[Guide to Using the Myriad Worlds Blind Box Machine]
1. Touching the square above the coin slot allows for currency exchange. Merit, luck, and souls can all be converted into energy that serves as Origin Power. The blind box machine will determine the exchange rate.
2. One coin allows for one turn of the blind box machine's lever.
3. Items from the blind boxes originate from all worlds. At worst, one might receive discarded trash or radioactive pollutants. At best, one might obtain world origins, portable spaces, ownership of life planets, or unique treasures like eternal elixirs.
4. All blind box items are random. There is no predetermined proportion of good or bad items, nor any guaranteed drops after a certain number of draws.
5. All interpretation rights are reserved by the designer.
The text is concise, the font is large, and the content is clear and straightforward. There's no deliberate trickery or overly complex rules designed to deter readers. It's simple to understand.
One read is enough to grasp how to play.
Considering that Ding Yun didn't know how to fulfill the original body's commission at the moment, she simply reached out and touched the small square above the coin insertion button, preparing to exchange currency as indicated by the square.
Then, Ding Yun discovered.
Gaia possessed an immense amount of soul power that could be directly converted into currency for the Myriad Worlds Blind Box Machine.
[Ordinary Soul Power 100000:1 Exchange]
(Remaining: Trillions upon Trillions.)
[Intelligent Soul Power 10:1 Exchange]
(Remaining: One hundred three thousand eight hundred.)
"Oh, right, I remember now.
Ever since Gaia's soul underwent metamorphosis, gaining complete wisdom and self-awareness, the soul power of ordinary, unintelligent beings after death became useless to Her. It neither aided Her progress nor Her recovery, and could only be stored near the planet's core.
It's reasonable that so much has accumulated over time. But I hadn't expected that this soul power could be exchanged for currency.
Wait a minute, then I wouldn't have to worry about lacking currency to use the Myriad Worlds Blind Box Machine at all. How many unintelligent lives die on this planet every day!"
Looking at the data displayed on the exchange page and her current inventory, or rather, Gaia's inventory, Ding Yun quickly used the consciousness chip's search function to filter relevant information from Gaia's torrent of memories.
She understood the source of so much soul power.
And she was quite pleased.
After all, who wouldn't like a client with a large inheritance?
It meant she would have to do a lot less.
However, the limited quantity of intelligent soul power was unexpected for Ding Yun. She had assumed that even without major disasters, this world would lose tens of millions of lives annually. The death of so many people should theoretically provide a considerable amount of intelligent soul power. Why was there only a hundred thousand left?
As Ding Yun pondered these questions, the area for intelligent soul power quantity showed new changes, decreasing from one hundred three thousand eight hundred to one hundred one.
This made Ding Yun understand.
Clearly, Gaia had been continuously drawing intelligent soul power to repair her own injuries. Even though, in theory, tens of millions should have been gained annually, with Her constant drawing and usage, it was difficult to accumulate much.
Understanding this, Ding Yun naturally dared not touch that intelligent soul power anymore. After all, those resources were related to Gaia's injuries and her potential to awaken.
However, ordinary soul power was of no concern.
Therefore, Ding Yun quickly exchanged tens of thousands of Myriad Worlds Blind Box Machine currencies using ordinary soul power. She then joyfully began pulling the lever, drawing blind boxes, and continued to do so for over ten thousand times, using up all the currencies she had exchanged before stopping and opening the blind boxes.
Indeed, the feeling of opening blind boxes was quite good.
It felt better than buying things directly.
If the pleasure of buying things was a one, then the pleasure of opening packages from online shopping was a two, opening ordinary blind boxes was a three, then the pleasure of opening Myriad Worlds blind boxes could reach ten or more.
When buying things on the street, you clearly know what the item looks like. When buying online, although you know what it looks like, you can't touch it.
Nor have you seen it with your own eyes.
So there's still a hint of mystery.
Blind boxes are similar; you have a general idea of what might be inside, but not the specific item, which further increases the mystery and curiosity.
The mystery of Myriad Worlds blind boxes is even greater.
You don't even know which world the item is from, let alone what the item itself is. It's a complete blind selection.
You might pick something you don't recognize.
Something you've never seen, or something that doesn't exist.
If not for the possibility of dangerous items, the joy of opening blind boxes could have been even higher. However, Ding Yun felt that few things could threaten Gaia's consciousness, so this point could be directly ignored.
As soon as she stopped pulling the lever, she happily sat down cross-legged.
She sat amidst a pile of blind boxes, opening them one by one.
Then, a pile of miscellaneous items appeared beside Ding Yun. There was soil, grass, ginseng, poisonous snakes, half a pig's leg, and the stomach of some unknown creature. Later, there were even wandering spirits, zombie instant noodles, and so on. It was completely erratic.
And these were only the items Ding Yun recognized.
Besides these recognized items, there was a large pile of things she didn't recognize at all. She could only set them aside for now, planning to study them after opening all the blind boxes.
She would figure out what they were later.
After about three to five hours, Ding Yun had opened all over ten thousand blind boxes. Among the recognizable items, the best was a True Dragon remnant pearl, which essentially meant a broken, shattered dragon pearl.
However, if it were broken into powder or something, it could be fed to creatures with good physiques to cultivate sub-dragon species.
It couldn't compare to a complete dragon pearl.
But it was still much better than the pile of other trash.
As for the worst, it was naturally a large piece of highly contaminated soil. Ordinary soil could at least be casually thrown onto the planet's surface, but this highly contaminated soil, if thrown out, might create some mutated species. Therefore, Ding Yun could only keep it for destruction.
She threw it into lava to destroy it.
What could be worse than something useless that required time and effort to deal with?
After Ding Yun spent considerable time carefully sorting through the known items, putting the useful ones aside, destroying the useless ones, or setting them aside temporarily, she then focused on researching the items she didn't recognize.
In this regard, through her own research, consciousness chip scanning and analysis, and the instinctive perception of the life planet's consciousness, she was able to basically determine.
What use those items had.
So, the next step was naturally to continue categorizing them, separating the useful from the useless, the poisonous ones into another pile, and recording the functions of the items. At the same time, she would give names to some of the items she found useful.
As for the useless and poisonous ones, why bother naming them?
They might not even be used in the future.
