Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 502: What’s Going On, The Lucky One is Him Again
Seeing the leaderboard, Waldo felt it was only natural.
He had rolled the dice twice for two consecutive days, so being first on the progress leaderboard was normal.
As for being first on the combat power leaderboard, that was also within Waldo’s expectations.
After all, he had acquired quite a few weapons and equipment, which rapidly increased his combat power.
"Maintaining this position until the end of the week, the rewards will be distributed. There should be a lot to gain."
Waldo was in high spirits.
Then, he started rolling the dice again.
He rolled twice in a row.
Once again, he set himself as the lucky one...
...
"Wow, this guy Waldo, being the lucky one twice, and now top of both leaderboards! If only the wealth leaderboard was open, he might have been first there too."
"That’s outrageous, this week, I guess he’ll stay at the top and get huge rewards!"
"Envious!"
"What can we do about envy? We just don’t have that luck!"
Many trialists discussed among themselves.
Their eyes turned red with envy.
Just then, they suddenly noticed that today’s lucky one was announced.
Everyone looked eagerly, full of anticipation.
"It shouldn’t be Waldo this time, I hope it’s me!"
That was the thought in many trialists’ minds.
However, when they saw the name...
Boom!
All trialists were shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief, staring intently at that name.
There was silence for a good while!
Then, a storm swept through the entire chat channel!
The lucky one for the third time was Waldo again!
"Impossible! How is it him again!"
"This is too outrageous!"
"There’s some trickery here, I don’t believe this result!"
"Damn it, is Waldo the system’s own child or what! Three times in a row, I refuse to believe it unless they tell me he’s the system’s own son!"
"Who exactly is this Waldo! Does he really have such godly luck?"
"Alas, Waldo, take my knees!"
Outrageous!
Too outrageous!
The first time could be attributed to luck.
The second time, perhaps he hit a huge stroke of luck!
But the third time, it definitely wasn’t just chance!
No one’s luck could be that good!
As trialists were shocked, they also started to speculate and suspect, boldly guessing if there was any insider dealing.
Or perhaps, this Waldo had some special means to gain the system’s favor.
"Could it be that this Waldo is a secret child of the system, or maybe he is someone with an extraordinary destiny?"
Some trialists speculated privately.
Anyway, quite a few trialists agreed and shared this opinion.
...
Meanwhile, trialists from the 17th District, while surprised, felt more admiration.
"Strong! Waldo, worthy of you!"
"So awesome!"
"Some people, no matter where they are or what their starting point is, are destined to stand out, naturally being the center of attention!"
"This is the difference between him and us. No matter where he goes, he’s destined to stir things up."
"Just wait and see, I think Waldo will make even bigger waves later on! He’s a legend, a legend destined to be!"
Some trialists even crazily believed that Waldo in the chessboard world would, like in the dark
realms, stand out and far surpass other trialists.
...
Time flew by, and before long it was the seventh day!
In these past few days, undoubtedly, Waldo was that lucky one every day.
It had to be said, the Hand of God was incredibly against the odds.
It was practically the biggest cheat in this world.
This also meant that the resources Waldo obtained every day were twice that of most trialists.
At the same time, his progress speed was also double that of many trialists.
Or even more.
Moreover, this didn’t include the rewards from various leaderboards that were about to be distributed.
At this point, Waldo’s rankings on various leaderboards were quite exaggerated.
Combat Power Leaderboard, 450 combat power, ranked first.
The second place only had 200 combat power.
Waldo led the pack by a wide margin, far outpacing the other trialists.
"Not bad, as time goes on, I’ll become stronger and the gap between me and the other trialists will only widen!"
Waldo lay on a chair.
Eating chips and drinking a beverage.
Relaxed and comfortable, he was thoroughly enjoying himself.
This was a scene he had never imagined.
In the dark realms, there were no chips or cola.
Unexpectedly, this chessboard world had everything.
To be fair, the chessboard world was a nightmare for other trialists.
But for Waldo, it was incredibly relaxing and comfortable.
"This kind of life is the best! Free of worries, no arguments, and no fighting!"
A smile involuntarily appeared on Waldo’s face.
It was sunny and highlighted his handsome features.
"However, the chessboard world shouldn’t be this simple."
A hint of worry flickered in Waldo’s expression.
If it continued like this, it would be too easy.
But the chessboard world was meant to be a test!
There might be some changes coming.
...
At that moment, someone contacted him.
[Little Rabbit: Waldo, are you there, Waldo?]
"It’s this little girl."
Waldo saw a cute rabbit avatar and was momentarily stunned.
Then, he quickly realized.
This Little Rabbit was the girl he had traded with before.
She was also a formidable girl, ranking high on the combat power leaderboard.
Moreover, her luck seemed to be consistently good, as she always rolled sixes in the dice, with her progress only second to Waldo.
[Waldo: What’s up, you ran out of food again? Looking to run up another tab?]
Waldo couldn’t help but make a joke.
This Little Rabbit’s luck, though good, wasn’t really that great! Over several days, she had never obtained food or even water.
However, she had all sorts of weapons and treasures.
Of course, these items were eventually used by her to trade for food.
Then, due to Waldo’s extortion and squeezing, the little girl’s possessions were completely taken, and she also incurred a debt to Waldo.
Waldo thought the little girl was going to ask for more food on credit!
After all, from his observations over the past few days, he noticed that despite her small stature, she ate a lot.
Almost rivalling a glutton!
[Little Rabbit: No no, I’m not a glutton, I don’t eat that much!]
In front of a collapsed palace, lay the bodies of wild wolves.
Next to the bodies, a cute-looking girl indignantly said, "What do you take me for, do I look like someone who eats a lot?"
"Besides, I’m scared to eat too much now! I owe you so much food, I’m afraid even selling myself won’t cover the debt."
Waldo responded: "If you’re not here to trade food, then what are you planning to do?"
"My time is quite valuable, you know. I have chicken legs to eat later, coffee to brew, and all sorts of delicacies! You don’t know, I’ve gotten so much food, I can’t even finish it all, I’m afraid it will spoil if I wait too long!"
