Seeing the familiar red dot on the player panel, Xiao Jin's eyes sharpened: They're here!
Ten days have passed, and just ten minutes before entering the next world, the survival game finally ended its update.
All the players stared nervously at the backstage area, like prisoners about to be judged.
What changes will this update bring to them?
While countless people hesitated, feared, and felt uneasy, Xiao Jin clicked on the link without hesitation.
[System Announcement (New)]
[Game update complete, new world loading...]
[Loading complete. The world library has been expanded, and new side quests have been added. Completing these quests will yield generous rewards. A leaderboard system and a title system are also now available.]
A new Lucky Roulette section has been added, offering many rewards. Players are encouraged to participate.
The new player gift pack has been sent to your in-game mailbox. Please check it.
This update brings significant changes, including new types of worlds and the simultaneous launch of leaderboards and a title system, although the criteria for evaluation have not been specified.
Then there's the new section, the Lucky Roulette. Xiao Jin knew with his toes that this thing was a rip-off, and it would definitely consume points.
Generally speaking, anything involving lotteries or raffles doesn't come with anything good. [Author's note: (╬▔皿▔)╯Gacha sprees have ruined me]
Xiao Jin wasn't initially interested in the lucky wheel, but the system thoughtfully placed a miniature, colorful wheel icon in the upper right corner of the panel, which was even flashing.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jin clicked on the link and raised an eyebrow after seeing the prizes inside.
[Sword of Judgment, Price]
[Talisman Scroll, Price]
[The price of the gold medal from Verdino]
[The Voodoo Doll]
[soul-inducing flags,]
[...]
There are ten items on the roulette wheel, three of which are gold and the remaining seven are purple. There is a description next to it. The roulette wheel reward pool is updated every three worlds, and the items are random each time.
There are many high-level items in the pool, but players need to spend points to draw them. Each draw costs 10 points, so 100 points means you are guaranteed a blue item after 10 draws, a purple item after 1000 draws, and a gold item after 5000 draws.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin was speechless. The end of the gacha system is the pity system, right?
That's true. Don't be fooled by the tempting gold and purple items in the pool; most of them are actually just white or junk items.
"Heh! If I really try, I'll probably get screwed over by the system." Xiao Jin sneered.
Is 10 points a lot? Yes, it is, but Xiao Jin still believes that some people will not be able to resist the temptation and take the risk. Aren't there enough gamblers in this world?
That's right, just like Xiao Jin said, there are indeed many people who daydream about drawing golden items.
Old Wu was a seasoned gambler who used to be a small business owner, but he was taken to an underground casino and lost everything.
He was about to jump off a building, but suddenly everyone on the entire planet was caught up in a survival game. Old Wu was overjoyed; he no longer had to pay his debts, and he no longer had to commit suicide!
He was lucky to have survived the previous two worlds, but he had suffered a lot of injuries. After treatment, it was a problem that he could not even buy any items, let alone stay alive. And Old Wu was someone who liked to enjoy life.
The luxury items in the system store were practically sold off at bargain prices when converted to points. Old Wu bought a lot of high-end cigarettes and alcohol, and spent his days indulging in a drunken stupor on the train. After several such purchases, he had almost no points left.
"10 points~" Old Wu's hands were still trembling from the alcohol. He looked at the golden and purple light on the roulette wheel with a drooling gaze.
"Hiccup~ Perfect, perfect." He happened to have 10 points left, and he would have 50 points when he returned from the next game world. Rather than keeping them, he might as well take a gamble.
Old Wu swallowed hard, his right hand trembling as he tried to tap the panel, but he hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pressed the 'extract' button.
The lottery wheel slowly started under the bright light of the panel, emitting a deep and alluring hum. A sense of oppression and excitement filled the air. Old Wu's eyes were fixed on the ever-accelerating, colorful spinning wheel, and his pupils reflected a vortex of greed and desire.
As the roulette wheel slowed down, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the effort, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Gold...it has to be gold!" Old Wu gasped.
'Buzz!'
The roulette wheel stopped, and the dazzling colors gradually converged into a blinding white light. It pierced the darkness like lightning and headed straight for the entrance to the system inventory.
Old Wu suddenly opened his eyes and saw the outline of an item slowly appear at the entrance of the system backpack—an ordinary, empty soda can.
[Beep! You've drawn an empty soda can!]
Aluminum can
Quality: Garbage
Useless, utterly worthless, maybe you can keep it to sell for money.
A cold, mechanical voice rang in his ears, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly extinguishing all of Old Wu's enthusiasm and hope. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a soda can from his system backpack and examined it repeatedly.
"Impossible! How could it be an aluminum can!"
Old Wu squeezed and shook it over and over, it must have other functions, it definitely does!
Three minutes passed, and Old Wu slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant. He finally believed that it was just an ordinary aluminum can.
10 points! You only got this piece of trash for 10 points!
Old Wu silently covered his face.
...
Xiao Jin skipped the lucky draw and headed straight for the mailbox.
New player gift pack, has this system changed its nature? It's actually giving players benefits on its own initiative!
Click to claim, and the next second, a bright red gift box with a bow on top appears in your system inventory: [Newbie Gift Pack (contains two random tiers of items, ps: the highest tier is blue)].
Xiao Jin opened it, and two more items immediately appeared in the backpack, which looked like two cards.
[Basic Survival Backpack (White): Contains three bottles of mineral water, two packs of compressed biscuits, one roll of hemostatic bandages, a pair of flint and steel, and one sheet of tarpaulin]
The card is shaped like a dark brown backpack, filled with emergency supplies. If you have this when you're in dire straits, you can survive for another three days without any problem.
Most importantly, previously, food from the system store could not be brought into the game, but this survival backpack completely eliminates this concern.
Xiao Jin immediately became interested in the other card.
