Chapter 569: 569 Lottery, let me try your luck.
Lin Tang pondered over her mother’s words, looking surprised.
"Mom, you could become a relationship counselor with all that advice," she said.
It was just like a country version of "communication is key in marriage."
Li Xiuli gave her daughter a displeased glare for focusing on the wrong thing.
"Stop talking nonsense," she said.
Although she spoke sternly, her eyes brimmed with laughter.
Lin Tang took Li Xiuli’s arm, "Aww, I know, we have a good relationship, so don’t worry about us, Mom."
Li Xiuli said, "As long as you two are happy, Mom is at ease."
These past few days, she hadn’t heard Tangtang mention Yingzhou much and worried they might be having a tiff.
Lin Tang was completely unaware that her mother’s heart had fully shifted to her future son-in-law; she was merely thinking about keeping public displays of affection within limits.
Today’s sugar level had already exceeded the limit; any more and she feared encountering rolling eyes.
After returning home and freshening up, they each retired to their own rooms.
Lin Tang went back to her room and found Qiuqiu sleeping upside down, its soft belly gently rising and falling.
At the sound, it suddenly opened its eyes.
Flipping over, it arched its back gracefully.
The young tiger cub, now several sizes larger, had the metallic coldness of a forest kingpin in its beastly eyes.
Cold and ready to pounce.
Realizing its owner had returned, the cold gleam in Qiuqiu’s eyes disappeared instantly; it lay back down, belly-up, and showed its stomach again.
Seeing the little tiger cub expose its belly, Lin Tang couldn’t resist rubbing it a few times.
She touched it softly.
It was warm and soft.
"You really are a calm tiger, aren’t you? There’s someone in the house, and you can still sleep; how do you manage it!" Lin Tang said with a laugh.
She poked Qiuqiu’s fluffy head with her fingertips, making it tilt its head amusingly.
It was quite cute.
"How will you ever become the overlord of the forest like this?"
Lin Tang was worried.
The family had rescued Qiuqiu and treated it as one of their own.
She hadn’t planned to keep the tiger cub in the house forever; once Qiuqiu was healthy and round, she made a point to take it to Small Blue Mountain for training.
The little guy even caught a rabbit last time.
It seemed quite adaptable.
But Qiuqiu’s helpless, languid state as soon as it got home made Lin Tang somewhat concerned.
After all the time she’d spent raising it, she couldn’t bear the thought of her little one becoming food.
Qiuqiu gave Lin Tang a faint look, silently turned its head, and showed her a fluffy, round back of its head.
It was throwing a little temper tantrum, so cute...
Lin Tang scratched the back of the tiger cub’s head, pinched the back of its neck, picked up the cute creature, and held it in her arms.
"So adorable~"
Following this praise, Qiuqiu, which had its soft paws raised, instantly withdrew them and gently placed them in Lin Tang’s palm.
"Aww..." Qiuqiu softly called out.
Lin Tang was charmed and buried her face in the fluffy neck of the little tiger cub, inhaling deeply.
Qiuqiu looked at her with confusion, tilting its head.
Lin Tang’s health bar was depleted.
After rubbing the adorable Qiuqiu for a while, Lin Tang lay on the bed and opened the system panel.
A transparent screen appeared before her eyes.
The lottery wheel flashed enticingly, beckoning her to click it.
Lin Tang didn’t pay it much attention, opting to tidy up the contents of her system space first.
There was an abundance of food, a fair amount of medicine, and then some other items...
[Beep! Would you like to draw the lottery now?]
The system’s mechanical voice sounded off for the umpteenth time.
Lin Tang’s gaze remained steady, focusing on the lottery wheel.
She had stored up her half-year of daily sign-in lottery chances without using them.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to draw; it was just that she’d been having an unlucky streak recently.
Either she got a point or a few candies for her daily sign-in, and the worst was when she got a pack of toilet paper...
She’d never experienced such humiliation in her life.
So she decided to save the lottery draw chances for later.
Thinking of the anti-moisture bead I got from signing in at dawn today, Lin Tang felt a hint of interest.
"Tongzi, I’m getting lucky now, aren’t I?"
This question stumped the system.
There was a moment of silence before the mechanical voice replied with a hint of helplessness.
[You need to judge that for yourself, the system can’t help.]
Fearing that the host might get so upset she wouldn’t spend a single point for half a month, the system was acting utterly humble.
Qiuqiu saw its poop-scooping officer gesturing at the air, its huge tiger face looking confused.
It stretched out its small red paw pad and slapped Lin Tang’s arm.
"Oww~"
Lin Tang snapped back to reality and caught Qiuqiu’s paw.
"Got your paw, let me try your luck."
After speaking, she pinched the cub’s paw pad and pressed it on the light screen’s lucky draw wheel.
The pointer began to spin.
Lin Tang looked on with anticipation.
It was a draw that came but once in half a year, after all.
At the very least, it should yield something decent!
’Zzz...’
’Zzz...’
’Zzz...’
Suddenly, there were several stuttering ’zzz’ sounds from the system.
Lin Tang: "??"
"Tongzi, are you malfunctioning? Do you need some oil?" she asked, puzzled.
In her eyes, the system was no different from the smartphones that emerged later, only more advanced.
Perhaps at some point in human development, everyone would have one of these gadgets.
After a few ’zzz’ sounds from the system, the pointer eventually stopped on an especially narrow purple area.
A flash of light passed by, and before Lin Tang could speak, the mechanical voice of the system rang out again, this time faintly excited.
[Congratulations to the host for drawing a Life-Returning Pill.]
"What?" Lin Tang bounced up in shock, "A Life-Returning Pill? For real?"
This item was available in the System Mall, something that could be seen but never obtained.
After all, one pill cost 20,000 points.
Considering Lin Tang’s meager balance of a little over two thousand points, such an extravagance was beyond even her dreams.
[Of course it’s real. The Life-Returning Pill has been placed in the system space, available for the host to retrieve at any time.]
Before the system finished speaking, Lin Tang immediately took it out, and a white Medicine pill appeared in her hand.
The pill’s surface radiated a lustrous sheen.
It smelled faintly sweet, as though coated in sugar.
It didn’t seem like a life-saving medicine but like a sugared pill for kids.
"Is this the Life-Returning Pill?" Lin Tang asked, holding the Medicine pill and giving it a sniff.
[Please, host, do not question the system at will.]
The system had upgraded several times, becoming much more intelligent.
Knowing it was supposed to feel helpless at this moment, its cold tone laced with reluctance sounded a bit odd.
"So what if I question it? What kind of punishment do you have?" Lin Tang asked, smiling merrily.
She knew, of course, that there was none. She was just playing around.
Tongzi was being dull, trying to mimic human emotions, which was somewhat amusing.
The system paused, unsure of how to feel at that moment.
[...There is none, the system is a serious system.]
Lin Tang didn’t care about the system’s origins; she only knew that it wouldn’t harm her.
In fact, this silly Tongzi had no idea she had gotten most of the story out of it already.
The system was a product of the interstellar era, accidentally falling into a Black Hole after an accident.
In a certain Magnetic Field, it collided with Lin Tang’s future consciousness and, with no other choice, had to form a contract with her.
That’s how the subsequent story began.
