This sound, to Jiang Han, was no different from the sound of heaven. In an instant, he felt his mind clear and his whole body relaxed...

"Use it, of course, use it!" Jiang Han nodded without hesitation.

Come on, he was now truly penniless. Although this lottery opportunity seemed unlikely to yield anything good, at least it gave him a glimmer of hope!

As soon as he spoke, the light screen flashed and turned into a circular wheel. Jiang Han focused his gaze and immediately felt an urge to smash the wheel!

The wheel had six sections, labeled Grand Prize, First Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize, Consolation Prize, and Thank You for Your Support. This kind of thing was not uncommon on Earth. Generally, the probability of drawing Thank You for Your Support or Consolation Prize was the highest, and he could accept that.

But what made him furious was that the Consolation Prize and Thank You for Your Support took up 90% of the entire circle!

What the hell! This is a scam!

He didn't believe for a second that he could draw anything above Third Prize!

"Can I ask what the specific rewards are?" Jiang Han forced himself to calm down and asked patiently.

"Random." The system was concise.

"Alright, alright!" Jiang Han took a deep breath and gently touched the "Draw" text in the center of the wheel.

Whoosh!

The pointer on the wheel started spinning rapidly. Jiang Han watched it intently, silently praying, "Heaven, please, heaven, please, it must be the Grand Prize, it must be the Grand Prize..."

Ten minutes later...

"Heaven, please, heaven, please..." Jiang Han muttered, suddenly realizing something was wrong. Why hadn't it stopped after so long?!

"Damn it!" Jiang Han cursed. The "Draw" text in the center of the wheel had changed to "Stop."

He pointed and pressed the "Stop" text firmly...

The pointer's speed began to slow down. Jiang Han felt tense, his hand tightly clenched, and his eyes wide open.

"Grand Prize, Grand Prize... First Prize, First Prize... Second... What the...!!!" Jiang Han shouted, his face showing extreme anger, "Are you kidding me!! Even if you don't give me the Grand Prize or First Prize, at least give me a Consolation Prize! What does 'Thank You for Your Support' mean?? Are you playing with me!!"

"Do you have two more chances to draw. Would you like to continue?" The system ignored Jiang Han's outburst and spoke mechanically.

Jiang Han's eyes twitched, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly shouted, "Draw! I don't believe it!!"

Saying that, he gritted his teeth and punched the "Draw" text hard.

The wheel spun wildly, and without pausing, Jiang Han punched it again.

To avoid further disappointment, Jiang Han closed his eyes and silently estimated the time.

"Damn, I can't open my eyes." Jiang Han squeezed his eyes shut, afraid that he would see "Thank You for Your Support" again.

After a long moment of hesitation, Jiang Han took a deep breath and quickly opened one eye, then closed it again.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Jiang Han could feel his heart beating like a drum, his chest heaving as if he was afraid of running out of breath.

"Did I see it wrong? I think I saw the Grand Prize?" Jiang Han tried to calm his excitement, cautiously opening one eye, then the other, and both eyes were wide open.

"Congratulations, you have won the Second Prize! The reward has been automatically added to your backpack." The system's cold voice rang out.

"Damn! It wasn't the Grand Prize? How did it become the Second Prize?" Jiang Han rubbed his eyes, confirming that the pointer was indeed on the Second Prize section, then gritted his teeth, "Tell me, did you secretly change it!"

"The lottery strictly follows the rules, and I have no authority to change them." The system replied.

Jiang Han's eyes were full of suspicion, but after a moment of thought, he sighed in resignation. When he looked, the pointer seemed to still be moving... However, the Second Prize wasn't bad, at least it wasn't "Thank You for Your Support"...

"You have one more chance to draw. Would you like to continue?"

"Wait a moment." Jiang Han suddenly remembered the backpack the system mentioned and asked, "Where is the backpack? How do I see it?"

"Just think about it."

Jiang Han thought about it, and a light screen suddenly appeared on his left. He was already used to the system's abilities, so he just smiled. This was even better than the legendary spatial ring!

The backpack was divided into grids. Jiang Han counted, and there were 100 grids, meaning it could hold 100 items.

At the moment, only the Second Prize occupied one grid.

Jiang Han placed his finger on the Second Prize and gently tapped it.

"Would you like to open the reward package now?" The system's voice asked. Jiang Han didn't hesitate and confirmed.

"The reward package is opening..."

"Congratulations, you have received a Gold-level equipment: Laser Sword!"

"Congratulations, you have received a Gold-level item: Ice Soul Technique!"

"Congratulations, you have received a Silver-level item: Ghost Step (Incomplete)!"

"Congratulations, you have received a Silver-level item: Bone Cleansing Pill!"

"Congratulations, you have received a Bronze-level item: Golden Wound Medicine * 50!"

"Congratulations, you have received a Bronze-level item: Essence Restoring Pill * 50!"

The system's voice kept ringing in his ears, and for the first time, Jiang Han felt that the system's voice was so pleasant!

Gold-level! With his current resources, he couldn't even exchange for a Gold-level item! No, not even a Bronze-level one!

Jiang Han's hand trembled as he touched the Laser Sword.

Whoosh!

The moment his hand touched the Laser Sword icon, the Laser Sword disappeared from the backpack, and he held a long, thick... flashlight.

Jiang Han confirmed that the Laser Sword looked exactly like the flashlight he used on Earth, just a bit slimmer.

He had seen the use of Laser Swords in sci-fi movies, so he directly pressed the button on the handle.

Swoosh!

A light beam about 1.5 meters long emerged from the handle, with a pale blue glow that was dreamlike.

Jiang Han lightly touched the tip of the sword to the ground, and silently, a round hole appeared on the surface!

"Great stuff!" Jiang Han's mouth stretched to his ears. This Laser Sword would definitely be a secret weapon in combat!

Imagine, two people fighting, evenly matched, and you suddenly press the button, the light beam shoots out, and you instantly defeat the enemy! Jiang Han chuckled, a mischievous look on his clear face, which seemed contradictory.

Jiang Han had no doubt about the Laser Sword's power!

This is a Gold-level equipment! Right, and the attributes. The moment he touched the Laser Sword, its attributes appeared in his mind.

[Laser Sword] (Weapon)

Description: A high-tech product from the mechanical world, with a complex structure that can absorb the power of the sun and moon to supply its energy, extremely sharp.

Level: Gold

Jiang Han smacked his lips. This description... was as good as no description at all!

However, the ability to absorb the power of the sun and moon resolved his confusion. He had been wondering about the Laser Sword's power source, but it turned out to be the power of the sun and moon.

After playing with it for a while, he reluctantly put the Laser Sword back in the backpack and took out the Ice Soul Technique.

[Ice Soul Technique] (Cultivation Technique)

Description: A cultivation technique from the cultivation world, an ice attribute technique. When cultivated to perfection, it can freeze thousands of miles. However, it is said that even the creator of this technique did not achieve perfection, the reason being unknown.

Level: Gold

"Discovered Ice Soul Technique, would you like to learn it?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Jiang Han answered, the Ice Soul Technique turned into a beam of light and entered his mind. At the same time, a cold sensation swept over his body, and almost instantly, a layer of frost covered him.

After a while, Jiang Han shivered, and the frost disappeared. His face showed a thoughtful expression, and he extended his right hand, a cold aura rising.

The Ice Soul Technique had five levels. In this short time, he had already learned the first level, or rather, the system had taught him!

While marveling at the system's capabilities, Jiang Han was also secretly delighted. This would save him a lot of time, and it was even more useful than a powerful master!

He thought for a moment, and the skill bar in his mind showed "Ice Soul Technique" with a proficiency level.

In other words, as long as his proficiency was high enough, he could directly learn the remaining levels of the Ice Soul Technique!

"Ha ha ha..." Jiang Han laughed inwardly. With this system, how could he not become powerful!

After barely suppressing his joy, Jiang Han turned his attention to the Ghost Step.

[Ghost Step (Incomplete)] (Martial Skill)

Description: A martial skill from the wuxia world, named for its ghostly, traceless movements. Originally a Legendary-level skill, but due to its incompleteness, it is now Gold-level.

Level: Gold

"Discovered Ghost Step, would you like to learn it?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Han was shocked. The incomplete version was Gold-level, and the complete version was Legendary-level!

Heaven, that's a world-class martial skill, second only to the Legendary level!... Of course, Jiang Han automatically ignored the Dream level, with 100 million points required, who knew when he could unlock it.

Like the Ice Soul Technique, he directly learned the Ghost Step, but because it was incomplete, it only had two levels.

[Bone Cleansing Pill] (Pill)

Description: A pill from the cultivation world, used to improve one's innate talent. Only the first pill is effective.

Level: Silver

Jiang Han's face showed a strange expression. He suddenly realized that the six items drawn from the lottery seemed to be perfectly suited for his current situation.

Cultivation technique, weapon, pill... all things he desperately needed!

However, he didn't think too much about it. As long as it benefited him, that was enough! As for exploring the system's secrets... he had no interest, and even if he did, he had no ability to do so...

Just as he was about to look at the remaining two pills, the door opened, and Jiang Han was startled, turning his head to see his mother bringing in the meal.

"Finished!" Jiang Han cried out in his heart. The system hadn't been put away, and his mother must have seen it!

His mind raced, a flurry of thoughts flashing through his mind. He needed a reason, a reason that wouldn't make his mother suspicious!
