After Feng Bujue returned to the login space, the touchscreen in front of him was updated with this information.

"Hmph... I wasn't even 180 seconds in, and they kicked me out..." Brother Jue muttered as soon as he steadied himself.

He didn't dwell on the events of that previous world, because he understood... at this very moment, that world was likely already purged by the system, or something else.

"If I'm not mistaken... this so-called '48-hour limited experience' is also part of Woody's scheme..." Feng Bujue was already contemplating deeper matters. "Since its launch, Thriller Paradise has encroached upon too many universes... and among them, there must be some planes with a strong desire to explore or resist multidimensional space."

"Although the 'system' is theoretically an absolutely reliable 'space-time hub,' Woody's personality dictates that he must 'test' it before he can rest assured."

"In the final stages of the gamble, before the official launch of 'Infinite Worlds,' Woody must ensure that the game environment is entirely under control... preventing any unplanned chain reactions caused by interference from other universes."

"Thus, he devised this so-called 'limited-time experience' event..."

"He had already calculated this step when the s2 preliminary rules were announced; he disguised the task of 'testing for himself' as a 'prize,' brazenly distributing it to the server's strongest two hundred and fifty players."

"Our strength guarantees the thoroughness of the testing, and the 'single-player mode only' setting ensures that we act separately... allowing us to probe more universes."

"During these seven days, Woody can decide how to handle those 'high-risk universes' based on our performance in the scripts; for example, the one I just experienced... it could already read my character data and inner monologues. A universe that can even impersonate the system definitely can't be allowed to exist."

Brother Jue pondered for a while, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and digested the emotion...

"Hmph... never mind, let him do as he pleases." Two minutes later, Feng Bujue snorted and thought to himself, "Testing is testing, I suppose... at least, objectively speaking, I do have an additional 48 hours of advantage before the new version arrives..."

With that thought, he turned and pressed the button next to the elevator door.

When the door opened, a brand-new storage room appeared before Brother Jue.

"Oh? Did the company help with the renovations?" As Feng Bujue walked into the storage room, he looked around and discovered that it had been completely transformed.

The originally somewhat pale and monotonous space now had more texture... the color of the room's walls and the light emanating from them had become softer; the storage boxes had been moved from the corners of the room to the middle section of one wall, and their design had been changed to an upright metal cabinet; a five-square-meter metal platform had been added in the center of the room, so... players no longer had to organize their equipment on the floor (customer service had indeed received some complaints about this, mainly from wealthy players with a large amount of equipment and items; ordinary players didn't really have that much stuff to spread out).

"The shredder hasn't changed..." Feng Bujue muttered softly as he passed by the [Type Zero Magic Shredder].

"So..." Then, he walked to the wall opposite the elevator door, looking at the iron shutter with the pull-out drawer in front of him, "This should be the new 'reward acquisition channel,' then."

His guess was undoubtedly correct because he had noticed upon entering the storage room that the "glass cylinders" that used to hold script rewards were gone. Looking at the renovated room, only this pull-out drawer seemed like a suitable replacement.

"Reminds me of the clothing donation bins in the neighborhood..." Feng Bujue subconsciously mumbled as he reached for the drawer, then grabbed the handle on the iron shutter and pulled hard...

Clang—

The drawer was pulled open, revealing a piece of equipment and four puzzle cards lying quietly inside.

"Hmm... let me see..." Feng Bujue didn't rush to look at the equipment's attributes but picked up the four puzzle cards first and held them up to his eyes.

The four cards were [Puzzle Card - Smoking Pipe], [Puzzle Card - Wig], [Puzzle Card - Silly Grin], and [Puzzle Card - Sugar].

"Wait, wait... what's with these four cards?" As soon as Brother Jue saw these four cards, he didn't even need the system to search... his mind had already conjured up a possible combination.

"Is this joy4? It's definitely joy4!" In the next second, Feng Bujue couldn't help but exclaim.

As he shouted, he had already summoned the game menu and activated the puzzle card synthesis system.

[A possible combination sequence has been detected.]

Sure enough, the system provided such a voice prompt—Deck Name: [joy4], Consuming [Puzzle Card - Smoking Pipe], [Puzzle Card - Wig], [Puzzle Card - Silly Grin], [Puzzle Card - Sugar] can form a combination.

"It really is joy4!" Feng Bujue shouted, but he didn't stop his actions at all...

[You have selected the deck combination to generate: joy4. Please confirm this operation.]

Brother Jue unhesitatingly selected confirm, and the four cards in his hand transformed into white light and recombined. Two seconds later, a new card floated into his hand.

[The deck has been generated. Would you like to exchange it for equipment?] The system's next prompt also sounded.

Feng Bujue selected [Yes] again, but this time... the [joy4] in his hand didn't disappear in a flash of light like the other decks usually did.

[Please note that joy4 is a special deck. There is a certain risk involved in converting it into equipment. Therefore, you have one chance to disassemble the deck back into four puzzle cards. Please choose carefully.]

After another segment of system voice, a new virtual window popped up in front of Feng Bujue, with two options on it...

One: [Disassemble the deck back into puzzle cards].

Two: [Continue to exchange for equipment].

"What does this mean?" This time, Feng Bujue wasn't so decisive. "Wait, wait... what does 'there is a risk' mean?"

Brother Jue knew that these kind of things that involved gambling on luck and playing the odds were very... very disadvantageous for him.

What was a 1% chance of danger to others was a 99% chance to him...

Murphy's Law was meaningless in front of Feng Bujue. The saying, "If anything can go wrong, it will,"... in Brother Jue's version was—"Let's consider the countermeasures after things go wrong before we act."

"Disassemble, or not disassemble... that is the question." After hesitating again and again, Feng Bujue decided to put this question aside for now.

He put the [joy4] in his pocket and went to look at the equipment in the drawer...

[Name: Rat Mallet]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Attack Power: 1]

[Attribute: None]

[Effect: Each attack deals 1 point of damage]

[Equipment Condition: General Specialization d (Binds on Pickup)]

[Remark: A bizarre weapon that inflicts damage by hammering. The attack power is very low, but it can injure even the strongest enemy.]

"This is a perfect-grade equipment?" Feng Bujue was shocked by the attributes.

He knew the origin of this weapon... the Rat Mallet could be said to be a classic "gag-type" equipment in the *Xuan-Yuan Sword* series. Its original effect was—"When used, a mallet will suddenly appear above the enemy's head, and every time you click the mouse or press the spacebar or enter key, the mallet will hit the enemy once."

Although this weapon had the characteristic of "dealing damage to even the strongest enemy," the "damage" was a fixed value and not very high.

And the [Rat Mallet] that Feng Bujue had in front of him was obviously even more坑爹 (kēng diē, terrible/disappointing)... because this thing didn't even have the effect of cross-space attacks anymore, and the player had to hold it in their hand to hammer people.

"Okay... I understand..." After staring at the item description for a while, Brother Jue muttered, "The reward is 'randomly draw a perfect-grade equipment,' not 'randomly draw a perfect-grade equipment that matches your current level,' so... I'm getting screwed as usual."

"Sigh..." He sighed and said, "Judging from the 'General Specialization d' equipment condition, a character in their teens can use this thing. With my current level 50 character's abilities, even a fine-grade equipment that matches my level is better than this..."

Thinking of this, he picked up the [Rat Mallet] and walked towards the shredder.

"But... there's one thing that's very strange..." On the way, Feng Bujue casually muttered, "The attack power of this weapon is actually displayed as '1'... what's that about?"

This was indeed an unusual phenomenon because, in theory... the attack, defense, and other data in Thriller Paradise were never expressed by specific numbers.

"Since the health of everything is just a meaningless concept, what's the point of showing attack power just for this mallet?" Feng Bujue said, then placed the [Rat Mallet] on the conveyor belt of the shredder and turned to pull the control lever.

But... at this moment...

"Wait..." Feng Bujue's hand stopped instinctively.

"Damn it!" A second later, he quickly released the control lever and rushed forward to take the [Rat Mallet] back in his hand. "So that's how it is!"

Brother Jue now realized belatedly... that he had actually cracked the "hidden effect" of this equipment just now.

The real purpose of this [Rat Mallet] was—to test the specific health of any unit in Thriller Paradise.

"Whew... that was close." Feng Bujue let out a long breath. "I almost turned such a sharp thing into a pile of 'de-energized residue'."

He picked up the [Rat Mallet] again and thought, "I'll find Xiao Tan to experiment with it when I have time, and I can roughly measure how much health a level 50 player has based on the percentage of health he loses..."

Seeing this, some people will definitely ask... Feng Bujue can see through "data," can't he? Can't he see how much health a certain individual has?

Yes, he can't see it.

Simply put... the "health bars" of other players or NPCs that he sees from the data perspective are also displayed as percentages, without specific numbers.

However, now that he has the [Rat Mallet], this situation can be changed...

After Feng Bujue tests the health, he can use it as a reference to test the damage of his various skills... and then use the skill damage to calculate the damage of armor and weapons, and so on. Combined with his "Zero Time Difference Calculation" to apply it, the intelligence advantage he can gain in combat in the future will become more concrete...

It can be said that the [Rat Mallet] is being used to its full potential in Brother Jue's hands, and all its potential can be developed.

"Heh heh heh..." After putting this perfect-grade treasure into his bag with satisfaction, Feng Bujue let out bursts of cold laughter, muttering to himself, "This must be the legendary 'unlucky in love, lucky in gambling' effect, right?"

For some reason, he explained that crooked logic in a tone that described a phenomenon in physics.

"Good!" Brother Jue shouted, declaring that he had successfully established a psychological defense line called "self-deception," and took out the deck from his pocket just now.

"Taking advantage of the good luck, let's open this one too!" Feng Bujue said, then held up the [joy4], summoned the previous window again, and selected the [Continue to exchange for equipment] option.

Here, allow me to use God's perspective to explain what the risk of this deck is.

The equipment exchanged from [joy4] can only be one of the following five items—

1. [Red Combat Umbrella], a legendary composite weapon with extremely high attack and defense, and can summon an extremely powerful Yato Tribe youth to fight for the player, lasting for three minutes.

2. [Purple Combat Umbrella], a legendary composite weapon with high attack and defense, has the function of a machine gun, and can summon a highly skilled Yato Tribe girl to fight for the player, lasting for three minutes.

3. [Brown Bamboo Hat], a legendary protective gear with low defense, but has nearly immune defense against beam-type and mental-type damage, and can summon a highly skilled Yato Tribe girl to fight for the player, lasting for three minutes.

4. [Blank Writing Board], a legendary weapon with low attack power and almost no practicality, but can summon a mysterious creature to fight for the player, lasting for five minutes.

And finally, the fifth thing is...
