Chapter 420 - A great harvest of Items! (1/2)

In the room.

An air of seduction seemingly floated around.

Zhang Ye poured himself a gla.s.s of water and drank a few mouthfuls. He went to the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water. Only in this way could he cool down a little. His mind was full of images of the landlord auntie's fair white skin. If he didn't do this, his mind would not have been able to settle down. Alright then, it's back to serious business, the lottery draw. Zhang Ye decided that he could no longer be distracted. If he used whatever he had drawn, it would affect his state too much.

Here it goes!

Time for the lottery!

This time, he was going to add 20 additional stakes!

Zhang Ye opened the lottery and started to spin again. He did not idle after that. With his two hands clasped together, his mouth continuously chanted some incomprehensible incantations. Then, in the middle of the spin, he ran to the toilet and quickly washed his hands with some soap. Those who did not know him, whether it be fans or colleagues, would think that Zhang Ye was a very upright and brave person, but in actual fact, those who were familiar with him would know that this was a person who did not even dare to go to the hospital if he was unwell. He was also a little superst.i.tious, even if he neither believed in G.o.ds nor ghosts, but he believed in life.

Sometimes lucky?

Sometimes unlucky?

This stubbornness in believing this had some form of regularity and continuity. He had his own set of theories regarding this and that would be — was.h.i.+ng his hands!

The needle stopped spinning!

It had stopped on the consumption category of items!

Twenty Treasure Chests (Small) had been drawn. Zhang Ye took a deep breath and opened the first one. Then he was stunned. Stunned because it was empty, there was nothing in the chest at all.

The second one was empty too.

The tenth was the same!

Zhang Ye cursed, knowing that he had been scammed!

In past lottery draws, whether the outcome was good or bad, there had at least have been items that could be used, but this time, it was empty. It was clear that empty chests were valid items as well and knowing that it was a lottery, it shouldn't be all that surprising. Zhang Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't experienced such a situation before in so many times of the lottery draw, that he felt that he was having wretched luck today. According to his experience and a.n.a.lysis, the chances of getting an empty chest was really small, yet today, he had met with such an unfavorable situation!

Twenty additional stakes all turned to dust!

That was 2 million worth of reputation points!

Zhang Ye could feel the pinch, but knowing that he had over 50 million made him feel better. After all, accidents did happen. The sun would continue to s.h.i.+ne, producing rainbows after the rain! Well, let's a.n.a.lyze it a bit. Why did that happen? Didn't he already wash his hands? He even showered before that! Logically speaking, it should not have happened! Aiyo, that must be it! He only washed his hands after he opened the lottery draw system! F**king washed a little too late!

Zhang Ye felt that it made sense, so he ran straight to the bathroom again to wash his hands. He even washed it six times as 'Double six breaks the Jinx'! He was doing it for good luck!

Again!

This time, it would definitely be good!

Zhang Ye bought another chance at the draw, and was ready to bet a big one this round. Even though he had drawn the X-Ray vision eye drop earlier, it wasn't powerful enough and wasn't of much use either. Later on, he drew 20 empty chests too. It felt like a bad patch, but as things go, the new draw should bring a surprise! How much should he bet? The largest ever bet he had ever tried was 100 additional stakes. This round, maybe he should go for 200 additional stakes!

Twenty million reputation points were spent just like that!

Zhang Ye bore the pinch from the big spending and looked straight ahead!

Alright, here we go!

Open! Open! Open!

Zhang Ye continuously shouted three times, and the needle came to a stop!

This time, it landed on the Skills Category region!

Although the Treasure Chest (Small) was not big, 200 boxes of treasure chests sparkling in his inventory was still a rather amazing sight to behold. This one was definitely a success! There was no way it could be a failure!

Zhang Ye’s hands trembled as they touched one of those treasure chests. He knew that once he opened it, the contents inside would decide if he lived or died. 200 stakes, that was 20 million reputation points. No matter what kind of experience books appeared, after he ate them, he would definitely gain something great. He would probably not be at full level for the skill, but at least it would propel him to a rather high level. Previously, with those 100 Skills Experience Book for Calligraphy, this was already proven. The 100 books had largely increased his skill and it's effects were obvious. Now, he had 200 books!

Please don't let it be empty again!

Abracadabra Homalihom!

The Treasure Chest (Small) opened with a golden glow, and a book could be clearly seen sitting within it. It looked rather familiar.

[ Computer Programming Skills Experience Book ].

Zhang Ye nearly fainted. He had previously drawn this Experience Skill Book before. Back then, he remembered it was about 11 books that gave him the skills to get into the computer system of Li Tao, an employee of the Shanghai SARFT. He had activated Li Tao's camera and gotten the video evidence that he needed. This skill might be called programming, but practically speaking it was a skill used by mainly hackers, web specialists, or internet security experts. Most of the skillset came from computer programming and web technology!

200 books!

Was this game trying to make this bro a computer hacker?

Zhang Ye didn't think that this skill experience was bad. In fact he knew it was quite good, but to him, he didn't feel that he needed so much experience in this area. It was worth 20 million reputation points, it was just such a waste!

It wasn't ideal!

Today's lottery draws were all too unideal!

Zhang Ye was nearly tearing. Was.h.i.+ng his hands?

I'll wash your sister instead! Comrades! We still need to fall back on science!

As he grumbled, Zhang Ye opened up the 200 Treasure Chests, and then the Experience Books as he absorbed each of them into his brain. Although he was cursing, he still had to learn it. After all, he had spent so much Reputation on it. He couldn't just throw them away. Zhang Ye had accepted the reality of the situation. This was also quite a huge workload, for he spent half an hour before he finished consuming all of them.

200 books of experience books had all been 'eaten'!

And then? Continue the lottery draw! I won't believe this!

Zhang Ye was feeling rather fearless today. He did not believe that his luck would be so poor. He decided not to put any additional stakes this time, and would just get a feel for what was to come. His Reputation points was increasing at a much faster rate now. Compared to the past, he could only draw once with 100,000 Reputation points, which would make him so happy like a darned grandchild, but now, even if he sat at home unmoving, he would gather hundreds of thousands of Reputation points every minute. Hence, he did not mind it too much. After all, he was famous now, and there were more and more people who paid attention to him or liked him. The sources of Reputation points was constantly expanding, and was not as limited as it had been in the past. Hence, if he wanted to think about it, the 20 million Reputation points was nothing much. Since he had spent it, so be it. He could not be lucky for his entire his life. Although the Reputation points were spent, he could still earn more in the future. There was a steady stream of revenue, so it was alright.

It started spinning!

The needle became slower and slower!

Zhang Ye didn't take his eyes off it and also did not wash his hands or pray. It was just 100,000 reputation anyway, he would treat this as a test.

The needle stopped!

It was the largest region yet again — Consumption Category.

Zhang Ye did not have any expression as he opened up the treasure chest, but when he saw the item in the chest, he spat out yet another curse word!

Holy sh*t!

It can't be such a scam, can it?

An item came out from the Treasure Chest (Small) — [Lucky Bread]!

Zhang Ye had gotten this item before too, so he definitely knew its uses and power. It was an amazing item, limited to five minutes of use. It could increase Zhang Ye's luck. For example, he could use it before drawing from the lottery to help him gain better items, and in normal day to day life, it would help him to smoothly sail through any difficult situation. Frankly speaking, after so many times of playing the lottery draw, Zhang Ye had come across quite a number of items, but if he had to pick one that had the most practical use with the best results, he had no doubt that it would be the ”Lucky Bread”. Previously, he had used it to help him get past difficult situations countless of times. It did not have any side effects either. Compared to the ”Difficulty Adjustment Die”, it did not last as long, but it didn't carry a chance of putting him in a difficult situation! Back then, when the ”Difficulty Adjustment Die” was used, it created an extremely difficult situation for him in the form of an aircraft hijacking! He had to literally fight for his life in that situation! That was playing with his life! Overall, the lucky bread was too good of an item!
