Chapter 99

"Damn time shuttle!"

Bai Xiaofei was so angry that he almost lost control. The time shuttle was really infuriating! It was like it always picked the wrong pot to lift the lid on!

Bai Xiaofei wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that as the energy absorption increased, the time shuttle seemed to become more human-like. Not only did it learn to be silent, but it even learned to mock! Compared to the rigid, monotonous electronic voice it used to have, it was like a completely different device, no, a completely different shuttle!

Was the time shuttle evolving? Or did it have its own intelligence all along, which was just dormant for some reason and is now gradually awakening?

Bai Xiaofei was very curious and puzzled.

However, he also knew that this question wouldn't be answered anytime soon. The time shuttle would definitely not tell him, and Bai Xiaofei couldn't figure it out either, so he decided not to think about it anymore. It was pointless to overthink it! Instead, he focused on the grand time lottery that the system rewarded him for this time's time trial.

"I hope this lottery will have some top-notch items!" With this hopeful thought, Bai Xiaofei opened the page for the grand time lottery.

Thirty-six patterns instantly appeared before Bai Xiaofei's eyes.

The familiar six categories were there, and the countdown option was removed. Below the big wheel, there was a new "Refresh" button. It cost 10,000 energy points to refresh the lottery items once, and the cost doubled for each subsequent refresh. Besides the free lottery chances, Bai Xiaofei could also spend 100,000 energy points to get one lottery chance, and there was a chance to get double or random multipliers as special rewards.

This was Bai Xiaofei's first lottery after the time shuttle's upgrade, and it made him quite excited: "I wonder if the chances of winning a big prize have increased after the upgrade? Forget it, I'll think about those complicated things later. Let's see what the lottery items are first. I hope they're not too disappointing!"

The thirty-six patterns were divided into six categories: Characters, Weapons, Items, Creatures, Abilities, and Heroes.

Each category had six awards, arranged in a crisscross pattern.

Bai Xiaofei, with an excited heart, focused his eyes and first looked at the character category. It included: Boz Pepp, Female Reporter XX, Model XX...

"Damn!"

Bai Xiaofei couldn't bear to look anymore!

None of the six character options were appealing, especially Pepp, who almost made Bai Xiaofei vomit. She was Tony's mistress, and the system actually set her as a prize. Was this really a good idea?

He mentally flipped the time shuttle the middle finger and continued to check the other prizes.

Six weapons, trash!

Compared to Bai Xiaofei's ultimate weapon, they were all garbage!

Six creatures, even more bizarre. However, the "Five Elements Gold Rat" seemed quite impressive!

Six heroes, well, regardless of whether they were good or not, Bai Xiaofei had no interest in ghosts and spirits. If it were Nie Xiaoxian, it would be different, but these ghosts didn't seem like good things. What if they didn't listen? The system didn't explicitly state that they would definitely obey him if he drew them!

Therefore, Bai Xiaofei kept praying that he wouldn't draw a hero. If he got a traitor, it would be a disaster!

After passing four categories, only items and abilities were left. If there was nothing good, Bai Xiaofei decided to bite the bullet and spend 10,000 energy points to refresh. It would hurt, but the proud Bai Xiaofei wouldn't be picky!

Fortunately, while the system was tricky, it wasn't without good items.

Bai Xiaofei quickly found several excellent items and abilities: "Miracle Mask" (a mask that can freely change one's appearance, undetectable!), "Pet Contract Card" (ignores species and strength, 100% chance to become your pet once it hits!), "Top Dog Food" (greatly enhances the abilities of male creatures, perfect for singles!).

"Gun Mastery Lv7 (Cold Weapons)," "Fist Mastery Lv5," "Mind Reading Lv3," "Weakness Perception Lv1."

Among these, Bai Xiaofei was most interested in three: "Pet Contract Card," "Gun Mastery Lv7 (Cold Weapons)," and "Weakness Perception Lv1."

The "Pet Contract Card" was self-explanatory. Its god-like ability and rarity made it extremely valuable. "Gun Mastery (Cold Weapons)" wasn't particularly outstanding, but its high level, Lv7, was in the master's domain. Among all of Bai Xiaofei's mastery skills, only his sword and gun mastery reached Lv7.

The last one, "Weakness Perception."

Even at the lowest level, Lv1, it still had a god-like attribute. Its ability was as its name suggested: it could perceive the weaknesses of enemies!

This was an active skill. Once activated, within a certain range, it could use super-sensitive senses and fluctuations to analyze everything in the area at high speed, breaking down the enemy's moves, flaws, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses, like an omniscient god!

"Weakness Perception" consumed a lot of energy and had a very short duration. Its power was limited by the user's mental and intellectual capabilities, which worked together.

This was a controversial ability, both god-like and potentially useless!

It all depended on the user!

Bai Xiaofei loved this ability. When he played DNF, his first character was a Warrior. With "Weakness Perception," even with ordinary equipment, a high-strength weapon made him almost invincible. He could crush any monster with a single kick!

That feeling was incredibly satisfying!

Unfortunately...

After the Great Transfer, his class changed, and the balance was adjusted, making the Warrior class much weaker. Bai Xiaofei then switched to the Demon Emperor class.

Now, Bai Xiaofei saw a skill that was almost identical to the Warrior's "Weakness Perception" in both name and effect. How could he not be excited? Damn it, he had to get it!

However, this was a lottery, and Bai Xiaofei didn't have a choice card. Whether he could get what he wanted depended on his luck.

"Let's go for it!"

Staring at the "Weakness Perception" option, Bai Xiaofei gritted his teeth and mentally clicked the "Start Lottery" button. The big wheel began to spin, and the light points started to rotate, making everything dizzying. Even with Bai Xiaofei's sharp eyes, he couldn't see any of the patterns clearly!

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Bai Xiaofei was taken aback. In previous lotteries, only the light points rotated, but now both the wheel and the points were spinning, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. It was impossible to predict the result!

Bai Xiaofei was speechless: "Damn system! How can I cheat with all these changes?!"

After about ten seconds.

"Beep!"

"This lottery has ended."

"Congratulations, Host. You have won a 'Five Elements Gold Rat.' Unlimited use, no expiration. The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory!"

After the system's announcement, Bai Xiaofei found a cute, intelligent hamster in his hand. It had a sharp nose, big ears, a fluffy body, a curled tail, and almost transparent paws. Its eyes were large, black, and sparkling, making it look very lively!

Seeing the hamster, Bai Xiaofei was stunned.

First, he was surprised to draw a creature, which was unprecedented. Second, he was shocked that this seemingly ordinary hamster was not a pure creature but a high-tech mechanical rat, a fusion of advanced mechanical detection and biological engineering!

This little guy was useless in other areas but was an expert in finding rare metals and energy materials, far surpassing any detection radar. It was also water and fire resistant and could adapt to various terrains, making it an excellent companion for exploration and archaeology!

After the initial surprise, Bai Xiaofei lost interest and threw it into the dimensional space.

Focusing on the "Weakness Perception" option again, Bai Xiaofei's determination grew: "I won't believe I can't get it!"

He paid 100,000 energy points and started the lottery again.

The big wheel and light points began to spin.

After about ten seconds.

"Beep!"

"This lottery has ended."

"Congratulations, Host. You have won a 'Top Dog Food' bucket. Usage restriction: male creatures. Expiration: 70 years. The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory!"

Staring at the bucket that suddenly appeared in his hand, with a picture of a pug sticking out its tongue and the words "Top Dog Food" in large letters, Bai Xiaofei was dumbfounded!

Regaining his senses, Bai Xiaofei was furious: "Damn! System, are you kidding me? Are you bullying me for being single? I'll curse you to hell! Damn it!"

After a furious outburst, the unwilling Bai Xiaofei paid another 100,000 energy points and started the third lottery!

"I won't believe I can't get it!"

The lottery started, and the big wheel and light points began to spin wildly.

After about ten seconds.

"Beep!"

"This lottery has ended."

"Congratulations, Host. You have won a 'Pet Contract Card.' Usage restriction: non-human creatures. Expiration: 1 year. The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory!"

"Uh..."

Looking at the card in his hand, which seemed similar to the ability theft card, Bai Xiaofei was stunned.

To be honest, although he didn't draw "Weakness Perception," the "Pet Contract Card" was still a great prize, one of the three treasures he coveted. However, he was still not satisfied!

He was ready to pay another 100,000 energy points for another lottery!

After all, he still had over 4.8 million energy points, and the lottery, though tricky, was worth it for "Weakness Perception." He was determined to get it, no matter what!

The more lotteries he did, the higher the chances of drawing the remaining items.

He was sure he could get it after a few more tries!

Unfortunately...

His thoughts were good, but reality was harsh.

Just as Bai Xiaofei was about to pay another 100,000 energy points for the fourth lottery, a message popped up on the lottery page: "Host, you have exceeded three lottery attempts. All prizes will be reset and refreshed. Host, do you want to spend 100,000 energy points to continue the lottery?"

"..."

At this moment, Bai Xiaofei felt a million horses galloping through his heart, and he was almost fainting.

After a long while, he finally managed to grit his teeth and utter two words.

"I curse you!"
