Chapter 89: The Unlucky Physique
While bantering with Lin Xiaowan until the bell rang, Su Lin returned to his seat. Pretending to read a book, he actually summoned the system, planning to use his lottery chances.
“System, I still have so lottery draws left, right?” [Yes, Host~!].
Su Lin decided, “Alright, I’ll use them now. With the upcoming move to Donghai, it’s better to amass more strength considering the challenges there. Let’s draw! Use all three chances.”
[Wow~! A legendary draw! Congratulations, Host, you’ve obtained the skill ‘Firearms Mastery’.].
[Ding~! Congratulations, Host, you’ve received a recoilless Desert Eagle pistol, Yan Shuangying version.].
[Ding~! Sorry, you didn’t draw anything this ti!].
“Damn, isn’t this supposed to be a lucky chest? What kind of stuff are you giving ?” Su Lin complained.
[Host, the payout rate of this system is 70%, with a 99.9% success rate. It’s unexpected even for the system that you didn’t draw anything.].
Su Lin, sowhat speechless, asked, “So you’re saying I have an unlucky constitution?”
[Theoretically, yes, Host!].
“Fine, enough. Wait, I think I still have an epic chest to draw.”
[Yes, Host].
“What’s in the epic chest?” Su Lin curiously asked.
[The Epic Chest is an upgraded version of the Lucky Chest, containing a wide variety of items like martial arts techniques, treasures, divine pills, black technology, blueprints, etc. The lowest grade is blueprints, and the highest is divine martial arts techniques.]
“Wow, there are martial arts techniques?” Su Lin’s interest piqued. In this ever-evolving world, one never knew when a martial arts master might appear.
Even though Su Lin knew Eight Extre Fist, the protagonist could be stronger. If he drew a technique from the system’s premium quality, it would be a huge advantage.
“Are these techniques the ones I’m familiar with?”
[Yes, Host!].
“Let’s draw then. I refuse to believe I’m really that unlucky.”
“Draw~!!” Su Lin watched as a more luxurious chest than the Lucky Chest appeared in his mind, emitting a rainbow light.
[Ding~! Congratulations, Host, you’ve received a full set of blueprints for the Kidney 4 IPhone. (Including lithography technology, etc.)].
“System, blueprints are the worst draw?”
[Yes, Host, and among blueprints, smartphone blueprints are the lowest.].
“Damn it… System, you’re tricking , doing this on purpose.”
[The system cannot interfere with its operation, only assist the Host in using it.].
“Damn it… There go the ‘Muscle Changing Classic’, ‘Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms’, ‘Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger’, ‘Burning Scripture’, ‘Seven Forms of the Evil God’… ‘Hehua Zi Zai’…” Su Lin was furious.
Looking at the Kidney 4 IPhone blueprints in the system space, he felt an inexplicable disdain. “An epic chest, a once-in-a-lifeti draw for defeating a protagonist, and it gave this.”
“Ah, what’s the use of having smartphone blueprints if I can’t even make the chips.”
[Host, don’t underestimate the Epic Chest. This smartphone blueprint includes all relevant technologies. With it, you can build a phone.].
“Still trash~!!”
“Knock, knock, knock~!!”
Lin Xiaowan, noticing Su Lin thumping the desk, tapped his shoulder with a puzzled look, “Su Lin, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Lin gave a smile more sorrowful than crying, “Xiaowan, I just lost a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.”
“Once-in-a-lifeti?” Lin Xiaowan, feeling his forehead, said, “You don’t have a fever. Su Lin, why are you talking nonsense?”
Su Lin shook his head, not wanting to explain. He couldn’t reveal his biggest secret – the system. “Forget it, I just want so peace.”
Lin Xiaowan found his look of utter dejection amusing. “Alright then, rest for a bit. The teacher won’t bother you anyway…”
“Ah…” Su Lin’s mood was low for three whole days over the epic chest. He doubted himself, wondering if he really had an unlucky constitution. The epic chest, full of amazing items, had given him the most worthless smartphone blueprints.
In Lin Xiaowan’s personal office at Quan Le Gou Store, she wrapped her arms around Su Lin’s neck, “Su Lin, what’s going on? You’ve been distracted these past few days.”
Su Lin, looking at her, felt his gloom lift, “Nothing much, just upset about missing a good opportunity.”
Lin Xiaowan kissed his forehead, “It’s just one opportunity. Su Lin, I believe you can create your own chances to achieve your goals.”
Su Lin nodded, “You’re right, Xiaowan. I shouldn’t be so down. I’ve even worried you and Xiaoyu for days.”
“Hehe, I think it’s good for you to be down for a few days,” Lin Xiaowan said with a laugh.
“Good for to be down? Do you enjoy seeing like this?”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head, “No, I just think your brilliance has always been too overwhelming, things have been too smooth for you. You needed a setback. I don’t know what made you upset, but I’ll always be with you.”
“You’re so good, Xiaowan.” Hugging Lin Xiaowan, Su Lin stopped thinking about the epic chest. What did an unlucky constitution matter?
With the system’s high win rate, he just needed to defeat a few more protagonists for more draws. It couldn’t always be blueprints. With Lin Xiaowan’s love, what more could he want?
As for the future, it could wait. He believed the system wouldn’t let him down.
“Xiaowan…”
“Hmm? What is it, Su Lin?”
Su Lin, sniffing her, said, “You sll so good today. What perfu did you use?”
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes, “I never use perfu, you know that.”
“Hehe, but you sll extra nice today. Tell , did you use perfu?”
“How could I? Do I need perfu with my natural beauty?” Lin Xiaowan said proudly, looking down at
Su Lin. “Really? I don’t believe it. I need to check…”
Lin Xiaowan, glancing at him, said, “No way, it’s almost dinner ti. Xiaoyu might co at any mont. We’ve been in the sa room for so long, she might misunderstand. Go keep her company and talk to her. I have work to do.”
“Really, Xiaowan? I’m your boyfriend, and you’re pushing towards another woman?” Su Lin feigned disbelief.
“Humph, we agreed, rember? Listen to .”
“Alright, I’ll go see Xiaoyu,” Su Lin agreed reluctantly.
“Hehe, that’s right. Good boy.”
“Mua~!!”
Su Lin touched his kissed cheek, smiling. She really was adorably silly.
(TL: Kidney 4 IPhone is like a chinese Internet joke or slang term linking the purchase of expensive smartphones, like certain iPhone models, to selling one’s kidney, due to their high price. Like a form of humorous exaggeration to comnt on the cost of the phones.).
