Su Mu's lips twitched.

Missiles? He'd like to. That tactical missile blueprint is still gathering dust in his backpack; he can't even gather all the necessary materials.

"But I'm more curious," Lin Yuwei sent another message, "how did you find the ammunition depot? Even if a military base is abandoned, the ammunition depot is usually hidden in the most concealed place. How could you accurately hit it when you dropped bombs from above?"

Su Mu thought for a moment and replied, "Would you believe me if I said it was luck?"

There was a long silence on the other end.

At that moment, in another cable car, Lin Yuwei stared at the words and paused for a moment.

luck?

She had been wondering if Su Mu's talent was the "target locking" type... After all, he had been able to accurately hit monsters even in such dark conditions, which was unusually precise.

But if it's just "locked," how do you explain the spinning wheel? That kind of thing is purely based on luck and has nothing to do with whether it's locked or not.

Lin Yuwei recalled Su Mu's performance on the haunted house's spinning wheel... three times, three times in a row, all with good luck. One-half, one-third, one-sixth—the probability of hitting it three times in a row was so low as to be negligible.

And this time, the other party...

But this luck is just too incredible!

Lin Yuwei recalled her experiences today... She encountered a monster while opening a treasure chest, fought desperately to get the item, and then ran into a group of foreigners.

If she hadn't had a gun to intimidate the other party, she probably wouldn't have even had a chance to escape.

To make matters worse, even though she had already run quite far away, the other side still opened fire, and a stray bullet hit her shoulder.

How can the differences between people be so great?

She sighed, closed the chat window, and stopped thinking about it.

Thinking too much is mentally exhausting.

......

At this moment, Su Mu was also pondering the same question.

He stared at the sea of ​​fire outside the window, his mind replaying the same thought over and over again...

Am I really that lucky?

When he mentioned "luck," he was actually just brushing Lin Yuwei off. But thinking about it carefully, his luck since entering this world has indeed been abnormally good.

The first day we searched for goblin lairs, but there were no monsters. The second day, there were none at the roulette wheel either. Now, if we just throw a bomb down, it will detonate the ammunition depot and blow up the entire base.

Once or twice is luck, but what about three or four times?

Su Mu frowned and began to sort out the several rule-based abilities he possessed.

First, [any attack will lock onto the monster's weak point]... He understood this; it was exactly what it said.

No matter how you attack, the attack will automatically target vital points.

This ability also works when throwing grenades, which is why he can accurately throw bombs into hordes of zombies and drop liquefied gas canisters from a height of 100 meters directly above a military base.

But what about the ammunition depot?

He wasn't thinking about the ammunition depot at all. He just randomly threw it in a certain direction, aiming for "within the base area," not "the ammunition depot." But somehow it ended up hitting the ammunition depot, triggering a chain reaction of explosions.

This cannot be explained by "locking" alone.

Su Mu recalled another talent... [When faced with unknown blind box events that are of mixed quality, he can always observe and obtain the best part of them].

The description of this talent is "mixed," meaning that as long as both good and bad outcomes exist, he can get the best one. The ammunition depot explosion...wouldn't that be considered mixed?

He threw the bomb down; it might hit an empty field and he'd get nothing; it might hit a few monsters and he'd get some experience; or it might hit an ammunition depot and cause a huge explosion. Three outcomes—good, medium, and bad—he got the best one.

Holy crap.

Su Mu's pupils contracted slightly.

If this talent also applies to random events like "throwing bombs," wouldn't that mean... as long as there's a chance that what he throws might hit something good, it will definitely hit?

That's just too incredible!

Su Mu leaned against the wall, staring at the ceiling, his mind a complete mess.

However, he quickly shook his head.

No. This talent is based on "observation"... He needs to observe to get the best parts. But when he threw the bomb, he didn't observe anything at all. He just threw it randomly.

Moreover, when he encountered the goblin's lair on the first day, he didn't face any unknown blind box-like events that were a mix of good and bad. He always managed to observe and obtain the best parts of the situation, which is a talent of his.

So... maybe it really was just good luck?

Su Mu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a definite answer.

Never mind. Whether it was due to talent or luck, the outcome is good. Why think so much?

He shook his head, putting the matter aside for the time being, and turned his gaze back to the distant base.

The firelight gradually disappeared into the distance. The cable car continued forward, gliding smoothly through the night as if nothing had happened.

Su Mu withdrew his gaze, took one last look at the still-burning sky, and then completely looked away.

No further kill notifications were received.

The secondary explosion at the ammunition depot is probably over; the remaining monsters were either unharmed or had already fled far away.

He glanced at the experience bar... 312.4/400, 87.6 points short. What a pity, if he had another run, he might have leveled up to level four directly.

However, one should not be too greedy.

I went from 30-something to over 300 in a single day, almost ten times more. What more could I ask for?

Su Mu shook his head and turned his attention back to the cable car.

The planting platform has already been placed in the corner; it's the one Lin Yuwei acquired through the transaction.

The square wooden structure is about half a meter wide and just deep enough to bury the entire blood ginseng, including its roots. There is a thin layer of nutrient soil on the surface, which comes with the system, but the amount is not enough.

Su Mu poured in the bags of soil he had brought down from the mountain, spread it out, added some mineral water, and mixed the soil well. Then he carefully took the blood ginseng out of the damp soil, placed it in the center of the planting platform, and covered the roots with soil.

The moment the roots touch the soil...

The blood ginseng moved.

It wasn't the kind of swaying caused by the wind, but rather the entire plant seemed to come alive, its roots quickly burrowing into the soil, its stems and leaves trembling slightly, as if it were stretching its body.

In just a few seconds, it transformed from "a plant buried in the soil" into "a plant growing in the soil," becoming one with the soil as if it had always been there.

Su Mu was taken aback.

This thing can actually burrow into the ground by itself?

He recalled the scene on the mountain... The blood ginseng was buried at the bottom of the pit, and if it weren't for the shrapnel from the grenade severing the roots and causing the sap to seep out, he would never have discovered it.
