No matter what anyone else thought or said, Kurama was more than satisfied with what the lottery had just given them.
After all, it was a Sharingan. Once it upgraded this thing's level, who could control it? Madara Uchiha? Hah! Might as well laugh it off.
As long as I keep spending, I can even turn the tables on Madara!
He wants to dance, huh? Fine. I'll make him dance like he's in a girl-group performance!
Wu Liuqi asked, "So… who's next?"
Before Sam could answer, Elsa stepped forward.
"I'll go first. Save the president for last."
Since Elsa said that, Sam didn't object. A little earlier or later really didn't matter to him.
"Ding! Labor-based distribution: For this mission, Elsa has earned 5,000 Dimensional Coins. The coins have been credited to your account. Please check promptly."
Wu Liuqi: "???"
"Five thousand for Elsa?"
He was stunned.
"Think that's all?" Sam rolled his eyes. "Elsa's ice magic is no joke. Most of the low-level spirit beasts? She wiped them out herself."
Kurama nodded in agreement. Yeah, it knew that too.
Even though Elsa never bragged about it, she had definitely done a ton of work.
"So… does that mean the president got over ten thousand Dimensional Coins?"
Wu Liuqi did the math and immediately gawked at Sam.
"About thirteen thousand," Elsa said instantly, doing the math in her head.
"Please adopt me~ President~!"
Wu Liuqi shamelessly grabbed Sam's leg, tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.
Sam: "…."
He seriously wanted to kick him off.
Ding! "You have one lottery chance. Would you like to draw?"
"Yes/No."
Elsa nodded—yes.
Ding! "Congratulations! You've won some tech from the State of Stan."
"The State of Stan?" Sam stepped forward, curious. "You actually got this?"
Wu Liuqi: "Stan?"
He was familiar with the country's name—back when he'd lost his memory, he was planning to earn money there to treat his brain.
Kurama, meanwhile, didn't care much about tech. At its current strength, unless the tech was insanely powerful, it couldn't hurt him anyway.
"This is pretty good."
Elsa smiled in satisfaction. Clearly, this lottery prize was valuable to her.
Her nation was still primitive. Anything too advanced she couldn't use yet—and honestly, would just sit there helpless. But the early-stage tech she got from Stan would push her country's development forward significantly.
"Why do you guys keep getting the good stuff?"
Wu Liuqi glanced at the 0.01 Okamoto in his hand and exuded a cloud of bad luck vibes.
"Lottery luck depends on the person… basically, it's about luck," Sam teased, smirking at Wu Liuqi. "Looks like you're African, Wu Liuqi."
"Maybe not," Wu Liuqi chuckled. "Think about it—who got all the useless stuff when they drew our abilities…?"
Elsa and Kurama covered their mouths, trying not to laugh. They clearly remembered Sam's expression when he drew junk—priceless.
Wu Liuqi's comment immediately darkened Sam's face.
"Hmph! I'll make you eat your words!!!"
He puffed up his chest and ran aside to wash his face.
Everyone else: "…wow, you're so dramatic~"
"Robin, I want to claim my mission reward."
Ding! "Labor-based distribution: For this mission, the president earned 13,000 Dimensional Coins. Coins have been credited to your account. Please check promptly."
Everyone had more or less calculated the coin distribution by now, so no one was surprised.
Ding! "You have one lottery chance. Would you like to draw?"
"Yes/No."
"Yes."
Ding! "Congratulations! You've unlocked Kekkei Genkai: Wood Release."
Wu Liuqi: "…."Elsa "…."Kurama: "…."
"You're seriously cheating!!!"
Sam shrugged helplessly. "I swear I'm not! I haven't touched this lottery at all. The Super Dimensional Mercenary Guild handled the draw for me!"
…
After a little chit-chat, everyone began to leave.
They'd been away for so long, who knew how much time had passed in their own worlds? Better not worry their friends and family. Though it probably hadn't been that long.
"Even if I have Wood Release… I don't know any jutsu to use it with!!!"
After everyone left, Sam sneaked a peek at his new power and realized… he couldn't do a single ninja technique.
It was like a master chef trying to cook without ingredients.
"Guild… you're useless…"
Ding! "Notice: First Super Dimensional Mercenary Mission complete. The system will begin upgrading, estimated time: 24 hours.
During the upgrade, the Super Dimensional Mercenary Guild will be offline. All members cannot log in (except the president), and all functions will be unavailable. Please take note.
Upgrade begins in 10 minutes. Please prepare accordingly."
