Mysterious Blank Space

Zhou Lei opened up the lottery.

He was greeted by the sight of the familiar roulette, one that he hasn't seen for a long time... Well, for two days.

He had an urge to try his newfound luck. Ever since he had increased his luck stat, he never had the chance to spin the roulette.

"Here we go...!" Having said that, the roulette started spinning as a lottery ticket disappeared.

"Come on, come on!" Zhou Lei was anticipating the result of this spin.

The roulette gradually slowed down and was close to stopping. The needle was in the middle of the two sections, the Useless category and the One-Time use category.

Every time he opened the roulette, the arrangement of the sections was random, so he did not anticipate that the two biggest sections would be placed next to each other.

The roulette was barely moving.

The needle was close to pointing to the Useless category.

"Come on...!" Zhou Lei was getting anxious.

'Why is my luck still bad? Is it because the luck stat does not affect System's lottery?'

The roulette finally stopped.

It was pointing towards the One-Time Use category.

"Wait, I just noticed something. If there is a book item category, how come I won the Master Chef Book from the One-Time use?" Zhou Lei widened his eyes in disbelief.

So does that essentially mean that I can get books from either one of those sections? That makes it much easier!

Zhou Lei's assumption made him confident. What book will he be getting next time?

Of course, Zhou Lei getting the Master Chef Book instead of an item was System's bug, and not the blunder of the author in any way.

The author had obviously not forgotten that there was a Book category on the roulette... Ahem, let's not talk about this matter!

He looked at his prize. It was... the "Dance Dance Revolution Sudden Burst" item.

"..." Zhou Lei.

"What the heck? Is this the Useless item category? This is more useless than Bubblegum!" Zhou Lei was indignant at the result.

"No one plays Dance Dance Revolution anymore!" Zhou Lei said something that a man should not say in his whole life, else he might offend a bunch of people.

He spent a lottery ticket again in hopes of getting something better.

This time, the roulette stopped while the needle was in the Book section.

"Ooh, a book! Never hurts to learn a few more skills...!" Zhou Lei was enthusiastic as he received the prize.

The book was titled "How to Dance - Become a World Class Dancer! By: System".

"...I guess it isn't bad." Zhou Lei was kind of disappointed, but he accepted it since it wasn't as useless as the previous item that he got.

He spent a lottery ticket again, hoping that this time, he would get something useful.

"Come on... Wait, what's that?" Zhou Lei saw that a portion of the roulette was unfamiliar.

The 5 sections were still there, just that another one had been added. It was of a beige color, with no label on, unlike the other ones.

"Is this a randomly generated occurrence?" Zhou Lei wondered what the space was for.

Nonetheless, his luck wasn't good, so he did not get that space. The needle pointed towards another section, the Yummy Fruits section.

"Wow, it's like the roulette is deliberately picking another section each time!" Zhou Lei came to a realization.

Of course! It won't pick the same category each attempt this time since the author is showcasing the different sections!

In that case...

"I should get Shop unlock next!" Zhou Lei said with anticipation.

He received the prize from Yummy Fruits.

It was an exotic looking fruit. The ends were connected, resulting in a donut-like shape. The greenish color and the spikes on the surface reminded him of durians.

"Eh? What does this do?" Zhou Lei asked System.

"It is a Yummy Fruit called Poncham," System answered.

"Poncham? What does it do for me?"

"It is a Yummy Fruit." System said in a 'what did you expect' tone on its voice.

"..." Zhou Lei.

"Uhhh... At least I get a Shop unlock next!" Zhou Lei tried to cheer himself up.

He spent a lottery ticket again and waited for the result.

However, he was confident that it was going to be a Shop unlock, otherwise, it would be the Useless category.

To his surprise, neither got chosen. Instead, the One-Time Use section was pointed at.

"Eh?" Zhou Lei was quite disappointed. He thought that he would get a Shop Unlock this time.

He received the prize unenthusiastically.

Of course, what he won was the "Piggy Crate" item.

"Oh, what's this?" Zhou Lei retrieved the Piggy Crate from his inventory. It landed on his hands.

The Piggy Crate was like a Piggy Bank, only that there was no hole on the former.

"Hmm, how do I open this?" Zhou Lei looked at the item in his hands as he examined every nook and cranny of it in hopes of opening it.

He shook the Piggy Crate, and the sound of rustling paper followed.

"What? Paper?... Piggy Crate... paper... money!" Zhou Lei's eyes lit up.
