Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 245 Lottery! Another Double Yolk!

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in the following days.

Every night he goes out to find two unlucky guys to complete his KPIs, then goes back to sleep with his woman. Life is pretty comfortable.

If there were no lone Japanese soldiers, he would set his sights on the patrol teams.

Since there's a heavy machine gun, there's no need to get close. Just find a high point, set up a position, and fire two or three rounds. That should be enough to kill a few.

He doesn't linger; once he's achieved his KPIs, he leaves, and nobody can stop him.

However, while he found peace, his actions made the Japanese soldiers uneasy.

Previously, it was thought that increasing the number of patrol teams would prevent the rampant attacks by those vicious criminals.

In retrospect, it was clearly a huge mistake.

With so many people, they had absolutely no chance against the heavy machine gun fire!

They are in the open, while the villains are in the shadows; it's impossible to guard against them!

The Japanese soldiers also wanted to find this culprit, and the search never stopped, but they couldn't find the slightest clue.

The Japanese soldiers were human too, and human beings are afraid of death. Faced with this situation, they even stopped going on night patrols for a time.

But not patrolling at night is not an option, otherwise wouldn't that allow spies to act with impunity at night?

Seeing this, Military Police Commander Ichiro Miyamoto had no choice but to ask the garrison for help.

Let's leave that aside for now.

A month has passed quietly since the last lottery draw.

Inside the study, Cao Wei Da, having bathed and changed, clasped his hands together and muttered incantations:
"Mommy, Mommy, please~~ May the Jade Emperor bless me, may the Three Pure Ones bless me, Amitabha Buddha~~ Give me a double-yolk egg! Draw one!"

As soon as the order was given, the turntable in front of him, which only he could see, immediately began to spin wildly.

Then, the prizes that had been drawn appeared one by one.

Thank you for the lucky draw! Thank you for the lucky draw! Eight thousand dollars!

"Double yolk egg! Double yolk egg!"

Cao Weida kept muttering to himself, his eyes fixed on each of the items that appeared.

[I am the God of Gamblers (Skill), Thank you for the lottery, 20 cases of Penicillin, Cangming Soul Lock (Skill)]

The lucky draw has ended, and all prizes are stored in the system space and can be retrieved at any time.

[I am the God of Gamblers: Want to beat me at the gambling table? Bring on the real god!]

[Cangming Soul Lock: See that fly a hundred meters away? It's about to die!]

"?!!!"

Upon seeing that a double-yolk egg had actually been found, Cao Weida was so excited he almost jumped up.

"Haha~ I knew it! How could God not favor someone as kind as me?!"

"I'm the God of Gamblers? Cangming Soul Lock? These two skills sound awesome!"

Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't get the gun shooting skill he had been longing for, he wasn't too disappointed compared to the two skills he had.

"Quick, quick, use them! Let me see just how awesome these two skills are!"

As the skill was used, a strange energy appeared out of thin air from his limbs and bones, and then quickly gathered in his hands. Cao Weida felt a tingling sensation, a feeling that seemed familiar.

I feel the same way when I drew 'Divine Hand' last time!

This time, the tingling sensation didn't just spread to my hands, but gradually spread up my arms.

Then, a mysterious feeling lingered in his mind, making him dizzy but not uncomfortable; on the contrary, he felt unusually comfortable.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the dizzying yet comfortable feeling subsided, and his mind inexplicably gained a lot of knowledge about releasing hidden weapons.

He was familiar with all sorts of techniques, from small plum blossom needles to large throwing knives, both overt and covert.

At the same time, his eyesight became more focused and clear, and he became more perceptive of his surroundings than before.

With a light rubbing of his hands, a strange feeling came over him. As long as he had a hidden weapon, he was a god within a hundred meters!
Having received the reward, I naturally couldn't resist trying it out.

He found a sewing needle, stood in the courtyard, his eyes seemingly casual, yet he had a keen sense of every movement in the courtyard.

Suddenly, his pupils narrowed, and he flicked his wrist slightly.

The next moment, the embroidery needle in his hand seemed to vanish into thin air.

A small pomegranate tree planted about five meters away swayed slightly.

He strolled to the pomegranate tree and saw a fly pinned to a branch by an embroidery needle. The fly, not yet dead, was struggling incessantly, but could not break free.

The embroidery needle pierced deeply into the tree trunk, its tip gleaming slightly in the sunlight.

"This is simply divine skill!" Even Cao Weida, the instigator, couldn't help but secretly marvel at the effect.

Then he pulled out the embroidery needle and tried to embroider it at an even greater distance, having a great time.

"Master, what are you doing?" Ru Qiulan was handling the affairs of the mansion. Although she was not the official mistress of the house, she was doing the work of one. Don't think that there was little to do in the mansion. Whether it was the servants' wages, the mansion's purchases, the sisters' food, clothing and daily necessities, or all sorts of trivial matters, everything needed to be managed.

Just then, she came out and saw her husband running back and forth, having a great time. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle as she asked.

She had heard her elders say that men are like old children. No matter how old, how mature, or how respectable they are in public, there is always a childlike and playful side to them.

She used to have a vague understanding of it, but now she suddenly has some insights.

"Uh, it's nothing. I was just bored and took a walk in the yard."

Cao Wei Da awkwardly stopped what seemed like an incredibly childish action to outsiders. The embroidery needle was so thin and small that it was held between two fingers and could not be seen by outsiders at all. After it was launched, it was completely silent.

To outsiders, he was running around from one side to the other with a big smile on his face; he looked utterly foolish.

The key issue is that he can't explain too much because he doesn't want anyone to know his secret.

"I have something to do, so I'll head out first." With that, she ran out quickly without waiting for Ru Qiulan's reply.

Ru Qiulan behind him chuckled: "I didn't expect the master to be so childish, it's quite cute."

After leaving the courtyard, Cao Weida waved to Xiangzi, who wanted to help pull the rickshaw, to continue practicing, and then strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back.

After trying it out, and combining it with his knowledge of hidden weapons, he had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

Within a 20-meter range, he only needs to use the strength of his wrist to hit a target the size of a fly, and no matter how the target moves, it will never escape his lock.

Moreover, his strength was considerable; with his physical power and hands that had been modified twice, he could pierce even a tree branch as thick as a thumb.

If you use the strength of your upper arm, you can achieve the same effect within a hundred meters!
If the embroidery needle were replaced with a specially made throwing knife, its destructive power would be even greater!

As for exactly how big it is, you'll only know once you try it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that 100 meters is the limit, but rather that beyond 100 meters, his accuracy will gradually decrease.

As for the specifics, he hadn't tried them and wasn't sure.

"Although I didn't get any gun shooting skills, to be honest, in terms of assassination, the 'Cangming Soul Lock' skill completely crushes gun shooting skills!"

The biggest difference between concealed weapons and firearms is that they can kill people silently!

In close-range assassinations, firearms are simply no match!

"I also have the divine skill 'Divine Hand,' which, combined with 'Azure Sea Soul Lock,' makes me even more formidable than a machine gun within a hundred meters, provided I have enough hidden weapons!"

With his system space, Cao Wei Da was certainly not afraid of lacking hidden weapons!

"A divine intervention + the Soul Lock of the Azure Sea + the amazing System Space, this combination is simply invincible!"

"Add to that the agility of skimming the water like a dragonfly, allowing one to move freely through the streets and alleys—who can rival this combination?!"

"As long as it's nighttime, without night vision goggles or thermal imaging, and as long as I have enough hiding space and am not surrounded in a small area, I can kill a whole battalion of Japanese soldiers by myself!"

As a modern Chinese, he suffers from a deep-seated fear of insufficient firepower. He used to be hesitant and timid when it came to killing people because he lacked the ability to kill accurately from a distance.

Now that this weakness has finally been addressed, he can finally relax a lot.

"Oh right, I also have the skill 'I am the God of Gamblers,' which can also be used in conjunction with 'Divine Hand' and the system space."

Actually, the most important ability of the "I am the God of Gamblers" skill is not gambling, but rather his abnormal eyesight and mental calculation ability.

As the saying goes, the greatest loss in gambling is not losing money, but losing math.

Once you shuffle a deck of cards, you can memorize the order of the cards. After that, no matter how you shuffle or deal the cards, it won't matter, because in the eyes of the God of Gamblers, you are always gambling with his cards face up, and you are already in an invincible position from the start.

I ask you, how do you play with other people?
To memorize the order of all the cards in an instant requires not only sharp eyesight but also incredible mental arithmetic skills.

This is what Cao Wei Da values ​​most.

gamble?

It's just a minor path.

"But since I've already won the lottery, I might as well go find a gambling den and give it a try when I have time."

"System, open the panel."

As the command was given, a virtual screen appeared that only he could see.

[System: The Slacking-Off System.]

[Host: Cao Weida, Communist Party member, Inkstone. Military Intelligence Bureau codename: Awakening of Insects]

[Slacking off spot: 39.]

[Slacking Points Function: Lottery (50 Lazy Points can be redeemed once, and a guaranteed reward is given after ten consecutive draws.)]

[Current Abilities: Top-tier criminal investigation skills, top-tier physique, Dragonfly Skimming the Water, Divine Hand Technique, Northern Fist Master, I am the God of Gamblers, Cangming Soul Lock]

[Items in the storage space: Omitted.]

Looking at the extra twenty boxes of penicillin and eight thousand silver dollars, Cao Weida seemed to be deep in thought.
