A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 202 Another draw

Ji Lin sat leisurely on the top floor of the Zhutian Restaurant, with exquisite tea sets and delicious snacks laid out in front of him. He took a sip of fragrant tea, feeling the fresh and elegant aroma spread on his tongue.

Just then, a light sound of footsteps came from far away.

Before long, Shen Wansan and the four of them—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—appeared on the top floor of the Zhutian Restaurant.

They spotted Ji Lin sitting there enjoying tea and immediately shouted in unison, "Greetings, Master!" Their voices were so clear and resonant that they echoed throughout the entire rooftop.

Ji Lin smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and said, "Please, everyone, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat." The crowd followed suit and took their seats.

After everyone was seated, Ji Lin got straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit to Dongyi City: to check how well Shen Wansan was managing his forces.

Shen Wansan dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately began to give Ji Lin a detailed report.

He spoke at length about the development of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Zhutian Restaurant during this period, which made Ji Lin nod repeatedly.

It must be said that Shen Wansan was indeed a business genius. Under his careful management, the scale of Zhutian Restaurant and Jinyiwei continued to expand, and their influence grew day by day. Their development speed far exceeded Ji Lin's initial expectations.

After listening to Shen Wansan's report, Ji Lin nodded in satisfaction, expressing his great appreciation for Shen's work.

Then, Ji Lin stood up and gestured for Shen Wansan to take him to visit the basement of the Zhutian Restaurant.

When the two entered the basement, the sight before them astonished Ji Lin.

The spacious basement was filled with all kinds of gold and silver treasures, their dazzling light almost blinding; there were also rows of neatly arranged weapons and armor, their cold gleam radiating a chilling aura.

Ji Lin stepped forward without any hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, instantly put three of the boxes full of money into his system space.

Then, he stood there for a moment, pondering how to use this wealth for a second lottery draw.

Ji Lin stared wide-eyed at the slowly rotating lottery wheel in his mind, his anger burning fiercely. He couldn't help but curse, "This damned system!"

The system's lottery rules state that each ten-draw requires a full ten thousand taels of Qing Yu Nian currency. Now, the system has popped up an additional message stating that as Ji Lin's forces continue to grow, the amount of currency required for the pay-to-win lottery will gradually increase according to different levels.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin was so angry he almost fainted. He glanced helplessly at the three large boxes he had put into his system space, secretly calculating that all these boxes together were only enough for a mere hundred lottery draws.

After cursing fiercely, Ji Lin gritted his teeth and decided to start the lottery first.

He took a deep breath, reached out and clicked the lottery button. Instantly, the huge disc began to spin rapidly like a wild horse.

At the same time, the system's crisp notification sounds rang out continuously: "Ding, ding, ding, ding..."

Hearing this series of annoying sounds, Ji Lin frowned impatiently and yelled at the system, "Turn off this stupid notification sound right now! It's so noisy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell silent.

After quite a while, the lottery finally ended.

The system automatically generated a detailed list showing all the items won in the lottery.

Ji Lin glanced at the list quickly and found that apart from a few useful items, most of the rest were random and nonsensical things.

So, without hesitation, he took all those miscellaneous things out of the system space, threw them aside, and prepared to hand them over to Shen Wansan to deal with.

Then, Ji Linshun pointed at Shen Wansan and briefly explained the uses and value of these items to him.

After giving his instructions, Ji Lin calmly took out five exquisite wooden boxes from his pocket. He gently opened one of the boxes, and inside were five round, crystal-clear pills that emitted a faint fragrance.

These pills are called Limit-Breaking Pills. Each one contains a mysterious and powerful medicinal force, allowing the user to directly advance to a higher realm without any side effects.

Next, Ji Lin took out several more gleaming weapons. These weapons were all obtained through a lottery, and each one was a peerless divine weapon, capable of cutting through iron like mud and severing a hair with a breath. Whether it was a sword, spear, halberd, axe, hook, or fork, each was a rare treasure in the world.

Finally, Ji Lin presented five small and exquisite storage rings, which were extremely precious treasures that could hold a large number of items and were easy to carry.

He handed all these treasures to Shen Wansan and the other three, including Qinglong, and said with a smile, "You can distribute these things among yourselves."

After saying that, Ji Lin's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot like a ghost. The next moment, he appeared in the distant Danzhou.

Ji Lin had only been gone for a short while, but the scene inside the training ground had already changed completely.

Fan Xian was lying on the ground in a sorry state. He was completely overwhelmed by Wu Zhu's fierce attacks and had no strength left to even get up. He could only lie there motionless like a dead fish, trying to play dead to escape the next attack.

Ji Lin looked at Fan Xian lying on the ground, shook his head helplessly, then walked over and pulled Fan Xian up from the ground.

Immediately afterward, with a thought, he activated the magical power of the horse talisman within his body. A soft green light surged from his palm, slowly enveloping Fan Xian's entire body.

In the blink of an eye, Fan Xian's fatigue from martial arts practice vanished, and he became refreshed and energetic.

Fan Xian, now refreshed, was overjoyed. When Ji Lin handed him a brand-new storage ring and explained how to use it, Fan Xian was so excited that he danced around and cheered.

Just then, a light footstep sound came, and it turned out that Ye Qingmei had arrived at the training ground.

Seeing Fan Xian's excited and animated appearance from afar, she felt an overwhelming sense of curiosity rising within her.

So, she walked briskly towards Fan Xian, her steps light and swift.

Once she got closer, she couldn't wait to ask, "What happened?"

Fan Xian looked at his mother with a big smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He quickly explained the reason to Ye Qingmei.

After listening to her son's account, Ye Qingmei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the whole story.

Just then, Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, silently took out an exquisite storage ring from his pocket and threw it to Ye Qingmei without hesitation.

Ye Qingmei caught the flying storage ring, a look of resentment on her face, and glared reproachfully at Ji Lin.

However, Ji Lin seemed oblivious, turning around and walking towards the comfortable sofa next to the training ground. He sat down leisurely, put on a pair of cool sunglasses, and then lay down comfortably.

After lying down, Ji Lin did not stop there. Instead, he closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and slowly sank his consciousness into the mysterious system space.

Upon entering the system space, the first thing that catches the eye is a neatly arranged array of character summoning cards, each emitting a faint glow.

These summoning cards seem to possess endless magic, each representing a specific type of outstanding talent.

Moreover, Ji Lin can not only choose the type of talent to summon at will, but also freely decide to place these people in any suitable position according to actual needs.

Even more impressively, when these summoned characters appear, the system automatically constructs a complete and reasonable world background for them.

At the same time, Ji Lin can even communicate directly with these people through his consciousness and clearly tell them the tasks they need to complete.
