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 some 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 time!].

“Damn, isn’t this supposed to be a lucky chest? What kind of stuff are you giving me?” 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, somewhat 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 Extreme 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 me, 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-lifetime draw for defeating a protagonist, and it gave me this.”

[Host, don’t underestimate the Epic Chest. This smartphone blueprint includes all relevant technologies. With it, you can build a phone.].

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 smell so good today. What perfume did you use?”

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes, “I never use perfume, you know that.”

“Hehe, but you smell extra nice today. Tell me, did you use perfume?”

“How could I? Do I need perfume 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 time. Xiaoyu might come at any moment. We’ve been in the same 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 me towards another woman?” Su Lin feigned disbelief.

“Humph, we agreed, remember? Listen to me.”

“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 comment on the cost of the phones.).
