Chapter 13: Luck Lottery:
"System, how many luck points does each lottery draw cost?"
[The lowest level luck lottery costs 100 luck points. The next level costs 10x that amount. The more luck consumed, the higher the upper limit of the prize]
"What can I win at the lowest level?"
Chu Mochen wanted to give it a try. Lottery draws were fun because of the mystery of the prizes.
[Even at the lowest level, there’s a chance to win cultivation methods, immortal scriptures, immortal techniques, etc. However, the probability of getting something good is extremely low. It depends on luck. With bad luck, you might just get everyday items]
"How much luck would it take to advance to the Transforming Qi Realm?"
[Advancing to the initial stage of the Transforming Qi Realm requires 3,000 luck points]
Luck was indeed more valuable than Villain Points. Using Villain Points to reach the initial stage of Transforming Qi Realm required 70,000 points. This was after Chu Mochen had advanced to the peak of Dark Qi Realm. When he was at the initial stage of Dark Qi Realm, it took 100,000 Villain Points to reach the initial stage of Transforming Qi Realm.
However, Villain Points were easier to obtain. Villain Points could be earned by doing bad deeds, but luck could only be gained from the protagonist.
"Let's spend 100 points of luck on a lottery draw first."
Chu Mochen decided to test the waters.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Dark Qi Realm Strength Enhancement Pill ×1."
The Dark Qi Realm Strength Enhancement Pill could elevate one’s Dark Qi Realm by a small stage without side effects but was ineffective for those at the peak of Dark Qi Realm.
"Not bad."
Chu Mochen was quite satisfied with this draw. Although it wasn’t useful to him as he was already at the peak Dark Qi Realm, it could help Ji Moxue reach the middle-stage Dark Qi Realm.
"These rewards seem decent, let’s continue drawing."
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: The Bright Qi Realm Advancement Pill ×3]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: A roll of toilet paper]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Master-level cooking skills]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Blood Thorn (Weapon) ×1]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Beauty Enhancement Pill ×1]
After drawing five more times, Chu Mochen gave up. Most of the items he won were useless to him.
The Bright Qi Realm Advancement Pills were indeed valuable as they could help a Bright Qi Realm peak warrior to make a breakthrough to the Dark Qi Realm. Such a pill would be highly sought after by many warriors.
Dark Qi Realm experts were already considered strong, and the Bright Qi Realm warriors were also seen as experts.
Master-level cooking skills were useless to Chu Mochen as he never cooked. No matter how good his cooking skills were, it wouldn’t make a difference.
On the other hand, the Beauty Enhancement Pill had some use. Chu Mochen immediately consumed it.
...
Host: Chu Mochen
Age: 22
Strength: Peak of Dark Qi Realm
Charisma: 99
Luck: 1,000
Villain Points: 13,500
Abilities: Poison Gu Technique, Master-level cooking skills
Items: Hypnotic Powder ×1, Dark Qi Realm Enhancement Pill ×1, Bright Qi Realm Advancement Pill ×3, Blood Thorn ×1
...
After consuming the Beauty Enhancement Pill, Chu Mochen's charisma increased by two points, approaching the maximum value. However, in this world, it was unlikely for anyone to have maxed-out charisma.
"This dagger looks quite unattractive."
Chu Mochen held the weapon he had drawn, the Blood Thorn, a delicate dagger engraved with blood rose patterns.
"It’s not suitable for a man like me. I’ll give it to Ji Moxue."
Chu Mochen tested it, and it cut through iron like butter, proving to be an extraordinary weapon.
"Ah Hu, Ah Li, come in."
Calling in Ah Hu and Ah Li from outside, Chu Mochen tossed two pills to them.
Both were at the peak of Bright Qi Realm and were over 38 years old. Without unforeseen circumstances, they would likely be stuck at the peak of Bright Qi Realm for life.
The two pills Chu Mochen gave them could help clear their bottleneck and reach the initial stage of Dark Qi Realm.
"Take these. They will help you reach the initial stage of the Dark Qi Realm."
Ah Hu and Ah Li looked at each other, then knelt down in gratitude.
"Thank you, young master. Our lives are yours from now on."
"Get up. You need to increase your strength to help me."
In the novel, they were also loyal, so Chu Mochen did not hesitate to give them benefits. He was not as stingy as Ye Yang.
Moreover, their strength at the peak of Bright Qi Realm wasn't enough to help Chu Mochen significantly. He needed his subordinates to be stronger, as he didn’t want to handle everything himself.
Chu Mochen then took out the Dark Qi Realm Strength Enhancement Pill and handed it to Ji Moxue.
"This pill will boost your strength. This dagger is also a gift for you. Do you like it?"
"I do. Thank you."
Ji Moxue hesitated briefly before accepting it.
"From now on, you are my woman. There’s no need to thank me, because what’s mine is yours." Chu Mochen pulled Ji Moxue into his embrace domineeringly.
Ah Hu and Ah Li tactfully left the room.
Chu Mochen lowered his head, slowly approaching Ji Moxue, who slightly lifted her head and closed her eyes.
When she first arrived, Ji Moxue had some unease. Now, she felt at ease.
Although they hadn’t known each other long, Chu Mochen had been very kind to her. Ji Moxue appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.
"Will you be my woman?" Chu Mochen whispered in her ear.
"Yes."
Ji Moxue's voice was soft, but Chu Mochen heard it.
A smile curled his lips as he carried Ji Moxue to his bedroom.
Initially, he planned to take his time with Ji Moxue, but it turned out she was easier to win over than expected. This made sense, as she had been mentally prepared from a young age.
Lin Yun had raised Ji Moxue as Chu Mochen's bride, so she naturally didn’t resist him. It was easy for him to win her over.
...
"Why can't we reach him yet?"
At the Liu family villa, Liu Zhong frowned as he looked at Liu Cheng.
"Dad, Chu Mochen's phone is off. How can we contact him?"
"Why is his phone off at a time like this?"
Liu Zhong was anxious. After talking with Ye Yang, Ye Yang had headed to the Liu family villa but was taken away by the police upon arrival.
Despite Liu Zhong's connections, he couldn’t prevent Ye Yang from being taken. The Zhao family was as influential as the Liu family.
Although the Liu family was stronger in business, the Zhao family had better connections.
Unable to get Ye Yang out, Liu Zhong had to turn to Chu Mochen. But Chu Mochen, busy with important matters, had turned off his phone to avoid disturbances.
"Can we contact Chu Mochen's bodyguards?" Liu Zhong asked Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng shook his head. He didn't know the contact information for Chu Mochen’s bodyguards.
