220: Chapter 220 Drawing lots is also a physically demanding task!
Big Shot Chen You's gaze swept across the "Wealthy Ranking," and a look of "disappointment" appeared on his face.
The Three Great Divine Races, that's all?
He could even imagine the guild leader of the Titan God Clan on the other end, staring intently at the ranking board, performing single draws cautiously.
Yes, judging by the amount, it must have been single draws.
Every fluctuation of the numbers was accompanied by tension and excitement.
This was a game of strategy between the guild leaders of the Three Great Divine Races.
Even so, this mere thousand-plus gold coins was enough to make many ordinary players exclaim that they didn't understand.
"Too stingy."
Big Shot Chen You shook his head and muttered softly to himself.
"Let me test the waters first."
He stopped paying attention to the ranking board and directly clicked open the interface for the big turntable lottery.
γ Draw Once: 100 Gold Coins γ
γ Draw Ten Times: 980 Gold Coins γ
Big Shot Chen You's finger landed directly on the ten-pull option.
γ Ding! You obtained "Enhancement Stone x10"! γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Thank You For Playing"... γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Equipment Refinement Stone x5"! γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Thank You For Playing"... γ
...
"What kind of garbage is all this?"
Big Shot Chen You complained internally, then looked back at the ranking board.
γ First Place: Salos (Titan Temple), Amount Spent: 1800 Gold Coins. γ
γ Second Place: Arrow of the Moon (Moon Gods Radiance), Amount Spent: 1700 Gold Coins. γ
γ Third Place: Oro (Shadow of Roman), Amount Spent: 1500 Gold Coins. γ
γ Fourth Place: Chen You (Immortal Summer), Amount Spent: 1000 Gold Coins. γ
It seemed that even though the ten-pull cost 980 gold coins in reality, the consumption record still counted as 1000 gold coins.
As Chen You's name appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of quite a few players.
After all, in the eyes of other players, Chen You's persona was that of a "super tycoon."
Naturally, many players were eagerly anticipating his appearance in an event like this.
"Big Shot Chen You has finally made a move! Everyone quickly check the Gold Coin Ranking!"
"What the heck, only 1000 gold coins? Is the Big Shot in a bad mood?"
"What bad mood? He probably ran out of savings."
Chen You paid no mind to the surrounding discussions; his face remained completely calm.
"Hurry up, here we go!"
His finger landed on the ten-pull option again.
Then, he began clicking frantically!
There were no gorgeous animations, no heart-pounding music.
The entire turntable flashed wildly and illogically, and all the prize slots turned into streaks of flowing light.
Immediately after, with a "bang," the entire turntable interface went black!
What replaced it was the system notification on the left side of Chen You's screen, refreshing wildly like a waterfall!
γ Ding! You obtained "Legendary Custom Brocade x3"! γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Thank You For Playing"... γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Beginner Enchantment Scroll x3"! γ
γ Ding! You obtained "Skill Stone x2"! γ
...
The speed at which the information refreshed formed an impenetrable green curtain of light.
Chen You didn't even glance at it, focusing only on continuously pulling ten times.
These items, to him, were merely the wrapping paper that came with buying a Kun.
A few seconds later, a system announcement that echoed across the heavens occupied the view of all players!
γ World Announcement: Player [Chen You] has accumulated a total consumption of 10,000 Gold Coins in the "Surprise Grand Turntable" event! His magnificent feat will be forever recorded in the history of the Source Realm! γ
The announcement was golden, complete with exaggerated gold coin rain special effects.
"Ten thousand gold coins? Am I seeing things? Wasn't it just a thousand?!"
"It must be fake! Definitely a system BUG!"
"Wait a minute, everyone quickly look at the Wealthy Ranking!"
Everyone subconsciously clicked on that glittering golden ranking board.
Salos, who had just firmly held the first place, had already been squeezed into second place.
And in the first place position, a new name appeared prominently.
γ First Place: Chen You (Immortal Summer), Amount Spent: 11,600 Gold Coins. γ
However, this was only the beginning.
Before everyone could recover from the immense shock, the second golden announcement arrived in quick succession!
γ World Announcement: Player [Chen You] has accumulated a total consumption of 20,000 Gold Coins in the "Surprise Grand Turntable" event! His magnificent feat will be forever recorded in the history of the Source Realm! γ
The numbers on the ranking board jumped instantly from over ten thousand to twenty thousand under the watchful eyes of everyone!
"..."
Everyone was stunned.
If ten thousand was shocking, then twenty thousand was simply unbelievable.
"What... what is going on? Does the Big Shot recharge his money in units of 'ten thousands'?"
"No, you're wrong. The Big Shot swipes his money in units of 'seconds'!"
Immediately following that.
γ World Announcement: Player [Chen You] has accumulated a total consumption of 30,000 Gold Coins in the "Surprise Grand Turntable" event! γ
γ World Announcement: Player [Chen You] has accumulated a total consumption of 40,000 Gold Coins in the "Surprise Grand Turntable" event! γ
...
Golden announcements followed one after another, like dense heavy artillery, pounding relentlessly onto the face of every single player.
Players watched the numbers on the ranking board soar wildly like they were riding a rocket, at a speed incomprehensible to mortals.
Fifty thousand...
Sixty thousand...
Seventy thousand...
Inside the guild territory of the Titan Temple, the atmosphere was oppressively stagnant.
Salos stared at the ranking board with a dark expression, the ring-shaped protrusion on his forehead seemed to tremble slightly.
He had just been feeling a bit smug about overtaking Arrow of the Moon, but now...
That mere consumption amount of 1,800 gold coins looked like a huge joke in the face of that dazzling number.
"Guild Leader... should we... should we still chase?" a Titan God Clan member asked cautiously.
Salos didn't answer, just clenched his fists tightly.
Chase? How could he chase? With what?
Meanwhile, within the territory of Moon Gods Radiance, a group of Elf God Clan women fell into collective speechlessness.
Arrow of the Moon stared blankly at the name and number that kept jumping, a look of bewilderment on her beautiful face.
Her original plan was to engage in a tug-of-war with the Titan Temple and Shadow of Roman, keeping the consumption under 5,000 gold coins to ultimately secure the top spot.
But now...
That man had used the most savage and unreasonable method to tell everyone:
You guys play your game.
I'll play mine.
Finally, after ten consecutive server-wide announcements, the wildly jumping numbers slowly stopped.
γ World Announcement: Player [Chen You] has accumulated a total consumption of 100,000 Gold Coins in the "Surprise Grand Turntable" event! His magnificent feat will be forever recorded in the history of the Source Realm! γ
The entire Source Realm fell silent.
All players subconsciously looked toward the Wealthy Ranking.
The line of text at the very top of the board seemed to contain infinite magic, deeply imprinted in everyone's pupils.
γ First Place: Chen You (Immortal Summer), Amount Spent: 100,000 Gold Coins. γ
γ Second Place: Salos (Titan Temple), Amount Spent: 1,800 Gold Coins. γ
One side had one hundred thousand.
The other had one thousand eight hundred.
These two numbers listed together created a startling sense of absurdity.
"Brothers... I'm blind, can someone tell me what happened?!"
"I was just wondering if I could draw once after working for a year, and now I just want to ask, should I just delete my account and start over?"
"I seriously suspect this guy named Chen You is the biological father of the Source Realm's GM!"
"The Big Shot has given us plenty of benefits, he deserves it!"
"Guild Leader Salos has left the chat group."
"Guild Leader Arrow of the Moon has left the chat group."
"Guild Leader Oro has left the chat group."
Countless players played along with the memes, using mockery to mask the shock and powerlessness in their hearts.
And the instigator, Chen You, merely rubbed his fingers.
"It would be too unreasonable if this doesn't grant me a thousand consecutive draws!"
He couldn't help but complain internally.
"My fingers are sore."
His backpack was already stuffed full of various materials, potions, scrolls, and enhancement stones.
Fortunately, he still had a storage pouch, so he wasn't completely full.
He couldn't even be bothered to look at them; these items were either useless or he couldn't use them yet.
Their only use right now was to get him to the top of the ranking board.
Just as he was preparing to check out the quality of the event dungeon.
"Ding!"
A crisp and pleasant notification sound rang by his ear.
There was a new message.
"Are they getting impatient?"
Chen You knew it must be Arrow of the Moon sending the message.
He clicked open the dialogue box, and there was only one short but information-dense sentence.
"...Can we talk? I represent more than just Moon Gods Radiance."
