He opened his eyes again and looked at the window. He looked at the number 6 and his head started to ache. He tried to meditate like Rick told him but nothing's happening. He stood up and tried some fighting poses but still nothing.
Collapsing onto the chair, he slumped in defeat and found himself fixating on the window once again. "How the hell does this cultivation stuff even work?" he muttered to himself in exasperation.
He was about to start searching online but he suddenly remembered there's a Shop in the system.
'Maybe I can buy it at that shop. Let me see…"
Kai then closes the Daily Quest window and goes to the Shop window. In this page, there are 4 menu bars: ['Cultivation Method'], ['Martial Arts Skill'], ['Books of Knowledge'], ['Tools and Weapons'], and ['Rare Random Items'].
He snaps his fingers and thinks, 'Bingo! There you go!' However, when Kai clicks the cultivation method shop, nothing happens.
'What's going on? Why is it not opening? Is it a system bug? Hmm? Wait... the color of this menu is gray and the others are not.'
He tries to open the other windows, and he is able to open them normally, but when he clicks the cultivation method, it doesn't budge.
'Hmm... Do I need to do something first to unlock this feature, like the Chain Quest?'
Kai racked his brain, but he couldn't think of anything. 'Damn it! Shouldn't there be information on how to unlock this thing? Like when the system appeared, I suddenly felt that I knew how it works and have been doing it.'
He sighed, and a realization suddenly hit him. He remembered the Gotcha Capsule, and he hurriedly went to the Gotcha Page.

'Since it has all come down to this, let's just leave it up to luck to decide my destiny and get that cultivation method.'
Kai eagerly rubs his hands together and clenches them into fists, giving them a few good blows for good luck. He decides to do all the rituals he can think of to increase his chances, from blowing on his hands to crossing his fingers behind his back. Filled with anticipation, he gazes at the Capsule Vending Machine, where two tempting buttons beckon him.
[1x Draw] [10x Draw]
Without a second thought, Kai chooses the 10x Draw option. He clenches his fist and his heart starts to beat faster in anticipation.
Suddenly, the Vending Machine starts to shake on the screen, causing Kai's heart to race even more with excitement. The sleeping white cat perched atop the machine jolts awake, its eyes flash bright. In a dazzling display, the screen turns pure white, momentarily blinding Kai.
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Normal] $10000
When he saw the money his eyes only shook a little as his eyes were still glued to the screen, heart racing, palms sweaty, waiting for another reward to appear. But, to his disappointment, only one reward was shown.
"What the heck?! Is that all?" he blurted out, his voice filled with disbelief.
Frustrated, he decided to take matters into his own hands and clicked the screen. And guess what?
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Epic] Black Lamborghini Aventador.
"Whoa! A sports car! Oh my god! Holy shit! Is this for real?" Kai's voice reverberated that could wake up the sleeping princess.
Thankfully, she remained sound asleep, oblivious to Kai's unexpected outburst. Sheepishly, he coughed to regain his composure, refocusing his attention on the sleek black sports car right in front of him.
'Calm down! This might be a toy.'
'But, how can I get this thing?'
'Never mind, let's check the other rewards first.'
He clicked the screen again, but then he noticed a skip button above it. Without thinking twice, he clicked the skip button. All of a sudden, rewards popped up on the screen non-stop.
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Rare] Body Strengthening Pill
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Epic] High Healing Pill
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Rare] Low Healing Pill
Ding! Congratulations! [Epic] You won Detoxification Pill
Suddenly, on the 7th draw, a cat appeared and stared deeply at Kai. Its eyes transformed into a galaxy, and it let out a loud meow, sounding more like a roar. In a flash of bright light, Kai was temporarily blinded and instinctively shut his eyes.
The screen on the system started buzzing and shaking, as if something divine was about to materialize. Above Kai's house, in the dark starry sky, the stars began shining brightly and moving slowly as if they were alive, forming a gigantic dragon. The dragon's eyes opened, and it fixed its gaze in Kai's direction.
The dragon's roar reverberated throughout the nine heavens as it descended through the sky like a comet. The dragon crashed onto the house, enveloping it in a magical, starry light. Then, the dragon reduced in size and floated around Kai as if offering a dance ceremony. After a while, it entered the System window.

Within the boundless cosmos, a ginormous eye suddenly opened. It was as large as the stars. As its colossal lid lifted, the surrounding stars trembled with excitement, their brilliance intensifying as they joyously flitted about the eye. The eye pierced through the void and saw an individual.
A colossal nail strikes the empty space, causing a series of ripples and a gradual emergence of a crack. The flow of time all over the realms halts abruptly and freezes in motion. Amidst this astonishing event, only Kai remains in motion.
"Your existence must remain concealed...for now," the resolute voice emanating from the boundless.
The eye only stayed open for a while before slowly closing again. The starry sky returned to calm once more as if nothing had happened.

Ding! Congratulations! You won [UR] Cultivation Method: Star Dragon Conqueror Body Art.
The blinding light slowly dissipates, and Kai slowly opens his eyes. An awe-inspiring book, looking like a galaxy full of stars with a dragon carved into it, appears in front of him.
'This is?'
Kai's disbelief is quickly replaced by a surge of excitement. This is the cultivation method he has been relentlessly seeking, and now it stands right in front of him, a mind-boggling stroke of fate. But that's not all. What is in front of him is not just any cultivation method, but a UR cultivation method. Just by reading the title, it gives his heart an indestructible force of the conqueror's aura seeping from the book.
Kai put his right palm on his forehead and laughed lightly. 'Haha, is this for real? You didn't really disappoint me. The moment you appear, you always stir my cold heart. All of these feelings that I've forgotten a long time ago, you always awaken them. Damn! What should I do about you?'
Without a delay, he clicks the skip button again as it seems the auto function stops whenever he gets a UR item.
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Normal] School Bag.
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Normal] $10000
Ding! Congratulations! You won [Legend] Tools and Weapon: Golden Nine needles.
After all the prices were provided, the screen dimmed and returned to normal. The cat on the top of the vending machine closed its eyes as a zZ icon appeared.
Kai just stared at the cute white cat on the screen. He's trying to digest all the rewards that he received. All the rewards were too much for a normal high school boy.
But he still doesn't know how he can use them in real life. Will they appear like a puff?
The blaring sound of the alarm startled Kai out of his trance and he hurriedly turned off the stove. He open the lid and the delicious aroma wafted through the house, causing mouths to water with anticipation. Grabbing a spoon, he took a sip and sighed in satisfaction. Mission accomplished.
He then brought the pot to the dining table, but he didn't open the lid. He prepared the table first, and once he was done, he opened the lid.
The smell of the freshly cooked soup wafted through the air and entered Reika's nose. Her lips quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around and when she saw that she was in an unknown place, she started to panic. But when she saw Kai on the dining table, looking at her with a smile while holding the lid of the pot, she relaxed.
She slowly walks towards the table and is still a little dazed. There's even saliva on the side of her lips. Kai walks towards her and picks a tissue to wipe her lips. He fixes her disheveled hair, then hugs her tightly and whispers in her ear, "Did you sleep well, my little wife?"
