Chapter 49: Unexpected Discovery
While netizens from all sides enthusiastically joined the fans club, Qi Xuan’s Live Stream was still ongoing.
To be honest, he originally thought that he might not be able to successfully kill the Circular-Patterned Leech during the afternoon’s Live Stream.
He had even prepared to interrupt the Live Stream at any time; after all, Live Streams continuously consumed energy, which was equivalent to him naturally fighting with a debuff.
If he could win against his opponent, then it would be fine, but if he couldn’t win, for the sake of his life, he would definitely have to interrupt the Live Stream.
He didn’t expect that this Circular-Patterned Leech would be much weaker than he had imagined.
Qi Xuan reflected on it afterward, and he found that it wasn’t that the Circular-Patterned Leech had become weaker, but that he had become stronger.
He had become too strong.
When he was first ambushed by the opponent, he didn’t even have the thought of revenge.
Because the Water Arrows were too fast; even though there was a distance between them, he couldn’t successfully evade them. It was conceivable how troublesome the opponent was.
But after advancing to Qi Refining Stage Two, especially after awakening his 【Spiritual Sense】, during close-range combat, he could even evade the opponent’s Water Arrows in advance.
And the most crucial thing was that because of the burden of the Live Stream, he wasn’t in his peak state and couldn’t go all out.
According to Qi Xuan’s estimation, if there was no Live Stream debuff and he fought with all his might, this Circular-Patterned Leech would likely not even be able to release Water Arrows before he was killed in advance.
“Not bad.”
“At least I now have a certain ability to protect myself.”
“As long as I don’t encounter a monster of the Giant Octopus’s level, even if it’s a bit stronger than the Circular-Patterned Leech, relying on the 【Spiritual Sense】’s terrifying bonus, even if I can’t win, at least I can escape.”
Qi Xuan was very satisfied with the results of this battle.
But he also knew that there might be even more powerful ferocious beasts nearby than the Circular-Patterned Leech.
It wasn’t every time he encountered a monster of the Giant Octopus’s level that he could successfully escape.
In the final analysis, everything still depended on his own strength.
Only by becoming stronger himself could he gain more security, could he freely explore the Jungle, and fear no danger.
It’s just that now, because the Spiritual Energy outside is too thin, relying solely on cultivation to improve is too time-consuming.
The only accelerator that could be used was the system Lottery.
Popularity is the core!
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan didn’t delay any further, and had the camera get closer to the already dead Circular-Patterned Leech, giving it a detailed introduction at close range.
No matter what, there definitely wasn’t this thing on Blue Star. Even if they just watched it out of curiosity, it should be able to increase his Popularity Points.
The facts were indeed as Qi Xuan had thought.
After the Live Stream ended today, he dragged the huge spoils of war back to the Shelter.
During his rest, he opened the Lottery page, and the upper right corner was a glaring 21B.
21B!
Since the Live Stream began, it was the first time it had exceeded 20!
If he only drew the lowest-grade Black Iron Grade, he could draw a full twenty-one times!
Even if he only drew Bronze Grade, he could draw twice!
This was an unprecedented huge harvest!
At this moment, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but start to fantasize. If he saved up for five days, wouldn’t he be able to conduct a higher-level Silver Grade Lottery?
But this thought only lingered for a moment before it quickly shattered.
The reason was also very simple.
First, he couldn’t wait for five days at all.
In this dangerous Jungle, quickly increasing his strength was more important than anything else.
He needed to quickly convert the Popularity Points into usable combat power in his hands.
Assuming that he didn’t draw the Qi Replenishing Pill yesterday, and he accidentally ran into the Circular-Patterned Leech today, then it would definitely be a fierce battle of life and death. Even if he could win, he would probably be severely injured.
Even if he wasn’t careful, it was possible to die in battle.
It wouldn’t allow him to continue saving up Popularity Points.
Furthermore, even if he saved up to Silver Grade, it wouldn’t necessarily be useful.
Although the probability of drawing treasures in Silver Grade was higher than in Bronze Grade, since it was a probability, there was a situation where he couldn’t draw anything.
In case he saved up for five days and finally drew a Belt, then he wouldn’t even know whether to laugh or cry.
Finally, even if he had five days, he probably wouldn’t be able to save up to Silver Grade.
The reason he could harvest 21B today was entirely because he killed the Circular-Patterned Leech.
But it wasn’t every day that he could encounter a monster comparable to the Circular-Patterned Leech.
Even after the netizens got used to this level of monster, he would have to hunt even more powerful monsters to possibly obtain the same Popularity Points as before.
However, Qi Xuan was still quite optimistic about the future.
In the final analysis, there shouldn’t be many netizens on Blue Star watching his Live Stream yet, and there was still the possibility of further increases.
Furthermore, his strength wasn’t unchangeable.
As he continuously broke through his Realm, as he continuously obtained new abilities, as the treasures he drew increased, as his exploration of the Otherworld became deeper, he would definitely be able to bring more shock to the Blue Star netizens.
The future is promising!
Completely promising!
Qi Xuan was full of confidence.
Putting away his drifting thoughts, Qi Xuan’s attention returned to the Lottery Turntable in front of him.
21B, ah, shouldn’t he give it a good draw on the spot?
Qi Xuan didn’t delay either, and drew it fiercely on the spot.
For the first draw, he spent money like water and went for a Bronze Grade.
The pointer turned and turned, and finally landed inside 【various materials】.
“It seems like I’m not destined to get Pills.”
“Oh well, I’ll accept a Spiritual Grass too.”
He touched the Light Ball.
The drop was a bulletproof Vest.
Seeing this result, Qi Xuan was both disappointed and not disappointed.
The disappointment was naturally that he drew a Mortal item.
The lack of disappointment was that the bulletproof Vest was very useful, and even among Mortal items, it was a fine product.
“Finally, I can remove the wooden boards on my body, at least it can make me feel more comfortable.”
After putting on the bulletproof Vest and feeling its defense, Qi Xuan felt quite satisfied.
Although the bulletproof Vest couldn’t resist all damage, it could at least reduce a portion, and this reduced portion might be his chance to survive.
Then Qi Xuan started the second draw, a 1B Black Iron Grade.
He didn’t expect to get anything good, but it wasn’t bad, and he actually drew a Compass.
Although he would make all kinds of marks every time he explored the Jungle, if he encountered a terrifying Torrential Rain like before, he might get lost directly in the wild.
With a Compass, he could at least distinguish the direction.
Next was the last draw, also the second Bronze Grade.
Qi Xuan rubbed his hands, and was a little nervous for a moment.
He couldn’t help but go to the side to relieve himself, and then officially started the draw.
This draw also landed inside 【various materials】.
Concentrating his mind, after a full three seconds, Qi Xuan finally touched the Light Ball.
This time, what exploded out was actually a Spiritual Grass.
If it was an ordinary Spiritual Grass, then it would be fine. Even if he couldn’t refine it into Pills and couldn’t plant it, it would be good to chew it in his mouth.
Unfortunately, what he drew this time was actually Corrosive Bone Grass, a highly potent poison grass that could be used to make various poisonous Pills.
“In a certain sense, it can also be considered a good thing.”
“If I poisoned my Folding Knife, maybe the first stab would kill the Circular-Patterned Leech.”
“Even if I can’t kill it, I can also greatly weaken its combat power.”
“Not a loss, not a loss.”
Qi Xuan carefully put away the Corrosive Bone Grass.
The Lottery was over, and it was time to deal with the spoils of war.
Such a big Circular-Patterned Leech… it should be edible, right…
Looking at the limp, stinky Corpses, Qi Xuan couldn’t accept it for a moment.
But soon, his gaze changed:
“No, this is…”
