Chapter 045: Prize

However, before seeing Roberta off, Wang Bo gave her two things.

One was Ripple Qigong, and the other was a nano suit.

"These two things are your wages for these past few days, Roberta." Wang Bo held Roberta's hand and said regretfully, "It's really a pity that I can't keep you."

Roberta said with a moved expression, "Thank you very much for your recognition, Master."

She stepped forward and left a kiss on Wang Bo's cheek. "If given the chance, please allow me to be your personal maid."

With that, Roberta was sent off and vanished without a trace.

[Congratulations, host. You have completed the task once again. Although I've lost count of how many times I've congratulated you, I still want to say: you're the best, host.]

"Is that so? Thanks for the compliment." Wang Bo said with a completely expressionless, monotone voice.

[...You don't seem very enthusiastic, host.]

"That might be because I've lost an excellent maid." Wang Bo said wistfully, holding the cheek that Roberta had kissed.

[An excellent maid? Host, do you have some misunderstanding about maids?]

Wang Bo: ...

[Roberta can neither clean nor cook. Can such a person be considered a maid? She's just a bodyguard in a maid outfit. A maid like that has no soul; a maid like that is not a maid.]

Wang Bo: ...

[A true maid is not only kind and gentle, but also excellent at cooking and housework. She can not only please her master but also defeat her master's enemies. That is a true maid.]

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Bo asked.

[Draw the lottery, host. You have two chances to draw. Maybe you can draw a perfect maid, like Rem or Sakuya Izayoi.]

"Heh." Wang Bo wouldn't believe the system's nonsense. His luck was decent, but drawing a maid from the countless prizes was harder than reaching the sky.

Anyway, Wang Bo had never drawn what he wanted.

For example, the Dimensional Door he wanted most—so far, Wang Bo hadn't even seen a trace of it.

To be honest, Wang Bo could have learned the magic of dimensional travel from Tohru back then, but after fighting with Tohru, he completely forgot about it.

Now that he thought about it, he regretted it so much he wanted to strangle his past self. How could he forget something so important? Was his love for Yushu and Hanyue not enough?

Of course, Wang Bo wouldn't refuse to draw the lottery. As always, what if he got lucky?

"Draw." Wang Bo sighed. If possible, he would have liked to use the Time Stone to peek into the future and see if he could get something good.

But since the last time such behavior was considered cheating by the artifact, Wang Bo could only rely on his own luck.

[Okay, please wait. Starting the draw. Prize confirmed. It has been sent to your four-dimensional pocket. Huh, this time it's still a very good prize, host.]

"What?" Wang Bo asked.

[The first prize is one Dragon Ball. Congratulations, host. Now you have two Dragon Balls. Drawing a second Dragon Ball among countless treasures proves that you have a connection with the Dragon Balls. I look forward to the day you collect all seven. I believe you can do it.]

Wang Bo clicked his tongue. The Dragon Balls were definitely a good thing, but collecting all seven was no easy task.

Although the system said it lightly, Wang Bo knew it was all about luck, and he had to draw seven times separately. He really didn't know if he could gather all seven Dragon Balls.

"What's the second prize?"

[The second prize is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations: Sprinkling Beans to Form Soldiers.]

Sprinkling Beans to Form Soldiers?

Wang Bo was stunned. He knew about the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations; they seemed to be from Journey to the West, the immortal arts practiced by Zhu Bajie. He also remembered that Zhu Bajie's senior brother, Sun Wukong, practiced the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations.

Wang Bo remembered that when he was a child, he always thought the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations were superior to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations.

After he grew up, he understood that although the Thirty-Six Transformations seemed to have thirty-six fewer changes than the Seventy-Two, their power was terrifying.

Wang Bo remembered that among the Thirty-Six Transformations, there was one called Mediating Creation.

This technique uses supreme magical power to mediate heaven and earth, fathom creation, create something from nothing, bring the dead to life, and transform all things.

It could even evolve the universe and create living beings.

This was something the Seventy-Two Transformations could never achieve.

Wang Bo really hadn't expected that one day he could obtain the Thirty-Six Transformations.

Even if it was only one of them, it was still extremely powerful.

If he remembered correctly, Sprinkling Beans to Form Soldiers could turn beans into soldiers.

Moreover, the soldiers transformed were not ordinary soldiers but heavenly soldiers.

Don't be fooled by the fact that in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong alone could defeat a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. That was because Sun Wukong came from a famous school, practicing the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Great Heavenly Immortal Art.

His strength had long placed him among the immortals.

So, in contrast to Sun Wukong, heavenly soldiers and generals were nothing but trash.

But in reality, the heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Court were not mortals; their combat power far exceeded ordinary people. Wang Bo wasn't sure exactly how strong they were, but he could test it.

Wang Bo entered the Time Villa and took a bean out of his four-dimensional pocket.

He was already used to this; among the rewards drawn, conceptual things like this would become physical objects.

For example, the Noble Phantasm Twelve Labors turned into a crystal, and the power of the Little Universe turned into a bead.

As for the immortal art Sprinkling Beans to Form Soldiers, it directly turned into a bean, and a green bean at that.

As usual, Wang Bo first took out the Woodcutter's Spring, then used the Copy Mirror to copy a green bean, and then threw the bean into the Woodcutter's Spring.

After the Spring Goddess came out, she only gave Wang Bo an enlarged version of the green bean, which looked no different on the outside.

Wang Bo ate the copied and upgraded green bean.

In an instant, he felt as if he had gained a kind of superpower.

Wang Bo reached out and grabbed; one-third of his magical power was consumed, and a handful of beans appeared in his hand. He then scattered the beans into the air.

Upon contact with the air, the beans rapidly expanded and in the blink of an eye turned into soldiers wearing ancient armor with expressionless faces. What was even more interesting was that the faces of these heavenly soldiers were exactly the same as Wang Bo's.

As if stamped from the same mold.

To test the combat power of the heavenly soldiers, Wang Bo summoned a demon filled with evil aura inside the Time Villa.
