Li Tianhuan sat cross-legged on his simple wooden bed, the faint creaks of the aged frame muted by his focused calm. With the wild horned boar secured and the day's grinding complete, it was finally time to reap his rewards. Taking a deep breath, he called forth the system.
"System," he said with a measured tone, "open Gacha."
The crimson screen materialized before him, pulsing with an almost tangible energy. The familiar circular interface of the Gacha Store appeared, but this time, the anticipation in Li Tianhuan's gaze was matched by the shimmering "MULTI-PULL" button glowing prominently at its center.
Multi-Pull is much better than normal single pull, that's why Li Tianhuan only used Multi-Pull as there is a high chance of getting good things like S or A ranked pulls.
"720 KP, I can do 3 multi-pulls," he muttered to himself, checking his balance.
With steady hands, he tapped the button. The screen darkened momentarily before erupting in a spectacular display of light. The animation this time was unlike anything he had seen before.
From the void, an ethereal hand emerged, translucent and glowing with otherworldly brilliance. It raised ten massive dice, each radiating a distinct hue of energy. The hand tilted, releasing the dice onto a watery surface that rippled with soft, cerulean waves. The dice rolled and bounced, leaving trails of golden light in their wake. As they slowed, their final positions became clear.
Two dice shone with a resplendent gold glow, their surfaces etched with intricate patterns that seemed alive with power—Gold S Dice. One dice turned an ominous crimson, pulsating with a fiery intensity—Red Dice. The remaining seven settled into hues of deep sapphire blue, radiating a tranquil but firm energy—Blue Dice.
The ethereal hand faded, and the watery land dissolved into nothingness, leaving the ten dice hovering in mid-air before flipping over one by one. As each dice revealed its reward, text scrolled across the system screen, each line etched with clarity and precision.

"I am so damn rich right now, and with Refinement Path Master Attainment, I just need to get Rule Path attainment. Then I can create my own path," Li Tianhuan muttered, his eyes gleaming with determination. "After that, I'll aim to reach Rank 4 and upgrade my Rank 3 Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus Gu to Rank 4 by absorbing spirit springs."
He paused, glancing at the 10 Gacha Tickets that had joined his inventory. A grin spread across his face. "Now then, should I use these tickets too? Let's see what luck has in store."
With a decisive motion, he tapped the screen again, activating the tickets for another round of pulls. The screen flared brightly, and the dice animation began anew, filling the room with shimmering light.
One by one, the results of the pulls unfolded. Despite his hopes, one Gold S Dice appeared among the rewards. Instead, he received five Red Dice in total, each revealing valuable yet modest prizes. Among them were Gu worms such as the Wind Sensing Gu, which uses wind to sense the presence of others but it 's range is limited to 75 meters, and a Leaves Healing Gu, plant type Gu that uses it's leaves to heal injuries on the body. 3 offensive Gu worms, including the Flame Burst Gu, added versatility to his growing arsenal. The rest of the rewards included primeval stones that would aid his cultivation journey.
Li Tianhuan leaned back, exhaling a measured sigh. "I got one Gold S Dice this time, but these Red Dice rewards are still useful in some way," he muttered, inspecting his new acquisition. "Fu*k I used all my luck, I don't know how it will be from now on."
Satisfied with his progress, he laid down on his bed and allowed the exhaustion of the day to take over. Sleep came quickly, due to the mental and physical strain as he embraced into the calm sleep.
The next morning, Li Tianhuan woke to the faint light of dawn filtering through his window. Stretching and preparing for the day ahead, he gathered his belongings and stepped out of the house.
Upon arriving at the academy, Li Tianhuan noticed Yan Yueqing waiting by the entrance. Her black hair was tied neatly in a braid, and her sharp eyes sparkled as she saw Li Tianhuan came near her."Li Tianhuan," she called, her voice carrying a gentle lilt. "Did you refine the Gu that the Academy Elder gave us?"
"Yes, I did," Li Tianhuan replied with a slight nod, his tone calm yet respectful. "And you?"
She smiled shyly. "I refined it yesterday. It took a while, but with my grandfather's help I finished it. Oh, by the way…" Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink as she hesitated for a moment. "My grandfather asked me to invite you to our house for dinner tonight. Are you coming? I need to let him know."
Li Tianhuan raised an eyebrow, slightly amused by her question. "Dinner at your place? Sure, why not?" he said, his lips curling into a faint smile. "Do you know why he asked me to come there?"
She hesitated for a moment, her blush deepening. "I don't know the exact reason, but he said it's important—something about your future."
"Okay," he said simply, then turned to walk with her. Together, they entered the academy and made their way to the classroom, the quiet buzz of other students already filling the air.
