Chapter 039: Lottery Draw

Wang Bo left the Sutra Library and arrived at the main hall of the Great Thunderclap Monastery to meet the Tathagata Buddha.

At this moment, the Tathagata Buddha was radiating golden light, his aura magnificent, with faint Buddhist chants resounding, a scene of grandeur that inspired awe and admiration.

To ordinary people, the Tathagata Buddha had recovered from his weakness and was still the Buddhist patriarch who commanded respect across the three realms.

But Wang Bo knew that the Tathagata Buddha was far from having returned to his peak.

He appeared the same as before, but in reality, he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

It would take some time for him to fully recover.

"Benefactor, how was your visit to the Sutra Library?" the Tathagata Buddha asked with a slight smile as he saw Wang Bo.

"It was a fruitful journey." Before coming to this world, Wang Bo had never imagined that he would one day enter the Sutra Library of the Great Thunderclap Monastery.

And the visit to the Sutra Library had greatly enhanced Wang Bo's foundation.

The Tathagata Buddha nodded. "Since the benefactor has gained something, that is good. Today, have you come to take your leave?"

"Exactly." Wang Bo nodded. "I have been in the Sutra Library for a month and gained a lot. It is time to leave."

The Tathagata Buddha said, "Benefactor, please take care. The gates of Mount Meru are always open to you."

Wang Bo took out several items from his bosom, including the lotus throne and the pure vase of jade, and handed them over. "By the way, these are yours, so I'll return them to you."

The Tathagata Buddha was slightly moved. Not to mention the others, his twelve-grade lotus throne was one of the supreme treasures of heaven and earth, something that would tempt any immortal or Buddha. He had not expected Wang Bo to willingly return it.

Such magnanimity was truly admirable.

The Tathagata Buddha did not decline and accepted them, saying solemnly, "The cause of today will bear fruit in the future. Should the benefactor ever need anything, the entire Mount Meru will heed your call."

Wang Bo had not expected that returning the treasures of Mount Meru would yield such a result.

Delighted, he exchanged a few pleasantries and then turned to leave Mount Meru.

The reason Wang Bo was willing to return these treasures was not because he was generous, but because he had already used the Replication Mirror to copy them.

With the copies, after strengthening them a dozen times with Enhancement Stones, their power should not be inferior to the originals. So Wang Bo simply returned the originals to forge a good connection.

He had not expected that this would make Mount Meru owe him a great favor, which was also a kind of gain.

If he ever encountered a formidable enemy in the future, he might be able to ask the Tathagata Buddha for help.

Don't think that just because this Buddha was defeated by the Tathagata Buddha of No Heaven, the Tathagata Buddha of this world is weak.

In reality, the Tathagata Buddha was still very powerful.

It was just that the Tathagata Buddha of No Heaven was too strong. In the original world, he had already forced the Tathagata Buddha to reincarnate, captured the gods of the three realms, and imprisoned them. Not to mention that after coming to this world, he had also devoured Mara, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and defeated Mount Meru of this world—that was not a trivial feat.

Wang Bo sped all the way and in an instant returned to his mansion in Luoyang City, where he saw Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, whom he had not seen for a month.

While on Mount Meru, he had sent messages to Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, so the two women knew about Wang Bo's activities in the Sutra Library and were not worried about his month-long absence.

But when they saw Wang Bo return, they still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're finally back," Xiao Qing said grumpily. "I thought you were having so much fun on Mount Meru that you'd become a monk and leave me and my sister widowed."

Wang Bo laughed, pulled Xiao Qing into his arms, and kissed her passionately, spending a good while to suppress her resentment.

Then he released Xiao Qing and gently comforted Xiao Bai with soft words.

Only then did the two women forgive Wang Bo.

That night, they naturally shared a bed after so long.

To be honest, during this month, Wang Bo had read many Buddhist mental techniques and had been somewhat influenced by them, developing a desire for a pure and detached mind. But after this night of sharing a bed, he finally regained his former feelings.

At night, after Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing had fallen asleep, Wang Bo connected with his cheat system.

"There should be no more transmigrators in this world, right?"

[None left.]

"So, I'll be going to a new world soon."

[Correct.]

"Then let's do the lottery first." Wang Bo remembered he had thirteen chances to draw, plus one for sending off the Tathagata Buddha of No Heaven, making fourteen in total. But because of bad luck this time—one transmigrator had died and a prize had been deducted—he planned to draw fewer times.

"I'll just draw four times."

[Alright. The lottery begins. Prizes determined. Congratulations, host. This time you have drawn: Seven Dragon Balls, Gourmet Cells, the Azure Heaven Treasure Record, and a Universal Card.]

Wang Bo knew three of these four items.

The Seven Dragon Balls went without saying; he already had several, and with a few more, he could summon the dragon.

He also knew about Gourmet Cells, a type of cell from the world of [Toriko] that could combine with human cells, allowing one to grow stronger simply by eating.

The upper limit was also terrifying. Wang Bo remembered that in the world of [Toriko], there was a monster called the Space Taipan Snake, with a capture level of 530,000 and a length of 80 million kilometers.

Earth's circumference was just over 10,000 kilometers, and the sun's diameter was over a million kilometers.

Compared to the Space Taipan Snake, these two celestial bodies were nothing.

This showed that the upper limit of the [Toriko] world was truly cosmic. Even if the Space Taipan Snake dared not swallow the sun, it could certainly eat the Earth.

And no one could be sure that the Space Taipan Snake was the highest-capture-level ingredient in that world.

What if there were even more monstrous creatures above it?

Perhaps there were monsters that fed on the sun, so the upper limit of Gourmet Cells was indeed very high.

As for the Azure Heaven Treasure Record, it was a divine martial art from the world of [The Legend of the Emperor], created by the goddess Nuwa, with power that could truly shake heaven and earth.

But Wang Bo already had the Solar Divine Art and did not plan to cultivate the Azure Heaven Treasure Record. Instead, he could integrate its essence into the Solar Divine Art.

As for the last item, the Universal Card, Wang Bo was a bit helpless. He really didn't know what it was.

Which world did this thing come from?

Fortunately, the cheat system quickly provided the answer: this item came from the world of [Heaven's Lost Property], a treasure of the heroine Ikaros.

It could use the machines of Synapse to fulfill any wish for the user, functioning like a teleportation device.

But this thing was useless to Wang Bo.

After all, Synapse was in the world of [Heaven's Lost Property], and the Universal Card could not transmit machines from Synapse to Wang Bo across worlds.
