Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

"So, both of your awakening secret keys succeeded?" Seeing Wang Tao's surprised expression, Cheng Yiyi's face immediately revealed a smile. "Yes, both were successful." Hiss— Cheng Yiyi really has good luck! Last time, Wang Tao gave four awakening secret keys to Lan Yulian and her group, but only two succeeded, making the success rate exactly 50%... Yet both of Cheng Yiyi's ordinary awakening secret keys were successful, a 100% success rate! Perhaps feeling that wasn't shocking enough, Cheng Yiyi continued: "Moreover, neither of our awakeners had hidden attributes before. I first fused the strange poison sac I traded from you, thinking if I failed, I would then fuse the snake bead, but to my surprise, I succeeded... So the snake bead was spared and given to someone else." "Ah?" The success rate of an ordinary awakening secret key is after all also 50%, and both succeeding could still be considered reasonable. But the [Strange Poison Sac] only has a one-in-three chance of granting hidden attributes! Of course, a one-in-three chance is not zero, and success is certainly possible. But the problem is, not only did Cheng Yiyi succeed in fusing the [Strange Poison Sac] with a one-in-three chance, but she also succeeded in her 50% chance awakening! Both being successful, that meant a one-in-six probability. This is even lower than the chance of obtaining an ability from a white crystal core! "Your luck... is awesome!" Wang Tao raised his thumb in approval. Both [Snake Bead] and [Strange Poison Sac] are things that can enhance a person's hidden attributes. Cheng Yiyi's estimated price for the [Snake Bead] was 2.1 million crystal coins, which was still somewhat of a friendly underestimation, while she bought the [Strange Poison Sac] from Wang Tao for 500,000 crystal coins—there's a fourfold price difference between the two! So the success of the [Strange Poison Sac] was tantamount to Cheng Yiyi making over 1.5 million in profit! Of course, this wasn't only due to Cheng Yiyi's good luck, but also her willingness to gamble. If she had failed, she would have lost 500,000. "I have to thank Mr. Wang for this! Without trading with you, I wouldn't even have had the chance to gamble!" Cheng Yiyi first laughed heartily, then suddenly sighed, "But... never mind, let's not talk about it." It was precisely because of this success that Cheng Yiyi developed a slight misperception about her own luck, which led her to open a batch of meteorites. As a result... now she could only use meteorites to pay off her debts! Wang Tao was a bit curious about what had happened to Cheng Yiyi, but seeing her reluctance to elaborate, he didn't inquire further. Nowadays, who doesn't have a few sad stories? It wasn't surprising. At this moment, Cheng Yiyi turned to look at the black snake by Wang Tao's side and asked: "Are you selling this little snake?" Wang Tao shrugged; everyone who saw the black snake asked this question. "Of course not. Not to mention whether I'm willing or not, even if I were willing, it only obeys its master, me. No one else can control it. Unless you want to take it home to make soup or kill it to obtain its crystal core, otherwise it's of no use..." Cheng Yiyi immediately looked disappointed. Although she had previously spent money on a Night Demon heart, that [Night Demon Type I] could only be used at night, which was a significant limitation. Moreover, the [Night Demon Type I] seemed not very smart. Without her control, it couldn't exert its full strength. "Then the strength of your Starfire Society has increased a lot! You already had two fourth-order awakeners. Now adding five fourth-order black snakes..." Cheng Yiyi's tone was filled with envy. Although these five black snakes were only elite level and there was a gap between them and fourth-order awakeners, after all, these were five snakes that could understand human orders! If they were to cooperate with each other or with humans, the combat power they could wield would probably not be inferior to that of awakeners! Hearing her say this, Wang Tao really wanted to boast that he also had five snake eggs yet to be hatched, but after thinking about it, he still didn't boast. The main reason was that Wang Tao wasn't sure whether to keep the remaining five snake eggs for his own people to hatch or to sell them. Hatching snake eggs requires a certain amount of spiritual power, and to make them obedient requires even more spiritual power. After Wei Zhenguo and others successfully hatched their snakes, they felt that they could only hatch one snake for the time being; continuing to hatch would affect their combat power. And Ding Yuqin and the other women didn't particularly like such cold-blooded animals, and Wang Tao didn't insist. Maybe there would be better options waiting for them in the future. As for Wang Tao himself, he felt that with his spiritual power, he could still hatch more eggs, but having a bunch of fourth-order elite monsters wouldn't be very useful to him; at least fourth-order lords would be of help. When he unleashed his full firepower, even Lan Yulian wouldn't dare to approach. If he had a group of snakes with him, he might accidentally end up having barbecue on the battlefield one day. So Wang Tao decided to think it over again about how to deal with these remaining five snake eggs, whether to keep them for himself or to sell them. If someone was willing to trade something like a level 4 ascension crystal core for them, he would be quite willing to sell them. ... Since there was no way to buy the black snake, Cheng Yiyi no longer talked about these enviable topics. She held Blacky in her arms, sitting in the yard, sipping the tea Nie Siyan had just brought over, and chatting with Wang Tao about the situation of awakeners. Cheng Yiyi didn't know Wang Tao before and didn't know much about him. From her brief interaction and what Qi De and others had said, she could tell Wang Tao was a very knowledgeable person. Generally, things like awakening and abilities are quite private. No one would talk about them lightly. But Cheng Yiyi was willing to share these with Wang Tao. She herself had many questions about her own awakening and thought she might get some useful information from him.
