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

The wind stopped, and the world became quiet.

In the heart of the ruins of H City, amidst the nauseating stench of blood, a hint of domineering peach blossom fragrance managed to squeeze in.

Bai Qi maintained that extremely cool charging posture.

He raised the Crimson Blood Dragon's Gallbladder Halberd high above his head, his entire body tense.

At this moment, he looked like a sculpture that had been drying in the square for three days.

His tiger-like eyes, which had seen countless enemies, were now glaring like copper bells.

His gaze darted wildly between the neatly chopped pieces of corpse on the ground and the snow-white figure's back.

That's a Tier 3 Lord Titan Corpse King!

The monster that used to scare him to death from three blocks away has now become a sashimi platter?

And what is that man named Lin Xiao doing?

He was slowly wiping the hands of the woman beside him, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, with a handkerchief that appeared out of nowhere.

While wiping, she spoke softly, as if she had just chopped up a piece of tofu instead of a BOSS.

Bai Qi's lips twitched violently, and the red light of the mythical weapon in his hand dimmed, as if it were also embarrassed for its master.

Wait, what am I here for?

Am I here to save the day, or to rush to the next banquet?

After a brief pause, the live stream chat exploded like a volcanic eruption.

"Hahahaha! Help! I wonder how big the psychological trauma Bai Qi is experiencing right now!"

Bai Qi: I've got my ultimate move all ready, and you're telling me the monsters are gone?

"You're definitely the worst background character ever! Their show is like 'The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me,' while yours is like 'The Lone Warrior.' The styles are completely incompatible!"

"To be fair, although Bai Qi was miserable, I would give Lin Xiao a 99 out of 100 for his show of bravado. I'm afraid he'll get arrogant if I give him any more."

Lin Xiao seemed to sense the resentful gaze behind him.

Turning around, she looked at Bai Qi, who was covered in blood and looked somewhat disheveled, and gave him a polite yet Versailles-esque smile.

"Oh, you're here? That's quick, you almost caught it while it was still hot."

This greeting was like a sprinkling of cumin, precisely applied to Bai Qi's wound.

Bai Qi felt a pain in his gums and was about to say something.

A loud mechanical announcement suddenly rang out in the sky, making everyone's heads buzz.

[Server-wide announcement! Congratulations to player Lin Xiao (H City) for achieving the first kill of the final boss, Titan Corpse King!]

[Kill detected in 0.01 seconds!]

[Review: Absolutely incredible! Breaking the record for the fastest kill in Earth's history!]

[Rewards being processed...]

[Due to the kill speed exceeding the system's logical limits, the originally planned "Golden Legendary" guaranteed reward has been forcibly upgraded to "Red Mythical"!]

Om-!

Five enormous beams of light descended from the sky like divine punishment, hovering in front of Lin Xiao.

Within the beam of light, five antique blind boxes floated and sank, each radiating a wave that made one's heart race.

The entire internet exploded instantly.

Inside the Ministry of Education's monitoring hall, Minister Qin's new teacup shattered with a "crack."

"Red?! The final reward for the beginner's trial has been upgraded to a red blind box? This is unprecedented!"

The data analyst next to me was adjusting his glasses, his hands trembling like someone with Parkinson's disease.

"Minister, although the hidden mechanism was triggered, the system notification only indicates that the guaranteed reward has been upgraded to red; it doesn't mean it's guaranteed!"

"According to big data models, in this kind of five-choice situation, there is usually only one exceptional person, and the other four are either thank you for your patronage or consolation prizes."

"Even if you're the top player in the entire server, trying to single-handedly pull a red Mythic item with that 20% chance is about as difficult as winning the lottery jackpot!"

"Unless you're incredibly lucky."

In the live stream, countless experienced players who knew what they were doing started pouring cold water on the situation, trying to regain some psychological balance.

"Don't get too excited, this is a famous 'unlucky' detection machine."

"That's right. Two years ago, there was a top scorer who also triggered the hidden mechanism. He ended up picking a green whetstone from five blind boxes, and he was devastated. He cried so hard."

"A one-in-five chance? Ha, to someone with bad luck, that's 0%! If Lin Xiao makes the wrong choice, this move will result in a complete financial loss, leaving him with nothing."

Bai Qi also composed himself, staring intently at the five blind boxes.

As a scion of a prominent family, he knew all too well how deep the pitfalls were here.

For blind boxes to survive, they are the most crucial element.

Blind box draws rely solely on luck and superstition, disregarding ability and family background.

Metaphysics is sometimes even more illogical than real power.

Lin Xiao, what would you choose?

Will you be that lucky?

Lin Xiao looked at the five blind boxes floating in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.

One-fifth?

Gambling on luck?

Sorry, but in the world of cheaters, there is no probability theory, only standard answers.

A faint blue light flickered deep within his eyes.

All-seeing eye, open!

In the blink of an eye, the five seemingly identical blind boxes were stripped bare in his eyes, leaving nothing but their underwear.

[Blind Box 1 (far left): White trash. A box of compressed biscuits that expired three years ago, with extremely poor taste, -100% return.]

[Blind Box 2: Green and High-Quality. A fairly sharp alloy dagger, good for peeling apples, 5% return rate.]

[Blind Box 3: Golden Legend. Skill book "Whirlwind Slash," unfortunately it's a fragment; practicing it can easily lead to qi deviation. 300% return rate.]

[Blind Box 4: White Trash. A lace maid outfit (although Su Daji would probably look amazing in it), but it offers absolutely no benefit to combat power; 0% return.]

[Blind Box 5 (far right): Red Myth! The only genuine item! Contains an ancient secret manual, with an infinite return on investment!]

Lin Xiao's gaze was fixed on the blind box on the far right.

Beneath its unassuming exterior, a dazzling red light shone as brightly as the blazing sun.

Even deep within the red light, a faint trace of ancient and boundless Daoist charm could be discerned.

Without any hesitation.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of people across the internet.

Lin Xiao even skipped the steps of hesitation and prayer.

Like picking out cabbages at a market, I walked straight to the far right, reached out, and grabbed one.

"Is he crazy? He won't even glance at us?"

"So hasty? This is a golden opportunity for a red legend! Brother, couldn't you at least wash your hands?"

"Damn it, this kid's gotten cocky. He must have just picked something randomly. We're just waiting for him to crash and burn!"

Bai Qi also frowned. If it were him, he would at least burn incense and pray, and use his family's secret techniques to predict the outcome of such a fateful choice.

Lin Xiao's attitude is simply the greatest desecration of the word "myth"!
