[Grand Prize]

He Zhao shook his head. Whatever he could not remember was probably something trivial. He rubbed his hands together. It was time to prove whether he was a Lucky Person or an Unlucky Person.

"Six draws, plus the slight boost to the grand prize from my first A-rating, and Dad's... Forget it. Pretend I said nothing." For no reason at all, he suddenly remembered the scene of his last three consecutive black pulls.

No, the Jade Register (Imitation) counted as a grand prize too. After all, it could block one fatal attack. Of course, it would have been even better if the word "Imitation" could be removed.

A bamboo tube manifested from the Void. He focused his mind and gave it a gentle shake. A Bamboo Slip fell out.

He turned it over and saw the word [Upper] written on it.

"Woo-hoo—"

His first draw, and he had hit it like some pale face!

The Hetu Dao Master, the Left Guardian, and even the Aberration Ancient God flashed past his eyes one after another.

He Zhao knew his own limits. Drawing a Colossal Giant from a mere Upper Sign was no different from a fool dreaming in broad daylight. That thing was absolutely beyond his reach right now.

The image slowed, finally freezing on Old Jin.

"No f—?"

Before he could celebrate for long, Old Jin slowly moved forward. The old man's wrinkled face seemed to be mocking him as the final reward stopped on a dog?

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Spirit Hound (Deep Mutation)!]

"Simulator, you motherf—"

Before he could finish, a black giant dog suddenly dropped out of the Void. It was a full size larger than a fierce tiger, its entire body packed with bulging muscles.

Thud!

Crack!

The first sound was the black dog landing on He Zhao. The second was the wooden bed failing to bear the weight of one man and one dog, collapsing and shattering with a bang.

Ruthless He Zhao was smashed until his head spun, and he could barely catch his breath.

Before he could shove the beast off himself, it opened its bloody maw and pounced toward his face. A scarlet tongue stretched out and viciously licked his face.

"Slurp—" "Slurp—"

Within a few breaths, Someone surnamed He's face was covered in saliva.

He gathered all his strength and shoved upward with both hands!

The result was that the black dog did not move an inch. It continued happily licking its master's face.

He Zhao: "."

Am I weak now?

No. On the draw before last, he had obtained Elite Camp Rookie Physique, a full threefold boost.

At this very moment, it was nighttime, and Child of the Night gave him a +3 boost across the board.

According to the attribute chart he had made himself, his arms could unleash six hundred jin of force at full strength. Yet he could not even push away a dog.

The question was, just how heavy was this dog?

"Get down!"

If it kept pressing down on him, then when his parents came back, they could attend his funeral feast.

"Woof?"

The black dog tilted its head, confusion showing in its eyes.

What should I do if my new master doesn't seem to like me acting cute?

"I can't breathe."

"Woof!"

The big dog hurriedly leaped away, and He Zhao greedily gulped down air amid the ruins of the wooden bed.

He was a Wolf Extinguisher who dared to test Poison Powder on his own body, who would revive two Sacrificial Vessels in succession just to chop someone up, and who had endured a hundred thousand rounds of immense pain. Yet he had nearly been crushed to death by a dog.

If word got out, it would probably make the Aberration Ancient God laugh itself to death.

"Cough, cough. Go squat in the corner and reflect on yourself!" He Zhao gave the order tentatively. He had discovered that this dog seemed able to understand human speech and was extremely cooperative.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the black dog drooped its ears and walked alone to squat in the corner. It gazed at him pitifully, its eyes full of sorrow.

"Whew—"

He Zhao let out a breath. The Simulator had not screwed him over.

He could be certain that he could not beat it.

"I spent money in the Simulation Scenario fighting it for meat, then it chased me back into reality, and I can't even beat it! Simulator, I suspect you're hinting at something." That was right. This Spirit Hound was Black King from Hengshan Boxing Gym.

"Continue."

After catching his breath, he shook the Lottery Tube again.

Clack!

A Bamboo Slip fell out. He turned it over and saw [Upper-Upper] written on it.

"I hit again!"

He Zhao clenched his fist and could not help cheering.

No wonder the dog planners behind Goose Factory games held lottery events every other day.

The thrill of hitting a grand prize was simply impossible to resist. Once you sank into it, you could not pull yourself out.

The image flashed, freezing on the Left Guardian.

"Please don't let it be some garbage cultivation method, or this luck of mine will have gone to waste."

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Substitute Puppet!]

"Hm?"

Clack!

A wooden doll fell from the Void and smashed into his fragile nose bridge.

He Zhao expressionlessly picked it up. What the hell was this little pain? Even if all ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty were used on him at once, he would not so much as furrow his brow.

"Damned Simulator. Why not tell me what it does?"

An Upper-Upper Sign had to be something good. He simply did not know its effect yet.

"Again!"

With a shake of the Lottery Tube, a [top-tier] sign came into view.

"Jackpot?"

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Talent Upgrade Voucher.]

"Talent Upgrade Voucher?"

As the name implied, it could upgrade one of his talents.

He swiftly swept his gaze over the talents he possessed: [Spiritual Vision], [Child of the Night], [Death Resistance], and [Diligence Compensates for Lack of Talent].

Each had its own advantages. Upgrading any one of them would not be a loss.

Unfortunately, he only had one voucher.

After turning it over in his mind, He Zhao decided to upgrade [Spiritual Vision]. Of the four talents, two had values that could not be assessed, while the last one cost 1,000 Simulation Coins.

Compared side by side, 10,000 Simulation Coins were naturally far more precious.

"Use it!"

The Talent Upgrade Voucher turned into a rainbow and vanished, specks of light seeping into [Spiritual Vision].

[Talent is upgrading: 1%... 5%... 55%... 95%... 100%. Upgrade successful. Please check the new attributes yourself.]

[Spiritual Vision+: You can see things ordinary people cannot see, as well as the approximate attributes of certain objects. (Warning: This talent is the key to entering certain special worlds, but please be extremely careful. To see is to touch.)]

"Hm?!"

He Zhao swept his gaze toward Black King, only to see absolutely nothing.

Then he scanned the surrounding furniture, with no response whatsoever.

"Did this talent freeload off me?"

Before he could spew curses, information surfaced in his mind when his gaze landed on the Jade Bottle placed atop the bedside table.

[Black Dog Blood: Contains a small amount of strange power capable of restraining Ghosts. Usage: apply it, soak something in it, or splash it directly.]

"150 ml of Black Dog Blood?"

The next moment, he looked at the Golden Powder.

[Golden Powder: Due to the invasion of a certain strange power, it has gained the ability to restrain Ghosts and suppress Aberrations. Usage: mix with Black Dog Blood for better results.]

"Jade Register!"

[Jade Register (Imitation): Blocks one fatal attack. Upper limit unknown. Usage: inject a small amount of Spirit Power and wear it on your person. Warning: This Jade Register can only defend against Murderous Iron Laws, curses, and external injuries. It offers no defense against severe poison.]

Well, damn. He finally knew how Old Huang had died.

The Food Demon had Pufferfish Toxin up its sleeve!

He Zhao injected Spirit Power into the Jade Register, then wore it close to his body.

"Too bad I don't know the upper limit!"

Given Ruthless He Zhao's current defenses, a single bullet could kill him, and a single missile could blast him into the sky just as easily.

Of course, no matter what the upper limit was, it was still useful.

Next, he shifted his gaze to the armor he was wearing.

[Full Set of Ruishi Armor: Having experienced Hundred Battles and slain over a thousand enemies, it carries a small amount of killing intent. Swords and arrows can harm Ghosts, while the armor can block a small amount of damage from Ghosts. Usage: wear it.]

He Zhao rolled his eyes. I fucking know to wear it!

Finally, he shifted his gaze toward the Substitute Puppet.
