After this voice fell.
This brand new Green Stone Square, accompanied by a slight wriggle of the ground, suddenly saw a large number of peach trees growing from the ground. Each peach tree bore exactly 10 peaches, with 6 green peaches, 3 Purple peaches, and 1 Seven-colored peach.
And at the very center, a peach tree bore only three fruits, specifically three Black peaches.
At this mont, looking up.
You can see countless massive peach trees growing in the Nihility outside the Green Stone Square. At a distance, these peach trees might seem normal, but as you draw closer, deep into the Peach Forest, you realize these trees growing in the Nihility are incredibly gigantic.
Each peach tree stands hundreds of zhang tall, their size comparable to the Barbarian Tribe.
Chen Qiu had never seen such enormous peach trees.
And these peach trees growing in the Nihility mostly bore no fruit. At a glance, only two trees bore peaches, and just a few at that. However, the size of these peaches was sowhat intimidating.
Although it’s unclear what these peaches are, they’re undoubtedly good stuff.
After all, anything growing in the Nihility couldn’t be ordinary, and these peach trees that just grew out of the Green Stone Square are identical to those in the Nihility, even a pocket version, the only difference being their much smaller size.
"This really tests your luck, though I’m unsure what would happen if I consud a thread of Heavenly Pride Fortune?"
Standing beside Chen Qiu, Ba Dan pondered that this event clearly relied on luck.
Or rather, on choice.
If you’re looking to play it safe, then the "green peach" is undoubtedly the best. There’s only a 10% chance of encountering misfortune, but a 50% chance of finding fortune. If your luck isn’t too bad, it’s essentially a win-win situation, even if it’s just a lower-grade fortune.
If you’re a bit greedy.
The Purple peach would be the optimal choice.
If you believe your fate is tough enough.
The "Seven-colored peach" naturally becos the best choice.
However, there’s a 70% chance of random misfortune and only a 10% chance of fortune, making it quite the gamble.
As for the "Black peach"...
That’s entirely for those looking for death, with a 99% chance of random misfortune. What difference does that make to 100%?
As Ba Dan finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from nearby, as a young man stepped forth: "I was fortunate enough to gain a thread of Earth Pride Luck at the ’Masked Banquet,’ so I won’t hold back this ti."
With that, the young man aid directly at a Seven-colored peach.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he plucked the fruit. Monts later, he suddenly froze in place. He didn’t imdiately drop dead but, after a mont, looked around in despair, voice trembling: "I... I have ’Immortal Cancer!’ "
It was evident that the young man’s luck wasn’t great. The luck offered by Earth Pride Luck seed not to have any particularly good effect.
Those around him, upon hearing the words "Immortal Cancer," instinctively stepped away from the young man.
"Immortal Cancer" isn’t contagious.
But this heavenly disease is so infamous in the Immortal Realm; there’s no one who isn’t terrified of it. Just like Ba Dan, who was the strongest of the Barbarian Tribe, almost perished after contracting "Immortal Cancer." If not for a mysterious savior, Ba Dan wouldn’t be the Barbarian Tribe Leader today, but a long-dead man with grass grown atop his grave.
At this point, everyone understood that the so-called misfortune was indeed Immortal Cancer.
...
After witnessing this.
The joyous smile on Ba Dan’s face quickly faded. Clearly, if Earth Pride Luck didn’t work, his Heavenly Pride Fortune likely wouldn’t fare better. He initially wanted to try the Seven-colored peach, but now even the green peach seed unappealing.
After all, the green peach still had a 10% chance to bring misfortune.
He didn’t want to risk contracting "Immortal Cancer" again.
He was truly scared.
"..."
Chen Qiu, with a complex expression, gazed at the peaches before him. Just after the rule-announcing voice fell silent, a peach leaf gently drifted from a branch into his palm.
Grasping this leaf, he saw the essence of these peaches.
The peaches hanging on the trees cycled between "misfortune," "fortune," and "nothing happens" at a constant pace, with varying frequencies based on probability.
For instance, the green peaches.
There was a 50% chance of gaining a lower-grade fortune, a 40% chance of nothing happening, and a 10% chance of misfortune.
Thus, on the peaches’ surface, ten terms cycled at a constant rate: five "fortune," four "nothing happens," and one "misfortune." When a peach is plucked, the term on it at that mont triggers the respective event.
When the young man picked the Seven-colored peach earlier, Chen Qiu saw that the terms on its surface cycled to "misfortune," being the last of seven consecutive misfortune terms. The next term was "fortune."
If the young man had spoken two more words or delayed picking the peach by a breath, the event triggered would have been fortune instead of misfortune.
