Apocalypse: System of lotteries

At 10 AM, Ming surveyed the defense of the hill, and after verifying that everything was in order, he placed the frogs into his pocket, accessed the random area map on his screen, selected the area for levels 10-20, and entered.

Buzz~

In the next instant, Ming landed.

He was elated that there were no level restrictions. This was very crucial, as it allowed him to unleash his full potential in this area.

Welcome to the random area map. You can remain on the map for 24 hours, after which you will be automatically transported back to your origin. However, you must survive. Have you procured a replacement puppet?"

Sniff~

A gust of wind blew, carrying with it a saline scent that filled his nostrils. He turned around and saw an unbounded sea. He was positioned on a soft sandy beach.

"David, make sure your funds are prepared."

Ming was delighted and hoped that David had considerable financial resources. If possible, he would like to possess the entire beach to sell David.

He scrutinized the map, and the entire area looked square. According to scale conversion, the length and breadth of this place were 20 kilometers. It was apparent that the area map was much larger than the copy map.

As he glanced around, he noticed it was a small island with a greater oceanic area. He then placed the two frogs on the ground, patted their heads, and gave foodie two fish.

"Your Da Vinci gazed around and followed the foodie to a coconut tree, gazing upwards at the coconuts overhead... It was amazed that this variety of tree must be used to smash people, wasn't it?"

"Your foodie pivoted and looked at you... it reckoned that you understood its thoughts..."

Ming peered upwards at several coconut trees with coconuts, which reminded him of the recipe for coconut chicken.

All he needed now was chicken.

Sniff~ The fragrance of birds.

He turned around and saw a seagull approaching, its beak as sharp as a sword. This was truly lucky. There was a real understanding of his needs in this copy.

He used Eagle Eye to inspect and discern that it was a mutant creature.

Aim! He aimed at the seagull and pulled the trigger, striking the target and activating the explosive arrow... Boom... the seagull was reduced to ashes and scattered into the sea.

......

Ming put away his crossbow and silently made his way to the shore.

[Your Da Vinci shook its head at you, not expecting to eat bird meat anymore...]

[Da Vinci comforted Foodie, saying, "It's okay, now you know that Ming isn't a skilled cook... The frogs hopped into the grass and spotted a mountain in the distance. They resolved to venture there and see if they could make new acquaintances...]

"..."

Ming gazed up at the coconut tree, reminiscing about the sea bird he had just encountered. He stowed away his crossbow and scaled the tree.

Five minutes later, he had collected all the coconuts from the several coconut trees in the vicinity and even uprooted a small coconut tree to bring along. Because uncertain if he would have another opportunity to visit the seaside, he transplanted one back as a memento, primarily for the convenience of preparing coconut chicken in the future. He spotted another small coconut tree and repeated the process, concluding that taking two trees was more economical.

[The frogs stood afar, fixating on the mountain and observed a faint blue aura flickering around the small summit... They thought you would relish it and proceeded to hop towards it...]

[The frogs glanced up and spotted a massive seabird soaring overhead, flying toward your direction... they exchanged glances and swiftly scurried forward, "It's none of our concern."]

"A small mountain with a light blue aura?"

Ming was thrilled. The small mountain in the frogs' view was likely not very large and probably housed a spiritual stone.

Suddenly, a gigantic seabird materialized above him and swooped down in his direction.

"Perfect timing."

He utilized Eagle Eye to discover it was merely an elite seabird, and instantaneously summoned a small sparrow to transform into a giant eagle and take to the skies. The spiritual giant eagle frightened the elite seagull, causing its body to hesitate. Before it could react, the spiritual giant eagle had already launched an attack.

Ming gestured upwards, directing the giant eagle to soar high in the sky and swiftly tumble in the air, coming to a stop above the colossal seabird. He gestured again, and the giant eagle's talons, resembling iron hooks, seized the wings of the mutated seabird. The eagle's beak, akin to a sharp blade, pierced the seabird's head, and the talons tightened once more, completely rending the seabird's wings apart.

"Ding~ slain an elite seabird, gaining 40 experience points and 2 gold coins."

As the seabird plummeted to the ground, a white light column erupted, which he promptly retrieved and examined:

[Tough feathers: Special Material]

"Special material?"

Ming collected the card. It was his first time obtaining such a special material, and he was uncertain about its purpose, so he opted to retain it for the time being. He also harvested a giant seabird. Despite not having coconut chicken, the coconut seabird was also palatable. He then darted towards the "light blue" mountain that the frogs had mentioned.

[The frogs hunkered beneath the small mountain awaiting your arrival. Upon observing you racing toward them, they felt reassured... Looks like you have already caught that seabird... We'll be having bird meat for dinner tonight.]

....

Alan sat outside his house, no longer struggling with the fact that there were no random copies available today. So he could only go to the random area map. With his two puppets in tow, he selected a level 10-20 random area map, and a white light enveloped him and his puppets.

In the next moment, he found himself standing on the beach with the sea breeze blowing, bringing him back from his daze. Looking back at the ocean, he saw the blue and white waves wash away the tension he felt, leaving no trace.

"Let's go fight some monsters."

Alan waved his hand and started moving forward. After a few steps, he realized something was amiss and turned around to see his two zombie puppets walking towards the sea.

"What the hell?"

...

Ming couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the giant spiritual stone in front of him, which was half a head taller than him. It weighed at least a few thousand pounds. He took out his electric saw and started cutting into the stone, making a buzzing sound...

After cutting off a piece of about one hundred pounds, he stored it in his inventory. He continued to laugh and cut, feeling that he had truly hit the jackpot this time.

He had originally planned to bring back some sand for David. However, now he changed his mind because the amount of money from the spiritual giant stone was far too valuable.

Meanwhile, his frogs were squatting in the grass in the distance, watching as his smile became increasingly incomprehensible. But seeing him happy, they were happy too...

Da Vinci stared at him, wanting to tell him that a giant monster with two large pincers was coming toward him from behind...

Foodie licked its lips, dreaming about the taste of the monster. This was what it had been waiting for...
