The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

However, to his surprise, there was no limit to the number of times it could be used.

The superpowered eggs he won in the previous lotteries had already given him a psychological trauma.

Where's the promised superpower possession? It turns out it's all just trial cards. Anyone would be annoyed by this.

Pulling his thoughts back from their reverie, Li Can fastened the wolf-skin cloak around his neck.

Even if it didn't have that effect, he felt it was worth it and could be used as a fur coat with excellent warmth.

Most importantly, Li Can cannot store other supplies in the toy box in his consciousness space; he can only carry them with him.

All the items obtained from these gashapon capsules, whether used or unused, or partially used, can be recycled and placed into their respective toy boxes.

It looks quite childlike and fun.

"Hmm... I'll try making up some identity right now..." Li Can pondered the use of the wolf skin. If it could disguise his identity, he would prefer to infiltrate the underground laboratory.

Since this hospital illusion is dragging on and Lin Wanyan's resurrection has failed, why not go underground and take a look next?

He was quite curious as to why there hadn't been any movement from these people since the alarm went off.

There's just one thing: he had to howl like a wolf three times first. Is that something a human would do?

Despite being wrapped in a thick fur coat, Li Can didn't feel hot in the office. It was July, and the caregiver's uniform she was wearing was just right for the temperature.

But there's something special about this wolf pelt. Li Can was very satisfied with this new resource egg; it cost 100 points of near-death value to draw once, making it a huge profit.

It seems even the unlucky can turn their luck around and become incredibly lucky.

A smile played on his lips, and his eyes were filled with anticipation for the next supply egg.

Li Can twisted the egg's body from side to side, and the next moment a pair of white Zuli Jian elderly shoes fell out of the air, the size of which was just right and could fit him.

【running shoes】

Wearing these running shoes will guarantee you won't have flat feet, will keep your legs nimble, will help you win a first-place marathon, will prevent you from getting ingrown toenails, and will free you from tying shoelaces—because we have the most amazing adhesive design!

"Thank you so much..."

Li Can was taken aback by the lame joke in the description of the shoes.

Although he didn't know the specific function of this thing, since it was produced by a gashapon machine, it should at least be more useful than ordinary shoes.

With that in mind, Li Can decisively took off his old shoes and put on running shoes.

He looked at the new shoes and laughed at himself. Oh well, if it says it's called "Running Shoes," then so be it. Why should he argue with an egg over the wording?

With her emotions gradually cooling down, Li Can was much calmer when she twisted open the last supply egg.

"Pop." A sound suddenly rang out in the air, similar to the sound of a cork being pulled out of a glass jar.

Li Can hurriedly searched around for where the new supplies had fallen, but couldn't find them anywhere.

It's as if it vanished into thin air, or perhaps it never existed at all?

Then, a small note popped out of the supplies gacha.

Li Can picked up the note with disbelief. Could it be that this is the supply this time?

As a result, when the note was opened, a line of large characters was clearly written on it.

Thank you for your patronage. Here's a kiss as a reward, mwah~

Li Can looked as if he had seen a ghost and hurriedly threw the note as far as he could.

He didn't win anything, and to make matters worse, they even sent him some kind of kiss to disgust him.

He felt something was off when he first heard the sound, and now he's practically having a heart attack.

"So gacha pulls don't guarantee a 100% drop rate."

However, through this incident, Li Can also realized the bug in the gacha system. In that sense, he was quite lucky in his previous draws, getting supplies every time.

If you mess with his mentality like this from the beginning, he... well, there's not much he can do. It's infuriating.

After composing herself, Li Can looked up at the corpses of Lin Wanyan and Fang Yi.

It's been about ten minutes since I injected her with the [Resurrection] potion, and she still hasn't reacted at all.

Even if it's just a few wrinkles smoothing out, that's progress and a breakthrough.

Li Can's experiment on Lin Wanyan didn't go smoothly, leading him to doubt whether Dean Wang Yaxiang had actually succeeded...

Turning his gaze away, Li Can put his last 100 points into the puppet gashapon machine.

"Smack."

One capsule after another was tumbling around, like oval-shaped billiard balls fighting.

This reminded Li Can of when he used to buy lottery tickets and watch the host draw the results on TV, where the colorful balls would always appear unexpectedly.

Ten puppet eggs fell from the machine's exit in one go.

This time, Li Can was no longer the greenhorn who didn't know how to use the gashapon machine when he first transmigrated. He was completely at ease using his mental control to keep the gashapon machines in his consciousness space.

With conscious control, he selected a few of them, like choosing soldiers and generals.

Li Can twisted open the first one.

"Empty."

He wasn't too surprised. It seemed to be the same old way of playing: you had to go outside and catch dead monsters or zombies, collect them into an empty eggshell, and then they would become a puppet egg with a soul.

Continue twisting open the second, third... until the tenth...

"Sure enough, they were all empty."

As he expected, Li Can put these directly into the puppet toy box, letting the empty gashapon shells lie there with their predecessors.

Speaking of the puppet eggs, Li Can recalled the gold coins he received as a reward after upgrading a novice puppet.

At that time, I hadn't received the information about the near-death value yet, but I had unlocked the ability to convert upgrades into gacha coins.

Based on the exchange rate, the gold coin value is roughly equivalent to the near-death value.

One gold coin equals 100 points of near-death value, which can be exchanged for 10 puppet eggs and 1 resource egg.

10 gold coins = 1000 points of near-death value, which can be exchanged for 1 superpower egg.

"So it's all the same, they really don't give anyone a single loophole."

Li Can found the four remaining gold coins from the last lottery in his spatial storage, but after thinking about it, he put them down and decided not to continue the lottery.

What I have now seems to be more than enough...

"Wait a minute, it's hard to obtain near-death points from my own body, but if I level up the puppet and get gold coins, wouldn't the danger be reduced a hundredfold?"

Li Can instantly felt like he had found a broad and promising road.

The road ahead is wide open.

But how exactly is the level of a puppet determined, and what is the boundary between the initial and advanced levels?

Is there any other gentler policy than sending out puppets to fight other monsters and absorb each other's flesh and blood to increase their energy levels?

Thinking about this, Li Can felt it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't see his puppets with health bars and mana bars like in a game.

"It would be great if we could visualize and display the stats of the puppets."

"In this way, I can use the numerical curves to determine their strategy and control the continuous production of gacha coins."

With more gold coins, he could try his luck at drawing resource eggs and ability eggs. Even if he got some useless items or just a thank you for his patronage, Li Can felt he wouldn't care too much.

Furthermore, the large number of puppets, which are constantly being upgraded and evolved, significantly increases one's own combat power.

This deal looks like a sure thing, with no risk of loss.

So, to truly master the game, this is the correct way to use the puppet.

Li Can immediately made a new decision.

"All in!"

"Snap." He put all four of his last gold coins into the puppet gashapon machine.

Suddenly, it started to drizzle at the gashapon machine's opening.

"Whoosh..." In the consciousness space, 40 empty puppet egg shells emerged one after another.

Li Can stood up, stretched his neck and wrists, and made a few crisp cracking sounds.

"Then, the next step is to acquire a large number of puppets."
