Eat first, think later.
One by one, the Fruits of Agility went into his stomach.
In just two minutes, Zhang Ye had eaten 20 Fruits of Agility. Then, he casually lifted his elbows to exercise a few times and threw a few punches into the air. Needless to say, it was quite effective. He felt that his movements were significantly faster than before. It was not an increase in muscle strength, but in his agility and reaction speed. After his brain sent the signal, his body became much more agile. After eating so many Fruits of Agility, he felt that his entire body had become lighter and more comfortable.
Unfortunately, it did not seem to be of much use.
Firstly, it did not seem to be of much help to his career. His work did not require any agility. Secondly, it was of little use for self-defense. This was because his main martial arts skill was Taiji Fist, and Taiji Fist was not known for its agility. In fact, it was relatively "slow", so there was no need for him to be too fast.
If there was anything that the Fruits of Agility could help him in, then it would be when he offended someone and got ganged up on by a thousand people. It could be used to escape.
Alright, I guess I can use it for emergencies.
After doing all that, Zhang Ye did not continue with the lottery draw. Instead, he lit a cigarette and pondered for five minutes. Finally, his eyes narrowed and he decided to upgrade the system. Firstly, he was curious. If he did not upgrade the system, he would always keep thinking about it. Secondly, Zhang Ye was getting more and more popular. His position in the entertainment circle was also getting higher and higher. The few items in the Merchant Shop and the current lottery draw system did not seem to be able to satisfy him anymore.
For example, in the past, Lucky Bread (Small) had helped him create accidents and opportunities, winning him the Radio Station's Silver Microphone Award. The Lucky Halo had also helped Zhang Ye use "Woman Flower" at Lee Anson's concert to disgust him. He had even rolled the Difficulty Adjustment Die that reduced the difficulty by 5 times. In the past, all of these had helped him a lot and were very effective. But now, or in the future, this bit of luck might not be of much help to Zhang Ye anymore. Besides, the Lucky Halo was not always as effective and lucky in the places he wanted it to be. This did not mean that the Lucky Halo or Lucky Bread (Small) were getting worse, but because Zhang Ye's level was getting higher and higher.
He might as well use an "Invisibility Potion" that could not turn his clothes invisible.
It was better to break the "red line" with the slightest sign of trouble.
Or a Bad Luck Sticker that only lasted for five minutes and other consumable items with a very short time limit.
These items all had their own limitations. In the past, Zhang Ye was still at a low level and did not have much contact with them, so he could use them quite well. But now, he was much worse off.
It was time to level up!
Two hundred million? 200 million it is!
Zhang Ye's heart was bleeding. He did not even dare to look at it. He clicked on the little exclamation mark icon at the bottom right corner of the game interface and opened up the system update window!
[Confirm]/[Cancel]
It hurts!
How painful!
He clenched his fist and finally clicked confirm!
[Upgrade begins]
"Used up 200 million reputation points."
[Upgrading, please wait.]
[Upgrade Progress 1% … 12% … 17% …]
After waiting for about half an hour, the system update finally reached 100%. Then, the interface closed with a whoosh and reopened. The game interface that popped up was not the same as before. The arrangement of options had changed slightly, and there was a new option.
[Reputation]: 2,048,211.
[Item]
[Shop]
[Lottery Draw (1)]
[Lottery Draw (2)]
Zhang Ye first clicked on Lottery Draw (1). When he looked at it, he saw that it was exactly the same as the previous "Lottery Draw" interface. It was just that there was an additional "1" beside the name. If he wanted to purchase it, he would still need 100,000 reputation points. Hence, Lottery Draw (2) was clearly a new option, which was also the additional function that the system mentioned.
Open!
Under the options, a completely different interface popped up.
In Lottery Draw (Two), it was not designed with a compass and pointer. Instead, it was something like a slot machine. It was a three-dimensional machine with a joystick on the side. However, it was different from other slot machines in that it did not display three windows in the middle. For example, in the 777, every 7 occupied a column, but this slot only had one column. Now, the default icon for this column was "Empty". Then, one could vaguely see two icons above and below the column. The one above was "Consumption Category" and the one below was "Skills Category".
A brand new Lottery Draw system!
Zhang Ye was a little unsure. When he saw that there was an option to purchase it, he pressed it to give it a try. Even though he was already mentally prepared and knew that this new Lottery Draw system would definitely be different from the previous ones, when he saw the amount of reputation points needed for Lottery Draw (2), he nearly cursed out loud!
[Will cost 10 million reputation points]
[Yes/No: Confirm purchase]
10 million! This was daylight robbery!
Although you get what you pay for, it's still too much!
Following that, the system gave an explanation: [System upgraded. Special rewards released. New Lottery Draw (2). Probability of drawing a Special Category item is 100% (Limited to one time only).]
The first time he drew a Special Category item, he would definitely draw it? This gave Zhang Ye a little comfort. Otherwise, those 200 million would have been wasted! Using so many reputation points to exchange for a system upgrade and an upgraded Lottery Draw system to purchase items from the Merchant Shop? He did not know if it was worth it!
Draw!
Let's see what I can draw first!
Zhang Ye took a deep breath and gritted his teeth again as he spent another 10 million reputation points. He clicked on Lottery Draw (2) and purchased the lottery draw rights. When he touched the virtual screen, it was actually the same as when he was in the inventory. He could feel a physical space inside and grab hold of the specially-made slot machine's wrench!
With a pull, he let go!
The slot machine's lottery draw window started to move rapidly!
Special Category!
Special Category!
And it was even in the Special Category!
There were no longer any "Consumption Category" or "Skills Category" on the icons. This was because after the system upgrade, 100% of the rewards were in the Special Category!
Then it didn't matter.
Shua, shua, shua. The machine beeped. Those icons that were labeled as Special Category prizes were moving from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed. The window kept moving for a long time before it slowly slowed down. Bit by bit, it came to a stop. Bada. It landed on one of the Special Category prizes.
Whoosh!
The slot machine sounded with the sound of a winning prize!
Bang. The prize was announced: [Congratulations to player for obtaining the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) Merchant Shop's purchase rights. The original Lucky Halo purchase rights will be overwritten.]
What?
Upgraded version?
Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows in delight. Aiyo, he was just muttering that the current Lucky Halo could no longer support the development of his career, but now it was giving him such a big gift? He immediately went to the Merchant Shop to have a look. The original "Lucky Halo" icon was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by a milky-white halo icon that was much larger than the original icon. Behind it was the words: Lucky Halo (Upgraded)!
[Effect: Increases luck.]
[Price: Consumes 100,000 Reputation Points per second.]
Needless to say, this upgraded version of the Lucky Halo was definitely many times more effective than the normal version of the Lucky Halo. Just by looking at the price, the normal version cost 10,000 Reputation Points per second, while the upgraded version cost 100,000 Reputation Points per second. If the price equaled the effectiveness, then the upgraded version would probably be ten times more effective than the normal version. This was practically giving Zhang Ye a free ride. This trump card of his was too great. The only flaw was that the price was too high. If it cost 100,000 Reputation Points per second, then using it for a minute would cost 6 million Reputation Points?
The greater the power, the greater the cost.
Zhang Ye did not care about that for now. Having another trump card was always good. So when he saw that he still had 10,001 Reputation Points left, he decided to play the lottery again. Of course, he still chose Lottery Draw (2).
Buy!
Draw!
As the slot machine spun, his total Reputation Points of over 200 million were almost completely depleted.
Shua, shua, the icons flashed rapidly!
[Empty]
[Consumption Category]
[Consumption Category]
[Stats Category]
[Empty]
[Skills Category]
The icons flashed past Zhang Ye's eyes from top to bottom, but there was no pattern to them at all. It was different from the Lottery Draw (1)'s compass. None of the icons had a fixed region. Some were connected, some were skipping, and all of them seemed to be random. There were even many "empty" icons. Clearly, if he got this one in the end, then the 10 million would definitely go down the drain. This "empty" signified that there was nothing there. Occasionally, he would catch a glimpse of the "Special Category" icon on the slot machine, but it was only a glimpse. It seemed like there was an award there, and then there was nothing else. It was difficult to even catch a glimpse of it. Just think about how low the chances of getting this would be.
Not long after, the slot machine slowed down!
Zhang Ye took a deep breath. It was about to stop!
Bada, the icon for the Stats Category moved over to the black zone. Bada, the "empty" icon moved over and jumped over to the black zone. Then, the icon at the top, which was the next icon that was about to move over, was still "empty". This made Zhang Ye's heart skip a beat!
Go over!
Hurry up and go over!
Bada, the second "empty" icon arrived!
Seeing that the machine was about to stop, Zhang Ye wished he could stretch out his leg to kick the slot machine a few times. Just one more time! Don't stop! Move another one!
Bam!
Finally, the "empty" icon did not manage to hold on at the last moment and slid down. The next icon was the Consumption Category. With a click, it squeezed into its position and stood in the black zone!
It was the Consumption Category!
The slot machine had drawn a prize!
A golden Treasure Chest flew out of the machine and floated into the [Inventory] on the top left corner of the interface and was automatically stored away. Zhang Ye quickly opened his inventory and reached out to take the Treasure Chest out and placed it on the bed. Although this Treasure Chest was also golden in color, it was clearly much larger than the Treasure Chests that he had obtained from Lottery Draw (One) previously. It was even much larger, with a length of about one meter and a width and height of less than half a meter.
The name of this item was: [Treasure Chest (Medium)].
A medium size? Did that mean that other than the small and medium sizes, there might be a large size Treasure Chest as well?
Zhang Ye did not think too much about it and opened the Treasure Chest's lid. He wanted to see if the 10 million he had spent was worth it. He wanted to see what the system could get from Lottery Draw (Two) after the upgrade, and what was the difference between it and Lottery Draw (One). In the end, after opening such a large golden Treasure Chest, there was only a small red heart-shaped object inside. It was crystal clear and full of life. It shone with a soft translucent light and was constantly spinning in the box.
What was this?
It looked quite nice?
He bent down and picked up the red heart in his hand. The item's description appeared.
[Life Reward] * 1: A second life.
Zhang Ye was dumbfounded when he saw it. Life Reward? Did this mean that he … had an extra life? When he played games in his previous world, such as Contra or Super Mario, many standalone games had this setting. An extra life meant an extra chance. He never expected that he would have a Life Reward? Did this mean that if he were to be hit by a car while walking on the road, this bro would be able to revive on the spot??
F * * k!
Then this item was too awesome!
If that was the case, then the 10 million Reputation points were worth it!
However, Zhang Ye did not know if it had such an effect, nor did he dare to test it. Lying under the wheels of a car on the road? That was purely courting death. But from this prize, he could clearly feel that Lottery Draw (Two) was not an enhanced version of Lottery Draw (One). For example, a 100,000 Reputation Lottery Draw would give him an Unlucky Sticker for 5 minutes, while a 10 million Reputation Lottery Draw would give him an Unlucky Sticker for 500 minutes? It was not a quantitative change, but a qualitative change. It was a change in level. The items in the newly upgraded Lottery Draw (Two) were of a higher level!
It was like a Life Reward!
It was like an upgraded version of the Lucky Halo!
Not to mention 10 million, if he were to draw it in Lottery Draw (One), even if he spent 1 billion or even 10 billion, he still wouldn't be able to draw something like this. Just this point alone made the 200 million Reputation Lottery Draw cost worthwhile. He could finally find some comfort in his heart.
Well, of course, it was only a little comfort.
200 million!
It still hurt!
Zhang Ye carefully stored the Life Reward into his inventory. He did not have any more money left for the Lottery Draw, so he closed the game interface and lit a cigarette to take a few puffs. The system upgrade this time was really timely and had come at the right time. It had paved a bright path for his future career development. He was looking forward to it more and more, but … the 200 million Reputation Points had already been spent before it even warmed up!
In the bedroom, he could only be heard muttering to himself.
"200 million!"
"200 million!"
Hai, alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Reputation points can still be earned back. It's not a big deal. Who do you think I am? What kind of storms have I not seen before? Talking about it so much is actually because I have nothing better to do. I can't sleep even if I lie down, so I'm just grumbling. It's just a little bit of Reputation Points. This is nothing compared to the normal expenditure. Do you guys really think that I'm going to talk about it for the rest of my life? Do you guys really think that I value it that much? Do you guys really think that I can't get over it? Hur hur, then let me tell you … yes! Me! Really! Really! Go! No! Out! Come!
200 million!!!
