Yu Yuansan was diligently cultivating. A fusion of swirling clouds and water-like white energy surrounded him, effortlessly flowing toward him. His dantian enthusiastically harnessed and refined the circulating Qi, infusing his being with newfound power.
As a practitioner of the medium-level martial art, Qi Circulation Cloud Art, he still faced inefficiencies; his mastery stood at an impressive 19%. Just a few weeks separated him from breaking into the fourth layer of the Foundation stage.
To gauge his progress, he activated the system's appraisal function, revealing his current stats:
[Name: Yu Yuanshan]
[Age: 15]
[Martial arts: Medium Level martial arts Tiger Claw, Qi Circulation Cloud Art]
[Innate traits: Straightforward, self-control, libido heightened, slightly crazy, comparatively demonic]
[Mastery: Tiger claw 27%, Qi circulation Cloud art 23%]
[System points: 7360]
His curiosity then turned to his lottery tickets. A daily allowance of 2 tickets awaited him. As his anticipation for the next day's lottery grew stronger, he found himself struggling to sleep, his mind consumed by thoughts of the countless possibilities. The lottery was expansive, sporting over 1000 rewards, ranging from a minimal 0.01% chance to a staggeringly high 99.9%.
One of the highest-valued rewards was the "Sky Overlord Warship," categorized as an Earth-level treasure. Upon assessing its price, Yuanshan was left thoroughly shaken; the cost exceeded a mind-boggling 10 Quadrillion!
Despite the slim chances of obtaining such a rare and formidable treasure, he decided to cash the lottery tickets, silently hoping that fortune would smile upon him.
The system processed his request, and the results soon appeared. He had won - a 78.1% reward in the form of a Common level martial art, "Bone Metal," and a 62.9% reward in the form of "Iron Bands," a reward that, while not overwhelming, felt reasonably adequate.
Yet, Yuanshan yearned for a more impressive feat - specifically, an attack-oriented martial art of a higher level. Amidst various options the system offered, one feature intrigued him: the purchase of lifespan.
Within the store's options, customers could select custom terms for various lifespan durations - spanning one year, five years, ten years, twenty-five years, one hundred years, two hundred fifty years, five hundred years, one thousand years, and beyond. Customers opting for custom lifespan durations would be charged an additional 10% of system points compared to standard pricing.
The tempting offer of extending their years had drawn many to consider this option, but it was uncertain whether this represented a wise choice or a futile endeavor.
The system was sure to be an invaluable helper.
