Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#170 - Unlimited lottery

While Liang Yue was cultivating, the dwarves were naturally not idle. After several days of exploration and searching, they were now able to master the correct method of opening the main gate of the Lonely Mountain City from the inside.

However, now that the dwarves' armies from various families had not yet arrived, for safety reasons, they had to temporarily delay the opening of the gate, and constantly guard it to prevent the occurrence of unnecessary crises.

Even after sending Thorin into the bedroom, the white-bearded dwarf personally pulled Liang Yue to block the previous passage as well.

After completing all of this and leaving a batch of food for the others as supplies, Liang Yue was just about to pull Alwen aside for a private chat when...

Turning his head, he found that this princess had disappeared!

Looking around, and unable to find her, Liang Yue could only shrug helplessly and come alone to one of the few balconies on the outer wall of Lonely Mountain that connected to the outside world.

Casually setting up a lava oven for himself, putting on a wire rack, and placing a pile of nuts and sweet potatoes on top, Liang Yue sat down on a nearby stone.

While roasting the fire, he began to check the contents of this system permission upgrade on his own.

After reading the information in his mind, and setting aside some minor details, Liang Yue quickly summarized these information into several key points.

First, and also the most important content of this permission upgrade, was the opening of the Instance Module!

Specifically, according to the system's description, the operation was similar to Liang Yue's usual lottery mode.

Taking his own strength and various physical attributes as the standard to determine the lottery range, and then conduct a random draw.

However, the contents of the drawn prizes were changed from specific items, skills, etc. in the heavens and myriad worlds to instances with a more special form of existence.

The opening, placement, and even selection of the instances need to be done within the base world, so Liang Yue is temporarily unable to obtain more specific information.

The second permission content is closely related to the villagers in the base world.

That is, after this upgrade, the system actually created a dialogue platform, which in its construction, obviously borrowed from popular software such as QQ, WeChat, and Weibo in the real world.

To some extent, this is also a relatively significant content upgrade item.

However, currently in Liang Yue's village, there are only Teacher Shizuka, Senior Sister Zi, and the five of them, plus a female eagle Rachel, which is far from enough to unleash the potential of this platform.

Now, the opening button of this platform is appearing in a very perfunctory form on the light screen in front of Liang Yue.

So much so that he is now a little unsure whether to start this platform immediately~

The third item of this permission upgrade is a relatively vague and general multiple-choice question.

According to the system's description, his current choice will determine the future evolution direction of the base world!

And, to a certain extent, it will affect the prize range when drawing lottery benefits~!

"Martial arts... or magic..."

"I say, System, are the options for the world evolution direction a little too few?"

"If you really want me to choose, of course I will choose Xianxia! Is there even a need to consider it?"

"Although the magic and martial arts worlds encompass a lot of civilization information, if you really want to talk about good things, it has to be the Xianxia world~"

"Ding~! Based on the host's current strength level and the level of the base world, it is temporarily impossible to link with the Immortal Dao plane. In other words, the host's current choice is only an intermediate item in a transitional period.

It will affect the evolutionary direction of the base world to a certain extent, but it is not inevitable."

"Okay, since you've said so, then I..."

Looking at the simple options on the light screen in front of him, Liang Yue subconsciously grabbed a handful of peanuts from the oven and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing a few mouthfuls, but his eyes were shining brightly.

After a long while, he swallowed the crushed nuts hard into his throat, and then Liang Yue opened his mouth to decide.

"Let's choose martial arts, this is at least a little safer. Magic, this thing, seems to have a lot of power, and it is more compatible with the foundation of the MC world, but the shortcomings are also very obvious."

"Especially in the early stage, the melee ability is scarce. Even Gandalf, who is known as the Berserker Mage, has very limited real fighting ability. Look at this Middle-earth world.

I can probably imagine what the base world will look like after continuing to upgrade the demons."

"Ding~! Martial arts option command confirmed, updating the upgrade curve of the base world..."

...

Temporarily ignoring what the system is busy with, Liang Yue turned his attention to the fourth after making a choice.

That is, the last item after the permission update.

To be precise, this fourth item is not a specific permission, but a lottery opportunity automatically given to Liang Yue by the system after updating his system permissions to level two.

According to the system's description, this kind of lottery opportunity is very special and will only be given once as a bonus each time the permission is upgraded.

In this lottery benefit, the lottery range will be completely open, without any restrictions, and without reference to factors such as the lottery participant's strength, so this mode is also called 《Unlimited Lottery》 by the system!

Liang Yue naturally has 12 points of expectation for this~!

Because he knows that although to some extent, he may indeed get only the lowest level prizes such as a pistol, a watch, or even a gem in this lottery without a lower limit.

But similarly, with the unlimited characteristics of this lottery mode, he is also very likely to soar into the sky!

Not to mention directly standing on the top floor, but at least he can have one more trump card that can play a role at a critical moment!

Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it all depends on his luck now~

Thinking of this, Liang Yue couldn't help but have many metaphysical thoughts in his heart for a while.

Based on the idea that it is better to believe it than not, this guy immediately moved his mind, and instantly used the convenience of the system to connect his mind to the treasure room under the library of the base world.

After a while, Liang Yue summoned a gilded incense burner from the Qing Dynasty palace from inside.

With a flip of his sleeve, he took out a palm-sized piece of sandalwood, only to see this guy dip it in the lava, threw it into the incense burner, and closed the lid.

When the hollow pattern of the incense burner began to slowly drift out with fragrance, Liang Yue stretched his head over, sniffed it lightly, and then sat back in his seat with a deliberately intoxicated look.

"System~ I want to draw a lottery!"
