Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Rolling Back the Electric Meter, Sanctioned!

This world is full of surprises.

When you think God has closed a door for you, maybe a helicopter has come to pick you up. As long as you choose to board the helicopter, your life will change dramatically from then on.

Just like that, getting on the helicopter, it feels like life will gradually get better.

With a plan in mind, Qian Yi immediately got to work. Using the remaining resources on hand, he purchased rice, then exchanged it for Originium inhibitors to sell on the continent of Terra. Then, he continued to exchange the resources he got back into rice for recycling. This behavior felt strangely familiar to him.

He was reminded of the "electric meter rollback" that was popular for a while when he used to play Teamfight Tactics during the S9 season. That is, when there were three or more three-star units on the board, and one Yordle was promoted to three-star, it would automatically evolve into a four-star. The selling price of a four-star was about three times that of a three-star. In other words, as long as you had enough speed and luck, you could frantically sell four-star cards for the price of three-stars to make money.

To put it simply, it was rolling back the electric meter!

Unfortunately, there was nothing of significant value for direct sale in this chat group's shop. If the shop had things like the Four Swords of Jade Immortality, the Dao Fruit of a Daluo Jinxian, or omniscience, Qian Yi could have used this bug to directly farm a massive amount of points, buy these items on the spot, and start his invincible life.

Abandoning unrealistic fantasies, after Browse for a while, he found that the best prize in the shop was still the Heracles Stones.

The items for direct sale either had strong side effects or were particularly scammy, like the Great Seal, Ultra Bomb, Power Combination, and so on. They truly interpreted the meaning that powerful skills often come with great risks.

Looking at it this way, Heracles was really the best thing. The only downside was that you didn't get the whole thing after pulling, only a part of it.

"Heracles, the mightiest hero of Greece, was actually dismantled into so many pieces and stuffed into a gacha pool to bait people into spending. You even need six copies to get the complete version."

He had found this hard to accept before, but no matter how many times he looked back, Qian Yi felt it was extremely cringe.

But this was just like FGO. All players knew how much of a money-grab it was, but when a new banner opened, they still had to go online and pull like crazy. When the Guaranteed Summon banners and other cash-baiting events came around, they still had to honestly take out their blue-green modifier (credit card) and buy thirty paid Saint Quartz, letting it take their money.

Now, it was time for him to spend his money.

Like a new player who had just bought an account with a lot of pulls, after a few days of rolling back the electric meter, Qian Yi had a whopping five hundred thousand points on hand.

The only thing left to do was to start pulling!

[Steel 'Lao Da']: I just realized, why is there only one copy of everything in this gacha pool?

[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: Only one copy?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: That's right. Whether it's Heracles' martial arts, weapons, or inherent skills, there's only one of each. Once it's pulled, it won't appear again.

[Child of Prophecy]: What happens if there's only one?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Originally, each of us could have collected the full set of Heracles' skills. But now, only one person can get the complete power of Heracles.

[Child of Prophecy]: Boss, congratulations! You're going to become the strongest now!

[Underworld Head-Spinner]: Congrats.

[Generalissimo Maple]: Congrats.

[Talulah]: Congrats.

[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: Congrats.

[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Congrats! So Qian Yi, are you now the strongest hero of Greece, the reincarnation of the mighty Heracles?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Incorrect. I don't plan to enjoy this reward alone.

[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Huh? What are you talking about?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: If not everyone can be Heracles, then what's the point of me becoming Heracles alone? So I've decided! I'm going to split Heracles into six pieces!!

Qian Yi took out the complete Heracles family bucket he had pulled and stuffed it into red packets to send to each group member.

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Artoria, you performed meritoriously in this operation. Heracles' weapon, the Sword of Heracles, is for you.

[Child of Prophecy]: Huh? For me?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Talulah, you contributed a lot. Heracles' armor, the 『Pelt of the Divine Beast』 and the 『War God's Sash』, are yours.

[Talulah]: No, no, you've already helped me so much. Giving me this will make me feel very bad.

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Seele, you're good at speed. The ultimate poison that killed Heracles, the Hydra's venom, you take it.

[Underworld Head-Spinner]: How come even I get something?

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Hiiragi Utena, you're good at turning items into monsters that obey your commands. Heracles' summoned beasts, the 『Man-Eating Mares of Diomedes』, the 『Stymphalian Birds' Arrows』, and the 『Hound of Hades』, are yours.

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Kiana, Heracles' body is yours.

[I Wanna Eat Mei-Flavored Instant Noodles]: Yay! You're the best, Qian Yi!

[Steel 'Lao Da']: Toyokawa Shoko, you've had it the hardest. The Twelve Labors of Heracles are yours.

[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service]: Huh? You really don't need to give it to me. By the way, Qian Yi, are you not going to leave anything for yourself again this time? I remember you should be the one who needs to strengthen your body and life-saving means the most, right? The twelve lives provided by the Twelve Labors of Heracles should be the most useful for you.

[Customer Service Shoko at Your Service] sent a red packet to [Steel 'Lao Da'].

She stuffed most of the things Qian Yi had given her into it, leaving only one gold bar for herself. This was already enough to cover her ticket money, with plenty to spare.

[Steel 'Lao Da']: No need. I've left something better for myself: Heracles' Divinity and the Noble Phantasm 『Reincarnation Pandora』. These two are the best. Besides, I said from the beginning, we are a community of common destiny. I will not enjoy all the glory alone.

With this explanation, he finally persuaded everyone to accept these things.

After this wave, everyone in the group had been strengthened and received abundant rewards.

The next thing to do might be to find Rhodes Island Pharmacy... no, they didn't even need Rhodes Island Pharmacy. They just needed to exploit the dimensional chat group's loophole every day, forcing those companies that could only produce Originium inhibitors to ramp up production. He believed that before they starved to death or underwent industrial transformation, they would sooner or later create something that could cure Oripathy.

Our future is bright.

But just then, a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the dimensional chat group, and it was an extremely conspicuous red.

[Beep, abnormal point data detected. Too many parameters in the shop gacha system. It has been detected that someone is using illegal bugs and loopholes to farm points.]

[Activating automatic recovery and punishment function...]
