Chapter 7: Are There Bugs in the Gacha System?!
"Gacha cards can have bugs?!"
Bai Yi stared at the pile of cards with his mouth agape, momentarily at a loss for words.
He tentatively lifted one card, and luck was on his side - a purple glow.
After seeing the glow beneath the card, Bai Yi covered it back up without flipping it over to see what exactly it was.
The card didn't disappear nor did it flip over by itself, and the table didn't vanish either, as if he had never lifted it at all.
"Really..."
Bai Yi watched this scene in disbelief, with surprise and astonishment intertwining in his heart.
"Holy shit! Having played gacha mobile games for so long, when have I ever encountered something like this!
A redo on a messed-up draw?!"
But after a moment of jubilation, Bai Yi calmed down and couldn't help but ponder:
"Will other people discover this bug? Is it possible that someone would report this bug?"
However, almost immediately, Bai Yi dismissed this possibility.
At least in this world for now, there shouldn't be many people who could get their hands on this kind of soldier package, the chance to draw from it.
Jun Lin, who got the First-tier first kill most likely has it, that Anonymous might have it too, Bai Yi hasn't heard any announcements from others, but it does not exclude other channels, even if there are, definitely not much!
And normally flipping cards like himself, lifting and then putting it back without looking to do something else, is rare.
So it's not impossible for others to find out, but at least for now, it should just be Bai Yi alone.
Even with the worst assumption, if someone really did find out, nobody would think about reporting this bug, after all, this is a stable source of golden items!
With this in mind, Bai Yi decided to study the gacha system first.
He immediately lifted every card at a small angle, sorting them into piles based on the color of the emitted light according to rarity, finally reaching a conclusion:
Both stacks contained 50 cards each; in the Advanced Pack, there were 2 golden cards, 8 purple cards, 15 blue and green cards each, with the remaining 10 being white cards.
In the regular pack, there was 1 golden card, 4 purple cards, 10 blue cards, 15 green cards, and 20 white cards.
The probabilities looked quite reasonable, at least more so than many gacha mobile games.
With the needed information sorted out, the next step was gambling.
There was only one golden Beetle card, no need to think too much about it, but for the Plant cards there were two golden cards, so he had to choose one of the two.
Leaving it to fate, Bai Yi randomly picked up the golden Plant card on the left, along with the golden Beetle card, and flipped them.
Brilliant golden light pierced Bai Yi's eyes, and just as his vision blurred, the table and remaining cards disappeared.
Thinking to himself that this was expected, Bai Yi then became excited, waiting for the golden glow to dissipate.
"Let me see, what do we have here~"
[You have opened a random Advanced Plant Species Pack, you obtained the [Endless Moss Culture Dish] (First-tier/Golden)]
[You have opened a random Insect Soldier Pack, you obtained the [Killing Giant Bee Hive Blueprint] (First-tier/Golden)]
[Endless Moss (First-tier/Golden): Moss with extremely strong reproductive ability, absorbing any encountered nutrients to convert into reproductive energy. Can use fresh blood and meat for accelerated growth.]
[Low Consumption Mode: Converts to low consumption mode when unable to obtain nutrients, sustaining life through photosynthesis.]
[Digestion Mode: When fresh blood and meat are acquired, will secrete a special digestive fluid, converting blood and meat into stored nutrients.]
[Killing Giant Bee Hive Blueprint (First-tier/Golden): After learning, can consume materials to produce [Killing Giant Bee Hive], required materials: Crystal Core (First-tier) *10, Honey *50, Wood *100, Stone *50, Fresh Blood Meat *50]
[Killing Giant Bee Hive (First-tier/Gold): Can consume fresh Blood Flesh to recruit (breed) [Killing Giant Bee], equipped with 1* Queen Bee and 5* Worker Bees, Recruitment cost: fresh Blood Flesh*1, honey*1]
After displaying their information, the two cards dissipated, but the card represented by Endless Moss left behind a transparent glass container holding a small piece of moss, which must be the so-called "Endless Moss".
"Is this actually given in physical form?"
Bai Yi attempted to use his superpower on it once and saw the gene entries that could be extracted from the moss.
They are photosynthesis, acid secretion, and Infinite Multiplication.
Although the moss itself doesn't seem very useful and is also hard to control, at least the gene entries are indeed good.
Unfortunately, because he had read several gene entries of other Mutant Creatures while looking for the giant boar earlier, his Magic Power had been exhausted.
He had only just recovered to 34 points, not enough to extract genetic features again, so he gave up for the time being.
"But having this thing out in the open is too dangerous. If I'm not careful and break this..."
Imagining the entire forest covered with moss, Bai Yi shuddered.
"Can I store it inside my panel?"
Bai Yi tried to put it into storage, and this time, unexpectedly, it succeeded in one go, unlike the Giant Boar Pork, which couldn't be stored.
Having solved a major problem, Bai Yi began to think about the next steps.
The most important thing, of course, is food and water.
Although he heard water today at the edge of the forest, going back there again, not to mention safety concerns, the raw water would need to be boiled before drinking.
Otherwise, once sick, there's no hospital or doctor here, and sickness would mean waiting for death.
But boiling water, currently, he has neither a pot nor fire, absolutely nothing to boil with.
"For now, I can only see if I can trade some of this meat for drinking water, and also exchange it for kindling and an iron pot.
Then I also need to get some stones and wood, and I need to purchase honey.
Sigh, the materials required for the rare soldiers are so tricky; it's enough that they use a lot of stones and wood, but they also demand things like First-tier Crystal Core and honey!
Geez, I hope that Hive can produce its own honey in the future; otherwise, without a stable source, producing soldiers are problematic.
Once purchased, I'll immediately start making the Bloodthirsty Beetle's Insect Nest.
The progress now is too slow; others might have already built their Barracks and started hunting monsters. I also need to speed up my development and start farming early."
Having settled on a plan, Bai Yi immediately took action, reopening the panel and entering the Free Market.
He uploaded all 637 units of pork on the ground; well, by now, another 7 units had been sneakily eaten by the giant banyan.
This time, it was directly from the roots stretching out from the bottom of the corpse until Bai Yi brushed his hand over the wild boar corpse placing it on the market; that little root was still swaying as if it hadn't understood what was happening.
Then Bai Yi divided his pork into 10 units, each unit sold separately, setting the trade information:
[Selling fresh Blood Flesh*1, price: wood*20/stone*40/honey*1]
Earlier, Bai Yi was just rushing to store the meat and had not noticed when uploading, the pork was automatically categorized and separated the viscera, with each part treated as an individual transaction.
And when selling, you can also set the name of the trading goods, but not deviate too absurdly, for instance, this pork can't be renamed to beef but can be called raw bacon.
With this feature at hand, Bai Yi conveniently used it, removing the sensitive information of Giant Boar Pork, changing it to fresh Blood Flesh.
But Bai Yi didn't immediately list it, instead, he first entered the channel.
Bai Yi was preparing to advertise for himself.
