29: Chapter 29 The Golden Legend!

Chen You suddenly felt a bit of regret.

He regretted being so cautious yesterday, not entering the city directly to take a look at this Supreme Tower!

If he had come yesterday and activated this Supreme Membership, wouldn't that mean he'd already be carrying a Heaven-tier treasure today?

Caution really does mess things up sometimes!

Chen You lamented inwardly, but his face remained calm.

He looked at the giant lucky wheel slowly emerging before him and rubbed his hands together.

He said to Hill impatiently, "Draw! Right now!"

He had spent a billion for this exact moment!

Before the draw, Chen You suddenly remembered the ritual he always performed before pulling cards in his previous life.

He cleared his throat and made a request to Hill with a straight face.

"Um, can you play 'Good Luck Comes' as background music for me?"

"...?"

The flawless professional smile on Hill's face showed a very slight hint of stiffness.

A trace of confusion that even data streams couldn't hide flashed in her deep blue eyes.

"Respected guest, is what you mentioned... some kind of incantation or movement that can increase Luck?"

She maintained her elegant posture and inquired with great rigor.

Looking at her serious expression, Chen You immediately lost the idea.

True, expecting an NPC from another world to know an Earthly divine tune was a bit of a tall order.

"Never mind, forget I said anything." Chen You waved his hand, no longer dwelling on it.

He refocused his attention on the giant wheel of light before him.

The wheel was divided into ten equal sectors, with no specific item names marked, using colors instead to distinguish grades.

Three 'Huang' grade green, three 'Xuan' grade blue, two 'Di' grade purple, and... two 'Tian' grade gold!

A one-fifth chance to hit the highest reward!

Chen You took a deep breath.

In any game he had ever played, this probability would only be released as a benefit if the developers were drunk.

"System, don't you dare let me down!"

In his heart, he prayed to the Three Pure Ones, the Jade Emperor, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Only then did he reach out a finger and tap the "Start" button in the center of the wheel!

Buzz—

The wheel gave a soft hum and instantly began to spin at high speed, various colors of light interweaving into a brilliant halo that dazzled the eyes.

Chen You's gaze was fixed firmly on the wheel, and his heart unhelpfully began to race.

Even though he knew the state was footing the bill for all of this, he was still nervous.

This kind of gacha mechanism would make any player's heart race in any game.

Not to mention, this was a draw opportunity that cost a billion!

The pointer swept through the rapidly spinning halo like a bolt of lightning chasing flowing light.

Gradually, the wheel's speed slowed down.

The pointer passed through green... blue... green... in sequence.

Chen You held his breath.

It passed over purple...

His heart rose to his throat.

The pointer's speed grew slower and slower, as if entering slow motion, swaying back and forth at the boundary between gold and purple, teasing him to the extreme.

"Gold! Gold! Gold!" Chen You screamed frantically in his mind.

Finally, at the moment Chen You was about to shout out loud, the pointer crossed that boundary line.

Amidst a series of crisp and pleasant bell chimes, it came to a steady stop within one of the golden areas!

In an instant, the entire wheel erupted in golden light!

A thick pillar of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Chen You, as a grand and solemn system notification sounded in his ears!

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a Tian-tier Grand Prize!]

Golden Legend!

Even Hill's eternal professional smile finally showed a hint of genuine emotion when she saw this flash of gold.

She bowed slightly, her tone carrying a trace of amazement and congratulation.

"Congratulations, honored supreme member, you have obtained a 'Tian' grade prize."

Simultaneously, a system notification box popped up in front of Chen You.

[System Notification: Congratulations! You have obtained the Tian-tier cultivation technique—Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique in the Supreme Draw!]

[Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique (Cultivation Technique Skill Book)]

[Quality: Tian-tier]

[Description: Legend has it that this was the ultimate technique of the Heaven-Shattering City Lord in ancient times. It consists of nine forms; once the sword is drawn, it can shatter the firmament. To practice this method, one must possess supreme talent in the Dao of the Sword and an indomitable will.]

[Learning Requirement: Class - Cultivator.]

A Tian-tier cultivation technique!

And it's an offensive sword technique!

I'm rich!

This was a massive profit!

Looking at that ancient sword technique manual emitting a faint golden light, Chen You was so excited he almost jumped up.

The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art was his foundation, his internal cultivation method, determining the depth of his spiritual power and his cultivation speed.

But before this, his only means of attack were hacking around with a novice iron sword like a brawler or throwing talismans.

What he had always lacked was a true technique of slaughter!

And now, a Tian-tier sword technique had directly filled his biggest weakness!

"Phew..." Chen You let out a long breath, forcefully suppressing the wild joy in his heart.

He immediately chose to learn it.

[System Notification: Do you wish to learn the first form of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique?]

"Yes!"

A golden light flew out from the manual and instantly sank into the space between Chen You's eyebrows.

Countless insights regarding sword moves, usage techniques, and spiritual power circulation routes flooded into his mind like a tide.

[System Notification: You have learned the first form of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique—'Startled Swan'.]

['Startled Swan': An agile and swift offensive sword move. Consumes 5 points of spiritual power, dealing 200% Attack Power damage. Has a certain chance to trigger the 'Armor Break' effect.]

200% Attack Power!

And after learning it, Chen You naturally discovered that this move could be used in melee when equipped with a sword-type weapon.

At the same time, when not equipped with a sword-type weapon, it could also emit sword qi as a ranged attack!

Strong!

Too strong!

Just then, Hill, who was standing to the side, smiled and spoke again, her voice like a spring breeze.

"Congratulations, honored guest. As a special gift for your first activation of the Supreme Membership, the system will grant you an additional 'Xuan' grade draw opportunity."

As she spoke, she waved her delicate hand, and three cyan cards with identical backs floated before Chen You.

"Please choose your gift."

There's a gift too?

Chen You was stunned, then overjoyed.

Even if it was only the lowest Xuan-tier, who wouldn't love something for free?

He didn't think much of it and followed his instinct, choosing the card in the middle.

The card flipped over, turning into a cyan light that entered the space between his eyebrows.

[Ding! You have obtained the Xuan-tier skill—Gazing at Qi to See the Heart.]

[Skill: Gazing at Qi to See the Heart]

[Quality: Xuan-tier]

[Effect: Your eyes have received a negligible enhancement, allowing you to see through appearances and vaguely perceive anomalies invisible to the naked eye.]

"Gazing at Qi to See the Heart?"

Chen You smacked his lips, not quite understanding what this skill was actually for.

It felt a bit useless.

Whatever!

It was free anyway, better than nothing.

Chen You quickly put this Xuan-tier skill to the back of his mind, as his attention was drawn by Hill's next words.

"Honored guest, the Supreme Tower's service network spans every corner of the 'Source Realm', whether you are in a bustling main city or a remote village."

"As long as you find a Supreme Tower, you can enjoy the same level of service."

Hill bowed slightly, her deep blue eyes gazing at Chen You, her tone carrying an imperceptible depth.

"At the same time, as a supreme member, you have the right to consult the Supreme Tower on any matter."

"As long as it is known to the Supreme Tower, we will provide the answer for you."

Any matter?

Chen You's heart stirred.

He instantly thought of that unresolved countdown above his head.

[PVP Protection Mode Remaining Time: 29 days 10 hours 07 minutes...]

Previously at the underground base, Zhang Yunhai from the tactical team had also mentioned it.

This thirty-day newbie protection period was his last and only safe window for development.

But what about after the protection period ends?

What would happen?

Would those guys on the leaderboard who were already over level ninety with racial names that sounded incredibly powerful pounce on him like sharks smelling blood?

What exactly was the PVP mechanism of the "Source Realm" like?

Would there be penalties for malicious kills?

These were questions that Director Li Guoan and the entire expert group couldn't answer for him.

But now, an answer seemed to be right in front of him.

Chen You's eyes became sharp as he asked in a heavy voice:

"I want to know, what changes will occur after the newbie protection period ends?"
