System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 565 - 288: "Vast Civilization"! (Seeking monthly votes at month’s end)_6
Because we don’t know the exact probability.
If nothing comes out, we can only wait patiently.
"Let’s go see!"
According to a fifty percent probability, getting two items in one go, even if one of them is a pickaxe, the other should be a Level 9 Ore. These days, Dream Stones have become hard to acquire; it’s as if his initial batch acquisition swept up everyone’s inventory.
In the short term, there is no hope for "Cyber Mine" to expand.
...
Inside compartment 10, Chen Mang furrows his brows, looking down at the two Level 9 Iron Ores in his hands. Getting both items as Level 9 Iron Ore should be a good thing, but...
He looked up at the man called out by the Gate of Space standing anxiously before him and then turned to look at Ai: "Was it also him who dug it out last time?"
"Yes."
Ai replied: "His name is Da Mao, and not only did he dig out the Level 9 Iron Ore last time, but he also dug out the first Level 9 Iron Ore."
"Let me see his residents’ panel."
"Alright."
In the next moment—
The screen on the wall inside the compartment displayed Da Mao’s residents’ panel.
-
"Name": Da Mao.
"ID": 4998.
"Train": Fixed Star.
"Position": Cyberminer.
"Balance": 3031 Fixed Star Coupons.
"Status": 1st Level Resident Benefits.
"Promotion Progress": 100%.
"Spiritual Power": 13.1.
"Physical Comprehensive Quality": 12.2.

"..."
Chen Mang looked at the residents’ panel in front of him, furrowing his brow. In the Cyber Mine, there are a total of 50 Cyberminers. In the past few days, he has acquired 4 Level 9 Iron Ores in total, three of which were brought out from dreams by this Da Mao.
This probability is astonishing.
Over 3000 Fixed Star Coupons is an astonishing number, very few residents on the whole train have that many.
Despite the expensive items in Neon City, those things are meant for the Train Captain, entirely not for ordinary people to use. With over 3000 Fixed Star Coupons, one can live lavishly on the train if they don’t consider buying a refrigerator, freely purchasing from the Resident Store.
Enjoying freedom of peanuts, fruits, cigarettes, buying meat freely.
All this can be easily achieved.
He’s just a step away from being a ten thousand-coupon holder.
He glanced up and down at Da Mao, squinted his eyes slightly, paused for a while, and then patted Da Mao’s shoulder lightly: "Don’t be nervous, you’ve done well. Do you have any tips to increase your probability of bringing out Level 9 Iron Ore from the dream?"
"I... I’m not sure."
Da Mao nervously pinched the corners of his clothes: "Every time before I fall asleep, I hypnotize myself, telling myself I will certainly bring out Level 9 Iron Ore, and perhaps it’s the hypnosis power that makes my bringing it out more probable?"
"..."
After being silent for a while, Chen Mang turned to walk away: "I’m heading back to the train room, find someone to take him to Neon City, let Li Shiji accompany him."
This probability is clearly abnormal.
There are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is a strong sense of belief could increase the probability of bringing out Level 9 Iron Ore.
The second possibility is that this guy’s luck far surpasses a normal person’s.
To determine which possibility it is, doing an experiment in Neon City to test using Li Shiji’s created lottery pool could reveal it. Luck is an ephemeral thing; could someone’s luck be naturally good?
He somehow doesn’t believe it.
...
Inside Neon City.
Chen Mang, Old Pig, Biaozi, Ai, Mr. Li, Li Shiji, and other upper echelons of Fixed Star all gathered inside a store to watch Da Mao prepare to draw a lottery.
"Let’s begin."
Chen Mang leaned on his cane at the store door, calmly observing Da Mao: "Just keep spinning this wheel, keep drawing until you hit the jackpot."
Then he glanced at Li Shiji: "Did you adjust it?"
"Yes, it’s set to completely random; the probability is one in a thousand."
Li Shiji was beside him, ready to record counts, since the roulette’s income needed offsetting; otherwise, the accounts would be chaotic.
"This guy doesn’t look like someone with good luck."
Biaozi quietly mentioned: "I recall he originally belonged to Er Dan’s Azure Dragon train. If he had good luck, he wouldn’t have been a slave for so long; he would have become Train Captain long ago."
"That’s debatable."
Old Pig looked meaningfully at Biaozi: "It was precisely because he was a slave on Azure Dragon train that he got a chance to come to Fixed Star, and even Train Captains die daily. Being a resident on Fixed Star is better than being a small Train Captain."
"And you might not know how he was promoted to 2nd Level Resident Benefits."
"I know about that."
"Back then, Master Mang helped ’Traveling Frog’ complete that S-level Adventure Map task by creating a Level 1 Ore inside a Fixed Star compartment, letting some residents come to dig it, Da Mao was among them, he stood out in front of Master Mang."
"Then he was promoted to 2nd Level Resident Benefits."
"Doesn’t this suggest this kid indeed has better luck than average?"
"Now that you mention it..." Biaozi scratched his head, grinning: "Seems like our luck is not bad either."
"Mine is the best; my ID is 0002."
"I am also good; mine is 0003."
"Let me remind you, I am the real 0002; you got 0003 merely because at the time when numbering, you were the Thug Captain, so you got the 0003."
"Never mind how, just say if it’s true."
Right at this moment—
"Congratulations, jackpot!"
A crisp and cheerful voice came from the store.
Da Mao picked up the Murphy Stone in his hand, turned to look at Chen Mang, somewhat at a loss: "Ma... Master Mang, I hit the jackpot."
"How many times did you draw?"
"Seven hundred ninety-seven times."
Chen Mang squinted, paused momentarily, and continued: "Try drawing once more."
With a one in a thousand winning probability, hitting the jackpot after 797 times feels less like luck is involved.
Could it be...
It’s really about relying on belief and self-hypnosis?
