Chapter 118: A Record of the Saint's Card Pool Failure - The Hundred and First Chapter of Game Making...

The term "swapping pool" refers to the simultaneous launch of a limited-time gacha pool while a current gacha pool is still active.

This is a pay-to-win trap that forces players who have just exhausted their accumulated resources to spend money on card draws to obtain new event cards.

Yuan Yi was quite familiar with this.

However, playing games in the prehistoric world is not the same as playing games in one's previous life.

At least in "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Clouds," which is designed to align with the grand scheme of things, all of Chi Ziyuan's intentions are arranged according to the influence of real-world events.

Major game update: Dao Ancestor is revealed; Nuwa becomes a saint after creating humans, and a limited-time Nuwa pool is available; Houtu transforms into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches make their grand debut in limited-edition...

These events didn't happen at the same time, so players always had a long period of time to accumulate resources. Although due to the unpredictability of limited-time banners, most people still logged into the permanent banners early on, hoping to find their so-called destined match.

At least on the surface, the gacha system in "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Sky" is quite regular and extremely restrained.

However, in cases like the Three Pure Ones and two Western beings who have all become saints one after another, a pool should logically be arranged for them.

However, two pools were released at the same time: one for three characters and one for two, both featuring top-tier characters who had just achieved sainthood.

Hiss! Yuan Yi gasped, just imagining what a bloody storm would ensue.

Tongtian, standing to the side, naturally didn't understand the layers of concerns in Yuan Yi's heart. He only heard the keyword "a limited-time gacha pool of saints will be launched in 'Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Cloud'".

"Of course we should give it up!" Tongtian quickly raised both hands in support. Although he drew another gold card later, his main force in the game was still that guy Yuanshi.

Finally, there's a chance for the Three Pure Ones to be featured in the banner, so I have to hurry up and save up my summons to pull myself out of the pool and show off my prowess.

As for the two Western Saints, they are, after all, Heavenly Cards, and they just happened to be at the opportune moment of becoming Saints. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know when he'll have another chance to draw them, so he definitely can't miss it.

Tongtian was very shrewd in his mind, and he spared no effort in persuading Yuanyi to bring up the pools of the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Saints as soon as possible.

His mind was filled with the exhilarating feeling of having all the limited-time characters, and he had no idea how much chaos and bloodshed would ensue for the players of the game.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yi also received a message from the West:

[Guide: Fellow Daoist, I've heard that there's a merit-sharing system in the exclusive pool after becoming a Saint. I wonder how many points it contains?]

Are even saints so short of money now? Yuan Yi decisively shut down the chat system.

She stared at the towering structure before her and asked, "Do you really want to open both pools at the same time?"

"Of course, let's open it now! I've saved up a lot of draws!"

Even Yuan Yi could not resist the saints' sincere request, let alone the fact that this was a new rule for the card pool that the game had made public.

Moreover, while launching two gacha pools simultaneously might not be very player-friendly, her main character will receive a good dose of good fortune.

As for the potential ripples, they were nothing more than a few storms. Yuan Yi quickly drafted a plan for the follow-up arrangements.

"Then I'll release a preview first. Once Biyou Palace is completed, I'll launch a limited-time card pool and related events."

Tongtian was puzzled: "Can't we do it now? I've saved up enough draws." He couldn't wait to draw the cards.

Yuan Yi shook his head slightly and smiled in response.

Of course, we can't do something like this outside that would easily provoke public outrage. There are so many players in Biyou Palace, what if we get blocked?

Of course, when making games, you should go back to your happy hometown: Wuzhuang Temple.

At least Hongyun and her brother wouldn't harm this poor little ginseng fruit tree just because of the game.

They've already made so many plans just for the pool; if they fail to rescue anyone by the designated day, they'll probably be incredibly upset.

She's a very responsible friend; she couldn't bear to see Tongtian sad. She's definitely not the kind of person who doesn't want to be grabbed by Tongtian and forced to listen to his complaints about drawing cards (deleted).

Under the guidance of "game strategy master" Kong Xuan and with the concerted efforts of the "professional contractors" Jiejiao disciples, the Bixiao Palace theme park was quickly built to a respectable standard.

The once barren island is now filled with many gaming facilities, and even statues of game characters and flowers have been built.

On the fighting arena, the disciples of the Jie Sect, sweating profusely, were both cultivating and competing, while also cheering themselves on by looking at the leaderboard.

"Raise the bar by one point, and eliminate a thousand!"

"Surpass those hypocrites from the Chan Sect and let them see the true strength of the Jie Sect."

Often, as soon as these few words are spoken, the disciples of the Jie Sect who were already exhausted will get up from the ground as if they have been injected with chicken blood, and then carry out another round of intensive training with high morale.

Kong Xuan, who was serving as an assistant instructor of the Jie Sect for the first time, was extremely satisfied and increased the training volume of these eager-to-learn Jie Sect disciples by 30%.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Jie Sect, including Duobao, were completely unaware, focusing solely on increasing their training intensity to avoid falling behind their fellow disciples. Under the pitying gazes of Dapeng and Lu Ya, they gradually became exhausted and lost in their own world.

They didn't even have the energy to log in to "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Clouds", and directly missed the two saint-themed limited card pools, "Three Pure Ones Discussing the Dao" and "Western Buddhist Kingdom".

However, considering the extremely low drop rate of this gacha pool, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse...

The first victim (crossed out) of the new card pool was the Primordial Sage, who resided atop Mount Kunlun.

After all, the profits from the game cards still need to be shared with these newly appointed saints, so Yuan Yi naturally communicated with them one by one before the game went live.

Of course, this is equivalent to gaining merit for free, so naturally no one would refuse. The two Western saints even proposed to have their limited pool permanently available.

Of course, when faced with the heartbreaking pleas of Jieyin and Zhunti, who pleaded that "the West is remote" and "even as a sage, I have no virtue left," Yuanyi naturally rejected this unreasonable request without hesitation.

What are you thinking? The spiritual veins of the West weren't destroyed this time. How poor can they get? Besides, you two have become saints and you still keep complaining about being poor. What about a ginseng fruit tree like her with shallow cultivation?

Since Yuan Yi is the creditor and has the backing of the Dao Ancestor, he doesn't hesitate to refuse without any fear, as he's just following the rules.

The new version of "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Clouds" is now online, featuring the arrival of sages. Many sage cards are available for you to draw. Want to hear the sages' teachings? What are you waiting for? Select your favorite sage and draw them!

The announcement shocked the world. This was a limited-time appearance by a saint; the last time the saint Nuwa suddenly appeared, it caught them completely off guard.

Now that the game has already released announcements in advance, what are we waiting for? Just start saving up! Save up and spend money as you go, and try to get all the daily draws you can.

In this respect, Yuanshi, being a sage, naturally has an advantage over other players.

Not only did I learn about the gacha pool's release in advance, but more importantly, the spending cap increased after becoming a Saint.

Of course, this spiritual power is nothing to a sage; it's just a matter of making Huangzhongli grow a few more leaves.

After learning about this, Yuan Shi started logging in regularly every day, checking in, spending money, accumulating summoning points, and occasionally triggering a few unexpected events to add a bit of fun to his peaceful gaming life.

I've now accumulated over 4,000 draws, and the day has finally arrived for the new version and the limited-time pool to be released.

Without a second thought, he slid straight to the pool of the Three Pure Ones' Discussion, his gaze lingering only for a moment on the face of the current main force, Tongtian, before letting out a sneer.

It's best to stick with your own card design.

If Tongtian hadn't taken a spot, the two Yuanshi would have long ago built their worlds perfectly, without a single flaw.

Thinking this, Yuan Shi then unhesitatingly performed a hundred consecutive draws from the pool.

Blue, blue, purple, purple, white, blue, purple...

[Congratulations to player Jade Fairy for drawing the Primordial Sage card! May the whole world rejoice!]

Yuanshi paused in his action of entering the pool. Very good, his throwing down more than a thousand strokes had not caused any ripples at all.

No rush, there are still over three thousand draws left. Follow the will of Heaven, and you will receive them naturally.

Yuanshi calmed himself down and drew again.

[Congratulations player... You have drawn the Sage of Heaven...]

I only did 500 pulls, now I'll try again!

[Congratulations to the player... for drawing the Sage of Taiqing...]

continue.

Yuan Shi's gaze was no longer as relaxed as when he first entered the pool; he stared intently at the identical face in the card pool.

Whether from the perspective of divination, compatibility, or innate intuition, now that he has accumulated so many draws and is caught in the gacha banner, it's bound to be his turn to get this card art.

Yuanshi Tianzhe consulted the heavens and received this auspicious sign of perfect serendipity.

So why not release it? Yuan Shi's fingertips lightly flicked across the card, but his words carried an undeniable command: "It's time to release it."

Extract!

If you don't believe me, try again.

…………

As the last draw was exhausted, Yuan Shi's expression grew increasingly somber, and the corners of Feng Dan's eyes, which had been pointing upwards, drooped slightly. Dark clouds gathered over Kunlun Mountain.

Anyone could imagine that the sage on Mount Kunlun was in a bad mood.

Yuanshi let out a long breath, thinking to himself, "What I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate; it is all ordained by heaven."

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.

With a quick pinch of his fingers, he could see that the gacha pool clearly indicated his destiny, that their fate had brought them together. However, the fact that thousands of draws had been wasted was blatantly obvious, which only worsened Yuan Shi's mood.

"That's all there is to it." Yuan Shi closed the card pool.

It's just a game. How can the original cards in the game, which came out tens of thousands of years ago, compare to him, a saint?

If you can't draw it, you can't draw it. Would Yuan Shi really bow down to a gacha pool?

That's what he said, but Yuan Shi still couldn't help but open the chat interface, wanting to have a good chat with a certain friend.

But then I saw the tag "Little Friend is in seclusion," and I realized that it would be too shameless for a saint like myself to bother a friend over a game.

So he gave up and instead went to a game forum that he hadn't visited in hundreds of years.

As expected, the forum was filled with comments about this gacha banner, with the most upvoted comment being: "The drop rate for the Three Pure Ones banner is just too low!"

"Yes, I completely agree." Yuanshi nodded slightly and casually gave the post a thumbs up.

The next second, the hashtag "praised by the Jade Purity Sage" dominated the entire forum.

-----------------------

Author's Note: Tongtian: Create more banners so the whole server can pity me! As a saint, I'm sure I'll pull the card! [Go for it!]

Yuanshi: ?? I haven't logged into this forum for thousands of years, what new features has it added this time? [Lemon]

Jieyin and Zhunti: Fellow Daoist, could you please contribute more to our pool? This humble monk is a little short on funds. [Hands clasped in prayer]
