Chapter 11: Lottery, Fake medicine

Late at night, In New York City.

Where even if everything is silent, the city is still brightly lit.

Gali had already gone to bed to sleep, meanwhile Lucien was standing on the roof of his apartment building looking into the distance at a building that was on fire.

'I'm afraid this was another gang-related fire "accident".'

Whenever Lucien wasn't going to his university to be a obedient student, he was spending his time drawing new cartoons all afternoon and saving his money up til his graduation.

Right now though he is waiting. Waiting to see how many fans 'One Punch Man' will gain in the wave of popularity it received on it's first day. After all if it did well he will be able to use the system's exciting lottery.

*Thwhip*

Lucien glanced at the side of the building as he heard a faint sound at that moment, but only saw a figure passing by the building with incredible speed. What more, Lucien noticed that this person seemed to be swinging on a thin web.

In this posture, there is only one person in the current Marvel universe that Lucien knew it could be.

Spider-man, the alternate identity of Peter Parker.

When Lucien thought back to earlier, Peter had wanted to invite him to go with his class to visit a research institution yesterday, but Lucien hadn't agreed to go. It would seem that this was the turning point in Peter's life.

Unexpectedly, going from Queens to Manhattan, I am worthy of being called a good neighbour of New Yorkers.

{Ding}

Lucien noticed that the fan value had begin to stabilise and slowed down it's increase.

Finally after a long wait, in the faint dark of the night, under the radiance of the moon, the system's mechanical prompt sounded.

[Fan value statistics have been completed. Host has received a total of 280,840 fan value points on the first day.]

Just two hundred and eighty thousand on the first day.

Lucien was happy to get this reward straight away.

According to his estimates, the fan value of 'One Punch Man' will rise to a peak tomorrow, where it will persist for a week. By that time, it could earn more then one million points.

[It is detected that the host has meet the criteria to use the system's lottery. Do you wish to pump it?]

The minimum amount to be able to use the lottery is 100,000. So Lucien having 280,000 can only pump it twice. The scope of prizes for the lottery is any property found in the first four episodes of 'One Punch Man'.

Lucien couldn't calm down at all. Even if he could only pump it twice at the moment, even a little random thing from the comic could be very useful to the current him.

"Yes, pump it now."

[Please choose the quota for the lottery to take host. The higher the amount consumed, the higher your chances to get rare items.]

Lucien curled his lips upwards once he heard those words and said, "Understood."

If there are millions of fan points, he would definitely consume millions of points at that moment. But at this point Lucien only has two hundred thousand point that he could use. Lucien couldn't help but wonder how much better consuming more points truly are.

Now that his fan points are still small, it would not be useful to consume only once. What ever is given would be small so it would be better to pump the lottery twice and rely one his luck.

Lucien nervously washed his face in the bathroom's sink before rubbing his hands for luck, then directly entered the two hundred thousand points to be consumed to pump the lottery from the system's interface.

[Congratulations Host, You have received the Ultimate Cholesterol Steroid used by 'King of biceps.']

"Um... What?"

Lucien looked at the test tube that suddenly appeared floating in the air in-front of him. Grabbing it and looked at the solution that seemed to flash to a golden colour in the light.

Of course, as Lucien was the one who painted the cartoon and having been a fan in his past life, he knew what this was. Within this test tube was the Steroid that was developed and created by Fukegao in the third chapter, who had his brother Marugori drink it.

Marugori then turned into a giant titan, thousands of meters tall in an instant, it he could destroy one of the city's in just one punch. He was a Demon-ranked disaster according to the Hero Association rating.

But without Saitama's prevention, the association would have promoted him to a true Dragon-ranked disaster.

After all, the definition of a demon-ranked disaster is a crisis that may cause the function of one town to be paralysed or destroyed. Obviously this was something the giant can easily do.

Lucien shook the test tube in his hand.

Such a powerful liquid contain within a glass tube. With the power to make an ordinary human into such a terrifying monster was scary, but Lucien had no plans to ever drink it.

He doesn't want to become a monster, especially only a demon-rank weirdo in the Marvel Universe. With that power he could only wait to be killed. Lucien has other ways to gain power so he put the Steroid on the table.

[Congratulations Host, You have received a skill fragment from Vaccine Man: Lightwave Ball]

"Huh? Skill fragments? What's their use?"

Lucien was stunned. He was happy that skills can be extracted from characters, but why did they become fragments?

[These Skill Shards are one of the lower awards. They are powerful Character aspects divided into fragments, whether they be skill fragments and item fragments.]

[The usage of the these fragments can vary. Among them, the skill fragments can be equipped, one fragment represents Lv1, and multiple fragments can be superimposed to upgrade the skill, up to level 10.]

*Hiss!*

There was even such a choking operation in the system's lottery.

At this moment in time, Lucien was very excited and fulled with joy. He had originally thought that when he pumped he would get nothing good at all.

Lucien even mentally prepared himself to receive Saitama's useless white cloak or uniform. He never once expected that he would win some of the jackpots in his first two pumps.

The first was the Giant potion, although Lucien wasn't going to drink it. And the other was a rare item; A powerful skill fragment.

The full powered version of the several light wave can destroy a whole city, but vaccine man himself is a dragon-ranked disaster.

Lucien couldn't help but touch his handsome face, and narrated to himself, "I really am lucky."

The system seemed to be disgusted by his shameless words despite not having emotions, and interrupted him coldly: [Are you ready to equip your skill fragments host?]

[The skill fragments have been placed in the system's warehouse.]

"Open warehouse."

Lucien saw some additional new blocks appear of the system's interface. It appeared that skills can be equipped just like an online game.

The fragments for the skill 'Lightwave Ball' seemed to break through the screen from the warehouse interface and while turning into a white light, rushed into Lucien's body.

Lucien, who had no time to react, watched, as at the same time a white and blue ball icon appeared in the skill window with the words 'LV 1' below it.

"This is?"

Lucien could only feel a hot current flooding into his brain, and after a refreshing burst if light, he directly grasped the power of the skill 'Lightwave Ball'.

Lucien raised his hands slightly.

*Boooooooooooooooo!*

A stream of blue and white energy sprang forth from Lucien's body, and quickly converged into a fist-sized ball of light. The terrifying amount of energy rubbed against the air.

Such a ball of light could completely blow up his room, and it is only at level 1 power.

Staring at the Lightwave Ball above the palm of his hand, Lucien couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, Lucien, what do you have there?"

A sudden and pleasant Loli voice sounded in the room. It was Gali. She stood at the door of Lucien's bedroom staring at the Lightwave Ball in Lucien's hand.

"Uhh......Nothing?"

Lucien quickly scattered the Lightwave Ball with his hand and smiled awkwardly at Gali.

Lucien believed that Gali was an ordinary person, and would be afraid of his power.

"Hey, what's that? It seems to be delicious."

However, Gali didn't grasp how Lucien's Lightwave Ball came into being or that it disappeared from her eyes.

On the contrary, the purple loli and flashed past Lucien's body and saw the Bicep king potion on the table and rushed over, as if smelling delicious food.

With speed greater then Lucien could stop her, she grabbed the potion into her small hands. Her saliva seeming to overflow from the corners of her mouth, before she poured the liquid from the test tube into her mouth without saying another word.

"Stop! You can't.....drink...that....."

Lucien was dumbfounded when he saw Gali drink the giant potion. It felt as if a shard of ice had pierced into his heart with the righteous fury of a god from the heavens above.

"It's over."

He was trapped in his mind, seeing the transformation of Gail into a giant. Lucien fell to the ground with a bang. His eyes seem to flush.

'My loli is growing up!'

Lucien really wanted to howl into the heavens, before he is finally picked up by the once cute loli, now muscular giant. Lucien felt like he fell into a bottomless abyss.

"Hey? Lucien.....What are you doing?"

'Wait what?'

Lucien then looked up from the floor and saw that nothing had happened to Gali. She was still looking at him with a cute expression on her loli face.

Lucien was immediately stunned.

'System, was this fake medicine!'
