14: Opposing Treasure Chests, World War

"Haha, of course it's not easy."

Ye Zhanying took a sip of coffee and chuckled.

"Every global treasure chest event is lucky to produce one ace employee; often there isn't even one."

"Of course, the main reason is that the drop rate for employee cards is too low. The last global treasure chest event yielded fewer than a hundred employee cards," Ye Zhanying sighed, shaking her head.

"The probability is that low?!" Han Fei was shocked.

One must know, this world is enormous, far surpassing the Blue Star Han Fei was previously on, and its population exceeds a hundred billion!

The number of global treasure chests that appear each time is usually between five and fifteen percent of the total global population.

According to incomplete statistics, the last global treasure chest event saw over ten billion black iron treasure chests, over one hundred million bronze treasure chests, nearly ten million silver treasure chests, and fewer than one hundred thousand gold-grade and above treasure chests.

Yet, from such a massive number of treasure chests, fewer than one hundred employee cards were opened, which shows how low the probability is!

"Employee cards are ultra-rare items; they can only be opened from silver grade and above treasure chests. However, the probability of opening them from platinum grade and below treasure chests is incredibly low, almost negligible. Only emerald grade and even diamond grade treasure chests offer a noticeable probability, which is why employee cards are so scarce."

After saying this, Ye Zhanying suddenly looked at Han Fei with a meaningful expression, "Oh, little brother, I almost forgot to ask you, from what grade of treasure chest did you open your employee card?"

"silver treasure chest," Han Fei said without hesitation.

Ye Zhanying's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, and at the same time, a mechanical synthesized voice, audible only to her, rang in her ears.

"Lie detection: probability of lying does not exceed 0.0003%."

Ye Zhanying's Phoenix eyes immediately widened, and she gasped in disbelief, "You really opened it from a silver treasure chest?"

Han Fei was startled by Ye Zhanying's reaction, "I really did open it from a silver treasure chest, what's wrong?"

Ye Zhanying was silent for a full three or four seconds before saying in an incredulous tone, "Your luck is truly Heaven-Defying."

Han Fei gave an embarrassed laugh.

He knew his own situation; he wasn't just simply lucky.

If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Times Good Luck raising the drop rate of a random ultra-rare item by a million times, Han Fei certainly wouldn't have had the luck to open an employee card from a silver treasure chest.

"Do you know how good your luck is? In our Dragon Nation over the past five thousand years, the lucky ones who opened employee cards from silver treasure chests probably haven't exceeded ten!"

After exclaiming, Ye Zhanying took a sip of coffee to calm herself.

Upon hearing this, Han Fei was not only amazed but also more excited.

He could clearly feel that the Cheat he possessed made him stand out!

And this was just the beginning; when the Cheat leveled up in the future, he would gain even more benefits!

Just then, the UFO suddenly jolted. Ye Zhanying put down her coffee and softly said, "We've arrived. Follow me down."

Han Fei was startled, "Arrived where?"

Ye Zhanying smiled, "The headquarters of our Twelfth Squadron."

As soon as she finished speaking, a yellow halo enveloped both Han Fei and Ye Zhanying.

Han Fei's vision blurred, and the next moment he found himself in what appeared to be a luxurious gym.

Gym equipment was everywhere, a very complete range, each one highly technological and clearly not simple.

Ye Zhanying looked at the somewhat dazed Han Fei, smiled, and said to him, "Han Fei, welcome to the Twelfth Squadron Headquarters."

Just then, a bespectacled girl in white hurriedly ran over, "Sister Ying, you're finally back."

Ye Zhanying looked at the large stack of documents the bespectacled girl was holding, her eye twitching, and quickly said, "I'm a bit busy right now. If you have anything, wait for Captain Jiang to handle it; he'll be back soon."

After speaking, Ye Zhanying pulled Han Fei's arm and walked away as if escaping to a certain location.

"Hey, Sister Ying, wait! Great Prophecy Granny just released a new prophecy; you really should see it!"

Ye Zhanying immediately stopped, turned, and took a few quick steps towards the bespectacled girl, "What prophecy did Great Prophecy Granny release?"

The bespectacled girl pulled a sealed document from the large stack of materials she was holding and handed it to Ye Zhanying.

Ye Zhanying tore open the encrypted packaging, took out the document, and read it carefully, her expression immediately turning grim.

Although Han Fei was curious, he didn't go over to look; he knew his place.

A moment later, Ye Zhanying exhaled deeply, then handed the document to the bespectacled girl, "Process this document as quickly as possible; do not leak any of the information."

"Okay, I'll destroy it immediately," the bespectacled girl nodded, taking the document.

After a few simple instructions, Ye Zhanying then hurried with Han Fei to a certain reception room.

The reception room was large but rather spartan; besides a table and a few chairs, there were no other furnishings.

Ye Zhanying casually sat on a chair, lost in thought.

Seeing her like this, Han Fei didn't dare to speak and could only sit obediently.

About half a minute later, Ye Zhanying suddenly looked at Han Fei and said, "Do you know what Great Prophecy Granny prophesied?"

"Uh..."

Han Fei was stunned, then shook his head. How could he possibly know such classified information?

To his surprise, the next second Ye Zhanying directly revealed it, "Great Prophecy Granny prophesied that a new global treasure chest event will appear soon!"

"New global treasure chests?!" Han Fei was so shocked he almost forgot to breathe.

It's important to know that while global treasure chests appear frequently, most of them only appear when the previous global treasure chest disappears or is about to disappear.

If a global treasure chest appears shortly after another, then these two treasure chests will inevitably be in opposition, also known as opposing treasure chests.

Although opposing treasure chests have not appeared many times in history, they are certainly not few.

For example, there were the Dark treasure chests and Light treasure chests, Brave treasure chests and Devil King treasure chests, War treasure chests and Peace treasure chests, and so on.

These opposing treasure chests often cause the world to divide into two opposing factions, leading to large-scale world wars!

This world has experienced 7 world wars, 6 of which were related to opposing treasure chests.

The most recent world war sparked by opposing treasure chests was the 'Devil King Extermination War' five hundred years ago.

The opposing treasure chests that appeared at that time were the Brave treasure chests and the Devil King treasure chests, and the world was consequently divided into Brave and Devil King factions.

The two major factions engaged in fierce battles, countless forces fell, countless new kings rose, and the world order underwent immense changes.

The war finally ended with the Seal of the Devil King, and the Brave faction achieved victory, but the cost was extremely heavy.

History books record that the century-long war reduced the world's population by one-third.

After the war, billions of people were displaced, and hundreds of countries were destroyed, including two Superpowers no less powerful than the current Dragon Nation!

Many historians call it a war without victors, an extremely cruel world war!
