Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Ming continued to dig elemental stones and didn\'t rush to get involved in the affairs between the creatures near the muddy pond.

His little froggies, Da Vinci and Foodie were all very good at socializing. In fact, every creature that was part of their household had been sweet-talked into joining by Da Vinci and Foodie.

[Your froglets watched the crocodile being trampled by the herbivorous creature. Da Vinci showed compassion and hopped over to the rhinoceros-like creature, which was clad in what seemed like heavy armor. "Hey, you should give the crocodile a dignified death. If you trample it into a sludge, you\'ll dirty the water in the pond, and you\'ll get sick drinking it. I\'m really worried... The crocodile is no longer struggling, it\'s waiting to die~]

[Just as Foodie was about to hop forward, little White stopped it. little white asked Foodie if it wanted to team up to fight the rhinoceros. It felt that it had been unable to defeat the rhinoceros on its own before, but now, with Foodie, they could give it a try...

[Foodie looked at little white and replied, "First dig a hole for yourself. I promise I\'ll pick up all your parts and bury them in it, and then have Ming set up a wooden sign for you, with the words [The Grave of Foolish little white] on it."]

"…"

Ming chuckled. 

He then put a piece of fire elemental stone into the storage box and casually asked Sam, "How many banks are there in the 1001 sector?"

"Banks?"

Sam was a bit surprised by this question. It was hard to say for other sectors, but in the 1001 sector, people would absolutely not give their money to anyone else, except for protection fees.

Of course, they might hand over their money when they had a knife pointed at their heart or throat.

He shook his head and replied, "There are none."

"Huh~"

Ming was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. It seemed strange to him that such a chaotic place didn\'t have any banks. Logically speaking, if they kept their money or valuable items in a bank, they shouldn\'t have to worry about being robbed, or at least, they wouldn\'t be robbed or killed on the spot.

But then again, in such a chaotic place, it wouldn\'t be possible to open a bank without some kind of power.

Because it\'s highly likely that a bank would be opened in the morning and then be robbed and go bankrupt in the afternoon.

Sam added, "Someone brought up the idea of banks before, but it eventually fizzled out. The specific reason might be related to the protection fees."

"Hmm."

Ming continued mining. It seemed like a good idea to open a bank in the 109th sector.

[Your Foodie slapped little white lightly, "You should learn from Da Vinci. You can\'t just think about fighting every day. That\'s the most foolish thing..."]

[Foodie rolled its eyes at little white, "What\'s the matter? You don\'t agree with me?"]

[Your Foodie knocked little white over with a headbutt. little white felt like it had never lost so completely before and decided to acknowledge Foodie as its boss... Foodie patted little white gently, "I don\'t lack brothers, what I lack is a means of transportation~."]

"Do you want to open a bank in the 1001 sector?"

Sam looked at Ming in surprise and ventured, "To open a bank, you need to be very powerful, so powerful that no one dares to harbor any ill intentions. In this world, there is only one person who can do that, and that\'s Ming."

"Really?"

Ming shook his head, "He\'s not powerful enough."

"Huh…"

Sam wanted to argue about how strong Ming was.

Ming had completed double kills at the epic level, and we haven\'t even seen the shadow of the imperial level yet. You say he\'s not strong enough, on what basis?

But in the end, he dismissed the idea of arguing. The person in front of him was also strong, and if the argument became too intense, it would easily lead to casualties. He thought about it and decided to drop it.

As long as he said in his heart, "You\'re not as good as Ming," that would be an argument for Ming.

[Your Da Vinci looked at the heavily armored black rhinoceros, "Do you want to live in a place where you can drink clear water that smells like lotus flowers every day...?" The black rhinoceros looked at Da Vinci, "What if you\'re tricking me?"]

[Da Vinci puffed out its chest, "If I trick you, you can come back here and drink muddy water soup, you won\'t lose anything... The black rhinoceros thought about it and felt that this proposal made sense~."]

"…"

Ming felt that this black rhinoceros truly had the potential for farming. After all, given its intellectual behavior, doing anything else would be a waste of its talent.

Now only the leopard was left.

He was curious about how the leopard\'s luck was.

[Your Merlin reassured the lion, "Don\'t worry about this leopard, it won\'t die. It\'s just been poisoned by me. Look, it\'s breathing weakly again~" The lion responded with a growl~]

[Merlin hopped onto the leopard\'s face, lifting its eyelid with a paw. He turned back to the lion and said, "But, its pupils are still dilating. However, it\'s not a problem. It might be okay if I use poison to counteract the poison~" The lion hesitated and responded with a growl~]

"…" 

Ming was wondering, what could the leopard do?

It had no ability to plow fields, no talent for driving, and no resistance to poison. It was a product with no features... So, was it most suitable for leopard print pants?

[Your Da Vinci sat on the back of the black rhino, feeling for the first time that the air a few meters high smelled a bit fresher. It saw a group of people in the bushes in the distance, stealthily approaching, holding various weapons in their hands. Da Vinci chirped, warning the black rhino to be careful... The black rhino turned to look at the bushes, and those people immediately stood up and shot arrows~]

[Da Vinci immediately alerted the rhino, "Dodge to the left!" The black rhino dodged, avoiding a feathered arrow that was shot... Then, several arrows were shot over. Da Vinci dodged and shouted at Foodie, "Watch out!"]

[Foodie dodged an arrow and patted little White\'s head, "It\'s time to fight...!" Little White didn\'t move, and asked Da Vinci on its head, "Didn\'t you say to subdue people with virtue?"]

[Your Foodie croaked in anger, "Subduing people with virtue is for dealing with people who have morals. These shameless sneak attackers have no morals at all. Charge!"]

"You guys keep digging, I\'ll be back in a bit."

Ming leaped up, summoning Raoul at the same time. He mounted it and soared into the sky, rushing towards the northwest.

He gave instructions to Alia who was standing on the edge of the pit, "Keep a close watch."

"Hehe~"

Alia responded to the flying duo, then turned her head to face Sam and Gandis who were staring blankly at the sky.

Sam quietly continued to mine elemental stones, whispering, "Gandis, did you see the eyes of the monster he was riding just now?"

"I... I saw it, orange! Imperial level!"

Gandis was both shocked and excited. This was his first time seeing an imperial level, and it was someone else\'s mount.

He was certain that this guy was absolutely the pinnacle of puppet masters!

Sam silently said, "He said earlier that Ming wasn\'t that strong~ I was scoffing at him in my heart, but now it seems that he had the right to say that."
