Chapter 45: The Miracle Maker

“By the way, I still have one more lottery draw left.”

He had earned an extra chance from killing the Golden Tiger Lion but hadn’t used it yesterday because he was helping Shangguan Ruoyun. Now, he decided to open the lottery.

The screen displayed the familiar lottery interface; only Qin Chuan himself could see anything, while others saw nothing.

This time, the lottery looked different. Ten packages appeared in total, each shimmering with a bronze glow. Judging by their quality, these packages were much better than the ones before.

Qin Chuan casually picked one package.

[Congratulations on obtaining a three-star weapon: Tiger-Slaying Sword.]

Ah, a weapon.

To him, this was rather useless.

Although Qin Chuan hadn’t yet acquired his magical treasure, he still felt he was more suited to using a spear.

He tossed the sword into his spatial ring casually, planning to use it if the need arose.

Shangguan Ruoyun was still absorbing the energy within her body, so Qin Chuan once more turned his attention to the lake.

If he couldn’t find any resources in the lake today, he would leave this place.

“Take good care of Sister Shangguan.”

Qin Chuan instructed before heading to the opposite shore of the lake. He intended to dive in from there and see if he could find anything.

He had already searched most other areas; only this remained.

He noticed the water here was shallower, but otherwise, there was little difference.

With a splash, Qin Chuan plunged into the lake and swam down toward the bottom.

Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters... one hundred meters...

Time passed quietly as he reached the lakebed again. The bottom was surprisingly clean—no fish, not even a single shell.

“How can it be so clean?”

Qin Chuan was puzzled and began to investigate around.

Suddenly, he spotted something.

“What’s that? Looks like light again.”

Curious, he swam toward it, thinking it might be another glowing pearl or something similar.

“Qin Chuan’s going under the lake again. Sigh, he still won’t give up.”

“He’s been here for two days already and still refuses to lose hope?”

“This is getting boring. Shangguan Ruoyun is still waiting on shore; looks like they won’t leave today.”

“That’s fine, as long as there’s no danger.”

“Look, Qin Chuan found light under the lake again.”

“Probably the same pearls as before.”

“These things are worthless in this forbidden zone. But on the Jiuzhou planet, even one of these would be priceless.”

Everyone followed Qin Chuan’s live broadcast, swimming toward the source of the light. Soon, they realized the glowing spot was peculiar—there was nothing there, just a patch of water.

A strange thought crossed their minds, as if water appeared within water itself.

“What is this?” countless people were curious, eager to see what it was.

Qin Chuan, sharing their curiosity, quickly swam over.

Upon arrival, he realized this area resembled a monster’s lair. This reminded him of the Razor Shark he had encountered earlier; this must be that creature’s nest.

“This is...”

The glowing spot before him radiated a bluish light, about the size of a basin. The eerie glow was truly peculiar.

Qin Chuan reached out his hand.

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

[Five-star water resource, available for occupation.]

Qin Chuan’s eyes widened—this was a five-star resource!

Then he considered that this water resource lay deep underwater, several hundred meters below the surface, and was extremely concealed.

Only because he could hold his breath so long underwater could he reach it; for anyone else, it would be impossible.

So, a five-star water resource wasn’t so surprising after all.

This voice transmission was heard by everyone watching the live broadcast.

Everyone was stunned, speechless.

The chat froze for a moment.

What had they just heard?

Five stars!

A five-star water resource!

This was water—the source of life. One might survive without food, but never without water.

And here it was, a five-star resource all at once.

No one had anticipated such a result, so every person was utterly amazed.

Soon, the entire live broadcast chat erupted in uproar.

“At this moment, I want to compose a poem, but my culture is limited, so I can only say: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! To express my excitement!”

“Qin Chuan, I’m sorry for blaming you earlier for wasting time in the lake. That fool was me! I almost missed witnessing the discovery of a five-star water resource.”

“When all of us gave up hope, Qin Chuan persisted! When we abandoned him, he kept going! When we doubted him, he still persevered! Qin Chuan, keep your faith. Don’t mind what others think—I will always believe you’re right.”

“Persistence brings miracles; this perfectly proves it. Qin Chuan is forever a creator of miracles!”

“Qin Chuan, you’re awesome!”

“Words pale in comparison. At this moment, your actions prove your intuition was absolutely right.”

The online community from Yanhuang was ecstatic, while foreign viewers were frustrated.

“No! No! No way! No way! No way!!!”

“How can this be? It’s so unfair! Qin Chuan is a freak, a monster, not human but a demon. How could anyone hold their breath underwater for so long?”

“I refuse to accept this. Why does Yanhuang get such an abnormal lucky person while our lucky ones are just ordinary? Why, why?”

“Qin Chuan is too unfair to our lucky ones. We demand fairness!”

Facing the anger of foreign viewers, Yanhuang netizens felt an inexplicable thrill.

“Calm down, calm down, it’s just a five-star reward. No need to get so upset.”

“Your lucky ones are strong; they just had bad luck. Seriously, I give four stars!”

“Qin Chuan just got lucky; he’s a brat. Why do you care so much?”

“Your lucky ones can’t even compare to one of our country’s brats. What more can I say?”

Yanhuang netizens’ replies infuriated many foreigners to the point of spitting blood. It wasn’t so much physically hurtful as deeply insulting.

They even compared ages... implying that the lucky ones in other countries were all useless!

Moreover, most lucky ones in many countries had yet to obtain even a one-star resource.

Yang Zhengyi from the National Security Bureau, watching the live broadcast when the five-star resource appeared, couldn’t help but say, “Well done!”

Indeed, well done!

When no one else held hope, only he persisted.

Persistence creates miracles.

Qin Chuan was undeniably a miracle maker.

Yang Zhengyi, as the esteemed director of the National Security Bureau, shouldn’t have been so excited, yet he couldn’t help it. If Qin Chuan were in front of him, he would surely pick him up and plant two big kisses on his little face.

This little guy had truly amazed him.
