56: This lottery system is a total rip-off...

"Archaic Fire Sparrow, I appoint you as the Guardian Divine Beast of the South!"

"Ten Thousand Poisons Heavenly Centipede, I appoint you as the Guardian Divine Beast of the West!"

"Sky-Splitting Demonic Ape, I appoint you as the Guardian Divine Beast of the North!"

"You all must put forth your best efforts and must not slack off!"

"If anyone dares to be lazy or play tricks and This Sect Master finds out, This Sect Master will skin it alive and show no mercy!"

Lin Chen spoke with great gravity.

He had to be firm; these Yao Beasts were straightforward creatures. If he spoke in circles, they wouldn't understand him at all.

Now that the rules were established, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

"Yes, your command is our law!"

The Four Great Guardian Divine Beasts answered in unison.

As long as they were allowed to stay in the Wending Sect, they would do anything!

Besides, they were currently just stationed in the Sect and didn't really need to do anything; they would only be sent out to fight if something happened.

And fighting... wasn't that exactly what they loved to do most?

With everything settled, Lin Chen returned to his small courtyard.

Liu Ruoxi had warmed some wine and set out several dishes of small snacks Lin Chen enjoyed, along with spirit fruits.

With a clap of her hands, a troupe of beautiful dancers with curvaceous figures and fair skin slowly walked in.

Their long sleeves danced gracefully, and their smiles were enchanting.

"The mountain oaths we agreed upon~~ always enter my dreams~~ longing is hard to fake~~~~"

"Remaining in the depths of my heart~~ too clamorous~~~~"

“~~~~”

Lin Chen had personally taught this song to the dancers; the girls were quick-witted and understood immediately.

It must be said, the song was highly restored, and it even sounded better!

The dances they choreographed themselves based on the melody were countless times better than those suggestive female streamers from his past life!

Lin Chen watched the dance with drool practically leaking out.

His wine cup was held mid-air, and he hadn't taken a sip for a long time.

In his past life, he was tone-deaf and knew nothing about dance, but after coming here, he had unexpectedly become a dance enthusiast.

"Good, good, good!"

"Hahaha!"

"Skillful work! Rewards, rewards, rewards!"

"Ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones for each person!"

When the dancers heard this, they were so moved that tears fell, and they hurriedly bowed in thanks.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't stop!"

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Lin Chen immediately became displeased and repeatedly urged them.

Before long, the music started again.

Immortal Qi swirled around, and with the beauties in the dance pool, it felt like a celestial paradise.

Liu Ruoxi was truly too considerate; under her care, Lin Chen's daily life was incredibly comfortable.

Suddenly, with a 'ding', the System's notification sound popped up.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

He almost forgot that he had taken a mission before, and now it was time to collect the rewards.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully quelling the beast tide!]

[Reward obtained: Purple Summoning Card x1]

...[New function unlocked: Prestige Mall]

...[New function unlocked: Prestige Gacha]

[Reward obtained: First Summon Card x1]

[Reward obtained: sect prestige points x100,000]

...[Rewards obtained: Various Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills...]

..."The Prestige Mall is finally open?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly checked it.

But it was better not to look; upon seeing it, his face almost twisted with anger.

The cheapest items inside cost one million prestige value, while Lin Chen had worked so hard for so long and had only saved up less than fifty thousand.

Even with the hundred thousand gifted by the System, it added up to less than a hundred and fifty thousand.

"Are you trying to scam your father?!"

Lin Chen began to curse, but the System gave no reaction at all, as if it hadn't heard.

He gradually calmed down.

After carefully checking the items in the Mall, his expression became unsettled again.

He felt like he was purely a broke loser!

...Magic Treasures, Talismans, Medicinal Pills, Formations, Puppets, Divine Beasts, Mounts... everything was there.

Looking through them one by one, Lin Chen was both excited and miserable.

He was excited because every single item here made his heart race and nearly took his breath away.

For example, that ancient malevolent god Zhulong—if he could exchange for it, who cared about the Heavenly Sword Sect or Batian Sect? He could wipe them out in an instant!

Not to mention, there was also an Advanced Mall that hadn't been opened yet.

The things inside were even more unimaginable!

But... what made him miserable was that he couldn't afford a single thing!

Even the cheapest [early great emperor stage permanent upgrade card (maid exclusive)] required one million sect prestige points!

Good heavens!

This is too expensive; when will I ever save up enough!

Lin Chen was completely numb.

However, his eyes soon lit up.

"Prestige Gacha!"

"One draw for every hundred thousand prestige value, with a chance to pull anything from the Mall!"

"But..."

"At the same time, one might also pull Medicinal Pills, Spirit Stones, low-rank Magic Treasures, experts from the River of Time, and so on..."

Lin Chen had played many card games with this kind of gacha model in his past life; he was all too familiar with it.

To put it bluntly, it was all about luck.

Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

Although there was a high probability of pulling trash, if he were possessed by the God of Luck, he might get something amazing in one shot!

If he pulled Zhulong... "Then I would be straight-up invincible!"

Lin Chen grew excited.

Pull!

Pull, damn it!

"System!"

"Use the First Summon Card!"

It was given for free by the System anyway, so why keep it instead of pulling?

[Using First Summon Card, please wait...]

The System's notification sound 'ding ding ding' rang incessantly, and various items glowing with gold, purple-gold, pink-gold, and black-gold light spun rapidly before him.

Lin Chen watched until his head was almost spinning.

Finally, it slowly came to a stop.

It was an extremely exquisite and luxurious gift box, its entire body radiating a blinding light!

"This this this this this... Could it be...?"

Lin Chen was incredibly excited!

Judging by this display, it was at least a treasure worth tens of millions of prestige value!

"Bang—"

The gift box opened automatically!

Lin Chen's heart was in his throat!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for pulling Low-Grade Spirit Stone x100!]

The next moment.

Lin Chen felt a weight in his hand, and a hundred thumb-sized, dimly glowing Spirit Stones appeared.

"???"

Lin Chen's eyes were vacant; he was completely dumbfounded.

"F*ck!"

"You dog System!"

"Are you f*cking playing with me?!"

"For a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, you made such a big scene?"

"Just how much trash did you f*cking stuff into the prize pool!"

"You can even pull this kind of thing?"

Coming back to his senses, Lin Chen directly burst into curses!

His exasperated appearance terrified the dancers, but they didn't dare to stop.

They could only continue dancing with trembling hearts.

"Sect Master, what's wrong?"

Liu Ruoxi, who was serving him nearby, hurriedly asked.

"...I, I'm fine, don't mind me."

Realizing he had lost his composure, Lin Chen quickly adjusted his emotions, took a deep breath, and gave the System an order: "Dog System, pull again! I don't believe it'll be another hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones this time!"
