Jiang Ke’er returned to her room full of energy, carrying hopes of defeating Qiao Xiaoxian in the future, and entered the System space to cultivate.
In recent days, the acquisition rate of both Orthodox Points and Villain Points had sharply declined, indicating that the incident on Hanye Island was gradually being forgotten by both the Demon Race and the Human Clan.
Fortunately, Jiang Ke’er had already exhausted the Sancai Realm Limited Prize Pool, not only repairing the damage to her foundation caused by the creation of the Block World but also successfully advancing to the Perfect Sancai Dao Foundation.
This temporarily eased her demand for points.
Although points had become scarcer, Jiang Ke’er noticed one particular individual who persistently provided her with Orthodox Points every day—several times daily, no less—a truly dedicated super fan!
【Received 1,000 Orthodox Points from “Pei Min”.】
Today was no different; the name Pei Min flashed across the upper right corner of her vision as usual.
Jiang Ke’er now felt a warm familiarity whenever she saw that name. Given its high frequency of appearance, even she found it hard to imagine what kind of place she held in this little fan’s heart.
If one day it were to disappear, she’d probably feel a little lost.
Equally memorable to Jiang Ke’er were several other point providers.
For example, she didn’t know why, but at intervals, Villain Points from “Senior Disciple Ming Jian of Wuji Sect” would pop up, always accompanied by Orthodox Points from a virtuous young lady.
Then there was the Block Space Dao Yi, who diligently provided over 5,000 Villain Points every day.
There was also a group she couldn’t understand at all—they provided bits and pieces of Orthodox Points daily. These guys seemed nameless, only marked by their racial affiliations: [Zerg] or [Sea Clan]… Sea Clan made sense, but what the heck was Zerg?
Next came the ever-diligent Iron Prison Elder. A few days ago, he’d been sending tens of thousands of Villain Points daily, apparently getting angrier the more he thought after returning… But then, two days ago, the Villain Points from Iron Prison Elder abruptly stopped, as if he had suddenly achieved enlightenment! Jiang Ke’er found this rather regrettable.
Now, the tip of Jiang Ke’er’s tail had started to show a faint red hue. If it weren’t for the Orthodox Points contributed by the Senior Sisters in Lingyin Valley whenever they received snacks recently… she might have already turned into a red-furred fox by now.
Looking at the balance of fewer than twenty thousand Orthodox and Villain Points, Jiang Ke’er sighed: “It seems like a lot, but if another Limited Prize Pool opens, it definitely won’t be enough…”
Before she could finish speaking, a chime rang in her mind.
Two System prompt boxes simultaneously popped up before her eyes.
Orthodox System: 【“Intermediate Appraisal Art” Limited-Time Limited Prize Pool is now open!】
Villain System: 【“Appraisal Art Enhancement Module” Limited-Time Limited Prize Pool is now open!】
“…You two are relentless about squeezing me dry, aren’t you?” Jiang Ke’er rolled her eyes helplessly.
【No, no, no, this is an automatically generated Limited Prize Pool created by the system’s internal algorithm. We don’t have active control over it!】 The Orthodox loli quickly jumped out to defend, 【By the way, Host, have you been spending too much time hanging out with that little brat from the Villain System…? Look at the tip of your tail—it’s all red!】
【It’s obviously you who stole the Host away, okay! Host! Don’t just keep going to that broken Cultivation Arena of the Stars! Our Ancient God’s Supergravity Training Room is amazing too!】
Whenever these two popped up together, they were sure to bicker, giving Jiang Ke’er a headache.
Wanting to avoid dealing with these two idiot Systems, Jiang Ke’er checked the current Limited Prize Pools.
After reading the draw rules, Jiang Ke’er’s scalp tingled.
This round of Limited Prize Pools was unprecedentedly cruel!
The probability of winning the grand prize was one in a thousand, each draw costing 100 points, with no pity system and no upper limit.
The worst part was, aside from the grand prize, every other prize in this pool was just 1 Spiritual Dust!
In other words, if you didn’t hit the grand prize, all points spent would be completely wasted!
Jiang Ke’er did the math… even with normal luck, it would take 100,000 points to win the grand prize!
If her luck was bad, it could be 500,000, or even a million… Since there was no pity system, there was essentially no bottom limit!
Moreover, this prize pool would only be open for three days! Even if she worked hard killing, defending, and healing, she might not be able to accumulate enough points in that time!
Jiang Ke’er could already imagine what kind of emotionless points-grinding machine she would become over the next three days.
Biting her lip, she decided to give up on this round of prize pools and not force herself.
This kind of prize pool was clearly a huge trap, and drawing from it was a losing proposition. Even the regular prize pool was a better deal than these two.
From a rational standpoint, she should save her points for things that could significantly improve her combat power.
After all, the Hanye Island incident was unlikely to happen again, and there wouldn’t be so many sky-fallen points in the future.
Although those two A-grade prizes glowing with purple light were extremely tempting, sacrificing more future potential just for two A-grade prizes—only a fool would do that!
“Hmph! I won’t fall for it!”
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ke’er expressionlessly opened the lottery interface.
Just one draw! Just to try once! What if I win!
Just one try; if I hit the jackpot, it’s a huge profit. If not, no loss!
“I, Jiang Ke’er, am not a gambling addict. I am rational! I absolutely won’t fall into the lottery trap!”
【System Prompt: Congratulations, you have drawn—1 Spiritual Dust.】
“Hmph, I knew it.”
Jiang Ke’er snorted disdainfully and decisively closed the lottery interface.
Ten minutes later.
Clearing her throat, Jiang Ke’er sneakily opened the lottery interface again.
“One more draw, just one! Purely for fun, I have no weird expectations!”
【System Prompt: Congratulations, you have drawn—1 Spiritual Dust.】
Jiang Ke’er curled her lips: “Anyway, it’s only two draws in total, just 200 points spent, just buying some fun. No loss, no loss.”
Half an hour later.
“Ahhhhh—”
Jiang Ke’er gripped her right hand tightly with her left, her expression pained: “No! I can’t continue! This is hell!”
One more last draw?
Hmm…
“Fine, then just one last time! It’s settled! The last time!”
One final draw; if no prize came out, she’d give up completely and never open this damn lottery interface again.
“Since it’s the last time…” Jiang Ke’er swallowed hard, “Then I’ll do a ten-draw combo! Since it’s the last time, I won’t spend anymore after this!”
“Let this ten-draw completely kill my luck and superstition!”
“Come out! Spiritual Dust ×10!”
Though saying this, Jiang Ke’er nervously covered her eyes.
【System Prompt: Congratulations… Spiritual Dust…】
【… Spiritual Dust…】
【… Spiritual Dust…】
【… Intermediate Appraisal Art…】
【… Spiritual Dust…】
【… Spiritual Dust…】
“Heh, as expected, still nothing but rubbish.”
Jiang Ke’er sneered coldly and opened her eyes.
Wait…
Wasn’t something off somewhere?
