Chapter 108: Lighter + Gasoline

“I guarantee that clueless idiot just now has already been blacklisted by the system.”
“I bet that fool has never read a fantasy novel. In a fantasy world, it’s trivial to shatter the void and blow up the Earth! If you’re even more powerful, a single thought can destroy thousands of dimensions—truly terrifying!”
“How can you say that about someone? We’re good young people of the twenty-first century; we should care for the disabled. Brain-damaged people count as disabled, right?”
“Hahaha, the reply upstairs was merciless—ahaha, forgive me for laughing shamelessly.”
“You laughed?”
“Zhao Ritian lost—respect, respect!”
“I, Ye Liangchen, respect you even more than Zhao Ritian!”
“Two losers! I, Long Aotian, respect you even more!”
“These three brothers are fighting again; it’s quite entertaining.”
“Entertaining 1.”
“Entertaining 2.”
“Entertaining.”
“Entertaining 10010.”
“Huh? Why 10010 this time? Isn’t it usually 10086? Next time, will 10000 take the stage?”

Chen Bo had seen all this in the livestream chat before; he wasn’t new to these system-bashing fools. You think everyone is like Chen Bo? Only we who criticize the system get ignored by it; as for ordinary people, it depends on how tolerant the system is.

But the system definitely doesn’t kill recklessly; at most, it blacklists the offender. Once blacklisted, they can no longer use any martial arts or miraculous elixirs.

People still don’t realize how severe it is to be blacklisted by the system, but Chen Bo and the elite at the pinnacle of Earth’s power all know: if you’re unlucky enough to be blacklisted, you might as well prepare to die.

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won an intermediate-level Experience Pill in the lottery! The Experience Pill grants 1,000 experience points but is currently unusable.”
“Unusable?! What does that mean? Does this pill have side effects like that century-old Zhu Fruit from before?” Chen Bo wondered.
“Ding dong! Host, the Experience Pill can only be used after you collect system fragments and activate the monster-fighting and leveling feature. Right now, it’s unusable. Even if you take it, it’s like eating a candy—just sweet, with no effect.” Since these were exceptional times, the system didn’t ask Chen Bo for any coins this time.

“Looking at this Experience Pill slowly floating in the system space, I feel like a starving wolf seeing a naked beauty—but for some reason, I can’t reach her! Truly maddening!”

“The biggest problem is that this Experience Pill can’t be used as a weapon! So I’ll save it for later. For now, I need to figure out how to deal with this crisis.”

Chen Bo smiled bitterly. This lottery kept giving him useless stuff. Was his tender flesh doomed to forever become bug droppings here?

The thought of his soft, white flesh turning into disgusting bug droppings sent shivers down his spine and deepened his loathing for these bugs.

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won a lighter in the intermediate lottery! This is just an ordinary lighter. Don’t mistake it for something special—it’s merely a regular lighter.”

“Lighter, lighter,” Chen Bo muttered, the words echoing in his mind like a catchy, brainwashing song.

“Oh right! I can use fire attacks! I refuse to believe these stinky bugs aren’t afraid of fire!” Chen Bo quickly came up with what he thought was a brilliant plan, though whether it would actually work was another matter—he hadn’t tested it yet.

But the problem was, one lighter probably wasn’t enough for a fire attack! Chen Bo frowned in thought.

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won a barrel of gasoline in the intermediate lottery! You’re really lucky. There’s a car in the system space, so now you can go show off by driving.”

Chen Bo ignored the system’s words with flair. Gasoline! Gasoline! Hahaha! Heaven truly favors me! This is the legendary turnaround after a long streak of bad luck!

Gasoline plus a lighter—what would happen? Definitely a loud “boom” turning into a massive fireball that would be hard to extinguish!

Gasoline is hard to ignite on its own, but direct flame will set it ablaze instantly.

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won a Cantonese cuisine cookbook in the beginner lottery. If you study it thoroughly, you can cook many delicious dishes and maybe even become a legendary chef, spreading Earth’s culinary arts in this other world!”

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won a pair of sweatpants in the beginner lottery. Just ordinary sweatpants, but since it’s system-made, the stitching is top-notch and very durable. The size perfectly fits your leg length—a thoughtful service.”

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won an alloy security door in the beginner lottery! On Earth, this door can stop many thieves. As for the wild continent, many can probably break it easily. But don’t be discouraged; at least it’s ten times better than your dormitory door.”

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won a Ultraman Tiga glow stick!!! Ahem, don’t misunderstand—this is just a children’s toy. Don’t get too excited. Yes, that’s all it is!”

“Ding dong! Congratulations, host! You’ve won ten ‘Ge’ pills! You men all know what these are. Please use them sparingly; too many are bad for your health.”

Two advanced lotteries rewarded him with a steam engine and an unlimited power dry powder fire extinguisher—both useless items.

Three intermediate lotteries gave him an Experience Pill, a lighter, and a barrel of gasoline—all useful. The intermediate lottery was better than the advanced one—what kind of logic was that?!

Five beginner lotteries yielded a Cantonese cookbook, sweatpants, an alloy security door, a toy glow stick, and ‘Ge’ pills.

What kind of bizarre stuff were these? Cookbook, sweatpants, and security door were somewhat normal. The toy glow stick was bearable. But what was this ‘Ge’? Pure innocence left me clueless.
