Returning to his room, Chen Mo informed Sha Luo not to disturb him unless it was something important.
He then sat cross-legged on the bed.
The Seven-Colored Tiny Snake slipped out from Chen Mo's sleeve, looking pitiful and endearing.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're useful to me, I would have returned you long ago," Chen Mo muttered, annoyed by the snake's picky habits—it would only eat Fire Lotus Seeds, elixirs of at least the third grade, and drink dew. Despite his frustration, he still took out a Fire Lotus Seed and fed it to the snake.
After devouring the seed, the snake, now content, burrowed into the bedding and fell asleep once more.
"Such a lazy glutton," Chen Mo grumbled, giving the snake a sidelong glance before opening his system interface.
Most things remained unchanged.
His Luck Points still stood at 6,460.
However, the number of Fire Lotus Seeds from the Azure Lotus Core Fire Lotus Throne he had stored in the system had dwindled to seven. Originally, there were eleven, but four had been consumed by the snake.
He clicked to open the King's Treasure Chest.
As the music played and a golden light flashed, an oval-shaped, multicolored egg appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Fantasy Egg."
He clicked to view the description of the Fantasy Egg: "This is an egg capable of nurturing beings from myriad realms. The incubation period is 45 days. Upon hatching, you may randomly obtain an Ancient Ferocious Beast, a Divine Weapon, a Supreme Dharma Body, or a Fairy Saintess."
"To establish a bond between the Fantasy Egg and the host, the host must nourish it daily with a small amount of blood before it hatches."
After reading the description, Chen Mo was stunned.
If this egg were to hatch another treasure chest, wouldn't that create an endless loop?
An egg hatching a chest, a chest containing an egg...
And a 45-day waiting period?
Could this be any more of a scam?
For now, Chen Mo tossed the Fantasy Egg into his backpack and ignored it.
A happy day begins with a bit of gambling.
First, he decided to open ten Silver Treasure Boxes to get things started.
"Thank you for your support."
"Thank you for your support."
"Thank you for your support."
"..."
After ten consecutive "Thank you for your support," Chen Mo's patience was wearing thin.
"You heartless system! If I gamble again, I'll jump off this tavern!" he swore.
"Thank you for your support."
"Damn it!"
Soon after, a series of crashing sounds echoed from the room, as if something had been smashed.
He decided to try one more time, using the remaining points to buy a Calamity Breaking Pill and a Spirit Recovery Purple Pill.
"Thank you for your support."
Chen Mo's face darkened.
If the system could materialize, he would have smashed it to pieces by now.
Gambling is something that tests one's mental fortitude. When you're broke, it's easier to resist, but when you see a large balance in your account, you can't help but keep trying, especially when you keep losing. The more you lose, the more you want to keep going until your balance is depleted.
And then, you feel like you want to die.
For a while, you can't eat or sleep properly.
You keep thinking, "Why did I have to gamble? Wouldn't it have been better to save those points and buy a few skins instead?"
That's exactly how Chen Mo felt now—completely hooked.
"One more try. If I fail, I'll stop," he muttered.
"Gamble."
"Thank you for your support."
"Again."
"Thank you for your support."
"I refuse to believe this! Keep giving me 'Thank you for your support,' I dare you!"
"Thank you for your support."
"Continue."
"Healing Charm x1."
"Finally, something! Let's go again."
"Thank you for your support."
...
He kept going until only 2,160 Luck Points remained.
Aside from the single Healing Charm, everything else was "Thank you for your support."
The odds of winning with the Silver Treasure Boxes were just too low.
Chen Mo swore he would never gamble with Silver Treasure Boxes again.
With the remaining points, he couldn't buy anything or do anything meaningful.
"Gamble," he muttered one last time.
Chen Mo clicked on the Golden Treasure Box.
Perhaps all his previous bad luck had been exhausted.
The first Golden Treasure Box yielded a reward.
"Ding, obtained the Dharma Body, Hellish Salvation, Volume One."
Seeing the reward, Chen Mo specifically checked the Dharma Body section in the mall. Hellish Salvation was ranked at the top, consisting of three volumes, each worth hundreds of thousands of Luck Points.
With a slight movement of his mind, Chen Mo opened the first volume of Hellish Salvation. The entire volume was written in Sanskrit, but fortunately, the system had a hidden language translation function, allowing Chen Mo to roughly understand it.
The latest novel is first released on 69shu!
"Futu" refers to the Buddha.
When cultivated to perfection, a Buddha Dharma Body, hundreds of feet tall and presiding over the hellish world, would condense behind the practitioner.
When the Dharma Body moves, hell follows, suppressing ghosts.
It has a powerful restraining effect on ghosts and Soul Entities.
This reward was truly a huge gain.
With 1160 Luck Points remaining, Chen Mo decided not to draw again.
...
For the entire day, except for eating, drinking, and using the bathroom, Chen Mo did not leave his room.
On the second day, Chen Mo broke through to the Three-Star Dou Master.
On the third day, he began to grasp the Extreme Flame Skill.
On the fourth day, he achieved minor mastery of the Extreme Flame Skill.
On the fifth day, two more Particles awakened within his body, and the first level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength was perfected.
On the sixth day, after consuming an Advancement Pill, Chen Mo reached the Five-Star Dou Master level.
On the seventh day, he rested, focusing on improving the relationship between Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, increasing their affection.
On the eighth day, he went into seclusion to cultivate the second level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and the Devil's Wings from the Essence of Flight Technique.
On the ninth day, he continued his seclusion.
On the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth days, he remained in seclusion.
On the thirteenth day, he successfully cultivated the Devil's Wings, and during this time, another Particle awakened within him.
On the fourteenth day, he consolidated his mastery of the Devil's Wings.
On the fifteenth day, a day similar to the Qixi Festival on the Dou Qi Continent, Chen Mo set aside time to separately date the two women.
On the sixteenth day, in private, Yun Yun no longer resisted Chen Mo's embrace.
On the twenty-first day, in private, Chen Mo could freely kiss Yun Yun's lips.
On the twenty-eighth day, after days of contemplation, Chen Mo finally gained some insight into the Dharma Body, Hellish Salvation.
On the thirty-fifth day, when Chen Mo woke up, he found his hand grasping something soft. His right arm, which had previously felt empty, now held something warm and supple.
Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a nearly naked body lying beside him, almost intimately close.
His gaze moved upward.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful face that could enchant the world, Chen Mo immediately took a sharp breath.
"Queen Medusa!"
In the next moment, all the hair on Chen Mo's body stood on end, and the only thought in his mind was to escape from this place.
However, as he slowly tried to withdraw his hand, a pair of cold eyes, filled with a hint of murderous intent, stared directly at him.
"Gulp." Chen Mo's throat slightly moved.
He remembered that last night, another Particle had awakened within him.
At this moment, a total of 11 Particles had awakened within his body, and he had hoped to use the luck from the awakening to break through to the Five-Star Dou Master.
However, he found that the required energy was insufficient, so he consumed three Fire Lotus Seeds in succession to finally break through to the Five-Star Dou Master.
But the energy from the three Fire Lotus Seeds was too much, and after the breakthrough, there was still some residual energy in his body. He used the method of bloodletting to release the energy and nurture the Fantasy Egg.
Then, the Seven-Colored Tiny Snake, attracted by the Fantasy Egg, emerged.
After that, Chen Mo fell asleep due to exhaustion.
When he woke up, he was greeted by the scene before him.
"Wait, my Fantasy E
gg!"
Chen Mo was startled. Could it be that the Seven-Colored Tiny Snake had eaten the Fantasy Egg, leading to the emergence of Queen Medusa?
Chen Mo quickly lifted the blanket to check.
And then, he realized he had made a mistake.
The plot had accelerated.
