Chapter 30 The Prize That Grows in My Heart
Reading Settings
At 10 p.m., a black sedan drove on an empty street. This car was a first-generation Dodge from 1968 in her previous life. She had found it in a car museum. She thought it was fun and quite good-looking. After she bought it, she specially modified it. She didn't touch the exterior or anything, only changed the internal parts. It could reach a speed of 120 km/h. However, she had never driven it in the apocalypse. After all, this old man in the car world would be wrecked by a single claw from a zombie. So it had been kept in Warehouse No. 1 for appreciation only.
Who would have thought that it would come in handy one day?
However, even if this car exists in this dimension, it would be an import, and it's uncertain whether it can be found domestically. Therefore, she only dares to take it out for a spin late at night, and otherwise keeps it in the warehouse as a decoration.
"Ah, host, lottery, lottery! I almost forgot, it expires in less than two hours."
Bai Nuo's lips twitched slightly; to be honest, she had actually forgotten.
"Okay, I'll smoke while I drive, or you can have a humanoid drive for me."
"...I might as well not rent it and just buy it."
The system looked miserable. It had realized that its host was truly despicable and knew how to fleece people, and was only targeting it. Every day, the rent for the humanoids alone had cost it a lot of points, and it felt that there would definitely be more in the future, so it might as well just buy it.
That's called being pragmatic!
"I think it's fine. Don't worry, I won't misuse it." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile.
She knew that humanoid robots had many rules that constrained the system, the most important of which was that other humans could not discover anything unusual, otherwise the system would be severely punished.
Although she enjoys teasing her own system, she won't let others tease her, not even the central control area of the system world.
"Oh well!"
The system nodded. Once it made its decision, it acted decisively, spending most of its wealth to buy a first-generation humanoid robot without even blinking an eye.
The first generation could do many things, but it couldn't speak and didn't have any human expressions. It was just a mute with a blank expression, but that was enough.
The humanoid came out and switched places with Bai Nuo, then skillfully drove the vehicle towards the outskirts of Shanghai according to the map edited into the motherboard.
Bai Nuo went straight into the space, jogged to the third floor of the pavilion, and stood in front of the Time-Space Mall machine. At this moment, a bright red lottery wheel appeared on the screen, with ten small golden lucky bags around it, looking very festive. Next to it was a palm-sized yellow touch button.
"Ding! The Gehui Office Building on Fuyuan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, has been selected as the check-in location. A lucky draw is now open."
The golden pointer on the lottery wheel began to spin rapidly until Bai Nuo pressed the yellow touch button with a "snap".
The golden pointer slowly came to a stop, and the next second, colorful ribbons like fireworks began to appear on the screen, followed by a line of large characters.
"Congratulations, host, on obtaining a pink phoenix crown with nine dragons and nine phoenixes."
"Wow, so generous! This looks amazing!"
The moment the picture appeared, Bai Nuo's eyes lit up with a dazzling light.
It was a phoenix crown with nine dragons and nine phoenixes, and it was a pink phoenix crown. It was exquisite, gorgeous, elegant and noble. Even the round and full pearls seemed to be brighter and more beautiful than other large pearls. The pink color on it was a particularly beautiful light pink, with some places having a gradient pink. Paired with white pearls, it was simply beautiful to her heart.
Bai Nuo hurriedly took the brocade box out of the mall's grid space, and even wore a pair of white gloves before carefully taking out the phoenix crown. She was so captivated by its beauty.
"Huh, this..."
Just as Bai Nuo was captivated, the system beside her suddenly emitted a confused sound.
"Ah Tong, don't force me to hit you when I'm at my happiest!"
A dangerous sound followed closely!
The system silently retreated to the base of the wall and whispered, "You were the one who told me to remind you if you found any cultural relics, but this..."
"..."
My heart clenched instantly, and my hands holding the phoenix crown began to tremble.
Bai Nuo took a deep breath, wondering if it was too late to break off her relationship with her teacher, who supposedly had once been so desperate to snatch back all the national treasures she saw abroad and hand them over to her country.
Anyway, she has five teachers, and... her teachers should have already been reincarnated in the previous world!
I think so!
"No buts, just say it!"
Damn it, I can't get over that!
"According to the historical records of our previous plane, there was a similar phoenix crown that was sold abroad in the early days and was not retrieved for decades. However, that crown did not seem to have as many dragons as this one. But as long as it is a parallel universe, the differences between universes should not be too great. So this phoenix crown should have been secretly sold by someone in the Pavilion. As for how many times it changed hands before it was sold abroad, we don't know."
Bai Nuo blinked after hearing this, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the system: "What do you mean?"
"Host, this kind of unique national treasure is different from those antiques. The lottery system will not produce genuine items of this level, as that would disrupt the balance of this space-time. Therefore, this is a high-quality replica."
But since it could be scanned by the lottery system, it means the genuine item has appeared in this section. Whether it was sold or not is unknown.
"So you mean that only if I draw one of those antiques will it be genuine, and only if I draw a unique one will it be a fake."
"That's right. But even if it's a replica, the system's replicas are the highest-grade replicas, made with top-notch materials. This can be considered an antique, but not a national treasure. It can only be considered a modern antique, that is, a replica made before the Republic of China period."
"Then I'm relieved!"
Bai Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. It was wonderful that she didn't have to unilaterally sever ties with her teacher in her mind and could keep the things for herself to enjoy.
Whether it's real or fake, she doesn't care. Even if it's real, she wouldn't be willing to sell something so beautiful.
Counterfeits are great, no need to worry about being chased and beaten by your teacher in your dreams at night.
I wonder if the underworld is divided into time and space!
Bai Nuo then carefully placed the phoenix crown into the brocade box. Fortunately, she had an antique-style curio cabinet in her study, which was perfect for displaying these beautiful antiques.
"Come on, let's draw the second one."
She finally experienced the benefits of the lottery system!
"Ding! Check-in point at Jiefang Department Store on South Shanghai Road, start the lucky draw."
The lucky draw wheel has been changed. The bright red wheel remains the same, but the little lucky bags and pointers on it have been replaced with light brown ones.
The light brown pointer spun rapidly, then slowly stopped after Bai Nuo pressed the touchscreen button.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a department store gift pack."
