"Why would I waste my expensive lotion on this piece of trash?"
After saying that, she calmly wiped the blood from the Storage Ring using Wu Chaochang’s own clothes before taking out a small bottle of sanitiser and cleaning her hands.
Only after making sure no blood remained did she stand up.
This entire sequence of smooth actions completely dumbfounded Su Mo.
He slowly lowered his gaze toward the unconscious Wu Chaochang.
A hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
Poor fellow... He had just lost a finger because Qingxi didn’t want to waste her lotion.
Of course, pity was one thing. Healing him was another.
Su Mo still had an important battle waiting for him later, and there was no reason to waste spiritual energy on someone who would soon become his enemy again.
After silently apologising to Wu Chaochang in his heart, Su Mo decisively ignored the unconscious man lying on the floor and shifted his attention elsewhere.
"So?"
He looked toward Yang Qingxi with curiosity.
"Is there anything good inside?"
Yang Qingxi had already finished taking a quick look through the Storage Ring. She nodded lightly before handing it over to him.
"It’s decent."
"You can see for yourself."
Su Mo accepted the ring and immediately sent his spiritual sense inside to inspect its contents. At almost the same moment, a familiar notification sounded within Yang Qingxi’s mind.
[Ding! You have snatched Destiny Protagonist Wu Chaochang’s Storage Ring, taking away the cultivation resources he had accumulated over the years!]
[Wu Chaochang’s Luck: -700]
[You have obtained 7000 Luck Points!]
The corners of Yang Qingxi’s lips slowly curved upward.
Before she could even appreciate the reward, another series of notifications followed.
[Ding!]
[Wu Chaochang’s Current Luck: 0]
[Congratulations! You have completely plundered the Luck of Destiny Protagonist Wu Chaochang!]
[Wu Chaochang has lost the status of Destiny Protagonist and is no longer protected by Heaven. (Note: You may deal with him as you deem fit.)]
[You have received one Special Lottery Opportunity!]
A bright smile immediately bloomed across Yang Qingxi’s face.
’Another lottery.’
’I hope this one finally gives me something good.’
Just as she was about to start the draw, she suddenly paused.
’No...’
’Maybe I should increase my options first.’
Although she had little confidence in obtaining a Special Ability, increasing the available affinities would at least improve her chances of receiving another useful technique.
Thinking of that, she immediately checked her remaining Luck Points.
[Balance: 21960 Luck Points]
Yang Qingxi nodded to herself.
’That’s enough.’
Without any hesitation, she opened the system store.
[Store]
[Random Affinity Box: 20,000 Luck Points]
[(Note: The current price will double after each purchase.)]
Her cheerful expression instantly stiffened.
She silently stared at the small note beneath the item.
’The next one becomes forty thousand...’
’Then eighty thousand...’
’One hundred and sixty thousand...’
’Three hundred and twenty thousand...’
The more she calculated, the heavier her heart became.
She suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure pressing onto her shoulders.
Poverty... It’s so terrifying.
After gritting her teeth, she finally purchased the box before quietly muttering to herself,
"I hope the next protagonist has really high luck."
"High luck?"
Su Mo looked up from the Storage Ring with a puzzled expression.
"Aren’t you worried the next protagonist might become too powerful for us to deal with?"
"Scared? Afraid?"
Yang Qingxi clenched her fist. Her beautiful eyes turned bloodshot as she stared straight at him.
"Is there anything...scarier than being poor?"
Su Mo froze.
He stared at Yang Qingxi in complete silence.
Just...
What exactly had the lack of Luck Points done to his Qingxi?
She was a young lady born into one of the most influential families in the country, someone who had probably never worried about money for a single day in her life.
Yet now... Her system had turned her into someone who feared poverty more than powerful enemies.
For some reason... he found it strangely amusing.
Suppressing the urge to laugh, Su Mo straightened his expression before speaking with complete sincerity.
"I’m with you. We’ll face everything together."
Yang Qingxi immediately broke into a satisfied grin before happily opening the Random Affinity Box.
The next moment, the result appeared before her.
Her third elemental affinity was...
"...Yin?"
Yang Qingxi blinked before nodding in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
"Looks like I can finally learn the Lunar Forms of the White Moon Sect."
Standing beside her, Su Mo also reminded her.
"And don’t forget. You can also learn my Transformation Technique."
"From now on, you won’t need me to cast it for you anymore."
Yang Qingxi slapped her forehead.
"Right! How could I forget that legendary mis-ranked technique?"
Su Mo chuckled.
"That’s true. Even if it’s officially classified as an E-Rank technique, its practical value is no less than many S-Rank techniques."
Yang Qingxi nodded in agreement before finally beginning her Special Lottery.
The familiar roulette slowly started spinning.
Although she had already accepted that Lady Luck never favored her, she still couldn’t help secretly hoping the pointer would miraculously stop on the Special Ability section.
Unfortunately...
Reality remained as disappointing as ever.
The pointer smoothly passed every Special Ability.
It ignored every legendary reward.
Finally... It stopped at the Special Technique section.
Yang Qingxi quietly sighed.
’Well... A Special Technique isn’t bad either.’
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Su Mo became curious.
"What did you get?"
Yang Qingxi looked toward him.
"A Special Technique. It’s called... Curse Technique."
Su Mo’s eyebrows immediately rose.
"Curses?"
He thought for a moment before asking,
"What kind of curses? Can you simply curse someone to death?"
Yang Qingxi shook her head.
"Not yet. For now, I can only inflict relatively simple curse effects like Weakness, Fear, or Slowness."
She paused briefly.
"As I continue developing the technique, I’ll gradually unlock more curse effects."
Su Mo’s expression subtly changed.
"Is it limited to one target...or can it affect multiple people?"
Yang Qingxi answered honestly.
"Both. It depends on my cultivation and how far I develop the technique."
