Newbie Gift Pack

Zhao Dongchuan returned home in a flash, closed the door, latched it, and climbed onto the kang. Then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and summoned the system.

Looking at the 'Draw Count: 10' in his mind, Zhao Dongchuan could no longer suppress his excitement and burst into laughter. The laughter sounded so wretched, more villainous than any villain.

After several minutes of wild laughter, he finally calmed down. With his consciousness, he excitedly triggered the draw button, and immediately, the large turntable began to emit colorful lights and spin.

With a 'ding' system prompt, there were no surprises; he drew a Bronze Treasure Chest. Zhao Dongchuan didn't draw again but chose to open the chest. He silently clicked on it, and as a flash of light passed, the treasure chest disappeared, replaced by an ordinary 'fountain pen'.

[Item: Fountain Pen x1 (Study hard and strive for progress)]

At this moment, a fountain pen also appeared in his inventory.

Zhao Dongchuan looked at the item description and subconsciously rubbed his eyes. This was a prize? Couldn't it be less mundane? Where was the grandeur, System? Where was your grandeur? Zhao Dongchuan complained to the system, but it didn't react at all.

He endured it and continued opening.

'Ding'

[Item: Rice 100 jin (Rich in nutrition, makes everything taste good)]

Zhao Dongchuan was quite satisfied with what he got this time. His grain was almost gone, so this was a good supplement, meaning he wouldn't go hungry.

Then, Zhao Dongchuan clicked 'continuous draw' and opened all the remaining 8 treasure chests. He had originally wanted to save a few, but considering his current circumstances, he felt it was safer to open them all early on to strengthen himself.

Without any luck, all he drew were Bronze Treasure Chests, and Zhao Dongchuan opened all of them.

[Item: Carrot x1 (Rich in nutrition and various vitamins)]

[Item: Toilet Paper x1 roll (Very soft and skin-friendly)]

[Item: Glasses (Wear them, and you'll be like a different person)]

[Item: Veterinary Medicine (Can cure any animal)]

[Skill: Cooking (Apprentice level, common home-cooked meals, upgradeable)]

[Item: Bicycle Ticket x1 (Valid nationwide, redeemable for one bicycle)]

[Item: Paper Money 500 yuan (Money is essential)]

[Item: Five Animal Frolics x1 (Going further and further down the path of a beast)]

As Zhao Dongchuan continuously opened the treasure chests, his inventory, which was previously empty, suddenly became full. He noticed that the 'Cooking' skill was also in the inventory, appearing like a solidified book glowing with light, but upon closer inspection, the book was illusory. He couldn't help but click it with his mind.

A flash of light jumped out of the inventory and flew into his body. To outsiders, nothing happened, but Zhao Dongchuan himself saw the light fly into his brain and be absorbed. As a stream of information flowed through his mind, he mastered some basic cooking skills.

He used to cook some dishes, but he had never systematically learned cooking. However, the Apprentice-level Cooking skill provided a systematic learning of basic culinary knowledge, allowing him to methodically prepare common home-cooked meals.

Looking at the 'Veterinary Medicine' in his inventory, Zhao Dongchuan fell into contemplation.

The money and grain were good. 500 yuan was not a small sum. Currently, an ordinary worker earned only about 30-50 yuan a month, so this was more than a year's income for them, let alone for people in the countryside.

This money could solve his immediate basic living difficulties, making him worry-free about food and clothing, while the bicycle could solve transportation problems.

But what were this carrot and toilet paper? It's not that they were bad; people in the countryside now used leaves or dirt clods to wipe themselves, and there wasn't much paper. As for carrots, every household in the countryside had them.

Wasn't it too extravagant to get these with drawing opportunities? Zhao Dongchuan once again fell into contemplation. Were the items from these Bronze Treasure Chests so trashy? Zhao Dongchuan was a bit disappointed.

Finally, Zhao Dongchuan was relieved. Having something was better than nothing, and the money and grain were very good. He comforted himself with the simple and unadorned spirit of the Chinese people.

It seemed this inventory also had a spatial storage function, Zhao Dongchuan realized as he looked at it. Wasn't this an inner space?

He wondered if he could put items back after taking them out, so he began an experiment. He used his mind to click and take out a carrot. The next moment, the carrot silently appeared in his hand, as if it had always been there.

And Zhao Dongchuan felt as if he could also control where the item appeared. As long as it was within a 10-meter radius centered on his body, he could make the item appear with his mind.

Zhao Dongchuan then tested putting it back, and the carrot returned to the inventory. At this point, he wondered if he could put items not from the system's treasure chests into the inventory. He tested a thermos but found it didn't work, neither by touching it nor by thinking about it.

Only items from the system's treasure chests could be freely taken out and put back; nothing else, no matter what it was, worked.

"I wonder if spatial items like space rings will drop later," Zhao Dongchuan mused.

He took out the 'carrot' again and held it in his hand, intending to test its effect. Yes, Zhao Dongchuan was going to eat this 'carrot' raw. Didn't they say, 'System products must be quality products'? He wanted to try it.

He decided to try it. Zhao Dongchuan didn't hesitate and took a bite.

Immediately, a refreshing aroma filled his mouth, and a faint sweetness lingered between his teeth and lips.

Damn, it's really fragrant!!!

Zhao Dongchuan, who hadn't eaten a single bite of food, could no longer hold back. Crunch! Crunch! In just two bites, the entire carrot was swallowed.

Zhao Dongchuan felt a refreshing coolness penetrate straight to his crown, and all his fatigue and hunger disappeared. He was now full of energy and vigor. He checked his attribute panel: his physique, agility, and strength had all become 1.

[Physique: 1, Intelligence: 1, Agility: 1, Strength: 1]

His previously weak physical condition was instantly brought back to a normal person's level! Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but feel moved. Damn, System, I was wrong about you!!! Please be magnanimous and forgive me!

Thank you, System, thank you, heaven, thank you, earth, thank you, fate, for bringing us together... (I actually started singing, damn, that's not right, the style is off, come back, come back!)

At this moment, Zhao Dongchuan was happy. He felt his heart was full of positive energy. After releasing his emotions and letting his excited mood calm down, he was about to continue checking if other item functions would also be unique. Before he could take out other items, the village's loud loudspeaker blared, announcing that it was time to start work.
