Chapter 4068 - 4087: Probability and Expectation

The cabin door of the cultivation cabin opened, and Yao Xuanji emerged with a smile on her face.Lin Chen’s eyes lit up: "Did it work?"

Yao Xuanji nodded excitedly: "It did!"

"Great!"

Lin Chen pumped his fist, his face invigorated: "A perfect start, hit the mark on the first try, not bad!"

Nalan Wushuang and Shang Wenyao were also incredibly happy. Although it wasn’t their promotion, they had long been as close as sisters, a family. No matter who advanced, it was cause for celebration.

"Nalan, it’s your turn!"

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Alright!"

The people replaced the energy block in the energy cabin, then injected the potion and entered the energy cabin.

Two days later, Nalan Wushuang opened the cabin door with a wry smile on her face.

"I clearly felt a reaction, but it just wasn’t enough, couldn’t quite make it over..."

Lin Chen stepped forward, hugged Nalan Wushuang, and patted her back.

"It’s alright; we still have another potion, even if we continue to fail, it’s no issue. There are so many level 8 promotion potions on Planet 11, we can just try a few more."

"It might have been hard to find before, but now we have promotion potions too. We can completely exchange with other families, and I think no family would mind having more types of promotion potions."

Nalan Wushuang responded with a hum, her expression improving significantly.

"Wenyin, it’s your turn."

Comforting Nalan Wushuang, everyone then helped prepare for Shang Wenyao.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Shang Wenyao’s advancement attempt ended.

Failure!

Lin Chen comforted her as usual. Fortunately, with Nalan Wushuang’s previous failure, even though Shang Wenyao was a bit down, she quickly adjusted her mood and returned to normal.

Lin Chen released Shang Wenyao from his embrace and said with a laugh: "It’s all because Xuanji was too exceptional, hit the mark right away, raising all our expectations, but in reality, as Zhang Hongjiu said, for the eight of us, if each had a bottle of promotion potion, having two people succeed would already be a good probability."

"To be precise, even under good circumstances, it’s only a one-fourth probability. With us four, Xuanji hit the mark; it already matches the standard."

"Our failure is normal; success would be an unexpected delight. You see, I haven’t even started, and I’ve already found reasons for my own failure."

The three women were all amused by Lin Chen’s words.

Nalan Wushuang encouraged: "Go for it, strive for success, then we would reach half probability."

"Let’s hope so!"

Joking with everyone, Lin Chen replaced the energy block and then injected the potion into his veins, stepping into the cultivation cabin.

Lin Chen didn’t wait two days before pushing the door open and coming out, spreading his hands with a helpless expression: "Well, our probability is also one-fourth, no surprises, no disappointments."

Yao Xuanji encouraged: "Everyone restore to their perfect state, and when recovered, let’s try the next potion!"

Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, let everyone recover, whoever feels in a good state can try the breakthrough first."

The three sat cross-legged, calmly recovering.

And they sat for a long time.

Nalan Wushuang was the first to stand up, resolutely walking into the cultivation cabin ready for a long time.

Three days later, the cabin door opened, Nalan Wushuang came out with a brilliant smile.

Lin Chen looked up and laughed: "Not bad, another perfect start, at least one-third!"

Nalan Wushuang said: "I felt as though the previous potion played a part too, though it might just be my illusion, or maybe the Zhang Family’s potion was stronger, I entered the state faster this time."

"The last time I failed to advance, it felt like treading an unfamiliar path, the road was perilous. This time, advancing felt like a familiar road, much easier. It was like scaling a mountain previously, always feeling just a bit short of strength. This time, I was indeed ready and pushed through at once."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "If that’s the case, then that’s good, anyway, we can produce the Huang Family potion, even if we know there’s no chance, it’s good to start with one before advancing..."

Yao Xuanji laughed: "Indeed, there’s no problem, since there are no side effects from failure, if there aren’t any, we might as well, as psychological comfort if nothing else."

Yao Xuanji turned to Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao: "Who of you will go?"

Shang Wenyao bit her lip: "I’ll go."

Lin Chen consoled: "Don’t worry, just go for it. If it works, great. If not, we’ll exchange for different potions and continue. You’ll advance eventually."

"Alright!"

Two days later, Shang Wenyao came out with red-rimmed eyes. Although she didn’t cry, it was clear she was quite upset.

Failing twice consecutively, even though it was within the probability range, the fact that others succeeded while she repeatedly failed had some impact on her mood.

There is always a gap between objective and subjective.

Lin Chen stepped forward, hugged Shang Wenyao, and comforted her warmly.

Shang Wenyao whispered: "I feel so stupid..."

Lin Chen laughed: "Don’t say that, I haven’t even started yet, you might just end up including me in your self-criticism."

Shang Wenyao quickly shook her head: "No, you will definitely succeed."

Lin Chen laughed: "Alright, if I succeed, it’ll be thanks to your good words, borrowing your revitalizing luck."

Shang Wenyao, though upset herself, didn’t want to affect Lin Chen’s mood, so she encouraged herself: "Yes, you definitely can, you have always been the best among us."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, wait for me, I’ll give it a try."

Lin Chen injected the potion, walking into the cultivation cabin.

Does Lin Chen feel pressure?

The pressure isn’t too great, but who doesn’t want to succeed?

That’s a person’s subjective hope, expectation, objective circumstances cannot stop it.

According to Zhang Zhongjiu, a one-fourth probability is decent, after Yao Xuanji succeeded in the first round, it was achieved, but who doesn’t hope for more success?

Although it’s a one-fourth probability, that’s a general calculation, not a constant number. With one success already, among the remaining three, getting another success isn’t impossible, right?

It might even be me?

In this second round as well, although Nalan Wushuang succeeded, reaching one-third already, who doesn’t hope for yet another success?

Over two days later, Lin Chen opened the cultivation cabin.

The three women’s eyes all simultaneously fell on Lin Chen’s face. Lin Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "Come on, hug me, congratulate me."

He succeeded!

The three women’s eyes widened, all showing excited expressions.

Out of three, two succeeded!

This probability is two-thirds!

Incredible!

Lin Chen first hugged Nalan and Yao Xuanji, then held Shang Wenyao in his arms, kissed her forehead, and smiled: "Once we’re back, we’ll exchange for other potions, try from multiple families. We’ll keep trying until we succeed..."
