A Newbie's Day (3)

Under the watchful eyes of the players, the Lucky Emperor silently closed his eyes, muttered incantations, and bowed to all the gods he could name, including the Jade Emperor Tathagata Buddha, before taking a deep breath and slowly opening the box.

The player who opened the betting pool anxiously stood on tiptoe.

"Whoosh—"

A beam of white light shone from the metal box.

[Kobold Leather Pants]

Quality: No description: Unlike wild dogs, Kobold ' skin is covered only with scales, not fur, and they are often shivering from the cold. Therefore, Kobold with leather pants made of wild animal fur often look smug, and if you sniff closely, you can even detect a strange scent.

"Harmful--"

"Turns out he's Unlucky person."

"What's so interesting about this? It's just a pair of smelly leather pants."

Hearing the mocking voices around him, the Lucky Emperor flushed red. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Just you wait, I still have three chances. I refuse to believe I won't sell a single item!"

Amidst the crowd, the robed mage once again let out a sinister laugh.

Charlotte stared at the distant Lucky Emperor, his eyes beneath the hood seemingly harboring endless darkness. He muttered to himself, "Heh, poor child, this is just the beginning of Hell."

"Again!"

The Lucky Emperor was panting heavily, and large beads of sweat were already dripping from his forehead.

Another flash of white light appeared.

An incredibly foul stench emanated from the box, and several flies even flew over, drawn by the smell.

[The Kobold Butcher's Leather Mask]

Quality: No description: Kobold are not a clean race, they can even be described as filthy, but even they can't stand the stench of certain rotting meat, so a clever Kobold butcher invented a leather mask, though it looks like it's been in use for quite some time.

"How is that possible?"

The Lucky Emperor was struck dumb, standing frozen in place, his face turning ashen.

"Haha, this guy is so dark-skinned."

"Good heavens, these are the retinue of the Kobold God!"

Even Charlotte in the crowd had a hint of pity in her eyes, as if they were all in the same boat.

The pungent, fishy smell, along with the players' merciless mockery, lingered around the Lucky Emperor.

Instead of becoming despondent, his breathing became more rapid, his face turned increasingly red, and even veins bulged on his forehead.

"It's just one or two setbacks; it doesn't prove anything!"

"How could someone with Lucky Emperor lose!"

"My turn, open the chest!"

The Lucky Emperor slammed his fist on the box and shouted angrily.

A beam of white light shone through the new metal box once again.

[A failed hatching Kobold Egg]

Quality: No description: Kobold often put the eggs in warm, dry caves to incubate them. If the incubation fails, these nutritious eggs will become a good food reserve. They taste like chicken eggs, but have a strong fishy smell. Fortunately, they are plentiful and filling. However, any chef with a taste will not give this ingredient a second glance.

"No shipments yet! No shipments yet!"

The Lucky Emperor's face turned deathly pale. Under extreme emotional turmoil, his whole body trembled, and he began to speak incoherently.

"This guy is really pitiful."

"A disastrous start."

"A little gambling is harmless, but excessive gambling is harmful, and reckless gambling will lead to utter ruin!"

Even the onlookers felt sorry for him.

Newbie here, taking out a loan to open loot boxes, having terrible luck and not getting anything good.

It's like he's stacked up all the negative buffs. If he doesn't get anything from this last box, he'll face a disastrous start with huge debts and no money at all. He'll be crushed at the starting line with absolutely no chance of turning things around.

"There's only one box left."

The Lucky Emperor was panting heavily, sweat dripping down his face from his chin, but when he raised his head slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression revealed a fanaticism.

"No child cries every day, no gambler always loses. Watch me turn the tables in this desperate situation!"

"Unboxing!"

"Unpack!" the Lucky Emperor roared, his resounding words "Unpack!" filled with his determination to risk everything.

"Whoosh—"

Another white light shone through the gap in the metal box.

[The Kobold's Wooden Spear]

Quality: No description: As a species that proliferates like weeds, the Kobold often hunt in packs, and spears are their best weapon. However, they usually don't provoke those behemoths, since these crudely made things can't even pierce through fur.

"Bang."

The Lucky Emperor immediately knelt on the ground.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were empty, as if his soul had been captured.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

"I clearly had inside information."

Lonely as Snow gently patted the Lucky Emperor's shoulder, but his expression wasn't much better; his face seemed shrouded in gloom.

"This guy isn't just bad at the game—"

"You even dragged me into this mess—"

"I should have just followed the guide that S Da gave me."

Despite appearing calm on the surface, Lonely as Snow was inwardly on the verge of tears, filled with regret at the thought of starting the game with a debt of five Gold Coin.

Lonely as Snow had completely lost faith in the absurdly low drop rate, so she stepped forward with a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude.

"Well, since we're already here, let's try our luck."

"Maybe it was just a lucky coincidence."

"Hehe."

Lonely as Snow, casually opened the box.

"Whoosh—"

"Holy crap, it shipped!"

"My first blue-quality item since the server launched!"

"That's a true Lucky Emperor!"

Immediately, the crowd erupted in a frenzy, and the kneeling Lucky Emperor turned his head in disbelief, while even Charlotte, hiding in the shadows, stared wide-eyed.

A dazzling blue light shone through the gaps.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent and exquisite piece of armor lay quietly in the box, engraved with intricate runes, exuding a subtle air of ostentation.

The armor also features a emblem of intertwined flames and dragons on its chest, clearly the work of the Kingdom's Magic Department.

[Kingdom Adamantine Armor]

Quality: Rare

Description: This armor is crafted from adamantite, one of the hardest materials in existence. It is made of long, narrow iron bars riveted to a leather lining worn over a padded coat. Flexible chainmail protects the joints. When wearing this armor, low-level magic and ordinary blows will have difficulty harming you.

"Holy crap."

"They actually shipped it."

Lonely as Snow, stood still, not knowing what to do.

Miss Yuan-ti smiled and stepped forward to remind him, "What a lucky guest you are to receive such a favor. It seems His Majesty is very interested in you."

Lonely as Snow finally realized what was happening, and a look of wild joy spread across her face.

"Holy crap! I got a loot!"

Human joys and sorrows are never truly shared; the Lucky Emperor on Earth is left speechless with despair.

"I'm clearly the Lucky Emperor! I should be next!"
