Chapter 213: Chapter 181: Eh! Got it! I got it!
Midnight.
Under Lin Li’s watch, it was the 30th, Monday, and a new week had arrived.
The new UI interface had once again improved, with a few new gray buttons appearing. However, there was currently no text, nor could they be interacted with.
Skipping over this part, Lin Li clicked into the [Shop] and exchanged for a "Probe Bag," bringing his stock to 2, with a remaining system currency balance of 260.
Then, with the opportunity to refresh, Lin Li once again chose to use it on the second product slot, swapping the "Probe Bag."
[You have refreshed "Luck Symbol": 150 system currency (limit 1 per day), do you want to replace it?]
[Luck Symbol: Drop blood on it and attach it to the body to use. Once used, it will greatly enhance the user’s luck for one minute.
Once the enhanced luck is exhausted, the symbol will prematurely expire.
Two of these symbols cannot be used simultaneously, and using two consecutively with less than a three-day interval will result in a backlash of luck, greatly lowering luck below the normal value for a while.]
It’s like a sibling to the "Poop Suppression Talisman," but in terms of price, it’s three times as much, costing 150 system currency.
But if it can enhance luck, this mysterious thing might be worth the price.
Especially since I really need some luck right now.
[You have purchased "Luck Symbol" *1.]
[You have purchased "Random Quality Spirit Stone" *1.]
With two purchases, Lin Li’s balance was down to a measly 90, breaking below three digits.
But Lin Li swapped it very decisively.
Because in terms of luck, he had never won on the "Random Quality Spirit Stone."
Now with a forced boost, there’s no way I could still lose, right?
However, before using it, Lin Li opened a few games, pausing the interface on the lottery sections.
This way, if the "Random Quality Spirit Stone" doesn’t exhaust the luck boosted by the "Luck Symbol," the remaining minute can be ’wasted’ on these.
Game items can be redeemed for cash; every little bit counts. It’s just a pity Lin Li can’t buy a lottery ticket offline; otherwise, he’d likely hit at least a second prize.
As for the first prize, who knows if it’s even in the pool; that’s beyond what luck alone can achieve.
The "Luck Symbol" and the "Limit Breaking Symbol" are the same size and seem to be made of the same material, only differing in the design on them.
If only I could make these talismans myself someday. System, be helpful; it’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Pricking a finger, dripping blood, Lin Li took a deep breath and applied it to the back of his hand.
There was no sensation, probably similar to the effect of a "Limit Breaking Symbol."
[You have used "Random Quality Spirit Stone" *1.]
[You have obtained "Spiritual Spring" *1.]
The talisman paper immediately fell off Lin Li’s hand, losing all its luster.
All the enhanced luck was exhausted in less than a second, even faster than Bai Bufan.
But it was worth it.
0.1%, a chance of one in a thousand, finally got it.
Better not to trust my luck in the future.
Lin Li, worried that the "Spiritual Spring" might be liquid, specifically ran to the bathroom before manifesting it.
It was a pale round basin with a diameter of about twenty centimeters, quite weighty. Lin Li could barely support it with one hand, holding it perfectly with both hands.
The whole basin was as crystalline as jade, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
In the center of the basin was a small hole, and the once dry bottom, at Lin Li’s inspection, now gradually turned a bit damp.
When Lin Li touched the moist bottom, instinctively channeling it, the spiritual qi was instantly absorbed, and the bottom became dry again.
This was a ’spring eye’ that would continuously produce either spiritual qi or spiritual liquid, Lin Li concluded.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Li got up and returned to his room, taking out a low-grade spirit stone that was emptied and placing it over the spring eye.
"It really works." Lin Li exclaimed.
After three minutes, it was visibly apparent that the spirit stone’s interior began circulating the crystalline essence again, while the area around the spring eye remained dry.
This purchase was the right choice.
Although the spiritual spring might dry up, given its probability of appearance, it should at least cultivate a hundred low-grade spirit stones, maybe even hundreds or a thousand.
This amount is enough for Lin Li to alleviate the current spiritual qi scarcity issue.
Moreover, for Lin Li now, it’s possible to derive the formula "Luck Symbol" + "Random Quality Spirit Stone" = "Spiritual Spring."
Equivalent to having a fixed cost of 170 system currency to purchase one Spiritual Spring.
It would have been helpful if the "Luck Symbol" had come out sooner; all that suffering and wasted spending before.
But there’s no point in regretting; buying early to enjoy early, buying late to enjoy discounts, Lin Li is not one to look back.
Now the important thing is to activate some tasks and accumulate some system currency.
Before going to sleep, Lin Li placed multiple empty spirit stones in the "Spiritual Spring" and also covered it with a wash basin — to prevent any possible evaporation and dissipation of spiritual qi and liquid.
"Brother, I know you rely on arrays to protect yourself in the Cultivation Realm, but our conditions are a bit rough now. Hang in there; once I ascend, I’ll get you a big house."
Using a stainless steel wash basin usually used for dirty clothes to cover the "Spiritual Spring," Lin Li couldn’t hold back a smile.
What a spectacular collision between the Cultivation Realm and the modern world!
All things have a spirit, mosquitoes excluded, so Lin Li intends to PUA the "Spiritual Spring" a bit, encouraging it to work harder.
