Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Luck Is Always Unpredictable

Inside the mansion of the Su Family Garden on the sixth layer of the Babylon Tower, Feng Xue stared blankly at the empty bottle on the table, exuding a temperament as if he had just had an intense staring contest with Medusa.

The good news was that he indeed crafted the item he wanted.

The bad news, there was absolutely no product left.

Looking at the beaten-up material bench, Feng Xue finally restrained the idea of continuing to gamble and packed up a pile of joke tools and the Black Ball in frustration, glaring at the table where only the empty bottle of the pseudo artifact remained—

He suspected this thing was a fake!

...

Name: Pseudo Artifact - Lucky Milk

Elements: [Milk], [Luck], [Cat], [Beverage]

Description: A miraculous drink from the holy spring village of Jieyun, it’s refreshingly dry and sweet, not only bringing good fortune to the drinker but also adding a variety of beneficial status boosts.

Notes: It seems so easy to "have another bottle" after drinking it, so the option for another was simply canceled.

...

Yes, this so-called Lucky Milk, which he had already consumed, was Feng Xue’s inspiration upon seeing the [Luck] element.

Some people might think that [Luck] should be made into an amulet-like permanent buff tool, but in Feng Xue’s opinion, those "luck-enhancing" items were actually not reliable because you never know when such mystical items would take effect and to what extent, and such permanent abilities often weren’t very strong.

According to the basic knowledge of pseudo artifacts obtained from the black market, Feng Xue understood that consumables of the same level often have effects many grades higher than permanent ones, and it’s not due to factors of balance or setting, but simply because a consumable would convert all the [Identity] that made up the artifact into effect at the moment of consumption.

Moreover, they would take effect as soon as they were swallowed, making it easier to control the timing.

However, after drinking the milk and undergoing the reroll, he still didn’t get any good drops (I added bonus dice, but the highest was still only a five...).

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was actually wearing buffs like the Lucky Cat’s Luck Boosting Technique, the Cat’s Strong Challenger Skill, and the Cat’s Thousand-Mile Eye Technique, he would even doubt if he had drunk a counterfeit product.

But considering even in the original story, wearing the full Golden Fire Dragon Set and having drunk Luck Boosting Technique didn’t guarantee getting any grudge products, so he could only helplessly shake his head.

"Could it be that my Golden Finger is unaffected by lucky pseudo artifacts? Huh, probably not, at least the number of Black Balls has dropped a lot, whereas most of the time, it’s mostly Black Balls..."

Feng Xue comforted himself in a very Ah Q spirit and immediately called Huo Mu, asking him to help collect horseshoes, rabbit feet, four-leaf clovers, and other lucky pseudo artifacts. He planned to try this formula a few more times later and conduct several control experiments to completely give up hope.

With that thought, he tossed his clothes on the sofa and turned toward the bathroom. Although the Lucky Cat’s Luck Boosting Technique did not bring him sufficient luck, taking a bath after the disappointment to soothe his mood was an excellent idea.

He wasn’t worried about Old Li suddenly coming back for his things; when he had signed the living contract earlier, he had already addressed all potential issues in the agreement.

As he pushed open the bathroom door, steam billowed out. This was no surprise to Feng Xue, as his supersized hot spring bathroom was always kept in a state where water was being drained and filled constantly; otherwise, it would take half a day to fill up the water when he wanted to take a bath.

He even felt that...

"The steam seems a bit cooler than usual today?"

However, the moment he stepped into the bathroom, his body suddenly stiffened because, as his foot fell, a huge flat map that seemed to stretch endlessly appeared in his mind, dotted with dense magenta-colored spheres!

The cat’s Thousand-Mile Eye Technique was activated!

"Damn! Why are there so many big monsters?" Feng Xue was completely astonished at that moment. He couldn’t understand, no matter how he thought about it, why there would be so many enemies classified as "large monsters" appearing in the Babylon Tower, a Forbidden Weapon zone.

But the next moment, Feng Xue felt cold sweat pouring down because he suddenly remembered that he had used the "Resurrection Tomb" hundreds of times during the challenges in the Babylon Tower. So theoretically, there were indeed potentially hundreds of enemies within the Babylon Tower who were locked into being hostile towards him!

But...

There weren’t just a few hundred of those purplish-red spheres in front of him—damn it, there were thousands just from a quick sweep!

Uh, wait a second...

"I’ve still got the damn cat’s Strong Challenger Skill!"

Stark naked, Feng Xue almost prostrated himself on the ground right then and there; he was completely overwhelmed.

The cat’s Thousand-Mile Eye Technique was an ability that could reveal the location of "large monsters" for a certain period after entering a map, while the Strong Challenger Skill’s effect was to summon even stronger monsters to interfere when challenging a large monster, such as the Fierce Dragon or something...

So, he challenged a few hundred big monsters, and the Challenge Technique sent him a few hundred more interfering monsters?

What kind of dark humor is this?!

"Calm down! Calm down! Babylon Tower is a Forbidden Weapon zone; the very fact that so many enemies haven’t found me until now is proof! Stay cool! First thing is to go get the Pseudo Artifact... crap! Not that!"

Feng Xue was, of course, completely naked, having come to take a bath, but who could think about bathing in this situation?

Or rather, with the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of large monsters, he wished he could just apply three layers of armor to himself right away!

Turning around to leave, the bathroom door that should have been closed automatically opened, and what appeared in front of Feng Xue was a stark-naked...

Long, straight black hair?!

Time seemed to freeze in that instant, but Feng Xue, who recovered first, immediately broke the silence and tentatively asked with a bit of bewilderment:

"Old Li? I don’t even have a filter on, damn it!"

However, the response he got wasn’t from a "gender-bent Old Li," but an incredibly shrill scream—

"Ah—!"

Although Feng Xue was a bit perplexed by the situation, after all, he was someone who had seen the world. Almost instinctively, he completed the actions of reaching out to cover the mouth, pressing an acupoint, and then closing the door in one fluid motion.

Only at this point did he notice that his previously luxurious bathhouse, similar to a royal spa, had somehow turned into a cramped and modest modern bathroom that was less than 15 square meters in size.

It was also at this moment that he realized something—

He wasn’t seeing thousands of enemies in the Babylon Tower; when he opened the door, he had accidentally traveled to a world with thousands of large monsters!

"So the Luck Boosting Technique’s luck was used on opening the door?"

Feng Xue, with his face covered, looked down at the long, straight, black-haired beauty whose overly good figure was restrained in front of him. Alright, maybe some of it also got added to his Luck of Love.
