Conquer a Mountain And Become The Great King - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Greed Is A Sin
Damn it, so impressive!
Su Yu really could not think of a description for the system other than impressive.
While staring at Su Yu with a sullen expression, Elder Zhao coughed and asked, “Kid, who gave you this mountain?”
Gave me?
Su Yu’s expression changed, and he looked at Elder Zhao in shock, unsure of how to answer him. After all, if he said that the system gave it to him, no one would believe him.
“No wonder you don’t want to acknowledge me as your master. It turns out your master is much stronger than me…” Elder Zhao sighed leisurely and continued to mutter to himself, “He created heaven and earth. Your master must be a God-level powerhouse, huh?”
God-level powerhouse? Is there another realm above the Martial Emperor?
Su Yu answered with a straight expression, “I’m not clear about that either. My master disappeared after giving this mountain to me.”
“Rumor has it that God-level powerhouses can create their own world. External forces cannot damage it, and it is indeed true.” Elder Zhao continued. “No wonder you can grow such delicious food on this mountain. A God-level powerhouse is indeed unfathomable to ordinary people.”
Su Yu remained silent while Elder Zhao explained everything to him, thus saving him plenty of trouble.
“Could there really be a God-level powerhouse?” Su Yu asked.
Elder Zhao nodded solemnly and said, “I may have never seen a God-level powerhouse before, but there are records about them in classics. Rumor has it that every God-level powerhouse has the power to create a world.”
So it’s just a legend…
Su Yu silently understood. He didn’t have a master at all. Yet, Elder Zhao started talking about an elusive God-level powerhouse.
“Master, cut it out. You’d better hurry and go in to get changed,” Mu Xiaoxiao said at the side.
Elder Zhao finally noticed what he was wearing and couldn’t help but blush. Once someone attacked the Great King Mountain, it would repel the spiritual energy, thus causing Elder Zhao to be in a disheveled state.
“Kid, since you’re lucky enough to acknowledge a God-level powerhouse, you must treasure it,” Elder Zhao reminded Su Yu.
At his realm, the only thing that could tempt him was probably an improvement in his strength. In his opinion, a God-level powerhouse was just like a god. Elder Zhao’s face became flushed out of excitement, and he felt as if he had seen a prosperous path ahead. He suddenly felt that he had made a wise choice to join the Great King Mountain. Upon thinking that it was a place created by a God-level powerhouse, he had to comprehend it well.
After settling Elder Zhao down, Su Yu finally looked at the system’s interface and was immediately stunned. On the top of the system interface, a line of red words appeared.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a chance at the Prize Draw!”
WTH!? Is this the legendary beginner’s luck?
Su Yu was so agitated that his hands began to tremble. There was a 5% chance, which was almost equal to nothing. Yet, he got it in one go. He was now full of gratitude toward Elder Zhao. If not for the ruckus that he had caused, Su Yu wouldn’t have won it in the draw at all.
Unable to contain his excitement, Su Yu immediately entered the prize draw page.
Ding!
“Would you like to proceed with the Prize Draw?”
Of course!
36 cards appeared in front of him. After glancing at them, he skipped the Spirit Stones and Land categories. While feeling excited, he couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Miscellaneous Category: Single Bed, Harrow, Firewood Ax, Spatula, Pot, Fishing Rod
Buildings Category: Training Room, Epiphany Pavilion, Heaven Ascension Stairs, Great King Mountain Guest Inn, Great King Mountain Gate, Afterlife Lake
Secret Manuals Category: Great King Mountain Heart Manual, Weeding Skill Book, Firewood-Chopping Skill Book, Fishing Skill Book, Hunting Skill Book, Harvesting Skill Book
The Mountain Great King Heart Manual actually appeared again for the third time, as with the previous two prize draws. Su Yu was certain that the system had arranged it.
Now, he was indifferent toward the Spirit Stones and Land categories, which could be considered the prize draw’s interference options. The other three were what he looked forward to.
This time, he chose a card in the center.
Please don’t let it be from the Spirit Stones and Land categories…
Su Yu closed his eyes and prayed continuously for five minutes, not daring to open his eyes at all.
“Huff…” He went all out!
Su Yu calmed his senses down and opened his eyes a little. After making sure that it was not of the Spirit Stones category, he calmed down and continued to open his eyes slowly. His heart skipped a beat when he realized that it was not of the Land category either!
Yes! Secret manual! It must be of the Secret Manual category!
He looked up a little to see a book with a blue cover.
It’s really a secret manual! Su Yu almost exclaimed in agitation as blood surged through his veins.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Firewood-Chopping Secret Manual.”
As the system alert sounded, a book with a blue-colored cover appeared in Su Yu’s hand. The words ‘Firewood-Chopping’ appeared on the top left corner of the book.
Although he really wanted to criticize the fact that firewood-chopping could be considered a secret manual too, he recalled the Seed Sowing and Agriculture skills’ might so he swallowed his words. With the Firewood-Chopping Secret Manual and the firewood knife that he had just obtained from the prize draw, he truly became a lumberjack.
“Would you like to learn the Firewood-Chopping Secret Manual?”
“Yes!” Su Yu clapped his hands without hesitation, after which the secret manual turned into a ray of light that entered Su Yu’s body. A large amount of information surged in his brain, and he immediately understood the stance he should get into when holding the knife, the movements, and the force he had to apply. At the same time, the Firewood-Chopping Secret Manual in his body also lit up.
Having won something in the gamble, Su Yu eagerly kept his eyes fixed on the system interface.
He wanted to continue chasing victory!
After rubbing his palms together, he clicked—Lucky Roulette!
The roulette wheel slowly rotated while Su Yu watched, after which it started spinning faster and faster. The roulette’s five colors bedazzled Su Yu, and it seemed surreal to him.
Not daring to look on, Su Yu closed her eyes before opening them again slowly after a few seconds.
At that moment, the speed of the roulette finally slowed down.
Because the five colors were interspersed in the four sides of the roulette while most of the surface area was black, the chances of winning seemed to be very slim.
Su Yu’s brows moved a little, and he thought, Lady Luck will definitely be on my side.
The roulette spun a little, and the needle pointed at the small orange area. The color orange represented a random miscellaneous item.
Is there going to be two wins in a row? Not daring to breathe, Su Yu stared at the needle.
Stop. Stop right now!
Su Yu’s chest heaved up and down, and he continuously exclaimed in his head.
The roulette trembled, and the needle finally moved past the orange area, pointing at a large black area…
Damn it! You’re bent on going against me, huh? The difference is less than a centimeter!
Su Yu thought to himself in anger, wishing he could take the system out of his body and beat it up. He really only missed it by a little! The feeling of falling from heaven to hell was really maddening.
I was greedy. I should have stopped when I won a benefit. Su Yu was extremely frustrated as he had wasted 100,000 gold coins. Upon looking at his gold coin balance, which was less than 30,000, Su Yu simply felt extremely vexed and on the brink of tears.
