Chapter 10

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Our fellow’s talent is obvious to all—let’s stop flattery. Anyone want to be the first to try the lottery?”

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “The first draw might come with a boost of fortune, Itachi know?”

Luo Qianqiu had no interest in being first; as group owner, she enjoyed various invisible privileges within the chat group.

For instance, lottery draws came with built-in luck enhancement.

Star Sea Traveler: “Then it’s definitely me—I’ll demonstrate the proper way to open a box, as the traveler who’s opened every corner of Teyvat!”

Huashan Sect Leader: “One flower, one world; three thousand worlds are infinite. In such a case, how could one possibly draw something valuable?”

Ning Qingyu, steady and mature, had ascended to a higher mental state after witnessing the grim future of Huashan Sect—his demeanor was now utterly calm.

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Items from other worlds should hold considerable research value.”

Hermes, with calm eyes, had been greatly inspired by a single Devil Fruit—he eagerly anticipated the sparks of inspiration from diverse things across countless worlds.

Meanwhile, on the continent of Teyvat, the Traveler Kage was grimacing at the sweet flower-brewed chicken in her hand.

She glanced again at the chat group’s annotation.

[Teyvat Traveler—Kage, and her best companion Paimon’s breakfast one day; this sweet flower-brewed chicken bears bite marks from both Kage and Paimon.]

[Annotation: One day, after Kage and Paimon each took a bite, the chicken vanished before their eyes—how it disappeared remains an unsolved mystery.]

[Annotation: As a testament to the friendship between Traveler Kage and her best companion, this chicken holds immense commemorative value!]

Commemorative value, my god!

If she wanted, she could get a brand-new commemorative chicken every single day—and it’d be freshly cooked!

And this?

So that’s why the chicken vanished out of thin air back then?

It was pulled out by my own lottery draw now?

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “@Star Sea Traveler, @Huashan Sect Leader, @Most Evil Criminal Ever, didn’t Itachi all draw already?”

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Post your screenshots!”

Paper Angel: “I have a bad feeling.”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “I think Itachi’re right.”

Otherwise, Kage would’ve popped up immediately to prove her European luck.

Huashan Sect Leader: “I can’t even describe the value of this thing—just look for yourselves.”

Huashan Sect Leader: “Image.jpg”

[Martial Art: Biexie Sword Manual]

[With a light tap, Itachi’ll experience the bliss of painless chicken-cutting and the exhilaration of mastering superior martial arts—enter the basics in a day, reach mastery in a month, and by year’s end, Itachi’ll become the top expert in your world.]

Huashan Sect Leader: “Is Huashan Sect really destined to be tied to this manual?!”

Even a plain Golden Bell Shield or Iron Shirt technique would’ve been acceptable—why did I draw this from across countless worlds?

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Pfft hahaha! Huashan Sect Leader and the Biexie Sword Manual? What an unexpectedly perfect match!”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Though surprising, this proves Huashan Sect’s fated entanglement with the Biexie Sword Manual.”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Still, this manual supposedly contains profound principles of heavenly-human transformation—just studying it should still hold great value.”

Huashan Sect Leader: “...That makes sense, but I’ll still lock it deep in the warehouse. For the next few years, I don’t want to see it again.”

Champion of the Gods: “I wonder how effective this martial art manual would be in my world? Hmm? I recall some Pokémon are genderless?”

Sheena, reading the Biexie Sword Manual’s description, had a sudden flash of insight.

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Kage, Dragon, what about Itachi two? Any rewards?”

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Though Ning’s draw was odd, its value isn’t actually low.”

Huashan Sect Leader: “I hate to admit it, but I’d rather have drawn the Taizu Long Fist than this.”

Star Sea Traveler: “Hmm... this is hard to say...”

Most Evil Criminal Ever: “...”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Itachi’re hesitating? Itachi think your draws could rival the Biexie Sword Manual?”

Divine Chef: “This is truly intriguing.”

Huashan Sect Leader: “@Star Sea Traveler, @Most Evil Criminal Ever, I’ve already shown my Biexie Sword Manual—don’t tell me Itachi’re too scared to post yours?”

Most Evil Criminal Ever: “Well... not that scared.”

Most Evil Criminal Ever: “Image.jpg”

[Item: Devil Fruit—Animal Type—Teddy Form]

[Annotation: A classic Animal-type Devil Fruit. With proper training, Itachi can easily become a captain in the Marine Headquarters—but can Itachi endure the occasional surging 【day】 urges?]

No one knew how twisted the tattoos on Dragon’s face had become after drawing this.

If his revolutionary members ate this, wouldn’t the entire revolution become famous worldwide in another sense?

Hermes, seeing Dragon’s posted image, fell silent.

Why did he feel the entire chat group’s tone had gone completely off-kilter?

This wasn’t over.

Soon, Kage posted another image.

[Sweet Flower-Brewed Chicken]

So Itachi can actually steal things from your past self?

Still, to some extent, as a Traveler, Kage’s friendship with the mysterious Paimon was indeed valuable.

In certain worlds obsessed with mysticism, this might even become a priceless treasure?

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “...Could today’s lottery timing be off?”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “...”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Lottery is just about luck—why would time matter?”

Cross-Verse Big Female Lead: “Then let’s all draw together?”

Wisdom of the Pioneer: “Let’s all draw. Lottery is pure probability—since three of us already hit the bottom, logically our odds of drawing something good should be higher now.”

Star Sea Traveler: “...”

Most Evil Criminal Ever: “...”

Huashan Sect Leader: “...”

Is probability calculated like this?

Logically, in an infinite prize pool, drawing three non-Europeans won’t raise your chance of getting something good by even one percent!

Hermes opened the lottery function and clicked without hesitation.

Though he’d never studied luck, his past experience suggested his fortune was above average.

“Ding! Congratulations! Itachi’ve obtained a Digimon Egg—Blackballmon.”

“Hmm?”

Seeing what he’d drawn, Hermes’s eyes instantly lit up.

Just looking at the egg seemed to trigger a flood of inspirations.
