I’ll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 659: The Prize Voucher That Drained Everything From The Lucky Period

‘This way, after I finish drawing the ability, it wouldn’t affect me absorbing the Bronze Ability even if the lucky period has passed.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang did not even look at the effects of [Ultimate Film & Television Post Production Ability]. Instead, he opened the system store interface as planned. He wanted to test out another important thing that he had planned yesterday.

After opening the system store, six items appeared before Su Yang.

[Random Point]*1

[Bronze Point]*0

[Guardian Talisman]*5

[Recipe Item: None]

[Random Prize Voucher: None]

[Lucky Stone: 0]

The system store seemed absolutely pitiful as if it had sold out of everything.

In fact, that was actually the case.

Every week, Su Yang would clear out all the Random Points in the store and every month, he would clear out all the Bronze Points as well. Furthermore, he had just created two recipe items and it was not yet the week for new recipe items to be refreshed. Therefore, it was normal for the system store to be empty.

Theoretically, there was no point for Su Yang to open this “empty” store, but… The items in the system store were not limited to fixed purchases. In fact, there was also something that would be randomly refreshed, which was the Random Prize Voucher.

This was exactly what Su Yang had his sights on that day.

From Su Yang’s point of view, since the probability of the appearance of the Random Prize Voucher was random and the type of voucher that would appear was random as well, then… Su Yang should be able to draw a Prize Voucher if he were to pray for it during his lucky period!

In fact, what made Su Yang even more confident was that if his gut feeling did not warn him that this idea was ineffective, then… There was a high chance that it was possible.

With that thought in mind, Su Yang started to pray as he stared at the slot for the Random Prize Voucher.

“I want a Prize Voucher! I want a Prize Voucher! I want a Prize Voucher!”

Su Yang was like a lunatic as he stared at the system and muttered.

If an outsider passed by, they would probably call for the mental institute to pick him up.

As time passed, it was unclear whether the lucky period had actually affected the Prize Voucher’s refresh rate, or if it was just the right time for it to be refreshed.

Suddenly, the sixth panel flashed with a rainbow light and a Prize Voucher appeared on it.

Su Yang did not even take a look at the Prize Voucher and selected [Buy] directly.

[Are you sure you want to buy the Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher? The price of this voucher is 3,500 coins.]

‘Bronze Ability Enhancement Voucher?

‘This is a Prize Voucher that allows the little monsters to develop their Bronze Abilities!

‘Not bad, not bad. This is quite useful!’

Su Yang was elated.

Therefore, he clicked [Yes] without hesitation.

As Su Yang clicked on [Buy], a faint light flashed and a thin bronze Prize Voucher appeared in his hand.

After buying a Prize Voucher, Su Yang took a look at the time. ‘Only two minutes have passed. I still have six minutes left!’

After successfully praying for the first time, Su Yang placed the Prize Voucher on the bed. He looked at the sixth slot confidently and continued to chant.

“I want a Prize Voucher! I want a Prize Voucher! I want a Prize Voucher!”

This time, he was not so lucky. Even after time passed, the Prize Voucher did not appear.

From time to time, Su Yang would glance at the countdown timer on the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick]. He told himself not to delay the drawing of his Bronze Ability while praying as hard as he could!

After five minutes, when the countdown on the brick was down to only 120 seconds, the last panel finally lit up with rainbow colors.

Su Yang could feel his heart burning up! ‘Yes! I’ve done it!’

Sure enough, a moment later, the colorful light disappeared and a new voucher appeared in the slot. It was a voucher covered in a silvery-white colour completely.

At the same time, Su Yang felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. It was as if… His Luck+ had been used up.

Su Yang was a little surprised. It was only when he was in this state that he realized that there was a limit to how much “luck” he could have.

‘I actually thought that I would have unlimited luck during this half and hour.

‘However, I suppose it makes sense. If it were to actually be unlimited, I could have wished to conquer the Earth within this half an hour and guide all humans to enlightenment.

‘However, the luck of the lucky period is definitely huge and this Prize Voucher had actually completely drained the luck from the lucky period. So, this is definitely something amazing.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang looked at the sixth slot excitedly. He wanted to see what kind of Prize Voucher could actually be so impressive.

There were several large words written on the Prize Voucher, [A-Ranked Silver Ability Prize Voucher].

‘[A-Ranked Silver Ability Prize Voucher]?!’

Su Yang was stunned!

‘Are you telling me… This kind of Prize Voucher could have also appeared randomly?

‘Isn’t this lucky period too awesome then?’

Don’t think that Su Yang’s performance was exaggerated. That’s because he had only obtained this Prize Voucher after completing an Advanced Random Mission and achieving an S evaluation in that mission.

Moreover, the ability of this Prize Voucher was super awesome, which could directly allow Su Yang to obtain an A-Ranked Silver Ability.

Furthermore, an A-Ranked Silver Ability was an ability that was related to time and space!

Isn’t that awesome?

‘No wonder this Prize Voucher directly took away all the Luck+ from my lucky period!’

Just as Su Yang was lamenting, he saw a countdown on the Prize Voucher that read [00:07].

‘What the f*ck?! There’s only seven seconds left?!’

Hence, Su Yang immediately clicked on [Buy]!

Then, another notification popped up in front of him. [Are you sure you want to buy the “A-Ranked Silver Ability Voucher”? The price for this Prize Voucher is 60,000 coins.]

‘60,000?

‘That many?’

Even though he was surprised, Su Yang still clicked on [Buy] without any hesitation. ‘This is an A-Ranked Silver Ability Voucher we’re talking about! It’s definitely worth it no matter how much I’ve got to spend!’

With a flash of light, a thin silvery-white Prize Voucher appeared in Su Yang’s hands. ‘It’s very beautiful.’

After spending all the money, Su Yang excitedly took the two vouchers and shook them. The vouchers were as light as a feather, but they were fluttering in the wind. It felt like two metal sheets.

‘I’ve never felt so rich before. I actually have two Prize Vouchers! I’ve definitely misused my lucky period previously! I should’ve just prayed for Prize Vouchers every month!’

However, Su Yang shook his head and dismissed the idea.

Because Su Yang suddenly remembered that the time of [Luck+] during his lucky period was constant, so the luck from his ordinary lucky period should also be constant.

‘Luck+ was only able to handle me praying for two Prize Vouchers. In that case, it’s possible that my ordinary lucky period would be completely exhausted if I were to pray for one Prize Voucher. If this is true, I won’t be able to do anything else then.

‘This would be the equivalent of me using my lucky period to exchange for Prize Vouchers then.

‘No, this isn’t good.’

Therefore, after much consideration, Su Yang decided to wait for the lucky period, which was next month. Then, he would do other things like what he had done that day and spend the remaining 10 minutes to try and pray for a Prize Voucher. That way, even if all his luck was used up, Su Yang would not feel that it was a waste of his lucky period.

After deciding on his plan, Su Yang looked at the countdown on the brick. [00:57].

‘I’ve still got one minute left.’

However… Su Yang’s lucky period was gone, so he stopped struggling and decided not to draw his Bronze Ability. Instead, he just watched as the countdown on the brick returned to zero and the faint light disappeared. Finally, it returned to its normal appearance.

However, Su Yang did not feel that it was a pity because he felt that that month’s lucky period was well worth it. Furthermore, Su Yang knew that the lucky period would be back next month like clockwork…

Hence, Su Yang placed the two vouchers and the [Lucky Disfiguring Brick] into the safe. Then, he opened the system and looked at the reward he got from drawing three similar abilities.

[Randomly drew three of the same abilities, received a talent corresponding to the ability.]

‘This time, it’s not an additional effect, but a talent.’

Su Yang was bewildered as he opened up this talent.

[Stairway To Improvement]

Talent: Every time you read a book with more than 100,000 words, you can obtain a virtual server that can automatically create special effects.

If you read 100 books, you can get 100 virtual servers that are able to create special effects autonomously.

Plus, these virtual servers can be linked together to create and render special effects.

Restriction 1: No more than 10,000 special effects servers can be present at the same time.

Restriction 2: The production standard of this virtual server’s special effects is determined by the user’s own standards.

Note: Drink more water, read more books, eat less snacks and sleep less.

Note: Books are the stairway to human progress. – Gorky

Su Yang’s eyes lit up when he saw this talent.

‘This talent is simply amazing!

‘I’ve been worrying about the special effects of “Wandering Planet” all this time. After all, even though my special effects capabilities are very powerful, I don’t want to stay in the film company 24 hours a day just to work on special effects.

‘If I were to do this, I won’t have to do anything else anymore.

‘Yet, now…

‘This talent will be able to save me from the heavy load of work. Perfect!

‘With these servers, I can use them to create special effects. Then, my company would only need to do the post-production editing and dubbing.

‘Not only does this save time, it also saves an endless amount of cost.

‘In the production of special effects, software only costs about 10-20% of the total amount, while hardware and manpower costs 80-90%.

‘So, for a large sci-fi movie like ‘Wandering Planet’, where the total investment would be close to 500 million yuan, the special effects alone would cost close to 300 million yuan.

‘I’m going to be able to save millions of yuan just on this then.

‘Especially since this ability, combined with my previous experience of “spending money to shorten the production time of special effects”, this is like… Giving me a nuclear bomb when I already know I’m going to win the battle!

‘”Wandering Planet” is sure to be completed well this time!

‘If I’m unable to produce “Wandering Planet” within a year, I’ll walk backwards in the future!

‘Hmm… In this case, the production time of “Wandering Planet” might even be shorter than “Wolf Warriors 2”. After all, the script for “Wolf Warriors 2” has yet to even be decided. Meanwhile, the structure for Wolf Warriors is already being built up, the cast has been selected and we’re almost going to start filming soon.’

After happily closing the interface for this new talent, Su Yang went straight to his house to look for books.

Before long, Su Yang found a box of books written by famous authors from all over the world.

‘These books seemed to have been ordered by Pool for Little Deeny to study on human culture.’

Su Yang picked out a copy of “Dawn Blossoms Plucked At Dusk” and opened it. He wanted to see what the current internet celebrity, Lu Xun, had written.

However, the moment he opened up a page, his eyes suddenly darkened and he could not see anything.

At that moment, Su Yang only had one thought in his mind. ‘What’s going on? Am I not fit to read Lu Xun’s books?’
