Because of Xiao Chenyu's wild imaginings, the free-for-all that had originally required both sides to take the field turned into a one-on-one duel between Xiao Chenyu and Bai Ge.
And since Bai Ge ultimately won the duel, this wager between the ordinary students and the work-study students ended with the work-study students' victory.
Thanks to the victory in the duel, Xiao Wu successfully became the Big Sister of all Nuoding Academy, while Bai Ge also completed his task as he wished and gained a little brother—Xiao Chenyu.
After the duel ended, through his conversation with Xiao Chenyu, Bai Ge learned that Xiao Chenyu was the Young City Lord of Nuoding City. During their exchange, Xiao Chenyu also tried to probe Bai Ge's identity indirectly.
Bai Ge naturally claimed that he was merely an ordinary work-study student from a village called Sacred Soul Village, adding that if Xiao Chenyu didn't believe him, he could investigate it himself.
Xiao Chenyu naturally hurriedly said that he believed him. But although he said he believed him, Xiao Chenyu became even more convinced of his own judgment.
After all, everyone knew that martial soul inheritance was based on bloodlines. How could an ordinary small village possibly produce someone with a martial soul possessing Innate Full Soul Power?
And if Bai Ge truly were just an ordinary work-study student, how could he possibly have obtained a Hundred-Year Spirit Ring? Therefore, there could only be one explanation: Bai Ge was no ordinary person.
But for a minor figure like himself, even if he knew Bai Ge was no ordinary person, there was no way he could uncover Bai Ge's true identity.
After all, if even a minor figure like him could uncover Bai Ge's specific identity, wouldn't all the painstaking efforts of the great power behind Bai Ge to hide him have been for nothing?!
Thus, not only did Xiao Chenyu fail to believe Bai Ge's truthful words, he instead strayed farther and farther down the path of wild speculation. If Bai Ge had known what Xiao Chenyu was imagining, he surely would not have known whether to laugh or cry.
By the time Bai Ge finished his duel with Xiao Chenyu, it was already dusk.
Seeing that night was about to fall, and knowing that Xiao Chenyu was the Young City Lord of Nuoding City, Bai Ge easily learned from him the name and location of Nuoding City's most prestigious High-End Restaurant.
And in order to show his loyalty, Xiao Chenyu even said that he could take Bai Ge there anytime, anywhere. Of course, as the little brother, he would naturally cover the bill.
Since it was already late, they definitely could not go today and could only wait until tomorrow. After Bai Ge and Xiao Chenyu agreed on a time and place to meet the next day, everyone arrived at their destination for the evening—the second floor of the Cafeteria.
The reason so many people were going to eat on the second floor was that Xiao Chenyu said that, to celebrate finding himself a boss, he would treat everyone to Eating on the second floor tonight.
Because Xiao Chenyu had been constantly trying to please Bai Ge along the way, his original little brothers naturally would not be so tactless. With the students' side deliberately playing along, both groups remained cheerful and harmonious until the meal ended.
And although Xiao Chenyu only regarded Bai Ge as his boss, he did not neglect Xiao Wu and Tang San, who had won the agreement and become bosses as well.
Until the meal was over, Xiao Chenyu conducted himself very well, and his conversations with Xiao Wu and Tang San were quite pleasant. This even improved Xiao Wu's opinion of him somewhat.
It could only be said that Xiao Chenyu truly deserved to be the Young City Lord of Nuoding City. Although his temperament was not particularly good, his abilities were beyond question; calling him adept at social maneuvering would not be an exaggeration.
After dinner, Bai Ge and Tang San did not return to the dormitory with the others, instead going to see Grandmaster.
There, Bai Ge and Tang San reported to Grandmaster what they had seen at Spirit Hall. Afterward, Grandmaster taught them for over an hour before Bai Ge and Tang San finally left.
When they returned to the dormitory, the other children had already finished bathing and begun cultivating on their beds. After washing up, Bai Ge and Tang San likewise sat cross-legged on their beds and began cultivating.
But unlike Tang San, who was genuinely cultivating, Bai Ge merely appeared to be cultivating. In reality, he sank his consciousness into his mind and began contacting the system.
Wasn't the reason he had taken an Incense Bath—oh, no! A bath—so that he could get lucky a few times during the lottery later and draw some good stuff?
"System, I want to use up all the Gacha Chances I've accumulated over the past few days."
In his mind, Bai Ge spoke while suppressing his excitement.
"Please confirm the order of the draws, Host."
the system replied.
"Use the Black Iron Rank Lottery chance first."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ge answered.
He still preferred bitter before sweet, so he decided to use the lowest-ranked Gacha Chance first.
"The Black Iron Rank Lottery chance has been used. The system is drawing..."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn the martial skill Poison Dragon Whip Technique!"
The draw ended, and the system's notification sounded.
"Poison Dragon Whip Technique... Is it a martial skill that uses a whip?"
Bai Ge's heart stirred slightly.
"Would you like to view the draw information?"
"Yes!"
With Bai Ge's confirmation, a virtual Attribute Panel immediately appeared in his mind.
Skill Name: Poison Dragon Whip Technique Skill Type: Martial Skill (Whip Technique) Description: A whip-based martial skill from a certain comprehensive martial arts world. It is divided into four forms: Nine Serpentine Bends, Poison Dragon Bares Teeth, Twin Dragons Emerge from Sea, and Whip Heaven Trample Earth. This is an exceptionally powerful martial arts whip technique. What are you waiting for?
A whip technique? Not bad.
Thinking that the Cloud-Soaring Vine could also be used as a whip, Bai Ge could not help secretly nodding. It seemed the system's lottery really did pay attention to his wishes!
"System, use the Silver Rank Lottery chance too."
After accepting the Poison Dragon Whip Technique, Bai Ge struck while the iron was hot.
"The Silver Rank Lottery has been used. The system is drawing..."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a Pill Gift Pack: Hundred Herbs Pill x5, Marrow Cleansing Pill x5, Grain Abstinence Pill x5, Essence Pill x5, Qi Replenishing Pill x5."
"A Pill Gift Pack? Pills? But System, what exactly does this x5 mean? Don't tell me there are only five of each pill?"
Bai Ge could not help frowning.
"The Host is mistaken. x5 does not mean five pills, but five bottles. Each bottle contains the same quantity—twenty-four pills. Please do not worry, the system is not that stingy."
the system explained.
"Alright, but System, do I have to take out the Pill Gift Pack and retrieve the pills myself? I don't have anywhere to store things right now."
As if he had thought of something, Bai Ge's expression darkened.
Although Bai Ge had long known that living in a dormitory would definitely be inconvenient, he had not expected this day to come so quickly.
"Host, rest assured. Any items drawn from the system can be placed in the system's exclusive reward space. Time within the reward space is frozen, so it will not affect the drawn items."
Only after hearing the system's answer did Bai Ge's expression improve somewhat.
"System, use the last Gold Rank Lottery Chance."
"The Gold Rank Lottery Chance has been used. The system is drawing..."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on drawing one Pokémon Swablu Pet Egg! (It has been converted into a Spirit Beast status that conforms to the rules of Douluo Continent.)"
The system's congratulatory voice rang out again, but Bai Ge could not help freezing when he heard the name of the Gold Rank reward.
"Swablu? Could it be the Pokémon Swablu from the Pokémon cartoon I watched as a child?"
Pokémon—this had been the name of the animated series when Bai Ge watched it as a child, but after growing up, Bai Ge learned that it had been renamed Pocket Monsters.
Thinking back to the combat strength of the Pokémon in the animated series he had watched as a child, Bai Ge realized that they were actually quite impressive.
At the very least, they were stronger in battle than most Spirit Beasts on Douluo Continent. Moreover, Bai Ge remembered that Swablu seemed capable of evolving into Altaria.
Based on the size of the Altaria in Bai Ge's memories, it seemed capable of carrying a person. That point alone was enough to make Bai Ge happy.
However, he recalled that the reward description during the draw had stated that Swablu's status had been converted into that of a Spirit Beast conforming to the rules of Douluo Continent.
He wondered what Swablu's evolution would become and what changes would occur to the Pokémon Skills it knew. Those were what Bai Ge was curious and worried about.
But all in all, this lottery draw had been a massive haul!
