[Science Points: 1,106,766!!]
"Over 1.1 million Science Points!"
Staring at the number in front of him, Yuuto Kagami couldn't help but grin in delight.
According to the system's enhancement features,
It only cost 100,000 points to push the Ice-Ice Fruit to the awakened stage.
And if he were to spend it on the lottery instead—
That would be enough for 110 basic draws, 11 intermediate draws, or 1 advanced draw!
"Let's max out the Ice-Ice Fruit first!"
Yuuto Kagami didn't hesitate.
He immediately opened the enhancement interface
And upgraded his previously intermediate-level Ice-Ice Fruit straight to the Awakened Stage.
With 100,000 points deducted,
An overwhelming flood of information about the Ice-Ice Fruit's power surged into his mind.
"Crack crack!"
At the same time,
Yuuto Kagami's entire body was encased in ice.
As frost spread outward, he gradually merged with the ice itself.
"So this is elementalization?"
Yuuto Kagami looked down at his body, now completely made of ice.
He tested it—raising his right fist and slamming it into his left arm.
Crack!
His left forearm shattered and hit the ground.
But in the next second, the broken limb began to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this,
Yuuto Kagami felt a strange sense of wonder.
Moments later,
The frost receded from his body,
Returning him to his normal appearance.
"With Whitebeard's physique and the awakened Ice-Ice Fruit..."
"I can probably freeze an entire island now!"
Feeling the vast ocean of power now surging within him,
Yuuto Kagami couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.
However,
He quickly calmed himself.
"I've still got a million Science Points left."
He opened the lottery interface.
[Basic Draw: 10,000 Points]
[Intermediate Draw: 100,000 Points]
[Advanced Draw: 1,000,000 Points]
[Divine Draw: 10,000,000 Points]
Looking at the options in front of him,
Yuuto Kagami hesitated.
Now that he had so many points, basic draws no longer satisfied him.
But... should he go for ten intermediate draws, or blow it all on one advanced draw?
"Phew... whatever."
"If I'm going to draw, I'm going big!"
After a short internal struggle,
Yuuto Kagami couldn't resist the temptation of the Advanced Draw and made his decision.
"Let's go for one Advanced Draw!"
"Please let it be a powerful ability!"
He tapped the draw button,
Watching as the screen lit up with spinning, dazzling colors—his heart filled with anticipation.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have drawn: Max-Level Boost Card x1!]
"Hmm?"
A golden card appeared before him.
Yuuto Kagami blinked in confusion.
"Just one card… from a million-point draw?"
"But… a 'Max-Level Boost Card'?"
"Sounds... pretty awesome?"
Suppressing his curiosity,
Yuuto Kagami quickly checked the card's info.
[Max-Level Boost Card]
Effect: Instantly raises one item's ability to its maximum level!
"Hiss——"
Upon reading the description, Yuuto Kagami couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air!
From the many treasures he had collected so far,
He had noticed a pattern:
All acquired abilities start at their most basic stage.
Just like the Ice-Ice Fruit and Sasuke's ocular powers.
Which made this no-limits Max-Level Card an incredibly valuable item!
"If I ever obtain something like Saitama's physique… or Goku's Saiyan bloodline…"
"Using this card could instantly push me to the top of the multiverse!"
The mere thought had him trembling with excitement.
Yuuto Kagami carefully stored the Max-Level Boost Card in his Spatial Ring,
Saving it for when he found a treasure with the right amount of potential.
It took quite a while
Before he managed to completely calm down.
With grand dreams for the future,
Yuuto Kagami freshened up and went to bed, drifting off into a deep sleep.
The Next Morning.
Yuuto Kagami woke up early.
His ever-stronger body no longer needed long rest periods—he was full of energy.
After spending some time making himself a simple breakfast,
He had just finished eating when—
Knock knock.
A knock came from the door.
But Yuuto Kagami wasn't surprised.
He had already heard the footsteps outside a few moments earlier.
Moreover,
He could tell just from the sound of their pacing that the visitors were nervous—
Walking back and forth, circling several times in hesitation.
After a quick tidy-up,
Yuuto Kagami opened the door.
A few figures stood outside.
At the front was a tall woman in a form-fitting uniform, with a strikingly pretty face.
And behind her—
Was a familiar face.
It was Shen Lele,
The one who had received the String-String Fruit and video-chatted with Yuuto Kagami during a previous stream.
Shen Lele tiptoed excitedly and waved cheerfully at him.
Yuuto Kagami raised an eyebrow in surprise but nodded politely.
"H-Hello!"
"We're with the Bureau of Supernatural Security… I'm Li Yayun."
The tall woman spoke nervously, introducing herself.
"Li Yayun?"
"You're the one who coordinated with me about the Devil Serpent incident, right?"
Yuuto Kagami remembered the name.
Li Yayun nodded vigorously, eyes shining with excitement.
"Yes! That was me!"
"Come in."
Seeing her so excited, Yuuto Kagami opened the door wider, inviting them in.
Li Yayun and Shen Lele entered the apartment.
The others remained outside, standing guard.
Inside,
Li Yayun sat somewhat stiffly on the sofa at Yuuto Kagami's invitation.
Shen Lele, on the other hand, looked relaxed and at ease.
"Have some water."
Yuuto Kagami poured them each a glass, then sat across from them.
He first looked to Shen Lele.
"So, Shen Lele, looks like you've joined the Bureau?"
Shen Lele quickly nodded.
"Yes!"
"After our stream together, the Bureau contacted me. I didn't think too hard about it—I just joined."
After a bit of small talk and catching up on Shen Lele's situation,
Yuuto Kagami turned to Li Yayun.
"So, Li Yayun, are you here today to invite me to join your organization?"
But to his surprise,
Li Yayun shook her head.
"No, Mr. Yuuto Kagami,
we're here to propose a partnership."
"Partnership…"
"How exactly?"
Yuuto Kagami raised an eyebrow—his interest piqued.
"We, the Bureau of Supernatural Security, will fully support all your livestream activities."
"And beyond just streaming, if you ever need help with anything, you can come to us."
"All we ask in return is for your help identifying and explaining the artifacts we've found."
After saying this,
Li Yayun fell silent, heart pounding nervously.
"No problem."
Yuuto Kagami responded almost immediately.
He'd only need to help them identify and explain a few items.
It wasn't difficult at all for him.
And with the officials handling all his livestream logistics,
That was a huge win for him, too.
