[Ding, processing yesterday's Tenfold Cashback...] [Congratulations, host. You have received 1,380 Gold Soul Coins.] [Today's wealth has arrived. Would you like to sign in?]
Cao Yu had just woken from his dreams and rubbed his eyes with his little hands.
"Sign in."
[Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations, host. You have received 1,500 Gold Soul Coins and the Tiger Swallowing Jade Pendant.]
Another new thing?
Cao Yu immediately perked up, swiftly pulled on his clothes, and got out of bed.
He opened his personal information interface-
Name: Cao Yu Cultivation: 13 Martial Souls: Gold Soul Coin, Master of Shadows Soul Rings: None Soul Bones: Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone (58,906 years, unused), Aurora Bird Skull (38,000 years, unused) Talents: Innate Soul Beast Affinity, Tenfold Cashback Items: Limit Douluo Experience Card ×22, Cupid's Wings, Seven-Colored Glazed Necklace, Soul Elder Experience Card ×4, Stinky Tofu Production Method, Subduing Dragon Jade Pendant (increases the wearer's imposing presence and increases attack damage by 38%), Soul Ancestor Experience Card ×2, Soul King Experience Card, ... Tiger Swallowing Jade Pendant Wealth: 980,000 (+1,380 +1,500) Spending Points: 138 [Tiger Swallowing Jade Pendant: Increases the wearer's imposing presence and grants an additional 40% Soul Power.]
He glanced at the information.
Cao Yu nodded, fairly satisfied.
Before he knew it, his wealth was close to breaking one million.
That was equivalent to half a year's income for a small family.
His Soul Power had not increased much yet. He could only blame the abysmal drop rate of the [Soul Power Enhancement Card]; an entire year of consecutive sign-ins had only gotten him two.
Even more infuriatingly, it was not for sale. It could only be obtained through signing in or drawing prizes.
However, the odds of getting one from a draw were even lower.
Cao Yu opened the system shop.
There was nothing in the shop that satisfied him.
The items were either too expensive or too ordinary.
The system shop refreshed with different goods every day, and their prices varied as well. Some were outrageously expensive, while others were so ordinary that he had no desire to buy them.
"Draw!"
Since there was nothing he wanted to buy, he might as well draw prizes.
[Ding, the system has detected that the host can perform a ten-pull. Proceed?] [Ding, the host has confirmed. Beginning the ten-pull...] [Congratulations, host. You have received the following items: Secret Hot Pot Recipe: Little Yang Ge's one and only choice. Take all the practical know-how and make money as soon as you open shop! Soul Emperor Experience Card ×3. 20,000 Gold Soul Coins! 60,000 Gold Soul Coins. 250 Gold Soul Coins! Soul Power Enhancement Card ×1. 150 Gold Soul Coins! Soul Power Enhancement Card ×2. Sky Azure Bull Python Torso Bone (98,560 years) Pseudo Holy Sword: Low damage, extreme humiliation. The more attractive the wielder, the greater the humiliation inflicted on the enemy. In severe cases, they will suffer a mental breakdown on the spot!!!]
The system really knows my heart!
Cao Yu was very satisfied with this ten-pull.
He had just been worrying about having so much money and nowhere to spend it.
And he had happened to draw the [Secret Hot Pot Recipe]. If he used it to open a shop...
Wouldn't he be able to spend a huge amount of Gold Soul Coins, then receive [Tenfold Cashback] in Gold Soul Coins through his spending?
Looks like the day I become a wealthy young master is just around the corner!
Besides that, he had also gained a Soul Bone around a hundred thousand years old.
It had even come from a Sky Azure Bull Python. It seemed there had to be some connection to Niu Tian.
At the very least, it was from his ancestors' generation.
The conditions for using this [Pseudo Holy Sword] also happened to suit Cao Yu's looks perfectly.
He would take it out for a test sometime. To be honest, Cao Yu really wanted to know just how attractive he was.
Would it turn someone into a mental patient on the spot?
The thought involuntarily crossed Cao Yu's mind.
He took out three Soul Power Enhancement Cards.
He selected use.
Instantly, a surge of energy gathered, and the three cards dissolved into specks of starlight that swirled around Cao Yu before finally dispersing a short while later.
Cao Yu's presence grew stronger.
He opened the information interface again.
Name: Cao Yu Cultivation: 16 Martial Souls: Gold Soul Coin, Master of Shadows Soul Rings: None Soul Bones: Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone (58,906 years, unused), Aurora Bird Skull (38,000 years, unused), Sky Azure Bull Python Torso Bone (98,560 years, unused) Talents: Innate Soul Beast Affinity, Tenfold Cashback Items: Limit Douluo Experience Card ×22, Cupid's Wings, Seven-Colored Glazed Necklace, Soul Elder Experience Card ×4, Stinky Tofu Production Method, Subduing Dragon Jade Pendant, Soul Ancestor Experience Card ×2, Soul King Experience Card, ...

Cao Yu stretched out his hand, a silver-blue ring on his finger.
In the sunlight, it gave off a pale blue glow. It was beautiful!
This was the Ring of Destiny, a Storage Soul Tool with an enormous internal space that could accommodate practically anything he wanted to put inside.
The Ring of Destiny held things Cao Yu had used when he was little, such as the [Lucky Candy-Flavored Pacifier] and the [Unicorn Rocking Horse].
There were also several sets of clothes inside.
He put things he did not need into the Ring of Destiny mainly to keep them from taking up too much system space. Otherwise, retrieving system items would become inconvenient.
Cao Yu placed the Attractiveness Holy Sword inside the Ring of Destiny. This made it convenient to face enemies, as the sword could appear in his hand with a thought.
It also prevented unnecessary suspicion. With this ring as cover, naturally, no one would discover anything strange about Cao Yu.
This way, he could use his golden finger openly, without having to shrink back as he had before, terrified of being discovered.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window.
It shone on Cao Yu, pleasantly warm.
Only then did he reluctantly get out of bed.
"Another new day has begun."
"Good morning, sun!"
He climbed slowly out of bed, stretched, loosened up his limbs, then changed into a black, gold-trimmed Qin robe.
He had bought this outfit from the system shop. Its size could be changed at will, making it just right for someone Cao Yu's age.
The outfit looked so nice that the old man had specifically asked where it came from.
Cao Yu could only say that those so-called seniors had given it to him. In the end, the old man had even had an identical outfit custom-made.
Wearing it, the old man seemed to possess the bearing of a monarch, while Cao Yu was a little prince who had yet to grow up.
This had made everyone in Star Luo City terribly envious, and before long, robes had become hot sellers.
"Little Brother Yu, are you still not up?"
Two or three sweet, melodious voices came from outside the door, like larks.
"These big sisters really came early."
Cao Yu shook his head helplessly, turned, and pushed the door open.
At the sight of the three stunning girls at the door, Cao Yu's mood could not help lifting.
"Big Sister Jiujiu, Big Sister Little Ya, Big Sister Little Tian, good morning!"
"Good morning, Little Yu."
The girls excitedly crowded around him, then pulled Cao Yu into their arms.
They were still a head taller than Cao Yu now. Perhaps in a few more years, he would be taller than them.
Smelling the natural fragrance of Xu Jiujiu, Tang Ya, and Ning Tian, Cao Yu was utterly intoxicated.
It was as though he had stepped into a sea of flowers, soothing his heart and refreshing his spirit.
"Little Yu, you've gotten even more handsome!" Xu Jiujiu slid her little hand across Cao Yu's face and smiled.
Tang Ya wrapped an arm around him. "Little Yu, did you miss your big sister?"
"Here's some candy. Come on, Little Yu, open wide." Ning Tian, meanwhile, held out her lovely palm and gently fed Cao Yu candy.
Ah~
