Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Sam came back with his pants hitched up, staring blankly at the empty space in front of him.

A moment later.

He gently bumped Gandis\'s shoulder, looked forward, and incredulously asked, "Are you saying that while I was peeing, that guy caught the Lion King?"

"No, not caught."

Gandis shook his head and took another breath, "He rode away on it."

"Rode?"

Sam wiped his hand on Gandis\'s shoulder, "You mean, that guy just now, rode away on the back of that mutated lion king?"

"Of course, do you need the translator in your ear to translate what I said?"

Gandis shook his head, and broke off a waist-high blade of grass next to him, "I can guarantee that he is the strongest puppeteer I have ever seen. Do you know how he did it?"

"You know, I was peeing at that time."

"He swaggered over, walked in front of the lion, reached out and touched the lion\'s chin, and then the lion followed him. Just a touch conquered the mutant lion king, which made me know what the ceiling of a puppeteer is!"

"..."

"..."

The two were silent for a while.

Sam looked in the distance with a frown, "The Lion King was taken away by that guy, we saved our lives, but we can\'t go back empty-handed today, right? The protection fee is due."

Gandis thought for a while, "This area is so big, let\'s go and look for it, maybe we can catch a mutated little poisonous snake. As long as what we hand in is a mutated creature, we can make some money."

"What if we encounter another strong one? I think we should follow the path of that person just now, it will be safer that way."

"Sam, are you stupid? That person is so strong, is there anything left for us where he has been?"

"Gandis, you\'re also a fool. Why do we have to catch it ourselves? Why not buy it from that guy just now?"

"What you said seems to make sense."

"Of course, why should we risk our lives for something that can be solved with a few thousand gold coins?"

...

Atop a four-footed lion standing 2 meters tall, a little frog pup with a vibrant red body and ghostly blue limbs was squatting, they were leisurely walking on the grassland.

Not far behind them, a short-haired young man in black followed, sniffing the scent wafting in the air as he walked.

To be precise, he was sniffing the scent of wild animals.

[Your Merlin patted the lion and thought it was a fool. They had rehearsed many times before, the lion should expose its belly when it sees Ming. Why did it forget everything after meeting him... Roar~]

[Merlin seriously and solemnly told the lion that even if it was poisoned and its body became rigid, it must complete the orders it was given, otherwise, it would ignore it in the future... Roar~]

[Merlin felt that the lion was very gentle, it had never refused its requests. It was a good lion, and assured it that it would never use it as a guinea pig~]

"..."

Ming smiled, looking towards the north.

He caught a scent of a musky odor, the unique scent of herbivores, it seems like there should be a big catch over there.

Then he whistled and pointed towards the north.

[Your Merlin received the command, patted the lion, and announced that they were going north~]

[Merlin praised the lion, telling it was very smart and excellent... Roar~]

"..."

Ming shook his head. For some reason, the frog pups didn\'t seem to have much affection for their own kind. Instead, they seemed more interested in other creatures.

The lion in front of them was a good example.

Not long ago, Ming came to this area and let the frogs go on their own journey.

Merlin just happened to run into this lion. The moment the two creatures locked eyes, they had a strange connection.

That\'s why Merlin taught the lion to behave well when it saw itself.

That\'s why, when he walked up and rubbed it earlier, it joined their family. Things were just that magical, this must be the so-called love in the legends.

Moreover, this lion wasn\'t a wild boss, but a five-star creature.

[Five-star Steadfast Lion King]

[...]

[Introduction: Living in the African savannah, it was driven out of \'home\' before it came of age. It wandered alone in the wild, had been bullied by hyenas, robbed by African wild dogs, threatened by cheetahs, and paid protection fees to leopards. But it eventually survived tenaciously and gradually became stronger...]

"..."

Ming glanced at Merlin and the Lion King in the distance, your kind of love is doomed to be fruitless, huh?

Eh?

"I wonder where those two went?"

"Don\'t go and provoke anything with exclamation marks."

He looked around and could no longer see Da Vinci and Foodie.

These two, they must have been up to no good, right?

[Your Da Vinci opened its eyes, bounced up, looked around with its head raised, and didn\'t see you. Then it comfortably lay on the ground, nudged the sleeping Foodie with its leg, and said, \'Lazy bones, it\'s time to wake up~\']

[Foodie blinked, looked around, and told Da Vinci, \'Let\'s just gather some stuff to report back to Ming later, he doesn\'t know we\'re slacking off~\']

"Oh~ so you two are sleeping."

Ming looked into the distance. It seemed he had been too indulgent with them lately.

Sniff sniff~

Human scent.

"Hello~ Wait for us~"

At this moment, the sounds of shouting and the quick footsteps of someone running through the wild grass came from behind.

Ming turned his head to see the two fellows who had been lying on the ground earlier. He looked at Sam, who had arrived close to him, "Thank goodness you\'re still alive."

"If it wasn\'t for you, we might really have died. Thank you so much for just now."

Sam raised his arm with a smile, intending to shake hands.

"It\'s okay~ It\'s okay~"

Ming didn\'t raise his hand because the other party didn\'t wash his hands after peeing. This was something he could clearly smell under his nose.

[Sam]

[Level 38 Charger]

…

[Gandis]

[Level 39 Puppet Master]

…

"What do you want from me?"

Ming gave them a glance. The main thing was, there wasn\'t anything for them to do at the moment, so finding him didn\'t make much sense.

Maybe there would be in a little while~

"We know you\'re a powerful puppet master, and we want to do some small business with you."

Sam withdrew his hand, habitually rubbing his nose... uh... he knew why the other party didn\'t shake hands with him. It wasn\'t arrogance, it was thought He was too dirty...

"Do some small business?"

Ming smiled, "In principle, I\'m not interested in a business that\'s less than 500,000 gold coins."

"..."

Sam and Gandis hung their heads low.

Thinking about their total fortune of 4012 gold coins, they suddenly felt that the world was not very friendly.
