"Okay, I can join the Great King Mountain, but I won't be at anyone's disposal," said Elder Zhao.
In other words, he was just going to be an in-name teacher at the Great King Mountain and enjoy the benefits it offered. Even if something happened to the Great King Mountain, whether he would intervene would depend on his mood.
"No problem!" Su Yu answered without hesitation or even thinking about it. With an Elixir Saint's presence, the Great King Mountain would immediately be more stable no matter what. In addition, Mu Xiaoxiao was his disciple. How could he leave her in a lurch if something really happened?
Most importantly, he would be able to obtain a reward in a lucky draw!
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Martial Saint-class expert."
"Dan Yin, a Martial Saint powerhouse, who also has a flair for alchemy, and is known as Elixir Shroud."
"System Comment: He is spontaneous and unrestrained, has been traveling the Five Deltas Continent for fun, and is bent on finding disciples who are talented in alchemy. Unless provoked or his principles are violated, the possibility of him leaving the Great King Mountain is not high."
"1x Prize Draw chance."
"Elder Zhao, we will be family from now on." Su Yu grinned, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Hmph! Since I've joined the Great King Mountain, you'd better behave yourself, kid. If I find out that you've done something atrocious, I won't spare you!" Elder Zhao humphed coldly, unable to tolerate seeing Su Yu getting all smug and conceited.
"Yes, I will definitely comply with your teachings." Su Yu's face suddenly became solemn, and he straightened his back as he spoke respectfully while performing a military salute from his previous life.
"You're very witty." Su Yu's exaggerated antics made Elder Zhao burst into laughter as he shot Su Yu a hinting glance while glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao from time to time.
Su Yu immediately understood. "Xiaoxiao, Elder Zhao will be the Great King Mountain's Guest Elder. He's an Elixir Saint, so how about you acknowledge him as your master?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Su," Mu Xiaoxiao answered straightforwardly.
Elder Zhao's heart tensed up, and he felt extremely bitter.
What's so good about this kid? You two have only met each other, and you're so obedient. From now on, I must teach Xiaoxiao well and prevent her from being compelled by this kid.
"I only have some porridge here. Why don't you serve him some porridge in place of tea and take him as your master?" Su Yu suggested. He did not care about those formalities at all.
Fortunately, Elder Zhao was not the type to be particular about details. Besides, he was too eager about taking in his disciple.
Ding!
"Initial relationship between the Great King Mountain's characters established."
The map in Su Yu's mind changed again. There was a new graphic, similar to a pyramidal arrangement, with Su Yu at the top, annotated with the title 'Mountain Great King'.
Ever since Su Yu started, there were many more branches below, one of which belonged to Elder Zhao, who was annotated with the title 'Great King Mountain Guest' and was linked to Mu Xiaoxiao. They shared a master-disciple relationship. The other branches were all blank as he was waiting for new members to join.
Su Yu could see the management template clearly at a glance. Even if there were new members in the Great King Mountain in the future, Su Yu would be able to find each person quickly and find out their statuses by clicking on their avatars.
Su Yu wasn't eager to go ahead with the prize draw and instead laid on the bed, where he tossed and turned until twelve midnight. After accumulating two prize draw chances, he opened the system.
Ding!
"It's the beginning of the month, 1x Free Prize Draw chance!"
Su Yu was overjoyed. In the prize draw selection, there was an annotation that stated, "Remaining Prize Draw Chances: 2".
"Would you like to proceed with the Prize Draw?"
Su Yu selected the 'Yes' option without hesitation.
The scene changed immediately as 30 cards appeared in front of him, arranged according to five rows and six columns. Six of the cards were marked as the Spirit Stone category, six more were marked as the Miscellaneous category, and another six were marked as the Buildings category, while the remaining six were Secret Manual cards.
Su Yu immediately felt invigorated and looked at the 30 cards carefully.
The cards in the Spirit Stone category were ranked accordingly: Inferior-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Superior-Grade Spirit Stones x100, Inferior-Grade Spirit Stones x500, Mid-Grade Spirit Stones x500, Superior-Grade Spirit Stones x500.
His land cards were namely 1 unit of Class-1 Fruit Land, 1 unit of Grade 1 Arable Land, 1 unit of Class-1 Pasture Land, 1 unit of Class-2 Fruit Land, 1 unit of Class-2 Arable Land, and 1 unit of Class-2 Pasture Land.
There were items like Hoe, Ax, Fishing Rod, Firewood Knife, Vegetable Knife, Great King Mountain Accessories, and Attire in the Miscellaneous category. Note: Attached with Stats.
The Buildings category included Meridian Hall, Training Room, Great King Mountain Entrance, Martial Arts Ring, Library, and Heroes Hall.
The Secret Manuals category included Mountain Great King Heart Manual, Agriculture Skill Book, Firewood-Chopping Skill Book, Fishing Techniques Skill Book, Weeding Skill Book, and Hunting Skill Book.
Su Yu was bedazzled and bursting with joy. He reckoned that those items should have appeared together with the other items, and it was a selection of one from each category.
As soon as he looked through the information, he placed the cards back. There was a uniform purple pattern on the back of each card. He then began to shuffle the cards, and the sequences were messed up. He did not know which each card represented.
It was obvious that he had to pick a random one based on luck. Su Yu's heart trembled, and he was ready to pick one.
Although most of the items seemed to be of a rather low standard, the planted rice's outcome made him believe that the items given by the system were definitely luxurious items. Although they looked ordinary, they were invaluable.
However, if he were to obtain 100 low-grade spirit stones during the draw, he would be extremely upset.
The first type of spirit stone, which Su Yu could earn with his own abilities, was naturally the cheapest, while the second type could be purchased with more spirit stones in the store. Thus, they weren't considered much. The third, fourth, and fifth types were the most important.
Although the Miscellaneous category items sounded like daily necessities, it would definitely be different from the miscellaneous items that could be purchased from the store as Stats were attached to them. Since it was not sold in the store, there was definitely a reason for it. The items in the Buildings category should be the foundation of the Great King Mountain. The five types of manuals may have names that sounded low level, but Su Yu was very confident that the system would surprise him.
Which card should I choose? Please, don't let me get spirit stones. It'd be best if I can get a martial arts or Building one. Su Yu was stuck in a dilemma as to which card to choose.
It shall be you!
Su Yu ground his teeth and chose the third card from the right.
The other cards gradually disappeared, while the chosen card moved to the middle. It gradually became bigger before turning over slowly.
Su Yu's face flushed as he stared at the cards and mumbled continuously, "No spirit stones, no land. I want a building and a martial arts card!"
It was not a Spirit Stone card!
Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief. The spirit stones cards were entirely white, but this card's sides were brown.
It was not a Land card, either!
Su Yu was overjoyed. The bottom of the Land cards was black, but this card was obviously not it.
It's a secret manual. It must be a secret manual. This is a world of martial arts. As the Mountain Great King, I naturally have to be at an advantage and suppress the rest. I want a secret manual, Su Yu thought to himself hysterically.
Although the buildings were important, they were only meant for a facade. The most important thing was to strengthen himself.
At that moment, the card was already turned halfway, revealing a knife.
Su Yu was stunned, too. It was an item from the Miscellaneous category.
Miscellaneous items are not bad either, but I wonder whether it's a vegetable knife or a firewood knife.
Since it was from the third category, it definitely had a high value, and he didn't lose out this time.
Finally, a bright blade appeared on the card. The knife was narrow, the back was thick, and the tip was curved. The word 'Firewood Knife' was written below the card!
