Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

"Final warning! If you're going to choose the companion blind box, just die already, don't waste your breath!"

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang, slammed his hand on the lectern with a "bang," nearly shattering it, and sprayed spittle all over the faces of those in the front row.

"In a survival game, you only have one life!"

"Whether you get a Tetanus Blade from a weapon blind box or a Husky from a pet blind box, it can save you from disaster in a pinch!"

"The only exception is the 'companion blind box,' which is universally acknowledged as a direct route to ruin!"

Old Zhang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the back row.

"It'll only produce a vase full of screams! Resources are so scarce in the early game, having more mouths to feed is just asking for trouble!"

Below the stage, the fifty students of Class 2, Grade 12, listened intently, barely daring to breathe.

In this world, anyone who is eighteen years of age or older...

They will all be forcibly teleported to the "Blind Box Survival Game".

When the game was first created, players were forced to teleport randomly, fight alone, and had a mortality rate as high as 99%.

However, after a century of development, humanity has mastered a unified method for entering the survival game, which has replaced the college entrance examination.

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhang, explained the precautions for entering the survival game for the first time.

Lin Xiao sat in the back row by the window in the King's Hometown, twirling a ballpoint pen with a calm expression.

"I've been transmigrated for eighteen years, and my cheat system still hasn't arrived. This transmigration experience is terrible..."

Lin Xiao thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

That's right, he's a time traveler.

I thought it was a city rebirth story, but the world's style suddenly changed, and it became a survival story where everyone is a martial arts master.

"Lin Xiao!"

Old Zhang suddenly called out his name, and he quickly walked up to him with a complicated look in his eyes.

"You're usually very decisive, but I have to give you a heads-up: don't go for that partner blind box out of curiosity."

"Your teacher knows you're all alone and want to find a companion, but inside, survival is the only thing that matters."

"Understand?"

Lin Xiao felt a warmth in his heart.

These days, there aren't many people who genuinely care about you.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang, I value my life and won't do anything reckless."

Old Zhang was about to say a few more words.

Om-!

The resounding bell rang directly at the top of the head.

No dizziness, no transition.

next second.

The classroom disappeared, and Lin Xiao found himself in a pure white space.

……

Welcome to the survival game.

[New player benefits are being distributed...]

Five beams of light descended, and five ancient-looking black boxes floated in front of them.

They are engraved separately.

Blood-Dripping Longsword (Weapon Blind Box), Open Book (Cultivation Technique Blind Box), Roaring Beast Head (Spirit Pet Blind Box), Round Pill (Essence Blind Box).

And the one on the far right, which everyone considers a monster—

Twin Lotus Flowers (Companion Blind Box).

"Please make your choice within 30 seconds. New users can only choose one."

The countdown was a blinding red: 29, 28...

Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

According to textbooks, the optimal solution is either a weapon or a spirit pet.

In the early stages, a knife can save your life, and a dog can provide early warning.

As for a partner?

Lin Xiao glanced at the box containing the twin lotus flowers, his mind filled with Old Zhang's roar.

Even a dog wouldn't choose that.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and reached out to grab the [Weapon Blind Box] engraved with a longsword.

Seeking stability, without feeling ashamed.

However, the moment the fingertips touch.

hiss!

My eyes suddenly felt a burning pain!

Tears welled up instantly.

When I opened my eyes again, the world had changed.

The five blind boxes, which were originally pitch black, suddenly started to emit colorful lights!

The leftmost [Weapon Blind Box] was shrouded in a layer of pale white mist.

A line of notes popped up next to it, like a bullet screen.

【Rusty Iron Sword (White Common): Industrial scrap metal that chipps after just two hits. Aside from making your death more ceremonial, it's utterly useless. Return on Investment: -50% (A complete loss!)】

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap?

This……

A cheat code that's 18 years late?!

Lin Xiaoqiang suppressed his wildly beating heart and quickly scanned the other blind boxes.

【Martial Arts Blind Box】

[Basic Breathing Technique (Green and Excellent): Can extend your breath-holding time by two minutes. But that's all. Return on Investment: 10%]

Rubbish.

【Spirit Pet Blind Box】

[Mutant Husky (Blue Rare): Demolition Manager. Besides destroying your house and making fools of yourself in front of zombies, it can occasionally help you lure monsters—if you're tired of living. Return on Investment: 30%]

Lin Xiao's eyes twitched, and he looked speechless.

Taking this thing to survive?

Unless you think you're going to die young.

【Pill Blind Boxes】

[Expired Strength Pill (White, Common): May cause ejaculation, temporarily increasing strength by 10% for three seconds. A real man only lasts three seconds? Return on investment: -80%]

It's all a trap!

Is this what they call newbie perks?

This year's blind box event was the worst one I've ever organized!

"10 seconds left."

The system's alarm bells rang out.

Lin Xiao's gaze finally fell on the "Companion Blind Box," which was despised by the entire internet and regarded as a monstrous threat by Lao Zhang.

next second.

Lin Xiao's pupils dilated in shock!

It was neither white, nor green, nor the legendary golden light.

A dazzling, almost blinding, seven-colored divine light shot into the sky from the box!

A line of large, gilded characters appeared, trembling:

【? ? ? (Supreme Color, Unique): An unparalleled being from the mythological dimension, currently sealed. Once unlocked, it's incredibly useful! So awesome! Return on investment: ∞ (Infinity! This is a winning streak!)】

color!

Supreme!

Infinity!

These words struck Lin Xiao like a hammer blow.

The textbooks say that the radiance of blind boxes is only white, green, blue, purple, gold, and red.

I've never heard of color before!

This is absolutely beyond comprehension, an existence that defies all reason!

"This is what they call...garbage?"

Lin Xiao swallowed hard; his throat felt dry.

This isn't trash, it's a nuclear bomb!

Is it because everyone is prejudiced that this god-level reward has been dormant, waiting for me, the destined one, to come and snatch it up?

"5, 4, 3..."

The countdown is about to reach zero.

A guide to getting out of here!

My experience is amazing!

Truth is held by only a few!

Lin Xiao firmly grasped the [Companion Blind Box] that was radiating a dazzling seven-colored divine light!

"I choose this one, all in!"

[Select Confirm.]

[Player Lin Xiao selects reward: Companion Blind Box.]

……

at the same time.

Blue Star, the monitoring center of the Ministry of Education of the Dragon Kingdom.

Countless screens are broadcasting live the choices made by newbies.

"This year is good; most people chose weapons."

"Yeah, one of the kids got lucky and got a gold weapon. We've got this."

Several bigwigs held teacups and gave their opinions on the state of affairs.

Suddenly, a bright red warning box popped up on the screen.

[Warning: Extremely irrational choice detected!]

All eyes were instantly focused on it.

On the screen, there was a picture of Lin Xiao holding a blind box of companions, looking resolute.

"puff--!!"

The big shot who was drinking tea sprayed hot tea all over the screen.

"Cough cough cough! Whose unlucky kid is this? Is his brain filled with mush?!"

"With so many good options available, choosing a partner? Is this a survival exercise or a concubine selection?"

"Damn it, this account is ruined. Starting with a useless character, it's destined to be eliminated immediately upon landing."

"Find out who this child is! What kind of teacher is imparting this knowledge to him!"

The Ministry of Education's monitoring room was filled with frustrated and angry shouts.

In the conference room of Donghai No.1 Middle School.

Old Zhang, watching the live stream, turned as white as a sheet of paper.

He slumped in the chair, as if all his strength had been drained.

"Lin Xiao...you're so foolish!"

Old Zhang closed his eyes in despair.

He could almost see Lin Xiao being torn apart by zombies, while his partner, who had been pulled out of the car, could only scream and cry in agony.

however.

In the pure white space, Lin Xiao couldn't hear the ridicule from the entire internet.

He just stared intently at the box in his hand.

The seven-colored light grew even more intense in his eyes.

"bring it on."

"Let me see, this so-called most useless person on the entire internet."

"What kind of earth-shattering female demon will be unearthed?!"
