Past Lottery Winning Numbers

Listening to the muffled impacts from above, Feng Qi remained calm.

Although the battle between Little Black and the Sucker was intense, it did not affect his continued browsing of the cultivation methods in the database.

He was merely an emotionless database-browsing machine.

Ptooey!

Feng Qi: ...

After searching the database for a while, he opened the detailed introduction page for a cultivation method.

Heaven and Earth Meditation (Cultivation Method):

Founder: Wang Dong (Galaxy Research Institute—B-Class Researcher)

Cultivation Method Rating: Two Stars

Cultivation Method Description: A cultivation method focused on spiritual cultivation. During its practice, a cultivator's spiritual consciousness would be tempered, greatly improving the fluidity with which they cast techniques.

Spiritual Energy Quality Gained Through Cultivation: B+

Compared to Fierce Tiger Fist and Body Tempering Art, Heaven and Earth Meditation was a cultivation method geared toward fighting with techniques.

Having already copied two body cultivation methods, he felt it was time to copy a spiritual cultivation method as well.

Like body cultivation, spiritual cultivation was one of the two mainstream schools of combat studies.

Body cultivation focused on increasing physical strength, using spiritual energy to temper the tendons, bones, and skin, thereby gaining a powerful physique and strength comparable to Domain Creatures.

Spiritual cultivation was completely different. It mainly tempered a cultivator's spiritual consciousness and the quality of the spiritual energy within their body.

Spiritual consciousness guided the formation of techniques, much like a control stick. The stronger a cultivator's spiritual consciousness, the more smoothly they could form techniques. The higher the quality of their spiritual energy, the greater the power of their techniques.

Modern cultivators generally chose to cultivate both paths, and few specialized in only one.

After all, body cultivation and spiritual cultivation did not conflict. Reality was not a game where one had to be divided into a warrior or mage; it was entirely possible to cultivate both.

Flexible application was what mattered most.

After opening the cultivation method's video tutorial, Feng Qi quickly entered a learning state.

While watching the video, he focused on studying the instructional method. Whether he himself could learn it was unimportant.

After all, once he became Living Dead, he could no longer cultivate.

As time passed, he gradually became engrossed.

The learning process was not dull to Feng Qi. Instead, it gave him a sense of fulfillment, like learning historical stories. Whenever his mind gained a new piece of historical knowledge, a feeling of accomplishment welled up within him.

That was the joy of learning, and also a rejection of ignorance.

This two-star Heaven and Earth Meditation was not complicated. Aside from remembering the method's basic principles, the most important thing was the route through which spiritual energy flowed within the body.

The cultivation process was like playing an incredibly complex version of Connect the Dots. Every acupoint within the body counted as a connecting node. Cultivators needed to draw in external spiritual energy, then control it as it traveled back and forth through different acupoints. The final path it traced was the cultivation method.

The method's basic principles concerned a cultivator's control over the speed of spiritual energy circulation—when to be fast, when to be slow, the rhythm of breathing, and so on.

Compared to researching cultivation methods, the actual cultivation process was not particularly difficult.

After a long while, Feng Qi had watched the video several times and finally memorized its contents. He reviewed it once more before exiting the tutorial interface.

By then, the sounds of fighting above had ceased, yet Little Black had not come for his life, proving that the Sucker had not yet been defeated.

He guessed that the two had gradually shifted positions during their battle and moved away from above the Star City Shelter.

Since he still had time, he decided to continue browsing other information in the database.

After thinking for a moment, he opened the search bar and entered a line of text:

"Past lottery winning numbers."

After filtering by year, strings of numbers appeared across the screen.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to use the lottery to make money, because its limitations were too great.

Lotteries in the real world had already phased out offline sales and fully adopted an online model.

Buying lottery tickets required completing a series of identity verifications online, including facial recognition and other forms of authentication. The process was extremely complicated.

Furthermore, the state limited each citizen's daily betting amount. Each person could spend at most two yuan per day on only one ticket, and the prize was fixed at five million yuan.

After all, this was not an era of mindless entertainment. A little casual fun was acceptable, but the state did not allow citizens to spend excessive energy and money on lottery betting.

Finally, even after winning, claiming the prize required passing layer after layer of identity verification.

Thus, using the lottery to make money could only be done once.

If he won frequently, it would attract a series of unnecessary troubles. That was also why he did not want to use the lottery to make money.

The balance in his bank card could only support two more trips into the Future Dreamland. Before obtaining a stable source of income, he decided to use the lottery to make a quick sum, then abandon this method of earning money for good.

After noting down that day's winning numbers in the real world, he opened the database's Domain Field Details, intending to look up information related to Domain Fields.

In particular, he hoped to find detailed records of Domain Fields that had not yet been dispersed in reality but had already been dispersed by people in the future.

It would be even better if there were introductions to the weaknesses inside those Domain Fields.

Mastering this information would be enormously helpful in building an organization capable of opposing the Scarlet Institute.

For an organization to rise, money was necessary, but it was not omnipotent.

Many rare resources produced by Domain Fields could not be bought by ordinary people no matter how rich they were.

These rare resources were generally supplied first to major research institutions, especially special resources that could significantly increase lifespan and strength.

Since he intended to establish a powerful organization capable of opposing the Scarlet Institute, he felt that the way to acquire rare resources in the future would have to be forming his own Domain Battle Squad and obtaining them from Domain Fields.

Unlike the major research institutions, he had no military or Domain Battle Squads backing him. In this regard, he could rely only on himself.

Therefore, learning some knowledge related to Domain Fields in advance would be very useful.

As he browsed, time passed.

When the Narrator's familiar voice sounded beside his ear, he turned around and saw Little Black emerge from the Metal Passage.

No miracle had occurred. Even the terrifyingly powerful Sucker had still lost to Little Black.

"Narrator, farewell!"

Poor bastard, off you go. I won't be seeing you out!

Feng Qi: ...

Clenching his fists, he charged at the approaching Little Black without hesitation.

The moment they made contact, darkness engulfed his vision. Once again, he was killed instantly without any suspense.

Sitting at his desk and watching the countdown to the drawing, Feng Qi was thrilled.

After returning from the Future Dreamland, the first thing he did was buy a lottery ticket online.

After going through considerable trouble to complete the verification process, he finally bought the first lottery ticket of his life—and it would bring him an income of five million yuan.

As he waited, the lottery numbers were drawn.

But when he saw the winning numbers, the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Now that's something!"

Staring at the winning numbers, he could not help applauding.

He had always heard that online lotteries were manipulated from the back end and could be altered at will, making it impossible for ordinary people to win. He had never taken it seriously.

But now, he believed it.

He had planned to fleece the lottery once and stop, yet they had not even given him a single chance. His eyes reddened.

"Fuck!"
