Chapter 547 - Upgrade unlocked for the game rings system! (2/2)

Zhang Ye could not process all of this right now. An update of the system? Because he had gained 200 million in reputation points, he had reached a milestone that had unlocked the upgrade notification? Was it because he had not brought up the game ring's virtual screen before this, therefore only receiving the notification now? And this upgrade came at a price of 200 million reputation points? d.a.m.n it, this bro had gone through so much before ama.s.sing such a large number of reputation points. And now, almost all of it would be required if he wanted to upgrade the system? What a scam! Do you even know how much can be done with 200 million reputation points? How many lottery draws that can be bought with that? With this upgrade, he would be back at the state before his liberation again after just one night? What kind of improved lottery functions after the upgrade are we talking about? Doesn't he have the lottery draw function already? Oh right, he suddenly remembered that in the past the lottery draw usually gave him a treasure chest that was usually labeled as ”(Small)”. That would mean that there were still treasure chests other than that? What about the special category reward? What kind of reward was it?

There wasn't enough information to enable his decision!

There was totally no way to judge or decide what he would do next!

Zhang Ye felt hesitant. He clenched his teeth, and then, finally clicked on [Cancel]. He really could not bear with the amount of reputation points required.  After he canceled the update, the message minimized to the bottom right corner of the virtual game screen and turned into an exclamation icon. Zhang Ye tried to click on it and the message reappeared. Then he clicked on [Cancel] and it minimized back to its place again.

He needed some time to consider it.

He wanted to give it some thought first. So he decided that he would go ahead for 2 turns at the lottery draw before he made any decision. With so many reputation points, he wanted to spend some of it first, like a tyc.o.o.n would.

He began his lottery draw.

His mind kept sweeping through the thought of his reputation points as he clicked on the lottery draw screen. He bought a chance for the spin at 100,000 reputation points, then clicked on the additional stakes and added 19 to it, spending a total of 2 million reputation points.

The wheel started spinning!

The needle quickly pa.s.sed through the different areas of rewards!

After about ten seconds, it slowed down, nearly to a stop!

Consumption Category…

Stats Category…

Finally, it went back to the Consumption Category and stopped there!

Zhang Ye was just trying his luck in the first round and did not care too much about what items he got. He just wanted something good. He was looking forward to it quite a lot as he brought up his inventory to retrieve the 20 Treasure Chests (Small) and open them. With a flash of brightness, the treasure chests opened to reveal a green liquid, containing a test tube and a seal with a wooden cork. The inside glowed with a mysterious aura.

[Strength Potion (Small)] x 20: Effective immediately after consumption. Increases physical strength.

Since strength was something that could recover or lost, this potion did not have any time constraints but was instead considered a one-time usage consumption item.

20 bottles?

It felt like just a so-so item.

Zhang Ye lightly shook his head, not fully satisfied with what he received. But he wasn't too disappointed either. After thinking about it a little, he decided to go for another draw, but this time with a little twist. Naturally, he opened up the merchant shop to use his trump card.

[Lucky Halo].

Activate!

A dazzling white ring of light appeared over his head suddenly, emitting a mysterious and radiant glow.

Reputation points -10,000!

Reputation points -10,000!

Every second used up 10,000 reputation points. It was a very extravagant item!

It was good that Zhang Ye was ”rich” at the moment. As such he wasn't too bothered by it. He immediately went back to the lottery draw screen and bought a chance at the draw, similarly adding 19 additional stakes like the first time!

The lottery draw began!

The needle spun!

1 revolution…5 revolutions…10 revolutions…

Because of the Lucky Halo's effect, Zhang Ye had some expectations for this round of the lottery  draw. He was hoping to get something from the Special Category, something that he could purchase from the Merchant Shop. No matter how good an item was, it was much harder to get again after the first time. If it was limited by that, then of course it couldn't compare to those that he could easily get from the Merchant Shop. Those were the items that he would never mind having an unlimited supply of!

Special Category!

Special Category!

He kept wis.h.i.+ng for it, hoping that the Lucky Halo would make his wish come true!

The needle was almost coming to a stop as it got closer and closer to the smallest area of the Special Category!

But when it had just moved into the Special Category area, the needle seemingly gained that last bit of strength! It moved a little more and ended up in the Stats Category area!

20 Treasure Chests (Small) appeared.

[Fruit of Agility] x 20: Takes effect after consumption, increase agility of user.

Zhang Ye immediately switched off the usage of the Lucky Halo and sighed. This time, it didn't seem like the Lucky Halo helped him much. At the key moment, it couldn't fulfill it's purpose. Thinking about it, and according to his past experiences, the Lucky Bread should be a similar item to the Lucky Halo, except that it was a consumable item while the latter could be used as long as Zhang Ye had reputation points. There was a fluctuation in the effectiveness of the luck of both items as there was a limit to how much good luck it could give to its user. For example, when he used it alongside the Difficulty Adjustment Die, if the Lucky Halo had given him maximum luck, he would probably have rolled a ten times reduced difficulty effect rather than just five times reduced difficulty. So from this round of lottery draw, the limits of the Lucky Halo could be seen and it couldn't possibly always be so effective and fulfill its promise with every use.

And so, the unsatisfactory outcome of the lottery draws this time might be down to this factor. There were only those few factors which could affect it. From the looks of the system update message, it seemed like there was also an upgraded version of the lottery draw system. Did this mean that he had no choice but to spend 200 million to receive the delivery of the system update?

To receive the update or not?

Should he do it or not?

Zhang Ye was now faced with a conundrum that all women faced when they discovered that they were pregnant!
