Chapter 13: Two Lottery Draws
【Congratulations, dear host! Through unremitting efforts, you have successfully made your partner pregnant and gained one lottery opportunity.】
…
On this day, Zhou Luo heard the long-absent system notification sound.
He opened the lottery interface joyfully.
The white lottery wheel hovered quietly in the void, its seven areas showing no sign of change.
As he had made two women pregnant at the same time, he obtained two lottery opportunities.
Zhou Luo stared fixedly at the wheel.
He hoped that something useful would come out this time, too.
Thinking this, he started the first lottery draw.
The golden sphere of light spun rapidly on the wheel, sweeping past one area after another.
Finally, under Zhou Luo\’s gaze, it landed in the \"Misc.\" area.
【Congratulations, dear host! You have obtained the charm boost!】
【The reward has been automatically applied to the host!】
What the hell?
Zhou Luo couldn\’t help but utter a swear word.
A charm boost?
What kind of reward was this?
Zhou Luo found it hard to accept this result for a moment.
He never dreamed that the lottery rewards of this system could include such useless junk.
Even though the poison crafting skill was unpopular, at least it had some use.
What use was this charm boost?
Would it make him look more handsome?
But as a son-in-law, he already had four wives—what did he need charm for?
Zhou Luo felt utterly speechless but helpless.
Looking at the last lottery opportunity, he couldn\’t help but pray in his heart.
System, could you stop messing with me?
Could something useful appear?
He had toiled day and night diligently; you couldn\’t treat him like this.
Amid a torrent of grumbles, he started the second lottery draw.
The golden sphere of light spun again.
This time, as if the system had heard Zhou Luo\’s words, the golden sphere gradually slowed down and came unmistakable to rest in the \"Techniques\" area.
Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the Spirit Gathering Technique!
Reward has been automatically sent to your backpack. Please check!
Zhou Luo\’s eyes brightened.
The system finally acted human.
He quickly glanced at his backpack and saw the distinct pattern of a jade book appear in the backpack slot.
As Zhou Luo\’s mind focused, details of the \"Spirit Gathering Technique\" emerged.
—
Technique: Spirit Gathering Technique
Grade: Mid-Qi Refinement
Description: Practicing this technique accelerates the absorption of ambient spiritual energy while purging impurities, resulting in purer spiritual energy.
—
The simple description left Zhou Luo momentarily conflicted.
He had expected some top-tier technique.
But this was merely an auxiliary skill aiding cultivation.
Still, better than that useless \"charm boost.\"
At this thought, Zhou Luo found a sliver of consolation.
He didn’t hesitate; he used it immediately.
Though two draws were complete, Zhou Luo felt little joy.
These rewards paled in comparison to his last ones.
\"Someday, I must wash my face before drawing,\" he resolved inwardly, seated cross-legged on the meditation mat.
He then decided to test the Spirit Gathering Technique.
To his surprise, the performance of this mid-Qi Refinement technique exceeded expectations.
He clearly perceived it: the spiritual energy absorbed now doubled his usual intake, and its purity was markedly higher.
Truly superior to my clan\’s low-tier technique—far surpassed it by at least one level.
If he trained with this at a spiritual vein… his progress would surely skyrocket.
This realization slightly lifted his spirits.
By noon, Lin Fei Ying arrived outside his training room door. She tapped lightly. \"Husband, the meal is ready.\"
\"Coming.\"
Zhou Luo responded, rising and opening the door.
The instant it parted, Lin Fei Ying’s flawlessly beautiful face greeted him.
She met his gaze.
Their eyes locked—then, unexpectedly, she froze. In the next heartbeat, a flush crept visibly across her cheeks.
\"What’s wrong?\" Zhou Luo asked in bewilderment, noting her reaction.
Though Lin Fei Ying was naturally shy… they’d lived together for so long. Why was she suddenly blushing like a new bride?
Was it because she had a fever?
\"It\’s nothing,\" Lin Fei Ying replied, head lowered and voice soft, before quickly walking away.
Zhou Luo felt utterly confused.
In the dining room, Lin Qing Han occupied the seat of honor, with Lin Zi Er and Lin Yi Yi positioned to her left in that order.
Shortly after, Lin Fei Ying entered, cheeks flushed, and silently took a seat beside Lin Yi Yi with her head bowed.
\"Sister, did husband do something to you?\" Lin Yi Yi asked, eyes sparkling with mischief as she gazed at her.
Lin Fei Ying trembled slightly before looking up and shooting her an annoyed glare. \"Nonsense.\"
At that moment, Zhou Luo appeared at the doorway.
His presence immediately drew the attention of all three women, three pairs of beautiful eyes turning toward him in unison.
An instant later, peculiar expressions spread across each of their faces.
\"Is there something on my face?\" Zhou Luo wondered aloud, touching his cheek.
Lin Yi Yi cupped her face in her hands, beaming delightedly at him. \"Husband, you look exceptionally handsome today.\"
Lin Zi Er nodded in agreement beside her.
Only Lin Qing Han remained motionless, though a trace of panic deep within her eyes betrayed her cool composure.
\"Do I not look the same every day?\"
Zhou Luo muttered as he sat down next to Lin Qing Han.
Throughout the entire exchange, the three women never once shifted their gaze away from him, observing him as if admiring a priceless work of art.
What baffled Zhou Luo even more was this:
During the meal, all four women kept stealing glances at him, and even enthusiastically piled food into his bowl.
He could understand the others doing so, but even Lin Qing Han had exceptionally placed a piece of meat into his bowl.
What on earth was happening?
Zhou Luo felt completely bewildered.
However, reflecting on Lin Yi Yi\’s earlier remark, a dawning realization gradually emerged.
Could it be because of that \"charm boost\"?
Judging by how all four women were acting toward him, it seemed genuinely possible.
In the afternoon, Zhou Luo deliberately put it to the test.
He discovered it was indeed true.
For example, when he asked Lin Qing Han for cultivation guidance—something she would normally brush off with \"figure it out yourself\"—today she actually sat down and patiently explained everything.
Likewise, the usually shy Lin Fei Ying typically disliked daytime intimacy, yet surprisingly didn\’t refuse that day.
But what truly startled him happened later.
During his evening visit to Lin Zhi Shou,
the old man proved noticeably more amiable than usual, treating him warmly—a stark contrast to his demeanor of previous days.
Even when Zhou Luo purposely made a careless mistake…
Lin Zhi Shou merely sighed with disapproval instead of scolding him, simply saying, \"Don’t be so careless next time.\"
In that instant, Zhou Luo suddenly realized this \"charm boost\" wasn\’t so useless after all.
At least in certain situations, it could bring unexpected advantages.
Half a month later, just as anticipated, the three women were confirmed by the family to be pregnant.
In light of the news, Lin De personally visited their courtyard.
