Chapter 873: The Life of a Gambling Addict!

Bzz—

In an instant, golden light enveloped the bottle of potion.

Sir Aiwen and the others exchanged glances. They had no choice but to reach out and channel a massive amount of their power into Lynn's body as he began.

Boom—

Blinding golden light instantly illuminated the entire sky.

【Ding! You have repaired the "Restorative Potion." Your potion has been further enhanced, and you have obtained x1 "Restorative Potion (Divine Selection Edition)."】

【Ding! You have repaired the "Restorative Potion" and obtained x1 "Restorative Potion (Modified and Enhanced Edition)."】

【Ding! You have repaired the "Restorative Potion." Your potion has been further enhanced, and you have obtained x1 "Restorative Potion (Specially Enhanced Edition)."】

One bottle!

Two bottles!

Three bottles!

Thanks to Lynn's relentless efforts, golden light flashed violently across the entire helipad, over and over, as if someone were furiously flicking a light switch.

A large number of repaired and enhanced restorative potions emerged. Most were beneficial enhanced versions.

Only a small portion were "modified versions" and "modified and enhanced versions," and an even smaller portion were "atrociously and extremely modified and enhanced versions."

The odds made that clear enough.

With several Roots bolstering him and no recipe to guide the process, God's Equation could still maintain a blind-modification success rate of over 90 percent!

【Ding! Your "God's Equation" proficiency +1】

Amid the System notifications ringing endlessly in his ears,

Lynn finally hit another one of those unbelievably unlucky moments, the kind where his luck was so awful he might as well have died!

Modified Version x1

Modified and Enhanced Version x2!!

Extremely Modified and Enhanced Version x3!!!

Good!

Very good!

That's the rhythm!!

And finally, after nine consecutive failed products that had all come out modified, Lynn's gaze sharpened. He abruptly raised his hand, dazzling light flashing in his palm.

He knew it!! The moment to repair his Cursed Eye with a divine selection had arrived!!

Nine consecutive modified versions!!

A 90 percent success rate!

That meant the odds of this final repair succeeding were absolutely at their peak, higher than they would have been if he hadn't built up any bad luck at all!!

And to keep any extraneous factors from disrupting the stability of his fortune, he had even drugged his dearest Zuo Zuo and knocked her out!!

If this still didn't work,

where was the justice in the world?!

“【Cursed Eye】! Repair!!”

Accompanied by that furious shout,

his golden, glowing hand slammed down onto the fragments of his shattered Cursed Eye.

A torrent of power swept through them in an instant.

Beloved Angel, bless me! I stake my dazzling life on this, in the name of the Matriarch and Alice! (Their hair is all golden!)

Appear!

Golden legend!!

【Ding! Congratulations! You have repaired the "Cursed Eye." Your "God's Equation" proficiency has increased to "Intermediate." You have obtained x1 "Cursed Eye (True Divine Selection Epic 'Modified' Enhanced Edition)."】

“……”

A breeze blew past Lynn's vacant, rigid expression.

“Uh...”

Frozen...

Still frozen...

The Colossus's Brain, who had been providing him with power from the side, came over and looked at the Cursed Eye that had fallen with a plop in front of him. She asked earnestly,

“Did the repair succeed? There was even more golden light than before. After all that effort, this has to be a Great Success version, right, Lynn?”

Lynn sat rigidly, his face frozen in a (꒪Д꒪) expression.

No response.

Like a statue.

Sir Aiwen came over too. He picked up the eye that had just been repaired and examined it carefully before saying solemnly,

“It should be repaired, but why do I feel like your eye contains an excessively chaotic, incredibly evil aura? Was your eyeball already like this before?”

He turned to look at Lynn.

Seeing him motionless,

he couldn't help reaching out and poking him in confusion.

“Lynn, what's wrong?”

Thud—

Lynn, still rigid with a (꒪Д꒪) expression, toppled over like a statue, his whole body turning gray and lifeless.

Everyone froze.

Then they instantly bristled in alarm, their faces twisting into (ΩДΩ) expressions!

“Lynn!! Lynn!! Are you okay?! What happened to you?! Even if you're happy, you can't be this happy!! Don't scare us!”

“Hey! Hey!! He's not breathing! Why isn't he breathing?!”

……

At last.

After half an hour of emergency treatment,

Lynn finally woke up slowly. He stared blankly and held the repaired eyeball in his hand as if he had suffered a tremendous blow, muttering incomprehensible things.

Things like, “Why isn't it how I imagined?” “How did I end up repairing something like this?” and “Did I build up too much bad luck?” He mumbled incoherently, as if his light had gone out.

Seeing how depressed and listless he looked,

Sir Aiwen frowned and rubbed his temples. “What's wrong with him?”

The Colossus's Brain closed her eyes. “A gambler lost his bet. Just consider him dead.”

“……”

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, he looked at Lynn and said, “Lynn, it probably isn't as bad as you think. Your eyeball looks like it's been repaired just fine to me. It's round, and it can even look at me. Doesn't that clearly mean the repair succeeded? If it had failed, wouldn't it have just shattered?”

“Besides, you haven't even tried it. How can you be sure there's something wrong with this eye?”

He crouched down and gazed at Lynn with sincerity.

Lynn looked up and murmured, “Is that so... Then, Big Brother Aiwen, why don't you try it for me? I'm not very brave.”

Sir Aiwen raised an eyebrow and picked up the dark eyeball in Lynn's hand. He asked casually,

“What version is this? A modified version?”

Lynn replied stiffly, “It's not a modified version. It's a True Divine Selection Epic 'Modified' Enhanced Version.”

Sir Aiwen's hand gave an involuntary twitch.

Plop—

The eyeball fell straight to the ground.

A series of events immediately came to mind, all the depraved incidents caused by his own device after it had been given an ordinary modification.

So it wasn't a modified version...

It was a fighter jet among modified versions...

Under his twitching gaze, the eyeball on the ground turned around, then bounced right back into Lynn's hand.

Ah...

It had already been modified into a version that could move around...

Impressive, all right!

If that thing were bio-armed into an eye socket, there was no way anything good could come of it, no matter how he thought about it...

Sir Aiwen stood up stiffly and patted Lynn on the shoulder. Pretending he hadn't heard what Lynn had just said, he clasped his hands behind his back and said wistfully,

“It's all right, Lynn. You have to pull yourself together. Look at it from another angle. With so many of us helping you, the odds of getting an ordinary modified version have already been pushed very low. And yet you still managed to pull this ultimate enhanced modified version from those slim odds. That just goes to show how incredibly lucky you are! From that perspective, you should actually be happy!”
