206: The Temptation of the Golden Scroll

Chapter 206: The Allure of the gold scroll

One hundred and sixty Spirit Crystals for a single draw isn't too expensive.

The key is that if you're lucky, you can get it done with very little money.

Hu Yanfei believed he had some luck, otherwise he wouldn't have been born into such a good Family.

"A gold scroll Wish scroll is guaranteed after 100 draws, right? Then I'll start with 100 draws and see."

Just 16,000 Spirit Crystals, that's nothing!

Recharge, exchange, all in one go.

He immediately did a ten-pull:

【General Leopard Tail - bronze scroll】copy.

【Ox-Head Underworld General - Bronze】rubbing

Four Great Judges Collector's Edition Album

Netherworld Soldiers Fragment × 1

Elite Netherworld Soldiers Fragment × 1

Elite Netherworld Soldiers Fragment × 1

Netherworld Outpost Ticket × 1

Thank you for your patronage

...One ten-pull, it doesn't seem too bad.

"Leopard Tail, one of the Ten Yama Generals?" Hu Yanfei pouted, disappointed.

A trash bronze scroll naturally didn't match his noble status as a Gold tier player; he was aiming for a gold scroll.

However, according to the rules in the announcement, if he drew a scroll card he didn't like or need, he could apparently break it down and recycle it into points, which could then be exchanged in the points mall for gold scroll Wish scrolls and various other items.

In addition, five identical bronze scrolls could be exchanged for the corresponding silver scroll.

Only this 【Netherworld Outpost Ticket】 was understandable, but what in the world were 【Netherworld Soldiers Fragments】?

According to the card prompt, ten fragments could be combined to form a complete Netherworld Soldier card, which could then be exchanged for a Netherworld Soldier at the Underworld Club.

"A special scroll?" Hu Yanfei muttered to himself, but didn't pay too much attention, immediately doing another ten-pull.

At this time, on the official website forum, netizens were already discussing animatedly, completely exploding.

"What the hell? They're doing a lottery for scroll sales?"

"Is this even reasonable?"

"160 Spirit Crystals per draw, why don't you just rob us directly?"

"Didn't you see that a bronze scroll is guaranteed with a ten-pull? It actually works out to be quite a bit cheaper."

"Cheaper? What if you draw something you don't like?"

"Isn't there a trading System right next to it? If you find it troublesome, you can also break it down into points and exchange for various card pool items."

"Damn, they thought of everything."

"Although I don't understand why they're doing this, after looking it over, it feels quite reasonable."

"What if I keep drawing and never get the scroll I want?"

"The supplementary clause in the announcement clearly states that this lottery System uses a special mechanism, and when the guaranteed draw is triggered, the probability of getting a scroll that suits you will significantly increase."

"What the hell? The computer can know what scroll I want? And what scroll is suitable for me?"

"That's too far-fetched, isn't it?"

"By the way, have any rich guys tried it? How's the experience?"

"Hehe, one ten-pull and I immediately got 【Black and White Impermanence】, done!"

"Really? Is it a shill?"

"What shill? Many people in the group are already showing off their pulls."

"Damn it, a bunch of seals, I'm so jealous, why can't I draw the scroll I like?"

"It must be my bad luck, no, I have to try again."

After some initial discussion and attempts, more and more netizens decided to try it for themselves.

Those with good luck posted screenshots, while those with bad luck complained in posts, making the entire forum extremely lively.

Among them were also some wealthy but easily excitable players, who became more and more enthusiastic with each draw.

For example, our Young Master Hu Yanfei, after securing the 【Day Wandering God - silver scroll】copy with a fifty-pull guarantee, continued to do ten-pulls.

It wasn't until the ninetieth draw, approaching the major guaranteed draw, that he drew a 【gold scroll Wish scroll】.

He then eagerly rushed to the gold scroll card pool.

With one draw, he only got a complete 【Elite Ghost Soldier】 card.

"Tsk ~ So the real trap is here!"

Hu Yanfei then realized that there was no such thing as a guaranteed draw in the gold scroll card pool; it was purely based on fate and luck.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe it."

So he decisively recharged and began a frenzy of ten-pulls, breaking down all the scrolls he drew, converting the points into gold scroll Wish scrolls, and throwing them all into the gold scroll card pool, but unfortunately, he still didn't get a gold scroll qualification.

Frustrated as he was, Hu Yanfei didn't care about the money he spent, but rather why he couldn't get a gold scroll qualification.

Meanwhile, on the official website forum, netizens had gradually begun to accept this method, moving past their initial confusion.

"Don't say anything ~ it's quite interesting."

"I feel a bit addicted, brothers."

"If I hadn't already drawn the scroll I wanted, I'd even want to do a few more draws to try my luck."

"Why hesitate? Just draw, and that's it! If you don't need it, you can sell it to other netizens! Besides, won't you upgrade to a silver scroll later?"

"Oh, right! I'm going to start drawing now!"

"Does anyone know what these 【Netherworld Soldiers Fragments】 and 【Ghost Soldier Fragments】 are for? Ten fragments combine into a complete card."

"It seems to be for exchanging something at the Club, like souvenirs or something?"

"The description doesn't sound like it ~!"

"I don't know, my previous silver scroll order compensation was an Elite Netherworld Soldier card. I'll go ask at the Underworld Club later."

"No, no, why do I feel like the Netherworld Soldiers on this illustration are a bit familiar?"

"Oh my, aren't these those strange Elite Ghouls from the Mysterious Abyss controlled zone before?"

"I remember now, those Netherworld Soldiers and Ghouls had no hostility towards the Yin General Scroll and would fight alongside the Yin General Scroll."

"What does that mean? You can even exchange for these special Ghouls from the Club? Is it true?"

"In other words, our great Yin General Scroll can even lead an army?"

"Hiss ~ I think I understand why the Yin General Scroll is called a Yin General?"

"The key is, where does the Underworld Club get so many Netherworld Soldiers and Ghouls?"

"Everyone, please wait, my house is very close to the Underworld Club, I'm going to exchange for a Netherworld Soldier and try it out right now."

"Waiting online, hurry, hurry!"

...Huyan City, inside the Hu Yan Family mansion.

Hu Yanfei gradually became enraged, having used thirteen gold scroll Wish scrolls without getting any gold scrolls.

"This is too disgusting, isn't it?"

Was his luck too bad, or was the gold scroll card pool too deep?

Logically speaking, his luck shouldn't be this bad, right?

Hu Yanfei, not believing in evil, ran to the forum, wanting to find netizens who shared his plight to complain about this disgusting gacha mechanism together.

However, he found that someone had already shown off a gold scroll qualification card. Clicking on the post, he saw it was a netizen named 【Saving Money to Buy a House】. Looking at the name, he knew it wasn't some rich guy, so he definitely hadn't spent much money.

【Saving Money to Buy a House】: "Oh my god! Oh my god! I think I drew it, I'm so excited, what should I do!"

Below, the golden, fully-effected card illustration was posted.

【Horse-Face Yin General - Gold】With this scroll, you can order the corresponding gold scroll at this Club, Materials self-provided.

On the back of the card, the various Material requirements for making the gold scroll Horse-Face were listed in detail.

As soon as the post was published, it immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch and discuss heatedly.

"Holy cow! Someone already got a gold scroll qualification so quickly?"

"What the hell? The OP only used one gold scroll Wish scroll to draw it? And this gold scroll Wish scroll came out at the sixty-draw mark?"

"Damn! Comparing people to people makes you furious!"

"Wuwuwu, I've already thrown in two gold scroll Wish scrolls, and I haven't gotten anything."

"Let me absorb some luck first, I absorb, I absorb, I absorb, absorb, absorb—!"

"Wait, there's a gold scroll version of Horse-Face Yin General?"

"Really? Aren't the Ten Yama Generals lower-tier scrolls? They can be upgraded to gold scrolls?"

"The silver scroll Yin General is already so powerful, wouldn't it be heaven-defying after upgrading to a gold scroll?"

"I hadn't heard any rumors about a gold scroll Yin General before, I really want to see the splendor of a gold scroll Yin General."

"OP, are you selling? Price in private chat, I definitely won't disappoint you."

"A gold scroll qualification, if this were sold, wouldn't it directly lead to financial freedom?"

"Only a fool would sell it, who knows if they'll have such luck next time?"

"Yes, that's a gold scroll qualification! The lifelong pursuit of our vast Spirit Master community!"

Soon after, the OP 【Saving Money to Buy a House】 had changed his name to 【Saving Money for gold scroll Horse-Face】 and came out to reply: "I'm sorry, although my Family background is ordinary, I will absolutely not transfer this heaven-sent opportunity to anyone else."

I hope everyone can also draw the scroll they desire, keep it up ~ Respect!"

"I knew the OP wouldn't sell it, if it were me, I'd even sell everything I own to get the gold scroll."

"Even if you have to take out a loan, with a gold scroll, are you afraid of not being able to repay the loan?"
