"Then it's settled! From now on, you are the Lucky Ambassador here among the Survivors. Don't disgrace the name of the Goddess of Luck!"
Da Hei said with a solemn expression.
"Uh... how about we discuss this? The title 'Lucky Ambassador' is really a bit unpleasant to hear. How about we change it to something else?"
Lin Bei was exasperated.
"That won't do. It's clearly written in the contract. Do you intend to breach the contract?"
Da Hei's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Besides, I think this name is quite imposing, concise, and straight to the point. Stop being so picky!"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to hand over the work on my end, and your benefits and entitlements won't be approved."
"It's just a name. How can it compare to the tangible benefits you get sooner?"
Da Hei said earnestly.
"Uh... you have a point."
Lin Bei was helpless and could only compromise.
Thus, his attribute panel gained the title "Lucky Ambassador." The title came with the skill "Lucky Decree," which could increase his own luck while granting Lucky Blessings to others.
"Right, since I'm the Lucky Ambassador now, is there no way to directly contact... that Overseer named Aleria?"
Lin Bei asked curiously while counting the hundred million small goal that had reached his account.
"Well... it is possible, but generally speaking, Survivors cannot directly converse with an Overseer. That's a bit against the rules."
Da Hei looked troubled.
"That little video I recorded..."
"Holy crap, shut up! Fine, fine, give me some time. I'll get you a special communicator tonight. Will that work?"
"That's more like it~"
Lin Bei smiled and nodded, then patted Da Hei's shoulder, whispering, "Don't worry, the whitening issue is now in my hands."
Hearing this, Da Hei sighed helplessly.
He couldn't help it; who told him he was being held by the handle and the soft spot?
"Alas, when the devil is under the eaves, he has no choice but to bow his head."
Da Hei left.
Lin Bei quickly returned to the villa and casually opened a common treasure chest.
The result was an immediate trigger of a Hundredfold Critical Hit, yielding a large amount of basic supplies.
Lin Bei continued testing, opening more than a dozen supply treasure chests of common and superior quality in a row.
Without exception, every single one triggered at least the Hundredfold Critical Hit effect!
"Hahaha! Joining the Lucky Faction was a great move! I never expected it to directly guarantee that even I, with my terrible luck, could trigger the Hundredfold Critical Hit effect!"
Lin Bei laughed uproariously, ecstatic in his heart.
In an instant, he felt that his title of "Lucky Ambassador" was incredibly powerful!
"Who said 'Lucky Ambassador' was a tacky name? This name is absolutely amazing!"
Lin Bei smiled brightly and tried to apply a Lucky Blessing BUFF to himself. It was just a sudden whim, and he didn't think it would succeed, but the result was... [Notification: You have gained the Lucky Blessing Status! Luck is permanently increased by 10 points!]
[Note: Luck is a hidden attribute. The initial Luck attribute for common Survivors is usually defaulted to 5 points.]
"Seriously? I can even grant myself a Blessing?"
Lin Bei was stunned, but as he felt the power draining from his body, his gaze became unsettled.
"It only increased my Luck by 10 points, but it consumed about five percent of my stamina. It seems becoming a qualified 'Lucky Ambassador' isn't an easy task."
Lin Bei muttered to himself.
If he remembered correctly, he had a task to develop the Lucky Faction's Survivor influence.
How is a Survivor judged to be part of the Lucky Faction influence?
Of course, by seeing if they possess the Lucky Blessing Status!
"How about... I change my strategy and pursue a high-end talent strategy?"
"After all, the essence of developing influence is to compete for the top ten spots in the comprehensive Survivor evaluation, and the Comprehensive Evaluation has two decisive factors: the strength of the Survivors and the number of Survivors."
"As long as everyone under me is an elite—the kind of talent who can fight one against a hundred or more—won't I be much more relaxed and not have to work like a dog every day?"
"Hmm, that's what I'll do!"
Lin Bei's eyes lit up, and then he thought of another good idea: "And there's more than one way to get our faction's evaluation ranked highly!"
"If I can cripple other powerful forces until they're half-dead, that can also indirectly boost our faction's ranking!"
"Plus, I can also sweep up a lot of resources and combat power along the way. I feel like this is the correct way to proceed!"
"It's a shame, though... it's only the first Calamity Season, and the zones haven't merged yet, so there's no way to encounter Survivors from other factions. Otherwise, I could really go all out."
Lin Bei calculated in his mind, and the corner of his mouth curved into an arc.
Qing Qing, who was passing by, saw Lin Bei's wicked smile and couldn't help but mutter, "Sigh, Master is thinking dirty thoughts again. For Master's healthy physical and mental development, it seems I must formulate a scientific plan."
Qing Qing pondered with lowered brows, gradually walking away.
Lin Bei glanced at the other supply treasure chests in the room, forcefully suppressed the urge to open them all, took a deep breath, and looked at the crystal necklace hanging over his chest.
[Blessing of the Goddess of Luck: When actively activated, it grants the "Super Luck" status to the user, lasting 24 hours. Cooldown: Seven days.]
If he wanted to maximize his benefits, the best approach was to open all the supply treasure chests while under the "Super Luck" status.
But the problem was that, given the current state of the necklace, the "Super Luck" status could only be activated for one day every seven days. Therefore, the best method for Lin Bei was to accumulate a sufficient number of treasure chests before activating the "Super Luck" status and opening them.
Moreover, Lin Bei himself wasn't sure if the "Super Luck" status would affect the system he acquired through signing in. Assuming it could have an effect, he would need to wait until his next sign-in to activate the "Super Luck" status.
Only by doing this could he achieve maximum profit!
"It seems I can't continue opening treasure chests for the time being."
"At the very least... some high-quality treasure chests must be saved to be opened all at once at the end."
Lin Bei frowned in thought.
"Didn't Da Hei also mention that the Braves Shop is more likely to refresh with Top-Tier Items on the last day of every Calamity Season?"
"Since that's the case, I might as well wait until the last day of the Calamity Season to open these treasure chests, ensuring maximum utilization of the 'Super Luck' status."
"And since Super Luck lasts for 24 hours, if managed properly, it can span the two days between the end and the start of the Calamity Season!"
"This way, it won't delay the refresh of the Braves Shop's top-tier supplies, nor will it delay me signing in to obtain a new system. It's truly killing two birds with one stone!"
With his decision made, Lin Bei immediately put all these supply treasure chests into the storage treasure box pinned against his chest.
He couldn't help it; this item had astonishing defensive power, so Lin Bei, in order to save his life, was using it for multiple purposes, letting it temporarily serve as his Heart-Protecting Mirror.
Furthermore, hiding it against his chest was not only concealed but also convenient for retrieving items—simply flawless.
"Today is another day full of hope!"
Lin Bei stretched and prepared to start his day's work.
First, he had to make a trip to the Underworld.
He currently had three chances every day to enter the special areas of the Underworld, so he had to seize the time.
