The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Ziyang immediately returned to his room and did not go to the underground training room.

The underground training room is a public space that anyone can use.

If Huangfu Yue or Aunt Zhao were to accidentally stumble upon them while they were testing the new system's functions in the underground training room, things would get really messy.

After returning to his room, Zhang Ziyang immediately recited the mantra to himself.

—Enter the prize pool!

The next second, he vanished from the spot.

The prize pool space is not displayed in the form of a light screen.

Instead, it will directly pull the host into an unknown subspace.

As soon as Zhang Ziyang landed, he immediately looked around.

There were no sun, moon, or stars in the sky, but the light was still plentiful.

There were no mountains or forests around, only an endless plain, and a vast expanse of white for kilometers around.

The only eye-catching thing was the huge gacha box in the center, radiating golden light.

The front of the box has the words "Treasure Chest Scratch Card" written in large characters.

Apart from that, there are no other decorative items, making it look very simple.

Zhang Ziyang felt a sense of novelty, but he did not immediately step forward to draw a scratch card. Instead, he left the prize pool space.

This was because a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

Can real-world items be stored in the prize pool?

Based on their usual conversations, it's clear that the dog's intelligence level is quite high; it can even be a bit harsh.

It would be bad if I discovered a bug and reported it, only to have the system fix it immediately.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyang did not intend to consult the dog system.

After returning to his familiar room, Zhang Ziyang picked up a pillow and then re-entered the prize pool space.

The empty scene reappeared.

Zhang Ziyang looked down at the pillow in his arms and smiled!

Just as he had expected, items from the real world could indeed be freely brought into the prize pool space.

In this way, I essentially got a huge personal space for free.

At this point, someone might say:

You have a system inventory, right? And the release device can store items, so why are you so happy?

Hey~

Although this system's backpack is powerful, it has limitations; you can't just grab anything and stuff it in.

Otherwise, Zhang Ziyang could easily have easily collected several mountain peaks into his system inventory with a simple gesture, and then, during battle, he could just pull out the mountain peaks and smash them all over the enemy's head.

In that way, he, at the first level, could use this heaven-defying ability to crush and beat up card masters at the fifth or sixth level!

The system backpack can only hold specific items that Zhang Ziyang owns; it cannot be too large or contain abstract concepts.

As for the storage space of the release device, it's too small.

It can't compare to the spacious and generous prize pool!

However, there are still drawbacks to the prize pool size.

For example, if Zhang Ziyang wants to bring items from the real world into the prize pool space, he must meet two conditions.

First, you must grasp it or hold it in your hand.

Second, you must enter the prize pool space yourself.

In this way, Zhang Ziyang could no longer directly throw the items into the prize pool space; he had to transport them in himself.

"Heh, the defenses are quite tight, but compared to the gains, these limitations are nothing. So, what we need to discuss next is..."

Zhang Ziyang stopped halfway through his sentence, went out the door, and went straight downstairs.

There is a small fish tank on the TV cabinet in the living room on the first floor.

Inside, there are two small turtles that Aunt Zhao received as a gift from someone when she went shopping at the flower and bird market.

Zhang Ziyang glanced around, and seeing no one, grabbed one and quickly ran back to his room on the second floor.

"Enter the prize pool!"

The scene before him changed again, and Zhang Ziyang immediately looked down at the little turtle in his hand.

The little creature huddled inside its shell, shivering.

After a while, seeing that there was no danger, it dared to stick its head out of the shell, and it looked to be in good spirits.

"They actually managed to bring in living creatures!"

Zhang Ziyang's smile was harder to suppress than an AK's. He quickly returned to the real world, put the little turtle back in the fish tank, and then rushed back to his room, thus completing his demonstration.

The ability to bring live animals into the prize pool is a very powerful feature with many applications!

For example, when descending to the lower realm, they were unfortunately attacked by a pack of demon wolves.

The wolf pack is too large; a war of attrition will only lead to their own demise.

The alpha wolf wanted to carry out a decapitation strike, but it was protected by the pack. Even if it tried to get close, it would only end up being ganged up on.

However, if there is room in the prize pool, the Wolf King can be dragged in for a forced one-on-one battle.

With the alpha wolf killed, the pack lost its organization. Killing a few more will cause it to scatter, and the danger will be over...

After the initial excitement, Zhang Ziyang regained his composure.

Although living creatures can enter the prize pool space, they cannot stay for too long.

Because there is nothing in the prize pool space except for the lottery box, the oxygen content inside is not high.

If you stay there for too long, most people would probably feel suffocated.

"Compared to the advantages, these disadvantages are nothing. It's time to get down to business."

After completing the experiment, Zhang Ziyang arrived at the lottery box with satisfaction.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I'm getting closer, I've discovered the details.

The back of the raffle box is engraved with relevant information:

1. Receive one free scratch card every week; save it if you don't use it.

2、刮刮卡只会出现五种结果：谢谢惠顾（40%）、黑铁宝箱（30%）、白银宝箱（20%）、黄金宝箱（8%）、钻石宝箱（2%）。

The rarer the treasure chest, the better the items you get.

3. In addition to receiving one free scratch card per week, scratch cards can also be obtained by completing tasks or defeating challenge room opponents.

After reading it, Zhang Ziyang nodded silently, having completely understood.

only……

Is the probability of getting "Thank you for your patronage" too high?

"System, I want to scratch the card."

After suppressing his emotions, Zhang Ziyang immediately spoke.

[Because this is the host's first time using the prize pool space, and given the excellent performance in previous missions, ten treasure chest scratch cards are hereby awarded.]

[Should we start scratching the card now?]

Zhang Ziyang inwardly praised the system's magnanimity and gave it a thumbs up.

"Yes!"

The lottery box in front of them immediately emitted a dazzling golden light that was impossible to look at directly, and a huge spinning sound like a pinball machine came from inside.

As the light faded, Zhang Ziyang lowered his hand, and ten palm-sized cards shot out from the opening of the lottery box.

They lined up in a row, floating neatly in front of Zhang Ziyang.

"Alright, alright, let's start scratching the cards now!"

Zhang Ziyang's eyes gleamed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and then raised his hand in a wave.

The silver paint on each card was immediately scratched off, revealing the words underneath.

"Thank you for your patronage."

"Thank you for your patronage."

"Thank you for your patronage."

"Thank you for your patronage."

"..."

"Congratulations on winning a Black Iron Treasure Chest."

"Congratulations on winning a Silver Treasure Chest."

"Congratulations on winning a golden treasure chest."

Looking at the result before him, Zhang Ziyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

I actually got seven "Thank you for your patronage" messages after scratching?

The only golden treasure chest should be a guaranteed reward from a ten-pull scratch-off event.

"Hehe~ Hehe~ I knew it, I knew it!"

Zhang Ziyang stared wide-eyed and slowly opened his mouth, finally understanding.

He knew he wasn't that lucky; after two and a half years of time travel, his luck had already been reset!

"Oh well, it's free anyway. Having a gold treasure chest as a backup is already pretty good. One should be content!"

Zhang Ziyang comforted himself and then checked the treasure chest he had drawn.

After the scratch cards are scratched, the "Thank you for your patronage" cards will disappear into light and shadow, while the winning cards will turn into the corresponding treasure chests.

Now, there are three treasure chests in front of him: one iron, one silver, and one gold.

Zhang Ziyang opened them one by one, and the system provided helpful tips.

"Open the Black Iron Treasure Chest. Congratulations, host, you have obtained two Tier 2 Fire Attribute Crystal Cores!"

"Open the Silver Treasure Chest. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Special Summoning Card!"

"Open the golden treasure chest! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the effect card [Flawless]!"
