Chapter 036: Draw the Blind Box
The chainsaws and lawn mowers of interstellar civilizations are much more user-friendly than modern ones.
It works completely silently and smoothly. A chainsaw can cut down a tree so thick that one person can hug it in just a few minutes. A lawn mower can be pushed all the way across without any effort to create a path large enough for two people to walk side by side.
The cleared weeds will not fly everywhere, but will be neatly stacked on both sides like cut rice. You can just pick them up and throw them away. How convenient!
The villagers were first surprised by the moving machine, and then they were amazed by its convenience and said, "This is so easy to use!"
“This is a divine weapon!”
Audience in the live broadcast room: Not really, not really. We all use intelligent robots. These tools are only used on marginal planets. They are unsaleable goods in the Star Alliance.
Li Tie said excitedly: "With these magical tools, efficiency will definitely be greatly improved!"
Lu Xuan nodded, then handed the three chainsaws to Lei Yan, Li Jing and Zhang Chengming, and the lawn mower to Lu Qing and Miao Jinfeng.
Li Jing fondly stroked the chainsaw. Seeing Lu Xuan's empty hands, he asked, "Where's yours?"
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "I don't need it."
Lei Yan thought he had only exchanged three, so he quickly handed the one in his hand back. "I won't use it. The machete is also very useful."
Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "I really can't use it."
Does he look so selfless?
He picked up a machete and found a tree nearby. He aimed at the trunk near the roots and chopped it hard. The machete slashed from the left side to the right side of the trunk as easily as cutting tofu. The tall tree was chopped off in an instant!
Chopping down a tree in half an hour? Impossible.
It only takes Lu Xuan three seconds to chop down a tree. He picks up the machete, cuts it horizontally, and stops. That's it.
Everyone: “!!!”
Lu Xuan said to everyone, "See, I told you it wouldn't be useful."
Everyone: “…”
Three seconds versus several minutes, the chainsaw was indeed a bit redundant for him.
Zhang Chengming came back to his senses and patted Lu Xuan's shoulder excitedly, saying, "Good boy! You have incredible strength now. You can even chop down such a thick tree with one stroke!"
Li Jing nodded in agreement, "That's amazing!"
After Lu Xuan's demonstration, the two stopped persuading each other. Li Tie clapped his hands and urged everyone to start working quickly.
With the new machetes and chainsaws, and Lu Xuan as a walking plug-in, the tree-cutting process was much faster than expected. In less than an hour, all the trees under the giant tree were cut down.
Among them, except for the three people with chainsaws who cut down more than twenty trees in total, the others only cut down two trees on average, and the remaining trees were basically cut down by Lu Xuan.
And most of the time is spent waiting for others to move the felled trees away.
If he just focused on chopping down trees without caring about anything else, he could probably finish everything by himself in less than a quarter of an hour.
After the tree is cut down, all that needs to be done is to uproot the remaining stump and fill the hole again.
Without the main trunk, which takes up most of the weight, this step is much easier than cutting down a tree.
It can be said that with Lu Xuan's help, they directly reduced their workload by 80%.
How many days will it take to finish?
No, they can finish all the remaining work today!
Seeing that Lu Xuan still wanted to continue helping to dig roots, Li Tie hurriedly said: "You have done a lot, let others do the rest of the work, you go and take a rest."
Others have no objection to this.
They felt relieved when Lu Xuan did all the work, but if you think about it from another angle, doesn't it also make them seem useless?
I didn’t do much work, so how could I have the nerve to eat more at noon?
Lu Xuan readily said, "Then I'll take a break."
Of course he wouldn't rush to work if he could take a break. It just so happened that the audience in the live broadcast room kept urging him to open the blind box quickly, so it would be nice to take a look before lunch.
Lu Xuan put away the machete in his hand and walked towards the rest area set up by everyone under the giant tree. There, not only were there young children running around and playing, but there were also several elderly grandmothers boiling water so that the workers could replenish their water at any time when they were thirsty.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a bag of sugar and handed it to Granny Lin. "Pour this sugar into the water to give everyone some sugar."
Grandma Lin felt a little distressed when she looked at the snow-white sugar, but she still smiled and nodded, and poured all the sugar into several buckets of cooling water in front of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took a look and walked to a thick root exposed on the surface of a giant tree not far away, and clicked on the system mall.
【Is it finally time to draw the blind box? 】
[I'm getting impatient, please hurry up! If you keep tantalizing us, I'll unfollow you!]
[Stop talking nonsense and start pumping! ]
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Why rush? Isn't it about to start?"
This time he really didn't keep everyone in suspense, and simply gave out the free ten-pull bonus for the achievement.
Buying a blind box is different from buying other products. For other products, the items will appear directly in Lu Xuan's hands after clicking to purchase them. For blind boxes, a list box of the drawn products will appear, and the items will be delivered only after confirmation.
The list of free ten-draw draws soon appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
[Ordinary Blind Box 10-Piece Combo: 35 points, 103 points, 65 points, 82 points, 122 points, 10 original nutritional supplements, 1000g orange-flavored hard candy, adult starry sky cotton set, 500ml insect repellent, 100 rolls of toilet paper.]
The mall provides a function for calculating the total value of blind boxes. Lu Xuan clicked it and saw that the total value of this ten-pack was just over one thousand points.
...Is this good luck or bad luck?
The audience in the live broadcast room quickly gave him the answer.
[Hahaha, the streamer's luck doesn't seem to be that great. I've seen other streamers get a top-value item directly after a free ten-draw combo.]
[The cap on regular blind boxes is 10,000, which is too low. However, the drop rate set by Star Alliance for blind boxes is quite high, and you can usually get something worth at least 2,000 points. The host is really quite good.]
Lu Xuan's brows twitched.
He is not? How is it possible?
Hadn't he played enough card-drawing games before the apocalypse? He wasn't a super-lucky person, but he certainly wasn't any less lucky either.
To take a step back, even if he is really not, haven't you heard of spending money to change your fate?
There is no good thing for free, only the good things that come with real money!
After Lu Xuan put the things he drew into the space, he returned to the blind box page and used his points to make a ten-draw bet.
[Ordinary Blind Box 10-Piece Combo: 220 points, 105 points, 318 points, 140 points, a box of 50 nutritional supplements, a life jacket, a first aid kit, a single sleeping bag, 500g of energy liquid, and a multi-functional engineer shovel.]
The total value of points and goods is 2433, more than double the previous time.
Lu Xuan curled the corners of his lips.
[Pfft, I don't know what the streamer is so happy about. It's just barely above average, not that bad.]
Lu Xuan: Perform the smile disappearing technique on the spot.
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, "What can you prove with only ten consecutive draws? Keep drawing."
He was too lazy to do it ten after ten, so he just did it a hundred times in one go.
[Ordinary Blind Box 10-pack: 66 points, 123 points, 312 points, 20 nutritional supplements...]
[Ten consecutive draws of regular blind boxes: 142 points, 50 points, 510 points, 78 points...]
[Ordinary blind box ten consecutive: points...]
If you draw ten times in a row, you will get so many things that it will be dizzying.
Among them, there are more than 40 points drawn.
Lu Xuan skipped the points and counted the items he had drawn.
Nutrients of different specifications*12, fruit candies and milk candies of different specifications*5, mineral salt 500g*3, insect repellent 500ml*2, household medicine*3, primary energy stone*3, large bottle of sunscreen spray*3, lip balm 10 pack*5, toilet paper of different specifications*3, basic biological clothing*2, single tent*1, family tent*2, double blanket*2, high-intensity flashlight, cold weapons*5, 5 cubic space rings*2, fluorescent sticks 50*2, remote control toy car*1, 100-meter light string*1.
Among them, the more valuable ones are primary energy stones, biological clothes, and space rings. The others are worth at most two or three hundred points, or 100 points to barely maintain a balance between income and expenditure.
There are also a few unprofitable products that cannot even recover the original investment.
However, the total value finally settled was over 15,000, so I still made a profit overall.
[Drawing a hundred times in a row is really exciting! ]
[A truly lucky person would get at least three, five, or even ten times the amount, but the streamer is still not lucky enough.]
[The host's luck isn't the best, but it's not bad either, it's pretty good.]
[I'm really unlucky, I'm going to ask the anchor for good luck! ]
Even though some people mentioned earlier that other anchors have won capped products, that is only a very small number after all. According to big data, the majority still suffer losses, even if there is a guaranteed minimum.
You read that right. There is also a guarantee of a hundred draws in the blind box game. Lu Xuan’s guaranteed draw this time is one of the two biological suits.
Therefore, most of the audience were quite satisfied with Lu Xuan's card drawing results.
Many people also asked Lu Xuan whether he wanted to continue smoking.
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I will draw, but this time I won't draw a regular blind box, I'll draw a silver one."
What’s the point of always drawing cheap ones? The more expensive the blind box, the more valuable the items you draw will be.
However, the silver blind box is a bit expensive after all. One draw is equivalent to the price of a basic biological suit. Even though Lu Xuan spent his points lavishly, he did not go for a hundred consecutive draws this time. Instead, he did ten consecutive draws just for the sake of showing his respect.
[Silver Blind Box Ten-Piece Combo: 550 points, 1080 points, 3205 points, 1306 points, Smart Kettle, 10-cubic-meter Space Ring, Pressure Cooker, Basic Bio-Coat, Tranquilizer Gun, 50-cubic-meter Space Ring.]
Lu Xuan whistled.
As expected, the price increased tenfold, and the quality of the items drawn was a level higher.
In just ten consecutive draws, I got two space rings, as well as good things like biological clothing and anesthetic guns.
Kettles and pressure cookers are also very practical household appliances. One can avoid having to light a fire to drink boiled water in hot weather, while the other can greatly save time in making soup or stewing.
The total value of the items this time is more than 13,000 yuan. The profit is not as much as that of a hundred-piece ordinary blind box, but except for the space ring and biological clothing, the others are unlocked products. Compared with the value, the usefulness is more important. Lu Xuan is still quite satisfied.
The audience was a little disappointed, because these things are very practical for the anchor, but in the eyes of the interstellar people, they are just common things in their daily lives and there is nothing special about them.
Lu Xuan didn't care about their thoughts and just did another ten consecutive hits.
