Chapter 188 [Bonus Chapter for Gifts] System: You think I'm useless? Here comes the boomerang!
Perhaps after such a long time, there is finally an opportunity to harvest the leeks... oops, I mean, to serve the host.
The moment Riley clicked on the lottery function, before he could even change his mind, a massive amount of information automatically flooded into his brain.
In the blink of an eye, Riley had roughly figured out the mechanism of the lottery function after being fed this information.
Each time a lottery is held, a random item reward is drawn from the prize pool, while also accumulating a bit of "luck value" for Riley.
The higher your luck stat, the more likely you are to draw something good.
When the maximum of 100 points is reached, a high-level item will be randomly drawn from the high-level prize pool, which has a minimum value of 5,000 points and no upper limit, and given to Riley.
Of course, if Riley's luck is really bad and he only gets a 5,000-point item even if his luck stat reaches 100 points, then there's no need to worry.
Because the lottery feature records the results of this lottery and continues to accumulate lucky points for Riley.
Once Riley accumulates 100 luck points for the second time, the ultimate prize pool will be triggered. One item will be randomly selected from a vast collection of items with a minimum value of 10,000 points and no upper limit, and will be awarded to Riley.
Of course, if Riley draws an item worth at least 5,000 points before accumulating 100 luck points, all accumulated luck points will be cleared, and she'll have to start over. The prize pool for this round of draws will be determined by the value of the item Riley draws—whether it starts at 5,000 or 10,000 points—whether it's a high-level prize pool or the ultimate prize pool.
Does that sound a bit complicated?
But as Riley's lips twitched, he immediately understood the essence of this lottery system based on that sense of familiarity.
Isn't this just the evil miHoYo's guaranteed payout mechanism?
They are even more unethical and heartless than miHoYo!
Aside from the guaranteed pity system, there's no consolation prize of getting a purple item every time you do a 10-pull!
Each draw requires 100 points.
In short, considering Riley's extremely unlucky nature...
It would probably take 20,000 points to exchange for item rewards worth 15,000 points! Not counting the small, filler item rewards drawn during the process, it's a total loss of 5,000 points!
Even after a rough calculation, Riley, who still had over 400,000 points left after improving his agility, couldn't help but shake his head.
Just kidding! Do you really think I'm rich and can just throw around like that?
This was something Riley risked his life to fight through so many dungeons, one of which was even a multiverse-level event, to finally accumulate!
Therefore, it has been confirmed more than once that even if one is reincarnated, one's unlucky and unfortunate constitution will not improve in the slightest...
Why waste these precious points on a lottery that's clearly a losing proposition?
Why not use that money to increase your own strength stats and go all the way down the path of being a stat monster!
If all else fails, increase your strength, or save up a bit more, be patient, and wait until you have a million points to buy that phone from the store...
This kind of steady improvement in strength is much better than winning the lottery!
Even if I, Riley Parker, were to die today—outside, beaten to death by some supervillain—I would never touch this shady lottery feature!
Just as Riley was secretly making a solemn vow and preparing to close the lottery interface,
It's unclear whether the system sensed Riley's change in mindset, or if it was afraid that the seemingly fragile "leeks" (a metaphor for easily exploited individuals) would revert to their old, stingy self, clinging to their points and never squandering them.
After a burst of dazzling light, a pop-up window quickly appeared on the lottery interface in front of me.
System notification: This is the first time the host has participated in the lottery. As a special newbie bonus, the points required for 100 consecutive draws are halved!
System notification: Please note that the halved points cost for 100 consecutive draws only lasts for 24 hours. After this time, the original price will be restored. Please make a decision as soon as possible.
"Tch, now you realize how greedy you are and remember to lower the price? Too late! A mere five thousand points, and you think you can lure me into this trap? No way…!"
Of course, this level of discount held no appeal for Riley, who had already seen through the shady nature of the lottery feature. With a disdainful sneer, he closed the pop-up and planned to exit the lottery feature again, intending to completely ignore it and never click on it again.
But the next second, realizing that it wouldn't be able to lure Riley in without offering some incentives, the system quickly adjusted the prize pool's display. What was initially pitch black, making it impossible to see what was inside, quickly revealed the true forms of these items.
Riley, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, immediately widened his eyes and almost popped them out after glancing at it subconsciously!
Riley could ignore all the other miscellaneous props...
But Riley couldn't take his eyes off that golden, glittering stick that looked like it had a pay-to-win effect!
Item Name: Ruyi Jingu Bang (Imitation)
Effect: A prop replicated one-to-one from the iconic weapon of the Monkey King. Not only does it possess the same ability to freely change size, but the user can also transform into a chosen one and gain a portion of the Monkey King's power by using a trace of divine power stored within the prop.
Okay, okay, is this how you play it?
Even if it's clearly written out, this is just a counterfeit...
But which Chinese person could resist the temptation of becoming the Monkey King?!
Even now, with the twelve charms in hand, Riley can fly and dive deep, making him comparable to Superman, but he still can't resist the allure of the Golden Cudgel!
You use this to test your cadres?!
I won't say anything more...
Shut up! And take my money—!!!
And so, even though he only saw a replica, Riley couldn't help but get instantly excited. In the end, he broke his previous vow and couldn't escape the punishment of the "it's actually so good" law, pressing the lottery button!
As points rapidly dwindled, Riley quickly spent five thousand points, exchanging them for a large number of miscellaneous and inexpensive gadgets.
And as expected, the minimum reward was wrong; I received a random skill book worth exactly 5,000 points.
So much so that after the initial impulse subsided, Riley fell into deep thought once again as he gazed at the random skill book that had appeared in his storage space.
Clearly, with Riley's luck, even if he spent all of his remaining 400,000 points, he still wouldn't be able to accurately extract the Ruyi Jingu Bang from the countless items available!
If Riley stopped there, he would have essentially used 5,000 points to exchange for a random skill book and also gotten a bunch of free items. It could be said that he not only didn't lose money, but actually made a small profit.
Therefore, despite the great allure of the Golden Cudgel, Riley prioritized the bigger picture, reluctantly suppressing the urge to continue the lottery, and prepared to close the lottery interface once again.
But the next second, in order to encourage Riley to continue spending points, the system not only popped up a window asking Riley if he really wanted to give up on continuing the lottery, but also showed Riley several items stored in the final prize pool at the top of the pop-up window.
The belt of the Emperor's Armor.
The phone in the Shura Armor.
Huo Linfei's superpower lock.
Ultraman Tiga's Spark Lens.
EVA Unit-01.
Strike Freedom Gundam.
The Crimson Storm Mech from the Rim of the Pacific.
The magenta belt of Kamen Rider DECADE.
Grandpa Rick's teleportation gun.
There's even the Hulkbuster armor that Tony Stark himself hasn't had time to build yet. And the matching Veronica, who is indestructible and has an unlimited supply of spare parts!
So much so that looking at these dazzling array of luxurious prizes, any one of which, taken out individually, would be enough to make a large number of boys stop and admire them.
Riley's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead, engaging in a fierce internal struggle.
Then……!
