the credit for him getting this job and for them encountering the Goddess of Luck Statue. Treating the two of them to a meal was not excessive at all.
