Chapter 34 It's all a routine, everyone loves security doors
There are five types of blind boxes: regular blind boxes, silver blind boxes, gold blind boxes, platinum blind boxes, and finally, black and gold blind boxes.
Different blind boxes have different prices, and the value of the items that can be drawn also varies. The more expensive the blind box, the more valuable the items that can be drawn.
A regular blind box costs only 100 points and can contain items worth between 10 and 10,000 points.
A Silver Blind Box costs 1,000 points and can yield items worth between 100 and 100,000 points.
A gold blind box costs 10,000 points and can contain items worth between 1,000 and 1 million points.
A diamond blind box costs 100,000 points and can yield items worth between 10,000 and 10 million points.
One Black Gold Blind Box costs one million points and can yield items worth anywhere from one hundred thousand points to an uncapped value. In other words, it's possible to obtain top-tier warships worth hundreds of millions, or even billions of points.
In addition to these specific items, blind boxes can also yield varying amounts of points, with the specific amount corresponding to the value of the items that can be drawn from each registered blind box.
In addition, the items revealed by blind boxes are not limited to currently unlocked products. In other words, if there is a product that he wants but has not yet unlocked, he can try to obtain it by opening blind boxes.
Lu Xuan: "..."
It's all a routine, a routine.
If you really expect to get what you want by drawing from blind boxes, you'll probably go bankrupt.
Moreover, the drop rate of those so-called million-dollar, multi-million-dollar items is outrageously low. You might only get one top-tier item if you open ten thousand blind boxes, and even that's just a possibility.
Furthermore, whether it's warships or ordinary civilian spaceships, none of the daily discounts so far have been worth less than ten million, which means that only diamond blind boxes offer the possibility of obtaining spaceships.
Currently, he has only unlocked the regular blind boxes and the silver blind boxes. Higher-level blind boxes require spending over one million yuan to unlock.
Therefore, high-end interstellar goods are still out of his reach for the time being.
On the other hand, in this age of interstellar civilization, it's unbelievable that gacha games, those lousy things used to fleece people, are still popular.
Why not properly inherit the genuine and worthy culture, and instead keep this rubbish?
Lu Xuan clicked his tongue in disdain, but his finger honestly moved to the purchase button for regular blind boxes.
Just as his finger was about to press down, the movement suddenly paused slightly.
No, you can't smoke.
At least not now.
This kind of activity, which requires gambling, should pique the interest of viewers in the live stream.
Since you're going to take a cut either way, you naturally have to find a way to maximize your profits.
If he really has bad luck, at least he can make up for it by increasing the popularity of his live stream.
Thinking this, Lu Xuan suppressed his interest in the blind box, only taking out the other reward, the tranquilizer gun, and playing with it in his hand for a while to learn how to use it before closing his eyes.

That night, the villagers in the cave were exhausted, tossing and turning because they were worried about the earthquake that day. They couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and even if they managed to fall asleep, their dreams were full of bizarre and fantastical things that made them frown.
Even so, their current situation is already among the best of all the disaster victims in the world.
As Lu Xuan had said before, this catastrophe spread across the entire continental plate. Whether it was the country they were in or other large and small countries and tribes in the surrounding area, they all experienced earthquakes with an average magnitude of eight.
Countless towns and villages were reduced to ruins. Countless people were killed by collapsing houses or swallowed by cracks in the ground without any warning. Within minutes of the earthquake, the death toll exceeded one million, including many nobles.
Those in power were too busy to care for themselves, and many sections of the official roads between the capital and the provinces were broken, severing the means of communication between them.
As temperatures soared, food rotted faster, supplies became scarce and unreplenished, and amidst mounting panic, more and more survivors lost their composure and began resorting to any means necessary to survive.
The government's functions have almost completely ceased, the state is practically non-existent, and for a long time to come, the whole world will be plunged into chaos.
However, the villagers of Yunlu Village are currently unaware of all this.
All they can do right now is take care of themselves and start exploring their new life living deep in the mountains from tomorrow.
·
The next morning, as the sky began to lighten, the people of Yunlu Village gradually woke up.
Seeing that Lu Chen kept yawning, Lu Xuan said, "You can sleep a little longer."
Lu Chen shook his head. "No need. There will definitely be work to be done in the village later, and I need to help out."
The two brothers stepped out of the room, just as Lei Yan opened the security door to ventilate the cave, and a wave of scorching air rushed in.
Lu Xuan opened the system and checked the time and temperature displayed on the weather app.
At 6:00 AM, the real-time temperature was 32 degrees Celsius.
Summer temperatures here are not as high as they are now, and it is located in a northern region. Even at the hottest time of day, the temperature is at most 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. Nowadays, the temperature is already over 30 degrees Celsius before the sun has fully risen, and the highest temperature at noon today reached 39 degrees Celsius, approaching 40 degrees Celsius.
Clearly, the first signs of extreme weather following the catastrophe have already begun to emerge.
Lu Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, but he regained his composure after a moment. He opened the live stream and greeted the viewers who kept pouring in, while washing up outside the cave with water he had prepared in advance yesterday and the X facial cleanser and toothbrush he had bought from the mall.
As soon as he rolled up his sleeves, sharp-eyed viewers noticed the change in the inlaid bracelet.
Did the streamer spend money after their broadcast yesterday?
[Yesterday, so many people showered the streamer with gifts. Given the streamer's tendency to spend money on points and spend whatever they have, how could they possibly not spend any?]
[Finally, all the gem slots are full. As a perfectionist, I feel so good!]
[What else did the streamer buy? You made so much money yesterday, you couldn't have just bought a few space beads, could you? That's not like you!]
Lu Xuan casually tucked his wet hair behind his head, glanced at the screen, and said, "I was waiting for you guys to arrive before I spent the money."
As he spoke, while many female viewers were captivated by his unintentional gesture, he opened the online store page and shared the view with them.
The two lit-up blind box product displays immediately attracted everyone's attention.
【Wow! They've unlocked the blind box concept so quickly!】
[I remember that you need to spend 100,000 points to get the blind box, and considering what the streamer has bought in the store so far, he has definitely reached that goal.]
[I've already earned over a million star coins in less than a month since I linked to the system, that's impressive!]
[Blind boxes are another major highlight of live streaming, besides food broadcasts!]
Blind boxes! Blind boxes! Hurry and open a blind box!
Come on! Place your bets and guess whether the streamer is lucky or unlucky!
Based on the streamer's performance so far, they're definitely incredibly lucky, need I say more?
Skill and luck are two different things. Whether you're a lucky player or not, you'll only know after you try your luck.
[Hurry up and draw lots, streamer!]
Lu Xuan said leisurely, "What's the rush? Let's eat breakfast first."
Live stream viewers: We can't smell it or eat it, what are we supposed to eat! Hurry up and open a blind box!
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow: You can't eat it, but I can.
Lu Xuan slammed his hand on the table: "Eat breakfast first."
Live stream viewers: !!!
Although the Lu family ate what Lu Xuan had stockpiled this morning, they didn't eat in the small cave this time to fit in. Instead, they ate in front of the large cave with the other villagers who were busy preparing breakfast.
The viewers in the live stream were thinking to themselves, "They're eating dry rations while you're eating big meat buns. Are you sure you're just trying to fit in and not deliberately picking a fight?"
Fortunately, after many previous experiences, most of the villagers had given up comparing themselves to the Lu family, and besides, their minds were not on breakfast at all at this moment.
How did you all sleep last night?
"What's the point of sleeping? There are snorers and teeth grinding all around me. It's so noisy it's unbearable."
“Snoring is nothing. Didn’t you hear the wolf howling last night? And the calls of some other animal, that was really scary.”
"My family was really unlucky. The spot we drew was close to the cave entrance. Besides the roars of beasts, we could also hear the leaves and grass rustling in the wind. The noise from all directions never stopped. I didn't dare close my eyes all night. I didn't even dare to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. I held it in until dawn."
“I was so tired from traveling yesterday that I fell asleep and didn’t hear the wolves howling much, but I was woken up several times by nightmares. In my dream, my family couldn’t get to the mountain to take refuge in time, and when the earthquake came, we were directly buried under the collapsed house. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t break free…”
Everyone fell silent.
It's not just one person who has nightmares; among them, nine out of ten who finally manage to fall asleep dream of fleeing and howling like ghosts during earthquakes.
Who wouldn't be terrified after witnessing a massive earthquake that swallowed up their entire village in the blink of an eye?
As they talked, everyone couldn't help but look enviously at Lu Xuan and his companions, who were clearly refreshed and in good spirits.
They were so lucky; the cave entrance was blocked by a door sent by the gods, so they didn't have to worry about wild animals at all, and they didn't need to leave anyone to keep watch at night, so they could sleep soundly.
Unlike them, who didn't sleep well all night, they all looked listless, as if their life force had been drained by a fox spirit from the mountains.
If I have to live in constant fear like this every day, even the strongest body couldn't take it.
Lu Qing and Lei Yan knew that anything they said at this moment would sound like they were talking without understanding the situation, so they tacitly remained silent.
Lu Xuan noticed that they kept glancing towards the security door, and some even whispered among themselves to Li Tie, who was sitting not far away. He began to have some guesses in his mind.
Sure enough, Li Tie soon came over and asked him, "Hey, I heard from other people that you can help us make a door like the one in your cave, is that true?"
Lu Xuan nodded, "Yes, but the price isn't low. Are you sure you want it?"
Li Tie sighed and said, "What can we do? There are countless wolves and tigers in the deep mountains. It's too dangerous. Although nothing happened last night, we can't guarantee that wild animals won't come to attack us at night."
Our village only has a little over a hundred people, with no more than fifty or sixty able-bodied adults. If we encounter danger, someone will definitely get injured. There's a lack of medical care and medicine in the deep mountains, and there's no doctor in the village. Once someone is injured, they can only wait to die. It's better to take advantage of our ability and prepare everything we need.”
This is the time when every household has the most food. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to replace those security doors, we'll only be more reluctant to spend our food and supplies as they dwindle.
Li Tie asked with some concern, "You want a thousand catties of grain? Can't we have coarse rice or coarse flour? Won't the gods find that unappetizing?"
Lu Xuan: "I first exchanged the items with the immortals, and I also accepted the grain given to me by the village."
In other words, regardless of whether he used coarse or fine grains to exchange for the door with the gods, the village only needed to give him coarse grains; he wouldn't complain.
Upon hearing this, Li Tie was immediately relieved and gratefully said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
He hadn't considered whether Lu Xuan would take a kickback. The other party in the transaction was a god; he wouldn't even dare to think about taking a kickback.
After the agreement was reached, Li Tie took advantage of the time when everyone gathered together for breakfast and loudly announced the news.
