Chapter 64 - New Feature of the Lottery – Additional Stakes! (1/2)
The second day after Mid-Autumn’s Day.
It drizzled lightly overnight and the morning was cool.
Zhang Ye was resting. In his rented apartment of about 30 square meters, Zhang Ye was preparing for something very important – the Lucky Draw.
At this moment, his total Reputation had reached an alarming 630,000. It had acc.u.mulated 100,000 points from before, from the broadcasts of “Ghost Blows Out the Light” and “The Wizard of Oz” over the past few days, as well as more from the fans gained from Weibo’s “See Me or Not” poem, and “Shuidiao Getou” from the live broadcast of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet. Also, there was the popularity that Zhang Ye had received from yesterday’s Beijing Evening News and Beijing Times. It was as if flowers were blooming from all directions. Hence, his Reputation had reached an unprecedented large number with all these aspects. Counting it, Zhang Ye had really never obtained so many Reputation points before. He felt like a nouveau rich!
It was so addicting!
It could be said that his hard work had paid off!
Zhang Ye forgot about his pressures and took a deep breath. Then he went to the bathroom and used some soap to wash his hands three times before sitting down on his bed — He was always this superst.i.tious.
The game’s interface appeared.
[ Inventory ]: Currently empty.
[ Merchant Shop ]: Only ”Memory Search Capsule”
[ Lottery ]: There was only this method left to obtain new items.
Zhang Ye used his heavily scented hands to tap open the Lottery screen and chose to purchase the chance at the Lottery once. After he made the confirmation, the wheel began to spin. The drawing had begun!
Stats Category…
Consumption Category…
Skills Category…
Special Category…
The needle slipped past one after another!
About ten seconds later, the needle began to slow down!
Zhang Ye had previously had great luck when he had obtained a Special Category prize. He did not have any extravagant wishes, as the probability of it happening again so soon was too low. This time, he was hoping to obtain a Stats Category or Skills Category prize. It was because he had still not seen what sort of items there were in these two categories. He had no concept of it, so he naturally antic.i.p.ated it. He also wanted to be familiar with the game ring’s usage and effects as soon as possible. For example, what was a Skills Category item? For example, there were parentheses at the end of the Treasure Chest, within which was written “Small”. Was there a Treasure Chest (Medium) or Treasure Chest (Large)? How was it opened? Or did he need to level up? Will there only be this feature in the future? Zhang Ye did not understand any of these.
The increase in his popularity depended on it. The Unlucky Sticker, the Memory Search Capsule, etc. had all given him a wondrous boost for his career. Even the modification of the world’s background was all due to the game ring. It was only this that allowed Zhang Ye to use unknown literary works to appear so divine. For such an important thing that he relied upon, he had to research it thoroughly. He had great goals. He would not be satisfied with an average life.
As he was thinking this, the needle had stopped!
Seeing the needle point to a stop, Zhang Ye was a bit depressed. Your sister. Why is it still a Consumption Category? Even if this category accounted for a 50% probability, it shouldn’t happen all the time!
Zhang Ye obtained another Consumption Category’s Treasure Chest (Small). He helplessly took it out and opened the lid. Actually, Zhang Ye no longer looked forward to the Consumption Category, as he had obtained it too many times. However, when he opened the Treasure Chest and saw the item inside and its introduction, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised!
[ Lucky Bread ].
The item's introduction: Effective once eaten. Increases the player's Luck stat for five minutes.
Adding luck? This was a good item! Zhang Ye had clearly not used it before; however, he had used the “Unlucky Sticker” and the “Unlucky Halo”. These items were things that had bad luck effects. From those two items, he could also see what effect that the Lucky Bread would have. It definitely would not be terrible!
Zhang Ye finally laughed. He carefully kept the Lucky Bread, and then opened up the Lottery interface once again. He still had 500,000 Reputation points, and could still draw another five times. However, to be safe, he would leave 100,000 Reputation points unused. He needed to ensure that he could obtain knowledge he could not remember clearly when there was a need. For him to want to become a celebrity, a celebrity more popular than Zhang Yuanqi, it was important for him to be careful.
There were still four more chances!
Zhang Ye chose the Lottery once again, and then confirmed his purchase!
