[Popularity: 80,000+]
[Revenue: 500 million+]
[Current Total Points: 1.3 billion and 200,000+]
Looking at the data on the system panel, Tatsuke couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
The promotional results were far better than he had imagined.
The points could be used to participate in the system's lottery.
And the revenue from in-game purchases was directly deposited into his account!
In just half a day, he had already earned 500 million.
Among that, 200 million came from a certain wealthy woman's top-up.
Back when he was broke, he had to wander around, barely scraping by. Now that he had money, he wasn't sure how to spend it all.
Staying in a luxury hotel and indulging in local delicacies.
"Life, it's just like this," Tatsuke sighed as he took a sip of his soda.
Then, he opened the system's lottery interface.
Life was comfortable now, but to maintain this comfort in the long run, he needed strong self-preservation abilities.
The lottery interface was divided into three tiers:
[Normal Lottery: 10,000 points per draw]
[Epic Lottery: 1 million points per draw]
[Legendary Lottery: 100 million points per draw (This pool contains only legendary-tier items)]
Tatsuke ignored the first two tiers.
If he was going to gamble, he'd go big!
All or nothing!
"Ten legendary draws!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
The first three draws yielded nothing.
As expected of the legendary-tier pool. Even if you got nothing, it wouldn't pollute the pool with junk.
Just as Tatsuke was thinking this.
The fourth draw produced a golden light!
[Eye of Insight (Legendary): A permanent ability granted to the host, which can be activated under any circumstances.]
[Effect: Meditate on a target or identify a subject through certain clues. Allows the host to observe their current actions, mental activities, and behavioral logic.]
[This ability ignores all obstacles and will never be detected by the target.]
Seeing the description, Tatsuke was stunned.
"Isn't this the ultimate dream of a peeping tom?"
"But I'm not that kind of person!"
After saying that.
Tatsuke immediately activated the ability.
Feeling that he had fully mastered it, he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he continued to check the lottery results.
There were still six draws left.
What if he got two legendary items?
As it turned out, dreams can come true!
On the final draw, golden light flashed again.
[My Territory, My Rules! (Legendary) (Rule-based Ability): A one-time use ability granted to the host, which can be activated under any circumstances.]
*[Effect: Allows the host to designate up to three [territories], each no larger than 250 square meters. Within these territories, the host has absolute control and can eliminate any threats to themselves.]
"Holy crap, this ability…!?"
Tatsuke had been hoping for something that would grant him the power of an Aeon, or at least an Emanator-level ability.
But the two abilities he got were even more outrageous!
Instead of simply granting power, they allowed him to control and establish certain rules.
After some careful thought.
Tatsuke realized that if used wisely, these two abilities were far more valuable than raw power!
With the **[Eye of Insight]**, he could choose a target and gradually lure them into his territory.
Once they entered his designated area, it would be like a lamb walking into a lion's den!
Under the rules of his territory, even an Aeon would be reduced to a harmless little girl.
He couldn't wait to experience this absolute control.
Tatsuke glanced around.
The hotel, though luxurious by Xianzhou standards, couldn't hide its commercialized, overly flashy atmosphere.
Since he only had three chances, he had to make the most of them.
He opened his phone.
And scheduled a property viewing in Xianzhou.
He planned to buy a small villa.
The location? Near Jinzhou Street.
Compared to Changleyuan, this area wasn't as bustling, but it was more peaceful, with food and entertainment that felt more down-to-earth.
Soon, a Foxian girl added Tatsuke as a contact.
As expected of a high-end salesperson, her efficiency was impressive!
She spoke sweetly and was quite beautiful.
She provided three options based on Tatsuke's requirements.
Two were traditional villa styles, while the third had a hint of courtyard house design.
Of course, the latter was significantly more expensive.
The first two were around 200 million, while the third was close to 400 million.
Tatsuke decisively chose the third option.
He paid in full upfront.
The Foxian girl was flabbergasted!
"You're so young and accomplished, and now you've got such a grand estate. It's truly admirable," the Foxian girl said, her eyes filled with admiration.
"The property rights are all settled. How about you accompany me for a tour?"
"Of course! But I have a good friend. Would you mind inviting her along?"
A bonus?
Just as Tatsuke was about to agree, the Foxian girl added without hesitation, "My Foxian friend is named [Tingyun]. She's a receptionist for the Sky-Faring Commission…"
Wait!
Who did you say?
Tatsuke immediately sobered up.
At this point, was Tingyun the real Tingyun, or was she Phantylia's avatar?
If it was the latter…
Then,
That would be even more exciting!
"No problem, miss. Once you've discussed it with Tingyun, let me know in advance. I'll prepare and make sure to welcome both of you properly."
"Oh, Mr. Tatsuke, you're too kind. I don't even know what to say."
The Foxian girl covered her mouth with a delicate laugh.
"It's settled, then."
