[Blue_Dinosaur: GG. Our Interesting Host is dead… RIP.]
[Lightening_Meteor: It was fun while it lasted… RIP.]
While some viewers were already starting to lose faith in Zephyr's possibility to survive, there were still quite a few that wanted to believe that he would survive.
[Invincible_Bob: You can do it, host! I believe in you! Please survive!]
[Red_Marble: Do your best!]
Among the millions of people that were watching the entire broadcast, although only a few of them held this belief in their heart, even that small number was still in thousands!
[Ding! Thousand of people hope for your survival; thousands of people believe in you!]
[Ding! You have gained 15000 Belief points!]
Although Zephyr was too busy enduring the pain from his burning skin, he still managed to focus his mind and managed to see the notification!
'That's what I was waiting for!'
With a newfound flame of hope in his heart, Zephyr immediately opened the shop icon!
'The reward for killing that snake monster was a guaranteed chance to draw a 'Perfect Grade Skill'!'
'If I can draw some skill that can enhance my fire resistance, then I will survive!'
Without further delay Zephyr clicked the lottery icon inside his mind.
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy a lottery?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes!'
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully bought a lottery!
[Ding! Congratulations! You have pulled a rare skill, 'Perfect Stealth'!!]
'Sh*t!! I should have known that my luck was not good enough to pull anything good!'
Stealth was definitely a good skill to hide from monsters and eldritch horrors, but it was completely useless at the moment!
You can't hide from an area-wide attack that leaves no place to hide at all!
These laser beams are raining and bombarding everywhere! There's nowhere to hide and use the stealth skill right now!
Looking at his remaining 'BP' Zephyr felt helpless.
[BP: 13000]
Originally, he already had 8000, and the 15000 this time made it 23000, but after using 10000 on a lottery, only 13000 was left!
'I still have one more chance… but… should I buy the lottery or the hint?'
Zephyr felt stuck in a dilemma.
His guaranteed pull chance was used up, and his luck was so bad that nothing good was likely not going to come out of that sh*tty lottery pool.
On the other hand, the hint mechanism was not dependent on luck or lottery.
The system was named an 'All-Purpose Hint System,' and even the hint option was showing that whenever he would buy a hint, the answer he would get would be according to his situation.
'Perhaps I might get some hint to survive this situation…'
With immense determination, Zephyr decided to gamble.
'Oh god of gamblers and thieves! Give me your blessing!'
[Ding! Are you sure you want to buy a hint?]
[Yes or No]
'Yes!'
[Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully bought a hint!]
{Hint: When stuck in a stalemate, it's always good to fill your stomach first and then lay flat on the ground to rest!}
'wtf!? What!?'
A look of disbelief appeared on Zephyr's face as he felt that he had been scammed!
'What do you mean, eat your fill and lie flat!? Are you telling me to go and die!?'
For a while Zephyr could not help but feel bewildered and helpless.
He was out of options now; not only did he have no more BP, he was being fried alive by the intense heat!
The molten silver was dripping on his back and his body, causing even more severe damage and pain every single second!
'Stalemate… fill your stomach… lie flat…'
Just as the situation was getting more and more desperate, a sudden enlightenment struck Zephyr, and he suddenly felt like he understood what that weird hint was trying to tell him!
Zephyr hurriedly looked at the meat stick that he had been carrying with him until now and noticed that at some point, due to the constant bombardment of the laser beams and the shockwaves, the meat stick had rolled outside the protection of the spearhead!
And to Zephyr's surprise, the meat stick was completely intact!
'Could it be…'
Thinking something in his mind, Zephyr used his strength to drag the massive spearhead along with him and distanced himself from the meat stick.
And just like Zephyr had expected, a massive beam of laser came and fell on the meat stick, but instead of destroying it, for some reason the meat stick completely absorbed the laser beam and remained intact!
"So that's how it is!!"
As if he had found the hope for salvation, Zephyr rushed to the meat stick that was perfectly cooked by the laser beam and hurriedly took a bite out of it!
[Ding! You have eaten the meat of a 'Photon Worm-Eating Snake'!]
[Ding! You have gained a temporary buff! You will be immune to Photon Worm collision for the next 30 minutes!]
'This is it!'
The moment Zephyr got this strange buff, he threw away the spearhead, ran as fast as he could, made some distance from the spearhead, and lay down on the ground flat like a dead body!
[Perfect Stealth!]
Without wasting a single second, Zephyr activated his 'perfect stealth' and reduced his presence to the absolute minimal levels!
[Blue_Dinosaur: What is he doing!? Is he out of his mind!? He will die like that!!]
[Invincible_bob: No! Host, don't lose hope in yourself like that!]
Just when the viewers were confused as to what Zephyr was trying to do, a massive laser beam came down at insane speed and smashed straight into Zephyr's body!
*BOOOM!!*
The entire comment section of the livestream went silent for a moment as everyone thought that Zephyr was done for.
[Ding! You have been hit by a 'Photon Worm'!]
[Ding! You are currently immune to the attacks of 'Photon Worms' due to your buff!]
[Ding! Congratulations! You have become the first person to kill a 'Photon Worm!]
[Ding! You have been granted a guaranteed rare artifact pull chance at the next lottery pull as a reward!]
'I knew it!'
