Chapter 22: More Rewards
That was why he immediately went into his thoughts and started looking at the System from the inside.
'Shit, is this really a Roulette that will randomly give me an Alchemical Fire?' he asked.
[Of course, it's an Alchemical Fire Roulette, can't you see the name or did that little fight already blind you?] Asked the administrator in his head, even though Tang Yin was looking inside his mind, he still couldn't see this guy who was always hanging around in his mind.
He can't understand that, but it doesn't matter.
Well, girl or guy. Tang Yin can hear his voice as female, but this administrator once told him that never had a body and that souls have no gender, so Tang Yin sometimes treats him as female and sometimes as male. Either way, it's not like it matters.
Until he sees what he looks like, he will continue to treat him that way.
Tang Yin simply ignored his comment and only paid attention to what was important.
Just at that moment, another message appeared in front of him.
[Host, welcome to Alchemical Fire Roulette. A quick explanation: you can pull the lever yourself, or you can choose to have the system pull it for you, once the lever is pulled, the roulette will start spinning and finally stop at one of the available Alchemical Fires]
[Due to upgrade limitations, this roulette only has Common Grade, Earth Grade, Spirit Grade, and Beast Fires drawn from Beasts between 500 and 10 thousand years old]
Tang Yin read these messages and was surprised that this thing had Earth Grade and Spirit Grade Fires and even seemed to have 10-thousand-year-old Beast Fires.
'That's amazing...' Tang Yin thought.
Although it was true that the Spiritual Grade was a far cry from the Heavenly Grade Fires, it was still quite a high grade.
Those of Common Grade could be ignored. These were of no use unless they could grow. But, starting from the Earth Grade, every Alchemical Fire can grow by absorbing other Alchemical Fires. And can grow to the Heavenly Grade, which is quite a terrifying existence within the Fires.
For those who are born in Spiritual Grade, are some things that can be a little annoying and stressful. Initially, they are all superior to the Earth Fires, but many of the Spiritual Grade Fires come with reduced growth potential.
Although they reach the Celestial Grade, they are among the lowest levels, and then from there, their growth potential stops.
It is different from those who are born being of Earth Grade because these have a greater potential for improvement and are not so limited when they reach the Heaven Grade.
But well, the truth is that it's not very important right now because Tang Yin has no way to grow those things to such a degree what's more, he can't even use an Alchemical Fire right now. Right now, he'd be better off with a Spiritual Grade one.
'This world is not like mine. Here any Spirit Grade Fire should be immensely more expensive than Earth Grade.' Tang Yin thought to himself as he pondered whether should sell it, in case he got a Spiritual Grade one.
After that, he looked at the roulette wheel again and went and lowered the lever on it.
He didn't trust that system, so it was better to do it himself, and after doing so, he looked at the roulette anxiously.
'Well, I doubt very much that he will touch a Spirit Grade, his drawers are quite small...' Tang Yin thought as he watched it spin, and after a minute this roulette started to slow down little by little.
Ting, ting, ting, the sound of the roulette stick touching with each of the partitions was sounding less and less until it started to stop more quickly, and soon one last sound was heard.
Tang Yin looked and was surprised again.
'Shit, an Earth-Grade Fire? Not bad!' Tang Yin thought with a smile. When he noticed this, and just at that instant, another system notification popped up.
[Ding]
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an Earth Grade Fire born from an Earth Spirit. 'Earthly Fire of the 3 Flowers']
'A 3 Flower Grass Spirit? Not bad, it's a good alchemical fire.' Tang Yin thought with a smile, and after he thought that, a Fire sign in the shape of '3 Flowers' appeared in his inventory.
'Ohhh, this thing really can contain even an Earth Fire...' Tang Yin thought again in astonishment but smiled.
That was good for the future it should contain many difficult-to-transport and powerful things, so it was good that it could withstand those things, Tang Yin thought.
'But... It's disappointing this roulette, isn't it? I thought it would be more exciting or give me something better...*Sigh* I shouldn't be greedy either.' Tang Yin thought helplessly.
[The system giving you such a good earthly fire for your dear and beloved Meiyu, but you're still complaining? What a shameless man] Said the Administrator in his head, and Tang Yin smiled.
'Shut up, when I conquer her, I will give it to her, but before that, you must give me more fires. It just occurred to me that, if I get more fires from this roulette, couldn't I make this 3 Flower Fire increase its rank?' Tang Yin thought, and the administrator was stunned, thinking that was true.
[Hmph] He said after hearing that and disappeared from Tang Yin's thoughts again.
Tang Yin smiled.
'That tells me it's like that, hahaha, looks like I found a good way to turn this thing into something more powerful.' Tang Yin thought with pleasure, and after that, he simply turned his hand over and touched the External Spiritual Weapon Roulette Chips.
'Hey, system, what rank are these?' He asked directly, skipping any strange formality the system might have to introduce this roulette.
He already knew what it was it needed no further introduction.
[The External Spiritual Weapon Roulette has External Weapons of any type between the Common Rank up to the Spiritual Lord Rank] Replied the System, and Tang Yin nodded after seeing that it had three uses available, he immediately moved the lever of that huge roulette.
It started to roll and roll...
A minute later, a last 'Ting' sounded, and it stopped.
'Oh? Earth Grade too?' Tang Yin thought in astonishment, and immediately the congratulatory messages appeared, and his External Spiritual Weapon appeared in the inventory.
When Tang Yin saw it, he was stunned for a moment.
1 whole minute stunned.
Well, a little longer, 1 minute, and fear.
--"FUCKING SYSTEM, WHY DO YOU GIVE ME THIS SHIT!?" shouted Tang Yin after 2 whole minutes of looking at the junk weapon he had been given.
--"How can you give me that crap!? Who uses an External Spirit Weapon chicken!? Who was the useless blacksmith who made this nonsense!? And how could this crap possibly be Earth grade!?" Tang Yin started asking several questions in a row while shouting angrily in his head.
All this while looking at a stupid sculpture of a yellow chick in his inventory.
Yes, the External Spirit Weapon he had been given, was of a chicken.
[Host, this is your luck. I didn't give you anything. It was roulette] Answered the system seriously in a message.
Tang Yin was about to speak again, but just then, he noticed that the system had sent another message congratulating him for getting another Spirit Weapon and Tang Yin was surprised, then he looked at his hand and noticed that he was pulling the lever down and because of this it was used again and, the last time it was also used.
'Shit, out of anger I didn't notice...' Tang Yin thought, then looked at his inventory to see what weapon he had obtained and choked when he saw it.
--"Fuck, speak up already, who is the bastard that makes these spirit weapons!? I'm going to kill him doesn't deserve to be a blacksmith that bastard!" Tang Yin shouted again extremely angry, as he looked at another useless earth-rank spirit weapon, but it was a pigeon!
A stupid green-colored pigeon!
Tang Yin was so angry that he started shouting and kicking the ground immediately.
What a great insult to the blacksmiths that was! He thought with great anger.
Just then, he heard a person dying with laughter in his head.
[Hahahaha...]
[Hahahaha, that's what you get for being a bastard, hahaha who the hell made these things? HAHAHAHAHA]
The administrator couldn't stop laughing over, and over again at these things it was the funniest thing he had seen in a long time.
But Tang Yin was not very amused, still, he said nothing but uttered several snorts with his mouth, and just then, he received another notification from the system.
Tang Yin just scoffed at the stupid notification and looked at his inventory, not hopeful that he would get something good.
'And there it is, a crappy weapon...' Tang Yin thought, but after saying so far, he stopped what he was planning to say. After taking a good look, he was surprised because it was not what he expected.
