Random Chests
Old Ma and his team lost this internal competition, so the offline event will be organized by Old Ma's team.
However, this kind of event, which involves the entire guild, takes a lot of time, so they scheduled it after the Mecha Tournament.
"We'll treat it as a victory celebration then!"
"You're... causing trouble! Planting flags like crazy!"
"I have to support you, I can't let you win too easily!"
"Get lost!"
Old Ma and the others had already achieved financial freedom thanks to their Future Guild.
Despite the large number of people at this event, it's just a tiny fraction of the total.
~~~
Two days later
Today marks the start of the Mecha Tournament, and countless Player have logged on early to prepare for this unprecedented event.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Mecha Tournament broadcast by Penguin TV! I'm your host, Tiantian!"
"Hello everyone, I'm your host Nianmi!"
The game's publisher attached great importance to this event, sending almost all of their top hosts.
They then broadcast the game through all available channels, and also received assistance from the game developers, allowing them to freely access the players' first, second, and third-person perspectives.
"Next up is the Individual Competition qualifying round. When the competition starts, the registered contestants will be teleported to the qualifying arena for their respective Mecha."
The selection rules for each type of Mecha are different, but the same principle applies: the top 100,000 will be selected today, and the top 10,000 will be decided Tiantian.
"Yes, oh! The contestants have entered the arena and they've gone into the waiting area."
We can see that magic-based Mecha mostly compete on damage output, while strength-based mechs mostly compete on their ability to withstand monster attacks! (Nianmi)
"Friends, I just received news that all the Light Element and Dark Element Mecha have been directly upgraded because there are less than 100,000 of them in total. Rare Mecha are really something else!" Tiantian.
"How enviable!"
While the two hosts were talking, Old Wang had already started slaughtering a sheep again.
He was also categorized as Light Element Mecha and was directly promoted.
Now he just needs to wait for the team selection competition in the afternoon. The team selection competition will be held two days later, after the top 10,000 teams and individuals are selected.
While watching the match, Old Wang searched for the Sand Sheep. Suddenly, a box appeared in front of him – this was the random treasure chest he could obtain by watching the event.
"The drop rate for this thing is pretty high!" Old Wang said, looking at the box in front of him, and then casually opened the random treasure chest.
He had no expectation that this thing would produce anything good, but a burst of golden light made him stop in his tracks.
"System notification: Heavenly Fortune! Player 'Thousand King' opened a random treasure chest and subsequently obtained the Legendary combat mount [Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Blueprint]."
Mechanical Tyrannosaurus (Legendary)
Durability:10000
Attack: 650
Defense: 60
Movement Speed: 500
Skills: Bite to Shreds, B1 Missile, Ultimate Energy Blast, Transform into Dinosaur Tank
Note: This is a brand-new concept intelligent mechanical flying car designed by integrating multiple advanced ideas... or perhaps Wyvern?
Old Wang stared at the Golden Glow blueprints and the attributes of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus in front of him, and fell silent for a moment.
"Am I that lucky? But what's the use of this thing?"
This Mechanical Tyrannosaurus is somewhat similar to Artificial Mecha. Even though it has 650 attack and 10,000 health, it's not actually that useful.
Old Wang couldn't possibly not use it in front of the Lord of the Elements to fight; it's just a means of transportation.
So, to put it simply, this thing isn't very useful; after all, it's just something similar to a Santana.
But this thing occupies the most important thing, which is handsomeness, and a very unconventional kind of handsomeness.
Humans are truly a very special species. We are the only species that, once our basic needs for food and clothing are met, will pursue spiritual fulfillment.
In other words, being strong is temporary, but being handsome is for a lifetime.
Imagine yourself driving this mechanical dinosaur to a very high-end party.
Even if other people have nice cars, they only need the hotel staff to stop them. But when you arrive and jump out of yours, you can tell the staff, "Stop the dinosaur for me!"
This is seriously high-class! Even though it sounds like you're a bit of a goofball, you're definitely the coolest kid tonight.
Well, this thing is really useless except for showing off. Old Wang doesn't know if he's lucky or unlucky.
While Old Wang was lost in deep self-doubt, the world chat channel exploded.
"It's him again! I told you he was a shill!"
Why not me?
"Why did I only get a Gold Crystal when I opened the chest, while others got Legendary items?"
Why didn't I even see the box?
"I saw it, I've been eliminated. The consolation prize has been awarded: a Rare piece of equipment!"
"Was he eliminated too?"
"You're dreaming! If he can be eliminated, what's the point of this game?"
"To be honest, this thing doesn't seem to be very useful!"
"How is it useless? Even if he made this thing, I still couldn't beat someone's mount!"
"You'd be even less likely to beat him if he didn't have a mount!"
Old Wang Lieutenant General's award caused quite a stir, but it was soon discovered that his award was indeed of little use.
However, this did not stop everyone from envying and being jealous of him. After all, the best items everyone could get were Rare equipment, and the sudden emergence of a Legendary was indeed quite overwhelming.
But just as they were lamenting, another system notification came one day:
"System notification: Heavenly Fortune! Player 'Kele'er's Bunny Baby' has opened a random treasure chest and obtained the Legendary item [Scare Box]."
The Scare Box
Consumables
Binding
Legendary
Effect: Grants a random effect upon use.
Cooldown time: 10 seconds
The release of yet another Legendary item has slightly shifted Player's attention.
Before the Player could fully process this, system notifications began to ring out one after another.
One by one, items and equipment appeared on the world channel, the best of which was a Legendary Equipment.
Elemental Orb
Legendary
Binding
Mecha of level 30 and above are available.
Attack +220
Strength +40
Agility +40
Intelligence +90
Skill attack power +10%
Cooldown Reduction +15%
Ignore defense +10%
There is a 5% chance to randomly inflict a negative attribute on an enemy when attacking them.
Elemental Impact: Deals 200% of attack power as elemental damage to enemies within a 500x500 area and silences them for 1 second.
Note: Feel the power of the elements!
This thing is a level 30 Intelligence- type Rare Mecha, Heavenly Thunder. After obtaining this equipment, he took off immediately.
This piece of equipment also caused a sensation throughout the game.
Then all the big shots started spamming the chat, and the world channel was finally no longer filled with envy and jealousy.
"Galaxy Guild is offering high prices for treasure chests!"
"Ten Thousand Miles Guild is offering a treasure chest!"
"Guild XX is offering a high price to buy..."
"..."
The world chat channel instantly shifted from exclamations to discussions about which guild or individual had collected more treasure chests.
If the items in the treasure chest weren't already bound to each other after being opened, they would definitely have just collected them.
Now they can only collect treasure chests, but treasure chests are really luck-based, and not everyone can handle them.
Moreover, due to competition, the price of this item has risen to tens of thousands of yuan and is still rising, making it something that ordinary people can't afford.
At the same time, because of this item, the enthusiasm of the crowd watching the game was unprecedented, after all, one of them costs more than 10,000 yuan!
However, the morning's individual qualifying rounds ended quickly, and they could only wait for the afternoon's matches.
"Shall we buy some of this stuff?" Old Ma asked in the Future Guild channel.
"Don't touch it!" Old Wang said.
"That's right! This thing has become pure gambling. If you get into it with a lucky mentality, it is possible to lose your entire family." Lin Qimeng.
"You're getting cocky! You want to play with this kind of thing!" Sister Hua said, then grabbed Old Ma by the Er Duo and went to give him a lecture.
When the members of the Future Guild witnessed this scene, some of the more insightful ones immediately realized that it was a performance put on for them by the big shots.
Old Ma, being so shrewd, couldn't possibly be unaware of these things; they were simply trying to remind everyone.
However, while the members of the Future Guild, other guilds may not be so lucky; this is definitely a change in the system.
