Chapter 42: Winning Lottery Numbers Over the Years
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Listening to the dull thuds coming from above, Feng Qi was calm.
Although the battle between Blackie and Suction Cup was intense, it did not affect him from continuing to look at the cultivation techniques in the database.
He was just an emotionless robot going through the database.
[Pui!]
After looking through the database for a moment, he opened the detailed introduction page of a cultivation technique.
[Meditations on Heaven and Earth (Cultivation Technique)]:
Founder: Wang Dong (Milky Way Research Institute – B-grade Researcher)
Rating: Two Stars
Introduction: A cultivation technique that focuses on mental cultivation. During the cultivation of this cultivation technique, the cultivator’s mental consciousness will be tempered, and the fluidity of spell-casting will increase greatly.
Quality of Spiritual Qi obtained: B+
Compared to the Ferocious Tiger Fist and the Body Hardening Technique, the Meditations of Heaven and Earth Meditation was a cultivation technique that leaned towards using spells to fight.
He, who had already plagiarized two body cultivation techniques, felt that it was time to plagiarize spiritual cultivation techniques.
Spiritual cultivation was the same as physical cultivation. It was one of the two main schools of combat studies.
Body cultivators focused on increasing the strength of their bodies and using Spiritual Qi to temper their tendons, bones, and skin to obtain a powerful physique and strength comparable to domain creatures.
Spiritual cultivators were completely different. They mainly refined their mental consciousnesses and the quality of the Spiritual Qi in their bodies.
Mental consciousness was the guide for outlining spells. It was equivalent to a control stick. The stronger the cultivator’s mental consciousness, the more fluid the speed of outlining spells. The higher the quality of Spiritual Qi, the stronger the power of the spells.
Modern cultivators generally chose dual cultivation. Very few people would develop singularly.
Because there was no conflict between physical cultivation and spiritual cultivation and reality was not a game where you had to choose between being a warrior and a mage, one could completely choose to cultivate both.
Flexibility in using them was the most important.
After opening the cultivation technique video tutorial, Feng Qi quickly entered a learning state.
In the video, his focus was on learning the teaching model. It did not matter to him if he could learn the technique or not.
After all, after becoming a living dead, he could no longer cultivate.
As time passed, he gradually became enthralled.
The learning process was not boring for Feng Qi. Instead, there was a sense of satisfaction. It was like understanding historical stories. Every time there was a new piece of historical information in his mind, a sense of accomplishment would surge in his heart.
This was the joy of learning. It was also a form of rejection of ignorance.
This Meditations of Heaven and Earth, which was evaluated as a two-star skill, was not complicated. Other than the basic principles of the cultivation technique, the most important thing he needed to remember was the trajectory of the Spiritual Qi flowing in the body.
The process of cultivation was like playing a super complicated version of a tile-matching game. Every acupuncture point in the body was considered a connection node. Cultivators needed to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the outside world into the body. Then, they would control the Spiritual Qi to shuttle back and forth between different acupuncture points. Finally, the trajectory diagram outlined would be known as a cultivation technique.
The basic principle of cultivation techniques was the cultivator’s control over the circulation speed of Spiritual Qi, when to go fast, when to go slow, the rhythm of breathing, and so on.
Compared to cultivation technique research, the cultivation process was not difficult.
After a long time, Feng Qi, who had watched the video several times, finally remembered the teaching content. Then, he consolidated it again before exiting the video teaching interface.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting above had already disappeared, but Blackie did not come to claim his life. This proved that the Suction Cup had not been defeated.
He guessed that the duo had gradually moved away from the Star City Shelter during the battle.
While he still had time, he decided to continue looking through the other information in the database.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the search bar and typed a line of words: “winning lottery numbers over the years”
After filtering and selecting the years, strings of numbers were listed on the screen.
Unless he had no choice, he did not want to use the lottery to make money, because there were too many limitations to doing so.
The offline mode had already been eliminated in the lottery in the real world and the online mode had been fully adopted.
Purchasing lottery tickets requires a series of identity verifications on the Internet, including facial recognition and other aspects. The process is complicated.
Secondly, the government restricted the daily betting limit of citizens. Each person could only bet 2 dollars a day. The winning amount was also fixed at 5 million dollars.
After all, this was not the era of entertainment. It was fine to gamble occasionally, but the government did not allow citizens to spend a lot of energy and financial resources on lottery tickets.
In the end, even after striking the prize, one still had to go through multiple authentication processes to collect the prize money.
Therefore, the money-making method of buying lottery tickets could only be used once.
If he frequently struck the lottery, it would attract a series of unnecessary troubles. This was also the reason why he did not want to use it to earn money.
The balance on his bank card could only allow him to enter the future dream twice more. Before obtaining a stable income, he decided to use the lottery to earn a sum of money and then give up on this way of earning money.
After memorizing the number of the winning number on that day in reality, he immediately opened the “Details on Domain Fields” in the database, wanting to check the content related to them.
Especially those domain fields that had not been dispersed in reality but had been dispersed by people of the future. He hoped that the database would contain detailed records of the process of doing so.
It would be best if there was also an introduction to the weaknesses of the domain fields.
With this information, it would be of great help to him in establishing an organization to resist the Scarlet Research Institute.
Money was necessary for the rise of an organization, but it was not omnipotent.
Many rare resources produced by domain fields could not be bought by ordinary people even if they had money.
These rare resources would generally be provided to the various research institutes first, especially those special resources that could significantly increase lifespan and strength.
Since he planned to establish a powerful organization that could go against the Scarlet Research Institute, he felt that the way to obtain rare resources in the future was to set up his own domain combat team to obtain them in the domain fields.
Unlike the various research institutes, he did not have the support of the military and the various major domain combat teams. He could only rely on himself in this aspect.
Therefore, it would be very useful to obtain some knowledge related to the domain fields in advance.
As he went through it, time passed.
When the familiar voice of the narrator sounded in his ears, he turned around and saw Blackie’s figure appear in the metal passageway.
A miracle didn’t happen. Even Suction Cup, who had terrifying combat power, was defeated by Blackie.
“Goodbye, Narrator!”
[Poor b*stard, take care. I shan’t send you off!]
After clenching his fists, he pounced at Blackie without hesitation.
The moment they came into contact, his vision was enveloped by darkness. Without any suspense, he was killed instantly again.
Sitting in front of the desk and looking at the countdown timer, Feng Qi was excited.
The first thing he did after returning from the future dream was to buy a lottery ticket online.
After spending some effort to complete the verifications, he finally bought the first lottery ticket in his life. This ticket would bring him an income of five million dollars.
He waited as the lottery draw began.
However, when he saw the winning number, the smile on his face instantly froze.
“Good fellow!”
Looking at the winning number, he couldn’t help but clap.
In the past, he had always heard that the online lottery was controlled by the backend, but it could be modified at will. It was impossible for ordinary people to strike it. He did not think much of it.
But now he believed it.
He had wanted to stop after winning the lottery once, but he did not expect that he would not be given a chance. His eyes could not help but turn red.
“D*mn it!”
