"Sasuke," Xin called softly, looking at the young man in front of him. "I must remind you, the value of items within the Mystery Box varies."
"I know," Sasuke's voice gradually calmed down from his excitement. "Taking the Gourmet Series Mystery Box from before as an example, those few recipes are far more valuable to a chef than some rare ingredients."
"That's right."
Xin nodded slightly. It seemed Sasuke still possessed a certain degree of thinking ability.
He continued, "However, the strength you seek is far more complex than that of a chef, because there are simply too many methods and paths to choose from. Have you considered the direction of your strength?"
Sasuke was taken aback.
He only thought about becoming strong; he hadn't considered any direction.
"It seems not," Xin took a step forward, signaling him to walk and talk. "I have sold many Mystery Box, but specifically among customers pursuing strength, some have spent a huge price, even pushing themselves to exhaustion, yet they still can't compare to those who spent less. Do you know why?"
"..." Sasuke thought for a moment and gave his answer. "Is it aptitude?"
The treasures inside the Mystery Box can be used to increase strength, but with equivalent treasures, it must also depend on aptitude, right?
For example, that man.
Even though Sasuke's heart was filled with hatred, he had to admit that that man's aptitude was truly terrifying.
He was once someone he deeply admired.
"Here with me, aptitude can also be obtained." Xin, however, gently shook his head and then revealed the answer. "It's luck."
Opening Mystery Box, of course, was about luck.
The only ones who could compete with the lucky ones were the super-rich.
Sasuke was clearly somewhat confused.
In his mind, he only needed to open enough Mystery Box to become stronger.
"You think those few recipes are more helpful to a chef than rare ingredients." Xin still used Teuchi as an example, then smiled mysteriously. "However, within the Gourmet Mystery Box, there also exists a special ability called the 'God's Tongue.' It allows a person to easily discern the most subtle flaws in food. Someone with this tongue, even relying solely on this, can go much faster and further than an ordinary chef."
Something like this is commonly called a cheat.
The God's Tongue, of course, couldn't be that cheap.
However, Xin said it directly like that.
To make Sasuke carry a sense of anticipation for luck.
Before opening the Mystery Box.
Everyone would hope to be blessed by luck, even if they knew they were inherently unlucky and mocked themselves relentlessly. At the moment of opening a Mystery Box, they would still hope for a day when their luck would turn around.
Sasuke's growth rate was definitely fast.
To prevent him from finishing the 'game' in a short period and then losing interest in the Mystery Box, Xin had to do some nurturing and hinting.
Or rather... temptation!
"Such a miraculous ability can also be directly obtained?" Sasuke felt it was unbelievable.
Originally, after just watching Teuchi open the Gourmet Mystery Box, what he truly valued were the magical experience light clusters, the fruits that could increase physical attributes, and the powerful skill books.
"Heh heh," Xin chuckled twice. "Inside my Mystery Box, there are only all sorts of items you can't even imagine."
