Chapter 88 Return with a Full Load
The darker the place, the easier it is to find light.
It wasn't long before Ivis found a large patch of white flash hidden in the rubble inside the cave.
These white flashes are sometimes dazzling, sometimes dim, sometimes constantly glowing, and sometimes flashing intermittently at a certain frequency.
A rough count revealed that there were dozens of these white lights the size of finger joints.
In other words... the probability of randomly drawing new materials is very low?
Elvis glanced from left to right, and suddenly his eyes stopped at a certain place: a tiny thing that was almost imperceptible, very dim compared to other "white flashes", but still insisted on shining.
He reached out and touched the small piece of white.
The next second, the small object disappeared, replaced by the items in his virtual backpack. He controlled his consciousness and magnified it a little—it was a cooking diagram with food drawn on it, and it looked very delicious.
His backpack's grid also changed from 0/50 to 1/50. It seemed that the space in his backpack was limited, and he could only carry a maximum of 50 materials when leaving the island.
"Mr. Ace, are you stockpiling materials?" Tong Wanwan also saw the large white flash and asked curiously, "What did you draw?"
Ivis opened his palm, materialized the items in the virtual backpack, and handed it to her.
A hint of anticipation flashed in his slightly sharp eyes.
Could this be the new blueprint Wanwan needs?
Tong Wanwan took the blueprint and, with the help of the "fluorescent light" on her body, saw the contents clearly. She was slightly stunned. Surprise was evident on her face: "Mr. Ace! You're amazing! You got a new blueprint in one go!"
She had a rough understanding of cooking drawings before, and this one was indeed a food recipe she had never seen before.
It seems that the man has found one of the 10 new cooking drawings limited to Yelson Island this month.
This kind of good luck is like drawing an SSR lucky card as the first card when the game is launched. It is really enviable.
Tong Wanwan happily unfolded it and handed it back, "Keep it well. The new blueprint is very precious. Don't lose it."
Elvis: “…”
He didn't reach out to take it. "It's for you."
"Give it to me?" Tong Wanwan was startled. "I can smoke it myself."
She patiently explained, "If Mr. Ace doesn't need the cooking recipes, he can bring them back to Graton and exchange them for high gold coins from the NPC. If you're not in a hurry to use the money, you can also put them up for auction in the player store, where you can get a higher price."
Don't you need his...?
Ives dropped his eyelids.
From Tong Wanwan's perspective, the Marshal, who was much taller than her, had his eyes lowered and his lips pursed. She felt as if she were hallucinating, as if she saw two white lion ears sprouting from the man's head, drooping low.
...Mr. Marshal is unhappy?
Tong Wanwan frowned, and the words she was about to say took an inexplicable turn. "However, Mr. Ace, you can make a deal with me. I can exchange the other new blueprints I found for the cooking blueprints I need, is that okay?"
Elvis' eyes lit up: "Okay."
Exchange... It sounds more meaningful than his unilateral gift just now.
Moreover, it won't burden her.
Seeing that he agreed, Tong Wanwan put the cooking drawings into her backpack.
"I got the first 'white flash', that's really amazing." Tong Wanwan murmured as she approached the flash.
Like Elvis, she scanned from left to right.
However, she observed more carefully.
Perhaps her many explorations had given her a subtle grasp of the "mystery of card drawing"—cards that were too bright, or dim to the point of disappearing, were less likely to be special materials. A more likely occurrence was a flickering white light.
Her metaphysics relies on the number of flash cycles and brightness to determine whether it is likely to be a high-grade material.
Continuous low-brightness flashes have a 90% chance of being low-grade materials; three small flashes and one large flash are the most commonly used ordinary materials; if you look more carefully, you will find irregular, small-amplitude flashes with one or two large flashes occasionally. This type of "white flash" has a 25% chance of being the precious high-grade materials and drawings they are looking for.
As for why it is so specific to 90%, 25%...
Of course, it depends on the tests that have been done.
However, her "metaphysics" didn't always work. Occasionally, she would see a very pleasing, very bright, and very eye-catching "white flash" and it would reveal special materials.
Tong Wanwan paused and reached out to touch the small white light that was farthest away from her but that she had been looking at the longest.
The next second, she opened her palm and, as expected, drew a high-level blueprint, which was limited edition furniture for Yelson Island.
"Mr. Ace! Here you go." She handed the blueprint over. "It's a gift of reciprocity."
This time, Elvis did not refuse.
"Lily, I found a new mineral." Tong Wanwan discovered another one.
"Thank you, Wanwan," Lili said, already accustomed to her good luck. "I'll transfer the gold coins to you when I get back."
The three of them searched the cave for a while and felt that they had found enough, so they started to head to the next exploration point.
The time immersed in the game is always long and short.
They passed through the dark forest, waded in the shallow stream, walked across the half-moon stone bridge, and touched the stars on the hillside.
Only when their backpacks were full and the agreed time for the five of them had arrived did they head towards the Dejima Pier.
"Wanwan! Lily! Mr. Ace!" At the dock, Davina and Tracy were already waiting there.
There was a genuine smile on the blonde girl's face, and it was obvious that their group had gained a lot.
When cute girls get together, the atmosphere is always lively——
Davina: "Wanwan, how much did you find this time?"
Tong Wanwan recalled: "We found 5 new furniture blueprints, 3 new cooking methods, and 8 new minerals."
"Oh right!" Like a child saving the cream for last on a cake, she boasted with rare excitement, "Mr. Ace also found a limited edition building! That's awesome!"
Davina's eyes widened in disbelief: "New architectural drawings?!"
There are only 5 building blueprints in the entire Yelson Island, and today is the first day of opening the new map. The number of people who have landed on the island in their server has reached the limited number of people - 4,000. Among the exploration of thousands of people, only one of the five was found. How terrifying is this luck?
but……
Davina tilted her head: "Wanwan, the new building was drawn by Mr. Ace, why are you happier than him?" If you didn't know, you would have thought she drew it herself.
“…Huh?” Tong Wanwan glanced sideways and realized that her two teammates had calm expressions. Only she was so happy that she wanted to spin in circles.
Elvis paused belatedly, seeming to be lost in thought.
Even Tracy was stunned. It was the first time he had seen Wanwan smile so openly and brightly, completely different from the gentle smile she would show to her pets at home.
For a moment, just like when they came, the five people fell into a brief, subtle silence.
This time, there was no need for the 1551 system's "explanation", even Tong Wanwan herself felt embarrassed.
There is also a hint of belated realization...shame.
