But—
Xiao Yan still didn't rush into anything.
The heaven-defying prizes in the Supreme Tier weren't guaranteed. The only guarantee was that the odds of winning them were higher than in the other tiers.
He only had this one free draw in the Supreme Tier. What if he wound up with some worthless prize? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Better to warm up with a few draws first and see how my luck is..."
"System!"
"Give me one hundred consecutive draws in the Gold Tier!"
Things were different now, after all. The Bronze Tier clearly wasn't worth his time anymore.
One hundred consecutive draws in the Gold Tier would cost just 10,000 points. It couldn't hurt to test his luck.
[Ding—] [The host is so bold!] [Super Villain Points -10,000. One hundred consecutive draws in the Gold Tier have begun.]
Xiao Yan stared intently at the system panel, his eyes full of anticipation.
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won the white trait "I Have A Little Money"—you are guaranteed to receive one copper coin every day!]
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched.
Damn!
What a trash trait!
That was the reward for the Gold Tier?
He sneered inwardly and continued reading.
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
A whole string of "Better luck next time" messages made Xiao Yan's eyelids twitch.
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won x1 piece of ordinary lumber!]
Xiao Yan: "..."
Lumber?
What did I need lumber for? To start a fire?
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won x1 Clever Tabby Cat!]
Xiao Yan's vision went dark.
A cat?
A tabby cat, at that?
System, are you messing with me?
No matter how clever a tabby cat was, what the hell could it do for him on the Dou Qi Continent?
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!]
[Ding—]
[Congratulations, host! You won the High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique—Thunder Shock Palm!]
At last, something useful!
Xiao Yan's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly inspected it.
Thunder Shock Palm: A High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique. It gathered the power of lightning through Dou Qi, then struck out with a palm like the wrath of thunder, unleashing astonishing force. Once mastered, it could draw lightning from the heavens and earth, with power comparable to an Earth Tier Dou Technique.
"High-grade Profound Tier..."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
It wasn't top-tier, but it was still pretty good.
The Xiao Family's highest-ranked Dou Technique was only Mid-grade Profound Tier. In the Xiao Family, Thunder Shock Palm would already count as a treasure worthy of protecting the clan.
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva!]
Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva?
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.
Now that was good stuff!
Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva was an extremely rare spirit medicine that could nourish the soul and heal soul damage. For a soul like Medicine Elder's, it was practically a supreme treasure!
"This one's pretty good. Healing Medicine Elder's soul means I'll have another helper."
Xiao Yan nodded, fairly satisfied.
But—
When the one hundred consecutive draws finally ended,
Xiao Yan stared at the prizes he'd won, utterly dumbfounded.
Twenty prizes.
One hundred draws, and he'd won only twenty!
The two most precious prizes were just the High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique Thunder Shock Palm and the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva.
Everything else was ordinary junk—a few common medicinal herbs, a few low-grade spirit stones, and that... Clever Tabby Cat.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Yan couldn't help grumbling.
"These one hundred draws are such a rip-off!"
"One hundred points per draw in the Gold Tier, and this is all I get?"
He counted the prizes carefully. There were exactly twenty.
And the Gold Tier's winning rate just happened to be 20%...
"This system's displayed odds really are fucking accurate!"
Xiao Yan was speechless. He'd never believe there wasn't some kind of rigging.
What a scam!
This lottery was an absolute rip-off!
"No, I have to try again!"
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth.
"System, give me another one hundred consecutive draws in the Gold Tier!"
He refused to believe the Gold Tier rewards could be worse than the Silver Tier.
[Ding—] [The host is so generous!] [Super Villain Points -10,000. One hundred consecutive draws in the Gold Tier have begun.]
Another string of notifications rang out.
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won x5 ordinary pills—Qi Recovery Pills!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won the Mid-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique—Wind Shadow Step!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! Better luck next time!] [Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won x3 ordinary medicinal herbs—Blood Coagulation Grass!]
Xiao Yan's eyelids twitched as he watched.
These prizes were even more ordinary than the last batch.
Qi Recovery Pills were only third-grade pills.
Wind Shadow Step was a Mid-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, not as good as Thunder Shock Palm.
And Blood Coagulation Grass was a common herb that could be found just about anywhere.
"It's over, it's over..."
Xiao Yan wailed inwardly.
Had that 10,000 points gone down the drain again?
He roughly counted the first ninety-nine draws and found he'd already won twenty prizes.
At a 20% chance, the last draw would probably be another "Better luck next time."
"Forget it, I'll just call it a lesson..."
Xiao Yan shook his head, no longer expecting anything. He could only blame his bad luck tonight.
However—
Just as the result of the hundredth draw was about to be revealed,
something unexpected happened!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst from the system panel!
The light was so brilliant that it bathed the entire lottery interface in golden splendor!
[Ding—] [Congratulations, host! You won a precious reward—"Great Fortune Incense"!]
Xiao Yan froze.
Great Fortune Incense?
What was that?
He hurriedly looked closer.
[Great Fortune Incense: A precious, single-use consumable. When lit, it greatly increases your luck for one minute, granting you extraordinary, invincible good fortune! During this time, anything related to luck—draws, treasure hunts, breakthroughs, and more—has a very high chance of yielding unexpected gains!]
"Holy shit!!!"
Xiao Yan leapt straight off the bed, his eyes shining and his face alight with joy.
What a find!
He'd finally gotten it!
This Great Fortune Incense was practically a heaven-defying divine treasure!
One minute of invincible good luck!
What did that mean?
It meant that for one minute, he'd have divine assistance no matter what he did!
Draws? Guaranteed wins!
Treasure hunts? Guaranteed finds!
Breakthroughs? Guaranteed success!
"Good stuff! This is good stuff!"
Xiao Yan cradled the golden incense stick, which gave off a faint sandalwood fragrance, unable to bear putting it down.
With this, he'd made back all the points he'd lost on the previous draws!
And—
He'd made a fortune!
"Good thing I warmed up with a few draws first!"
Xiao Yan was overjoyed.
With this Great Fortune Incense, he wouldn't have to worry about the Supreme Tier draw at all!
"System, can I use this Great Fortune Incense whenever I want?"
[Ding!] [In response to the host: Great Fortune Incense has no usage restrictions. You may light it at any time, and its effect will last for one minute.]
