Chapter 1212: A great harvest from the lottery draw!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

On this day .

The sun was shining and the autumn wind blowing .

Zhang Ye was finally done entertaining everyone and took half a day off to rest . The celebratory feasts, the gatherings, handling the reporters, holding autograph signing book events, all these activities had left him totally exhausted . Just the signing event alone required him to sign no less than 500 books . But as Zhang Ye wanted to quickly reach the position of the seven spots, and with his milestones of the plan to reach the summit fully lined up with barely any breaks in between, Zhang Ye could only give himself half a day off with only two milestones completed and the third and fourth ones coming up immediately .

He had no choice .

All of this was so he could reach the top in China .

Even though he called it a break, he actually intended to use this half day to do something very important . With this large chunk of free time and his game ring’s Reputation Points reaching an astronomical figure that he only occasionally used to activate the Lucky Halo and buy Memory Search Capsules with, he had no idea how long he had not played the lottery draw . He hadn’t added to his Stats and Special Category items for a long time . So he had to make the best of the time he had to restock . This was also to give himself a better foundation for what was to come in his plan to reach the summit . After all, to forge iron, one must be strong . Having more skills would not be a burden and he was still lacking in many areas . Who would ever dislike being good at many things?

His parents had been out since early morning, but he didn’t know where they had gone . In order to get luckier, Zhang Ye showered and washed himself from head to toe . He washed just his hands alone five times until his skin almost came off .

It was about enough .

He took the opportunity to call Wu Zeqing as well .

It connected after only two rings .

“Old Wu, what are you doing?”

“I’m at work . “

“Have you had breakfast yet?”

“I ate at home . “

“By the way, give me a kiss?”

“What’s the matter?”

“To give me some luck, come on now . “

“Hur hur, but I’m working . “

“Aiyo, just secretly give me a kiss . “

“There’re people around . “

“Oh, then it’s fine, go do your work . “

A short while after hanging up, his cell phone text message tone sounded . Zhang Ye took a look and saw that Wu Zeqing had sent him a photo . It did not show her entire face, and even her nose could not be seen in the picture . All the photo showed was two red lips puckered in an elegant and graceful manner .

It was so tempting!

Zhang Ye’s fantasies were stirred!

Di di .

Old Wu texted: “Is that fine?”

Zhang Ye typed: “Haha, that’s good enough!”

“Why do you need luck?”

Zhang Ye replied: “I have important business . “

Zhang Ye threw the phone onto the sofa and rubbed his hands together, then took a deep breath before opening up the game ring’s interface to look at his total Reputation Points . It was ridiculously high! The long string of numbers dazzled Zhang Ye, and he didn’t hesitate as he activated the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) . He was going to leave it activated all the time without caring about the idle time in between his lottery draws . This bro could afford it… . Forget it, it was probably better to be more prudent .

Which lottery draw should he go for first?

Alright, Lottery Draw (Two) then!

He opened up Lottery Draw (Two) and a virtual slot machine appeared out of thin air . Zhang Ye did not even think before placing five additional stakes costing a total of 50 million Reputation Points!

Zhang Ye had known Lottery Draw (Two)’s additional stakes function for a long time . But he’d never used it much as he was reluctant to do so . He preferred to save the Reputation Points since he did not use to have much . Lottery Draw (Two) cost 10 million Reputation Points each time he played it, and the rate of getting an “Empty” Treasure Chest (Medium) was very high as well . If he was unlucky, he would have ended up with nothing at all . But now that he had so many Reputation Points accumulated, he was much more emboldened . Further, there was also the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) to bring up his chances . Without even batting an eyelid, 50 million Reputation Points were spent just like that!

The lottery draw began!

The slot machine started moving!

One spin .

Three spins .

Five spins .

Zhang Ye closed and eyes and did not watch .

Finally, the prizes were dispensed!

He heard some jingling sounds as five golden medium treasure chests fell out . Zhang Ye nervously and expectantly opened up the five treasure chests .

They were items from the Consumption Category!

All five were the same items!

[Spring Water of Health] × 5: Heals physical injuries and sickness .

In Lottery Draw (Two), the chances of getting an item from the Consumption Category were very low . Zhang Ye could only remember getting the 1-Up item during his first try at the Lottery Draw (Two), but did not come across this category in his future draws . This was because the items in the Consumption Category for the Lottery Draw (Two) were all extremely precious items .

Spring Water of Health?

Heals injuries and sickness?

That sounded really awesome!

And this Spring Water of Health was probably part of a set with the 1-Up as well? The item description for the 1-Up was quite ambiguous . From what he could understand, if any fatal injuries were inflicted on Zhang Ye, the 1-Up should revive him . But whether he would be revived to a state where he was full of vim and vigor was another matter . That sort of godly item was quite unlikely to be found in the Treasure Chest (Medium), though it might be possible to gain such an item from the Treasure Chest (Large) . However, now that he had gotten the Spring Water of Health in addition to his 1-Up, it was going to be the ultimate combination . The 1-Up would be responsible for saving his life, while the Spring Water of Health would restore him to full health . Boys and girls together, the work gets lighter .

The only issue was that the effect of this item was unknown .

Oh yes, weren’t his own internal injuries still not completely healed? Those old injuries he suffered at the martial arts conference had flared up once during his participation in the King of Masked Singers . Although Zhang Ye closely followed the prescription given to him by Rao Aimin and took the medicine religiously for quite a period of time, he did not really dare to use his concealed power in all these months . He was afraid to aggravate his injuries again, and according to Rao Aimin, it was very difficult to fully recover from injuries that were inflicted by concealed power and would require long-term recuperation . So Zhang Ye was bound by his hands and legs most of the time when it came to situations that required him to do something with his powers . He was afraid that it would cause more trouble at a critical moment if he were to take action and then aggravate the injury once more .

This item had arrived quite timely!

After temporarily deactivating his Lucky Halo, Zhang Ye picked up a bottle of Spring Water of Health and gulped it down while pinching his nose .

Eh? Why does it taste so good?

It tasted sweet . Then he could feel his body heating up .

The aftereffects lasted about ten minutes before Zhang Ye slowly wondered if there was any recovery . He moved his arms around and found that he was in an extremely good state of mind . It was as though his whole person was shining, and that feeling was like waking up from a particularly fulfilling sleep without the need to go to work and being able to stretch once awake!

He moved his hands and threw several punches imbued with concealed power!

Huu!

Huu!

His punches even whooshed through the air!

Zhang Ye was ecstatic . He had recovered! His old injuries had really disappeared!

He wondered if this Spring Water of Health would work on anyone else other than him . It wasn’t mentioned in the item description, so Zhang Ye wasn’t sure . Oh, Rao Aimin’s old injuries were even more serious than his, and then there was Qiu Yumei too . Could this thingy heal Sister Qiu’s legs? If it could, then wouldn’t that be defying all common sense?

Cold and fever .

Broken hands and legs .

Were all these included under injuries and sickness?

Eh, could it treat stuttering? Alright, that was enough thinking for now .

Zhang Ye was very excited . He really hadn’t washed his hands for nothing . Old Wu’s kiss was not for nothing either . Taking advantage of this lucky streak, he continued to play the lottery and activated the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) once more!

Come on!

Come on!

Keep going like this!

He was playing more and more rounds of the lottery draw . This fellow was completely unable to stop!

The accumulated Reputation Points were finally starting to drop!

[Fruit of Charm]

[Singing Skill Experience Book]

[Basics of Directing Skill Experience Book]

[Higher Mathematics Skill Experience Book]

[Lock Picking Skill Experience Book]

[Computer Programming Skills – Network Technology Experience Book]

[Computer Programming Skills Experience Book]

How coincidental . Many of the items he was getting from the lottery draw today were items he had gotten in the past . Zhang Ye was randomly adding additional stakes every time he played, so he had a lot of some items and very little of others . Like the Lock Picking Skill Experience Books . He had received this item not long after he gained the game ring system . Then the item was put to good use during the plane hijacking incident soon afterwards . At that time, he had “eaten” too few of those experience books, so it was now time to add on . It was the same for the Computer Programming Skills Experience Books and Computer Programming Skills – Network Technology Experience Books . Although he had “eaten” a lot of those, the Treasure Chest (Medium) skill experience books were not capped . He could continue “eating” more of them . Along with those, he was also able to strengthen his directing, singing, and higher mathematics skills . He also gained some Fruits of Charm that were very important for a celebrity like him, but it was unfortunate that there weren’t much of them .

Of course, some totally new skill experience and Stats Category fruits were gained!

[Fruit of Alcohol Tolerance]: Increase one’s drinking capacity .

Zhang Ye received a thousand of these and ate them all!

[Flight Engine Manufacturing Skill Experience Book]

This skill experience book made Zhang Ye’s balls ache, and he had actually gotten quite a lot of them too . Engine manufacturing? Why didn’t you just give me an Excavator Repair Skill Experience Book instead!

Whatever, I’ll just eat it!

Who knows if it might be useful later!

At the end of the lottery draw, Zhang Ye even dropped by the Merchant Shop and bought several hundred Taiji Fist Skill Experience Books at once . He could straight up buy this item as he had its purchasing rights . He had no need to use the lottery draw and could buy it whenever he wanted, except that it was a little bit costly . This book required a million Reputation Points each, and several hundred of them would mean he had to spend several hundred million Reputation Points all at once . His Taiji Fist abilities had gained a slight improvement again, but as for whether he could step up to the level of grandmaster was still to be seen .

Alright!

Enough spending of Reputation Points, that’s all for today!

Zhang Ye did a simple inventory check of his Stats and Skills Category items and felt quite satisfied with it as he raised almost every aspect of them again . He could do everything with even more confidence now!

There was also quite a lot of items left in his inventory .

[Difficulty Adjustment Die] x 1 .

[X-ray Vision Eye Drops] x 1 .

[Pause Game] x 1 .

[1-Up] x 1 .

[Spring Water of Health] x 4 .
