LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 20 - Ten Consecutive Rewards! The Great Zhou's Outgoing Third Princess!
Chapter 20: Ten Consecutive Rewards! The Great Zhou’s Outgoing Third Princess!
A few days later, in the Great Zhou, outside Qianyuan Temple, Yang Yi was waiting for an audience with the Empress.
He had just returned from Hangzhou, where he had implemented another round of the Work for Relief policy before leaving. It was only a matter of time before Hangzhou would recover.
Yang Yi glanced at his system status.
[Host: Yang Yi]
[Poison Expert Value: 116,257]
He raised an eyebrow. His trip to Hangzhou had greatly increased his Poison Expert value.
Curiosity piqued, he opened the system shop and browsed idly.
[Red Cannon Design Blueprint: 150,000 Poison Expert Value]
[Barrett*1: 200,000 Poison Expert Value]
[Dugu Nine Swords Manual: 500,000 Poison Expert Value]
Tsk tsk tsk.
Yang Yi shook his head inwardly. The system items were too expensive; even buying a Red Cannon blueprint required 100,000 Poison Expert Value.
Feeling a bit helpless, he suddenly noticed a small option next to the shop labeled “Lottery”. Yang Yi was stunned and instinctively clicked to take a look.
A rectangular prize pool appeared before him, with the words “Start Lottery” in the center, resembling the lottery interface of a certain Penguin game from later generations.
The prizes in the pool glowed in different colours, looking quite dazzling. A wave of information flooded into his mind.
Yang Yi suddenly understood. The system shop also had a lottery function!
The items in the shop were expensive, but in the prize pool, it only cost 10,000 Poison Expert Value to draw once. He might even get a prize worth much more.
He hesitated for a moment. Since the summoning of the Empress would take a while, he decided to draw a few times.
Yang Yi focused his mind.
[Ding! Consumed 100,000 Poison Expert Value, starting the lottery]
The next second, the prize pool emitted a misty glow. Moments later, a series of reward notifications rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Eye of Insight]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Enhanced Senses]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Yang Mi’s Stockings]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Lao Ai’s Legacy]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Instant Noodles*10]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining “Character Summoning Card”: Li Cunxiao]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining “Charm Enhancement”]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a Character Summoning Card: Dian Wei]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Soft Hedgehog Armor (Impenetrable) 1]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Master Level Horsemanship]
As the notification sounds continued to ring, Yang Yi felt a lot of information flooding into his mind.
At the same time, he noticed that his sense of smell, hearing, and perception had been greatly enhanced.
His eyes showed a look of excitement. He had drawn a lot of good things with these ten consecutive draws.
The [Perceptive Eye] skill alone was worth the cost. With this skill, he could find out the identity and status of others, and thus devise a targeted strategy against them.
The Character Summoning Cards could summon famous historical ministers and generals.
Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao were both famous warriors in history. As a fragile strategist, he needed two strong generals to protect him.
After all, Poison Strategies were the most hated, and the more famous he became, the more likely he was to be targeted. Therefore, he always remained vigilant.
While Yang Yi was counting his rewards, he suddenly felt a breeze behind him. Thanks to the enhanced senses he had just acquired, he immediately sensed someone behind him.
Without thinking, Yang Yi instinctively dodged and pushed the person behind him into the pond.
“Ah…”
A crisp sound rang out.
Splash!
A figure in a yellow dress fell into the pond. Yang Yi immediately realized that he might have overreacted. Hurried footsteps sounded nearby.
“Princess…”
Yang Yi was stunned.
Princess?
He looked closely. In the pond, a young girl, now completely soaked, her elegant hair in disarray, revealing a fair and delicate face, was screaming.
Yang Yi quickly walked to the edge of the pond and grabbed the girl’s hand, pulling her up. Fortunately, the pond wasn’t deep, and the girl was only wet, without any serious damage.
Once the girl was out of the pond, the maids around her quickly supported her, their faces filled with concern.
“Princess…”
Yang Yi’s mouth twitched, his expression somewhat strange. Among the Wu sisters, the only one still in the palace should be the Third Princess. This girl must be the Legendary Third Princess.
Wu Mingyue coughed heavily, feeling extremely unlucky. She had come to find her second sister.
According to Sister Shangguan, her second sister planned to introduce her to a young and promising husband, the same Yang Yi who had solved the grain price chaos in Hangzhou.
The young girl, curious about love and romance, could not resist and decided to take a look. She saw Yang Yi standing alone by the pond.
Her maid told her that he was the top scholar. The Princess, who was carefree and uninhibited, didn’t feel shy and went up to greet him.
Who would have thought that as she approached and was about to speak, this man would pull her into the pond! Her carefully prepared makeup was ruined.
As she continued to cough, she heard the person in front of her say,
“Uh, Princess, why did you sneak up on me?”
Wu Mingyue almost spat blood in anger.
How could she have been sneaking up on him? This guy really knows how to pass the buck. She glared at Yang Yi.
“I just wanted to come over and say hello. Who tried to sneak up on you?”
Yang Yi blinked and looked at Wu Mingyue’s soaked chest.
The Princess’ clothes were already as thin as a Cicada’s Wings, and now that they were wet, they revealed a large area of her full, pale skin, which was quite alluring.
Although she was young, she was already well endowed. Yang Yi felt a bit emotional but maintained a calm demeanor.
“Princess, since you didn’t make any sound or noise, I thought someone was attacking me, so I reacted strongly. With your broad-mindedness, I’m sure you won’t hold it against me…”
