Chapter 1997 - 1990: Damn Spendthrift
"This... this is really a Warcraft beast egg!" Ying Zheng’s mind was buzzing at the moment.
He had already killed more than a dozen Warcraft beasts, but so far he had only acquired over 1,200 Supreme Coins and a blue potion.
Zhang Menglong had a major drop once, which he could understand as a stroke of improbable luck, but the second major drop, even including an egg, meant the probability of this luck was almost zero.
It was almost an unwritten rule: if a task involves stealing or collecting something from a Warcraft den, that item should drop in that area, but the probability is even lower than dropping a Supreme Crystal!
But Zhang Menglong managed to drop an egg after killing just his first Warcraft beast. Can anyone explain that?
"1,000 Supreme Coins, one egg, one Supreme Crystal, and a bunch of body parts," Zhang Menglong collected everything from the ground with a flick of his hand, then charged at the second Warcraft beast.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"
"Pegasus Meteor Fist!"
Zhang Menglong’s strength was immense, easily allowing him to instantly kill a Warcraft beast, and even King Level Warcraft beasts couldn’t withstand a single move from him.
Under ordinary circumstances, Ying Zheng would have marveled at Zhang Menglong’s overwhelming strength, capable of instantaneously defeating King Level Warcraft beasts at a First-grade life level. The power gap was absolutely immense!
Leaving aside the secret techniques Zhang Menglong used, his personal strength was also terrifying and powerful, fighting across ranks was as easy as slicing through vegetables.
But now, his incredible power didn’t matter anymore. What mattered was that every Warcraft beast he killed dropped a pile of items, and sometimes even hundreds of Supreme Coins or some Warcraft materials that he didn’t even bother to pick up!
The most outrageous part was that whether it was Supreme Crystals or Warcraft beast eggs, the drop rate was 100%. Every kill guaranteed these two items to drop!
Before long, the battle ended. Over two hundred Warcraft beasts were dealt with, a few people were injured, but after drinking health potions, the injuries quickly started to heal. They gathered around to tally their battle gains.
Ying Zheng had killed 22 Warcraft beasts himself, dropping a total of 1,800 Supreme Coins, one red potion, and two blue potions, which was an excellent haul.
The total gains of the rest amounted to about 15,000 Supreme Coins. Combined, there were over a dozen red and blue potions, and besides that, they found a Warcraft beast’s eyeball. That was all they got.
When Zhang Menglong laid out his loot, everyone else nearly went crazy.
He had killed only 8 Warcraft beasts, dropping 8,000 Supreme Coins, 8 Supreme Crystals, 8 eggs, and over 20 red and blue potions. The dropped body parts could probably make up 5 complete Warcraft beasts.
"Menglong, how on earth did you manage this?" Seeing Zhang Menglong’s rich haul, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but ask.
"This..." Zhang Menglong faked hesitation, "to be honest, I’m not really sure, but I guess I’m naturally lucky."
Zhang Menglong started to speak enthusiastically.
"For example, whenever I bought iced red tea back in school, I almost always won a free bottle in the draw."
"When I bought scratch-off lottery tickets, the prize amounts may not have been huge, but I almost always won something."
"I could always get concert tickets, even if there were thousands competing for just a few thousand tickets. Basically, I never missed."
"And when I take a dump, I somehow avoid the splash every time, and my pee never splits into two streams."
...
Although Ying Zheng didn’t believe Zhang Menglong’s nonsense, it seemed there really was no other explanation besides good luck. Surely, he couldn’t be the creator of this world, right?
If he was the world’s creator, why would he be here? Moreover, the bewilderment and confusion in his eyes when he first arrived couldn’t be feigned.
As for whether Zhang Menglong possessed something special? They couldn’t think of anything that could enhance someone’s luck to this extent.
Luck is such an intangible concept. Even Ying Zheng, who considered himself a man of great fortune, paled in comparison to Zhang Menglong’s luck, which was beyond extraordinary; it was explosive.
"Counting the latest, there are a total of 9 Supreme Crystals, and if he hadn’t sold the one he found last night, he could already leave this world," Ying Zheng gasped, "Not to mention all the monster parts and eggs, that’s worth 100 million Supreme Coins!"
It’s been less than a day since Zhang Menglong arrived in this world! Why doesn’t the heavens strike him down with thunder and lightning?
Now Ying Zheng seemed to understand why Zhang Menglong dared to play games with the rule-master earlier.
He didn’t need the quest to earn Supreme Coins in the first place! Even if the rule-master cancelled the quest because of Zhang Menglong’s maneuvers, what did it matter? Killing another Warcraft beast could make up for it!
"Let’s all take a break! Restore our energy and stamina!" Ying Zheng chose a relatively safe spot that looked easy to defend and hard to attack, making it a suitable resting place.
Others took out their food to eat, gulping down red and blue potions, while Zhang Menglong took out a Warcraft beast’s foreleg and began grilling it with his barbecue gear.
The smell of cumin spread, and the surrounding Martial Artists drooled with envy. Of course, they also wanted to have delicious food every meal, but they just weren’t strong enough!
"Everyone, dig in! I can’t finish all of this by myself!" Zhang Menglong generously sliced off big pieces of Warcraft leg and breast meat to share.
Then, feeling it wasn’t enough, he dared to take out a Warcraft beast egg.
"Menglong, what are you doing?" Ying Zheng tried to stop him, but Zhang Menglong had already started to grill the egg with Strange Fire.
"Eight million Supreme Coins!"
"This prodigal, is he burning through money?"
"What the... has he lost it? He’s just grilling a Warcraft beast egg to eat?"
Zhang Menglong’s actions caused an uproar. Eight million Supreme Coins, just hunting like this, you’d need decades to save up that amount with occasional good hunting.
And he just grilled and ate it?
"What?" Zhang Menglong looked back at Ying Zheng with a puzzled expression, "Brother Ying Zheng, do you want to try some Warcraft beast egg as well?"
Zhang Menglong pulled out the remaining eggs and laid them out, "Let’s all try it then, as only one egg is needed to complete the task. I can just go kill a couple more Warcraft beasts later."
