I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Filled with anticipation that he could exchange his gratitude points for treasures, Wang Xiaoyi bid farewell to Alpha and returned home with light steps. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the Elf King Dragon (in human form) already sitting at the dining table, its silver eyes gleaming with longing for the food.

His mother was busy in the kitchen when she heard Wang Xiaoyi return. She called out to him with a smile, "Rayne, come and help bring the delicious food to the table."

Wang Xiaoyi entered the kitchen, and a rich aroma of seafood wafted towards him. His gaze fell on the cutting board, and he was immediately captivated by the sight before him. The seafood was several times larger than usual, and each piece exuded the fresh, delicious scent of the sea.

The first thing he saw was the plump fish. Its body was as thick as an average person's arm, gleaming with a silvery sheen, as if draped in fine silver armor. The scales shimmered under the light, like countless tiny stars dancing. Wang Xiaoyi couldn't resist reaching out and gently stroking the fish; the flesh seemed alive, trembling slightly beneath his fingertips.

Then, his gaze turned to the shrimp. Each shrimp was translucent, segment by segment, like jade beads from the sea. They were neatly arranged on the cutting board, like soldiers awaiting inspection. Each shrimp emitted a faint glow, as if telling a story of the ocean's mystery and beauty.

Finally, Wang Xiaoyi's gaze fell upon the crabs. The crabs bared their claws, their shells hard and shiny, like they were wearing a suit of armor. Their two large pincers gleamed with a cold light, seemingly displaying their majesty to everyone. Wang Xiaoyi knew that the crab meat was tender and juicy, a delicacy among seafood, but their appearance instilled a sense of dread.

He couldn't help but ask his mother worriedly, "Mom, these seafoods look much bigger than before, and they look a bit dangerous. Are they okay to handle?"

The mother smiled and replied easily, "I thought I wouldn't be able to handle it, but after handling one fish, I felt relieved. I feel like I've suddenly grown up a lot, and now I'm not so worried about these big guys."

Hearing his mother's words, Wang Xiaoyi nodded in relief. Although he didn't quite understand why his mother suddenly felt he had become stronger, he was filled with anticipation for the delicious food. He imagined the crabs turning into delicious dishes in his mother's hands, and his mouth watered involuntarily. For safety reasons, Wang Xiaoyi watched his mother prepare the ingredients in the kitchen.

The mother's movements were indeed skillful and swift. She picked up a crab, which was baring its claws, intending to use its pincers to pinch her. However, the mother gently pinched the sides of the shell, and with a forceful pry, the shell easily cracked open. She skillfully extracted the crab meat, removed the intestines and gills, and then cut the crab meat into evenly sized small pieces.

Wang Xiaoyi stood aside, watching his mother's skillful movements, and couldn't help but admire her exquisite culinary skills. He knew that under his mother's skillful hands, these seafood dishes would surely be transformed into mouthwatering delicacies.

Soon, a sumptuous seafood feast was prepared. Wang Xiaoyi carefully carried the processed seafood to the table, and in no time, the table was filled with a variety of delicious seafood dishes. There was steamed fish, the fish meat tender and juicy, exuding a faint fragrance; braised prawns, the prawns coated in a rich sauce, their color bright red and tempting; and crab meat soup, the crab meat distinct, the soup rich and mellow, exuding the fresh aroma of the sea.

The family sat around the table and began to enjoy their sumptuous dinner. Father had had a good day at sea and caught a good amount of seafood. He sold some at the market to make money, and kept the rest for themselves. There was enough seafood to last the family for several days.

The Elf King Dragon (in human form) didn't care about etiquette. It grabbed a large shrimp in each hand, opened its mouth and took a bite, saying indistinctly as it chewed, "Delicious, delicious, this shrimp meat is so delicious."

The mother smiled and put another piece of fish on the Elf King Dragon's (human form) plate, saying, "Lord Elf King Dragon, if you like it, please eat more. You've worked hard today too."

With its mouth full of fish meat, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) said happily, "What do you mean 'adult' or 'not adult'? Just call me Linglong. We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Mother smiled and said, "Yes, Linglong."

Wang Xiaoyi watched the Elf King Dragon (in human form) wolf down its food and joked, "Look at you, can't you eat a little more elegantly? Nobody's going to take it from you."

The Elf King Dragon (in human form) rolled its eyes at Wang Xiaoyi and continued to enjoy its food.

Because he was eager to use the gratitude points for the lottery, Wang Xiaoyi chatted briefly with his parents before returning to his room that evening. Sitting on his bed, he impatiently activated the system's gratitude points lottery function. As he operated it, an interface appeared before him, but the screen was filled with question marks, leaving him somewhat confused.

Wang Xiaoyi thought to himself, "I'll try the regular gratitude points lottery 10 times first. Each draw costs 10 points, and I currently have 530 gratitude points, enough to draw a lot of items." His mind began to conjure up various possible items: divine weapons to slay demons, precious pets to accompany him on his adventures, or even a majestic mount.

He started the lottery with great anticipation, but after ten draws, the pointer seemed to be controlled by some invisible force, always stopping at a question mark. Just as he was filled with doubt, the system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding, congratulations on winning one of the breakfast sets: 10 fried dough sticks."

Fried dough sticks (youtiao) are a long, golden-yellow, crispy, and slightly alkaline traditional Chinese noodle dish, often eaten for breakfast.

Wang Xiaoyi could hardly believe his ears. His eyes widened, and he stood there stunned for a long while before he reacted. Fried dough sticks? He couldn't help but mentally complain, "What kind of breakfast set is this? Fried dough sticks? Where are all the magical things I imagined? Where are my divine weapons? Where are my magical pets? Where are my mounts? This system is so unreliable!"

"I refuse to believe it," Wang Xiaoyi slapped his thigh, his face full of resentment, silently complaining to himself, "Is this system some kind of 'meme king'? It's just giving me these ridiculous things to watch while I'm eating." He then chose to draw 10 more ordinary gratitude points for the lottery.

His eyes were glued to the screen, his fingers rapidly clicking the lottery button, silently vowing to win the divine weapon or magical pet he so desperately desired. However, fate seemed to be playing another cruel joke on him; the pointer stopped once again during the lottery draw, this time on a different question mark.

When the system notification sounded, Wang Xiaoyi almost rolled off the bed.

"Ding! Congratulations on receiving 10 pancakes, one of the breakfast sets."

Jianbing, a type of thin pancake made primarily from flour and cooked on a special griddle, is typically served with scallions, sauces, and various side dishes. It has a crispy texture and delicious flavor and is one of the specialty noodle dishes of Shandong province. "Looking at the 10 jianbing displayed on the screen, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the head."

He couldn't help but complain loudly, "What the hell is this? I'm really fed up with this system! Does this system have a grudge against me, giving me this kind of thing?" Wait, Shandong pancakes? This gratitude system can actually extract things from the real world, which means it can extract other things from the real world in the future.

Wang Xiaoyi decided to try again. This time, he would try a rare-level draw to see if he could get something truly useful. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and prepared for the next challenge.

When the rare prize pool appeared on the screen, Wang Xiaoyi's heart raced. Several question marks appeared in the pool, as if concealing endless mystery and surprise. He closed his eyes, silently prayed, then suddenly opened them, his fingers rapidly clicking the draw button, though to no avail.

The pointer spun incessantly on the screen, like streaks of lightning piercing the night sky. Wang Xiaoyi stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing a single moment. Finally, the pointer slowly came to a stop, resting on a single point.

The system beeped, "Ding, congratulations on obtaining one of the Otaku Sets, an NDS."

The NDS, a dual-screen handheld game console produced by Nintendo, is renowned for its innovative dual-screen design, touchscreen operation, and high-quality gaming experience.

Wang Xiaoyi was stunned; he hadn't expected to win a game console. Although it wasn't the divine weapon or magical pet he had initially hoped for, it was still a very, very special prize.

He slowly and carefully took the NDS out of his backpack, each movement filled with anticipation and nervousness. When his fingers touched the familiar casing, an indescribable emotion welled up inside him. This NDS was the one he used to own; every scratch, every worn corner, carried countless memories.

He gently stroked the NDS case, a case he had carefully chosen, printed with his favorite game character. The case still held his cherished stickers from back then; some had faded, but their original charm was still faintly visible.

His eyes gradually welled up with tears, and he suddenly couldn't help but cry. This NDS game console was more than just an object; it was a testament to his youth, accompanying him through countless boring hours. In the intervals between adventures, this game console brought him joy and comfort, allowing him to enjoy moments of peace and happiness amidst the thrilling adventures.

Countless nights he lay in bed, staring at the NDS screen, immersed in the world of games. The levels, the characters, the stories—they all seemed to be an indispensable part of his life.

He clutched the NDS tightly in his hands, as if holding a precious memory. He knew that this game console was not just an object, but a symbol of his youth and a loyal companion in his adventurous life.

He gently picked up the NDS game console, the familiar feel tugging at his fingertips, as if transported back to countless nights when he was engrossed in the world of games, forgetting the passage of time. That unique touch stirred a warm current within him, a memory of his youth.

He carefully pressed the power button, and the screen gradually lit up, revealing the familiar startup screen. The game cartridge was still inserted in the machine. He turned it off, gently pulled it out, revealing the three large characters "Yu-Gi-Oh!" on the cartridge. It was his favorite card game, and each card carried his strategies and memories.

He reinserted the game cartridge, pressed the start button, and the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! reappeared before his eyes. Those familiar cards, those intense battles, seemed to transport him back to that world full of passion and challenge.

He wondered, since it's a lottery, why not have an UP event? Like those events in games, with multiplied probabilities, so he could try his luck. That would not only increase his chances of getting an SSR, but also let him experience the fun and excitement of the lottery.

The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, so he started asking questions in the system, inquiring about any relevant settings or activities. But the system didn't respond.

Wang Xiaoyi looked at the NDS game console in his hand, his heart filled with joy, but then he frowned. The charging problem was indeed a pressing issue; after all, without a suitable power outlet, even the best game console was just a pile of scrap metal.

Magical charging? The idea sparked Wang Xiaoyi's interest, but he immediately shook his head. He was unfamiliar with magic, let alone how to apply it to charging. What about asking a craftsman to help improve the equipment? This idea seemed more feasible, but he worried whether the craftsman could understand and solve the problem.

Let's put this problem aside for now. I'm a time traveler myself, and I'll encounter other time travelers who arrived even earlier. What can they do? I can only put this aside for now.

Hurry up and farm as many gratitude points as possible to draw the Otaku Set. I've already drawn the NDS, and the other sets are really exciting. Should I use more gratitude points to draw again? Resist the urge to draw, draw, don't draw, draw, don't draw... Wang Xiaoyi struggled with this dilemma, but ultimately realized he was a free-to-play player. Free-to-play players must be extremely restrained and calm. The resources from daily tasks are hard-earned and shouldn't be wasted. He must wait for events to use them—the truth of free-to-play.

Wang Xiaoyi wants to do more tasks, earn more gratitude points, and then keep drawing prizes, hoping to win the complete Otaku Set.

He gripped the NDS tightly in his hand, his heart filled with determination and anticipation.
