I looked at the voucher in my hand silently.

Letting out a soft snort of laughter, I was successfully pissed off to the point of laughing.

I didn't expect it; I really didn't.

This blasted system even dared to put a discount voucher into the prize pool!

You're such a big system, but you're so stingy!!

Is this reasonable? Isn't it outrageous?

At this point, I didn't know if Jackson's words were more despicable or if the system was more despicable.

Thinking about it another way, Jackson was also part of the system, so it was the system that was despicable.

Life is like a box of chocolates; there are surprises everywhere.

"This is a surprise that life can't bear."

I looked at my hand, almost in tears: "My luck is too terrible. I worked so hard to complete the missions, but all I got was a discount voucher."

It's a Lamborghini voucher; you're one step closer to a Lamborghini.

I was speechless: "One step closer, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps left."

Five dollars couldn't even buy a fraction of a single Lamborghini tire!

I kept the "Lamborghini $5 discount voucher.".

Forget it; something that involves the system, like "the right to know everything," would certainly not be easy to draw.

Besides, Jackson had said there were good and bad things in the pool, and I was responsible for the result.

If I had to blame someone, I could only blame my luck.

It was truly, truly horrible.

"I won't cry too long, probably just one or two months."

It's alright; there are other chances. There are a bunch of other missions waiting for you; you'll be alright once you save up some mission points.

I calmed down and collected my thoughts.

That's right; there's always next time.

Good luck comes after misfortune; what if I get something good next time?

People had to have dreams in life; what if they got lucky and accomplished them?

After I calmed myself down, I opened the bag again; it was empty.

I tipped it upside down and shook it strongly.

Aside from air, nothing else came out.

So I asked curiously, "How did you guys manage to put the prize into my bag, as if by magic?"

It's mysterious, isn't it?

"It is."

Since it's mysterious, then you shouldn't be curious.

(¬_¬ )

Alright, alright, it was another secret of the system's.

I won't ask.

I was a person with limits.

Stuff that I couldn't be curious about, I would immediately put away my curiosity and do something else.

I went to lie on my bed, pulling on my blanket and wrapping myself in it.

The days were getting colder, and snow had fallen.
