Chapter 23: The Special Item for Ascending to the Heavens

The snow-white walls reflected a pale blue hue under the chandelier's light, while the mahogany bookshelf was filled with a variety of books. The sea-blue bedsheets embroidered with exquisite coral and fish patterns, and beyond the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a splendid starry sky was mirrored. Ye Tian and Su Mei stood in the bedroom, facing each other in an incredibly awkward atmosphere.

"Um… do you like the ocean a lot?" Eventually, Ye Tian couldn't stand the awkwardness anymore and broke the silence.

"It's okay, I just prefer the color blue," Su Mei responded after a pause, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

Both of them were practically novices in matters of the heart, and a night of unexpected intimacy had only made things more complicated. If Su Mei had no particular feelings for Ye Tian, she could have just ignored him. But their misunderstanding had been cleared, and Ye Tian had saved her from despair not once but twice - first from a nefarious taxi driver and then from the impending loss of her grandfather.

These actions had undoubtedly made Su Mei develop strong feelings for Ye Tian, and she wasn't as resistant to the idea of marriage as before, especially considering their intimate night together - a memory that's hard for any woman to erase. Thus, their interaction became even more awkward.

"I… I'll go get some bedding for you to sleep on the floor," Su Mei said, trying to alleviate the awkwardness, but as she left, it only intensified.

Ye Tian, left alone, began to look around. The bedroom was spacious, and although the decor wasn't lavish, the intricately carved mahogany bookshelf spoke volumes about the understated luxury of the place.

"I must work hard! Someday, I'll provide a room like this for my sister and cure her illness. The medical skills of Hua Tuo are not enough; at best, they can only suppress the symptoms," Ye Tian resolved as he sat on the bed, looking out at the stars, clenching his fists in determination.

"Right, don't I still have two hundred dog food points!" Suddenly, Ye Tian remembered the points he had earned at the banquet earlier, his eyes lighting up with excitement.

Two hundred points could get him two chances at the prize draw, a rare opportunity indeed. Instead of slowly accumulating a thousand for a higher-tier draw, he decided to start immediately.

Without further ado, Ye Tian opened the system.

Super Dog Food System:

Host: Ye Tian

Dog Food Points: 210 (Earn points by spreading dog food.)

Lottery: Use dog food points to draw prizes, ranging from basic to top-tier, increasing a hundredfold with each draw. (From all the worlds, nothing can't be drawn, nothing can't be obtained!)

System Store: All drawn items can be purchased in the store.

The interface was as straightforward as ever. Seeing the points, Ye Tian smiled. Attending similar banquets could be a good way to earn points by showcasing affection.

Eagerly, he opened the lottery interface, and the familiar wheel appeared. He widened his eyes at the various prizes listed.

1. IN-type High Energy Laser Gun

2. F-class Lightning Ability

3. Hundred-Year Ganoderma

4. Basic Huashan Sect Heart Method

5. Hogwarts First-Year Textbook

6. Blank

7. Master-level Piano Performance

8. Master-level Antique Appraisal

9. Special Hypnosis Technique

10. "I Am Your Father" (Special Item)

Ye Tian could understand most of the items: laser guns and lightning abilities were clearly technological items; piano performance and antique appraisal, while not as practical, were certainly status symbols; and the Hundred-Year Ganoderma was valuable and could aid in cultivation.

The Huashan Sect Heart Method, Hogwarts textbooks, and Special Hypnosis Technique were all incredibly enticing. The basic heart method was still a legitimate internal skill of the Huashan Sect, valuable even if it was just the basics. Hogwarts textbooks, even just for the first year, were enough to cause a stir. And the hypnosis technique? Many men had surely fantasized about such a thing.

Though these prizes seemed slightly inferior to the previous draw, Ye Tian understood that initial draws were always more generous. But the last item, "I Am Your Father," seemed bizarre. Was the system making a joke?

With curiosity piqued and a dash of recklessness, Ye Tian spun the wheel without a second thought.

"Congratulations, you've drawn 'I Am Your Father,' a special item. Not available for purchase in the store."

"I Am Your Father" (Special Item)

From the gaming realm, this item allows the user to forcibly establish a father-son relationship with a chosen target, making them comply with your requests. The target's strength must not exceed the user's, and it's effective within a one-kilometer radius.

"Damn!" Ye Tian stood up abruptly, eyes wide as saucers. It wasn't just bizarre; it was outrageous! In a world where most were unaware of ancient martial arts, including many influential figures, this card could make them obedient within a kilometer.

Ecstatic about the potential, Ye Tian immediately decided to draw again, hardly glancing at the prize list this time.

"Congratulations, you've drawn a Rose Undergarment. Retail price in the store: 500."

Rose Undergarment: A product of future technology, crafted with special techniques for breast enhancement and body shaping. Continuous wear imparts a natural rose fragrance.

As the system announced his prize, a piece of delicate lingerie appeared in Ye Tian's hands. Black lace with intricate rose patterns, it was undeniably attractive.

"Damn!" While the garment was indeed appealing and likely to be even more so on a woman, it was of no use to him - a waste of a hundred dog food points.

He sniffed the garment, appreciating the elegant rose scent, and then...

Creak...

The bedroom door opened at that very moment.
