2 Chapter 2: Drawing Lotteries From System!
.....
Ling Yuyan went back to the maid's bedroom alone with her soaked body trembling in the cold.
Each male servant's bedroom or female maid's bedroom was occupied by at least ten servants or ten maids, but all of them were busily working right now and would only come back at night.
Ling Yuyan quickly changed her drenched maid clothes, but her body still felt very weak and ill.
After glancing at her surroundings carefully and making sure that she was really alone, Ling Yuyan spat out the shiny object she got from the bottom of the cold pool.
"ACHOOO~! ACHOOO~! Cough, cough, cough... Urgh, this is bad... It seems I have really caught a cold and even have a fever now." Ling Yuyan murmured as she lay down weakly on her bed.
But then she excitedly stared at the shiny stone in her hand while thinking: 'Woah~! So, this is the Spatial Stone~!'
Ling Yuyan hesitated for a few moments, but she still bit her finger and smeared her blood on the Spatial Stone.
WEEEENGGG~!
Ling Yuyan suddenly could access the space inside the Spatial Stone with her mind.
The space inside the Spatial Stone was not that big. It was probably only a bit bigger than her cupboard in her previous world.
However, it was stuffed full of so many things such as many different kinds of pills, books, jade slips, food, male clothes, some weapons, and other miscellaneous things.
Ling Yuyan decided to look at the pills section first to see if there was some medicine to cure her cold and fever.
There were so many different kinds of pills such as Healing Pills, Blood Clotting Pills, Detoxification Pills, Blood and Qi Pills, and so on.
Just watching them made Ling Yuyan's dizzy head become even more dizzier.
Ling Yuyan took out the pill bottle with the label of 'Healing Pills' and swallowed one of Healing Pills in one gulp.
Normally, she would be much more careful than this and test the effect of the pill first on the beast such as a chicken or pig. Who knows if these pills had already expired after being stored for so long in the Spatial Stone, right?
Unfortunately, her current dire condition did not allow her to do so.
Ling Yuyan's current situation was pretty bad, and she already felt extremely sleepy.
Moreover, she was only a lowly little maid right now, so no one would probably care enough to take care of her or give her any medicine when she was sick.
Ling Yuyan could only take a gamble by swallowing this random Healing Pill and hoping that it would really cure her illness.
Anyway, there was nothing happened to the heroine, Wang Meng Yuan, after she consumed any of these pills in the book, so Ling Yuyan was quite sure that these pills should be safe to consume.
The effect of the Healing Pill worked almost immediately.
Ling Yuyan felt the pill efficacy burst in her body as it nourished her weak malnutrition body and slowly cured all of her illnesses.
Ling Yuyan unconsciously moaned in comfort.
It felt like taking a hot bath in the middle of the coldest winter.
After Ling Yuyan felt much more energetic and comfortable, she impatiently decided to check her system.
'System, Hello~? Open Sesame? Err... Hocus Pocus, Simsalabim, Abrakadabra? Hey, anyone there~! Please answer me~! Expecto Patronum? Wingardium Leviosa? Expelliarmus?' Ling Yuyan closed her eyes and chattered non-stop in her mind to communicate with her newly awakened system.
After a few minutes of experimenting, Ling Yuyan finally realized that she could easily open her newly awakened system with a single thought.
*Ding~!
----------------------------------
[Name: Ling Yuyan]
[Lifespan: 16/52]
[Martial Realm: None]
[Talent: None]
[Internal Technique: None]
[External Technique: None]
[Martial Art: None]
[Spell: None]
[Innate Skill: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Plundering Point: 300]
----------------------------------
Ling Yuyan's lips twitched slightly as she complained: "Well, that is really a long panel list! But why do I feel very insulted by it!"
"By the way, what is the function of this Plundering Point?" Ling Yuyan tried to ask in curiosity.
[Plundering Point can be used to buy lottery chances.]
[Bronze-Grade Lottery needs 10 Plundering Points, Silver-Grade Lottery needs 100 Plundering Points, and Golden-Grade Lottery needs 1,000 Plundering Points.]
[There is 10% chance to get one level higher prize and 1% chance to get two levels higher prize.]
"I see... So, I have some chance to obtain higher prizes. Something like Bronze-Grade Lottery has 10% chance to get a Silver-Grade prize and 1% chance to get a Golden-Grade prize, right?" Ling Yuyan inquired to her System while nodding in understanding.
*Ding~!
[You still have three Golden-tier Lottery Chances. Do you want to use it now? Yes/No]
"Oh? That is right! I really almost forgot about this. Is there any need to ask? Of course, Yes~!" Ling Yuyan excitedly muttered as she urged her mind to choose 'Yes'.
[The golden wheel of fate has begun to spin!]
Ling Yuyan suddenly saw a huge golden wheel spinning faster and faster in front of her vision.
Ling Yuyan instantly became tense and nervous since the result of these three lotteries might determine her future plans.
When the arrow on the wheel landed on the silver-colored prize, Ling Yuyan was extremely disappointed since she thought she only got a Silver Grade prize, but she was actually wrong...
[Congratulation! You have got [Platinum-Grade Treasure: Shadow Empress Ring] x1 from the Golden-tier Lottery Chances!]
"Wh... What~?! Pl... Plat... Platinum Grade Treasure?! Doesn't it mean this prize is of a higher grade than gold?!" Ling Yuyan murmured in astonishment and disbelief.
Ling Yuyan jumped from her bed and put on a victory pose in overwhelming happiness.
Ling Yuyan impatiently rubbed her hands and giggled: "All right~! That is a really good start! Let's begin the second lottery~!"
Unfortunately, Ling Yuyan's luck seemed to run out, and she only got an ordinary Gold-Grade Prize this time.
[Congratulation! You have got [Gold-Grade Treasure: Profound Disc of Dual Realities] x1 from the Golden-tier Lottery Chances!]
Ling Yuyan shook her head and sighed in disappointment.
Even though she already knew that it was impossible for her to always be lucky at all times, but she still could not help but feel a little bit disappointed.
"For the last lottery, Please Goddess of Fortune give me the best prize~! Let's go~!" Ling Yuyan triggered her last lottery chance with an extremely nervous and tense mood.
This time, the arrow on the wheel was slowing down between the gold prize and the most dazzling prize, Ling Yuyan's heart almost stopped beating as she held her breath in agitation.
[Congratulation! You have got [Diamond-Grade Hero Summoning Order] x1 from the Golden-tier Lottery Chances!]
Ling Yuyan took a deep breath, and it took a while for her to calm down her tense and nervous mood before it was replaced by extreme joy.
"Dia... Diamond Grade~! Woooaaah~! Only 1% chance~! But I actually managed to win it! Hehehehe... Thank you very much, Goddess of Fortune~! I love you very much too~!" Ling Yuyan exclaimed with a silly expression while giggling in delight and contentment.
Luckily, there were no other people in the maid's bedroom right now, or they might think she had already gone insane.
Ling Yuyan carefully took the three prizes she got from her previous Golden-Grade Lotteries and checked their effects one by one.
------------------------------------------
[Shadow Empress Ring (Platinum-Grade Quality)]
[Description: The Shadow Empress's lost artifact after her death.]
[Effect 1: It can be used as a spatial treasure to store any items.]
[Effect 2: Increased the cultivation speed of the Darkness attribute cultivation technique by 150%.]
[Effect 3: Increased the effect and power of all Darkness attribute martial arts, spells, and skills by 100%.]
[Effect 4: Shadow Protection: Block any fatal attack to the wearer once/day.]
[Effect 5: Shadow Summon: Consume the user's energy to permanently summon a Shadow Guard. (Five Shadow Guards of the same tier can be merged to form a higher-tier Shadow Guard.)]
------------------------------------------
[Profound Disc of Dual Realities (Golden-Grade Quality)]
[Description: An Innate Treasure which is naturally created in the rift between dream and reality.]
[Effect 1: Dream Space: The owner can leave your consciousness in the Dream Space and everything the owner does in Dream Space will affect the real you in reality.]
[Effect 2: Dream Cover: Protect the owner from being seen through by anyone with investigation or probing abilities.]
------------------------------------------
[Diamond-Grade Hero Summoning Order]
[Description: An ancient contract that can be used to summon the most loyal Diamond-Grade hero to work as your subordinate.]
------------------------------------------
Ling Yuyan was very grateful to her System since it gave the complete description and effects of all the items she obtained from the lotteries.
If not, she would surely not be able to tell their function at all.
Ling Yuyan held the old black ring called [Shadow Empress Ring] and muttered in depression: "This ring is surely extremely powerful, but I can only use it as a spatial treasure at this moment. Sigh... But I already have Spatial Stone, so this ring is pretty much useless for the current me."
When Ling Yuyan observed the [Profound Disc of Dual Realities], she became extremely excited.
"With this [Dream Space], does it mean I can use my consciousness to practice anytime anywhere?! This treasure is what I urgently need the most right now~!" Ling Yuyan exclaimed while smiling brightly in joy.
Working as a maid was not easy. She must wake up and work earlier than her master, and she could only sleep later than her master.
With such a busy schedule, how could she have any time to practice and become stronger enough to protect herself?!
Fortunately, Ling Yuyan obtained this [Profound Disc of Dual Realities] to solve her worries right now, so she could do her work as a maid while her consciousness would be practicing in Dream Space!
Ling Yuyan took the last item she got from the Golden-Grade lotteries, [Diamond-Grade Hero Summoning Order].
The [Diamond-Grade Hero Summoning Order] seemed to be made from an unknown crystal, cold to touch, and shining with eye-catching rainbow light.
Anyone who saw it would certainly conclude that it was an extremely precious treasure, so Ling Yuyan had to use it as soon as possible before anyone noticed it.
This was her most precious item so far, and the Diamond-Grade hero summoned using it would be her biggest reliance to survive in this cruel martial world.
Ling Yuyan would certainly have an urge to kill herself if this thing got robbed or stolen by other people.
Ling Yuyan became very nervous again, but she still gritted her teeth and used the [Diamond-Grade Hero Summoning Order] without any hesitation.
