Click to draw lots!
Regardless of whether praying to gods or worshipping Buddha truly helps, what I could do has been done, so the rest is left to fate.
With that, Jiang Chuanju held onto Lan Zai and quietly watched the flickering lottery interface. After a moment, all the glowing orbs on the screen suddenly converged and then exploded again.
Seeing the orbs burst open, Jiang Chuanju immediately fixed his gaze on the panel, faintly catching sight of a few strands of purple light mixed in.
"Well, at least there’s no gold like last time, but it looks like there’s more than one purple."
In fact, Jiang Chuanju was a bit skeptical about whether the gold item from last time was just a beginner's ten-draw welfare SSR.
So, he didn’t have high expectations this time; discovering more than one purple was already a huge win for him.
The ten prizes were displayed in a row on the panel:
【Trait * Torrent】 (Purple item: Increases the power of water attribute attacks when injured; the more severe the injury, the greater the increase, up to a 100% increase in water attribute attack power.)
【Move Learning Device: Water Release * Water Flow Ring】 (Purple item: Water Release ninjutsu that releases a stream of water with healing effects when hand signs are made, capable of healing a certain degree of injury for the target surrounded by the water. Casting in a water environment saves chakra consumption.)
【Mystical Candy】 (Purple item: An energy-filled candy that enhances various attributes such as strength, constitution, and chakra after consumption.)
【Good Healing Medicine】 (Blue item: Can be used internally or externally to moderately restore the user’s injuries.)
The other white items included 【Magikarp's Scales】, 【Green Block】, 【Moo Moo Cheese】, 【Cherry Fruit】, 【Gold Pearl】, and 【Salt】.
Jiang Chuanju looked at the panel, feeling slightly excited. Although there was no gold, the prizes this time were clearly much more practical.
Without further thought, Jiang Chuanju began to take out the prizes from the panel.
The first prize, 【Trait * Torrent】, caught him off guard.
When 【Trait * Torrent】 was taken out, it transformed into a blue orb of light, and before Jiang Chuanju could observe it closely, it quickly fused into his body.
Jiang Chuanju felt carefully and realized he seemed to have gained a better understanding of the nature change of the water attribute. However, perhaps because he wasn’t injured, the change wasn’t very obvious.
"So, I have the Torrent trait now??"
Jiang Chuanju looked strangely at the confused Lan Zai in his arms.
Although he didn't know much about Pokémon, he was aware that Torrent was a signature trait of the classic water-type starters.
Conversely, his little frog, Lan Zai, while also a classic water-type starter, Jiang Chuanju speculated should have the hidden trait 'Adaptability' after training and testing together for so many days.
However, the effect of 【Trait * Torrent】 is to increase the power of water attribute attacks.
At the moment, let alone water attribute attacks, he hadn’t even mastered a single water release ninjutsu yet.
Moreover, reality is not a game; being injured can affect combat.
Is he supposed to perform ninjutsu while bleeding on the ground?
The original body’s father, as a Chūnin, should have known a few water release ninjutsu. His mother, although not an official ninja and working at the Mist Hospital, also mastered some basic healing ninjutsu.
However, both of them had died in battle years ago, leaving behind only some houses and compensation money, as well as three ninjutsu scrolls: 【Water Clone】, 【Mist Concealment Technique】, and 【Healing Technique】, which were rated C, D, and D respectively.
Jiang Chuanju had just started self-learning these three ninjutsu, and currently, he had only mastered the basic three-body technique taught at the ninja school.
Among the three ninjutsu, only 【Water Clone】 might have some water attribute attack effect.
"Increasing the attack power of Water Clone when injured is just too silly."
However, since the trait was directly integrated into his body, Jiang Chuanju speculated about the next prize.
Sure enough, as he took out the 【Move Learning Device: Water Release * Water Flow Ring】 from the panel, what should have been a disc-shaped learning device transformed into a light blue scroll the size of a forearm.
As soon as Jiang Chuanju held the scroll, knowledge about the hand signs, usage techniques, and principles of the ninjutsu 【Water Release * Water Flow Ring】 flooded into his mind.
At the same time, Jiang Chuanju also learned that he currently only mastered the basic application of this ninjutsu, and if he draws the same skill in the future, he could enhance the effect of the ninjutsu.
Of course, practicing diligently or improving his strength could also increase the power of the ninjutsu; both could stack.
【Ding! Mastered a water release ninjutsu, unlocked achievement “Spit! Spit! Spit!”】
【Ding! Mastered water attribute nature change, mastered a water release ninjutsu, unlocked water attribute UP pool.】
The sudden system notification interrupted Jiang Chuanju's thoughts.
"What the hell is this achievement? I clearly just learned Water Flow Ring! So does spitting count as water release? Does that mean when I’m severely injured, my Torrent trait will make my spit hurt more???" Jiang Chuanju facepalmed in disbelief.
"However, I actually unlocked a new prize pool. So the condition for unlocking the new prize pool is to master corresponding attribute ninjutsu?" Jiang Chuanju thought, still somewhat uncertain.
"Since the original body already mastered the non-attribute three-body technique, I initially had a general attribute UP pool."
Looking at the open lottery panel, there were still three prize pools.
However, the novice pool had disappeared after the 20 draws with a 20% discount, and the current three prize pools were the general type UP pool, water type UP pool, and ?? pool.
"The attributes in Pokémon are far more than those in ninjas, and where on earth can I learn ninjutsu for types like dragon, psychic, and dark?"
"Moreover, although the ninja school teaches basic combat techniques and even has a special swordsmanship course due to the characteristics of the Mist, why hasn’t the combat type prize pool been unlocked?"
It seemed the system still needed some research.
"Forget it, considering my current level and amount of gold, I don’t need to think about these for now."
Jiang Chuanju gave up further studying the system mechanism and tried to hand the scroll to Lan Zai,
but Lan Zai indicated that he hadn’t directly learned this water release.
"Is it one-time use? Or can only I instill learning?"
Opening the just drawn ninjutsu scroll, there were actually written contents inside, detailing the release methods and operational principles of this ninjutsu.
"In that case, can others learn this ninjutsu through practice? That’s actually good news."
Then Jiang Chuanju looked at the opened scroll on the ground, slightly twitching the corner of his mouth.
"Although I haven’t played much of the Pokémon series, what the hell is this transformation from a move learning disk to a scroll?! This localization is thorough."
"If both traits and moves can be used..."
With the examples of the first two prizes, Jiang Chuanju opened the receiving interface again and looked at the 【Mystical Candy】 in his hand without much thought, directly tossing it into his mouth.
"Sure enough!"
As the 【Mystical Candy】 melted in his mouth,
Jiang Chuanju clearly felt that his chakra limit was slowly increasing. The sense of improvement in physical quality wasn’t so strong, but since the system description mentioned it, it must have increased.
"Although I can’t see it in data form, it should just be a level up, right?"
Jiang Chuanju slightly tightened his fist.
"(σ`д′)σ Ribbit~?"
Lan Zai looked at the guy who unceremoniously used Pokémon to level up with big, confused eyes.
"Ha ha, sorry, sorry, I mainly need to improve my strength urgently. When I have more candy in the future, I’ll let you try some too."
He patted Lan Zai’s head to comfort the little frog and took out the remaining items.
First, he gave 【Cherry Fruit】 and 【Green Block】 to Lan Zai.
"Don’t be mad, eat a block and a fruit first."
Since the white items didn’t have system descriptions, Jiang Chuanju didn’t know their specific effects, so he gave them to Lan Zai just like the fruit he drew last time.
The 【Green Block】 seemed to trouble Lan Zai a bit, but he wrinkled his little face and swallowed it down.
Jiang Chuanju seemed to remember that the green block tasted bitter.
However, blocks should provide some improvement in certain aspects, so eating them shouldn't be a problem.
Pokémon have a strong ability to discern food and don’t just choose based on taste.
The 【Good Healing Medicine】 was also nice; he had tested the effect of the 【Healing Medicine】 he drew last time, and this time, Jiang Chuanju planned to keep it to see if he could research its formula.
After all, it had been localized into an ointment, so there might be feasibility.
He was also very satisfied to draw the 【Gold Pearl】 from the white miscellaneous items. The actual item was about the size of a regular marble, and Jiang Chuanju planned to find an opportunity to sell it.
Since his parents had died in battle, he received regular compensation, and because of the harsh blood mist policies in the Mist Village, they paid great attention to the protection and compensation of war orphans.
However, they were just a Chūnin and a medical staff; Jiang Chuanju's current funds were only enough to maintain his living and basic training.
He temporarily planned to put away the other miscellaneous items, as who knows when he might research other uses for them in the future.
"This time, the ten draws were really a huge win. The 【Torrent】 trait doesn’t have much use until I master an offensive water release, but since 【Water Release * Water Flow Ring】 is a healing ninjutsu that others can also learn, then graduating from ninja school can be planned differently."
Jiang Chuanju looked at the little frog busily helping to tidy up things at his feet.
"With traits and skills already in hand, even the 【Mystical Candy】 is effective for me."
"So who is the Pokémon after all!"
