Chapter 498: 【Fate Card — Debauchery】, Yu Yuan's Dilemma |
— Azure Cruise Ship: Ranking 629 from bottom
— Alz Highway Vehicle: Ranking 852 from bottom
— Z007 Shelter: Ranking 978 from bottom
None of the three players had particularly low rankings.
Based on Yu Yuan's speculations, these three players should have just recently advanced to Bronze Rank.
Otherwise, given the characteristics of civilization shards, their strength shouldn't be this low.
Yu Yuan realized that he had to activate the advancement mission before these three dropped out of the bottom 1,000.
Based on Yu Yuan's speculation, these three players should have just recently advanced to Bronze Rank.
In the end, his gaze settled on Z007 Shelter.
Advancing to Bronze Rank was critical, and choosing a familiar model was the wisest decision.
Of course, there was another reason: Yu Yuan was quite interested in the civilization shard from 【Mechanical Scrapyard Planet】.
From the name alone, this world clearly had plenty of mechanical junk.
And coincidentally, Yu Yuan's 【Mechanical Titan Base Unit】 had the ability to turn waste into treasure.
This 【Mechanical Scrapyard Planet】 might also be a decent resource world for machinery and metal.
"Z007's ranking is about to leave the bottom 1,000... can't delay any longer. Once the Endless Cold Wave enters its third phase, I have to advance as soon as possible."
However...
"But first, I need to complete the vampire traceability ritual..."
If he hadn't obtained the 【Scepter of Life】, he could start the ritual right now.
But now that he had the 【Scepter of Life】, Yu Yuan naturally planned to build the 【Altar of Life】 before conducting the summoning ritual.
And the 【Altar of Life】 would also serve as the main venue for future mystic rituals.
However, building the 【Altar of Life】 required several conditions to be met.
Survival Points, Spirituality Concentrate, and one Silver-tier Lifeform.
The first two were manageable.
For the Silver-tier Lifeform, Yu Yuan thought of Knight, who was imprisoned.
He had originally planned to recruit him, but compared to the effects of the 【Altar of Life】...
If he had to consume a Silver-tier Lifeform, Knight was the best choice.
Additionally, building the 【Altar of Life】 could consume one 【Luxury Card】 or 【Slaughter Card】 not exceeding Silver-tier.
Yu Yuan naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
As long as his luck wasn't ridiculously bad, he shouldn't draw a Gold-tier card!
Silver-tier was no longer a problem for him either.
With that thought, the Fate Wooden Box appeared before Yu Yuan.
The same classic maxim followed.
It had been a long time since he last drew from Fate's Gift, and Yu Yuan felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.
Nervous because he feared the Fate's Gift might be too good, and excited because he had no idea what kind of 'blind box' he'd open this time.
When the maxim dissipated, Fate's Gift slowly emerged.
After seeing the first Fate's Gift, Yu Yuan's suspended heart instantly dropped.
"It's in the bag!"
— Upgrade: Bountiful Vegetable Basket → Fruit and Vegetable Harvest Shelf
Function: Randomly produces 4-5 types of fruits and vegetables daily, with a chance of double quantity and a small chance of special fruits and vegetables
— Aromatic Wine Barrel
Function: Leave still water in the barrel for 12 hours, and it will transform into aromatic fine wine.
— Never Empty-Handed Fishing Rod
Function: If three consecutive fishing attempts yield nothing, the fourth attempt is guaranteed to catch something.
Seeing that there was an upgrade option for 【Bountiful Vegetable Basket】, Yu Yuan knew that this Fate's Gift would most likely be Bronze-tier.
Though not his most hoped-for Silver-tier.
Bronze-tier was still pretty good!
Not only would he receive a Fate's Gift.
The mission completion difficulty was also relatively low.
Very simple.
His gaze moved across the three Fate's Gifts.
The first option, Yu Yuan directly eliminated. This Fate's Gift had appeared before, and last time he had chosen 【Yakov's Nest】.
There was even less reason to choose it now.
With the Giant Tree World, the Bountiful Vegetable Basket's help to him was already very limited.
The second option actually tempted Yu Yuan a bit.
【Black Dog Underground Bar】 just happened to need fine wine, and this barrel could serve a purpose.
But Yu Yuan already had the 【Beverage Generator】, and the two effects somewhat overlapped.
Finally, Yu Yuan's gaze fell on the 【Never Empty-Handed Fishing Rod】.
"Guaranteed catch on the fourth try? A concept-type item..." Yu Yuan made his choice.
— Never Empty-Handed Fishing Rod
A delicate fishing rod appeared in Yu Yuan's hand.
The rod was entirely azure blue, dotted with tiny golden specks, quite pleasing to the eye.
Yu Yuan smiled as he weighed it in his hand, then stored it in the Rabbit Ring.
He had a feeling this fishing rod would help him in the future.
He felt increasingly satisfied with this Fate's Gift.
"I wonder what card it will be this time."
On the Virtual Light Screen, the Fate Card draw was also complete.
A green Bronze-tier card slowly emerged.
Sure enough, it was Bronze-tier.
Related information appeared as well.
【This Fate Card — Debauchery】
【Debauchery Card, Quality 'Bronze-tier'. The player must indulge in primal desires with a 'Bronze-tier' creature within 7 days, otherwise the player will die】
(Reminder: What choice will you make? So hard to guess!)
The smile at the corners of Yu Yuan's mouth stiffened, then twitched slightly.
He couldn't laugh at all anymore.
"What the hell!"
An intense urge to complain surged within him.
Slaughter, Conquest, Luxury, Debauchery.
Among the four types of Fate Cards, Debauchery was the one Yu Yuan found most headache-inducing.
It wasn't that he was some chaste saint, but rather that he had psychological trauma from it.
He rubbed his temples in frustration.
No use overthinking it.
The Fate Card had already been drawn; regret wasn't an option.
He needed to figure out how to complete it—that was the main concern.
Thankfully, it wasn't Silver-tier or Gold-tier Debauchery. Since it was only Bronze-tier, it wouldn't be too hard to complete.
He could easily find a Bronze-tier woman.
If it had been Silver-tier, that would have been truly baffling.
The only Silver-tier individuals he currently had were the vampire Hammond and the Orthodox Church Bishop Knight.
He couldn't even imagine how stimulating and cringe-worthy that scene would be.
"Bronze-tier..."
Yu Yuan began searching his mind for who to use to complete the mission.
"You can't indulge with the same target twice. Qingqing is out of the question. That leaves others..."
The first person Yu Yuan thought of was Mona.
She had been injected with the 【Cheetah Genetic Modification Serum】, making her a genuine Bronze-tier Lifeform.
She absolutely met the requirements and was the most suitable candidate.
"How do I even bring this up?"
Yu Yuan felt a headache coming on.
