Chapter 225: Kai Xiusu's Secret Treasure (Part 1)
"Come on, come on! The Official has launched a Special Event!"
"听说有几率开出 God-tier Gear!"
"Seriously? That’s amazing!"
"Man, I’ve been hoarding gold coins for ages—just about to shut down the server—and now I can finally get some real gear!"
"Count me in! Let’s go!"
The news of Kai Xiusu's Secret Treasure spread like wildfire through the city—word passed from one player to ten, and ten to a hundred—until over a thousand Internal Test Players had gathered, pressing tightly around the shop in a chaotic, swarming mass, forming dozens of layers of eager, sweating bodies.
Unbeknownst to them, far beyond the city’s edge, deep within the royal palace, Kai Xiusu lounged across a golden throne, his eyes fixed on a Magic Mirror that showed the scene below. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"The charm of a Lottery Draw lies in its simplicity—and its uncertainty. By purchasing a Secret Treasure, waiting for the draw, and hoping, in an unpredictable way, to change your fate overnight… it’s pure magic."
"Tsk tsk. This age-old method of exploiting Experience Point-obsessed players? Still as effective as ever."
"No matter what, I’m not going to lose."
"Huh?" Tinia tilted her head, letting out a confused, high-pitched whine. She didn’t understand a word, and she thought all these humans were idiots.
The total value of the gear Kai Xiusu had packed into the chests was roughly three thousand gold coins—mostly junk scavenged from Lakanman’s royal storage, and trinkets left behind by impoverished adventurers. Yet he’d sold these same items in one thousand two hundred sealed boxes, each priced at five gold coins, guaranteeing a hundred-percent profit.
Thousand of burning eyes were fixed on the ornately decorated metal chests, their surfaces etched with the imposing emblem of the Red Dragon—ensuring no magic could spy on their contents.
"Night Poet" stared at the boxes like a man staring at a mountain of gold coins, his tongue darting out to wet his lips. "If I could steal a God-tier piece… I’d be rich!"
But then he glanced up at the sky—Wyverns patrolling in endless loops—and the heavily armed Tiefling City Guards lining the streets. His greed instantly cooled.
"Damn shame."
The Night Poet, guided by instinct more than reason, instinctively reached into the pocket of the player beside him.
But he’d forgotten—this was the heart of Northwind Keep, a Prohibited Theft Zone.
Boom!
"Who the hell exploded?!"
"My wallet! That was my wallet—perfect timing!"
"It’s the Black Cattle! Hahahaha! Still thinks he’s outside the city, poor fool!"
A long, echoing bell rang through the air. The slender, serpentine beauty—her figure like a winding river of silk—clapped her hands together, her smile radiant.
"Alright, everyone! The event has begun. Please line up and purchase in an orderly fashion!"
"One for me!"
"Me first—single pull for Miracle!"
"Get back! I was here first!"
Players surged forward, crowding the shop so tightly it was impossible to breathe.
Only Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang, with his brute strength and unyielding frame, managed to shove his way to the front. He slapped five gold coins onto the counter.
Swish—
A faint green glow seeped through the seams of the box.
"Loot is dropping! Loot is dropping!"
The players erupted in frenzy.
With a crisp clink, a pair of rough, weathered leather boots emerged into view.
[Running and Jumping Boots]
Quality: Rare
Description: Crafted from Pegasus hide, these boots increase your running speed by 15%. You can leap three times your normal distance.
"Listen, kid—jumping high is the romance of men!" — Chief Galarag of the Fangclub Beastfolk tribe.
"Whoa!"
"Nice gear!"
"Is the drop rate that high? First one’s already rare—this Official’s got heart!"
"I want one too! Let me try!"
The onlookers stared in envy. Though the boots were only Green Quality, they were worth more than many Blue Gear pieces—especially for melee classes. And even a Green item was worth far more than five gold coins.
"Sir, would you like to buy more?"
"No, no thanks."
Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang rubbed his bald head, now polished smooth from years of rubbing, and chuckled.
As a Barbarian, he didn’t need much gear. And having already drawn a decent piece? He was already ahead.
Players kept buying, one after another. With each box opened, the air filled with the soft, sparkling tink-tink of magical rewards—Kai Xiusu’s deliberate design, inspired by old-school game developers who knew how to make loot drops feel epic.
It was all about addiction—making players crave that one perfect box.
And the boxes? They were reusable. The ultimate cost-efficiency.
In just minutes, over a hundred boxes had been sold. Players unleashed their full arsenal of supernatural abilities: some washed their faces with holy water, others prayed to forgotten gods, and a few even performed occult sacrifices.
"One more!"
"My turn—Gacha!"
"Amitabha, Wuliang Tianzun, Amen—Whoever you are, let me drop loot! Faith is burning within me!"
"I’ll trade my brother’s entire decade of bachelorhood for this drop!"
"I’ll sacrifice ten years of the Black Cattle’s life!"
But luck wasn’t on their side. Most boxes yielded only Common-quality trash. Only a dozen Green Gear pieces appeared—no Rare Equipment at all.
Chaos erupted.
"Dog Designer’s a fraud! I worked my ass off to save gold coins—only got a rusty iron dagger?!"
"At least you got a weapon. I opened one and got an adventurer’s pants."
"Refund! I sold all my gear to buy these boxes—just got the same helmet I already owned! Who understands my pain?!"
"What kind of drop rate is this?!"
"Ugh… I only got one rare staff. Rare gear is impossible to get!"
"Lucky Dog, eat my spear! Still showing off like nothing’s wrong? Bro, we’re all bleeding—we’re the ones who lost, not you!"
With so few actual drops, the crowd hesitated. Doubt crept in. Was it worth risking months of hard-earned gold on a gamble?
Kai Xiusu watched from his throne, frowning.
"These people are too unlucky. I didn’t even cheat—I can’t afford to leave unsold stock! Maybe I should… adjust things a little?"
"No… wait. The next box might be Rare. Let’s just… wait and see."
"Ah? It’s him?"
The next player’s ID sent a jolt through Kai Xiusu’s mind.
Charlotte.
Leader of the Magic Coin Guild. Head of the Magic Affairs Office. The infamous Gullible Investor. Known across the realm as Charlotte the Market Mover—a name that meant one thing: whenever she spent, the market trembled. She’d once single-handedly driven up the average price of goods by thirty percent in a single day.
"I’ll take ten boxes!"
Charlotte’s declaration was massive—so bold it left even the poorest players stunned.
"Damn… no wonder she’s Charlotte the Market Mover. Look at that spending power!"
"This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Ten-Draw Pull!"
"Can’t blame her. This might be the first time in a month she’s bought anything at full price."
