Chapter 245: Lottery Draw! Double Yolks Again!
In the following days, nothing particularly noteworthy happened.
Every night, he went out to find two unlucky bastards to complete his KPI, then went back to hold the women and sleep soundly; life was still quite leisurely.
If there were no lone little devils, he would set his sights on those patrol teams.
Anyway, with the heavy machine gun, he didn’t even need to get close; he just found a high point to set it up and fired off two or three magazines, always managing to kill a few.
He didn’t linger in battle either; once the KPI was met, he withdrew, and no one could stop him.
However, while he was leisurely, his actions made the little devils uneasy.
They had previously thought that increasing the number of people in a patrol team would prevent attacks from that rampant killer.
Now it seemed that was clearly a huge mistake.
More people offered no resistance at all to the heavy machine gun’s sweep!
They were in the open, the killer in the shadows; it was impossible to guard against!
The little devils also wanted to search out this killer; the search and arrest never stopped, but they couldn’t find the slightest trace.
The little devils were human too, and humans fear death; facing this situation, they even reached the point of not daring to patrol at night.
But not patrolling at night wasn’t an option either; wouldn’t that let the special agents run wild at night?
Seeing this, Gendarmerie Headquarters Officer Miyamoto Ichiro had no choice but to ask the garrison for help.
Let’s set this aside for now.
A month had quietly passed since the last lottery draw.
In the study room, Cao Weida, having bathed and changed clothes, clasped his hands together and chanted:
Mommy mommy hoo~~ Jade Emperor bless me, Three Pure Ones bless me, Amitabha~~ Give me a double yellow egg! Draw for me!
With the command given, the turntable that only he could see immediately spun wildly.
Then, the drawn prizes appeared one by one.
【Thanks for drawing, thanks for drawing, eight thousand silver dollars.】
“Double yellow egg! Double yellow egg!”
Cao Weida kept muttering in his mouth, his eyes fixed dead on each appearing item.
【I Am God of Gamblers（ skill）, thanks for drawing, twenty cases of penicillin Azure Nether Soul Lock（ skill）】
【Lottery draw ended, all prizes stored in system space, can be extracted at any time.】
【I Am God of Gamblers: Want to win me at the gambling table? Bring the real god!】
【Azure Nether Soul Lock: See that fly a hundred meters away? It’s going to die in the next second!】
“？！！！”
Seeing that he had really drawn a double yellow egg, Cao Weida got so excited he almost jumped up.
“Haha~ I told you, how could heaven not favor someone as kind as me!!”
“I Am God of Gamblers? Azure Nether Soul Lock? These two skills sound super badass!”
Although he didn’t draw the firearms shooting skill he had been dreaming of, leaving a bit of regret in his heart, compared to the two skills, he wasn’t too disappointed.
“Quick quick quick, use them, let me see just how badass these two skills are!”
As the skills were used, a mysterious energy emerged from his limbs and bones out of nowhere, then quickly gathered in his hands; Cao Weida felt a tingling sensation, a feeling that seemed familiar.
It was just like last time when he drew ‘Divine Hand’!
Even more, this tingling sensation wasn’t limited to his hands; it gradually spread up his arms.
Then, a profound and mysterious feeling lingered in his mind, making him dizzy yet not uncomfortable—instead, it felt exceptionally pleasant.
After an unknown amount of time, that dizzy yet comfortable feeling faded, and inexplicably, his mind was filled with a lot of knowledge on releasing hidden weapons.
From small plum blossom needles to large throwing knives, all techniques for overt and covert throws were clear in his mind.
At the same time, his eyesight became even more focused and clear; his observation of surroundings became much sharper than before.
Rubbing his hands lightly, a mysterious feeling came; as long as he had hidden weapons in hand, he was god within a hundred meters!
Having obtained the rewards, he naturally couldn’t resist testing them out.
He fetched an embroidery needle for mending clothes, stood in the courtyard, his eyes seemingly casual yet grasping every blade of grass stirred by the wind in the entire courtyard.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and his wrist flicked lightly.
The next moment, the embroidery needle pinched in his hand vanished as if into thin air.
Five meters away, a small planted pomegranate tree swayed lightly.
He strolled to the pomegranate tree and saw a fly nailed to the branch by an embroidery needle; its still-living body struggled nonstop but couldn’t break free.
The embroidery needle had pierced deeply through the trunk, its tip glinting faintly in the sunlight.
“This is simply a divine skill!” Even the originator Cao Weida couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at the effect.
Then, he pulled out the embroidery needle and tried even farther distances, having an absolute blast.
“Master, what are you doing?” Ru Qiulan was handling affairs at the residence; though not the official matron, she managed the matron’s duties.
Don’t think the residence had few matters; from servants’ salaries, purchases, to the sisters’ food, clothing, and daily needs, plus all sorts of miscellaneous trivia, it all needed someone to manage.
Happening to come out, she saw her master running back and forth, playing with great enjoyment, and couldn’t help covering her mouth in a light laugh as she asked.
She had heard elders say before that men were just old kids—no matter their age, how steady or dignified outside, they always had a playful, mischievous side in their hearts that never grew up.
She hadn’t quite understood before, but now she suddenly got it.
“Uh, nothing, just bored and walking around the courtyard.”
Cao Weida awkwardly stopped his movements, which looked utterly childish to outsiders; the embroidery needle was thin and small, pinched between two fingers, invisible to others, and silent when launched.
To outsiders, he was running from here to there, there to here, grinning foolishly—looking utterly silly no matter how you saw it.
The key was he couldn’t explain too much, because he didn’t want anyone to know his secret.
“I have something to do, heading out first.” With that, without waiting for Ru Qiulan’s reply, he quickly ran off.
Ru Qiulan behind him chuckled: “Didn’t expect Master to be so cute when he acts childish.”
Leaving the siheyuan, Cao Weida waved off Xiangzi, who wanted to help with the cart, telling him to keep practicing driving, then strolled leisurely with hands behind his back.
After testing it out and combining it with the hidden weapon knowledge in his brain, he had a rough idea.
Within twenty meters, just using wrist strength, he could hit fly-sized targets in that range, no matter how they moved—they absolutely couldn’t escape his lock.
And the force wasn’t weak; with his physical strength and hands modified twice, even thumb-thick branches could be pierced directly.
If using arm strength, he could achieve the same effect within a hundred meters!
If he swapped the embroidery needle for specially made throwing knives, the lethality would be even greater!
As for exactly how much greater, he’d only know after trying.
Of course, it wasn’t that a hundred meters was the limit; beyond that, his precision would gradually decrease.
He hadn’t tested specifics, so he had no exact measure.
“Although I didn’t draw a firearms shooting skill, honestly, in assassination, ‘Azure Nether Soul Lock’ utterly crushes firearms shooting skills!”
The biggest advantage of hidden weapon cold arms over firearms was silently putting someone to death!
In short-range assassination, firearms simply couldn’t compare!
“I also have the divine skill ‘Divine Hand’; combined with ‘Azure Nether Soul Lock’, as long as I have enough hidden weapons, within a hundred meters I’m even better than a machine gun!”
With the system space, did Cao Weida fear lacking hidden weapons?!
“Divine Hand + Azure Nether Soul Lock + system space—goodness, this combo is simply invincible!”
“Plus Lightness Skill Dragonfly Touching Water, coming and going freely in streets and alleys—this set, who can stand against it?!”
“As long as it’s at night, without night vision or thermal imaging, as long as I have enough space to dodge, and not cornered in a small area, I could take out a whole company of devils single-handedly!”
As a modern Chinese person, he had a deep-seated fear of insufficient firepower; before, killing always felt tentative due to lack of long-range precise killing ability.
Now this shortcoming was finally patched; his heart relaxed a lot.
“Oh right, I also have the ‘I Am God of Gamblers’ skill, which can pair with ‘Divine Hand’ and the system space.”
Actually, the most important ability of ‘I Am God of Gamblers’ wasn’t gambling, but that perverse eyesight and mental calculation ability.
As the saying goes, the top gambling loss isn’t about money, but math.
Shuffle a deck once, and he remembers the card order; after that, shuffle and deal however you like—it doesn’t matter, because to the god of gamblers, you’re always playing with open cards, eternally unbeatable from the start.
So, how do you even play against that?
And to memorize all card orders in an instant, without sharp eyesight and terrifying mental calculation, it’s absolutely impossible.
This was what Cao Weida valued most.
Gambling?
Just a minor path.
“But since I drew it, find time to test it at a gambling house.”
“System, open panel.”
With the command, a virtual screen only he could see appeared.
【System: Slacking System.】
【Host: Cao Weida. Communist Party, Inkstone. Military Statistics Bureau codename, Awakening of Insects】
【Slacking Points: 39.】
【Slacking Points function: Lottery Draw（50 points for one draw, ten-draw guarantees minimum.）】

【Space items: Omitted.】
Looking at the added twenty cases of penicillin and eight thousand silver dollars, Cao Weida pondered.
