When Xi Xi finally managed to retrieve the top-grade crystal treasure chest, Shaliman and Chu Zhiqin, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't contain their excitement and hurriedly gathered around.
Sallyman stared wide-eyed at the magnificent treasure chest she had never seen before, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
She cautiously reached out her hands and gently stroked the crystal-clear material of the treasure chest's outer shell, an overwhelming sense of joy welling up inside her.
"What's your fortune today?" Sallyman seemed to have thought of something important and suddenly frowned. "My fortune today is... bad... Ah, it doesn't seem like a good day to open the box."
"I'm just average, nothing special," Chu Zhiqin said somewhat awkwardly.
So, the two of them turned to look at Xi Xi.
This reminder made Xi Xi suddenly realize a problem – she had completely forgotten about something as important as signing in!
From the very beginning of this morning, she devoted herself entirely to writing.
In my eagerness to draw the ointment for my mother, I completely forgot about signing in.
So it turns out that her thrilling fight with Jingliu just now was actually in a primitive state without the various enhancements brought by "Miracle Pen Blessing"...
Xi Xi's mind was still focused on yesterday's "Good Fortune" fortune slip, completely unaware that she was catching a blade bare-handed like an ordinary player.
She hurriedly summoned the light screen and quickly opened the daily check-in interface.
The lottery tube in the light screen began to shake violently. At this moment, not only was Xi Xi herself extremely nervous, but the other two pairs of eyes were also staring intently at the light screen in front of Xi Xi without blinking or looking to the side.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, eagerly awaiting the moment the results would be revealed.
Under the anxious gazes of Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman, an ominous "Extremely Fierce" divination stick, like a black lightning bolt, pierced through the light barrier and fell straight down, appearing openly before everyone's eyes.
[Game Notice: Congratulations, adventurer, for obtaining the Extremely Fierce Fortune Sign. For today, your luck will be reduced by 10, and your constitution, strength, agility, and critical hit rate will each be reduced by 2. Additionally, you will receive the debuff for one day.]
Chu Zhiqin: "..."
Sallyman: "..."
All around was quiet, and everyone fell silent.
Xi Xi: "..."
Hey, no, everyone, I'm usually not this unlucky...
Damn it... of all times, why did it have to happen today, right after I got the Crystal Treasure Chest?!
Xi Xi originally wanted to say something to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, and she took a small step forward.
But after only two steps, her left foot somehow tripped over her right foot!
With a gasp, Xi Xi lost her balance and fell straight to the ground.
This scene was so sudden that everyone present was stunned.
No way!? Huh?? Her sense of balance isn't that bad!?!
Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman were terrified and quickly stepped forward to help Xi Xi up.
Xi Xi herself was also astonished, secretly lamenting her misfortune.
Seeing Xi Xi's embarrassed expression, Shaliman quickly smoothed things over: "I've drawn the extremely unlucky fortune slip before, it reduces your luck value by 10 points, so you'd better be careful today! Thinking back, I used to choke on even a sip of cold water..."
Xi Xi was clearly not comforted. She couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. Damn it, what kind of unlucky team are they? Even the most unlucky ones have been drawn by more than one person...
"Uh... well, how about you, Auntie, handle the treasure chest, haha..." Sallyman gave an awkward smile as she spoke, glancing at Chu Zhiqin.
After all, among the three of them, although Xi's mother's fortune was only insignificantly average, it was still many times better than the other two, one of whom had an inauspicious fortune and the other even had an extremely inauspicious fortune...
Just as Xi Xi was secretly complaining about how this damned light screen didn't give her any face, suddenly, the crisp and pleasant notification sound of "Blessings from the Wise Pen" rang in her ears.
[A stroke of good fortune: Congratulations, host, on obtaining an extremely inauspicious divination slip . Even on an extremely inauspicious day with an extremely low probability of occurrence, you've managed to encounter one—isn't that a stroke of luck? Today's fortune has been transformed into great fortune for free.]
Is this for real?!
Xi Xi was almost in tears. She sincerely apologized for her outburst that morning when the "Miaobi Shengfu" app failed to recognize the ointment.
Oh dear, it turns out I was blind to your greatness! A wave of joy surged through Xi Xi's heart. Her expression remained calm, but she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
This extremely unlucky divination slip was actually better than the unlucky one; it turned into a very lucky one without any effort on my part!
Xi Xi absolutely loves this "After the darkest hour comes the dawn" fortune slip; it truly embodies the saying, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you."
Just as Xi's mother was about to open the crystal treasure chest, Xi Xi hurriedly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Wait!"
Chu Zhiqin looked over in surprise, and Shaliman straightened up, equally puzzled.
After a brief moment of consideration, Xi Xi quickly came up with a reasonably plausible excuse in her mind and said, "I think we should dry ourselves off first. It's so cold here, and if we get sick, it would be a huge loss."
Xi Xi gave Chu Zhiqin a meaningful look, and then said, "Yesterday I had a hard time finding any ointment in the lobby, let alone fever reducers or cold medicine..."
This seemed to make a lot of sense, and Sallyman couldn't help but nod with a serious expression.
Chu Zhiqin understood Xi Xi's gaze and immediately replied:
"Alright. If we find some hot food in the treasure chest, we can dry it off and eat comfortably. Everyone's all wet and disheveled, it looks too pathetic... Let's consider this treasure chest the prize for our victory celebration today!"
