3 Lucky Draw

Translator: Lonelytree

Don't underestimate the increase in spiritual power after two decimals.

It had been almost a year since Dave became a level 3 student, but his spiritual power had only increased from 2 to 2.75.

The increase in his mental strength from reading a few books today was already comparable to the gains he had gained from meditating for almost ten days…

Dave put down his book and began to think about the future.

According to this progress and the increase in his Potionology level, perhaps he could really try to make his own potions...

At least Dave was more confident after reading the book.

However, before that, he still had to think of a way to collect the formulas. The few formulas he knew of were all half-finished products and could not be considered real potions.

Dave took out a small pocket from inside his shirt.

The small bag was shriveled. He turned it over and poured it out, but only one standard magic stone and a half magic stone tumbled out. 

He then checked the magic stones pebbles, which added up to less than half a magic stone.

In other words, his current assets were less than two magic stones.

"There's only this much left…."

Dave was in pain.

It was not easy to earn money.

If he wanted to make money, he had to invest a lot in the early stages.

This amount of magic stones was barely enough to buy two Apprentice-level potion formulas.

As for the materials, he could forget about it.

"Then I need to save up more magic stones."

Dave could only make this plan.

"Or I can sell this Introduction to Potionology book…" Anyway, he had almost mastered the knowledge inside. "The price of this book in the library is about three magic stones, so it should be easy for me to sell it for two magic stones. I just have to be careful not to let Mrs. Izu know.

"Or is there any other way to earn money…"

Dave suddenly had an idea.

He suddenly remembered that he still had a chance to draw.

Previously, he was too excited about the increase in his subject level and had forgotten about this.

Maybe he could get something valuable?

He was already impressed by the system. Maybe the lucky draw might nab him something good too.

Dave opened the interface and chose to use the draw chance.

A roulette appeared in front of him, divided into countless tiny grids. It was colorful, and the specific contents could not be seen clearly.

Dave took a deep breath. He was going to start the draw, but he hesitated for a moment before he walked into the bathroom and washed his hands carefully.

"God, please bless me... If there's a God in this world..."

Dave was not superstitious, and as a mage, he was not interested in gods. However, it was better than nothing.

"Start!"

The roulette began to spin rapidly. Even the grid on it could not be seen clearly.

Dave tried to follow the roulette, but it was spinning too fast. He gave up. He waited for a few seconds and then called a pause.

The wheel slowly stopped and finally pointed to a blue grid.

[Congratulations, host. You have drawn a blue-quality reward!]

[You have received a set of middle school chemistry experiment set!]

Dave was quite excited when he saw the blue color, but his expression froze when he heard the system announcement.

"Middle... Middle school chemistry… experiment set?

"What is this?"

He had prepared himself to draw something bad. But this was even worse. It was something from the world he transmigrated from.

"Could it be that I've found the wrong God to bless me…Should I have pleaded to the gods of this world?"

Dave felt a bit resentful toward God.

His awful luck was still the same even after transmigration.

Sighing, Dave had no choice but to accept the reward.

Without any warning or special effects, a blue suitcase suddenly appeared on the table in front of him.

The front of the suitcase had the words "Middle School Chemistry Experiment Set " written on it. It was obvious that it was made of some cheap plastic, and there were even some rough edges at the corners…

Things couldn't get any worse now.

David opened his suitcase helplessly.

There was really a set of experimental equipment neatly placed inside.

There were beakers, glass bottles, funnels, bottles, crucibles, test tubes, measuring cups, and all kinds of experimental equipment that Dave had forgotten their names.

"This is..."

He picked up a few pieces of equipment and examined them carefully. Dave's lifeless eyes suddenly changed.

"These experimental equipment don't seem to be as useless as I thought."

At first, he thought the set was for child's play.

However, upon closer inspection, they were all standard experimental equipment. At the very least, they were useable.

When he was working as an assistant in Mrs. Izu's laboratory, he used something similar.

After all, the production of potions did have some similarities with chemistry experiments…

Recalling the formulas in his mind, Dave was surprised to find that the box of equipment could really be used to make many potions!

"Alright, System, I was wrong about you!"

Dave apologized to the System in his heart.

This set of equipment could be said to be a timely help to him!

The simplest set of potion crafting equipment would cost at least a few dozen Magic Stones, which was very expensive.

His original plan was to work in Mrs. Izu's laboratory in the future and see if he could pay the price to obtain permission to refine his own potion.

Now, these steps were saved.

It might not be reliable to use this equipment to make complicated high-level potions, but they were perfect for the apprentice potions he knew.

Well, at least the system was reliable and didn't really trick him!

[Hint: There is a new mission available!]

It seemed that the draw was completed, and the system began to issue new missions.

Dave shifted his attention to the mission panel and said to himself, "Open the mission menu."

A translucent panel appeared in front of him.
