A draw from the Bronze Lottery Machine cost 100 Copper Coins. It could yield items worth far more than that, but it could also spit out trash.
There was no one beside the Silver Lottery Machine, because a single draw cost one Silver Coin.
No one had even seen that thing before.
"Here, have a go." Xu Lang withdrew a Silver Coin and handed it to Tong Qi.
"This is a Silver Coin?" Tong Qi stared at the silvery coin in her palm, her mouth forming an O as she let out a cute little gasp.
"Mm-hmm, go on and try it." Xu Lang smiled.
Tong Qi's big eyes sparkled. "Thank you, Lang Ge!"
"It won't give anything good, it's just teasing us!"
"Ah, it passed!"
"Dahai, what a pity! You didn't get those Gale Shoes again!"
"I seriously suspect this lottery machine is targeting Dahai!"
"Dahai, can you give me the trash you don't want?"
In front of the Bronze Lottery Machine, a group of people had become completely absorbed in playing. Their faces were fervent, and they did not even notice Xu Lang and the other two arrive. Only when the Silver Lottery Machine flashed with dazzling light and rang out did they snap back to their senses.
Zhang Dahai, who was holding the lever, froze. He turned to the side and spotted Xu Lang's group.
"Holy shit! It's Xu Lang!" one person cried, backing away several steps in fright.
The others also gave them some space.
Zhang Dahai looked at the Silver Lottery Machine, which was wailing and beeping wildly, then looked at Xu Lang. "Xu Lang, where did you get a Silver Coin?"
"It dropped from a monster," Xu Lang replied.
"Okay." Zhang Dahai nodded.
He had a very favorable impression of Xu Lang. Xu Lang had given him medical supplies before, and in the infirmary, he had not robbed him either.
"Gasp—look! Look at the reward appearing in the Silver Lottery Machine!" someone suddenly shouted.
The small screen on the lottery machine glowed orange. A bizarre long blade radiating orange light appeared on it, and one could tell from its appearance alone that it was extraordinary.
[Ghost-Slaying Blade]
The items inside the lottery machine could only be seen by name and appearance. Their detailed information could not be checked.
"Xu Lang, there are white, green, blue, purple, and orange items in the lottery machine. Orange is the best, and it looks like there's only one orange item," Zhang Dahai said excitedly.
Xu Lang stared at the machine and licked his lips.
Cao Yaxuan and Tong Qi clenched their fists as they stared at the screen, incomparably nervous.
Everyone around them was caught up in the tension.
After surviving the life-and-death zombie attack, this kind of gambling game seemed especially popular among the players.
Someone muttered, "Come on! Come on! Come on!"
If something good really came out, Xu Lang might give everyone some benefits. Zhang Dahai had just done the same.
As everyone waited anxiously, the image in the lottery machine suddenly changed. A pair of gauntlets emitting green light appeared on the screen.
"Holy fuck!"
"Why did it turn green?"
"What a mind game!"
The players looked as though they had been punched, and they began sighing in disappointment.
[Wind-Thunder Gauntlets]
Then the image on the screen changed again. A complete set of clothing glowing purple appeared, and the image froze!
Zhang Dahai opened his mouth, stunned speechless.
He had played for so long and gotten, at best, a blue item. Xu Lang had pulled purple on his very first try?
And it was purple from the Silver Lottery Machine!
Xu Lang's heart pounded as if he had won the jackpot.
[Extract? Yes/No]
"Extract it, quick!" Xu Lang hurriedly said.
Tong Qi immediately tapped Extract. "Lang Ge, it's in my backpack now!"
"Good." Without another word, Xu Lang turned and left.
Tong Qi and Cao Yaxuan immediately followed. They soon broke into a run, and as they passed the equipment area, Xu Lang casually bought fifteen No. 6 bullets.
A few people instinctively wanted to chase after them.
"What are you going after them for?!" Zhang Dahai shouted grimly.
Those people froze, looking at one another.
Right, were they really going to chase after them and rob them?
Leaving aside Xu Lang's pistol, none of them could withstand those six free attribute points!
Xu Lang's group raced all the way back and soon returned to Dormitory 200.
"Pant, pant, pant..."
The two women were exhausted. The moment they entered the foyer, they could barely walk anymore, leaning against Xu Lang and gasping for breath.
Xu Lang took out two bottles of mineral water and handed one to each of them.
"I'm alive again!" Cao Yaxuan threw back her long swanlike neck and gulped down the mineral water. It felt as though her lungs were about to explode.
Xu Lang was slightly stunned. Cao Yaxuan looked so beautiful at that moment.
Crystal droplets hung from her fair neck, like sweat and water stains at once.
"It's fine now that we're home." Tong Qi panted, her chest heaving magnificently.
Both women were smart, and neither complained.
In that situation, running away had undoubtedly been the right choice.
The three sat down by the sofa. Rubbing her hands together, Cao Yaxuan said impatiently, "Tong Qi, take it out already! Let's see what it is!"
"Okay!" Tong Qi answered. Then a khaki trench coat set appeared in her hands.
[Survivor Set] [Type: Clothing] [Level: 3] [Effect 1 (Enhanced): Constitution +1, Spirit +1] [Effect 2 (Unremarkable): Reduces presence. Even outside the dormitory, monsters will not deliberately target the wearer.] [Effect 3 (Survivor): Once fullness drops to 5, it will no longer decrease.] [Durability: 23/23] [Can be dismantled for: Advanced Fabric x10, Advanced Leather x10] [Upgrade Requirement: 400 Nightmare Coins] [Description: I'll definitely be the one who survives to the end!]
"It's actually Level 3 equipment!" Cao Yaxuan cried happily, then added, "And it's an anti-hunger divine item!"
"This equipment is perfect for roaming outside," Xu Lang said with a smile.
If they had had this equipment in the previous round, they could have brought enough food and hidden inside a shipping container.
Of course, that was assuming there were no monsters with detection abilities.
"Then doesn't that mean it's not very suitable for you, Lang Ge?" Tong Qi asked somewhat sheepishly.
Dormitory 200's room door was such a high level that they would definitely stay holed up at home during the game rather than go out.
Xu Lang rubbed her head. "It definitely wasn't a loss, no matter what. It's still Level 3 equipment. Tong Qi, your luck really is incredible."
"Yeah, yeah, you're practically the reincarnation of a lucky emperor!" Cao Yaxuan said with a smile.
Embarrassed by the praise, Tong Qi said, "Then hurry up and put it on, Lang Ge!"
"Okay!" Xu Lang took off his clothes and began putting on the Survivor Set.
The boots, the pants, the top...
Once the full set was on him, its shape shifted slightly to fit Xu Lang's body perfectly.
"It's very comfortable to wear, and I feel stronger too." Xu Lang clenched his fist and smiled faintly.
"So handsome!" Cao Yaxuan's eyes lit up. She looked at Xu Lang as though he were her boyfriend, her attention focused mainly on his appearance.
The Survivor Set looked unremarkable at first glance, but once Xu Lang wore the entire set, it suited him perfectly, carrying a strong post-apocalyptic industrial style.
None of them had worn anything proper these past few days. Xu Lang's complete outfit was absolutely one of a kind.
After letting the two women admire him for a while, Xu Lang walked to the room door and had Tong Qi take out the Swift Repeating Crossbow to begin setting it up.
With a flash of light, two crossbows appeared to the left and right of the room door, half inside the dormitory and half outside it.
The coldly gleaming bolts were aimed at the corridor, ready to fire.
Xu Lang, with his slight obsessive streak, adjusted the two repeating crossbows until they were level with each other, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Those bolts look a little scary," Cao Yaxuan said, feeling as though someone were pointing a gun at her.
Tong Qi added, "They also make us feel safe."
"We can turn these crossbows on and off from inside the dormitory," Xu Lang said. "From now on, once the game starts, we'll keep them on the whole time."
After saying that, Xu Lang took a photo and sent it to the chatroom.
[200 Xu Lang: Don't come near my room for no reason in the future. (Image)] [5 Zhu Yan: Lang Ge is awesome! You already got the crossbows set up!] [181 Li Yu: Lang Ge is amazing.] [32 Ye Fan: Boohoo, someone buy me a Swift Repeating Crossbow! I'd even be willing to marry you in return!]
