Furthermore, something had been bothering him. The total number of thumbs-up hasn’t increased drastically for a long time. During this period, my total thumbs-up has increased to 12,150 through my efforts by helping the elderly and the like. However, the sudden increase of 10,000 thumbs-up after rescuing someone with the Hippocrates Soup did not happen again. Originally, I assumed that I would have been rewarded with some thumbs-up by getting Jake, Henry and William under legal jurisdiction. However, that seems to be far from the truth. Hence, this unexpected event rendered Christopher confused about the process of the Thumbs-Up System. I know very well that I need to make use of the Thumbs-Up System if I wish to get stronger. I need to have lots of thumbs-up if I need help from the Thumbs-Up System. I may have exceeded five digits for my total thumbs-up right now, but I am still very far away from a huge and respectable figure. Currently, I really have to solve the issue of procuring large numbers of thumbs-up in the shortest time. It would be great if more opportunities presented themselves for me to rescue somebody. However, it is not realistic to expect lots of chances for me to emerge as the hero. Well, one of the methods is to use the currency exchange—the exchange rate against the Dollar is 100:1 right now. Unfortunately, I am as poor as a church mouse, so this method isn’t right for me either.August 1st was Christopher’s rest day and presently, he was spacing out while staring at the murky liquid in the plastic water bottle. The liquid was the remnants from washing the pot after concocting the Hippocrates Soup. Christopher had proved that it was, in fact, extraordinary. The remnants seemed to contain an extraordinarily vast life source. It could be both ingested and applied exteriorly. Even the tiniest drop of it would be enough to give life to withered plants. The Hippocrates Soup most probably rescued Maryse, and that was the most feasible reason why she survived. After being deep in thought for almost the whole day, Christopher still had no clue on how to make use of the remnants. In the end, he kept it. Well, I should keep it for now. I’ll get to it in the future after figuring out its usage. “Should I enter a Lucky Draw?” he mumbled to himself after putting away the Hippocrates Soup remnants. I have been very frugal lately and I have not had a Lucky Draw for the longest time, and I just have the urge right now. Christopher could not suppress the urge once it surfaced. Therefore, he took out his phone to enter the Lucky Draw System. He then clicked the ‘Start’ button and the Golden Wheel started spinning. “Ding! Congratulations to the Host. You have received The Scrolls of Choosing Skills Experience. You have received 100 experience points in Choosing Skills.” “Ding! Congratulations to the Host. You have received The Scrolls of Knife Skills Experience. You have received 100 experience points in Knife Skills.” “Ding!” “Ding!” “Ding!” … For seven consecutive times, Christopher received ordinary Skills Experience Scrolls. However, he didn’t seem flustered at all. Well, I have more than 10,000 thumbs-up right now, which means I have more than 100 chances in the Lucky Draw System, so why should I panic? Besides, after going through so many lucky draws, I have concluded that there is a pattern to it. Unless it is some sort of exceptional luck, it is only possible to have a different type of reward after about eight lucky draws under normal circumstances. True enough, when he clicked the ‘Start’ button again… “Ding! Congratulations to the Host. You have received a herb ingredient—a seed of The Unresting Mountain Ginseng.” A robotic notification announced loudly and it reverberated in Christopher’s mind. After the notification, a plump and lush seed, which looked similar to a soybean, appeared on his palm. “A seed of The Unresting Mountain Ginseng?” He scowled deeply while staring at the seed on his palm as he thought to himself, Honestly, I am not very satisfied with the results from the lucky draw this time. Well, I am not even expecting a recipe similar to the Hippocrates Soup that has the effect of resurrecting the dead but from where I stand, the useless Wish Seasoning is even better than this so-called seed of The Unresting Mountain Ginseng. Besides, what use do I have with a seed? You should give me proper and valuable ginseng! I do not even expect an old ginseng. I would have been happy with a ginseng that is 10 to 20 years old but all I got was a seed… D*mn it! I don't even know how to culture this! He shook his head while raising his hand and he was preparing to throw the seed out of the window before continuing with the Lucky Draw. In the end, Christopher lowered his hand after weighing his options. Forget it! Fine! I did go through eight rounds of lucky draws, after all. I spent 800 thumbs-up for this and I should bury it in the soil even if I have no idea how to culture it. It is a waste just to throw it away. Decision made, Christopher walked to the balcony in search of an empty pot. Then, he planted the seed. He didn’t even bother watering the seed and he buried it directly into the soil. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a squeak. An orangey-yellow, root-like structure wiggled out of the soil. Then, even more light yellow roots emerged from the soil. This happened quite swiftly and visibly as a vibrant-colored, basketball-sized ginseng sprouted right in front of Christopher in less than a minute, as if it was instantly 3D-printed to life. Oh, f*ck! What the h*ll? Christopher’s eyes widened in shock when he saw that, and his mouth hung open like a fool. What just happened? Can ginsengs even grow in such a way? It is now completely formed moments after I planted its seed! In the beginning, Christopher was in a daze but he started leaping in joy after he came around. True enough, the rewards from the Lucky Draw are wonderful things! Luckily I hadn’t thrown this away earlier and I decided to plant the seed; otherwise, I would definitely have regretted my decision. The ginseng is the size of a basketball and it has an orangey-yellow color. In addition to that, it looks very good and it even looks like a smiling baby from the front. Although I can’t tell how old it is right now, I am sure that it is quite old based on its refreshing fragrance. I’m rich! I am rich this time! I will be rich! Previously, Christopher saw a news report reporting a 30g, 100-year-old wild ginseng selling for an astronomical price at 3 million, and a poor farmer from the Misty Mountain became a millionaire in less than a day. As for my ginseng, I am not sure if I can sell it for 3 million, but I am sure that it will fetch a handsome sum! Christopher dug the ginseng out of the pot carefully. Then, he placed it neatly into a wooden box before walking down the stairs, thereafter ordering a cab to make his way to Brentwood City’s largest marketplace—the Medicine Marketplace. Half an hour later, Christopher arrived at the Ancient Medic Street, which was the location of the Medicine Marketplace.The street was named with the words ‘Ancient Medic’ and it was rather self-explanatory. Elegantly renovated pharmacies lined both sides of the Ancient Medic Street, and Christopher caught a whiff of the fragrance of some herbal medicine even before reaching the street. He did not plan to enter the smaller shops at all. Instead, he held onto the wooden box while making his way to the largest shop at the corner of the street. “Welcome!” A shop assistant, who was wearing a traditional robe, welcomed him with a courteous smile and a slight bow the moment he entered the shop.
