14: Chapter 14: The first silver entry: Son of Luck!!

Ling Feng felt a jolt of shock at this thought.

If this were truly the case, he could save tenfold the money and still obtain elemental-type traits.

"Let's buy a few dozen to see; I'm not short on cash anyway!"

Ling Feng immediately placed an order for 40 divine edict stones with the 【Friction Heat】 trait.

Because these divine edict stones were so useless, their price was at the minimum of 10,000, and buying in bulk even got a 5% discount, since absolutely no one wanted them.

The items arrived quickly.

Ling Feng picked one up and activated it immediately.

...

【Toughness! White】 (Defense * 130%)

【Friction Heat! White】 (Can quickly ignite fire by rubbing fingers.)

【Great Strength! White】 (Strength * 130%)

【Blood Ox! White】 (Stamina Limit * 130%)

...

This divine edict stone had a total of four traits, and Ling Feng didn't hesitate to extract them directly.

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Friction Heat! White! Obtained ability: Can quickly ignite fire by rubbing fingers.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Friction Heat! White! Ignition speed increased.】

...

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Friction Heat! White! The trait upgraded to: Fire Control! Green! Can control flames, and flame power increased to: 200%.】

...

As Ling Feng extracted four white traits all at once, the trait level upgraded directly to green.

Furthermore, just as he had imagined, this trait was indeed Fire Control.

"It's actually real; that saves me a lot of money!"

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"If Fire Control can have a white trait, does that mean talents like Wind Control or Water Control could have similar white traits?

If they all exist, I can master many more powerful elemental powers in the future!"

Thinking of this, Ling Feng began to search.

Soon, he found several traits that all seemed related to elements.

【Water Play! White】 【Friction Electricity! White】 【Mud Mixing! White】 【Blowing Wind! White】 ...

These traits were as trashy as trash could get.

But if they could be strengthened, they would nine times out of ten become powerful elemental-type traits.

"Elemental traits have white versions, but I wonder if luck-type traits do?"

Ling Feng pondered whether it was possible that any white trait, if upgraded, would become one of those super powerful special traits.

Sure enough, after a quick search, he really did find a luck-type white trait.

【Loves to Laugh! People who love to laugh don't have too bad of luck!】

This trait barely gave any special ability and had already been classified as one of the trashiest traits.

Ling Feng had even watched some trait-testing bloggers who spent a lot of money hiring people to test if this trait was a luck-type white trait.

They took ten people who couldn't even afford a meal, gave them 100,000 yuan each, and had them fuse with the Loves to Laugh trait.

Before the fusion, they had them flip a coin one hundred times.

According to normal results, the probability of heads is around 50%.

However, after acquiring this trait, everyone's luck did indeed improve.

But the improvement in probability was abysmal.

It only increased the probability from 50% to 53-54%, with the highest being 55%.

Therefore, this trait was directly classified as one of the top ten "useless" traits.

"Tsk tsk tsk, there really are all kinds of people in this era. But getting 100,000 yuan and being able to fuse four white traits...

Although a trashy Loves to Laugh trait might appear, for those with low talent who can't even afford white divine edict stones, this blogger is probably considered a great philanthropist."

Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh at this thought.

But this wasn't what was important; what mattered was that this trait was indeed a luck-type white trait.

Since that was the case, he would buy it.

Ling Feng spent 500 million in one go, buying 50,000 divine edict stones with the Loves to Laugh trait.

"I wonder if, with this silver luck-type trait, it will be easier to extract the traits I want?"

Ling Feng thought of this.

He absolutely had to test it first.

After all, it didn't matter if the ordinary white divine edict stones worth 10,000 were expensive or not, since he needed all four traits.

However, for traits like Slight Talent, the same white trait is worth several times more than others.

If he could increase the probability of drawing Slight Talent, he could save a large amount of money.

Therefore, Ling Feng directly bought the divine edict stones with the 【Loves to Laugh】 trait first, leaving the rest to be purchased once he had spent most of his current stock.

...

The 【Loves to Laugh】 trait could be said to have no buyers, so the divine edict stones were backlogged inventory.

Seeing someone place an order, the Alliance Mall shipped it immediately, fearing that Ling Feng might change his mind.

Thus, in less than half an hour, 50,000 divine edict stones were delivered to Ling Feng's home warehouse.

"Whether I can become a luck tycoon depends on this wave!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and then immediately began the crazy extraction process.

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Loves to Laugh! White! Luck slightly increased.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Loves to Laugh! White! Luck slightly increased.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Loves to Laugh! White! Luck slightly increased.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: Loves to Laugh! White! The trait upgraded to: Little Lucky! Green.】

Sure enough, after extracting just four traits, the trait upgraded successfully.

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh.

This trait was indeed a luck-type one.

【Ding... You extracted the trait: 【Loves to Laugh! White】 * 30! The trait upgraded to: Continuous Good Luck! Blue.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: 【Loves to Laugh! White】 * 500! The trait upgraded to: Great Fortune! Purple.】

【Ding... You extracted the trait: 【Loves to Laugh! White】 * 10000! The trait upgraded to: Son of Luck! Silver! You possess the luck of a protagonist!】

Finally, after using up more than 20,000 divine edict stones, Ling Feng's luck trait had finally reached silver.

As for why it was over 20,000?

Naturally, as his luck increased, the probability of Ling Feng extracting the Loves to Laugh trait also improved significantly.

By the end, he could extract almost whatever he wanted.

As for upgrading to the silver-level Son of Luck, Ling Feng estimated that even with green, blue, or even purple divine edict stones, he could extract whatever he wanted.

As for whether it could affect silver divine edict stones, that remained unknown.

Of course, even if he couldn't guarantee the result, the probability of extracting it would definitely skyrocket.

"No wonder these luck-type divine edict stones are so expensive. The later the stage, the more expensive they are. There's a reason for the high price!

In that case, I can spend less money extracting the Slight Talent divine edict stones!

Based on the current 100% success rate, I only need about 5,000-plus divine edict stones, which is only 260 million.

Damn, that saves me 800 to 900 million more than I expected!

If I had known, I would have stacked the luck-type traits first!"

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Right, let me first see how many white traits are needed to increase the bonus by 1% after upgrading to a silver trait!"

Ling Feng remembered this.

However, the Loves to Laugh trait didn't have a percentage, so he had to first upgrade one that had a bonus, such as Great Strength.

Afterward, he began extracting the Great Strength trait, as he still had nearly 30,000 divine edict stones left unused.

He could upgrade the remaining three traits to silver.

【Ding... You extracted the trait: 【Great Strength! White】 * 4500! The trait upgraded to: Might of the Savage Elephant! Silver! Strength bonus: 2000%.】

After Great Strength upgraded to silver, the trait changed.

Ling Feng had heard of the Savage Elephant; it was a Tier 9 ferocious beast, and the silver trait it possessed was Might of the Savage Elephant.

Its strength was terrifying; it was said that when it first appeared, it was discovered on a Tier 3 planet.

A Tier 3 planet is a thousand times the size of Earth, a terrifying planet as massive as the sun.

However, as soon as this Savage Elephant appeared, it crushed that planet with a single stomp.

Ling Feng still remembered that video vividly.

In other words, a genius with this trait would be able to reach the terrifying level of destroying stars in the future.

Subsequently, Ling Feng began stacking traits.

However, the more he stacked, the more speechless Ling Feng became.

After stacking them 100 times, the bonus still hadn't increased by 1%.

Finally, when Ling Feng stacked the traits 1,000 times, the bonus finally increased by 1%!

What kind of concept was this?

This meant that for this silver trait to upgrade to a golden oracle stone trait with a 4000% bonus, it would require stacking white traits 2 million times!

That meant at least 20 billion was needed.

Money was a small matter; after all, 20 billion was practically a giveaway compared to a golden oracle stone trait.

20 billion could at most buy two purple oracle stones.

And the cheapest silver divine edict stones cost over 1 trillion.

As for the golden oracle stone, the price was astronomical.

A single one would cost at least 1 quadrillion.

This was even with the human race now having entered the Great Universe Era, with nearly a billion planets.

Otherwise, at this price, even selling the original Earth wouldn't be enough to buy one.

And this was just the price of the golden oracle stone; the probability of extracting it was also extremely low.

A golden oracle stone had at least ten options, and the probability of drawing a golden trait was less than 1%.

The number of traits a person could generally possess was three or four, with only a very few reaching seven or eight traits.

The most heaven-defying ones could possess ten traits.

This meant that each person could only extract ten times, and even if they used a golden oracle stone every time, the probability of drawing a golden trait was only one in ten.

Therefore, this was why it was said that in the current human race, possessing a single golden trait was an extremely heaven-defying feat.

Possessing a golden trait meant one's future achievements would be limitless.

Forget 20 billion for a golden trait; even at 200 trillion each, countless people would likely scramble to buy them.

But the problem was that this required stacking traits 2 million times, which meant the extraction process required 2 million extractions.

Based on the speed at which Ling Feng picked up, clicked to extract, then discarded and picked up the second one, one per second was the fastest.

At most, he could extract over 80,000 traits a day.

This meant that to stack a single golden trait, Ling Feng would need to spend over twenty days.

"This takes a bit too long!"

Obtaining one golden trait a month, while worth more than the cost, was still not something Ling Feng wanted to spend so much time on.

After all, he was now accustomed to rapidly improving his strength; if you asked him to slow down, he really couldn't accept it for the time being.

"I wonder how long it would take to increase proficiency by 1% if I extracted green talents!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng remembered this.

Green talents were a level higher; if he wasn't mistaken, the amount required to stack up to gold should be about the same as the amount required for a white trait to upgrade to silver, right?

In this way, he would only need to extract ten thousand times.

Although some green traits might be two or three times more expensive than white ones.

But with the luck of a Son of Luck, green ones were also 100% guaranteed.

If they were a bit more expensive, so be it; once his strength improved, how easy would it be to earn money?

Immediately, Ling Feng purchased 100 divine edict stones with the green trait 【Great Strength】.

It only cost 100 million.

It seemed that this Great Strength divine edict stone was quite common.

After all, the four basic physical traits—strength, speed, defense, and stamina—were the most widely covered traits.

Almost every ferocious beast had one or two, or even all of them.

【Ding... You extracted the trait: 【Great Strength! Green!】 * 10! Trait: Might of the Savage Elephant bonus + 1%】

Sure enough, just as Ling Feng had expected, after extracting just ten times, the bonus had already increased by 1%.

Calculating based on this, he would only need 20,000 times to upgrade to gold.

This saved a hundredfold in time.

That meant it would only take a few hours.

And the money spent wasn't a penny more.
