Lottery Draws and Dreams
"There's no problem that money can't solve..."
As an adult, Russell couldn't refute this statement; it's a realistic observation, and that's the norm in society.
"Using Wealth Points to roll back can turn items back into cards. Of course, the cost will be relatively high, and there will be a charge every time." The system's voice suddenly became very mercenary when money was mentioned.
How much does it cost?
"10,000 Wealth Points per transaction. No bargaining whatsoever, regardless of the item's size, volume, weight, specific heat capacity, or value!"
Russell remained silent for a while. "Are you sure you're not a pay-to-win system? Why do I feel like the experience for non-paying players is so bad?"
"It's just my imagination!"
The system fawned, "Uncle Luo, I've inquired about the price. Which item do you plan to roll back?"
"No need, I don't need this feature now." Russell pulled a gray sports backpack from the cabinet, carrying the ring with him, and packed the rest of his M9, Desert Eagle, and digital camera into it.
Be rational when it comes to spending. Why waste money on something that can be solved with just a backpack? The rollback feature is too shady. I'll wait until I unlock Space Battleship before considering it!
Russell stuffed his backpack into the closet, covered it with a few clothes, took a shower, grabbed his keys, and went out. He was still a little dizzy, but he was starving and needed to find a place to have a good meal.
He walked through the market and found a small restaurant at the end of another street. He went in, asked for a private room, and ordered a table full of dishes.
The waiter brought a large bowl of rice into the private room and started eating it before his companions could even finish. Although it was very impolite, we've seen this kind of customer before; he must have been so hungry that he couldn't wait any longer.
I understand!
When the second bowl of rice was brought in, the waiter shook his head repeatedly. This customer looked like he hadn't eaten in a long time; he could really hold a lot in his stomach.
I can barely understand it!
The third bowl of rice was put in... Is this a rice bucket?
Let's try to understand it for now!
The fourth bowl of rice was brought in... Guest, our rice is chargeable!
Sorry, I don't understand!
The fifth bowl of rice was brought in... Tell me, where did you hide the rice?!
Falling into questioning the meaning of life!
The sixth bowl... there was no sixth bowl. Russell finished the entire meal, paid the bill, and left. He didn't say anything to the waiter's dumbfounded expression, leaving only a low-key silhouette.
A normal person's appetite wouldn't be this exaggerated, but Russell's is abnormal right now; he needs to consume energy. Food is digested more quickly by Magic Power once it enters his stomach, so despite eating a lot, his belt hasn't loosened at all, and his weight hasn't changed much.
"No wonder the first thing transmigrators do when they return to the modern world is to try every means to make some money. Transmigration is really not something poor people can handle... But I'm not afraid, because I own a house!"
Russell returned home, poured himself a glass of water, leaned back on the sofa for a short rest, and opened all the lottery draws in one go after calming down.
There were a total of 12 draws, and Russell was really looking forward to it. After experiencing the world of the Eight Legged Freaks, most of his cards were used up. Of the remaining cards, apart from a Character Card of the Duan Shuiliu, the others were not very useful and were just waiting to be sent to the recycling bin.
[Item Card: Credit Card (US$1 million limit)]
[Item Card: Spring Outing 4-Piece Set (Lei Bi, Kang Shuai Fu Instant Noodles Wang Zhongyu Ham Sausage, Yue Li Yue)]
[Character Card: Hong Qi (Cousin, I'm your cousin Hong Qi)]
[Skill Card: Corpse Touching (To be honest, nobody knows what you'll find)]
[Character Card: Su Chahar Can (The Emperor Among Beggars, or a Beggar)]
[Character Card: Xiao Feng (I, Xiao Feng, a true man, am not worthy of being compared to someone like you!)]
[Item Card: Lamborghini Aventador (Just make do with it)]
[Skill Card: Sheep Transformation (Randomly transforms one player on the field into a sheep)]
[Character Card: Aikawa Ayumu (Bakura-yaki Monkey Sake + Crossdressing Master)]
[Item Card: Sister Juice x5 (Smells refreshing, drinks promote longevity)]
[Item Card: Terminator's Sunglasses (Ultimate Nullifier who loses their sunglasses will be killed)]
[Strength Attribute Point x1]
Looking at the 12 lottery items, Russell rubbed his temples. They were still a mixed bag, with some items that he really didn't know how to use.
Russell first added the attribute points, then searched online for information on four Character Cards. By the time he finished, it was already 8 p. m.
Somehow, Russell felt he had forgotten something very important!
"What exactly happened... never mind, my head is a bit dizzy today, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Russell slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move. Even though he had slept for a long time, his head was still spinning.
Perhaps because he had slept for too long, Russell didn't think much of it. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he naturally drifted off to sleep.
A very strange dream, with a medieval fantasy style, which Russell experienced from a first-person perspective.
The funny thing is, in his dream he was a girl, a pure girl born in a small village who grew up carefree into adulthood.
This was the first time Russell had encountered a dream involving transformation, and he was quite averse to it.
Russell tried to wake up from the dream, but when he opened his eyes he found himself still in a dream, a dream within a dream, an endless cycle from which he could not escape.
He realized something was wrong with the dream, and what happened next made him even more certain of it!
In the dream, the girl was abducted by a Giant Spider in the forest. The spider did not harm her and carried her down a cliff to a wooden house... The scene abruptly ends here.
It's like when you're watching a movie and the screen suddenly goes blurry.
When the scene returns, the girl is holding a thick Magic Book, surrounded by bottles and jars filled with colorful liquids. Perhaps because she is having a hard time reading, this scene appears to be very long.
Next, the scene shifts again: the wooden house is burning down, and the girl hides in a tree hollow, looking fearfully at a group of people in front of the house.
White robes! Armor! Broadsword! Staff! Crossbow!
These are a group of Monster Hunters!
The girl left the cabin and returned to the village, only to find it deserted. She then walked to the town to live. Soon, her identity as Witch was discovered, and Monster Hunters, having heard the news, came to hunt her down...
The footage remained continuous, this time fast-forwarded, showing the girl encountering attacks and traps one after another, killing, gaining experience, and leveling up, becoming stronger and stronger.
Her innocent and carefree nature was tainted by bloodshed and betrayal. The girl's gentle heart turned cold and ruthless, donning a protective layer, transforming her from a kind girl into a notorious Witch.
Years later, the Witch grew weary. She met the man she loved, an ordinary lumberjack. The lumberjack treated her with utmost care, and love softened her increasingly cold heart. Under the moonlight, the two poured out their hearts to each other... The scene shifts, and the lumberjack, carrying a bag of gold coins, leads the Witch Hunter.
Moonlight! Slaughter! Blood! Tears!
The Witch and the Witch Hunter perished together. Before dying, she killed the lumberjack with her own hands. However, the dream did not end. The Witch's body was collected by the Witch Hunter who came later. After several dissections and modifications, it was made into Magic Puppet.
At the end of the scene... the Witch's consciousness awakens, her soul breaks free from its confinement, and she begins a killing spree... An old man with a white beard wearing Crown of Thorns appears, kills her with his own hands, and seals her into another dimension.
As the dream ended, Russell's eyelids twitched, and two lines of tears involuntarily streamed down his face. He sat up with a grave expression. "System, the Witch is in my consciousness?"
[Failure Diary]
I'm speechless!
