Chapter 50: The Fiftieth Day of the Unrefusable Ten-Pull Game Making Event...
Ten pulls for one point, a stroke of luck is hard to come by. If you're lucky, you might get two gold cards. If you're unlucky, you'll be as unlucky as Africa. Blue skies and white clouds are commonplace. Gacha pulls are a matter of fate, success depends on your own efforts. Remember, remember, don't get carried away.
Kong Xuan drew a card for the first time, and the fate of this encounter was determined by the intertwining of the Five Elements Formation. All that could be seen was a blue sky and white clouds.
[Experience Pack *5, Breeze Charm *1, Recovery Potion *3.]
The forced effect of guaranteeing a character in the last draw finally took hold.
A purple light flashed, and a white ray of light broke free from the formation.
A Taoist priest, dressed in blue and red robes, walked out with a blank expression, carrying a lamp. The dazzling light emanated from the lamp.
Dika, the Taoist Ran Deng [Ran Deng Gui Lu].
Skill, [Lighting the Lamp to Command the Gods]: Within the range of the lamp's illumination, three summoned creatures of a lower level than the cardholder can be summoned and commanded by the cardholder.
The golden bird is said to be lucky; even if it's a guaranteed drop, it'll still be a top-tier card from the Purple Cloud Palace's Three Thousand Guests. Although Burning Lamp isn't very famous in the current prehistoric world, he's still someone you can hear about at Purple Cloud Palace, so getting him is worthwhile.
Kong Xuan's smile stretched to the heavens; out of three thousand cards, there were only fifty earth cards, and now he had gotten the guaranteed ten-pull.
Kong Xuan excitedly took his newly acquired card and went off to explore again. Unfortunately, without upgrade materials, the new card was level 0, even more fragile than Kong Xuan, and in a moment of carelessness, the two of them were wiped out.
Kong Xuan disagreed: "You must have overestimated the limitations of the Earth Card skill. Let me try another method."
This time, instead of placing all his hopes on the card, he chose to use the Five Elements Origin to temporarily enhance the power of Burning Lamp, making his three summoned creatures stronger as well.
Outnumbered, they were wiped out once again.
Kong Xuan: "The three summoned creatures can only stay next to the lamp, and they will also attract the attention of the Chaos Beast. Once they go out, they will definitely be torn to pieces by the beast."
"One more time."
This time, Kong Xuan chose to use the burning lamp to attract attention and lure away the chaotic beasts. He then set up a defensive formation next to the Chaotic Green Lotus, using sneak attacks and counterattacks to inflict some damage on the attackers.
Unfortunately, the low-level Taoist Ran Deng soon returned to the resurrection point with his three summoned creatures, and the counter-damage caused by the formation was quickly broken by the ferocious beasts.
Kong Xuan clenched his fist: "Again!"
"Try again!"
"Come!"
"..."
After countless failures, even the seemingly insignificant Daoist Ran Deng looked weary. Only Kong Xuan continued to scribble and revise his notes, devising new schemes whenever one failed. Since there were respawn points in the game, his delaying tactics prevented the ferocious beast from actually biting the Chaos Lotus.
As long as he gathers enough information and perseveres, he will eventually find a way to break the deadlock. For example, the fastest flying chaotic beast, which resembles a bird, likes to gather in groups, and its weakness is its eyes. Even if he, at a low level, flashes the eyes of a bird with his five-colored divine light, the entire flock of birds will chase and attack him.
There was also that ferocious beast that looked like a bear but had six eyes and two heads. Whenever he and Ran Deng charged out from opposite directions, their two heads would disagree, causing their left and right feet to trip over each other.
etc.
In previous attempts, Kong Xuan and Ran Deng had managed to briefly lure the ferocious beasts away from the Chaos Green Lotus's growth area by working together. However, because they were too low-level and too fragile, they were often torn to shreds in no time, and the beasts would turn their attention back to the Chaos Green Lotus.
While Kong Xuan was troubled, the game mechanics also popped up to make their presence felt.
If you realize that the "Preacher" is stuck in the Guardian quest and cannot break through, you can choose to return to the quest path selection screen and choose a suitable way to pass the level. For example, obtaining Hongjun will greatly increase your chances of passing the level, so don't miss it.
Kong Xuan decisively refused, having already determined that his choices over the past period were absolutely correct. The only missing piece was a crucial step: how to lure the chaotic beasts away and prevent them from ever returning.
Neither he nor Randeng have the ability to eliminate the ferocious beasts, and the Chaos Green Lotus can only protect itself. So, the only one left is the Great God Pangu.
However, the Great God Pangu is currently preoccupied with the fierce battle against three thousand chaotic gods and demons, and has no time to attend to these ant-like ferocious beasts.
To avoid the aftermath of the great war affecting them, the great god Pangu deliberately moved the battlefield to a distant place. Now, Kong Xuan can only watch from afar the sparks flying from the giant's great axe clashing with various weapons; those sparks, falling thousands of miles away, transform into man-eating giant flames.
"That's it!" Kong Xuan had a flash of inspiration and flew straight up.
After all, the battlefield where Pangu fought against the three thousand demon gods was extremely far away from here. From a distance, all that could be seen was lightning and thunder, and the battle was so fierce that space itself was torn apart. Apart from Pangu, it was impossible to see who else was fighting, so Kong Xuan always regarded them as background figures.
But just now, Kong Xuan clearly saw a spark from the giant axe during the battle, which landed on the ground and burned a large area of chaotic beasts.
"One must not approach during a great battle between powerful beings, otherwise the aftershocks of that battle could take the lives of us lesser cultivators." This is common knowledge among lesser cultivators in the primordial world.
But Kong Xuan is now going to do the opposite. After all, as a player, he can be resurrected after dying. Actively getting involved in the conflict and destroying a group of chaotic beasts is simply a sure way to make a fortune.
Kong Xuan's golden light shone even brighter. He excitedly spread his tail feathers and led a flock of birds and beasts towards the direction of the battle between the demon gods.
Meanwhile, Ran Deng raised his lamp high above his head, and surrounded by his summoned creatures, he won over another group of ferocious beasts.
As the cycle repeated, the number of ferocious beasts migrating and the concealment formations set up by Kong Xuan upon his resurrection caused the number of ferocious beasts around the Chaos Green Lotus to decrease at a visible rate, until not a single one remained.
In the darkness, an endless stream of ferocious beasts were drawn into the meat grinder of the war between gods and demons, becoming cannon fodder in the aftermath of the great battle.
The mission is complete; all that remains is for Pangu to finish his battle with the gods and demons before the results are announced. Kong Xuan cannot allow himself to be idle.
Before long, taking advantage of his smaller size, he brazenly ambushed the ferocious beasts. He specifically used his five-colored divine light to sweep across the vulnerable eyes of the ferocious beasts, and actually managed to kill two of the remaining ferocious beasts who were caught in the aftershocks. The large amount of experience gained from fighting at a higher level successfully brought his level up to the current server level limit.
On the other side, completely unpredictable is Tongtian, who is proficient in all kinds of games.
Masters are easy to find, but gacha pulls are rare. Having endured countless gacha pulls in the West, Tongtian, upon seeing the free ten-pull sign, found his hands moving as if they were not under his control, and he decisively pulled.
Blue skies and white clouds, nothing happens. You're guaranteed at least one Mystic Card, which allows you to conceal your presence for three breaths, making you undetectable to anyone.
This skill is practically useless in the hands of Tongtian, who can barely scratch the skin of a ferocious beast. It's as if none of the cards in this draw are usable.
After realizing that Tongtian had no hope of passing the game through simulation and deduction of the game mechanics, I decisively recommended the rewind and alternative selection function to him.
It also emphasizes that the gacha results after the rollback will be based on the results of the first free 10-pull. Therefore, it's best to choose the other path, otherwise you'll have to roll back again right after getting the card.
Tongtian's thoughtfulness towards the game was met with a firm rejection.
Then, relying on his superb gaming acumen, he made a request to the game developers: "The top ten on the leaderboard can receive a 100-draw gift pack upon entering the game."
Tongtian stood with his sword in his arms, laughing arrogantly: "Now we can draw cards, where are my 100 draws?"
[...There are currently only two paths; preachers, please choose carefully.]
"I chose to do it, and I did all 10 free pulls. I just applied for the 10 free pulls that were supposed to be given to me in the first place. I read the 'Game Guidelines,' and I should get every single one hundred pulls that are due to me."
The game's AI program performed two self-checks and found that the player's logic was valid. The game's operating mechanism immediately encountered a bug and fell into a stalemate.
Despite Tongtian's repeated emphasis on the leaderboard rewards, the game's AI program still distributed the "deserved 100 draws" to Tongtian.
"That's more like it!" Tongtian's passion for drawing cards returned when he saw his abundant resources.
Single pull, ten-pull, single pull, single pull, ten-pull, single pull...
Tongtian's smile, which had been unrestrained and flamboyant at the beginning, gradually became a flat line. What were these things that were being pulled out?
Besides the guaranteed character card at the beginning, I also drew a yellow-tier character card with the skill "Life Extension," which allows the character to survive for a short time after being killed. The rest were talismans, spirit stones, upgrade experience packs, and healing potions.
On the ninety-sixth draw, a ray of golden light finally appeared amidst a blue sky and white clouds.
Tongtian held his breath and focused his mind, his eyes regaining their brilliance. He remarked that he was lucky; his gold card was sure to be in the top ten of the leaderboard.
Before entering the game, he had already memorized the top ten skills, but he didn't know which one it was.
If he draws his own name, then he can use the Immortal Slaughtering Formation together. I wonder what effect it will have if two Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations are used together?
Drawing the eldest brother is also good; inaction is action, and defense is maxed out. Immediately unleash the eldest brother to protect the Chaos Green Lotus while he goes out to challenge opponents of higher levels.
Controlling Donghuang Taiyi is also an option, but it's uncertain whether Dijun's "Sun and Moon Shining Together" will be effective in the chaos. Using it like Heaven and Earth following in the footsteps of the Father God is also a good choice.
Even if he drew the second brother's "Heavenly Paths" card, he definitely wouldn't dislike it. He would definitely raise it carefully and show it off to the whole world, because he drew a gold card with only a one-in-a-thousand chance on the very first day of the game's launch.
What does it mean to be lucky? He's incredibly lucky!
The golden light in the Five Star Formation gradually weakened, but the card he was looking forward to never arrived. He was itching to play, but he ended up reaching out and disturbing the game by getting his first gold card.
Only after the golden light completely dissipated did Tongtian clear his cough, straighten his back, and prepare to greet his old friend.
But they found the formation empty, with only a thin card inside.
"Who among the top ten has a skill that's a card?" A hint of doubt flashed in Tongtian's eyes.
But as he approached, the card transformed into a streak of light and flashed onto Tongtian.
At this moment, Tongtian's radiant smile could no longer be maintained.
Good news! I got a rare card with a one-in-a-thousand chance in just 100 draws.
The bad news isn't the character cards that can be used in battle, but rather the even rarer supernatural abilities.
Tongtian checked his status and found that a new innate supernatural power had been added to the status bar of the fingertip game interface:
[One-Hit Kill]: Limited skill, can only be used once. After use, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance to empty the target's health bar.
-----------------------
Author's Note: Tongtian: Gacha! What gacha? What are you babbling about? Just do your free 10-pull first. What? You didn't get anything? Where's customer service? You promised to give me 100 pulls at launch, hurry up and give them to me, or I'm suing you for fraud.
I got gold! Great! I'm fine with whoever it is, but what? It's off! [Angry] Why are there still so many random things in the pool? [Scared]
