Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

In the room, Xiao Tianyang opened his eyes, his gaze bright. For a moment, it seemed as though a bright red flame flashed through his pupils, but it disappeared in an instant, leaving everything as it was.

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Xiao Tianyang relaxed his expression and murmured, "The effect of this Small Soul Power Pill is incredible. Such a small pill helped me reach level 9. If I take a few more..."

Just as Xiao Tianyang was beginning to take it for granted, the wooden door creaked open, and a burly man in his 50s stepped inside. His eyes were cloudy, and his clothing was disheveled.

Xiao Tianyang immediately recognized the man in front of him—Tang San's father, Tang Hao!

"He just woke up,"Tang Hao spoke first, then waved his hand, saying, "Village Chief, I'll leave this child to you."

"What a poor child."As the voice echoed, Tang Hao stepped aside, revealing a gray-haired old man dressed in neat clothing.

If Xiao Tianyang guessed correctly, this old man should be the village chief of Holy spirit village, Old Jack.

"Tang Hao, It's fortunate to have you here this time."

At this point, Old Jack seemed unwilling to say more. He looked at Xiao Tianyang, his eyes softening.

"Tianyang, do you recognize Grandpa?"

At this moment, Xiao Tianyang lowered his head, his eyes flashing as he thought to himself, "It seems I'm originally from Holy spirit village, so this works out. I don't need to come up with excuses to stay."

Even with the strength to protect himself, Xiao Tianyang still wanted to connect with Tang Hao and Tang San, the father and son.

Especially the latter—he's the future Sea god as well as Asura god with the protagonist's halo. Even if he has no malicious intentions, he'll still benefit, right?

But Old Village Chief Jack, on the other hand, obviously misunderstood.

Seeing Xiao Tianyang with such an expression made him feel even more uncomfortable. Unable to help himself, he stepped forward and gently rubbed Xiao Tianyang's head, comforting him, "Son, I know you're feeling sad right now, but everything will pass. Come, let's go. Go home with Grandpa."

Thoughts raced through Xiao Tianyang's mind.

"It's time now. I mustn't show any flaws. Just stay silent and pretend to be dazed—this will look normal!"

With the idea in mind, Xiao Tianyang kept his head lowered to avoid being seen. He stood up in a stiff, lifeless manner, like a soulless doll, and positioned himself next to Old Village Chief Jack.

Although he wasn't a professional actor, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that with Tang Hao's strength, he could definitely tell if something was off. But in reality, there was nothing—Xiao Tianyang was just too ordinary before.

Even in the entire Holy Spirit Village, his family was somewhat invisible. If it weren't for the kind-hearted Old Village Chief Jack, who was familiar with every household in the village, it would be normal for him not to know Xiao Tianyang.

But now, Tang Hao was still in a period of sadness, too disheartened to care about his own son, let alone anyone else.

As someone who was helped and saved, Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but wonder if he had a "rag-picking" mentality.

That's why Xiao Tianyang's performance allowed him to get by without suspicion.

As for Old Village Chief Jack, he didn't suspect anything—he simply looked helpless.

With a hint of affection, Village Chief Jack held Xiao Tianyang's hand and looked up, saying, "Let's go first."

In response, Tang Hao waved his hand, returned to the forge, picked up the hammer from the ground, and began his daily blacksmithing work, the sound of clanging metal filling the air.

Xiao Tianyang remained silent throughout. Even when Village Chief Jack brought him to his home, he continued in this state, listening to the old man's comforting words.

It wasn't until dusk settled in the west that Village Chief Jack sighed softly and said, "Tianyang, why don't you come live with Grandpa for a while?"

He had said everything he needed to, but Xiao Tianyang remained in this state, which made him very worried.

At the same time, in the eyes of Old Village Chief Jack, Xiao Tianyang was still just a five or six-year-old child. No matter the situation, it wasn't an option to let him live alone here.

Especially at a time when the family was going through significant changes, it was even more necessary for someone to be there to help resolve the knot in his heart.

But Xiao Tianyang, on the other hand, didn't think that way. He had finally gotten the chance to be alone, and he wasn't about to let it slip away.

Therefore, Xiao Tianyang suppressed the emotions in his heart, lowered his voice, and spoke in a choked tone "Grandpa Jack, I want to stay home alone. Is that okay?"

While his reasoning sounded good, using it to make the kind-hearted old man leave would never work.

So Xiao Tianyang added, "Don't worry, Grandpa Jack, I won't do anything foolish."

Sure enough, with those words, Old Village Chief Jack felt uneasy, but he still stood up and walked to the door. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind him:

"Tianyang, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to cry out. It might help you feel better."

"Remember, if you have any difficulties, come to Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely find a way to help you!"

Xiao Tianyang didn't get up to see him off but simply nodded dully. The naturalness of his performance even surprised him a little.

After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the sound of the door closing. Xiao Tianyang let out a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "Good thing I'm smart, or it would've been hard to hide my flaws and keep others from noticing something."

But soon, Xiao Tianyang pushed those thoughts aside. He quickly climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and checked his body.

Of course, the situation was exceptionally good. Not only was there no injury, but there was also a burning energy nourishing his body.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Tianyang quickly began calculating in his mind.

"In this dangerous world, if I want to protect myself, I have to rely on myself. Luckily, I have a system. This can be considered a shortcut."

"The range of lottery values is quite broad. Designated tasks should trigger certain conditions. Defeating a soul master or a soul beast doesn't necessarily mean killing the opponent, so there's still room for growth."

"But first, I need to get in touch with Tang San. After all, he's the protagonist in the future. Maybe I can gain some benefits from him..."

Suddenly, as soon as he thought of this, Xiao Tianyang's mind was interrupted by a system prompt.

Ding!

The host has triggered a side mission, [Contact Tang San].

Objective: Establish a good friendship with him.

Task reward: Lottery value x10!"

Sitting up from the bed, Xiao Tianyang looked shocked. "So this is how the mission was triggered!"

He then asked the system, "How many draws can I make with just one lottery value?"

This question was crucial, something he had forgotten before but remembered now.

The lottery mode has been unlocked. There is only one type available: 100 lottery points, with random draws enabled!

"Is the 100-point lottery drawn only once, or is it random?"

Xiao Tianyang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The situation seemed a bit different from what he had expected!

But then, he shook his head. "I'm being a bit greedy. Forget it, 100 points is still better than nothing."

With that thought, he felt a sense of relief and quickly fell asleep while lying on the bed.
