After the point settlement, the Shrek Academy group slowly walked toward the hotel. Walking down the road, looking at the people in groups of three or five, Tang San sighed.
"What's wrong, Little San?" Ye Yin, as his brother from another father and mother, immediately expressed his concern.
Tang San sighed. "I miss my father a little." He hadn't seen his father for so many years. Before coming to Soto City, he had even made a special trip home, leaving a note there and telling Old Jack, the village Elder, to inform his father of his whereabouts if he returned. It had been over six years, but his father was still nowhere to be found. In his previous life, he never had any family. In this life, he finally had a father, but he had left him.
"Sigh," Ye Yin patted Tang San's shoulder. "I know you miss your father. Your dad isn't here, and I'm very sad too. You know, I've been an orphan since I was little. You're almost like an orphan now. We've known each other for so many years. We are the most familiar strangers; we are family! If you don't mind..."
A light appeared in Tang San's eyes. He blinked, looking at Ye Yin. "You mean..."
Ye Yin nodded vigorously. "That's right! Little San, if you don't mind in the future, I'll be your dad!"
[Resentment from Tang San +20!]
The light in Tang San's eyes faded instantly. "Then forget it."
Everyone arrived at the hotel, where Qin Ming and Flender had already prepared the celebration banquet. The dishes were all served, just waiting for Ye Yin and the others. Everyone quickly chatted with Qin Ming and the others. As they talked, they discussed the future of several of the Shrek Academy students. Finally, at Yu Xiaogang's persuasion, Flender agreed to have the Shrek Academy student representatives participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The next day, everyone returned to Shrek Academy to rest and cultivate. They would depart for Heaven Dou Royal Academy two months later.
Ye Yin returned to his dormitory and opened the system panel. Over the past month, he had accumulated a large amount of resentment points, but he was still some distance away from a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring or Spirit Bone. He had previously purchased a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but unfortunately, he hadn't had a chance to use it before the Royal Fight Team had already fallen to Dugu Yan's poison.
The most useful thing on a daily basis was still the lottery system. The marrow cleansing fruit and soul cleansing fruit were all good treasures, not to mention a powerful weapon like surströmming.
"System, ten consecutive draws!"
At Ye Yin's command, the system's lottery panel immediately began to spin.
[Congratulations, you have received 8 black garlic!]
[Congratulations, you have received 2 soul cleansing fruit!]
Two soul cleansing fruit!
[black garlic and soul cleansing fruit have appeared in the special shop.]
[Reward: one enhancement opportunity.]
Ye Yin's eyes lit up. He immediately looked at the system shop.

[One enhancement opportunity: Can be used to enhance 'Thank you for your patronage' type prizes. After enhancement, every purchase will be of the enhanced item.]
"So that's how it is," Ye Yin said. He looked at the surströmming and black garlic and then unhesitatingly used the enhancement opportunity on the surströmming. Although black garlic was strong, when it came to providing resentment points, surströmming was still superior.
"Enhance surströmming!"
[Enhancement successful!]
[Resentment points provided by surströmming increased by 100%, surströmming price increased by 200%, surströmming quantity increased by 300%, surströmming taste intensity increased by 400%, surströmming influence range increased by 500%.]
A series of system enhancements appeared, and Ye Yin's eyes immediately lit up. The surströmming now cost 30 resentment points, and Ye Yin immediately bought a box. The original small iron box had increased threefold, and the number of fish inside had increased from the original two to eight. Not only that, the small fish had all become large, and the smell was extremely strong. Fortunately, Ye Yin was not affected by the surströmming, otherwise, he would have collapsed on the spot. Ye Yin contentedly put away the surströmming, planning to eat it with everyone during lunch. Good things must be shared, he thought.
"Another ten consecutive draws!"
[Thank you for your patronage! Reward: one bursting stinky tofu!]
[bursting stinky tofu: bursting stinky tofu bursts after a violent collision, exuding an extremely strong and lingering aroma that lasts for at least seventy-two hours, unless a piece of bursting stinky tofu is eaten. This smell attracts creatures, and attracted creatures are prone to becoming irritable.]
[Thank you for your patronage! Reward: one bursting stinky tofu!]
[Thank you for your patronage! Reward: one bursting stinky tofu!]
...
[Congratulations! Reward: one lucky dice!]
[Congratulations! Reward: one lucky dice!]
[Congratulations! Reward: one lucky dice!]
[Thank you for your patronage! Reward: one bursting stinky tofu!]
Ye Yin's eyes glowed as he looked at the three consecutive wins. Three consecutive wins! Good luck!
[lucky dice: A very lucky dice. After being thrown, the higher the number, the luckier you are. Guaranteed win in lotteries, picking up money on the street! Lasts for one hour. Becomes an unlucky dice after use.]
[Unlucky Dice: A very unlucky dice. After being thrown, the higher the number, the unluckier you are. Stepping in poop on the street, only having paper when pooping, only having seasoning packets for instant noodles, intestines guaranteed to have filling. Lasts for twelve hours. Becomes a normal dice after use.]
[Normal Dice: Just a normal dice, purely for padding the word count.]
"Is this lucky dice that powerful?" Ye Yin took out a lucky dice. It looked ordinary, with six sides, from one to six. Ye Yin casually threw it on the table. Clink, clank. It landed on one. Then there was no reaction at all. "What's going on?" he wondered. "Am I lucky just like that?"
At that moment, in Tang San's dormitory, he was cultivating. Suddenly, Tang San thought of a very serious matter, which was the matter of never having completed his apprenticeship. Tang San immediately walked to Ye Yin's dormitory door and knocked.
