Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Nurturing a naive girl slowly and watching her grow does give a certain sense of accomplishment.

Although Ling Hansu may still not be of much value in Zhou Baiyu's eyes, if she could advance to the third rank, she might be able to provide quite substantial information.

And it was evident that Ling Hansu had become good at thinking.

Not only that, the young girl had also become quite courageous.

"Okay, then it's settled, President, no problem, right?"

The leader is, after all, the president, and Zhou Baiyu still needed to ask for confirmation.

Speaking to Guang Tongchen, she said:

"Can you guarantee her survival?"

"I can't, but if we're just comparing luck without cheating, her chances of survival are the highest."

This was all very simple, because Ling Hansu possessed a powerful trait—One Shot Soul.

To be assigned the body of a snow demon, to acquire the job of a Seer, to stay alive till now with such low CPU, and even to be redeemed and pass the redemption test successfully...

Zhou Baiyu didn't believe it was without incredibly good fortune.

Of course, good fortune doesn't mean that Ling Hansu will always have smooth sailing; it means that the various calamities her not-so-smart brain attracts can often be avoided thanks to her luck.

This world doesn't just have people who keep finding money and never encounter bad things deserve to be called lucky.

Feeling somewhat ashamed for only working intermittently every three days.

"The people from Hundred Rivers Guild... are indeed impressive, dammit, I, a warrior, am actually less decisive than a support profession!"

The number one warrior among the forerunners is Ke Zhongye from the Storm Righteousness Guild.

Ke Zhongye's another nickname is Ke Manlong. He's known as the domineering warrior who charges ahead.

Therefore, the members of Storm Righteousness Guild have all been taught by him that a warrior must dare to stand in front of others.

But obviously, the warrior-less Hundred Rivers Guild, from the ambiguously positioned Mutators to the completely support-oriented Seers... all were more valiant than them.

However, having three meals a day, the heart feels very relieved.

What happened next was quite simple.

Thanks to the different walker Jiang Xianwu's mutation, everyone made it through safely, albeit with some close calls.

And One Shot Soul Ling Hansu, in a certain sense, had an even bigger cheat than Zhou Baiyu.

Naturally, she also passed without any ripples.

Thus, everyone stood in front of the second event at the gambling table.

"I'll go," Zhou Baiyu didn't take a step forward, but signaled for the others not to come closer.

At the same time, Zhou Baiyu asked:

"Did any of you get cards?"

Guang Tongchen understood:

"Do you need a card for restoring energy?"

"Yes."

Without hesitation, Guang Tongchen gave Zhou Baiyu the card with a heart on it designed to restore stamina.

The Guileful Mule, Nimble Pawn and others also handed over their cards.

Of course, the members of Hundred Rivers Guild gave them willingly, but the ones from Storm Righteousness who ate three meals a day were somewhat twisted in their feelings—eager to refuse using the excuse that as the main tank they needed the stamina.

But the intermittent fisherman snatched the card and all were given to Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"Mutation drains a lot of my energy, but with my current ability combined with these cards, regardless of the next gamble, as long as I can come into contact with something related to the gamble, I am confident I can positively mutate an item."

"Moreover, don't feel too sad about these cards, guys. I think you should keep the experience cards to use for yourselves, and you should also consider distributing that physical acceleration card later on."

After speaking, Zhou Baiyu began the next round of the gamble.

It was still a gamble at the table, only this time it was a different table.

The bet was very simple this time, guessing suits—very traditional gambling game.

The puppet dealer was in charge of shuffling the cards, placing one card face down on the table, and the challenger had to guess the suit of the card.

The survival probability for the first round of the game was one in two.

By the second round, it became one in four. If you survived both rounds... in a purely luck-based situation, it was almost akin to a team wipeout.

This gambling den was, in fact, more terrifying than the monster wave outside.

But the rewards were also very generous, each round of the game would grant some one-time use items.

"[Round success, will unlock the next scene, and obtain a random item, which can only be used within this scene. If the clearance rating is high, there will be a certain chance to make the item permanent. If the performance in subsequent scenes is extremely outstanding, the item will be allowed to carry over into the original world.]"

"Through this round of the game, we can enter the next area and obtain..."

Zhou Baiyu shared the information he saw.

Everyone immediately became excited. An item that could be brought into the real world?

Such items had existed before, but their effects were usually weakened to some extent.

Even so, they were treasures of considerable value.

One Shot Soul was beyond thrilled:

"Come on, Brother Jiang! Our treasures are all up to you now."

Everyone was surprised by the substantial payout, except for Tongchen who frowned.

The leader of the Divine Consort Association, Huan Liuyan, owned such a treasure, called Exotic Perfume.

In simple terms, spraying this perfume naturally made one inclined to tell the truth and it was hard to resist Huan Liuyan's charm.

The most terrifying part was that this perfume could be brought into the real world.

It was an item obtained from Nightmare Bridge.

In version 2.0, during the recruitment battle of Nightmare Bridge, several guild leaders formed a team, and each had their gains.

What Tongchen obtained was a Divine Weapon that many dreamed of possessing.

But unfortunately, this weapon could only be used in Advanced World and couldn't be carried over into reality.

Tongchen was very clear about one thing, the greater the reward, the higher the risk.

"Jiang Xianwu mentioned subsequent performance... as well as the overall clearance ratings. This means that the real danger is coming up. Could it be that this area can actually be compared to Nightmare Bridge?"

In version 2.0, at the beginning of the post-apocalyptic era, Nightmare Bridge, an A-ranked corrupted area.

All the guild leaders teamed up, truly the strongest lineup of the age, and only then they finally completed that recruitment battle. Tongchen knew the difficulty of that challenge.

He was stronger now than he was back then, but these teammates were not as powerful as the ones he had before.

So he was somewhat concerned about what would happen after they left the casino.

Zhou Baiyu, on the other hand, wasn't thinking that much. Or rather, for things he didn't have enough clues about, thinking was useless. His mind was wholly focused on mutation.

"I am now at the second order, with nine mutation chances, and I have six physical cards. This way, I can mutate more than fifty times."

"The initial deviation percentage is eighty-seven percent, and since advancing to the second order, each time I fail to mutate, the percentage drop also increases."

"Although I can't guarantee that there will be no issues, based on my past mutation performance, there should be at least one, if not several, positive feedbacks."

With that advantage, indeed, the subsequent bets went very smoothly.

Zhou Baiyu began to mutate continuously.

By the fourth time, he had actually mutated a table that was sure to win any gamble, but its durability was not enough.

So he decisively gave up and started to mutate again.

Using one physical card after another, and when only one was left, Zhou Baiyu finally created an item with sufficient durability.

[Item name: The World Injured by the Ten of Spades Has Been Achieved.]

[Specialty: The item name explains it all, doesn't it? Durability 15/15]

[Description: Simply put, as long as the cards are dealt on this table, they will turn into the King of Hearts when revealed. So, all you need to do is call out the King of Hearts suit.

It's worth mentioning that you have discovered a new mutation pattern — durability is quite unpredictable.

You may mutate items with exactly the same functions, but their durability will not be consistent.]

[Status: Mutatable, Deviation Rate 87%, Proceed with Mutation?]

Although Zhou Baiyu wondered why the result was the King of Hearts when the item name was The Ten of Spades Injured, he was clear that he had passed this round.

"Hearts."

Upon hearing Zhou Baiyu's voice, the puppet dealer quickly revealed the card.

As expected, it was the King of Hearts.

"Congratulations to the challenger for a successful challenge. Please collect your item."

Zhou Baiyu faced away from the others, so they couldn't see clearly what the reward item in front of him was.

Picking up the item, Zhou Baiyu felt puzzled and wondered:

"Why would it be an injection syringe?"
