Chapter 102: Chapter 37: The Divine Selection Mechanism of the Goddess of Fortune

The Devout Monastery was built on the outskirts of the territory, a distance away from the main buildings, situated on a small hill that was serene and peaceful.

Lin Rui walked into the monastery, where a plain white divine statue already stood at the far end in front of the wall. However, the statue was hazy, revealing no features.

Should he say a devout prayer?

Lin Rui closed his eyes and gave it a try.

Then, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, your devout prayer has been answered by thirty-two divine spirits willing to protect your territory, including powerful main gods like the Earth Mother Goddess, War God, God of the White Wolf, and Magic Goddess. Please select one as the faith of your territory.]

"Goddess of Fortune!" Lin Rui decisively confirmed.

[Ding, selection successful. The Goddess of Fortune becomes the divine spirit protecting your territory, and the territory receives the goddess’s blessing. All residents’ luck +1, all probability mechanism determinations have a fixed increase in probability of 5%.]

Lin Rui’s eyes widened instantly, staring at the gradually clearer goddess statue. He was somewhat unsure if this blessing was for all goddess followers or was exclusively given to him by this petite wife!

Because this attribute was so strong it was against the rules, and at the level where the Goddess of Fortune personally intervened to cheat.

All probability mechanism determinations have a fixed increase in probability of 5%!

The blessing’s increase of 5% in critical strike rate, evasion rate, blocking rate, and so on were insignificant compared to its true significance to him.

The most significant aspect of this blessing was turning the impossible into possible.

For instance, something that others had a success rate of only one in billion, tens of billions, seemingly impossible, but when Lin Rui did it, there was hope, a fixed success rate of over 5%.

For example, in the lucky wheel, the grand prize set by the divine spirit had a winning probability of 0.000000001%, which no one could possibly draw. For Lin Rui, it became 5.000000001%, and with Lin Rui’s luck, 5% was almost like 30-50%. Just let him try a few more times, and this thing was bound to come out.

A Sub-dragon Egg with a likelihood of hatching a giant dragon at 0.0000001%. Others wouldn’t dream of a Sub-dragon Egg hatching a giant dragon. But Lin Rui was different; one of his Sub-dragon Eggs might just produce a giant dragon. Rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation. For Young Master Lin, he’s both rich and capable of increasing mutation probability!

Lin Rui deliberately stayed put, wanting to see what the goddess’s face looked like specifically.

But after adjusting the statue, the goddess’s face had a hazy divine glow, making it impossible to see her face clearly, like the blurred fate.

The only thing certain was that the goddess had an excellent figure, with elegant curves, a voluptuous bosom, slender waist, and pert buttocks, a golden ratio. This evoked a sincere admiration for young women in Lin Rui, a teenage boy, filling him with beautiful fantasies about the feminine figure, causing his heart to race.

Lin Rui worshiped once more, solemnly saying, "Goddess, I will later go to the Goddess Pendulum to offer sacrificial gifts to you."

The goddess seemed quite reserved with no reaction at all.

Lin Rui then left with Audrey, planning to make a transaction in the market, acquiring a large amount of goods for a divine sacrifice to supercharge his strength.

Regarding that moronic thing that not even a dog would touch, Lin Rui already had a strategy for winning, only needing an unprecedented super sacrifice strengthening.

Audrey, following Lin Rui, muttered, "The figure of the Goddess of Fortune is so good! Even I, a woman, drool at it. No wonder she seduces men so well."

"Lord, do you think my figure is lacking compared to hers?"

Lin Rui glanced at her up and down, seriously summarizing, "Two shortcomings, chest too big, waist slightly short."

"Hmm? Isn’t that a single flaw?"

"Really?"

"Isn’t it?"

Lin Rui, contemplating her slender figure delineated by the tight skirt, pondered, "It kind of is."

"Ah, so frustrating! I want to buy a strapless! I need to buy loose tops! Either highlight the waist or conceal it," grumbled Audrey.

But to Lin Rui, it was all the same meaning, I want to shop, Lord, pay up!

Lin Rui directly handed her 5,000 Realm Coins, considering it her tip for carrying three bags along.

Altogether three bags of equipment, including sixty-nine Fine-level Equipments, two hundred thirty-four Enhanced-level Equipments, and one thousand one hundred eighty-two Ordinary-level Equipments!

This drop rate was vastly different compared to relics. If according to the relic equipment drop rate, killing so many monsters tonight, Ordinary-level Equipment would overflow. However, there was no strategic treasure drop tonight, so the numbers of Fine-level and Enhanced-level Equipment slightly increased.

Lin Rui opened the shop interface, the number of followers had already risen to 528931.

Apparently, many explorers had noticed that this shop regularly sold large quantities of equipment.

Lin Rui browsed through the transaction records of the equipment, noticing the price of Ordinary-level Equipment had dropped to 117.

It was inevitable, as the military forces in most territories were nowhere near as powerful as Lin Rui’s. For a hundred-man broken-down village, maintaining a few or a squad of armored soldiers was already the limit. The prominent ones would quickly arm their troops and begin exploring outward, hunting numerous wild monsters. They could sell the surplus equipment and convert it into wealth to develop their territories. In the early days, using military plunder to foster territory development was the norm for most people.

In the future, Ordinary-level Equipment would probably become increasingly worthless, only fit for melting down in the blacksmith shop.
