A journey into an infinite dimension

What was completed was 'Branch Mission 2'. If that was all, Nagaye wouldn't be that surprised.

After all, he had literally completed this mission since he successfully established "Chaldea" which borrowed the name from Chaldea and took in many cursed children not limited to the Tokyo area.

Why 'literally'? Because the mission was just to build a home for the children, which he did, but the mission was not shown as completed.

Jia Ye asked Ge Jiuye the reason, but she didn't say much. She just told him that this task would be completed sooner or later, so he didn't care too much about it.

However, just when he left Area 1, the system suddenly prompted him that the mission had been completed.

Did something happen in Chaldea while he was away?

[It's because of how you spoke up for the children in Area 1 just now.]

In the world of consciousness, like Jiaye, Ge Jiuye, whose appearance has not changed at all even after two years, spoke up to answer Jiaye's doubts.

Shelter, sometimes, is more than just an environment or a place to live.

[So, if I hadn't spoken up for them just now, this mission would never be completed?]

Hearing this, Jia Ye couldn't help but ask.

[No, once you take in all the unfortunate children in the world, this mission will be automatically completed.]

Ge Jiuye said this with a hint of teasing and a smirk in his tone.

[Also, there are no ifs in everything. Isn't that the principle you believe in, Jiaye?]

[However, before something happens, no one can tell what the right thing to do is, right?]

Jia Ye, who had long been accustomed to Ge Jiuye's teasing, said without caring at all.

Yes, yes.

With a pleasant smile, Ge Jiuye, who usually teased Jiaye (1/?), turned around and enthusiastically helped Jiaye open the card drawing interface.

[By the way, we agreed to go for a big draw once we had enough points, and now is the time.]

In the past two years, the system would occasionally issue some emergency tasks to Jia Ye. Although there were no point rewards for the emergency tasks, Jia Ye would sell some useless things after getting them, so he accumulated a lot of card drawing points and exchange points.

He used most of the exchange points to build and upgrade his home system, Chaldea, but didn't touch any of the card draw points.

So, under this kind of "hardworking and frugal" situation, after two years, Jiaye had saved up enough points to make ten consecutive draws in the A-level card pool.

As for why he is obsessed with the A-level card pool, one reason is that Jiaye is not addicted to drawing cards. He views the points earned from drawing cards more as "reserve food".

After all, the exchange rate between card drawing points and redemption points is 1:5. If the redemption points are used up one day, the card drawing points can come in handy.

Another reason is because Ge Jiuye said that there would be a surprise when doing ten consecutive draws in the A-level card pool for the first time, so after a few times, Jiaye saved up the points.

And now, we are about to "return to the time before liberation".

【Then let’s smoke it. 】

There is nothing wrong with it at night.

Although it would be a bit painful to spend all the points accumulated for two years at once, and according to the exchange rate, 40,000 card drawing points would be exchanged for a huge sum of 200,000 exchange points, but seeing that Ge Jiuye was so expectant and interested, Jia Ye just let her do it.

The [Lottery] module was activated. It was still the familiar interface, and the familiar three card pools with very different special effects. However, compared to the first time, Jia Ye now had the confidence and capital to click into the A-level card pool.

And the moment he entered the A-level card pool, even Jia Ye couldn't help but sigh, "Evil capitalism!"

The interface of the A-level card pool is completely incomparable to that of the C-level card pool. To use a simple example, the A-level card pool is inside "Chaldea", and the C-level card pool is the ruins around "Chaldea".

This is a completely undisguised disdain for the cheap C-Class.

While sighing, Jiaye selected 'Ten Consecutive' with his mind, then looked at the stack of golden cards in his hand and suddenly remembered something.

[Speaking of which, can other people see these cards? What if I ask someone else to help me draw them?]

Jia Ye remembered that his daughter seemed to have very good luck. She would basically choose "one more" for the popsicle, and she would always win the grand prize in the mall's lucky draw.

Yiji's current record is that she picked up a lottery ticket on the road, and won nearly 10 billion yuan that night. At that time, Jiaye even spent some time to put an end to the trouble.

So if Yiji were to draw it, the result would probably be much better.

[Others can't see or touch it, so Jiaye, just give up.]

How could Ge Jiuye not see what Jia Ye was thinking? However, she just shrugged helplessly and interrupted his thoughts.

[And your own luck isn't bad either. Didn't you draw two gold cards in the C-rank card pool last time?]

There is a 2.4% chance of winning two gold cards, so shouldn't the 29% chance of winning be more?

【Wasn’t it because of my threats that I was chosen?】

After a moment of hesitation, Jia Ye couldn't help but ask.

[...Jiaye, you don't think this system has its own mind, do you?]

Hearing this, Ge Jiuye could not help but hold his forehead with his hand.

What era is this? There are still people who think that the system has its own intelligence and will turn into a beautiful girl or something. Reality is not a novel, how can it be so ridiculous?

[This system is a dead thing. The result of the last card draw was not due to any threat, but was entirely due to your own luck.]

Is that so?

Two years later, Jia Ye learned the real truth for the first time.

Before this, he always thought that the system also had its own intelligence.

Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

[Having an overly imaginative mind is a disease and must be treated.]

After making a light comment, Ge Jiuye couldn't wait to urge Jiaye.

【Hurry up and draw! Two years of hard work will all be paid off in this draw! 】

Perhaps because she had been cheated too many times in her past life, she particularly liked watching others draw cards. She was very happy regardless of whether they got any.

When the goods are not shipped, we feel happy and gloat over the misfortune; when the goods are shipped, we feel happy and hope for the next shipwreck.

【Then can you smoke? 】

However, Jia Ye did not give up and soon set his sights on Ge Jiuye.

[I don’t smoke! I won’t smoke even if I die!]

Hearing this, Ge Jiuye refused without any hesitation.

And the reaction was very intense, just like a kitten whose fur stood up after being frightened by a cucumber.

[No reason, I just won't draw! Jiaye, I'm telling you, even if I die, jump into the Mariana Trench, or plow the entire dimension, I will never draw a single card!]

As if anticipating the question that Jia Ye would ask next, Ge Jiuye made an absolute assertion directly.

【Okay, I'll smoke it myself.】

Although he didn't know why Ge Jiuye was so averse to drawing cards, since she was so determined, Nagaye didn't force her.

Completely unaware that his next move would mean spending all his savings, Jia Ye casually shuffled and cut the deck a few times, then spread it out and drew ten cards from it without any pattern.

In an instant, everything is full of light and color.

Chapter 117 The Secret is Deeper

[Travel World Selection Card: B—You can freely choose the world you want to travel to, and quests will be issued based on the world you choose (Note: The world traveled using this method will definitely be the "Possession Flow" and cannot be changed)]

[Henglai Medicine: A—Grants the user immortality, resistance to all hostile environments, and adaptability. Even if the soul is annihilated, the body erased, and existence and concepts completely vanished, one can be reborn in the state at the moment of taking the Penglai Medicine. At the same time, as a price, all power and strength gained since then will be lost. (Note: For the "strongest", actually killing the user is just a matter of a wave of the hand, so don't overthink it.)]

[Transfiguration Card: C—Choose an item and give it life, intelligence, and human form. However, loyalty isn't guaranteed, so it's recommended to choose a commonly used item. (Also, the humanoid's appearance will be determined by the item's nature, so you don't need to worry about it.)]

[Yggdrasill: A———The spirit of the "World Tree" Yggdrasill. If the world you travel to in the future contains a World Tree or a related concept, then your identity will definitely be related to the World Tree, or even become the World Tree itself.

After using it, you will gain the power of the World Tree, which means you can construct a complete world. It can also be used to save a world on the verge of destruction. (Another tip: the reason why this seemingly high-end prop is only rated A is that once the power is used, you will turn into a tree. Even if you look like a human, you are still a tree. Therefore, this thing is a supreme treasure for others, but it is useless to you, so the rating is lowered.)

[Transformation Belt: D—It allows you to transform into a Kamen Rider, gaining superhuman abilities. While it's a valuable item in the ordinary world, in this unconventional and mysterious world, it's more convenient to chant a magic trick than to transform.]

[Infinite Headphones: C—These possess features such as absolute indestructibility, non-mass loss, no impact on movement, and unlimited energy. They contain all BGMs from all dimensions and dimensions, and can play the most appropriate BGM based on the current situation, and can be switched at will. (Also note: No one can beat me in my BGM, because every BGM is a BUG...BUFF!)]

[Quantum Vehicle: B—Able to transform into any vehicle at will, possessing performance exceeding that of ordinary vehicles, unaffected by the laws of physics. All vehicles start at the speed of sound, with no upper limit. (Also note: The brakes are of extremely high quality, capable of stopping a vehicle at a thousand times the speed of light in milliseconds.)]

[Book of Azathoth 1/3: B—A magical book named after a certain deity, recording a particular myth. Contains various methods and rituals for summoning the gods and creatures from that myth. However, due to the limited length of only one-third of the book, the rating has changed. (Also note: The complete Book of Azathoth is rated A or higher, and appears to have a close connection with your Mystic Eye.)]

[Puppet Control: A—Controls puppets with invisible threads, amplifying the connected puppets to a certain degree. The driving energy is not magic, but physical and mental strength. (Note: Any object weaker than you can be controlled, regardless of living or non-living)]

On a night of dancing fireflies and a full moon, the brilliant Udumbara flower blooms: ??? ———Can the power of longing truly transcend the constraints of time, space, and dimension? A projection, the crystallization of someone's longing, exists. (Also: The projection seems to have the potential to communicate, its power surpassing the system's ability to observe... Perhaps your drawing this item wasn't a coincidence.)

----

The first time you conduct ten consecutive draws in the A-level card pool, you will receive additional rewards:

Fusion Card Pack: A—Contains one Weapon Fusion Card: A and one Ability Fusion Card: A

Weapon Fusion Card: Feeling overwhelmed with weapons and unsure which one to use? Then use this card to fuse them all together and forge a weapon that's not inspired by any myth or story, but simply yours. (Also, note: the manifestation of the Kabbalah Tree of Life isn't a weapon, but rather a manifestation of power, so it can't be fused.)

Ability Fusion Card: Combines multiple abilities into one, making it easier to use. The more abilities you select, the greater the benefits. (Also, if a higher-level ability is selected, that ability will be used as the main component of the fusion.)

......

Looking at the result of the card drawing in silence, Jiaye always felt that the amount of information brought by this card drawing seemed to be a bit huge.

Leaving aside other things, the hint about "1/3 of the Book of Azathoth" related to his Mystic Eye and the particularly meaningful hint "On a night of dancing fireflies and a full moon, the brilliant Udumbara flower blooms here" always made him feel like he was being arranged.

"Ge Jiuye, the hint should be written by you, what are the situation with those two things?"

Calming his mind, his figure quietly condensed in the room that existed in the world of consciousness. Jia Ye looked at Ge Jiuye in front of him and asked in confusion.

"I think you should have guessed that you have many secrets."

Shaking his head slightly, Ge Jiuye said softly.

"These two props are part of it, but I can't reveal too much to you because it won't do you any good to know it right now."

"..."

Hearing this, Jia Ye fell silent.

He really didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, because it made him feel like some trouble was coming his way but he knew nothing about it.

He hated this feeling, but he couldn't say anything because he knew that Ge Jiuye didn't say it for his own good, so the reason was ultimately because he was too weak.

It is weak not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of deeper levels such as existence and concepts.

"So, what can you tell me now?"

Shaking his head, he threw the thought back into the deepest part of his heart. Jia Ye gently sat down on the edge of the bed and asked Ge Jiuye.

"I can only play the role of the system for once and tell you the purpose and usage of those two items."

Seeing that Jia Ye did not insist on getting the truth, but instead chose to believe himself, a gentle emotion flashed in Ge Jiuye's eyes.

Then she stretched out her hand and gently drew a line in the air in front of her. Suddenly, the familiar system interface popped up.

Then she exited the lottery interface with familiar movements, clicked on the [Storage] module, and turned the front of the panel towards Jia Ye.

The panel of the [Storage] module is like the backpack system in an online game. The first thing that catches your eye is the many neatly arranged square grids. Each grid contains an icon of an item, and the ones in the front are the items you just won in the lottery, as well as the extra "Weapon Fusion Cards".

"The Book of Azathoth is named after a supreme god in a myth created by a certain author. Its function is very simple: it can be used to summon all the gods and creatures that exist in that myth."

Clicking on the icon of a seemingly ordinary book in one of the boxes, Ge Jiuye explained.

"From your world's perspective, summoning techniques are considered 'magic'. Shoggoths are also among those that can be summoned. So, you should understand what I mean."

Shoggoth, a strange creature from the inherent barrier of the Demon's Eye. If what Ge Jiuye said is true, then the inherent barrier contained in Jiaye's Demon's Eye is related to the mythology to which the Book of Azathoth belongs, or even belongs to the realm of that mythology?

Then that figure——

At this moment, Jia Ye was thinking of the indescribable figure dancing tirelessly in the air of the inherent barrier.

"He is indeed one of the gods in that myth."

Nodding, Ge Jiuye confirmed Jiaye's guess.

"But what you saw was only a shadow of Him. His true form is somewhere far away."

"As for the information about your Demonic Eye and the inherent barrier, that is also beyond the scope of disclosure. Sorry."

Looking at Ge Jiuye with an apologetic look on her face, Jia Ye shook his head, smiled and gently rubbed her little head from behind.

"It's okay. Tell me everything later when you can. I will listen to you slowly."

"Don't treat me like one of those little girls you raised."

Although she pouted to express her dissatisfaction, Ge Jiuye did not slap away Jia Ye's hand that was so presumptuous on her head.
