Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

Chapter 38: Lifespan: 2188
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After closing the door and downing a can of Coke that he took out from the fridge, Su Mo took out his phone and opened the Myriad Sword Sect’s group.

There was still no reply in the private chat, and the group chat was also blank.

“It looks like Guardian Xu is still busy. After all, the huge matter of a demon emperor’s invasion had just happened. Understandably, he’s a little busy. However, there are also no messages in the group chat… Don’t these sword saints pay much attention to the group? What about the pornography pictures?” Su Mo felt quite helpless.

This was pure sadness of not being able to appreciate beautiful things.

“Forget it, I’ll see if there are any messages after a while. Since I can take up so many Transcendent professions, if the sword saint group doesn’t work, I can just join another group. I don’t believe that all groups have no perverts,” Su Mo shook his head and put his phone down to charge.

He sat on the soft sofa and turned on the television. The television was playing “Universe Knight.”

“Oh, I’ve already watched this. Let’s draw the cards first,” He turned his attention to the panel.

Even though it was not the first time he had seen it, Su Mo’s heart was still filled with a faint sense of joy.

[Lifespan: 2188]

This could be said to be an unprecedented new record.

His lifespan was as long as 2000 years. He could live even longer than Peng Zu.

If this was a normal world without magic, this lifespan alone was enough for him to write a book with the title “The Two Thousand Years of the Tycoon God”.

Su Mo was dreaming of all the things he couldn’ve achieved, but he knew in his heart all of it was just a dream.

After all, if this was a world without Transcendents, he would not have been able to accumulate so much lifespan.

Based on prior observation and calculation, quite a huge part of the lifespan he had now had been earned by himself.

Previously, when he was trapped on the cliff and killed countless fox demons, he had successfully accumulated 1000 lifespan points.

After deducting the 300 that he had used up, he had earned more than 600 in one go, all earned by risking his life.

In addition, he had gained the newly awakened ability to burn professions and skills, thus allowing him to kill a few more level 3 fox demons in succession then.

Taking everything into account, his hard work could account for one-third of his lifespan gain this time.

The remaining two-thirds were naturally picked up from the battlefield for free.

In theory, what he had gained for free was considered very little.

Among the 300 fox monsters, most of them were at level 1 or level 2. There were also some at level 3.

If he could’ve harvested all of their lifespans, Su Mo conservatively estimated that he would be able to gain at least 3000 points.

This did not even include the three fox lords. Just the three fox lords alone would’ve probably provided a lifespan value of close to a thousand.

Su Mo shook his head, feeling a sense of regret.

However, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, the fox demons couldn’t possibly just stand there like puppets and wait for him to kill them. Unless he was as powerful as Guardian Xu, then perhaps he could rely on his absolute strength to harvest accurately.

However, level 6 was too far away, and level 2 was something he could reach now.

Su Mo took a deep breath and opened the card drawing interface.

Looking at the mysterious and boundless starry sky and glancing at the 2000-plus lifespan points in the upper right corner, he felt neither sorrow nor joy.

Minus the fixed 70 years of lifespan he had to keep as a base, he could use 2108 points.

If he drew ten consecutive draws every time, that would be a total of 2100 draws. At the very least, he would be able to draw 21 Transcendent professions and 210 transcendence skills.

The professions and skills that he had burned earlier probably amounted to less than 300 draws, but he had 2100 draws now, so maybe he could get them again.

However, since he also had the general conversion now, Su Mo decided not to take on all the professions he had obtained. The same went for the skills. He would only choose the best ones.

Perhaps some would say that even if he took up all the new professions, he could just burn them when facing his enemies in the future.

But the problem was that burn was the last resort. Rather than being forced into a corner by the enemy, it was better to greatly improve his main battle profession and kill the opponent in advance.

Su Mo made up his mind and immediately started to draw the lottery.

One after another, ten consecutive draws were performed.

Soon, he saw familiar skills, but also more unfamiliar skills.

He didn’t observe all of them as carefully as he did before. Instead, he continuously drew cards.

The purple light that filled the screen did not seem to be able to make him excited. It was only when the golden light appeared that he felt some anticipation.

When the result was confirmed, he anticipated the next golden light.

During this period of 2100 card draws, Su Mo felt the boredom of being rich for being rich.

It was no wonder that the moonlight clan and the free-riders would enjoy several times the happiness of the tycoons when buying in-game purchases.

For a rich person, even if one drew the wrong card now, one would ultimately be able to get what one wanted.

Since the results were certain, there was not much excitement about gambling.

He didn’t expect that he would also become someone who had lost his happiness.

This was only 2100 draws. If it was 21000, 210000, 2100000, …

It would probably take a few hours just to draw the lottery.

Just thinking about it made Su Mo’s scalp go numb.

However, that was a matter for the future. Who knew how many demons he had to kill to earn a few million?

He should focus on the present.

Finally, when the last golden light landed in front of Su Mo, the 2100 draws were all done and he had obtained a total of 24 gold.

On average, he had obtained one gold for every 90 draws. He couldn’t be considered so unlucky that he only obtained what was guaranteed.

The 24 Transcendent professions were all special professions that had all currently yet to break through to level 9. Originally, Su Mo was going to convert all these professions into cultivation EXP and add them to the sword saint profession.

Fortunately, he got the priest profession again this time and Su Mo decided to keep it. He had his eyes on the healing ability of the priest. After all, he couldn’t possibly team up with his companions all the time. What if he accidentally encountered a powerful monster when he was alone? At this time, it was very important to know how to treat it, very important.

At the very least, he would be able to heal himself and not die from a casual attack from the enemy.

In terms of profession, the upper limit of the priest profession could not be compared to the light mage profession, and its healing abilities were also not as terrifying as the light mage. Unfortunately, the light mage profession was not something that could be obtained just because one wanted to.

God knows how many Transcendent professions there were in this world. There might be many new professions in the card pool that had not been discovered by the world. Who knew how long he would have to wait to get the light mage profession?

A bird in the hand was worth ten in the forest.

Su Mo made a decision and started to add points to his two professions.

First, sword saint. He was already halfway through his level 1 EXP bar.

Su Mo threw in three more Transcendent profession-converted cultivation EXP, and golden light flashed in an instant.

He thus became a level 2 sword saint. At the same time, he also awakened a skill, the familiar sword energy slash.

At that moment, a large amount of cultivation comprehension appeared in Su Mo’s mind, and his body was strengthened in all aspects. It was more than twice as powerful as before.

“So this is level 2?” Feeling the berserk power within his body, Su Mo pulled open the drawer and took out a nail.

Looking at the nail, he bent it with his bare hands and kneaded it into a small iron ball.

“It seems that even without using any skills, a level 2 sword saint can easily beat ordinary people with just their physique. It won’t be like level 1 that is unable to widen the gap.”

After feeling it for a while, he continued to add points.

Apart from the priest profession, all remaining 20 Transcendent professions were converted into cultivation EXP and added to the sword saint profession.

The EXP bar of the sword saint profession immediately increased, surpassing one-third of level 2, and almost half of it.

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

“Then it’s time for the priest profession. In terms of healing ability, a level one priest can’t compare to a level two priest. It’s also time to improve the support profession.”
