Chapter 158: Super Gashapon Draw! Little Caterpillar’s Luck…
Chapter 158: Super Gashapon Draw! Little Caterpillar’s Luck…
Wang Che nodded. There were many rich contestants in the Qihang Cup. No matter how expensive Soul Pet Decorations were, it wasn’t impossible for them to afford one.
But none of them wore any.
Clearly, that was the reason.
Equipment usually had certain level requirements.
As for these three items, Wang Che had Green Caterpillar come over to choose.
All three were actually quite good.
Green Caterpillar immediately chose the Feathered Insect Crown.
Hmm, understood. It probably felt its brain wasn’t sharp enough and wanted to improve it.
“The first six rewards have been distributed. The seventh is the Soul Illusion Realm trial. We will arrange a detailed schedule later and notify you.”
“Next up are five ten-draws from the Super Gashapon.”
The staff member breathed a sigh of relief.
Green Caterpillar was really hard to handle. For several rewards, they had to search for a long time to find suitable ones.
The location for the Super Gashapon draw was similar to the one in Tianxin City’s Stadium.
The machines were identical.
Because Wang Che had many rewards, it took a long time to collect them.
By the time he arrived, the others had mostly finished their draws.
How to put it?
From what Wang Che observed, most people looked miserable, a few seemed spirited.
And a very small number glowed with excitement.
Clearly, they had gotten something good from the draw.
Judging by their expressions, the miserable ones probably got Blue Sky and White Clouds.
The spirited ones likely drew Purple Flashes.
The excited ones, without a doubt, drew Gold Flashes.
Gold Flash was a great item. Last time Wang Che drew a Gold Flash, it was a Soul Skill Engraving: Blazing Charge.
How useful was Blazing Charge?
Wang Che felt that without Blazing Charge, Green Caterpillar’s strength would drop several levels.
Because it learned Blazing Charge back then, it managed to defeat that Forest Viper on the way to Floating Forest.
That led to receiving the Rainbow Deer King’s Life Feedback and Soul Skill inheritance.
In Floating Forest, by hitting the Soul Sacrificial Tree, it gained information about many treasures.
Also, Blazing Charge allowed Green Caterpillar to start a fire anytime, letting Wang Che brew potions and cook food anywhere.
An essential for home life!
Simply perfect!
Later, whether facing that Ghost Disciple or powerful Soul Pets in the Qihang Cup, Blazing Charge played a crucial role.
To be blunt, without Blazing Charge… Green Caterpillar wouldn’t be this strong now.
So, how important was getting a Gold Flash?
“The champion caterpillar is here! Everyone, make way!”
“Five ten-draws! Even with bad luck, getting a Gold Flash isn’t too much to ask, right? At worst, some Purple Flashes.”
“Wah… Two ten-draws, no good items in the Dawn Cup, none in the Qihang Cup either…”
“The next tournaments are only after entering university… Even if I place then, it’ll be a long wait!”
“Dino Tech’s Super Gashapon draws are really great… You can’t buy them with money… You can only get draws through tournament rankings.”
“Rich people don’t care; they can buy anything… Even Supreme Soul Pets as babies.”
“The key is some rare materials in these gashapons can’t be bought with money! Even Dino Tech’s internal staff can’t resist joining tournaments to get rankings for draws.”
“I got something! Gold Flash, haha! I’ll save it to see what good item it is when I get back, hehe!”
…
Feng Xiao felt his luck had turned.
Because in his four ten-draws, he got one Gold Flash and one Purple Flash.
Both were great items!
He felt he could accept being the runner-up.
Second place is second place! Totally fine!
Very pleased.
Opposite to Feng Xiao.
Was He Zhenfeng.
His lucky streak ended. The champion, runner-up, and third place got five, four, and three ten-draws respectively.
He, as the last of the top four, had two ten-draw chances.
However, both were Blue Sky and White Clouds.
He looked like he was wearing a mask of pain, very upset.
Lin Xi had decent luck too, getting one Purple Flash.
Actually, she didn’t have a huge need for Purple or Gold Flash items.
But, it was a symbol of luck.
Getting something good, even if not the best, always made people happy.
As Wang Che arrived, many contestants turned their eyes to him.
With five ten-draws, he must get something good, right?
Wang Che thought so too.
But thinking that made him feel like he definitely wouldn’t get anything.
Actually, in the Cultivation World, there were many similar gambling-like items. Not just there, many civilizations had similar things.
It seemed as long as they were living beings, they couldn’t escape the gambler trait.
“Ready? You can start drawing now.”
The staff reminded.
Wang Che nodded. An idea struck him—why not let Green Caterpillar try?
Maybe Little Caterpillar had great fortune and could draw a Gold Flash immediately?
Wang Che hung the medal on Green Caterpillar’s head and said:
“Here, I’ll give you the medal first. You go try once. Later, put the medal on the machine, watch it spin, and say stop. If you get something good, there’s a reward.”
Green Caterpillar, wearing the medal, nodded.
It didn’t really understand what the gashapon draw was, but with the medal, Green Caterpillar felt very cool.
He is definitely going to draw something awesome!
Everyone stared blankly for a moment—was this Soul Pet letting the pet draw the prize?
“Dang, why didn’t I think of that? My luck has always been terrible since the Dawn Cup. If I had known, I would have let my Soul Pet try it!”
“Don’t even try. I just let my Soul Pet give it a shot… Well, the result was nothing to write home about. I’m doubling its training when we get back!”
“Champion Green Caterpillar’s luck must be something special! I have a feeling—something great is definitely coming!”
Green Caterpillar swaggered proudly up to the machine and placed the medal into the slot.
The massive holographic gashapon machine began to spin.
“Sii wu!”
Green Caterpillar watched, feeling a bit dizzy, and quickly called out.
The machine stopped.
From the mouths of the ten Dragon-type Soul Pets around, gashapon balls of various colors started popping out.
In an instant!
Blue Sky and White Clouds!
The crowd wasn’t in a hurry and kept watching.
Green Caterpillar seemed to think it was fun, so it took the medal out and put it back in.
The machine started spinning again.
“Sii wu!”
Green Caterpillar called out once more.
In an instant!
Blue Sky and White Clouds again!
Green Caterpillar was a bit annoyed. It was getting worked up and drew two more times in a row.
All Blue Sky and White Clouds.
Everyone was stunned. Wow, even a Soul Pet could get carried away after ten draws in a row.
Wang Che: “…”
Just as Green Caterpillar was about to go again, it suddenly felt a chill down its back.
Green Caterpillar quickly turned around and saw Wang Che’s “gentle” gaze, realizing it might have messed up big time!
Green Caterpillar hurried back, blinked at Wang Che, and put on an adorable expression:
“(^_-)☆”
Trying to charm its way out of trouble.
Wang Che snatched the medal back and said, “I’ll give this back when you’re older. No updates for a week, and snacks are cut in half.”
Green Caterpillar: “o(TωT)o”
He let it try once, and wow, it went all in—four sets of ten draws in a row. It really left Wang Che at a loss.
With luck like that, he must never let this little guy near anything lottery-related again!
The others held back their laughter.
Those who hadn’t gotten anything good, looking downcast before, suddenly perked up.
Seeing the situation, even the champion couldn’t get anything—they instantly felt balanced inside!
Totally acceptable!
“Champion Little Caterpillar isn’t so great after all!”
He Zhenfeng’s gloom vanished, and his mood brightened instantly.
Feng Xiao felt a bit smug too. So what if I’m the runner-up?
I still got one gold and one purple.
Wang Che did four sets of ten draws and got nothing but Blue Sky and White Clouds.
How could he not feel good about that?
Lin Xi smiled slightly but didn’t say anything.
“You can’t say that. After extreme bad luck comes good luck. I think Champion Little Caterpillar’s luck has all transferred to Wang Che. In the last ten draws, getting a Gold Flash shouldn’t be a problem,” someone else joked. “You gloaters are celebrating too soon.”
Wang Che ignored the others.
He walked up to the machine.
The first time he drew, Wang Che knew this thing wasn’t simple.
Back then, he didn’t have Divine Sense and could only rely on experience to get a rough idea.
But this Super Gashapon was definitely not ordinary.
This time, he had Divine Sense.
Divine Sense was no small matter.
To be honest, during the Qihang Cup battles, Wang Che hadn’t used Divine Sense for the sake of fairness.
If he had used it, most Soul Pets, and even his opponents’ intentions, wouldn’t have escaped his perception.
When facing that Ghost Disciple before, if Green Caterpillar hadn’t grasped Rebirth from Mortal Peril at the last moment, and if the Rescue Team hadn’t arrived in time,
Wang Che’s trump card would have been to use a secret technique that burned his Divine Sense, dealing a fatal blow to the Ghost Disciple’s mind and soul at the critical moment.
But he would have been weakened for a long time afterward, taking ages to recover.
At the Qihang Cup stage of the competition, even Telepathy wasn’t allowed.
With Divine Sense perception, it was basically impossible for any opponent to escape his awareness.
He could see right through every move and thought of the competitors.
With Telepathy, Divine Sense couldn’t reveal the opponent’s intentions anymore.
After all, Divine Sense wasn’t mind-reading.
But Wang Che hadn’t used it even once, relying entirely on his own battle experience.
“I’ll use Divine Sense to sense it when it starts spinning…”
Wang Che held the medal and placed it into the machine’s slot.
The gashapon machine began to spin.
The moment it started, Wang Che activated his Divine Sense and immediately sensed a unique energy.
‘So it really is wish power,’ Wang Che murmured to himself. ‘Could it be that this Super Gashapon is connected to a higher existence in this world? Is this great being using this method to deliver precious items to the people of this world?’
‘Let me think—the requirement for drawing is that only Soul Pact Masters and Soul Pet Battles can earn it.’
‘Soul Pet Battle is the practical reflection of a Soul Pact Master’s efforts in raising their Soul Pet… And the most crucial part of raising is the Life Soul Pact.’
‘In other words, Soul Pet Battle itself is an expression of the Life Soul Pact between a Soul Pact Master and their Soul Pet.’
‘The better the ranking in a Soul Pet Battle, the stronger the Life Soul Pact between the Soul Pact Master and their Soul Pet must be.’
‘Could it be that the pioneers who created the Life Soul Pact are using this method to reward those in this world who work hard to raise their Soul Pets and strengthen their Life Soul Pact?’
Wang Che understood.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the Super Gashapon was probably meant for this.
Otherwise, it just didn’t make sense.
Dino Tech had a big and powerful background, but it was merely a channel for distributing Super Gashapon draws.
Knowing this, Wang Che felt no pressure about drawing.
After all, he had also signed a Life Soul Pact and benefited from these perks.
Giving some wish power support to this pioneer was entirely reasonable.
“Stop!”
Wang Che called out quickly.
In an instant!
This time, it wasn’t Blue Sky and White Clouds!
But… a rainbow flash, with gold mixed in the rainbow!
In that moment, the dazzling rainbow light blinded everyone’s eyes!
“Holy cow, Rainbow Flash!”
Everyone on-site turned into exclamation-spouting contestants, staring in stunned disbelief…
