Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Hearing Nelly's mutterings, Lin Xiao's voice came from underground.

"Huh? What did you just say? Say it again? Fortune?" Lin Xiao's exclamation came from underground, startling Nelly.

"W-what's going on? Why haven't you left yet?"

Lin Xiao hadn't actually left; he had simply used the power to control the earth that he gained after consuming the Rock Essence Pill to instantly sink his body to the ground.

He originally intended to hide underground for a while and think about how to get through the next two weeks. After all, he felt that there were still terrifying creatures like shadowy crawlers around him, while underground would be slightly safer.

However, he didn't expect to hear some interesting news while hiding underground.

Lin Xiao placed his hands on Nelly's shoulders, staring intently at her as he asked, "What did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by fortune allocation? And what about 15 days?"

Seeing Lin Xiao approaching, Nelly began to tremble. To prevent anything from happening to her, Nelly quickly explained her talent.

When Lin Xiao heard about the S-level talent "Fortune Control" and how Nelly had concentrated all her luck for the next 15 days into that one moment just 10 minutes ago, Lin Xiao slapped his forehead.

"I really don't know whether to thank you or hate you. I was just looking for this place called Ruins, and I never expected that just one wish from you would pull me here..."

Nelly and Lin Xiao are almost two extremes. One is incredibly lucky, while the other... nothing like source crystal ore has spawned near his safe house so far.

Lin Xiao, who was becoming increasingly insecure about her luck, suddenly encountered someone who could control her luck.

"Cough cough..."

"Um... could I also experience the feeling of being incredibly lucky?" Lin Xiao withdrew his hand from Nelly's shoulder and then gave her a friendly smile.

When Nelly saw Lin Xiao's sudden change in attitude, she rolled her eyes. However, since she still needed Lin Xiao's combat power to protect her, Nelly finally agreed to Lin Xiao's request.

Moreover, in Nelly's opinion, this guy who could potentially be the world's number one is very likely someone who got there because of his talent.

Since talent could send him here, it means that he is not the kind of person who is particularly vicious, and at least relatively speaking, he will not be a threat to me.

"Alright, alright, 10 minutes! Let you experience what it feels like to be favored by heaven!"

Nelly smiled confidently, then pointed her index finger at Lin Xiao.

Nelly then withdrew her hand, clapped twice, and said, "Alright, you'll have ten minutes to make your wish come true."

Lin Xiao touched her body and didn't feel anything special.

Although Lin Xiao felt he had been tricked, he didn't make a fuss. He could wait 10 minutes.

Time passed second by second, one minute, two minutes, three minutes, five minutes passed, and nothing happened.

However, Lin Xiao's expression remained somewhat composed, but inwardly he began to have doubts.

But when he glanced at Nelly in front of him, he saw that she still had a confident expression, so Lin Xiao quietly held back.

Eight minutes passed slowly, but nothing happened.

Even Nelly herself was starting to feel a little uncertain, but on the surface, she still maintained a confident expression.

Another minute has passed. Now, there is one minute left until the nine minutes Nelly mentioned. Ten minutes will pass in a row.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to give up, a rustling sound came from behind him.

Lin Xiao sighed and casually unleashed a sword aura, cleaving the shadowy crawler in two.

He was about to say something when he saw Nelly's eyes suddenly light up, so Lin Xiao turned around to look back.

A treasure chest fell from the spot where he had just killed the shadowy crawler.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly remembered that during the 7-day safe period, there was a chance to get items by killing mist creatures.

After the safe period ended, although he killed some mist creatures, none of them dropped any items, so Lin Xiao gradually forgot about it.

But unexpectedly, in the ruins, or rather, in a state of so-called overflowing luck, he experienced this situation again.

"Hurry, while our luck is at its peak, with only thirty-odd seconds left, open the treasure chest quickly, otherwise who knows what we'll get once the time is up!"

When Nelly saw that something had actually dropped, she got excited and urged Lin Xiao to open the treasure chest quickly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly stepped forward, and Nelly followed closely behind.

Lin Xiao carefully placed his hand on the treasure chest, and then, in the last 10 seconds of his incredible luck, he opened it.

In the very center of the treasure chest lay something quietly. Nelly glanced at it, and her face fell.

"What on earth happened? How come the treasure chest only gave me one item, and it's just a scroll that doesn't seem to be of much use!"

This was the first time Nelly had doubts about her talent, but what she didn't see was that Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw the scroll.

When Nelly cast the Luck Explosion spell on Lin Xiao, this scroll was the one that flashed through Lin Xiao's mind.

"If having amazing luck really works, then I hope I can get the third scroll to upgrade my talent level..." This was the thought that flashed through Lin Xiao's mind.

[Talent Level Up Scroll]

And now, the scroll for upgrading talent levels is right in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao excitedly reached out and picked up the scroll that showed how to improve one's talent level.

When Nelly saw Lin Xiao's trembling arm, she assumed he was dissatisfied with the item.

"Oh well, I don't know why my talent didn't work on you. Next time you need something, just tell me and I'll get it for you!"

After Lin Xiao put the talent level upgrade scroll into his system inventory, his excitement gradually subsided. He took a deep look at Nelly, a survivor from another country.

"Controlling one's fortune..." Lin Xiao muttered softly.

Looking at Nelly, who was inexplicably unguarded towards him, an idea came to Lin Xiao's mind.

"I need to think of a way to abduct her... no, to bring her to my territory and protect her. My talent for controlling fortune is incredibly helpful to me!"
