The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 614 Osmanthus Base
The hot pot meal was extremely enjoyable, and it was only 2 PM, perfect for going back to lie down.

Lu Li also went upstairs to lie down. Anyway, the RV can be driven without human intervention as long as the destination is set.

It will also avoid various obstacles on the road and choose the most suitable route.

As soon as I lay down in bed, sleepiness gradually crept in.

The system was helpless; no matter when, it never disturbed this woman's deep sleep!

The RV drove obediently and arrived at the Osmanthus Base in the evening.

Similar to the naming principle of the pine cone base, there is an osmanthus tree in the center of the osmanthus base.

Extremely large.

Lu Li could see it from outside the base; this osmanthus tree was taller than most of the buildings on the base.

It was particularly lush, and it seemed to have even bloomed with yellow flowers. When the wind blew, it carried a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

"What season is it? Why is it still blooming?" Lu Li didn't know much about osmanthus trees.

I only remember that when I was in school, the campus was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in September and October.

But it's already December, and the weather is so cold, how can it still bloom so profusely?
It's probably another mutated osmanthus tree, Lu Li guessed.

She immediately thought of the pine trees outside the pine cone base and hoped that nothing similar would happen again.

Lu Li asked cautiously, "Can you see that osmanthus tree in bloom?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately looked in the direction she was pointing, and when they saw the osmanthus tree in bloom, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

This time everyone can see it.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Shen Bing reassured them, "Don't worry."

Lu Li felt relieved. It wasn't that she was afraid of this or that, but she just felt uncomfortable.

You can't always be on edge, afraid someone is watching you, can you? That would be too tiring.

It was already evening, and Luli didn't plan to open for business.

So they were told to go home and that the doors would be opened to receive guests promptly the next morning.

……

My first day at the Osmanthus Base.

It was still packed with people, but no big prizes were won. Lu Li wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently.

She also found out that it was not a mutated osmanthus tree.

It is the base chief's special ability that allows him to stand in the center of the base year-round, protecting everyone.

It serves to monitor surrounding activities, protect residents, and purify the air.

The residents have gotten used to it.

The fact that the osmanthus tree is still there means that the base is doing well, and that the base is safe and sound.

……

The second day at the Osmanthus Base.

Wow, a big prize has been won, but it's not the shop.

She was overjoyed that it was related to the osmanthus tree and that the base manager had scraped it off.

But I'm hesitant about which feature to choose.

Hesitant, she decided to go and discuss it with Boss Lu.

So, Lu Li invited the base chief into the RV, and the two sat facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

"What options are available?" Lu Li broke the silence.

"Let me see. The first one is to advance to the seventh rank. I really want that because I've been stuck at the sixth rank for two years!"

Lu Li nodded, indicating that she understood. As long as the apocalypse continues, leveling up is a mandatory course for all superpowered individuals.

Each promotion provides a safeguard for yourself and your family.

“Continue,” Lu Li said.

"The second one is that it can increase the detection range of the osmanthus tree by 100 meters. I want that too. Each level increases it by 20 meters, so this would be 100 meters all at once."

The base commander's eyes gleamed with admiration. As expected of a lottery shop, the rewards they offered were truly astonishing.

Each leaf of the osmanthus tree is its own eye, and this is its essence.

The current detection range is 120 meters in diameter, centered on the osmanthus tree. Selecting this function would add 100 meters directly.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Anyway, the base commander was really tempted.

"The third one is to add a protective cover for the osmanthus tree. Oh my, that's good too. They're all so good, how am I supposed to choose!"

The base commander started to worry; all three options were so tempting, she wanted them all…

Why can't you give her one really good one and two average ones, so she can choose without even thinking?

Lu Li also thought all three were good, but this kind of thing needs to be analyzed one by one.

"What are your thoughts on advancing to the next level? Is it possible to push forward if you work hard?" Lu Li asked.

"Logically speaking, as long as I work hard to cultivate, I will eventually reach the seventh level, but... who knows when that day will come?"

The base commander gave a bitter smile. Ten years had passed, and she was only at the sixth level. It would only get harder as she progressed.

She wasn't particularly gifted; she spent almost a third of her time cultivating every day.

One-third of the time was spent on base affairs, while the remaining third was naturally spent on trivial matters such as eating, sleeping, and urinating.

Lu Li remained silent, then murmured, "That makes sense."

"Then why not choose the 100-meter option? Anyway, you only gain 20 meters with each level up, but you need to level up five times to get this 100-meter option," Lu Li suggested.

If you're looking for a protective shield, it's more cost-effective to just buy one yourself.

Why bother choosing from three options? Wouldn't that be a waste?

In fact, the base commander also preferred to increase the detection range by 100 meters.

It's described as a detection range, but it encompasses many things, such as attack and defense.

Every leaf, every osmanthus blossom, every branch—all were used by her.

It's fair to say that no one of the same level of ability user, or even a seventh-level ability user, can defeat her within her detection range.

She is invincible.

After careful consideration, the base commander quickly made a decision, "Then let's go with the second option!"

Upon redeeming the rewards, the base commander instantly felt a different sense of satisfaction.

Her range of perception has greatly increased, and a flood of information has taken over her mind.

The base commander did not linger, quickly took his leave, and returned to the base.

She needs time to adapt before she can use it better.

Seeing that she was eager to return to the base, Lu Li did not try to stop her, but simply said, "Come visit often when you have time."

It was another fulfilling and busy day. As closing time approached, a night market machine was set up.

But this time it has nothing to do with food.

It's a ring toss game.

When Lu Li saw it, there were already customers happily taking pictures.

The surrounding customers even made a space for him, and the stall owner was very casual about it.

The goods were placed directly on the ground, in six columns and seven rows, which was fairly neat.

Lu Li was also watching from the crowd, squinting her eyes for a while.

The goods displayed on the ground were quite good, such as fifth-order crystal cores, a case of mineral water, and a case of instant noodles.

A basket of fruit, a free meal voucher from a restaurant under the Luli Group...

These things sound big and hard to fit, right?
But what was actually placed on the ground was just a bottle of water, a cup of instant noodles, and a piece of fruit.

However, the quantity is marked on it, so you have to go to the stall owner to exchange it after you get the winning one.

If you can get it, you've made a profit. Why do I say that? Lu Li glanced at it and saw that it was one crystal core with ten rings.

That is, ten points make one circle, and what item on the ground is worth more than one crystal core?

Anyway, Lu Li thinks it's a pretty good deal.

The system always seems to be trying to make money by earning just a few points.

She was too lazy to explain; as long as she made a profit and didn't lose money, she considered it a donation.
