Chapter 27: New Feature – Opening Jars
After sleeping for a while, in his half-asleep state, Zhou Han vaguely heard the sound of flowing water coming from next door.
Hmm? Why is there also a wave of warm steam drifting over?
He could faintly hear the laughter of the two sisters next door.
Zhou Han felt a bit speechless. It was already so late, and they still weren't sleeping—what were they even doing?
In the next room, the air was filled with steam as the two sisters were washing up.
"Sis, do you think Zhou Han might peek at us? These windows are all just paper-covered."
Han Xiangning glanced cautiously toward the window and asked in a low voice.
"Zhou Han shouldn't be that kind of person. Even though he teases us verbally, he's actually quite honest at heart."
After spending a day together, the more mature Han Qinxue had clearly figured out Zhou Han's personality.
"Hmph, is Zhou Han really that good like you say? Do you like him too?"
Han Xiangning pouted, looking unhappy as she spoke in a faint voice.
"No, don't talk nonsense." Han Qinxue's face flushed red as she hurriedly denied it.
"Really not?"
Han Xiangning still didn't believe her. Her hand, however, wasn't behaving, reaching toward Han Qinxue's chest.
"Stop messing around!" Han Qinxue immediately slapped her sister's hand away.
"Sis, how did yours develop so well!"
Han Xiangning said with a bit of envy. In fact, her own size wasn't small either—just one size smaller compared to Han Qinxue.
"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day!" Han Qinxue knocked lightly on her head.
"Sis, look over there in that corner. What is that? It looks like something's there!"
"What thing? That's—ah… a snake!"
Han Qinxue turned her head to look. Her eyesight was excellent.
She immediately spotted that it was a snake and jumped up in fright.
Seeing the small snake slithering toward them, Han Xiangning also screamed loudly and ran out of the bath barrel.
Hmm?
What happened?
Zhou Han heard two screams.
And they were coming from the next room.
His expression immediately darkened—could the two girls be in danger?
After all, this wasn't Earth. Danger lurked everywhere.
Even within Azure Thunder City, safety was only relative. It was said that there were quite a few flower thieves in the city, all highly skilled in martial arts.
Zhou Han didn't think much further and rushed toward the next room.
"What happened—"
Zhou Han had just begun to ask, but…
He saw a scene that made his blood surge. He froze completely, unable to finish his sentence.
The two girls stood there in panic, and every part of their bodies was completely exposed to his view.
As someone completely inexperienced, Zhou Han had never seen such a scene before. Nosebleed instantly gushed out.
"There's a snake, hurry and kill it!"
After hearing their words, Zhou Han let out a sigh of relief.
He then spotted a small snake. He had thought they were facing some serious danger.
Without hesitation, he slashed with his sword, instantly cutting the small snake apart.
"Ah! You pervert!"
"Get out, hurry up and get out!"
Only now, after the tension had passed, did the two girls realize their current state.
While scrambling to find something to cover themselves, they angrily shouted at Zhou Han to leave.
Their eyes were filled with both embarrassment and anger, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Ah, oh, I'm leaving right now…"
Seeing their strong reaction, Zhou Han immediately snapped back to his senses.
He hurriedly fled, otherwise he might be torn apart by their murderous gazes.
What the hell!
This is the classic case of turning against someone after crossing the river!
I helped you so much, and not only do you not thank me, you're even kicking me out.
Lying on the bed, the scene from earlier kept replaying in Zhou Han's mind.
It made him toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
Time is gold, yet gold cannot buy time.
Why were both sisters completely naked like that!
Could it be genetic?
"Ahh, this is so embarrassing. Zhou Han saw everything. How am I supposed to face him in the future!"
Han Xiangning covered her face with a blanket, her cheeks flushed and burning. Just thinking about the scene made her want to dig a hole and hide.
"You're still better off. After all, there's mutual affection between you two. I'm the one who suffered the most. I didn't even complain, yet you're the one shouting."
As Han Qinxue spoke, she couldn't help but recall Zhou Han's awkward expression and burst out laughing.
"You can still laugh!"
"What else can we do now that it's already happened? Do you want to look back at him too?"
"Sis, you're so bad…"
"Alright, let's sleep!"
The next morning, Zhou Han woke up feeling refreshed.
When he was about to go call the sisters, he found that they had already gone out.
They even left a note saying that they would go farm monsters by themselves today, telling Zhou Han not to worry.
Heh, up so early!
Looks like they're still too shy and don't dare face me.
Thinking of this, Zhou Han couldn't help but smile.
After having breakfast at the inn, Zhou Han also began working toward today's goal.
First, set a small target—reach level 20.
[Global Announcement: Day 2 on the Divine Demon Continent. 16,359 players have died. 83,641 players remain.]
[New Feature "Jar Opening" has been unlocked. Locations have been marked on the map. Players may check them out themselves.]
Opening jars?
Why does that sound a bit like a certain game on Earth?
Zhou Han immediately asked the system for more information.
He quickly got a general understanding.
Every player can receive one free clay jar each day at 6 a.m. from the Jar Merchant.
The jar can contain anything—what you get depends entirely on luck.
Zhou Han found it quite interesting. Since it was a free jar anyway, he decided to go take a look.
Following the map's guidance, he arrived at the Jar Merchant's location.
At this moment, the place was already packed with people. Many players were crowded together, all highly excited.
"Young man, here is your jar for today. Take it! If you want more, you can buy them from me—only 10 gold coins each, cheap and good quality."
Fortunately, the Jar Merchant had a large interaction range.
As soon as Zhou Han approached, even from a distance of about ten meters, the merchant initiated dialogue with him, saving him from having to squeeze into the crowd.
[You have obtained: Common Clay Jar x1.]
[Common Clay Jar]: Has an extremely small chance of yielding high-quality items.
Zhou Han silently chose to open it.
[You have opened the Common Clay Jar.]
[You have obtained: 1 gold coin.]
As expected, a normal result.
Zhou Han hadn't expected to get anything good anyway.
After all, luck is conserved.
"Damn! My luck is terrible. I opened three jars and only got 5 gold coins. Huge loss!"
"Why is it so expensive? One jar costs 10 gold coins. I poor guys can't afford this."
"Trying to change fate is too hard. The probability is freaking low. I'm out, going to grind monsters."
"I hope I hit the jackpot in one try. Changing my destiny depends on today!"
"Woohoo, I got a gold-tier staff!"
"So lucky! I'm so jealous!"
…
Many players were opening jars there. Those who got nothing cursed loudly.
Those who got good items were all ecstatic.
