Chapter 490: Advanced Store And Lucky Stone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With that thought in mind, Su Yang did not bother about the other items. Instead, the first thing he did was to click on [Lucky Stone]. He wanted to see what that item's function was.

After skimming through it, Su Yang was a little surprised. 'It's completely different from what I had imagined.

'When I first saw this item, I thought that it was supposed to give others extra luck, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

'[Lucky Stone] actually increases the success rate when a point is being added.'

[Lucky Stone: Each Lucky Stone increases the success rate when adding a point onto any items that are +3 or above.]

'10%? This isn't a low probability...'

Su Yang took a look at the price. '600 coins per stone? That's pretty expensive, It's 100 coins more expensive than a [Random Point].' However, that price was nothing for a tycoon like Su Yang. After all, Su Yang had already accumulated more than 60,000 coins over the past few days.

'However, no matter how cheap it is, it doesn't mean that I will buy it. After all, all the coins earned have been through my hard efforts despite how much I have at the moment.'

Therefore, he had to continue to study what the function of it was.

'Could it be that the probability of adding points in the future would be very low?

'That's going to be bad news...'

Su Yang put down the [Lucky Stone] and started to look at every slot. 'There are no changes to the [Random Points], it's still on a trading basis, how casual.

'However, its price has been lowered by a little, going from 500 coins to 480 coins. Then again, I don't really like that number, it doesn't look auspicious.

'Next, the [Guardian Talisman]. The price of the [Guardian Talisman] has also decreased slightly, going from 100 coins to 80 coins. I like this number.

'The third item, the [Recipe Item].' At first, Su Yang thought that there would not be any changes to the [Recipe Item], but he was pleasantly surprised. 'The [Recipe Item] has changed a lot!

'According to the system's introduction, after the [Recipe Item] was upgraded to an advanced level, I can now randomly receive +2 or +3 [Recipe Item]s.

'However, the requirements for these [Recipe Item]s were higher, so its production time will be longer as well.

'The time limit for a +1 [Recipe Item] is 1 week , 2 weeks for +2 [Recipe Item] and 1 month for +3 [Recipe Item].

'When the time limit expires, regardless of whether the [Recipe Item] had been produced or not, the slot will still be refreshed.

'But!

'There's another change to this panel, an additional temporary panel that could store unmade recipes.

'In other words, if I had forgotten to produce the [Recipe Item] for this week, it would have been refreshed. However, I don't have to worry now because the [Recipe Item] that had been refreshed would be temporarily stored in a temporary slot.

'This way, I will be able to retrieve the forgotten [Recipe Item] from that slot and produce it again.

'However, there's only 1 temporary slot at the moment. I have no idea if there will be more slots added in the future.'

After Su Yang was done reading the slots for the [Recipe Item], he continued reading the next section.

'The [Random Prize Voucher] hasn't changed much, but there's an additional sentence saying that the probability of the [Random Prize Voucher] appearing will increase greatly.'

In the end, Su Yang took a look at the slot for the [Bronze Point] and looked at its introduction. 'It's just an ordinary [Bronze Point] that's used to draw 3 Bronze Abilities and selecting 1 of them.

In addition, Su Yang took a look at the number of [Bronze Points] and its refresh time. 'There are 2 at the moment, it's going to take a month before the next refresh arrives.'

After looking through the entire advanced system shop, Su Yang felt that it was quite worth it. The grid that had previously existed had been strengthened with [Bronze Point] and [Lucky Stone] on top of that. 'At least this system has a little conscience this time.'

After exiting the system shop, Su Yang wanted to experience other functions. However, he saw that the system interface had a new [System Explanation] added.

That was something that the system did not have when it was still +2. Hence, Su Yang clicked on it and realized that it was more practical than the [System Help] because there was a whole series of explanations when adding points onto an item.

For example, some things that Su Yang had already known previously.

"A special item cannot be upgraded or have a point added onto it while it's being in use."

"Regardless of whether it is a little monster or a special item, neither of their special abilities can be stacked.

'Hold on.'

There were some things that Su Yang did not know but he wanted to know.

"All items will have a high failure rate after they reach +3, hence they would need the protection of the [Guardian Talisman]. At +4, there is almost no chance of success, you will have to use the [Lucky Stone] to increase the success rate."

'Wait a minute.

'I finally understand why the system has given me the [Lucky Stone] after this upgrade. It seems like it's time for me to use the [Lucky Stone] to increase the success rate when adding a point now!

Moreover, it's also because I've read the introduction of the [Lucky Stone] that I find that this item is very important.' Hence, he stopped looking at the new functions of the system and started to do a thorough study on all those introductions.

Therefore, Su Yang continued to study for the entire afternoon. It was not until Tang Xiaomi knocked on the door at night to complain that she was hungry before Su Yang regained his senses from wandering in Dreamland. 'I haven't realized that I've been studying the introductions of the system for so long!

'However, I feel that I have now gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire system and the special items over the past few hours.'

Su Yang felt like there was definitely a notification that stated [Experience+1] floating above his head at that moment.

Many people should have experienced this before. When they read too many books, their eyes would go blank or their mind would start to wander. Su Yang was no exception. After reading for a few hours, he felt a little dazed.

When Tang Xiaomi saw the state Su Yang was in, she raised her head and looked at him adorably. "Su Yang, have you fallen out of love?"

"Huh?" Su Yang could not react in time. He looked down at Tang Xiaomi. "What?"

Tang Xiaomi explained in her coquettish voice, "Because that's how it's always acted in television dramas. After someone falls out of love, they'll always look like how you are now."

After saying that, she looked at Su Yang with her bright eyes.

Su Yang looked at her for about 5 to 6 seconds before he finally reacted.

Then he knocked on Tang Xiaomi's head and said, "You're banned from watching those soap operas from now on."

Tang Xiaomi pouted as she said, "Oh..."

Su Yang shook his head and drank a few bottles of Sanque's oral fluids to replenish his overworked brain slightly.

Then, he rushed Tang Xiaomi to the living room downstairs. After that, he washed his hands and made a meal for her using the [Grass-Eating Iron Pot].

After he was done cooking, Su Yang got the Little Monster Beans to bring the food downstairs with him.

Downstairs, the brat was tormenting the Lesser Quickgold Monster again. However, perhaps because the Lesser Quickgold Monster was too cute, her actions were much gentler.

As for the Lesser Quickgold Monster, perhaps because it had been with the devilish brat since birth, it was much more cooperative with her.

Tang Xiaomi said, "Turn into a stick!"

Just as she said that, the Lesser Quickgold Monster stretched its body and turned into a long... Chopstick since there was no way it was able to turn into a stick based on its current size.

However, Tang Xiaomi was not angry at it as she ordered again, "Turn into a pair of scissors!"

With a "bang", the Lesser Quickgold Beast turned into 2... Chopsticks connected together.

'Well... It's just beginning to learn after all, so it wouldn't be so easy for it to transform so freely.

'Furthermore, I think that Tang Xiaomi is asking too much of it...'

Su Yang led the row of Little Monster Beans to the dining table and tapped on the table. "Time to eat."

"Wow!" Tang Xiaomi ran over excitedly.

While they were eating, Su Yang was chatting with Tang Xiaomi while looking at his phone. He realized that Xu Lu had used WeChat to call him in the afternoon. However, she did not leave any messages or voice messages after he did not pick up.

Su Yang called her back curiously.

"Du... du... du... du..."

Moments later, the call was picked up.

As Su Yang ate, he asked, "What's wrong, Xu Lu? Were you looking for me?"

Xu Lu said charmingly, "Su Yang, I was calling you to thank you specifically."

Su Yang was puzzled. "What for?"

Xu Lu said, "I did as you said and earned close to 20,000 yuan within the past few days!"

"Oh, I see." Su Yang came back to his senses. "Don't worry about it, it's nothing."

Xu Lu asked in embarrassment, "By the way, there was something else."

Su Yang took a mouthful of food and asked casually, "What is it?"

Xu Lu said in a low voice, "Can I tell my cousin that VIMICRO will continue to hit its upper limit for 1 more day but not the next day?"

Su Yang was stunned for a moment before asking, "Well, the stock price of VIMICRO has always been hitting its upper limit. So even if you told her, she wouldn't be able to buy it."

Xu Lu said, "Yes, yes. I know she can't buy it, but I'm not planning to ask her to buy it. It's only because she keeps doubting me."

Then, Xu Lu explained, "After I posted it on my WeChat today, she came to me and said that it was just a coincidence. Moreover, she also said that I was going more and more overboard. The stock market is ever-changing and many people have lost their families, so she wanted to tell my mother."

"I really don't know how to refute her. I just want to tell her about your judgment on VIMICRO and make her believe that I will really be able to earn money by following you..."

Su Yang nodded as he understood the situation after he was done listening.

After he nodded, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Oh right, doesn't your cousin invest in stocks as well, Xu Lu?"

Puzzled, Xu Lu replied, "Yes, she's been investing for a few years now. Her results aren't too bad actually"

Su Yang had a plan in his mind. He said, "Actually, I don't really care. After all, the value of VIMICRO has always been increasing to its upper limit. Therefore, she wouldn't be able to affect our plans even if you told her."

"However, since you want to make a bet with her, why don't you ask her to choose the stocks that she likes and I'll tell her which of those stocks will be able to hit its upper limit?"

Xu Lu was shocked and said, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

Su Yang took a bite of his rice. "There's nothing bad about it, I'm just lending a helping hand."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something. "Oh right, your cousin won't have a lot of capital to invest in stocks, right?"

Xu Lu thought about it. "I don't think she has much, it should be around 100,000 yuan, more or less."

Su Yang nodded. "Oh, alright. She won't be able to affect anything. By the way, you could tag along and invest with her, it's free money anyway.."

Xu Lu nodded her head. To her, investing with Su Yang was no different from picking up free money...

Actually, Su Yang did not do it on a whim or out of kindness. He had his own motive, he wanted Xu Lu's cousin to help him choose some shares.

Previously, Su Yang had thrown tens of millions of yuan into the stock market for the Silver Mission. He had used the stock pool that Fatty Lu had given him to choose his stocks. That was also the reason why Su Yang could earn so much that round.

However, the stock market would not always remain popular. Technology stocks had soared in the past few days, but the subsequent trends were average.

Little Hus's [Potential Sniffing] discovered that all the stocks that Fatty Lu had given him had no potential starting from the next Tuesday.

Initially, Su Yang, Little Hus and Little Deeny discussed for a while and agreed on a plan to avoid buying the wrong stocks and losing money later on. Therefore, after the stocks hit its upper limit the next Monday, they would dump all their capital into bank stocks and hold on until the end.

However, Xu Lu's cousin had just knocked at Su Yang's doorstep.

Su Yang felt that as a veteran stock trader who had more than 10 years of experience, Xu Lu's cousin would definitely have her own stock pool. There might even be stocks that could rise to their upper limits.

'When the time comes, I could let Little Hus smell it and choose the stocks that could rise to its upper limits. That way, wouldn't I be able to use the remaining time of my Silver Mission?'

That was why Su Yang asked Xu Lu's cousin to choose a few stocks for him.

As for Xu Lu and her cousin earning money with him, Su Yang had always been open-minded. No matter how much they earned, they wouldn't be able to earn as much as he did.

After the meal, Su Yang asked Little Monster Beans to clear the dishes. He then returned to his room and continued studying the new function after the system acheieved +3, [Fusion And Decomposition].
