A Newbie's Day (2)

Looking at the sign in the distance that read "5 Gold Coin," Lonely as Snow frowned again.

Are you sure you can afford it?

"We don't have a single Gold Coin right now."

The Lucky Emperor, still feigning nonchalance, crossed his arms and laughed, "You think the officials didn't anticipate we were broke? They've already prepared a perfect procedure."

"Hehe, everything is within my calculations."

Lonely as Snow turned her head and saw that right next to the shop was "Kingdom Bank".

There was a sign hanging at the entrance listing many set meals, and inside, Yuan-ti receptionists were smiling kindly and gently promoting their services to them.

"Warriors, do you wish to receive His Your Majesty Keosius's favor, but are troubled by a lack of sufficient Gold Coin?"

"Kingdom Bank will help you realize your dream."

"For these aspiring newcomers, our bank proudly presents the [Newbie Dream Come True Fund]. With no conditions attached, you can obtain 5 Gold Coin from the bank to purchase a secret treasure, repayable in installments over twelve months, with a monthly interest rate of only five percent!"

The Lucky Emperor strode into the bank, about to speak, when he was stopped by Lonely as Snow.

He turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you crazy! Borrowing money to open chests right from the start? Do you really want to become a slave?!"

Lonely as Snow, whispered.

The Lucky Emperor chuckled, "You wouldn't believe it, would you? In this kind of game, the earlier you get good equipment, the more you earn and the more resources you can control. Later on, the value of Gold Coin will probably depreciate, so you can just pay it back then. Combat power is the best way to make money!"

"Besides, even if I can't pay it back, I can just commit suicide and find a new Respawn Point. The Embers of the Burned Kingdom can't reach other countries."

Lonely as Snow thought about it carefully and couldn't find any loopholes in his words.

Lucky Emperor a wave of his hand, the lucky man declared to the Yuan-ti receptionist with boundless enthusiasm, "I want ten Dream Fulfillment Funds!"

The Yuan-ti receptionist's expression immediately became much warmer, but she still gently reminded everyone, "This guest, the Dream Fulfillment Fund is limited to four units per person."

"Four servings then!"

"Okay, I'll write it down for you right away."

Soon, the name of the Lucky Emperor was recorded on a large Magic Scroll, and twenty gleaming Gold Coin appeared in his hand.

As he walked out, Miss Yuan-ti bowed with obvious delight, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Welcome to visit us again!"

The Lucky Emperor was extremely satisfied and smiled at Lonely as Snow was waiting outside, saying, "Why don't you come and give it a try?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lonely as Snow gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll have one."

The Lucky Emperor patted him on the shoulder. "Why are you so afraid to take risks, young man! If you're going to go all in, go all in big!"

"What if you don't sell the goods because you bought too few? Wouldn't that mean you've borrowed money for nothing? There are too many uncertainties!"

Lonely as Snow, shakes its head.

"That way, at least I can pay it back."

"Alright."

Soon, the two emerged from the bank with Gold Coin in their hands. The Lucky Emperor was in high spirits, while the Lonely as Snow somewhat uneasy, as if they had done something wrong.

A long queue had already formed in front of the shop, and they could only wait patiently.

Suddenly, a low, hoarse voice rang out.

"You're newcomers, aren't you?"

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw that the speaker was wearing a long robe and looked very young, only in his twenties, but he looked very weathered, like some overworked programmers.

Moreover, they couldn't see the nickname and rank above that person's head.

"Are you a veteran of the Internal Beta?"

"A high-level mage?"

The mysterious man nodded slightly and chuckled, "Heh heh, you mere newbies thinking you can try your luck by opening boxes? You'll regret it one day. Let me give you a piece of advice: this box is too deep; you won't be able to handle it."

This person is Charlotte, the guild leader of the renowned magic-based powerhouse [Magic Coin] guild, and a level five mage player.

This time, he returned to this nightmarish place not to open boxes and go all in, but simply to witness the myriad aspects of life and dispel the inner demons that had plagued him for months—commonly known as watching for entertainment, or gloating over the misfortunes of others.

The Lucky Emperor scoffed, "So what if you're a Internal Beta tester? My good buddy is a Internal Beta tester."

"I think you old man are just trying to mislead newbies so we can't get good equipment."

"It's time to go."

"If we don't leave now, someone will cut in line."

Lonely as Snow, whispered a reminder.

But he seemed to be thinking about something.

Charlotte watched the two figures walk away, a meaningful smile creeping onto her lips.

"Hehehe, pathetic newbies, it seems you don't know that the despair has only just begun. Face the Hell of the Unlucky Person with me."

In the group, Lonely as Snow looked around before whispering, "Was that guy crazy?"

"I don't know, maybe his dark complexion caused him to lose his mind. I heard that the guild leader of the mage clan almost fainted because he didn't get any loot. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

"I'm so lucky," said the Lucky Emperor who was standing on tiptoe, looking into the store.

The line ahead truly offers a glimpse into the diverse aspects of life.

Those who shipped their goods were overjoyed, while those who didn't were dejected, each with their own expression. However, the majority of them opened the boxes and found a pile of garbage.

Lonely as Snow couldn't help but say, "Damn, is this drop rate reliable? It seems a bit low."

The Lucky Emperor tried to remain calm. "Don't worry, those who haven't sold are probably old stuff. Our newbie protection period hasn't ended yet."

But his slightly trembling hands holding the gold, and the sweat beading on his forehead, betrayed the Lucky Emperor's nervousness.

"It does seem a bit different from what was said."

"No, I need to calm down. The goods will be shipped. I took out a loan for four boxes!"

Despite his gritted teeth, the Lucky Emperor finally convinced himself and followed the group with unwavering determination.

That's his confidence as a Lucky Emperor!

After the first few people left, some in high spirits and others in disappointment.

Finally, it was his turn.

The Lucky Emperor took a deep breath and said in a deep, powerful voice, "There was once a player named ' Flying Witch ' who created the miracle of Single Draw Double Gold Egg."

He pointed one finger to the sky, his posture quite domineering.

"And today—I will break this record and show you all what a miraculous quadruple win is all about!"

The onlookers all focused their attention on him.

"That guy's nickname is awesome!"

"Holy crap, could this guy really be the Lucky Emperor charm?"

"If a big four-game winning streak really happens, I'll record it to show off and post it on the forum later."

"Although I don't know what he's talking about, I think he's very confident."

"Where did this newbie get so much money? Did he take out a loan?"

Some players even sensed a business opportunity.

"The market has opened! The market has opened! Place your orders now, if you think he'll sell off his holdings."
