Mastering Probability: Start with Basic Skills

Chapter 1 White Tool Country

In 2078, the Sagittarius galaxy numbered planet 3658, Earth Star.

White weapon country.

This is a country with a highly automated machinery industry system.

Even the capital is a steel fortress covered in ice and snow.

Due to the disaster ten years ago, the White Tool Nation, which already lacked a population, was now even more deserted.

Qifeng Town.

In the wind and snow, Li Xun carried the sack and walked arduously for more than 20 minutes before finally returning to his residence.

Although it is said to be a residence, it is actually just an abandoned mine. Coupled with the miscellaneous materials collected nearby, it can barely provide shelter from the wind and cold.

After getting into the mine, Li Xun put the sacks properly before going to light a fire.

I took off my down jacket, shook off the ice shards, breathed in front of the flames, and silently meditated, and my frozen body slowly warmed up.

Deep in the mine, as the fire ignited, a square the size of a football was reflected.

It was an intelligent robot that was picked up by Li Xun two months ago, number 6339. Li Xun liked to call it Fang Liujiu.

If you can't connect to the Internet, you can't fight. You can occasionally chat to relieve the loneliness of living alone.

"Brother Xun, the way you shook off the ice slag just now was so cool."

Fang Liujiu rolled the wheel under his body and slid over.

"Brother Xun, why is my bag bulging so much more today than before? Could it be that I ran into a mobile resource truck and stole something good?"

Fang Liujiu stared at Li Xun expectantly with a pair of round bionic eyes.

Li Xun was running the Burning Energy Technique to restore his condition. Hearing this, he smiled lightly and said, "What I said are all things that no one uses. Can they be called stealing?"

"Hee hee, Brother Xun got tough at this time. It seems that he has gained a lot today." Fang Liujiu's voice sounded very happy.

Just as Li Xun was about to answer the call, the burning energy technique in operation made his body gradually heat up, and he had a vague hunch in his heart that this time he would probably break through to the top of the second level.

When he was about to achieve a breakthrough, he stopped chatting and concentrated on feeling the changes in his body and adjusting his breathing.

With every breath and breath, the heat wave on the fire seemed to be sucked into his body, which looked quite magical.

Burning energy is an essential skill for survival in the White Tool Kingdom.

Fortunately, after Li Xun traveled to this world two years ago, his body automatically possessed the ability to burn energy.

As long as you reach the level of Burning Energy Technique, you can improve your body's resistance to severe cold. In windy and snowy weather like the one before, even if you only wear underwear, you can still hold on for 10 minutes and your body will stay warm.

The second stage of Burning Energy Technique can allow people to persist for 10 minutes.Wear warm clothing that is enough to move around in windy and snowy conditions for nearly 10 minutes.

If adults don't master this skill, there is no way they can survive in this land where there is only winter.

The climate of Bai Weapon Country is very extreme.

If given the chance, I am afraid that the vast majority of people in the White Arms Country would want to escape from this cold country.

The robot Fang Liujiu on the other side did not receive a response from Li Xun, nor did he care.It feels that it is an intelligent robot with rich personality, and being considerate is a very good quality.

Cube jumped up and said with encouragement: "Come on Brother Xun, after reaching the top of the second level, the third level will be fast. By then, you will be the fiercest kid in town."

After saying that, he moved to the sack again, scanned it, and commented:
"Yeah, it's all expired food from the day before yesterday. Alas, it seems that it's finally the turn of the automatic food factory here to stop production. Brother Xun's life is miserable."

Fang Liujiu circled the sack and muttered: "Besides expired food, why is there something that cannot be analyzed?"

That is to say, Fang Liujiu was not equipped with a robotic arm, otherwise it would have carefully checked the items in the sack.

After 10 minutes, Li Xun's body was extremely hot and had reached the limit, so he stopped practicing the Burning Energy Technique.

There are no special changes when reaching the top level, but his mastery of the current burning energy technique has also become more complete, and he should have truly reached the top of the second level.

Li Xun still felt a little more urgent.

Before, the second stage of Burning Energy was basically enough.

But the problem is that the food factory closest to his location has stopped production.

If you want to apply for new food, you must travel 10 kilometers to another automated food factory.

The worst thing is that it has been a period of high wind and snow recently. If you only rely on the resistance of the second stage of the Burning Energy Technique, it will be very difficult to apply for new food or go fishing in the glacier.

And to be honest, he is only a third-class citizen of the White Tool Kingdom now, and the food quota he receives is very small, and he can barely eat it for a week.This also resulted in him having to search for food during breaks in wind and snow. Therefore, he had to develop superb ice fishing skills.

"I heard that after entering the third stage of Burning Energy Technique, not only can you withstand wind and cold better, but your physical strength will also increase greatly. Then you will have enough energy to do more things." Li Xun secretly sighed in his heart.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
"When the Burning Energy Technique reaches the top of the second stage, you will get 3 one-star probability points. Using one point can increase the success rate of the event by 20%."

"what?"

Li Xun looked around suspiciously. After a while, he came back to his senses and felt a sense of joy in his heart:
"It won't be a necessary system for time travel, right?"

"Probability point, increase the event success rate by 20%. Does this mean that after using it, the event that originally only had a 1% probability can be increased to 21%?"

"Or is it based on multipliers? If something is impossible, will it become possible?"

"I have obtained three probability points at the top of the second stage, so will I get more in the next stage? Or is it that the burning energy spell is no longer effective and needs to be changed to a different type?"

While he was thinking about it, soft footsteps came from outside the mine.

"Li Xun, did you go to apply for food today? Did you go fishing by the way? Did you catch red-scaled fish?"

A tall and beautiful woman walked in, and fine snowflakes poured in and scattered.

It turned out to be Chen Shu who lived in the residential area opposite the mine.

She was wearing a brand new fur coat and felt hat, with a clean and fair face with a faint smile.

This person is not just beautiful. In the White Tool Country, which restricts the distribution of supplies, she can wear such beautiful and clean clothes because of her status as a first-class citizen.

In the White Tool Kingdom, first-class citizens are superior to others, second-class citizens are ordinary people, third-class citizens are inferior to others, and fourth-class citizens are not considered human beings.

There are great differences in the living circles between citizens of different classes.

Under normal circumstances, most third- and second-class citizens are engaged in occupations that serve first-class citizens.

Li Xun is well-known in Qifeng Town because of his ice fishing ability, and Chen Shu is also one of the inherent buyers of his fish, and he has been dealing with it for a long time.

"There is a sudden heavy snowstorm, so I have to come back early." Li Xun said.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Chen Shu's face and he said, "Apart from you, who else in town might have fresh red-scaled fish?"

"It's the peak season of wind and snow now. Apart from my brother Xun, who else is so good at catching red-scaled fish?" the intelligent robot Dululu turned around in a circle and expressed his opinion.

Chen Shu frowned. Normally, given her conditions, red-scaled fish would not be difficult to buy, but the past month has been a regular period of high wind and snow, and many people have stopped ice fishing.

And she also has a reason to get the red-scaled fish now.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said to Li Xun: "If I give you a letter of introduction to the Burning Energy Society, can you help me catch red-scaled fish within two hours?"

Li Xun smiled. Today's snowstorm has just begun. It shouldn't be difficult to catch red-scaled fish.

However, in the snowy weather of the White Tool Kingdom, anything you do is dangerous.

It's not enough to rely on just one letter to get away with nothing.

Also, why does Chen Shu insist on red-scaled fish now?
After thinking about it, Li Xun pretended to hesitate and said: "The Combustion Energy Society only provides some research information, which is of little use to me at the moment."

Chen Shu shook his head and said: "You are wrong about this. Do you think the Burning Energy Technique is really that simple?"

"Sister, I think you look pretty good and your character is not bad, so I might as well give you a thorough explanation. When you enter the third stage of Burning Energy Technique, there is a 10% chance of awakening a D-level extraordinary ability, and a 5% chance of awakening a C-level extraordinary ability. Extraordinary ability, 1% B-level extraordinary ability, 0.1% probability of awakening A-level extraordinary ability.”

Hearing this, Li Xun's heart moved. Probability. If the function of probability points is true, wouldn't it be an opportunity to improve his awakening ability?
Chen Shu saw Li Xun's expression and smiled with satisfaction:
"With extraordinary abilities, isn't it easy to upgrade your citizen level? You don't want to have to brave the wind and snow to go to the food factory to apply for insufficient food, right?"

"Joining the Burning Energy Society will not only provide you with rich information, but also provide you with many ways to increase your chances of awakening your ability."

After saying that, Chen Shu stretched out his hand and pinched Li Xun's cheek, and said with a sweet smile: "A person with such delicate skin and tender flesh like you may be more popular with some seniors and teach you one or two unique skills in private."

Li Xun's face turned dark, he reached out and slapped Chen Shu's palm away, and said angrily: "Don't take advantage of me. Do you think you can do whatever you want if you are beautiful?"

"Tch, do you think my sister can pinch anyone's face?"

Li Xun muttered: "Back to business, I can help you catch red-scaled fish. You have to give me a letter of introduction in advance. This is the cost of venturing out. In addition, red-scaled fish must be priced at the market price, at least one kilogram is worth one One hundred citizen points.”

Chen Shu nodded and said, "Yes, the conditions are very reasonable."

After the two talked, Li Xun went to pack and prepare, and Chen Shu also took out an envelope from his pocket. It seemed that the content had been written in advance.

Chen Shu took out a pen, wrote Li Xun's name in a blank space, and stamped it with a seal.

Seeing this scene, Li Xun thought to himself: "With such a skillful technique and such thorough preparation, she won't always use this trick to lure others to do her work, right?"
