"System activation successful?!"
In an instant, all of Ye Xuan's sleepiness vanished!
With a thought, a semi-transparent system interface appeared in his field of vision.
The interface adopted a minimalist style. The taskbar featured only three options: Personal Attributes, Lucky Wheel, and System Inventory.
Ye Xuan gathered his wits and opened the Personal Attributes interface.
Host: Ye Xuan
Physical Fitness: 78
Brain Power: 82
Charisma: 80
Causal Value:
Note: Physical fitness is a synthesis of bodily qualities such as strength, speed, endurance, agility, flexibility, and coordination.
The average physical fitness, brain power, and charisma of an adult male are all 75 points.
"In other words, all three of my stats are above average?"
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and then he opened the Lucky Wheel interface.
Just as the name suggested, a golden wheel appeared before his eyes. The wheel was divided by red lines into four categories: Skills, Consumables, Attributes, and Specials.
Among them, Skills occupied 70% of the area.
Consumables took up 20%.
Attributes accounted for 9%.
Specials occupied only 1%.
Even with one's toes, one could guess that the smaller the area, the more precious the category.
Ye Xuan tried clicking the pointer.
The next moment, a dialog box popped up.
[Causal Value * 1]
The number 1 was set against a blurred box, with plus and minus buttons behind it.
"Each draw consumes 100 Causal Value. Can the number of draws be chosen freely?"
Pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan began to experiment. As he had expected, the number of draws could be changed to any number he desired.
"I wonder if this thing has a novice protection period..."
Ye Xuan muttered to himself.
The novice protection period was a rather metaphysical concept. Take fishing, for instance. In the same river, a veteran angler with top-tier equipment might fail to catch a single fish all morning. Yet a child holding a toy fishing rod, without even baiting the spot, could pull them up one after another.
Passersby would be left speechless. The veteran angler would weep.
Take card games, for example. Beginners who barely understood the rules would usually manage to draw good hands continuously. Sometimes Ye Xuan even wondered if gods truly existed in this world, and if the novice protection period was just a prank they played when they were bored?
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile and decided to try his hand—ahem, try his luck!
He clicked to draw. The pointer started spinning, accelerating.
"Special class, special class! Give me the special class!"
Ye Xuan stared intently at the wheel, praying unceasingly.
After 15 seconds of high-speed rotation, the wheel's speed slowed down. When it reached the special class area, it was already coming to a halt.
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. "Could there really be such a thing as a novice protection period?"
Yet before his expectations could soar to the highest point, the pointer actually moved forward by another 1°!
It was precisely this 1° that caused the pointer to skip from the special class to the skill class!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have won a Math Experience Book * 1!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
What happened to the novice protection period? It's my very first draw, dammit, and you give me the highest probability item? And what the hell is a Math Experience Book? Did I bind myself to a learning machine or something?! Which subject you don't know, you draw that subject? But I'm already a young boss worth hundreds of millions, what good is learning math...
Eh, wait...
"I'm a high school student right now, and I still have to take the Gaokao..."
Drowsy from sleep, Ye Xuan finally snapped back to reality. Then, he began to grow somewhat excited.
During high school, his grades had always been in the upper-middle tier of his class, the kind who could reach the Tier 1 cutoff with some hard work, but still quite a distance away from top students.
Xiao Nanzhi, the school belle he had loved for three years, was a top student with a strong chance of being admitted to a top-tier Project 985 university. In his past life, Xiao Nanzhi had indeed been admitted to TOP3 Jiangnan University. And he came from a dual-employee family.
Yet the school belle's mother, He Yurong, was a self-made business tycoon. Back in 2004, her net worth was already in the millions. The gap between them was indeed massive.
Now that he had returned through rebirth, equipped with the divine artifact that let him draw whichever subject he lacked, could he now say that classic line from Thirty Years East of the River to He Yurong?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan adjusted the number of draws to 10.
After pressing the draw button, an option reading "Skip the draw process" appeared.
He clicked confirm. The next instant, the draw results were listed out:
Math Experience Book * 1
Math Experience Book * 1
Chemistry Experience Book * 1
Super Lotto Second Prize Lottery Ticket * 1
Physics Experience Book * 1
"Wait, it seems something strange got mixed in?"
Ye Xuan glanced back again. Sure enough, amidst the pile of experience books, he spotted a lottery ticket shimmering with golden light!
[Super Lotto Second Prize (Consumable) * 1 ticket]
"This draw is getting interesting..."
Ye Xuan had previously thought about using the memories of a rebirth to buy lottery tickets. However, he hadn't believed in such things in his past life, and naturally couldn't remember every single period's winning numbers. Even if he did remember, it was very likely he wouldn't win the grand prize. After all... those who understood, understood.
Since the system claimed this was a second-prize lottery ticket, there was definitely no mistake. As for how much prize money he would get in the end, it all depended on how many first and second prizes were drawn. Anywhere from a little over 100,000 to several million.
"The draw happens tonight anyway, whether it's more or less, it's a pleasant surprise."
Ye Xuan glanced at the draw date and tossed the matter aside. However, the appearance of the second-prize lottery ticket made him feel that his luck was beginning to turn for the better.
So he decided to go for a big one! 50 consecutive draws!
After modifying the count, Ye Xuan closed his eyes and chanted a few phrases: "Buddha bless me," "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate," "Jade Emperor protect me," "God shield me"...
Having finished the "ritual," he clicked to draw!
Chinese Experience Book * 1
Biology Experience Book * 1
English Experience Book * 1
Forty-something draws in a row, and every single damn one was an experience book for various subjects! Was the system trying to tell him in this way that knowledge is priceless? With knowledge, one has everything?
"System, I get it, I get it now!"
Just as Ye Xuan was feeling moved by his realization of the world's true meaning...
Rejuvenation Water * 1
Physical Fitness Capsule * 1
Charisma Capsule * 1
Math Experience Book Purchase Authorization * 1
These items came into view one by one!
Ye Xuan: "...... System, I'll be damned!"
