The righteous loli system seemed quite annoyed: “It’s over, a huge loss. The host has already learned it; there’s no way to take it back… How could I make such a low-level mistake? Something’s wrong, that old hag on the other side must be screwing with me!”
Hmm? Loss?
Listening to the righteous loli system, this Book of Cuisine seems very precious.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t just throw blame around, it’s clearly your own ditziness!” The villain system’s mature female voice was displeased.
“Heh, don’t I know you? You dream of emptying out my good stuff! Once I’m empty and worthless, the host will be at your mercy!” The righteous system sneered, “But you can’t empty me out; the treasures in the Starry Sky Treasury are endless!”
The villain system was quite helpless: “…You shorty, do you have persecution delusions or something?”
Listening to the two systems’ daily bickering, Jiang Ke’er shrugged, forced to be the fisherman who profited.
“Host, I admit defeat this time. The Book of Cuisine should have been an S-rank or higher inheritance, just like your Cauldron Cultivation Method, but that old hag on the other side messed me up… I can’t do anything about it,” the good-aligned system said coldly, “But I’ll make her pay for it later!”
“Hey!” The villain system was practically fuming, “It’s clearly your own problem, what does it have to do with me?!”
S-rank or higher inheritance?
A book about cooking has this effect? Jiang Ke’er didn’t quite believe it.
I’ll try making a few dishes once we get ashore.
No, no need to go ashore.
Jiang Ke’er looked at the fish bucket on the boat.
Unbeknownst to her, Qiao Xiaoxian had already caught quite a few fish, which were clearly today’s lunch.
While Qiao Xiaoxian was starting a fire, Jiang Ke’er continued to draw from the limited good-aligned system prize pool, quickly emptying it.
It cost a total of 20,100 value points.
No rare items were drawn afterward.
She obtained 200 Foundation Establishment Pills, 60 Level 2 Spirit Root Books, 62 Level 2 Charming Bone Books, 20 magic crystal bags, 30 Hemostasis Pills, and 30 Spirit Recovery Pills.
Her good-aligned points balance was still a little over ten thousand, mostly contributed by Qiao Xiaoxian.
Then came the villain prize pool.
Jiang Ke’er temporarily stacked the items in her inventory, brought up the villain prize pool drawing interface, and prepared to draw everything before using them all at once.
The drawing process for the villain prize pool was similar to the good-aligned one, with no surprises. Jiang Ke’er was a bit numb from drawing.
Just as she was disheartened and about to give up, the sudden appearance of the big spinning wheel jolted her awake again!
My goodness, she actually triggered the 0.1% chance twice within 800 draws! What’s going on? Is this boat she’s on a smuggling vessel bound for Europe?
“Ten years of bad luck, one morning’s reversal! Come out! Grand Prize!”
Jiang Ke’er shouted, pressing the draw button heavily.
Facts proved that this was not a voice-activated system, and rituals were still useless.
She still drew a purple square, and the item she got was called the “Perfect Two Poles Plate.”
“The ‘Perfect Two Poles Plate’?!” The villain system instantly realized something was wrong, “This is clearly an S-rank or higher item; it shouldn’t appear in a purple A-rank reward square. I would absolutely not make such a low-level mistake, unless… you shorty on the other side are sick, aren’t you? What did I do to provoke you? Are you messing with me again?”
“Hmph, you messed with me first! Serves you right!” The righteous loli clearly felt immensely relieved.
“I didn’t! I didn’t!” The villain system wanted to cry but had no tears, so angry her voice trembled, “This time I really didn’t! It’s clearly your own miscategorization!”
“I can’t be wrong. If there’s a mistake, it must be your problem,” the righteous loli stated confidently.
“Bastard! I’m not done with you!” The villain system let out a hysterical roar.
“Come on! Let’s hurt each other!” The righteous loli was not to be outdone.
“…”
As a cauldron, living in this cold and cruel world, only these two silly systems could make her feel genuinely happy.
Jiang Ke’er looked at the “Perfect Two Poles Plate.”
“Use it when your foundation is fully built during the Two Poles Stage to forge a pure and perfect Two Poles Plate within your body.”
So, I need to fully build my foundation first.
Jiang Ke’er quickly emptied the villain system’s prize pool and pulled out the 400 Foundation Establishment Pills she had just acquired.
A refreshing medicinal scent wafted out, and Qiao Xiaoxian couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ke’er, immediately seeing the mountain of pills she held.
“?!”
Even the well-informed Qiao Xiaoxian was utterly shocked.
Jiang Ke’er sat on the ground, hugging the mountain of pills, and began popping Foundation Establishment Pills into her mouth one by one like popcorn.
Qiao Xiaoxian recognized them as Foundation Establishment Pills but still couldn’t quite believe her eyes: “Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely precious. Even the most powerful sects in Shenzhou struggle to obtain a single one. Where did you get so many?”
“None of your business,” Jiang Ke’er said, popping one after another, crunching happily.
“The Two Poles Spirit Sprout needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills only grows once every ten years, and one sprout can only refine one pill. Therefore, only one Foundation Establishment Pill is born every decade, and each time one appears, it causes a bloody storm in the cultivation world… After all, it’s a medicine that permanently enhances one’s talent.”
Qiao Xiaoxian reached out to take a pill to examine it, but Jiang Ke’er slapped her hand away.
Jiang Ke’er pointed at the Foundation Establishment Pills, then at herself, lifting her chin proudly: “Foundation Establishment Pills, mine! If you want to eat them, buy your own!”
Through Qiao Xiaoxian’s explanation, Jiang Ke’er finally understood.
These Foundation Establishment Pills were different from the kind of pills used to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in traditional cultivation novels.
These were pills used to enhance the foundation of the Two Poles realm, providing permanent benefits to cultivators, with each one being incredibly valuable.
As if afraid Qiao Xiaoxian would try to snatch them, Jiang Ke’er quadrupled her pill-popping speed, grabbing handfuls of pills and stuffing them into her mouth, devouring them ravenously.
The yield that would take 4,000 years to achieve across the vast lands of Shenzhou was consumed by her in mere minutes.
“Burp~”
She even let out a satisfied burp.
After stuffing all 400 Foundation Establishment Pills into her stomach, Jiang Ke’er contentedly patted her belly.
At this moment, she exuded the fragrance of Foundation Establishment Pills all over, like a walking human flower patch.
Then she took out the “Perfect Two Poles Plate.”
As soon as the Two Poles Plate touched her finger, it burrowed into her dantian, beginning to merge with the black gouyu in her dantian.
However, it only merged halfway.
The Two Poles Plate looked like a yin-yang tai chi symbol, divided into black and white.
The black part merged with Jiang Ke’er’s black gouyu, but the white part flew out and, to Jiang Ke’er’s frantic gaze, merged into Qiao Xiaoxian’s dantian.
A copy of the terrifying medicinal effects of the 400 Foundation Establishment Pills was also replicated and merged with Qiao Xiaoxian.
That day, Jiang Ke’er finally understood the saying, “Those who freeload are always freeloaded upon.”
