Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times-Chapter 734 - 247: So, Next... Let’s Start Betting!_4
Chapter 734 -247: So, Next… Let’s Start Betting!_4
They had all heard of Chen Qiu’s deeds and knew that his journey had been one filled with miracles. Buying an Array Plate with a few Spirit Stones was not for any particular reason, but just in the hope that it could bring a bit of good luck when facing a crisis.
A few Spirit Stones couldn’t save your life at a critical moment, but having an Array Plate offered some psychological comfort. Seeing the encouragement engraved behind the Array Plate that Chen Qiu had used, they felt their spirit bolstered significantly.
In fact, many times people, when facing hardships, are like climbers halfway up a mountain. All it might take is one breath of encouragement for them to rush to the top. However, if they become fearful due to physical exhaustion and realize there is still a distance to the summit, with no way to retreat, once their spirit deflates, their legs will go weak.
But although they had bought the Array Plate, this was their first time seeing Chen Qiu’s formation in person, as they had only seen it through a Memory Stone before.
“Phew…”
Chen Qiu placed the Memory Stone into his chest pocket and then once again tossed ten thousand Spirit Stones into the well engraved with the words “entry prize pool”.
Once, twice, three times, four times.
The water surface still showed no ripples, as if the stones had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Until the seventh time, there was still no yield.
The shopkeeper, who stood by with a forced smile, was now sweating profusely, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, as he stammered, “That… that…”
He wanted to explain, but didn’t know how, since it was normal for someone to miss seven times in a row!
It was beyond normal, in fact. There were even cases of missing twenty times in a row, so what was so strange about that?
However, that was for those of low cultivation. For a Void Refining expert to draw once required as many as ten thousand Spirit Stones, and yet no Void Refining expert could throw out two hundred thousand Spirit Stones without even blinking an eye. In Xuantian State, no Void Refining cultivator had such financial fortune.
But that’s for normal people!
This gentleman hit the jackpot on his first attempt, and twice on his second. Now on his third attempt, having missed seven times, the shopkeeper truly feared that this gentleman couldn’t handle the psychological drop and would blame him for it. He was really scared!
Finally—
On the eighth attempt, a jade slip slowly emerged on the surface of the water.
“…”
Chen Qiu picked up the entry jade slip, nodded calmly at the shopkeeper, and then turned and strode towards the Heavenly Hall Inn. There were too many people here; he would wait until he was back at the inn to slowly check the entry effect.
At first, he was somewhat puzzled, wondering why he had won so quickly yesterday, but today it took much longer.
But he quickly figured it out.
The “Big Yao Nine” entry didn’t affect his chances of winning. It only meant that when he did win an entry, he was highly likely to get one related to quadruplets of the same digit. It wouldn’t make him win an entry if he was not supposed to win any.
And the fact that he won the entries twice yesterday was entirely due to his sudden luck burst.
A person’s Qi Fortune isn’t just high when using consumables like “Luck of Human Pride”; sometimes it just bursts on its own, an unstoppable wave of fortunate timing.
Some believe that a person’s Qi Fortune comes in waves of highs and lows.
Sometimes it’s high, other times it’s low.
When your Qi Fortune is high, everything goes your way, even the heavens are helping you.
When it’s low, everything fails, you might even choke on your drink.
Chen Qiu shook his head and didn’t dwell on it further. Instead, he lay on the bed, picked up his cup of tea, took a light sip, and stretched comfortably. He really did not want to sit cross-legged any longer. His legs were starting to feel numb, and sitting cross-legged was not as comfortable as lying down. It was just that he had to sit that way for cultivation practice, as sitting on the Xuantian Throne offered a speed boost to his cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the slighted desire to keep sitting there all the time.
Chen Qiu, lying on the bed, looked at the entry jade slip in his hand.
–
“entry name”: 2222.
“entry level”: Purple.
“entry effect”: Each time you break through a Great Realm, you will receive an additional opportunity for three choices.
–
“Hmm?”
Chen Qiu’s expression turned slightly odd as he looked at the entry before him. It wasn’t that the entry was too strange, but rather it was a good entry, one that was very useful to him.
He liked it very much.
However, he had always had a less than favorable impression of entries consisting of four identical numbers, as the few he had known had mediocre effects and generally came with negative side effects. He hadn’t expected to come across one without negative effects that was also quite effective, something he was still getting used to.
He liked this one.
It just so happened that after his breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm, he would get one additional chance to make three choices for an entry.
That’s right.
It is worth mentioning that when possessing all entries of four identical numbers, one must confirm whether to activate the entry effect at the moment of acquisition. It isn’t possible to use the positive effects of the entry now and then turn off the negative effects when they are undesired, only to reactivate it when the positive effects are wanted again.
One cannot repeatedly toggle the activation on and off.
The reason why the entry “9999” has this effect is simply because among other entries of four identical numbers, some may have negative effects, so as to not endure a series of negative effects while collecting the “Big Yao Nine” Heavenly Dao Term Group.
The “Dual Casting” to “Ten Layers of Spellcasting” entry group, for example, shouldn’t have similar issues, as these entries don’t have negative effects.
Of course, whether these “Ten Layers of Spellcasting” entries could form a Heavenly Dao Term Group is still uncertain, as it is only his guess without any concrete conclusion. However, based on his understanding of the nature of the Heavenly Dao, he was pretty confident in his assumption!
And so—
The third entry of four identical numbers, the Purple Entry “2222,” was successfully obtained!
–
The third day.
Chen Qiu once again arrived at the storefront punctually and after spending 60,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, on his sixth attempt, he finally drew another entry jade slip.
It was “4444.”
Another entry of four identical numbers, one he had randomly encountered before but had discarded without any consideration due to the unappealing effects of the entry, and now he had to buy it back for 60,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
Fortunately, entries can’t speak, or else he could imagine this entry’s smug face.
He also discovered that even without using something as rare as the “Luck of Human Pride,” his luck seemed a bit better than that of an ordinary person; he tended to hit the jackpot within six or seven tries under normal circumstances.
Average people would generally need twelve or thirteen attempts or even more to hit the jackpot.
Ha!
In the inn, Chen Qiu looked at the “4444” entry jade slip in his arms, his mouth curving slightly upwards with a content nod. He had initially thought it would take several months to gather the “Big Yao Nine” Heavenly Dao Term Group, but now it seemed it would happen much quicker than he had expected. In a few more days, he would have them all.
At present, he already possessed—
“1111,” “2222,” “4444,” and “9999” – these four entries of four identical numbers.
…
The fourth day.
Having cultivated through the night, Chen Qiu was once again punctually at the storefront by noon. Today, he planned to use “A Strand of Luck of Human Pride” to draw entries and also to have a go at the other prize pools.
To see if he could get lucky again.
He was quite satisfied with the last “Body Convert Technic” and the other items he got, including the special building, Demon Suppression Tower.
Although “A Strand of Luck of Human Pride” is a rather precious consumable, even the most precious of materials only realize their value when used. “Luck of Human Pride” was hard for him to use as an upgrade material, as it would seem somewhat improper; using it to draw prizes was more than apt.
So, next up…
Let’s gamble!
