Predicting probabilities?
An ability similar to foreknowledge?
Su Changxing noticed that the notebook was filled with numbers and symbols, seemingly in disarray, like something scribbled randomly by a child:
"Is this your ability?"
Lin Xiuyu nodded and said:
"Itâs more of a derived ability, related to the environment and time. In the original world, I didnât have such an ability, but it appeared when I came to this world."
"The probability of death changes every moment, and when it falls below thirty percent, it almost signifies death, or the arrival of danger."
"Previously, my death probability never dropped below ninety percent, but after entering the No-Manâs Land, it continuously decreased."
"Every action I take affects this probability, which is quite normal because the world is dynamic, so this probability is dynamic too."
[A jumble of numbers, seemingly without pattern...]
"True Knowledge" didnât acquire any information; this is probably because the analytical ability of his "True Knowledge" is insufficient and needs strengthening and advancement.
Previously, when he was at Tier Nine, he had the opportunity to advance, but couldnât promote "True Knowledge" because it shouldnât be something a Tier Nine Extraordinary should possess.
This ability to perceive everything in the world is terrifying.
With this ability, he often gains the initiative in obtaining information, knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one hundred battles, never defeated.
Su Changxing pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "So you stop what youâre doing once you sense the probability decreasing."
"Itâs hard to imagine someone as smart as you blending into the crowd."
Lin Xiuyu couldnât help but sigh and continued:
"Thatâs right. Since the apocalypse began, Iâve always been safe, and all the decisions Iâve made seem to have been the most correct ones."
Su Changxing found this interesting, a smile curling on his lips, saying, "But you still came in, which might be your only wrong decision, showing youâre not rational."
This indicates that Lin Xiuyuâs superpower is very formidable, perhaps even on par with Shen Jinxuan and Zhong Jueqing, albeit not destructive.
However, this kind of power is actually more terrifying, changing the course of events invisibly, much like Teng Beng.
This dire situation now might already be the best among countless awful scenarios.
Lin Xiuyu put down the pen and paper, the black lines on his face becoming more pronounced, saying, "Because I trust the bossâs judgment. When both sides fight, the disadvantaged party is bound to go all in, only then... only then will there be a chance of winning."
He chuckled lightly and said, "Not bad, the current probability is still at forty-six percent, better than I expected. At least in the short-term, I wonât die from radiation."
Forty-six percent?
Itâs already very low, a fifty-fifty chance of dying.
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, let me know when youâre about to die, so I can be prepared."
Lin Xiuyu held his breath and said, "Youâre already certain Iâm going to die?"
Su Changxing nodded, seriously saying, "From the looks of it, yes, itâs suicide for non-extraordinary people to enter, except..."
"Except?"
Lin Xiuyuâs eyes widened.
Su Changxingâs mind flashed with an unfamiliar image, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Except for someone like your leader."
Lin Xiuyu proudly laughed:
"Of course, before the apocalypse, the boss was one of the very few superiors, our Security Bureau always overshadowing Chenxi."
The wind carried a heavy chill, with no stars or moon in sight, the world was pitch-black, as if black water was flowing between heaven and earth.
Just now, the Mysterious Shop refreshed again, and the items were not typical items but an ability.
[Concentration (B crown, Lower Rank): One-tenth price, 100000 Points]
[Concentration: From the High Martial World, a Divine Power of a Swordsman, single-mindedly, reaching the pinnacle.
This capacity is not Divine Power but the alienated ability of Divine Power, can gather spirit and power in a short time, and simultaneously mobilize Extraordinary Power, amplifying the damage of the next attack by 100%~5000%.
Note, the ability consumption is enormous, requiring 10 Spiritual Power, Tier Eight or above.
Please use cautiously!]
One hundred thousand points!
Su Changxing was directly stunned; this is the discounted value, meaning its original worth was in the millions of points.
Itâs astronomical.
"So how does the Mysterious Shop set prices, based on mood?"
Su Changxing muttered, previously thinking the Mysterious Shop set prices according to peopleâs ability to buy, but this time, he couldnât afford it, with less than fifty thousand points on him, not even half of a hundred thousand points.
The five thousand points were saved up, anticipating that the Mysterious Shop might have expensive items, but it wasnât enough, unexpected.
Following the rule that the more expensive, the more formidable, such an itemâs value is apparent in itself, only to be refreshed out in two days.
His points are sourced from the Doomsday Game; even if others have points, with no signal, they canât transfer over.
This led to a vicious cycle.
Su Changxing was dumbfounded, realizing the discount shop itself wasnât for earning points, just for expending points.
Every function schemed to drain his points, resembling swindlers, if not in likeness, then identical.
Walking along, Su Changxing couldnât think of a solution at the moment. Perhaps exiting the No-Manâs Land is the only way, but current circumstances disallow it.
After a while, the phone vibrated again.
[You can spend ten thousand points to activate the item selling function, allowing you to exchange valuable items for points]
Turns out thereâs this trick.
It awaited to snag another bit of points... Su Changxing couldnât help but silently complain, feeling the Mysterious Shop possesses certain intelligence, simply not showing on the surface.
Its aim surely is to gain more points, also abiding by some rules.
Though, nonetheless...
Su Changxing still agreed without hesitation, and his forty thousand plus points quickly dwindled to just over thirty thousand, yet he didnât feel heartache, as gaining points didnât seem tough, at least so far.
[Activate selling function]
[This function comes with an identifying ability. Note: Attached to "True Knowledge," considered a module ability]
[The value of items doesnât pertain to their inherent worth, only the value recognized by this shop, with final interpretation rights reserved by the discount shop]
He then looked at a small stone on the ground.
[Small Stone: Compressed soil structure, average strength. (Garbage, 0 points)]
Turns out this kind of thing is worthless.
