Chapter 37: Unleash a powerful attack upon entry.
At the Heavenly Mandate Platform, Lu Chaoding began the lottery draw.
He was just about to throw out all 116 unreliable raffle tickets when he suddenly noticed that the top one seemed a little different.
[Unreliable Lottery Ticket: Allows one draw at the Destiny Platform after use. The winning probability is randomly generated, ignoring any guaranteed draw mechanisms. Random effect: Guaranteed to draw the same item as the one obtained in the previous draw!]
"Wow, they even have raffle tickets!"
Lu Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked the other unreliable lottery tickets. Before long, he took out two unusual ones.
One of them was fairly ordinary, with a random effect of "60% chance to draw a four-star item".
The other random effect is a bit special: "Drawing a prize at 12:00 noon guarantees a three-star equipment."
"Looks like I have to check every single one of these unreliable lottery tickets. Last time I did a hundred consecutive draws without checking the specific attributes, and I just threw them all away. It was fun, but I might have lost a hundred million..."
Lu Chao rubbed his head, feeling a bit regretful. He checked the other unreliable lottery tickets again, and after confirming that there was nothing else to pay attention to, he began to draw the lottery tickets one by one.
"Compressed biscuits"
Dried radish
"Cured pork"
"Golden Dollar"
……
Lu Chaoding quickly amassed a large amount of low-level materials and food. Before he knew it, he had used up all 113 lottery tickets. The only thing that caught Lu Chaoding's attention was a one-star back item named "Broken Sack"!
This is a tattered, grayish sack, greasy and dirty, with holes in it. It has 10 storage compartments and can be used to store items, but carrying it on your back will reduce your speed by 10 points. It also has a special attribute: it can carry people and small monsters, provided that the target does not resist or does not have time to resist!
"This thing is kind of funny, isn't it? Players have so much storage space, they don't need this tattered sack at all. But the fact that it can store players or monsters inside is interesting. Maybe we'll have a chance to use it in the future..."
Lu Chaoding pictured a dark and windy night, people stuffed into sacks, and running away with them on his back, which he found quite amusing.
After putting away the tattered sack, Lu Chaoding then used a lottery ticket with a "60% chance of drawing a four-star item." With a hum, a purple light descended.
Lu Chaoding was immediately alerted. He stepped forward and pierced the purple light sphere, where he immediately saw a purple jade stone the size of a fist.
[Premium Refined Gem: A four-star item, a rarer item of superior quality than ordinary refined gems. It is a universal material for refining four-star equipment. When using a premium refined gem to refine equipment, there is a high chance of a critical hit, increasing the equipment's refinement level by two to three levels.]
"This gem is alright. I already have the four-star costume, Divine Insight, so it'll come in handy. It's not a bad draw after all!"
Lu Chao nodded in satisfaction. He used the gem on the spot and then received a system notification: "Ding, your four-star costume [Divine Insight] has been successfully refined, refinement level +1!"
"Ding! Critical hit triggered! Refinement level +1!"
"That was a critical hit!"
陆超顶心说好运,他连忙查看【神机妙觉】的属性信息,发现其精炼等级已经变成了「精炼+2」,属性效果也得到了大幅度提升,如今是:韧性+6、防御+6、速度+6、战意上限+6、全抗性+20%、物理闪避+14%、进入战斗后立刻获得8点战意。
"Add 8 points to Battle Spirit!"
Lu Chao couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. With the +2 refined [Divine Insight] equipped and the Invigorating Pill in addition, he could now enter the battle with 10 points of battle spirit, which meant that he could unleash [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon] as soon as he entered the field.
"As expected of a four-star outfit, its stats are amazing!"
Lu Chao felt invincible and immediately wanted to go and kill the BOSS.
There were two unreliable lottery tickets left. Lu Chao carefully put them away. Both of them were very precious, especially the one that guaranteed a win. Obviously, he would wait until he won a divine treasure before using it, so that the divine treasure would be doubled, which would be much more satisfying!
Next, Lu Chaoding went to hunt Night Beasts.
He didn't go to Lion Cliff, but instead went to the beach.
He had seen many strange creatures over the past two nights, but the one that left the deepest impression on him was undoubtedly the giant tentacle beast that he saw on the beach on the first night.
That was because the oppressive feeling of that behemoth was too strong.
Lu Chao thought that it was most likely a BOSS, but unfortunately he was too anxious to escape and didn't see its attributes clearly.
At this moment, Lu Chaoding thought about going to the beach to try his luck and see if he could meet a suitable big boss.
Before long, Lu Chaoding arrived at the beach. He looked around and saw many wild monsters such as shrimp demons, clam spirits, giant crabs, and sea turtles in the hazy night. They were all nocturnal creatures, like mutated animals, with all sorts of strange appearances and a great number of them.
But nothing particularly eye-catching seemed to be there anymore. Lu Chao looked out over the sea but did not spot the enormous tentacle beast from the first night.
He didn't hesitate, found a good spot, and started grinding away, killing the night beasts one by one.
With Lu Chaoding's current strength, he doesn't dare to be too arrogant. He only kills lone night beasts and always avoids those that are in groups. Unless he is 100% certain of killing one, he basically won't touch them.
After all, the punishment of death at night is too severe, and Lu Chaoding doesn't want to try it lightly.
While Lu Chao was working himself to the bone, at the top of Lion Mountain, in Camp Two, Zhao Weike gathered everyone together and was carefully discussing things with them.
"The Lion Mountain Sword Tournament starts early tomorrow morning. If everyone works together, we might be able to compete for the rewards. If we all go our own way and do our own thing, we'll definitely be wasting our time and get nothing!"
Zhao Weike, with the air of a shrewd man, continued, "We only have one enemy, and that's Brother Ding! Brother Ding is too strong; he could probably kill us instantly with ease. If we do nothing, then all three treasures of the Great Sword Sect will definitely be his, and we'll get nothing!"
Wang Yingluo asked, "So you mean...?"
Zhao Wei made a chopping motion and said, "Everyone, let's work together to get Brother Ding out of here first!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "You mean, once the melee starts, we'll all gang up on Ding Ge!"
"That's right, we have to get Ding Ge out of here first. The seven of us need to form an alliance and focus our fire on him once the melee starts. We should try to take him down in the first round so we can go and compete for the rewards."
Zhang Defa raised his hand and said, "Brother Ding is fast; he attacked first!"
"That's precisely why we need to unite. Even if one of us gets killed by Ding Ge first, we don't need to be afraid. There are still six left. Come on, let's discuss the details..."
Zhao Weike appeared very active, but he had many more thoughts on his mind. He had considered why he chose the Sword Demon class and why he didn't mention the tutorial dungeon closing on the first day. He wanted to win the Lion Mountain Sword Tournament.
"As long as we can get Lu Chaoding out of here first, the others are no threat. As the Sword Demon, my survivability is the strongest... I also need to fool these fellow villagers and get them to oppose Lu Chaoding. No matter how strong Lu Chaoding is, he's still just one person. With his AI intelligence, how could he possibly defeat me?"
As Zhao Weike pondered silently, he gradually gained confidence. He seemed to already see the scene of everyone present besieging Lu Chaoding tomorrow.
