Returning to his room, Chen Mo instructed Sha Luo not to disturb him unless it was important.
He then sat cross-legged on his bed.
The seven-colored little snake slithered out from Chen Mo's sleeve, looking pitiful.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're useful to me, I would have returned you long ago."
Seeing that the little snake wouldn't eat unless it was a Fire Lotus Seed, wouldn't take pills below the third rank, and wouldn't drink anything but dew, Chen Mo cursed it under his breath. Still, he took out a Fire Lotus Seed and fed it to the snake.
After eating the Fire Lotus Seed, the little snake was content and curled up in the bedding, falling asleep again.
"Lazy little thing," Chen Mo muttered, rolling his eyes at the snake before opening his system interface.
There weren't many changes.
His Fortune Points were still at 6460.
However, the number of Fire Lotus Seeds he had stored in the system had decreased to seven.
Originally, he had eleven, but four had been eaten by the little snake.
Chen Mo then clicked to open the King's Chest.
As the music played and a flash of golden light passed, an oval, multi-colored egg appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Mystic Egg.]
Chen Mo opened the Mystic Egg's description:
[This egg has the potential to birth anything across the myriad realms. Incubation period: 45 days. Once the egg hatches, it could randomly produce an ancient ferocious beast, divine weapons, supreme Dharma bodies, celestial fairies…]
[To establish a bond between the host and the Mystic Egg, the host should nourish it with a small amount of blood daily before it hatches.]
After reading the description, Chen Mo was stunned.
If this egg ends up producing a treasure chest…
Wouldn't that be an endless loop?
Egg hatches a chest, the chest reveals an egg... and it has a 45-day incubation period.
Isn't that just a bit too frustrating?
He tossed the Mystic Egg into his inventory for the time being, not wanting to deal with it.
A good day begins with a lottery draw.
"Let's start with ten Silver Chests for fun."
[Thank you for your support.]
[Thank you for your support.]
[Thank you for your support.]
[…]
After ten consecutive "thank you for your support" messages, Chen Mo's mood was shattered.
"You cursed system, if I draw again, I'll jump out of this inn."
[Thank you for your support.]
"Damn it!"
The next moment, sounds of things being smashed echoed from his room.
He decided to give it one more try and then use the remaining points to buy a Breaking Calamity Pill and a Spirit Restoration Pill.
[Thank you for your support.]
Chen Mo's face turned black.
If the system had a physical form, Chen Mo would definitely have beaten it to a pulp.
The lottery is a test of one's patience. If you don't have money, it's one thing. But if you see that your account balance is still high, you'll keep drawing, thinking the next one will be the big win. The more you don't win, the more you want to try again, until your balance is depleted.
Then, you'll feel like you want to die.
For a short while, you'll lose your appetite and not feel like doing anything.
You'll keep thinking, "Why did I have to be so impulsive? I could have bought a few skins instead."
That's exactly how Chen Mo felt at this moment, a bit out of control.
"I'll draw one more time, and if I don't win, I'm done."
"Draw."
[Thank you for your support.]
"Again."
[Thank you for your support.]
"I don't believe this. Keep giving me 'thank you for your support' if you dare."
[Thank you for your support.]
"Continue."
[Healing Talisman x1.]
"Finally, something! Let's go again."
[Thank you for your support.]
…
He kept drawing until he was left with only 2160 Fortune Points.
Apart from the single Healing Talisman, everything else was "thank you for your support."
The win rate for Silver Chests is way too low.
Even if you beat Chen Mo to death, he wouldn't draw from a Silver Chest again.
With the remaining Fortune Points, he couldn't buy anything substantial or do anything significant.
"Draw."
Chen Mo clicked on a Gold Chest.
Maybe his bad luck had all been used up.
On his first Gold Chest, he struck gold.
[Ding! You have obtained the Dharma Body: Hell Tower, Volume 1.]
Seeing that he had finally gotten something, Chen Mo quickly checked the system's store under the Dharma Body section. The Hell Tower was listed among the top, with three volumes in total, each costing hundreds of thousands of Fortune Points.
With a thought, Chen Mo opened the first volume of the Hell Tower. It was filled with Sanskrit text, but thankfully, the system had a hidden language translation feature that allowed Chen Mo to understand the gist.
The Hell Tower refers to a form of Buddha.
When cultivated to its peak, it will manifest a Dharma body of a Buddha overseeing the Hell Realm, towering hundreds of feet tall.
As the Dharma body moves, hell follows, subjugating spirits.
It has a strong suppressive effect on ghosts and spiritual entities.
This prize was truly a jackpot.
With only 1160 Fortune Points left, Chen Mo decided to save them rather than draw again.
…
For the rest of the day, aside from eating, drinking, and other necessities, Chen Mo did not leave his room.
On the second day, Chen Mo broke through to a three-star Master.
On the third day, he began to grasp the Extreme Flame Art.
On the fourth day, he achieved minor success in the Extreme Flame Art.
On the fifth day, two more particles awakened within him, bringing the first stage of the Divine Elephant Suppression Technique to completion.
On the sixth day, after consuming an Advancement Pill, Chen Mo advanced to a five-star Master.
On the seventh day, he took a break, working to strengthen his relationships with Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, improving their affection for him.
On the eighth day, he secluded himself to cultivate the second stage of the Divine Elephant Suppression Technique and the Devil's Wings technique from the Essence of Flight.
On the ninth day, he continued his seclusion.
On the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth days, he remained in seclusion.
On the thirteenth day, Chen Mo finally succeeded in mastering the Devil's Wings, and during this period, another particle awakened within him.
On the fourteenth day, he consolidated his mastery of the Devil's Wings.
On the fifteenth day, a festival similar to the Qixi Festival in Dou Qi Continent arrived, and Chen Mo took the time to go on separate dates with the two women.
On the sixteenth day, when they were alone, Yun Yun no longer resisted when Chen Mo held her.
On the twenty-first day, when they were alone, Chen Mo was able to kiss Yun Yun's lips freely.
On the twenty-eighth day, after many days of contemplation, Chen Mo finally began to understand the Hell Tower Dharma body.
On the thirty-fifth day, Chen Mo woke up to find his hand grasping something soft, and his right arm, which usually felt empty, was now filled with a soft, warm sensation.
Chen Mo's eyes snapped open, and what he saw made him gasp.
It was a nearly naked figure lying beside him, almost pressed against him.
His gaze moved upward.
As he looked at that breathtakingly beautiful face, Chen Mo sucked in a sharp breath.
"Queen Medusa!"
In the next moment...
