Chapter 105
Zixu had never slept so well before. It felt as if he were floating on soft white clouds or drifting through an endless sea of void. In short, this was the best rest he'd ever had.
"Ha~ Yawn~ Damn, that was refreshing. Nothing beats getting rid of burdens. System! Tell me my current points, loud and clear!"
Now that his debts were cleared, Zixu felt like a king. His back straightened, his chest puffed out, and he carried himself like a true emperor—or at least, that's how he saw it.
"24000 points"
"What about the lottery draws I saved from my previous missions? Don't try to scam me!" Zixu narrowed his eyes, already on guard. This damn system always played word games with him. If he didn't ask directly, it sometimes just kept things to itself. He had long since learned to be suspicious.
"506 draws"
"Good. Use them all! If I don't get anything worthwhile after 500 draws, I swear I'll tear you apart." Zixu boasted, knowing full well he couldn't actually do anything to the system. Still, he firmly believed that cursing at it might boost his drop rate.
It had been so long since he last drew from the lottery that he had almost forgotten what it felt like. Even after the system's so-called "integration upgrade," the chances of winning anything good seemed to have barely improved.
"Did they tweak the rates from 0.001 to 0.002? What a joke..."
He started contemplating his luck—or rather, his absolute lack of it. Was it possible that he was just naturally cursed when it came to these draws?
"No, maybe the real problem is me. Maybe my bad luck is screwing me over. I still have six single draws left. Should I try using them differently?"
