Looking over the items on the wheel, she was suddenly reminded of her past gacha wheel run. What had she gotten from that?
She had been too drunk to properly read their descriptions.
Opening her inventory, she took out a small glowing blue orb that radiated a soft light.
Looking intensely at it, a description quickly formed underneath.
[Moonlit Eclipse Stone]
[A special stone born from the convergence of moonlight and eclipse shadow, filled with condensed lunar essence, which can be used for puppet crafting and alchemy, or directly absorbed by cultivators with lunar-related constitutions to enhance their cultivation and compatibility with lunar-type energies.]
"Condensed lunar essence, there are a few special pills that I can refine with this," Meng Lin said after thinking for a moment.
Putting it away, she took out the other item.
[Starforged Ember.]
[A stellar fragment refined under extreme pressure. It contains astral flame, capable of being used as a core for artifact forging, weapon tempering, and high-grade fire-aligned uses.]
She remembered that she had five of these. Thinking of her Sacred Grade items, which now totaled four, she wondered what would happen if she tried to temper them with this item.
Shaking her head at the thought, she quickly shifted to the matter at hand. Looking at the four new additions to the system gacha, they had clearly replaced four items.
Two of which she had just taken out. She remembered the Soulbinding Stone; however, she couldn't remember the other one. It was related to the void.
She wondered if that was one of the reasons she was able to understand the Void Dao so quickly.
Looking at the items on the list, Meng Lin knew she had a better chance of getting most of them if she used up all the gacha wheel tickets.
Quite a few of them piqued her interest. She wondered how her luck would be.
She flicked her wrist, sending the wheel into a whirl of colors. She would use all 20 tickets.
The wheel spun fast, its form blurring before it gradually slowed, coming to a complete stop at a surprising spot.
[System Mission]
Meng Lin's eyebrows raised in surprise; however, she quickly focused as the wheel was spinning again, fueled by her remaining tickets.
One by one, the items were selected.
Qi Gathering Pills x13

After the final spin settled, the wheel’s glow dimmed completely, leaving only the silent weight of accumulated rewards.
Meng Lin held a restrained excitement in her eyes as she began to tally the results.
The time she had endured within that void space now felt less like suffering and more like a trade—pain exchanged for opportunity.
The Super Grade System Pack appeared five times, immediately standing out as the most she had ever received in one wheel.
The Super Grade Booze Gift Bag appeared six times, while everything else appeared once.
However, looking over the rewards, Meng Lin couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Ninefold Star Technique, Immortal Jade x55, Ensoulment Pill, Golden Silkworm Cocoon, Abyssal Spirit Chains, Blood Monarch Seed, Earthly Star River Water, Shadowstep Talisman x2, and Qi Gathering Pills x13—all of them would have been difficult to get if she had used one ticket at a time, yet now...
A faint exhale escaped her.
“…This really is different from before,” she murmured, her eyes still faintly burning as she looked at the now-quiet interface.
Meng Lin’s thoughts settled first on the most straightforward breakthrough item.
[Ensoulment Pill x1.]
[A peak Nascent Soul breakthrough pill with a 40% success rate, forcibly stabilizing the soul and guiding it through the final transformation into the Ensoulment stage.]
She lingered on it briefly before turning to the next item; she didn't need it at the moment.
[Abyssal Spirit Chains.]
[A top-grade binding item that seals both soul and body simultaneously. Once activated, it suppresses Qi circulation, locks physical movement, and blocks most forms of spiritual probing.]
A top-grade item. Meng Lin's gaze narrowed slightly, a random thought forming.
"It looks somewhat.. uhh, what am I thinking? Next item."
[Blood Monarch Seed.]
[A transformation catalyst usable only by spirit beasts. Once consumed, it forcibly merges the beast’s bloodline with any first bloodline essence consumed, turning it into the monarch seed of said bloodline essence.
—Excluding special or transcendent bloodlines that resist alteration.]
That reminded her, Purple still had not emerged from his evolution. There was already an Ancient Abyssal Serpent Essence sitting in her inventory.
Perfect for Purple.
Storing it away, she turned to the next one.
[Golden Silkworm Cocoon.]
[A Gu cocoon that will hatch into a silkworm within twenty-four hours. Once matured, it can produce specialized spiritual silk used in refinement, binding, formation weaving, and various auxiliary cultivation arts.]
"Ohh, another companion."
Meng Lin smiled. She noted the time condition and wondered what she would be doing by then.
Finally, she turned to the last item.
[Earthly Star River Water (unique)]
[Self-sustaining spiritual water that continuously regenerates as long as it absorbs ambient spiritual energy. Its form and volume are not fixed. It can be used across multiple disciplines within the Hundred Arts—refining, purification, tempering materials, stabilizing reactions, and supporting formation work.]
"An endless water? Earthly?" she wondered if there was a heavenly version.
Her thoughts turned as she stored the item away.
Now all that remained were the Super Grade Booze Bags and the Super Grade System Packs. Between the two, Meng Lin naturally left the system packs for last.
"First, open all the Super Grade Booze Bags."
Meng Lin waved her hand lightly.
One after another, the six Super Grade Booze Bags floated into the air before her, releasing a dense alcoholic fragrance even before opening.
Then the bags burst open one by one.
Panels rapidly appeared across her vision.
[You have received the Top-Grade Starfall Immortal Wine]
[You have received the Top-Grade Meridian Cleansing Liquor]
[You have received the Top-Grade Crimson Bone Brew]
[You have received the Top-Grade Frostmoon Spirit Wine]
[You have received the Sacred-Grade Heavenly Dream Nectar]
[You have received the Top-Grade Thousand Beast Ale]
[You have received the Top-Grade Blackwater Spirit Brew]
[You have received the Top-Grade Violet Cloud Wine]
.....
The room instantly became saturated with rich spiritual fragrance.
Meng Lin’s eyebrows rose slightly as she looked through the overwhelming number of brews—27 top-grade booze along with 3 sacred-grade booze.
"It seems the rate of getting a sacred-grade booze is pretty difficult." Meng Lin couldn't help but wonder if she had perhaps used up all her luck last time. Maybe that's why she died right after.
A glint of excitement surfaced in her eyes as she thought about all the different tastes she would experience later on.
Looking through them, she realized some were clearly meant for direct cultivation enhancement, while others carried medicinal or body-refinement properties. A few even felt dangerous enough that weaker cultivators would probably collapse after a single sip.
Her gaze paused briefly on the Sacred-Grade; Heavenly Dream Nectar, Soul Ember Wine, and the Yinmoon Drunken Essence.
Even through the system panel alone, they carried a faint pressure completely different from the top-grade brews.
“…These alone are already worth several of the spins,” she muttered softly.
And yet—
There were still five Super Grade System Packs left unopened.
[Do you wish to open the Super Grade System Packs]
Meng Lin took a short breath.
“Yes. Open all of them."
The five packages cracked open with a flash. The glow lingered for a moment before fading, revealing several dozen items suspended in front of her.
Then five different reward panels appeared.
[[You have received: 31,800 system coins, 24 high-grade spirit stones, Immortal Jade x6, Frostwave Spirit Rice x120, Spirit Compression Talisman x3, Void Whisper Grass x12.]
[You have received: 36,500 system coins, 18 high-grade spirit stones, Immortal Jade x8, Scarlet Bone Tempering Pills x4, High-Grade Barrier Formation Compass x1, Essence Gathering Dew x15.]
[You have received: 33,900 system coins, 22 high-grade spirit stones, Immortal Jade x7, Thunderfire Iron Sand x80, Gacha Wheel Ticket x1, Medium Realm Breaking Pill x1.]
[You have received: 29,700 system coins, 26 high-grade spirit stones, Immortal Jade x5, Heavenly Silk Thread x40, Spirit Nourishing Pills x12, Top-Grade Spatial Ring x1.]
[You have received: 38,200 system coins, 20 high-grade spirit stones, Immortal Jade x9, Abyssal Ice Crystal x3, Ancient Beast Blood Pill x2, Soul-Sealing Talisman x11.]]
Spiritual light flickered across the room, illuminating the walls in countless colors as the various treasures hovered before her.
The sheer quantity was absurd.
Meng Lin first swept her gaze toward the system coins and spirit stones before looking toward the rarer materials.
“Not bad…”
Her eyes landed on the Abyssal Ice Crystal.
A faint chill spread through the air around it, frost slowly forming across the nearby table despite it being completely untouched.
Meanwhile, the Ancient Beast Blood Pills emitted an ancient savage aura that caused her forearm to glow red. The Crimson Tortoise Dragon seemed to react to it.
Then there was the Top-Grade Spatial Ring.
Meng Lin inspected it briefly before realizing it actually possessed over 300 meters of space, almost like the void space.
“…Convenient.”
Her gaze then shifted toward the Medium Realm Breaking Pill.
"A breakthrough pill, I wonder if it works for all realms."
[Medium Realm Breaking Pill - One-time use — A consumable capable of instantly raising a Soul Wandering, Nascent Soul, or Ensoulment Realm cultivator by an entire small realm.]
“Ohh, so it works up to the Ensoulment Realm. I will have to keep it until the Ensoulment Realm…”
She slowly stored the treasures away one after another.
Only after everything disappeared into her storage did the room finally become quiet again.
But the excitement in her eyes had yet to fade because there were still more rewards waiting to be checked, there were still several from the Wheel she had not checked.
"but for now. System." She called out.

Looking at the system coins and the immortal jades, Meng Lin was overwhelmed with a child-like excitement she had never experienced before.
Even after calming herself down, the numbers still felt absurd.
Back then, when she first obtained the system, even gathering a few thousand coins was difficult, yet now...
A strange warmth spread through her chest.
This was progress.
Her fingers twitched slightly before she focused on the new addition to the system menu, the mission tab.
[System Mission]
Meng Lin’s expression gradually settled.
“…Right, it was the first thing I got from the gacha wheel."
Without hesitation, she opened it.
Instantly, three different tabs floated quietly beneath the main interface.
[Main System Mission]
[Special System Mission]
[Daily System Mission]
"A main system mission and a special one?" Meng Lin couldn't help but become curious.
She had always had this thought about the system, what was it's purpose, what was it's goal.
Focusing on the main system mission.
Meng Lin's excited brows furrowed readily, the expression on her face turning grim, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
[Main System Mission]
Defeat and kill another System Host. [0/1]
Rewards: Unknown
Failure: Death
