As the day of the battle approached, Aric Lei knew he needed to bolster his strength even further. Despite his efforts to diminish Jarod\'s luck by 40%, he found himself with only 5000 Villain Points. Determined to enhance his power, Aric decided to test his luck with the system\'s lottery.
"System, give me some low-level lotteries," Aric commanded, his voice laced with anticipation.
[Ding! Host has purchased 5 low-level lotteries.]
Aric\'s gaze was fixed on the shimmering lottery tickets as he prepared himself for the gamble. With a deep breath, he opened the first lottery.
[Lottery Result: "Better luck next time."]
"Stupid system," Aric grumbled, his frustration evident. "At least give me something useful."
Undeterred, he opened the second lottery. This time, the result was far from what he had hoped.
[Lottery Result: "A dildo."]
Aric stared at the item in disbelief. "What the hell! I don\'t even need this. I have my own." He tossed it aside, a mix of disappointment and amusement playing across his features. Despite this, he still had three attempts left and hoped for better outcomes.
He opened the third lottery, hoping for something of greater value.
[Lottery Result: "A Big Box of Condoms."]
"Naughty system. I know you know me, but give me something powerful," Aric said with a hint of annoyance.
[Ding! Host, this will help you prevent babies.]
"Oh, I love babies," Aric retorted sarcastically, his frustration mounting.
Aric clenched his jaw but remained resolute. He had two more lotteries left and hoped they would yield something of real worth. He opened the fourth lottery, and his expression shifted from frustration to intrigue.
[Lottery Result: "Celibacy Curse Pill."]
Aric examined the small, dark pill that radiated a faint, ominous aura. Its name was inscribed in tiny runes: "The Celibacy Curse Pill." Initially, he felt a pang of disappointment, but a sinister smile soon spread across his face.
"This is it," Aric thought, his mind racing. "How can Jarod enjoy the beauties of the world when I am around? It\'s time for him to lose his manhood."
Aric slipped the pill into his robe, his eyes gleaming with malicious intent. He could already envision the impact this would have on Jarod. The thought of his brother being rendered impotent filled him with dark satisfaction.
With one last lottery remaining, Aric opened it with a blend of hope and desperation. As the light from the lottery enveloped him, he saw a powerful talisman materialize in his hands. The object was a rectangular piece of otherworldly metal, etched with runes that crackled with tiny bolts of lightning.
[Lottery Result: "Thunderstrike Talisman."]
[Ding! Host has obtained the Thunderstrike Talisman.]
Aric\'s eyes lit up with excitement as he examined the talisman. It was intricately designed, glowing with an intense, mystical energy. The Thunderstrike Talisman was a rectangular piece of metal about the size of Aric\'s palm. Its surface was covered with ancient runes that danced with lightning energy.
The talisman was said to amplify the user\'s attacks by channeling and focusing electrical energy, adding a potent electrical charge to each strike.
"This is exactly what I needed," Aric said, admiring the talisman. "With this, my attacks will be devastating."
Aric\'s mind was a whirlwind of strategy and calculation. He was determined to leave nothing to chance in his quest for dominance. The acquisition of the Celibacy Curse Pill and the Thunderstrike Talisman were crucial components of his plan to neutralize Jarod and secure his victory.
Aric\'s mentality was focused on the psychological and physical warfare he intended to wage against his brother. He knew that psychological warfare was just as important as physical strength. By undermining Jarod\'s confidence and sabotaging his abilities, Aric aimed to ensure his ultimate triumph.
To execute his plan, Aric needed to be meticulous. He arranged for Lin, who was a maid at Jarod\'s mansion, to discreetly administer the Celibacy Curse Pill to Jarod. Lin was skilled in her craft and understood the importance of secrecy.
Lin along with all other staff of Jarod\'s Villa had been mind controlled by Aric. They were loyal to Aric.
Aric summoned Lin to his private chamber, where he handed her the pill.
"Lin, I have a delicate task for you," Aric said, his tone serious. "This is the Celibacy Curse Pill. I need you to find a way to slip this into Jarod\'s food or drink. It must be done without raising any suspicion."
Lin took the pill, her eyes narrowing as she examined it. "Understood, young master. I\'ll handle it with utmost discretion. But what if Jarod suspects something?"
Aric\'s eyes gleamed with cold resolve. "Ensure that it\'s added to something he consumes regularly, so it appears to be a normal part of his routine. The last thing we need is for him to question anything out of the ordinary."
"I will make sure of it," Lin assured him, bowing before leaving to carry out the task.
With the Celibacy Curse Pill set in motion and the Thunderstrike Talisman now in his possession, Aric turned his attention to preparing for the battle. He knew that having the talisman would greatly enhance his offensive capabilities, making him a formidable opponent.
He spent the days leading up to the battle refining his techniques, focusing on mastering the Tengzhi Fusion Fist and harnessing the full power of his Eclipsing Shadow Blade. The Thunderstrike Talisman would be a game-changer in his attacks, and Aric wanted to ensure he could use it to its fullest potential.
