Newbie Gift Pack

Under the guidance of the steward, Fan Lang arrived at a residential area. The houses here were much better than the kennels of the Registered Servants, each with its own separate courtyard.

The steward pointed ahead, letting Fan Lang choose a residence for himself.

Fan Lang moved closer, smiling as he asked, "The closer to the water, the sooner one sees the moon. I'd like to live closer to Miss Luo. This place isn't very good, can you change it for me?"

The steward's face darkened. He thought to himself that this young man was too shameless, actually fantasizing about getting his hands on the golden branch and jade leaf that was Miss Luo!

"This is where the retainers live. You can only choose your residence here," the steward said unpleasantly.

"If I can't get close to Miss Luo, then I'll just pick one at random. Monkey, you help me choose," Fan Lang said, losing interest.

Monkey was quite enthusiastic about this matter, going from house to house, helping Fan Lang choose the largest courtyard. Where Fan Lang lived, naturally, he would also live.

The hard days of the past were gone forever. The two of them no longer had to live in a small house the size of a palm, and their food, clothing, housing, and transportation would be greatly improved.

Standing in the spacious and bright room, Monkey was filled with emotion.

"I never thought that I, Hou Guangzu, would one day live in such a good house and become a steward in the City Lord's Mansion. Lang-ge, this is all thanks to you. I don't know what to say, you are really my benefactor..." Monkey said excitedly.

"Alright, alright, don't be so mushy, my goosebumps are almost rising. What's so exciting about a small steward? Follow me in the future, and I'll take you to see the world. At that time, you will find that this City Lord's Mansion is too small, even Wind Cloud City is too small," Fan Lang said dismissively.

"Lang-ge, you're really awesome. You weren't this powerful before, ah? Why did you suddenly change like a different person?"

"I suddenly had an epiphany recently, comprehended the true meaning of the Mystic Path, so I became so powerful."

"Epiphany? How did you have an epiphany? Teach me!"

"Simple, just hit the wall, and you'll have an epiphany as you hit it."

"Really?"

"Really!"

Fan Lang lied without batting an eye, causing Monkey to believe it. That night, he hit the wall more than a hundred times, but he didn't have an epiphany, instead, he bumped his head full of bumps.

While Monkey was hitting the wall, Fan Lang opened the system, pondering which part to operate on next. After looking around, his attention fell on the newbie gift pack.

This small icon was flashing, as alluring as a little slut, making it hard not to notice.

"The newbie gift pack contains experience points and money, but the amount is not much, it's useless to me. The only useful thing inside is a random card, which can randomly burst out one to three-star cards. If I'm lucky and burst out a three-star card, then I'll make a profit."

Fan Lang became interested in this random card and began to try to unlock the newbie gift pack by modifying it.

This unlocking involved a recharge part, and the difficulty of modification was a little more difficult than Fan Lang imagined. He buried himself in research for two hours before overcoming all the difficulties.

The icon of the newbie gift pack shone brightly, the package opened, and a series of things burst out from it.

[Player has unlocked the newbie gift pack, obtained experience points *1000, Silver 500, Iron Sword 1, Iron Armor 1, random Skill Card 1, can open up to 3-star Skill Card!]

Fan Lang finally opened the newbie gift pack. He didn't care about the miscellaneous things, the only thing he cared about was the random Skill Card.

The time to look at his face had arrived!

If his face was good, he would draw a three-star one, if his face was dark, he would draw a one or two-star one.

"Protagonist's halo blesses me, give me a three-star one!"

With a thought, Fan Lang clicked on the random Skill Card. The Skill Card rotated on its own, the question mark on the front flashed by.

Three stars! Three stars!

Not Nokia! Not iPhone! I want Samsung!

Fan Lang secretly exerted his strength.

The rotation speed of the card slowed down, until it stopped.

After seeing the pattern on the card clearly, Fan Lang's heart turned cold, he was practically suffering from internal injuries.

[Player has drawn a one-star Skill Card "Holy Light Be With You".]

Holy Light Be With You:

Category: Skill Card.

Star Rating: ★

Effect: Releases a ball of light, illuminating the darkness of the world. A one-time consumable, it will be scrapped after one use.

Mystic Force Consumption: 1 point.

"System, I fu*k your ancestors! You could have given me any card, but you gave me the worst card in the entire Magic Martial Era!"

Fan Lang went berserk, really wanting to drag the system out of his body and beat it up to vent his anger.

It took him two hours to get the newbie gift pack, but he opened the worst card, how could he not be angry?

Opening cards is a very luck-based thing. In the past, those Magic Martial Era players would do ten consecutive draws, a hundred consecutive draws, and some rich players would even do a thousand consecutive draws, throwing in a lot of money.

Some people with bad luck couldn't draw good cards, so they would scold the planners for being black-hearted, and complain about the odds being pitifully low. Fan Lang didn't know how many times he had been scolded in this regard.

Now it was his turn to draw a bad card, and he experienced the feelings of those players.

It can be said that good and evil are always rewarded, and the way of heaven is a cycle. If you don't believe it, look up, who does the heavens spare?

"Damn it, I knew I should have adjusted the odds higher when designing the game. Luck is not reliable at all. It seems that I have to study how to modify the card drawing function in the future to ensure that I can draw good cards every time."

Fan Lang secretly made up his mind.

There are many opportunities to draw cards in the Magic Martial Era, not just the newbie gift pack, and there will be times to test character in the future.

Nothing else happened that night. The next day dawned, the rooster crowed, and the hen laid eggs, awakening the sleeping people.

Fan Lang got up early, ate the most sumptuous breakfast since joining the City Lord's Mansion, and then went straight to the Library, intending to return the books he had borrowed before, and then borrow new ones.

He had reached the Mystic General realm and could learn more powerful skills. He had to keep up with the progress in this area, otherwise he couldn't guarantee his strength.

In terms of learning skills, at each realm, you can at most learn one star above your level.

Mystic Apprentices can learn up to two-star skills, Mystic Soldiers can learn up to three-star skills, and Mystic Generals can learn up to four-star skills, and so on.

Four-star skills are Fan Lang's current limit. Even if he was given a five-star skill, he wouldn't be able to learn it, unless he modified the system settings.

Fan Lang walked into the Library and met Old White head-on. When this old man saw Fan Lang coming in, his old eyes lit up.

This little look almost creeped Fan Lang out.

"These are the four books I borrowed before, all returned." Fan Lang took out four Secret Manuals and placed them on the table.

Old White glanced over, too lazy to carefully inspect these ordinary Secret Manuals. He placed his hand on the books and glared as he asked, "Fan Lang, tell me the truth, did you really learn these few Secret Manuals in just two days?"

"I already said it only took one day, why would it take two?" Fan Lang corrected.

"I still can't believe it, this is just too unbelievable."

"If you don't believe me, how about we try it out?"

"How do we try?"

"You lend me a few Secret Manuals for free, and see if I can learn them in a short amount of time. If I can learn them, it proves that I didn't lie to you!"

Fan Lang suggested with a smile. This suggestion wasn't to prove his credibility, but to get a few more Skill Cards.

Actually, it's no wonder Old White was skeptical. It's like someone saying a rooster laid an egg. It's obviously impossible, so no one would believe it.

Learning several Secret Manuals in one day is equivalent to a rooster laying an egg!

Old White was old, but his curiosity was as strong as a child's. He nodded and accepted Fan Lang's suggestion. He had the authority to lend a few books anyway.

"Let's go, I'll take you upstairs to choose Secret Manuals. You can pick whichever one you want!" Old White said, slapping the table.
