Chapter 140: Spinning the Roulette

For some reason, Henrick felt that something must have happened to Nick that made him hate all the beasts.

Even when he was around the baby fire monkey, he forcefully made laughs for Henrick's sake and maintained some distance away from it.

'I hope he will change his hate towards the beast with the help of the armoured fire crocodile,'

Soon, Henrick shook his head as he went into his cultivation abode.

'Growl'

As for the armoured fire crocodile, it looked at Henrick's cultivation abode for a moment before walking into Nick's cultivation abode.

'Finally, it's good to have a nice hot bath after a long day,'

As soon as he entered his cultivation abode, Henrick went for a hot water bath as he soaked in the hot water pool and started relaxing in it.

'It's time to check spin the roulette from the mission reward,'

After taking a bath. Henrick changed into fresh clothes and excitedly sat on his stone bed before thinking about the roulette he got from completing a mission.

'System, show me what is stored in the slots of the roulette,'

The first thing he wanted to know was what were the items on the roulette. With that thought in his mind, he asked the system to show it.

'Swoosh'

As soon as he asked the system about the roulette, a three-coloured wheel appeared in front of him with red, blue and green on it.

'Woah'

When he saw what was on each section on the three-coloured wheel, Henrick was surprised and excited at the same time as he let out an exclamation.

'No wonder, the system said all three things on the roulette will be good and no matter what I will be satisfied even with the lowest rewards among the three things on the roulette,' Henrick was liking his cultivation system more and more as it kept on giving such nice rewards for completing the missions.

"Compared to the missions from the mission hall, the system's missions are more generous with rewards,"

In the next second, he started compared the mission hall's missions and the system's missions and continued to think, "If only some feature like contribution hall is also in the system, then it would be even nicer."

If there was a contribution hall in the system, then he could directly sell the items and buy the items from the system. Since the system was more generous with the rewards compared to the mission hall, Henrick thought that the system's contribution hall would also be generous.

'Anyway, I need to spin the roulette first to get the reward,'

Soon, he shook his thoughts as he said to the system, 'Spin the roulette.'

'Swoosh'

Soon, the three coloured roulette started spinning at an incredible speed whereas Henrick was praying to the heavens to get the highest reward among the three rewards on the roulette.

'Am I becoming more and more greedy like white?' 

All of a sudden, Henrick remembered the white puppy in his home as he shook his head and waited for the wheel to stop.

He focused on the pointer as it was the thing that decides the rewards for him.

Soon the roulette stopped and the pointer was in the blue region.

"Haha"

All of a sudden, Henrick started laughing and there was a satisfied look on his face.

"Second best reward...good...good,"

Even though he didn't get the highest reward from the roulette, he also didn't get the lowest reward. So, he was extremely satisfied with the reward.

'Ding,

Congrats to the master for winning the 100 percent increase in the storage of the dantian from the special roulette.

'Ding,

As long as the master is ready, the process to increase the storage will take place.

Within the next second, he got two system notifications revealing the reward details.

"I am ready. Start the process,"

Henrick was very much eager to get that reward. So, without wasting any time, he asked the system to start the process.

'Ding,

Please bear the pain if you feel any.

With his confirmation, the system soon started the process and asked him to endure the pain if he got any from the process.

Coming to the rewards on the roulette, there are three. They are 50 percent, 100 percent and 200 percent increase in the dantian's space. They were placed on green, blue and red coloured sections on the roulette.

The thing is, Henrick would have been happy even if the pointer showed at the green region and got only a 50 percent increase in the dantian.

For a cultivator, the more internal fire energy he could store in his dantian, the more powerful and longer he could fight. So, even if there was a single percent increase in the dantian, most of the cultivators never complain.

So, when he got a 100 percent increase in the dantian, which means double of what he was having now, Henrick was of course satisfied.

'System, the pain you mentioned is just like a mosquito bite...Haha,' 

Even after 5 minutes, Henrick was unable to feel much pain. So, he jokingly said to the system as he was bored to stare into the thin air.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master, the dantian space is increased by 100 percent.

'Ding,

Dantian:- 100 / 200 percent filled (Pure internal fire energy)

Just as he joked with the system, it sent two system notifications informing about the completion of the process and showing his current dantian status.

"It's over, already?"

Henrick was shocked by the process that the system had mentioned.

He thought that the pain would be increased to an unbearable level because doubling the dantian space was not a common thing.

In fact, it was almost impossible by normal means. So, he was still unable to believe that his dantian was already double in space and reached 200 percent from 100 percent.

Because of his human race's Endurance' skill, Henrick didn't feel much pain and adding to the fact that he had endured various types of pain after joining the outer sect, he felt the process was over too soon.

'Let's see who is my current dantian,'

Since he was still unable to believe that his dantian had increased by 100 percent, he closed his eyes and checked inside his body.

'Huh? Why is there no change to my dantian?' 

Henrick raised his brows when he looked at the dantian and there were no changes to it.

Soon, he started feeling that the system didn't increase his dantian; however, he didn't curse at the system as he knew it would soon.

'Ding,

Master, the earlier process I meant is not increasing the size of the dantian, it is about inscribing the ancient ruins on the dantian to increase the storage space of the dantian. In more simple words, just imagine it as the storage ring. 

Just as he expected, the system explained the process in more detail.

'Oh. So, it's just like how the storage rings works,'

With the system's explanation, Henrick got a better understanding of the process and at the same time, he was surprised that the dantian could be increased by just inscribing the runes on it.

Storage ring was a common tool for storing things in the cultivation world; however, what the cultivators used would have very less storage space. So, if you want to increase its storage space, then you have to learn inscribing techniques or you have to take the help of an inscription master.

The inscription master is a rare profession and just like any other professions, it will be a cultivator to calm down his mind. Compared to many professions, it is one of the best professions that will help the cultivator to keep his mind stable.

With their inscriptions, they could increase the storage space of any storage rings; however, they have their own difficulties in doing so.

"System, since you can increase my dantian by 100 percent then why don't you directly increase it by 200 percent?"

Henrick felt like 'Isn't it better to increase it by 200 percent with the inscriptions'. So, he asked the system about it.

'Ding,

I can do that but you have to earn it. Only then, I can do that.

Soon, the system sent the notification and directly said to him that he had to earn the increase with his hard work.

"Okay okay,"

Henrick nodded his head as he knew the system had its own rules when helping him. So, he didn't think much about it before standing up.

"Having 100 percent of pure internal fire energy in my dantian is making my body stronger without my interference. I wonder what will happen when I maintain 200 percent of pure internal fire energy,"

The moment his dantian was filled with the pure internal fire energy, Henrick was feeling that his body was becoming stronger with each passing second; however, it was very slow, that there were no immediate effects that appeared in his body.

'From now on, I should not careless use any of my skills unless it is required until my dantian is once again completely filled with the pure internal fire energy,'

Currently, the pure internal fire energy in his dantian was filled only half of the entire storage space. So, Henrick thought not to waste a single percent of pure internal fire energy until he completely filled his dantian.

'I wonder what is Spark doing right now?'

Henrick's thoughts were shifting from one topic to another at lightning speed and he soon thought about the baby fire monkey.

"It is intelligent enough to take care of itself," Henrick had enough confidence in the baby fire monkey as he shifted his thoughts to another thing, "It's time to swallow the 'Early awakening pill'."
