“?”
Faced with Jiang Ke’er’s stunned gaze and the constantly shifting, complex expressions, Qiao Xiaoxian was quite puzzled.
“…”
Jiang Ke’er felt incredibly frustrated.
This situation of “you’re responsible for being incredibly powerful, and I’m responsible for being beautiful” was definitely not what she wanted.
Fortunately, she wasn’t entirely without hope.
With the system’s help and a little effort, she believed she would one day surpass Qiao Xiaoxian.
Work hard! A beautiful future awaited her!
Go, Jiang Ke’er!
Considering the long time they still had drifting at sea, and since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Ke’er continued to cultivate while checking the system.
The Villain Points Store had new items, and among them, her favorite was a Grade 3 magic weapon sword.
Although this sword didn’t have the powerful spiritual energy capacity of high-grade magic weapons, its blade was incredibly hard and extremely sharp.
When she tested the sword, a casual stab pierced right through the boat.
Qiao Xiaoxian pressed her hand to her forehead helplessly and quickly repaired the hull: “Are you a mischievous child? Testing a sword on the boat?”
“I want to take you down with me,” Jiang Ke’er pouted.
Actually, she had already seen the repair materials nearby; she just wanted to annoy Qiao Xiaoxian.
“…So, does that count as your assassination failing?” Qiao Xiaoxian raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Ke’er’s face turned pale: “No, no! I’m a mischievous child, I was just messing around!”
Fortunately, Qiao Xiaoxian didn’t dwell on the issue.
So, Jiang Ke’er continued to research the system.
The other two slots in the Villain Store contained bags of magic crystals.
Each bag could randomly yield one of these amounts: 6, 30, 98, 128, 328, or 648 magic crystals.
Jiang Ke’er opened two bags and, sure enough, got two 6s.
She scoffed and closed the Villain Store.
Although she repeatedly stumbled in probability events, she hadn’t lost her dream and continued to open the system’s lottery wheel.
With her realm improvement, not only had the store changed, but many new items had also been added to the system’s prize pool.
A limited prize pool had also been opened.
The name of this period’s limited prize pool was “Two-Forms Realm Foundation Building Pool.”
The reason this limited prize pool was triggered was that Jiang Ke’er’s cultivation had improved too quickly, and her foundation was unstable.
Therefore, this limited prize pool included many items to solidify the foundation of the Two-Forms Realm.
Jiang Ke’er looked closely.
This limited prize pool was very interesting, and its rules were different from before.
First, this prize pool clearly marked the probabilities on the wheel:
—50% chance to draw a foundation-building item.
—30% chance to draw a talent improvement item.
—19% chance to draw a magic crystal bag or a finished elixir.
—0.9% chance to draw manufacturing materials of B-grade or higher.
—0.1% chance to trigger a special wheel, randomly drawing an A-grade or higher item.
The prize pool would end once 200 foundation-building items were drawn in total.
Jiang Ke’er calculated that, from a big data perspective, she would need to spend about 20,000 protagonist and villain points each, drawing about 400 times each, to empty the prize pool.
This was the most cost-effective prize pool she had encountered so far, and she definitely had to empty it.
However, after emptying it, her protagonist and villain points would also be almost depleted.
Even if they were depleted, she had to draw… without further ado, let’s start drawing!
This prize pool didn’t have a guaranteed draw for every ten attempts, so it was just a matter of mindlessly going for it.
The first few dozen draws were unremarkable, primarily yielding foundation-building elixirs, along with items like Books of Spiritual Roots, Books of Charisma, bags of magic crystals, and healing elixirs.
This was all as expected.
Jiang Ke’er held no hope for the 0.9% chance grand prize or the 0.1% chance super grand prize.
Perhaps there was a slim chance for the 0.9% B-grade materials, but A-grade items with a 0.1% probability?
“What the hell?!”
[Divine Blessing! Congratulations on triggering the special wheel! Please click confirm to draw an A-grade or higher item!]
A 0.1% chance! Theoretically, something that might not appear even in a thousand draws actually popped up within 800 draws! She hadn’t dared to hope for it at all! Jiang Ke’er’s face flushed with excitement, and she rubbed her hands together, eager to begin.
But she didn’t rush to click the button.
Instead, she had Qiao Xiaoxian conjure a basin of water.
She meticulously washed her hands and face, then changed into a pristine, solemn sacrificial robe.
She lit three incense sticks and respectfully bowed to the air.
After completing this series of rituals, Jiang Ke’er finally clicked the draw button for the special wheel.
The wheel spun very slowly.
Jiang Ke’er clearly saw the pointer drift over bizarrely named gold or colorful squares like “A Big Ivan,” “Fire of Joy,” “Heaven-Weeping Bow,” “Heart of the Ocean,” and “Moonburst Art,” gradually slowing down.
Finally, it wobbled and landed on the colorful “Rogue Sword” square… then, to Jiang Ke’er’s despair, it continued past it, stopping on a purple square.
Damn it!
So, all that superstition was completely useless.
Oh well, purple isn’t bad. I should be content.
The wheel vanished in a flash of light, finally condensing into a book that floated into Jiang Ke’er’s hand. Jiang Ke’er looked at the book.
《Book of Inheritance – Path of Food》
Book of Inheritance? Seeing these four words, Jiang Ke’er was initially a little surprised.
However, upon opening it to learn, she found her mind filled entirely with recipes!
“What kind of trash is this?”
Jiang Ke’er pouted, her expression sour.
She didn’t want to be a chef, so what was the use of these recipes? The author of this book was named… Yang Ye.
“Hmm, what a rip-off. Polluting the prize pool. I’ll remember you. Don’t let me see you again!” Jiang Ke’er thought angrily.
[Huh? Book of Food?] Just then, the voice of the protagonist system’s little loli suddenly chimed in, [Why is it marked A-grade? That’s not scientific… Oh no! I classified it incorrectly!]
Hmm?
That’s right. How could a mere cookbook deserve an A-grade rating? It must be a system bug!
