It was still that familiar American street, but it was no longer prosperous. Ruins and abandoned vehicles blocked the road. The neon lights had been swallowed by darkness. In the silent night, the occasional cry of a child could be heard, but it was quickly silenced by nearby adults.
Everyone silently raised their heads, gazing at the sky with hope, as if awaiting something.
George was one of them!
He was a newspaper reporter. On his way home from work, he was caught in the crossfire between the Hulk and the Abomination. He abandoned his car and escaped on foot, nearly being killed by the Abomination.
When the Abomination leapt, George was not far from it. He stood there frozen, stunned, and was almost caught by the shockwaves of the battle between it and the Hulk.
He had personally witnessed a poor man being hit by the shockwave from their fight—instantly crushed into meat paste, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Ever since then, he could no longer eat bloody steak or rare burgers.
It was just too disgusting. He also expected that he would meet the same fate.
But just as he was about to die, something unexpected happened. Lu Yi descended like a god, saving him—someone who should have died. He survived, while the Abomination and the Hulk were brutally beaten and humiliated.
He had never felt such excitement before. He stared at Lu Yi, at the beaten Abomination and Hulk, and imagined himself in that moment of danger.
"We must win! We must win! Kill them—kill those two monsters!" George clenched his fists tightly, looking at the two almost invisible black dots in the sky, cheering for Lu Yi.
"Look!"
The silent night sky suddenly erupted with a boom, startling countless hearts. People lifted their sore necks and looked up at the sky. Their eyes locked onto the two barely visible specks. The two dots collided, and the slightly larger one was knocked back by the smaller one. The larger dark dot seemed to burst into flames in the night sky, glowing red like a falling meteor.
This "meteor" stirred people's hearts again, and they rushed toward the place where it would land.
Boom!
Like a real meteor crashing down from the sky, a deafening explosion followed. The impact at the landing point sent a terrifying shockwave that blew people's clothes wildly.
"Look at the sky!" George shouted, never taking his eyes off it.
Everyone looked up. At some point, Lu Yi had appeared above them. Guided by an invisible force, he slowly descended, in a victorious posture. The crowd erupted instantly, cheering and shouting his name, their hearts filled with hope.
But Lu Yi ignored their cheers. He gently landed on the ground marked with web-like cracks. Amid the roar of the crowd, he walked to where Hatred (Abomination) lay deep in the crater, once again looking down at him from above.
"Is he dead?"
He tapped the monster's arm with his toe, but there was no response. The eyelids didn't move. You can fake being a corpse, but you cannot fake your eyelids. As long as you're conscious, they will inevitably tremble.
"Looks like he's really dead!"
Just as Lu Yi made his judgment, a voice from the system suddenly echoed in his mind, startling him.
"Congratulations to the Host for defeating the Hulk and killing the Abomination. You have obtained one Optimized Extraction Chance and one Perfect Extraction Chance!"
"What on earth is wrong with this system?" Lu Yi couldn't help but ask.
"This is an infinitely powerful system. As the system's master, you have the chance to draw powerful beings and obtain everything from them—but that opportunity must be earned through your own efforts. As long as you defeat an enemy, the system will reward you based on their level—just like now!"
"Since I killed Abomination, I get a guaranteed top-tier draw. And since I defeated the Hulk, I get a perfect draw, right?"
"Not exactly. Killing the Abomination grants you the Best Extraction Chance, while defeating the Hulk grants you the Perfect Extraction Chance!"
"How could that be? Is it because their levels are different?" Lu Yi said, realizing something.
"Correct. It's because of their different levels. Abomination is just a defective product, while the Hulk is the true top-grade being. That's why the rewards are different. In fact, the Host is quite lucky!"
"How so?"
"The Hulk is not as simple as you think. He possesses limitless rage. The stronger his anger, the stronger his power. The Host will no longer be able to defeat him as easily as you did just now!"
Lu Yi understood this too. The Hulk had previously been injected with some drug, preventing him from using his full power of infinite rage. Lu Yi exploited that weakness and seized his chance to defeat him.
If the Hulk had stood before him without restraints, fighting him at full strength, Lu Yi would never have had such an easy time. That limitless rage was truly terrifying—its strength had no ceiling. How could someone like that be easily defeated?
Lu Yi had truly taken advantage of a loophole!
"So I basically bought a very good bargain?"
