He bought all five cards he needed, then rolled for more; still needing more, he bought more...
"It's magic! It's magic!"
"My favorite part, the magic tricks, is finally here!"
"Watching Ang Baye's live stream is even more exciting than playing it yourself!"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream, and I couldn't figure it out!"
The game screen was filled with system prompts about the high cost of synthesizing advanced cards, which made the random players they were matched with restless again.
"It was just a few sarcastic remarks, don't open it!"
"Screenshot! Screenshot!"
"Eighth Master, how much is it? I want to buy one too!"
Gao Ang didn't have time to pay attention to them. Although seeing these words still made him feel uncomfortable and even a little restless, he deliberately suppressed his emotions. He wouldn't allow himself to become a monster controlled by external factors.
While fighting monsters in the jungle, he drew cards a few more times, but this time he emptied his mind and drew cards without any thoughts or awareness. The answer was obvious: they were all random cards, none of which were the ones he needed.
By comparing the effects of drawing cards in two different states, Gao Ang came to a conclusion that is not quite a conclusion: only when one's emotions are unusually intense will they affect the outcome of drawing cards in Auto Chess.
This is definitely not just luck. The lottery incident last time proved that luck doesn't exist. And this experiment shows that drawing cards can be controlled by emotions. Can something that can be controlled still be called luck?
What is the essential difference between lottery and card drawing?
Gao Ang stood up, intending to put on his clothes and study the problem carefully, but when he turned around to get his clothes, he was startled by a person standing at the door.
"How did you get in?" He was still in a daze, having just recovered from his thoughts, and had not yet realized that he was completely naked.
He was just curious how Xia Weiwei got in, since he had clearly locked the bedroom door from the inside.
Xia Weiwei's gaze shifted slightly downwards, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have. She immediately looked away, but from her slightly shocked and feigned calm expression, it was clear that she was somewhat nervous.
"Team Leader Cao Kun asked me to inform you that you should go to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow to collect your reward." Xia Weiwei said, trying to appear calm, before turning and leaving the room. However, her small hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly as she closed the door.
"Reward? What reward?" Gao Ang was still in a state of confusion, only repeating the word "reward" over and over again.
It wasn't until he picked up his clothes to put them on that he realized: a woman had just seen him naked.
"Damn, we've really been ripped off!"
The cold air from the central air conditioning blew slowly in from above the door. Although Gao Feng was immune to heat and cold, he still felt a chill in his crotch: Could they have seen this too?
Recalling the details of their conversation, he was certain and extremely upset, and had to admit that Xia Weiwei had indeed seen right through him.
Especially the look in Xia Weiwei's eyes when she deliberately glanced down...
"I can't live like this anymore! My innocence is ruined!"
He opened the door and was about to rush upstairs to confront her, but stopped just as he was about to step onto the stairs.
"How should I put it? Should I say, 'What right do you have to look at my body?' No, that would just make her laugh at me."
Although Gao was satisfied with his size, he wasn't sure if this cold, beautiful woman understood this or if she would think he was short.
"It seems the 'N Articles of Agreement' also say that you can't enter areas above the second floor without a reason... Oh well, I'll let you off the hook. I, Gao Ang, don't hold grudges against petty people. Taking a small loss is a big gain." After comforting himself with a bunch of reasons, he returned to his room. Compared to figuring out the function and cause of the mutation, being seen naked seemed insignificant.
The incident of being completely exposed was quickly forgotten by Gao Feng. Now, he is pondering a question repeatedly: what caused this extreme luck in drawing cards?
At 1 a.m., Lao Wan had had her fill of fun. Gao Ang had helped her win five chicken dinners, and even five in a row. Although she didn't win them herself, she felt proud to see Gao Ang win, and happily sent him five more Super Rockets before saying goodnight to each other.
Gao Feng opened his diary and began to scribble wildly, taking into account all the factors that could cause variations in card-drawing efficiency, and then checking them one by one.
Luck – ruled out. Lottery tickets and other tangible things don't apply, and he hasn't had any particularly lucky events in the past few days. Most importantly, Gao Ang has always believed that so-called luck doesn't exist. It must be some unknown force that current scientific knowledge can't explain, which causes luck; it's just that this unknown force is given the name 'luck'.
Modifying the data—this possibility isn't nonexistent, and the probability is relatively higher than luck. In Dota Auto Chess, the card draw probability is explicit; all players draw from the same deck with equal probability. Suppose a player possesses some unknown power, and in a moment of extreme excitement or desire, this power is activated, causing certain card stats in the deck to be particularly favorable to them—temporarily increasing to 100%—resulting in the player getting exactly what they want.
However, this assumption has a major problem: he didn't do anything else, he just made a few noises. Furthermore, if it were truly data modification, the official Auto Chess team should have backend logs recording his cheating, meaning they could see his cheating activity logs, but they didn't.
Official personnel involvement – that's out of the question. They make their living from this; why would they give a small streamer special treatment for nothing? That would be sabotaging their own business.
"I wonder if this ability will be useful in other lottery games..." With this thought in mind, Gao Ang opened a previously very popular web game - "Greedy Blue Moon" endorsed by Zha Zha Hui, hoping to see if he could still get what he wanted.
Log in to the game with QQ, follow the newbie guide to level up and kill monsters... Unfortunately, the lottery requires level 60. In order to participate in this gameplay as soon as possible, Gao Yuan reluctantly spent 100 yuan to get a level-up pill. At level 59, he ate the pill and his character reached level 60.
When he opened the treasure hunt page, the flashing images of equipment almost blinded his titanium alloy eyes. He didn't want to draw the Saint Dominator Divine Sword, which looked very cool and high-class, because he wasn't sure if this top-tier equipment was in the treasure vault.
He found a piece of equipment that didn't look particularly impressive, but was still decent. Gao Feng looked at it carefully for a few moments, pouring his longing into his heart, before finally clicking the 'Treasure Hunt' button.
To reduce the ambiguity of the test, he only clicked once to avoid the influence of true probabilistic factors.
'bite'
Sure enough, he obtained the equipment he had seen before. Once again, he obtained it; and once more, he obtained it again…
Each treasure hunt costs 200 gold coins, and his gold coins can only be used for 50 hunts. The final result is that he has 50 identical pieces of this equipment in his warehouse and backpack.
During these 50 treasure hunts, Gao Ang carefully observed the changes in his entire body, and he even deliberately recorded a video of himself with his phone.
I wasn't in a hurry to watch the video, so I grabbed a pen and wrote directly in my diary:
Every time I go treasure hunting, I feel a throbbing sensation in my temples, like... something is sucking me away.
"Sucked away?"
Upon seeing this word, Gao Ang was involuntarily startled. In physics, the most obvious example of the word "attraction" is magnets. Opposite poles attract each other, and like poles repel each other. Anyone who has taken a basic physics course knows this concept.
But he had never heard of data streams being able to induce magnetic poles with real objects!
However, if we use this 'data stream magnetic pole phenomenon' to explain it, it all seems to make sense!
Imagine that in games like Dota Auto Chess and Greedy Blue Moon, each card has its own magnetic pole, and a certain 'signal' emitted by one's body or a part of one's body is also a magnetic pole. When one needs a certain card, the 'signal' emitted by one's body will attract the cards in the deck, and thus the card one needs will appear...
This explanation is the easiest to make sense of the problem, and it doesn't have many flaws.
First, this can resolve the previous erroneous assumption about modifying the data. If such a 'signal' truly exists, then there is no need to modify the data, which is why the official documentation did not find any data modification logs.
Secondly, this explains why it has no effect on lotteries, because lottery results are unknown, or rather, predetermined, while what you buy is a physical item. How can something unknown have an effect? Because it doesn't exist. And physical things have no effect either, because this 'signal' targets a data stream.
This also explains why I feel tired every time I use this ability. Sending a signal definitely requires energy, just like a mobile phone needs power to make a call.
Putting down his pen, Gao Ang felt a bit of kidney deficiency. Yes, that's the feeling of kidney deficiency, a feeling of being completely drained. 50 times! Who can do 50 times?
If all three points above are true, his kidney deficiency this time is still acceptable; a good night's sleep and some sunshine can make up for it all.
Finally, he wrote a summary in his diary:
[A white object triggers a bodily mutation, enabling the body to absorb sunlight or other energy. A certain part of the body emits a 'data stream magnetic pole signal,' which can attract computer data of interest.]
After writing the last word, Gao Ang felt utterly exhausted. His head was spinning, like a walking corpse, but his body felt no discomfort. He knew he had overworked his brain, or in other words, his mental energy was depleted. He rolled onto the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Before falling asleep, another question flashed through Gao Ang's mind: What kind of reward was Xia Weiwei talking about going to the Municipal Bureau to collect...?
