"Actually, what you got is at least useful. You weren't here earlier, but some people spent a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins and got Sky Tree fruit, which isn't all that useful. Compared with them, you've done pretty well."
"That's true."
This time, Yan had more or less calmed down.
Lin Xiao was right. Compared with those people, he hadn't had it that bad, had he?
But on second thought, something felt off. Shouldn't they be comparing who got the better items?
"Now that you've figured it out, do you still want to open another? Like you said, you've already primed your luck with three jars. Surely the fourth will give you what you want?"
Lin Xiao's words were once again full of temptation.
Hearing that, Yan wavered.
Lin Xiao's words lined up perfectly with what he was thinking.
According to the pity system, after so many warm-up attempts, he was bound to get something good!
But he really was out of money.
"I'll hold off for now. I can only open ten jars in seven days anyway, so I still have time."
Yan shook his head.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao smiled faintly and didn't press him. "I look forward to your next visit."
"I'll be back."
Yan solemnly left him with those words, then departed under Lin Xiao's gaze.
"Ah, what a shame. Yan's luck really wasn't up to scratch. I thought he might get something good and draw more people in to open jars."
Lin Xiao sighed and closed the shop door.
Business was officially over for the day.
"Still, this isn't bad. I sold exactly twenty jars today, enough for two sets of doubles. Let's see what I can get."
With that thought, Lin Xiao silently said, Claim.
The next instant.
Twenty jars appeared in neat rows on the counter.
They were the same size as the Lucky Magic Jars he sold, but their color was different: gold.
Jars with a tenfold drop rate should at least give me something good, right?
Brimming with anticipation, Lin Xiao picked up the Lucky Magic Hammer from the table.
Crack.
The first jar shattered, and a flash of purple light filled Lin Xiao's vision.
"A rare item already?"
"If Yan saw me get a rare item from my very first jar, he'd probably be so frustrated he'd want to cough up blood."
Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile and looked over.
Inside the jar lay a small scroll.
Item: [Level-Up Ticket] Rarity: [Rare] Type: [Untradable] Description: [Character level increases have been converted into soul power level increases.] Effect: [Increases soul power by one level upon use.]
"Gasp..."
"A Level-Up Ticket? You can even get these?"
"As expected of a tenfold-rate jar. One Level-Up Ticket is worth ten Experience Capsules. If those Soul Masters outside saw this, they'd probably go crazy opening jars!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, then couldn't help grumbling, "What a shame. What use is something everyone else would fight tooth and nail over to me? I haven't even awakened my Martial Soul yet..."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao casually tossed aside the Level-Up Ticket that would make countless Soul Masters green with envy, his face full of disdain, then raised the hammer and smashed the second jar.
When another burst of purple light erupted, Lin Xiao froze.
"A rare item with every swing? These jars really do have a tenfold drop rate?!"
"That's way too generous."
However.
When he saw the item clearly, his expression abruptly changed.
"Fuck, another Level-Up Ticket? Are these things that easy to get?"
"Could you give me something different? Forget an epic; an artifact wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?"
Truth be told, Lin Xiao really wanted to see what would happen when artifact, legendary, epic, and other equipment from Dungeon City appeared on the Douluo Continent.
How would they stack up against the so-called divine equipment?
Elsewhere.
Yan didn't even know how he had made it back to his quarters in Spirit Hall.
All he could think about was how three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins had bought him nothing but a chance to dress as a woman.
He found that hard to accept.
Even if he had to transform, turning into a man would have been fine!
What a cruel twist of fate!
"Yan, what were you doing? Why did you only just get back?"
The voice that suddenly came from behind startled Yan.
He hurriedly turned around and discovered Hu Liena and Xie Yue standing side by side a short distance behind him.
"N-nothing. I just went out for a walk."
Yan made up an excuse at random.
"Hehe, Yan, you went to open jars, didn't you? Why didn't you invite us along for something so interesting? Even if we didn't open any, we could still broaden our horizons!"
A sly glint flashed in Hu Liena's eyes. One look at Yan's guilty, thief-caught-in-the-act expression told her he was lying.
She was absolutely certain he had gone to open jars.
"What did you get? Is that thing in your hand the treasure you found?"
Xie Yue also noticed the object clenched tightly in Yan's hand. He instinctively frowned.
He could vaguely sense what seemed to be a mysterious power within it.
"Ah..."
Yan's gaze shifted back and forth before he finally let out a helpless sigh.
At this point, there was no reason to hide it anymore.
"I opened three jars, but didn't get anything good. Two bottles of Magic Juice, and this..."
As Yan spoke, he held out his hand and slowly opened it, revealing the crystal ball in his palm to Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
"Wow... it's so pretty."
Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and her little mouth fell wide open.
Sure enough... women really do judge everything by its looks... Yan shook his head helplessly.
Xie Yue's eyes were also filled with curiosity. "Everything that shop produces is quality merchandise. This item must have some special effect, right?"
"It does have a rather special function."
At Xie Yue's words, a bitter smile appeared on Yan's lips. "This item is called the Lie Yan Pinoch COS Costume. Once I use it, I can transform into her appearance... and fight."
What?
It could transform him?
Hearing this, both Hu Liena and Xie Yue froze.
They had been shocked once again.
"It's not unusual for Soul Masters to transform, but I've never seen one turn into something other than their own Martial Soul... If that's true, it's incredible!"
"Besides, what is Lie Yan Pinoch? A Soul Beast?"
Hu Liena's face filled with excitement and anticipation as she spoke.
Xie Yue also voiced his thoughts simply. "I want to see it too."
Yan looked troubled. "Let's forget it. It's a woman, after all."
"Wouldn't turning from a man into a woman be even more impressive?"
"Isn't that humiliating?"
Hu Liena's pretty face darkened. "I think you're taking a jab at something! Hurry up, Yan. If you don't transform, I'll be upset. Besides, aren't you curious what abilities something you got for a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins has?"
"Uh, well... of course I'm curious."
Yan's expression shifted several times before he finally gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll transform and show you. But... you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I really won't be able to show my face again!"
In truth, Yan had originally planned to find somewhere deserted to use the COS Costume and see what was special about the transformation.
