Did you add gold? (Chapter 120)
OMG, is this a pie falling from the sky???
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
Ye Sheng didn’t understand, but her heart was ecstatic… Of course, the actual reason was that some of the black market guards, finding their weapons ineffective against the shadows, had resorted to grabbing the cases and using them as makeshift weapons to smash around.
In the heat of the moment, they completely forgot that these cases contained priceless treasures, only remembering that the black cases were made of special materials, not only offering top-tier protective capabilities but also serving as excellent weapons.
They could deal large-scale damage.
But the shadows weren’t so easy to deal with.
Even if smashed apart by the black cases, they would quickly reform and continue attacking the black market guards.
The battle quickly turned one-sided…
For now, Ye Sheng, who was outside the combat zone, had no real interest in the transformation potions.
But who could resist a free potion worth 830 million base points? It was an absolute steal!
(✪ω✪)
So, with lightning speed, Ye Sheng snatched up a case, swiftly pulled out the potion inside, and then tossed the case aside, giving it a hard kick with her foot.
The black case slid forward rapidly… Who knew which unlucky soul would later find it, only to go from sheer joy to rage upon discovering it was empty? That transition would be smooth~
Tsk tsk, human happiness isn’t universal. Just like Ye Sheng right now, gleefully stuffing three potion vials into the hidden compartment of her beloved satchel.
These were treasures that could be exchanged for a ton of points!!!
[Detected composite liquid exchangeable for points. Exchange?]
But the sudden voice in her head made Ye Sheng freeze.
She blinked in confusion, then looked down at the potion in her hand. The golden liquid swayed gently with her movement, as if declaring its uniqueness.
It was actually recognized by the lottery system as exchangeable for points.
This was big!
Faced with the choice between hundreds of millions of base points and an unknown amount of lottery points, Ye Sheng hesitated only briefly before deciding to exchange one top-grade transformation potion to test the waters.
While base points could improve her life, lottery points could make her stronger.
Besides, selling the potions she’d picked up would be risky, there was a high chance of getting caught and inviting trouble… Well, she still had two left after exchanging one.
No worries!
Once decided, Ye Sheng slipped the potion into her satchel as cover. The next second, the transformation potion vanished from her hand.
[Exchange successful. Lucky one has received 150,000 points.]
The system’s follow-up notification left Ye Sheng utterly stunned. She never expected a single small potion to be worth 150,000 lottery points!!!
She’d thought it’d be a few thousand at most…
Just what the hell did the base research institute put in these top-grade potions? Gold???
(๑°⌓°๑)
Snapping out of her shock, Ye Sheng’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
She’d struck gold!
Without another thought, she immediately exchanged the remaining two potions for lottery points. Three potions totaled 450,000 lottery points!
Instant riches~
That meant 45 lottery draws!!!
Unable to contain her excitement, Ye Sheng quickly glanced toward the circular auction stage. Even the sight of the dead auctioneer couldn’t dim the fire in his eyes.
She was itching to take a risk and swipe more potions.
Unfortunately, in the time it took Ye Sheng to exchange her points, the battle between the silent shadow assassins and the black market guards had reached its end.
Despite the guards’ desperate resistance, too many of their comrades had fallen.
The shadows writhing around the corpses quickly joined the fray.
It was an unfair fight.
The guards couldn’t destroy the shadows, and with more and more shadows joining the attack, their defeat was inevitable, ending only in their deaths.
When the last black market guard fell to the shadows, the auction hall was littered with corpses.
Only the stacked black cases near the stage stood out conspicuously.
Inside them lay countless treasures from the auction.
Most of the auction attendees had fled in panic. In the dimly lit hall, only a handful remained, silent and still.
But the ambition in their eyes betrayed their eagerness.
Just like Ye Sheng’s earlier thoughts, the thrill of free loot was irresistible. Grab a case, make a run for it, and live a life of luxury afterward.
Yet the remaining few shared the same idea, eyeing each other warily, none making a move.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Like a taut string, ready to snap at the slightest provocation.
Ye Sheng could already foresee the coming bloodbath. She’d originally planned to leave with Gu Luoyu once the crowd thinned… but then this surprise had delayed her.
Now, it was too late to leave.
Any careless move could ignite the powder keg. Best not to act recklessly now.
Though things had gotten complicated, Ye Sheng didn’t regret it. Lottery points were hard to come by, and hitting the jackpot today was like a blessing from Lady Luck.
Regret? Hell no.
Even if she got beaten up today, she still wouldn’t regret it!!!
With that in mind, Ye Sheng quickly glanced toward Sen Lan. The shadow-controlling ability earlier had clearly been Chen Yuan’s doing.
Noticing Chen Yuan’s unnaturally pale, almost glowing complexion, Ye Sheng blinked. Using such abilities must’ve taken a heavy toll.
The shadows that terrified the black market guards weren’t truly endless.
They required Chen Yuan to expend something of herself.
Still, this tactic worked on ordinary people, but against an Esper… Huh???
Wait, where are Espers?
No way the black market hadn’t hired an Esper to keep things under control!
Were they hiding in the shadows, waiting to strike?
(ㅍ_ㅍ)
Thinking about it, that was very possible.
Ye Sheng sighed inwardly. This mess was deep.
But as someone who’d already profited, she could only console herself, even if another battle broke out, it had nothing to do with her.
Once chaos erupted, she’d grab Gu Luoyu and bolt.
Who knows? Maybe a second black case would fall from the sky!
Completely lacking self-awareness, Ye Sheng indulged in her daydreams.
Meanwhile, Gu Luoyu, who’d watched the whole thing, raised an eyebrow. Following Ye Sheng’s gaze, she noticed her desire for the transformation potions.
The auction had prepared ten sets of top-grade transformation potions.
Nine sets remained.
Though unsure why Ye Sheng suddenly wanted them, Gu Luoyu didn’t press. Instead, she asked with a faint smile, "Want those potions?"
