Keosius's Secret Treasure (Part 2)
The Yuan-ti- woman walked over and said with a smile, "My esteemed guest, you are truly a chosen one of God of Fate. Would you like another one?"
The Flying Witch timidly clutched her staff, caught in a dilemma.
She shook the money bag on her body and found that she had exactly five Gold Coin left.
As a mage player, the consumption of various scrolls and spell materials is astronomical. She doesn't usually take on missions from the Magic Office, so even though she has the backing of a large guild like Magic Coin, it's difficult for her to save up money.
"I seem to have always been lucky."
"Maybe we can actually ship continuously?"
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Then give me one more."
Just as the waiter was about to send the Ogre to move the boxes, he heard the Flying Witch whisper, "This time... can I choose for myself?"
She wanted to vindicate her president and help her regain her dignity and stand up again— Charlotte's approach was correct!
The Yuan-ti- woman patiently replied, "Please go ahead."
The Flying Witch picked and chose on the shelves, then smiled sheepishly and pointed to a box.
Is this the one?
"Um."
Her hands trembled slightly as she handed the Gold Coin to the Yuan-ti.
The moment she handed over the money, the Flying Witch even felt a little regretful. After all, winning once was already incredibly lucky, and winning again would be a bit greedy. Moreover, the intense, expectant gazes around her made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Charlotte, watching all this from afar, simply lit a magical cigarette with practiced ease, put it in her mouth, and sat on the ground, smiling wearily, "Sigh, why bother?"
The metal box was slowly opened.
Hundreds of eyes were fixed on the box, and people held their breath.
"Can it be released again?"
"Surely no one actually won twice in a row!"
With a "whoosh" sound, the blinding blue light shone through the gap again.
"Whoa—"
The onlookers gasped in unison.
It's a double victory!
A cloak adorned with white feathers lay quietly in the cabinet.
[Winged Cloak]
Quality: Rare
Item Description: When wearing this cloak, you can utter the command "Fly like a bird!" This will transform the cloak into a pair of bird wings on your back, continuously shedding magical feathers during flight until all feathers fall off and the flight ends.
"You think I'm an angel? No, just a wretched old man who loves to travel!" — Albert, a travel magician temporarily residing on Mount Paradise.
Even the onlookers were bewildered. After a moment of silence, a huge uproar ensued.
"Holy crap? A miracle from a single pull?"
"Your family wholesales miracle products, right?"
"Suck, suck, suck!"
"Let me try my luck, I'm going all in too!"
Their gazes toward the Flying Witch were not only filled with envy, but also with profound respect.
This is more than just good luck; it's practically a blessing from heaven!
At this moment, in their eyes, the Flying Witch seemed to be surrounded by halos, with the words "Lucky Emperor" prominently displayed in gold lettering above her head.
Even Keosius was secretly observing, was astonished. After all, he hadn't put many good items in there. Even the rare equipment was just useless stuff he had carefully selected from his collection. Yet this player managed to draw two of them at once.
"How is that possible?"
Charlotte stared at the scene, completely dazed, the cigarette in her mouth falling to the ground.
The image of him first making a bold statement, then failing to get anything in twenty consecutive draws, and finally kneeling on the ground vomiting blood, played back in his mind like a revolving lantern, repeating itself again and again as soon as one play ended. The images around him seemed to have turned black and white.
The Flying Witch, still unaware of what was happening, came to his side with the cloak she had just received, looking quite excited.
"President, look!"
"I've proven it to you; you were right after all, the one you chose had the higher probability!"
Her words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, shattering Charlotte's last line of defense and leaving his heart broken into pieces.
"Huh?"
"President, what's wrong?"
"Wake up!"
Young people are great; they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
Charlotte could no longer hear what anyone was saying. Everything around her seemed like a silent black and white image to her, and the scene of her twenty consecutive defeats was still tormenting her brain over and over again.
"A miracle happened with a single pull!"
"Who says there are no Lucky Emperor in the world!"
"All in!"
"No child cries every day, no gambler loses every day! Brothers, let's go!"
"Put all your savings on the line, go all in!"
The Flying Witch's "Miracle Double Yolk Egg" has also sparked players' enthusiasm for opening boxes.
Following her example, a host of players rubbed their hands together and launched a massive all-in frenzy, vying to stuff Gold Coin into Keosius's pocket, hoping to become the next lucky winner.
During this period, players gradually obtained equipment, and each time a blue light appeared, it made everyone envious, which then attracted even more people to participate.
Surrounded by the guild members, the Overlord stroked his chin.
"How about we do a hundred consecutive pulls?"
"This box is a limited edition."
"Wait, President, let's not act rashly. Let's observe and wait before making a decision."
The major guilds also participated in the lottery, but they didn't invest too much money in it.
Initially, the guild leader of the [Royal Authority] guild, Overlord, wanted to spend a fortune to buy one hundred boxes as guild property, but was stopped by the vice guild leader, Feng Yun, who suggested that they check the drop rates of other people before making a decision.
After hundreds of openings and observations, as well as a series of calculations, Feng Yun suddenly realized that this box was a huge trap. The more you bought, the more you lost. The most cost-effective thing was to buy equipment from other people.
After all, casual players don't understand the value of high-level equipment, so simply showering them with Gold Coin is actually a profitable strategy, and you can even recruit them into your guild.
Finally, to everyone's disappointment, the Overlord only bought ten treasure chests to join in the fun, and got a green helmet, which was considered a break-even point.
Keosius noticed that the forum had become very lively.
"Epic Event! Server Shutdown Grand Lottery!"
Does anyone actually get lucky in this game?
"The Flying Witch's Miracle: Two Single Pulls Yield a Miracle!"
"Regarding the fact that I randomly opened a chest and got a rare greatsword."
"Ugh, how come I, a casual player just looking at the scenery, got a rare battle axe? I can't even lift it."
The Lucky Emperor player who pulled out the rare equipment was very proud and posted about it on the forum, which aroused the envy of many Unlucky Person in the comments section.
"Eat more good food, you're drawing cards to increase your lifespan, right?"
"European dogs, eat my spear!"
"I'm frantically inhaling—"
"The content caused strong discomfort and the event has already taken place."
"The Royal Authority Guild is offering high prices for rare equipment. Please contact them through the administration office."
They beat their chests and stomped their feet, complaining about why they weren't the winners, comforting themselves that it was just an accident, and secretly resolving to win next time, then showing their true colors on the forum.
"Hehe, that's right, players' competitive spirit is endless."
"Come on, obediently give me money—"
In the magnificent palace, Keosius browsed the forum with great interest, a sinister smile on his face, even his wings trembling slightly.
Terrified, Tinia, who was lying nearby, curled up into a ball, thinking that she had done something again to anger the powerful Red Dragon.
However, the thought of being crushed and brutally ravaged on the cold palace floor gave her a faint sense of anticipation, and she inexplicably became excited, her scales practically standing on end.
"Huh?"
"."
Only then did Keosius notice the excited expression on Tinia's face.
He stared at the White Dragon as if it were an idiot, his lips twitching slightly, thinking to himself that this silly dragon was probably already ruined and beyond saving.
