Chapter 30: Lottery? Just Snatch It!

Wu Wang appeared in the familiar settlement space.

He glanced down at his panel, and couldn't help raising an eyebrow in surprise—

【Player Nickname: Wei Wang Ren#9527】

【Player Level: Lv4】

【Assignable Points: 4】

【Strength: 10】

【Constitution: 10】

【Agility: 10】

【Intelligence: 11 (Fixed value, cannot be allocated)】

【Spirit: 40 (You have resisted a certain spiritual contamination for a long time; it is tempering your spirit)】

【Charisma: 5 (Because you became the light in the hearts of all the students in Fight Back to School, out of respect for Tiga, your Charisma value is rising)】

He had actually leveled up four times in a row?

This was probably related to liberating the whole school—it counted as exceeding the mission's requirements.

Although he didn't know how many instances it had taken players like Chen Baili and Tu Tu Xing Sun to reach levels five or six, it certainly wouldn't have been four levels from a single instance like his.

After all, those people clearly had quite a few props and equipment on them—obviously stockpiled from running instance after instance.

"Isn't this Intelligence being non-allocatable a bit too ridiculous?" Wu Wang's mouth twitched as he stared at a certain line of information.

In other words, in the eyes of 【Spirit Disaster Game】, Intelligence was something innate, and you couldn't get smarter just by allocating points to it?

Outraged!

They say you get wiser from every setback.

Yet after taking setback after setback in the instance, coming out they still won't let you get any wiser.

This is discrimination against the dim-witted!

Fortunately, as for his Intelligence portion, even if Farmer Uncle came along he'd have to exclaim this is the bee's knees!

In contrast, Wu Wang wasn't surprised by the rise in Spirit and Charisma.

His initial Spirit had always been high, which should be related to his long-term suicide-and-resurrection cycle.

After all, there probably wasn't a second person in the world who could keep experiencing the fear of death and mental collapse.

Add to that the torment the Abyss God's red vertical pupil inflicted on his mental state—under that repeated grinding, even without allocating points, his Spirit seemed to be steadily improving.

I am the legendary kill-resistant king!

"Since we were little, teachers taught us that morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor must develop in a balanced way."

Wu Wang cheerfully distributed his available points in a 1, 2, 1 ratio among 【Strength】, 【Constitution】, and 【Agility】.

The reason 【Constitution】 got one extra point was simple—when danger struck, having enough stamina to run farther than your teammates was victory!

And honestly, he even hesitated over whether to allocate points to 【Strength】 at all.

Judging by the current situation, it seemed unlikely that instances could be brute-forced open with violence.

The ghosts and monsters inside were outrageously powerful one after another; no matter how much players allocated to 【Strength】, they probably couldn't go head-on against BOSS-level entities.

It seemed just like an escape room.

You use your brain!

So 【Strength】 was actually a not-very-important stat—though of course, it might also be because he'd only gone through one instance and didn't have much experience.

"Let's see what the clear-reward is?"

Wu Wang opened the rest of his panel.

In the backpack...

There didn't seem to be any new equipment.

The skills column...

Was still the same as before.

"Bro, did the system skim my reward? Where's the promised stacked bonus maxed out?" Wu Wang grumbled.

But after a thorough check, he still discovered something that had never appeared before—

【Due to the stacked bonus and hidden bonus, you have obtained two chances to draw from the Legendary Treasury】

【Legendary Treasury: A warehouse where a legendary cross-world omniversal trader struck a deal with Spirit Disaster Game; equipment and props obtained from it are at minimum Epic grade】

【Equipment and Prop Grade Classification: Inferior, Common, Fine, Epic, Legendary, Exclusive】

Good, good, good—turning the reward into a lottery so it's easier to rig behind the scenes, huh.

Wu Wang almost laughed from sheer anger.

He always felt that the Spirit Disaster Game's system seemed to not like him very much.

Lotteries were just too damn mystical.

He'd never even won a "one more bottle" cap from childhood to adulthood; instead he'd opened a few bottles of high-protein drinks with American cockroaches hidden inside.

"Draw, draw, draw—damn it, don't let me find out who designed this game, or I'll draw two slaps on him too." Wu Wang viciously pressed the draw option.

A box engraved with a question mark materialized out of thin air before him, then began to shake.

【Filtering collection for you】

【Congratulations, you have obtained an Epic-grade prop—Pink Herbal Tea (from a certain raising-sim game, Slave Girl Xi-xx)】

【Effect: Using it on the opposite sex greatly increases a certain kind of desire for one month; players with poor stamina are advised to use with caution】

"?"

What the hell did he just pull?

Before he could examine the effect closely, the red vertical pupil on the inside of his wrist suddenly blinked.

Wu Wang instantly went dark before his eyes, his face turning pale as a vast amount of his life force was drained away.

He almost got sucked into a dried husk.

What madness has the Abyssal God unleashed now!?

I have no items or equipment on me for it to tamper with!

The next second, a row of blood-red tentacles inexplicably appeared before the question-mark box used for the lottery.

The tentacles, carrying the 【Pink Floral Tea】, forcefully shoved it back into the box and began to wildly extend and stir, as if searching for something.

The question-mark box began to tremble violently.

It seemed to want to escape, but was tightly bound in place by the surrounding tentacles, unable to move.

"You can do this?" Wu Wang was somewhat stunned.

But can this really be considered a lottery?

Isn't this just plain robbery!?

A few seconds later, the blood-red tentacles dragged out a black-and-white smiling mask from the box.

【Fake Smile Mask (Epic): The wearer can freely alter their own appearance and physical features. Each use consumes 10 points of mental energy; the effect lasts 24 hours.】

【Note: Is everyone not wearing a mask? You think I put on a mask, but in reality, I took one off.】

The instant the equipment fell into Wu Wang's hands, the blood-red tentacles in the dark space, along with the question-mark box, vanished.

For some reason, at the moment of disappearance, Wu Wang even felt a deep resentment coming from the box.

"Unconvinced, are you? If unconvinced, come back!"

Wu Wang grumbled and pressed the lottery option again; he still had two chances to draw!

The next second, the question-mark box appeared once more.

The familiar process started again.

The red vertical pupil blinked; Wu Wang was sucked in, grew large, even died and resurrected once, and the blood-red tentacles appeared, tightly coiling around the poor question-mark box.

Its trembling this time was even more violent than before; it probably hadn't expected to return.

Don't you dare come over here!

Gulu-gulu—

The tentacles stuffed it full again.

This time, what was dragged out was a scroll.

【Cloud-Soaring Step (Epic, Evolvable): After use, this skill is learned. When leaving the ground, one only needs to perform a jumping motion in the air to complete a double jump (effects can stack); each jump consumes a certain amount of stamina.】

【Note: Who says stepping on the right foot with the left foot cannot reach the sky?】

"OK, I forgive you; it seems my life wasn't fed to you in vain," Wu Wang said with a gratified smile.

Although it didn't actually eat anything, of course.

The red vertical pupil of the Abyssal God is certainly not something good at its core, but at least here, it did do something proper.

If the Abyssal God mark on his wrist hadn't consumed the red vertical pupil on the door during this instance, entering that broadcast room would have been quite difficult for him.

Oh, that doesn't seem right!

Damn it, the instance required entering the broadcast room precisely because this bastard twisted the mission for me!

Wu Wang suddenly realized that the source of the problem seemed to be this thing on his wrist.

He grumbled, "You didn't hear just now, did you? Then I withdraw one forgiveness."

Having said that, he crushed the scroll.

A sharp glint flashed in Wu Wang's eyes.

【Learned: Cloud-Soaring Step (Epic, Evolvable)】

A common piece of equipment could make players fight over it; a fine piece of equipment was enough to drive many players to risk their lives in reality, trampling laws to kill and rob; an Epic-grade piece of equipment could even cause a certain level of panic.

Because the struggle over Epic-grade equipment often affects the social order of a certain region.

Let alone Wu Wang possessing an Epic-grade skill; although it didn't look like much right now, the label clearly stated it was evolvable.

Anything that can evolve, as long as it meets the conditions to evolve, is definitely an overpowered skill within the Spirit Calamity Game.

The value and potential of 【Cloud-Soaring Step】 is, in a sense, even higher than that of 【Fake Smile Mask】.

【Whether to log out】

"Confirm log out." Wu Wang's expression grew increasingly arrogant: "Brother is going to stamp the faces of those three onto my size 42 shoe!"

Just as the settlement space was about to vanish.

An extra prompt sound rang out—

【Vision of Truth (Passive): Already fused and evolved】

【@! %# Can see your world more clearly; He is in high spirits within the Abyss】

【I am gradually understanding all of this!】

"?"

Wait, bro, you can evolve too?

What did you rely on to evolve?
