Join the Server“Cannon Fairy can always get the top prize!” suggested Cannon Fairy.
“Eh, is Fairy that overpowered?” Huo Jinjin clicked his tongue in amazement. “Does a pro have some special hidden technique for opening chests? Share a bit, Fairy? Let us unlock it too?”
“Sure~” I chuckled, lightly pushing up the bridge of my glasses… well, there were no glasses there now. “I wonder if you’ve heard of the ‘Account Creation Destiny Theory’?”
“Account Creation Destiny Theory?” Yingning also showed interest, seeming curious that my game pet could talk about player stuff.
“That’s right… Someone once said that a player’s luck is determined when their account is created. I can tell you with certainty, this is true, and it’s also a secret hidden within the industry, something that cannot be spoken of.” My tone sank, and my voice suddenly turned eerie. “I have a friend who was a veteran game developer. Before he died, he passed this secret on to me…”
“Before he died?!”
My chilling tone made the team feel as if a cold wind had swept through the area.
“You must have felt it too… Why is it always the same people who get good stuff announced to the world? Why does a friend always fish up big treasure chests? Why do some people always roll good items in dungeons? Why do some people get rich overnight from crafting? Actually, they aren’t plants; there’s a scientific reason behind it all…”
My voice trembled slightly, causing the others’ bodies to tremble as well.
“I get it!” Cannon Fairy suddenly raised her hand in realization. “It’s like elementary school kids grabbing things… When a player creates an account, the game gives them an initial value. Some are born good at fishing, some at opening chests, some at crafting! But the game company tries to ensure fairness, meaning… those good at fishing may not be good at opening chests, and those good at opening chests may not be good at crafting! Everyone has their strengths, right?”
“No, I’m trying to tell you that superstition can’t save the unlucky and spending money can’t change fate. If you’re black-faced, you’re black-faced. When God made you, He used a coal ball to shape your head!”
So just resign yourselves! You unlucky bastards will never turn things around in this life! Unless you delete your accounts and start over! Ah—ha—ha—ha—ha—ha—ha—ha!
I strode toward the dungeon chest, laughing arrogantly to the sky, heartlessly leaving behind Cannon Fairy, who was sobbing while hugging Yingning’s shoulder.
“Witness the descent of the European Emperor, you unlucky ones!”
I stepped on the edge of the treasure chest, opening it proudly like a conqueror who had scaled the mountain of treasures.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to a certain player for unexpectedly discovering a quasi-artifact level item while opening the Spider Nest Hell difficulty dungeon chest!]
[World Announcement: Congratulations to a certain player for unexpectedly discovering a second quasi-artifact level item while opening the Spider Nest Hell difficulty dungeon chest! Truly enviable!]
[World Announcement: European Emperor Descends! Congratulations to a certain player for unexpectedly discovering a third quasi-artifact level item while opening the Spider Nest Hell difficulty dungeon chest! Achievement ‘European Star Shines Bright’ unlocked!]
[World Announcement: 666666666666!]
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit! x2”
“Holy shit! x3”
“Holy shit! x4”
“World announcement?! 666666! Fairy is strong! Invincible! So European even the system couldn’t sit still! I submit!” Huo Jinjin’s mouth hung wide open, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.
“666666666666!” Cannon Fairy had turned into a repeater, only repeating that number.
Qingyu blinked, his expression complex, and finally spat out a sour word: “I submit…”
“Yaya is amazing!” Yingning excitedly gave me a kiss.
“Ahem! Alright, alright, isn’t getting the top prize just a daily routine for this European? What’s all the fuss about!” I pretended to be calm, suppressing my restless heart caused by that kiss, while secretly wiping a bead of sweat and constantly rejoicing that I actually got the drops… otherwise my European reputation this life would be ruined…
Actually, the top prize was supposed to be a golden artifact quality item, but the probability was so small it could be ignored. Three pale-gold quasi-artifact quality items counted as the top prize!
Previously, there were no quasi-artifact items in the entire server, and suddenly three appeared!
The world channel predictably exploded.
[Baixiaosheng, who appears in every game: “Meow, that group really struck it rich… But those big guilds that broke their backs and threw in countless money only to come back empty-handed really took a loss…”]
[Million Geoduck: “Green Giant Green Dog: Sold my love, forced me to fight. “]
[Million Mantis Shrimp: “Jiangu: When I finally learned the truth, my tears fell. “]
[Artifact Come to My Pocket: “Holy shit, the two main tanks above dealt 8 and 9 damage to Sword Sweeping the World, 66666!”]
“Alright! Let’s check the stats!”
I had to admit, after fighting tooth and nail all day, the harvest was too great! Remember, previously there weren’t even purple equipment in the game! Now three quasi-artifact items appeared! Even if those three items weren’t necessarily equipment, they must be invaluable!
At this moment, the team’s greatest anticipation was certainly for the use of the three quasi-artifact items, but the team inventory didn’t only have three pale-gold quasi-artifacts—there were also three purple equipment pieces, which were also the first of their kind in the server.
Considering that after seeing the quasi-artifacts, the team might not have high expectations for purple equipment, I first displayed the stats of the purple equipment…
First item: Staff!
[Actus’s Magic Core Crystal
Usage Level: 40
Additional Physical Attack: 5, Magic Attack: 260, Spirit: 70
Additional Skill: Mirror Image Lv8]
Wow, 260 magic attack, 70 spirit! Simple and brutal!
[Mirror Image Lv8: Create two mirror images that look like you to confuse enemies. Duration: 10s, Mirror HP: 1, Cooldown: 20s.]
10 seconds duration, 20 seconds cooldown… This staff is amazing! It completely compensates for the mage’s survivability weakness!
Too bad I’m a priest and can’t use it, otherwise this rod really fits my violence aesthetics… Hmm, doesn’t seem wrong anywhere.
“Both of you can use this staff, so you two can roll for luck. We’ll pass.” I said to Cannon Fairy and Huo Jinjin.
“No need,” Huo Jinjin waved his hand generously, raising his head with an air of disdain for wealth. “Ladies first, this equipment goes to Cannon Fairy. After all, I’m a gentleman!”
Eh, have I been underestimating this guy all along? I never thought he could be so manly…
“Stop pretending! You’re eyeing the quasi-artifact, aren’t you! If you give in now, you’ll use that as an excuse to make me give up later, right?” Cannon Fairy said disdainfully. “Anyway, you’ve never beaten me in a roll, and since you can’t win, you want to do me a favor to later scheme for the quasi-artifact… Pfft! With your IQ, you think you can outsmart me?”
Damn… Is the city really this deep?
Seeing his intentions exposed, Huo Jinjin’s face instantly turned red with fury and embarrassment. “b*tch! Just wait! Today I’ll make you regret rolling against me! I’ll make you know that a gentleman’s dignity is not to be violated! Come on! Roll! Decide who gets it!”
“Heh heh heh,” Cannon Fairy sneered.
[Immovable Ming King Huo Jinjin rolled 99 points.]
Huo Jinjin burst into laughter: “A ha ha, I’m turning over! I’m turning over! 99! The highest points of my life! Go ahead, roll a 100! If you roll a 100, I’ll…”
[Cannon Fairy rolled 100 points.]
[Team System Notice: Actus’s Magic Core Crystal has been allocated to Cannon Fairy.]
[Immovable Ming King Huo Jinjin: Orz]
