"How about I bundle all the other people's armbands together and sell them to you? I'll give you an extra 20 star stones?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked.
"Why 20? There are only 5 people, aren't there?"
"Here's 10 Star Stones for you. You're the vice-commander of the SOS Brigade."
"Good grief, you think I'm taking a kickback? Forget it, I won't. I'll just give you an extra 20 star stones." Chen Li gave him an extra 20 star stones.
In fact, after Haruhi Suzumiya took the field exchange gun that Chen Li had casually made and went for a walk, Chen Li inexplicably gained 400 star stones.
All I can say is that she truly lives up to the name Haruhi Suzumiya.
In addition, she immediately received 600 star stones after sending a message to Haruhi Suzumiya... Chen Li gave her 100 more star stones when she wanted them.
But Chen Li was genuinely afraid that Haruhi Suzumiya would cause trouble with the star stones, so he didn't dare give them to her.
“Okay, the first one is Kyon’s.” Haruhi Suzumiya said, crushing the Star Stone and reaching into the Star Treasure Cave.
"I thought you were going to share the star stones with us, but it turns out you're going to use them yourself and then give us the rest?" Ah Xu complained.
"Stop talking nonsense, here, this is yours." Haruhi Suzumiya handed Kyon a round bead that looked like it was made of amber.
"What is this?" Kyon asked curiously, looking at the object in his hand.
"Holy crap, a one-star Dragon Ball?" Chen Li was stunned for a moment when he saw the ball and the star inside.
"What do you mean?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked while holding other star stones and drawing lots.
"These are otherworldly artifacts called Dragon Balls. It's said that collecting seven of them can summon Shenron, who can grant you any wish. But unfortunately, there's only one," Chen Li explained.
"You mean this?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked, holding up a Dragon Ball with two stars inside.
"Holy crap, a two-star Dragon Ball? Quick, quick, keep drawing!" Chen Li was completely dumbfounded.
Is this considered a "wishing machine" that draws out wishes?
After Haruhi Suzumiya used up her 60 star stones, the six dragon balls were placed in front of Chen Li, who then took out ten star stones and handed them to Haruhi Suzumiya.
"Let's do it again, Commander!"
"Uh, okay." Seeing Chen Li's excitement, Suzumiya Haruhi's hand trembled, and she crushed the ten star stones.
It was impossible for Chen Li not to be excited.
Please, these are Dragon Balls! Who didn't dream of collecting all seven when they were a kid?
Even if he couldn't collect all seven, Chen Li was only slightly disappointed, because these Dragon Balls themselves had extremely shining "Wish" and "Omnipotence" attributes.
Whether an item is damaged or not has little impact on the forging of rare artifacts.
"This time it's not Dragon Ball, it's just a cup, what a pity." Haruhi Suzumiya said to Chen Li, holding a golden cup in her hand.
"..." Chen Li felt that choosing to have someone else draw the Star Sea Treasure on his behalf was a brilliant decision.
Perhaps everyone has their own unique weapon, which allows them to more easily resonate with the treasures of the starry sea and accurately find their destined treasure among countless treasures.
Like the Holy Grail in Haruhi Suzumiya's hands.
Even if you can draw a unique weapon, you still need a safety net and must follow the law of conservation of luck.
So instead of creating a special lottery item, it would be better to just buy the items that the backup suitors already have at a low price.
Of course, you can also try using the Happy Dice first.
But for now, let's figure out a way to buy the stuff!

Chapter 126 Chen Li: I'll show my family a special skill—swallowing all the evil in this world alive!
"..." Chen Li stared intently at Suzumiya Haruhi.
"Um... can you stop staring at me like that? Just say what you have to say." Haruhi Suzumiya felt uneasy under his gaze.
"To be honest, you might be a natural-born wish-granting physique," Chen Li said quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"Because whether it's these Dragon Balls or the Holy Grail in your hand, they are both wish-granting machines in a certain sense."
"Really?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked with some surprise.
"Now that you've heard the good news, how about the bad news?"
"What bad news?"
"The bad news is that you can't make a wish with either of these two wish-making tools."
"Why? Is it because I can't adapt to the new environment?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked, somewhat unconvinced.
Haruhi Suzumiya thought she was about to gain the ability to make her wishes come true, but you're telling me she can't make a wish?
“The Dragon Balls require all seven to be used, but you only have six. The Holy Grail does have the power to grant wishes, but yours is corrupted. It contains a strange thing called the Evil of This World, which will only distort your wishes and cause things to go in a direction that destroys the world,” Chen Li said.
The distortion of the Holy Grail resulted in wishes being interpreted as "evil," always fulfilled in ways that brought destruction and disaster.
"Huh?" Haruhi Suzumiya was startled, but curiosity followed immediately.
"Is this what they mean by 'all that glitters on the outside, but rotten on the inside'?" Haruhi Suzumiya used a very apt phrase.
"Pretty much. So, are you selling these things?" Chen Li asked.
"Since you said it can't be used to make wishes, then of course it's going to be sold. Tell me, how much are you willing to pay?" Haruhi Suzumiya sat in the leader's seat, crossed her legs, and looked like she had the upper hand.
Chen Li remained silent, but simply held up five fingers.
"Sigh, only 50?"
“No, it’s 500,” Chen Li said.
"Deal." Haruhi Suzumiya agreed to Chen Li's transaction request without hesitation.
"Alright then, these things are mine now." Chen Li put away the six Dragon Balls and picked up the golden Holy Grail.
"What about my 500 star stones?" Haruhi Suzumiya asked expectantly.
“Theoretically, these 500 star stones already belong to you, but since you are still a minor, I need to keep them for you,” Chen Li said.
"What?"
"And considering your somewhat strange luck, I'll need to keep an eye on you while you use the Star Stone. After all, Haruhi Suzumiya, you wouldn't want something you draw to destroy the world, would you?" Chen Li said.
Chen Li couldn't say whether Haruhi Suzumiya's luck was good or bad.
It's true that she was lucky, but the items she drew had no practical value and only produced extremely strong side effects.
You could say it was bad luck, but these items were all incredibly valuable.
"That's...okay."
"Oh, you're actually so understanding?" Chen Li was somewhat surprised.
“But as collateral, this position-exchange gun is temporarily mine,” Haruhi Suzumiya said matter-of-factly.
"No problem," Chen Li agreed readily.
After all, it's just a model gun.
As for frequently replacing the fake artifacts given to Haruhi Suzumiya to advance the extraction progress of the [Wishing Machine] and [Enhancement Machine] entries... there's no need to rush it too much.
Because Haruhi Suzumiya had just given him a substitute.
Unlike some parents who say they're saving their children's New Year's money only to later explain that they used it all to pay for their tuition, Chen Li genuinely gave them the 1000 star stones.
"Can the thing inside really destroy the world?" Kyon asked, keeping his distance from Chen Li while curiously peering into the Holy Grail in Chen Li's hand.
“Theoretically speaking, yes, but unfortunately he met me.” Chen Li said as he raised the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail that Haruhi Suzumiya drew was overflowing with a black, sludge-like substance.
However, since the items were just extracted from the Star Sea Treasure and are temporarily sealed, these evils of this world are quite calm, merely maintaining a state of being about to overflow but not yet overflowing.
Unfortunately, because there are countless Holy Grails in the Type-Moon world, and there may be more than one Holy Grail possessing the evil of this world, Chen Li is still unsure whether the items in the Star Sea Treasure were copied or directly taken from elsewhere.
But what needs to be addressed most right now is the evil of this world.
"So what should we do now?"
“I have an ability to transform sinners into slimes capable of cleansing any filth. Theoretically, sending slimes into the evil of this world to cleanse the filth is a good solution. But that was a solution from three days ago. Now… just drink it.” Chen Li said, bringing the Holy Grail to his lips and tilting it slightly.
Chen Li's actions disrupted the balance maintained between the evil of this world and the Holy Grail, and the evil of this world began to flow into Chen Li's mouth continuously.
Chen Li wasn't sure if Angolan Mainyu's consciousness existed within this evil of the world, because even if it did, it would be digested by Chen Li's gourmet cells, and Chen Li wouldn't be able to sense it.
"Power is surging up." After stopping drinking the evil of this world, Chen Li clenched his fist and felt incredibly strong and powerful!
That's powerful!
The evils of this world are absolutely exquisite when they are considered delicacies.
Because normal people would never eat it, and given its superior quality, it increases attribute points by a huge amount.
It provides several times more attribute boosts than consuming the Divine Body Amber!
Although the evil of this world is certainly no match for the Guardian Star God, that's just how things are.
"But... why isn't there a Miracle Card?" Chen Li had originally thought that swallowing the evil of this world would grant him a Miracle Card, but seeing that there was no reaction from those around him, he was somewhat disappointed.
