Chapter 8 System Lottery — Ziwei Realm-Breaking Pill
Three days later.
West of Nuoding City, Zhou Chen's residence.
Inside a bedroom, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on the bed. A brilliant golden spirit ring was currently circling around him.
"What exactly is the spirit skill of a god-level spirit ring?"
Zhou Chen frowned, muttering to himself.
For these past few days, he had been researching his own spirit skill but had no clue.
When asking the System, the dog System would just say bullshit like: 'Spirit skills are completely random, it does not know either.'
After thinking about it, Zhou Chen felt that working behind closed doors like this would not work; he still needed to find a professional.
For example, the number one person in spirit theory, the number one scumbag of Douluo, and the person who made Zhou Chen very unhappy, Yu Xiaogang, who was currently holing up in the Nuoding Junior Spirit Academy.
However, unhappiness was just unhappiness, and disdain was just disdain. As a protagonist with normal intelligence, Zhou Chen was more adept at analyzing problems from the perspective of pros and cons—Yu Xiaogang could be used.
Of course, he would not take Yu Xiaogang as his teacher; that scumbag was not worthy. On the contrary, Zhou Chen planned to establish a force and take Yu Xiaogang under his command.
After all, relying on him alone, he could not get many gold spirit coins at all. Only by establishing a massive force could he mobilize countless subordinates to collect gold spirit coins for him, or even directly mine gold mines.
And in a fantasy world like the Douluo Continent where martial power reigned supreme, to establish a massive force, one must have a massive number of Spirit Masters under their command.
Therefore, an instructor-type theoretical talent like Yu Xiaogang, who was good at large-scale training and teaching Spirit Masters, could come in handy.
Although making Yu Xiaogang pledge loyalty to him, a six-year-old child, was truly a bit nonsensical, one must always have dreams. What if it came true?
Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.
Immediately after, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Old Jack walked in pushing an extremely heavy black box.
"Little Chen, I have obtained the ten thousand gold spirit coins you wanted." Old Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead and said while panting.
Seeing Old Jack's weary appearance, Zhou Chen immediately jumped off the bed, took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for Old Jack, and said: "Grandpa Jack, why did you move such a heavy thing yourself? What if you sprain your waist?"
"Haha, it is nothing. My body is tough."
Feeling Zhou Chen's concern, Old Jack laughed, deliberately stretched his waist to show that he was strong in his old age.
"That is true, the auntie next door can testify to that." Zhou Chen suddenly said, winking.
As soon as these words came out, Old Jack's face instantly turned red, and he hemmed and hawed, unable to speak.
After a good while, Old Jack shook off the embarrassment and said seriously: "Little Chen, why do you suddenly want this ten thousand gold spirit coins again? Almost all the working capital of the shops we opened has been drained."
"This..."
Hearing Old Jack finally ask this sharp question, Zhou Chen immediately felt very troubled and could not answer at all.
He could not possibly say that he had a System that liked gold.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was unwilling to answer, Old Jack did not force the question. Instead, he said in a gentle tone: "Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. Grandpa believes in you; you are born to do great things! No matter what, Grandpa will stand with you!"
Saying this, Old Jack patted Zhou Chen's small head, smiled, and then left.
Zhou Chen, however, felt his eyes turning somewhat red.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Chen let his mood slowly calm down. Then, he opened the box, and immediately golden light filled the entire room.
It was another ten thousand gold spirit coins.
"System, come out to work."
"Coming, coming."
Facing the cute gold coins, the usually aloof System immediately became enthusiastic.
The next second, intense light emerged from Zhou Chen's palm, and those ten thousand gold spirit coins instantly turned into a golden torrent that was sucked into his palm.
"Ding... Received ten thousand gold spirit coins, exchanged for ten thousand Gold Yuan Points. Host, please check." The System's crisp voice revealed a cheerful aura.
"System, I want to draw a lottery."
"Ding... Received, processing."
"Ding... Deducted ten thousand Gold Yuan Points, drawing once."
Instantly, in Zhou Chen's mind, a colorful wheel where only the [Pill] category was lit while other categories were dim began to spin continuously, until finally...
"Ding... Drew [Pill] category reward, Ziwei Realm-Breaking Pill! This pill originates from the Primeval World, refined by a pill servant under the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, one of the Four Sovereigns of the Heavenly Court. It can ignore any physical barriers and help cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage break through one level of cultivation!"
"Hiss..."
Seeing the introduction of this pill, Zhou Chen immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
A Nascent Soul stage cultivator was equivalent to a Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent. That meant this Ziwei Realm-Breaking Pill could actually allow anyone below Title Douluo to break through one level of spirit power!
This was a heavy treasure!
If not for the fact that what Zhou Chen lacked was not spirit power but spirit rings, he would have used this thing himself right now.
However, even if he did not use it himself, he could use this pill to subdue someone useful to Zhou Chen.
Unfortunately, Title Douluo could not use it; otherwise, it could be used to rope in Tang Hao as his temporary hired thug.
As for other powerhouses, Zhou Chen did not know them.
Even giving it to Ning Fengzhi, Flender, Titan, and others who seemed relatively upright in the original plot, Zhou Chen was not at ease!
In this day and age, human hearts were unpredictable. If they took the pill and then slapped Zhou Chen to death, who could he reason with?
Only a transmigrator with insufficient intelligence would give a precious Realm-Breaking Pill to a strange powerhouse they did not know well. Even with acquaintances, Zhou Chen would have to observe them for a few years.
But time waited for no one. Being chased by various forces, it was impossible for him to hold onto this pill and wait for a few years.
After thinking about it, Zhou Chen felt that the only way was to give the pill to someone who had a timid and cowardly character, relatively rubbish strength, and would never be able to beat Zhou Chen, completely under Zhou Chen's grasp, but was very useful to Zhou Chen in certain aspects.
For example... Yu Xiaogang, whose spirit power was forever limited to Rank 29 due to spirit mutation, but who could train a Spirit Master army for Zhou Chen.
For someone like Yu Xiaogang, let alone breaking through to Rank 30, even if he broke through to Rank 60, he would completely not be a match for Zhou Chen.
If he dared to have second thoughts, Zhou Chen could resolve him at any time.
