Chapter 239: The Hyped Great Gift Packs

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Pegasus Mount, an Epic-Level combat mount that allowed the owner to soar freely in the sky. Not a single player in the entire game currently possessed a flying mount. Great. An Epic-Level combat mount had finally appeared.
“Are you f*cking serious? I’ve spent at least ten million Gold Coins and I had yet to get anything remotely good. Is Fire Ice being supported by something?”
“Support my *ass. She is the secretary of Little Drunk Cat, Li Yi’s right-hand man, Fire Ice. I really doubt you’re an Eastern Continent player since you don’t even know this.”
“It’s unfair! It’s too unfair!”
Countless players kept complaining. The reason for that was rather simple as they were not able to obtain what Fire Ice had obtained. This had shaken their psychological state.
“Congratulations Ice!”
“Wahaha, Congratulation Lady Ice. That is some serious luck.”
People kept congratulating Fire Ice in the guild channel and this had caused the players to be even more hyped up.
They were in disbelief as to how could she obtain something that they were unable to…
The Great Gift Packs’ sale spiked up. As the players had exhausted their Gold Coins, they topped up with real life money in exchange for Gold Coins with other players. Ultimately, the Pegasus which Fire Ice had obtained had caused the first climax in the Ruler of God Appreciation festival.
“I’ve only bought one Gift Pack. This… is beyond my expectations.” Fire Ice was over the moon.
Countless people had messaged Fire Ice as they offered hundreds of millions of real life money for the Pegasus mount. Unfortunately, all items obtained from the Gift Packs would be bound to the players, including the combat mount. It would be impossible for Fire Ice to sell it even if she wanted to.
What if the players wanted the combat mount? There was only one way to obtain it, which was to purchase the Ruler of God’s Great Gift Pack of Blessings!
Countless people were envious of her. Only Li Yi scoffed at them all.
Although players were able to obtain an Epic-Level combat mount, which was an uber legendary item, the probability was one in some hundred million. Furthermore, not everyone was able to obtain it as only a few selected classes had the chance to even obtain one at all.
For example, Fire Ice had little ATK as she was a Light Priestess and she was only able to heal the others. Hence, the System had decided to bless her after cherrypicking and gifted her a Pegasus. If she were an ATK based class such as DPS or main tank, it would be impossible for her to obtain such a mount then…
This was the conclusion from players of the past life who had been through the events for eight years.
It was just a strategy to stimulate the players into buying more. Since the supporting class did not have much ATK, it would not affect the game’s balance even if she were able to fly freely in the sky.
As the video of Fire Ice riding on the glamorous pure white Pegasus was uploaded into the forum, the players’ excitement had been ignited once again…
“I’ve seen one in my dreams!”
“It’s so cool. It’s so beautiful…”
“Oh please grant me the strength, my wife. If I were to get a Pegasus, I will definitely give you my juice, seven times a day! If not, I will only give it to you once per month!”
Oh please grant me the strength, my husband. If I were to get a Pegasus, I will make sure you climax seven times tonight. If not, I don’t care if you’re a beast or a human, I will sleep with whoever for an entire year if you give me one!”
The World Channel was thrown into chaos as everyone was saying everything. The majority of the people plunged into tragedy as they had again spent tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions…
Countless Gold Coins went to the divine messengers. At least half of the people in the server were not able to pay for their repair fees by the second day of the ridiculous event.
As the player’s excitement was receding, a second wave had arrived.
[Player Windcloud Temptation had obtained a purple Swift Dragon mount. This incident has been recorded into the Hall of Fame and Windcloud Temptation had obtained the title Combat Cavalry.]
[Purple Swift Dragon mount’s passive skills consist of Bite, Crash, Tailwhip…]
The King of Pantheon was thrown into a frenzy once again after the System’s rainbow-colored spam…
…
Although the purple Swift Dragon mount was not able to fly, it was not inferior to the Pegasus mount as it had many passive skills. It would support the owner in attacking during combat. This was equivalent to bringing along another pet to battle…
Since the Sky Instance Dungeon was not released yet, it would be most practical to possess a land-based combat mount to the players.
The players were hyped up as another wave of purchases ensued. However, all of them had neglected to account for the fact that both Windclout Temptation and Fire Ice were both Light Priestess…
On the third day of the Ruler of God Appreciation Festival, countless people had gone bankrupt. The entire server’s Gold Coins in circulation had dropped by 70% and the rate of Gold Coins to the dollar had started to shift. It took less than half a day for the ratio to become 1 to 1.
Then, a rather big but negligible incident had occurred.
Hua Feiwu had spent 6,000,000 Gold Coins on the Great Gift Packs as he borrowed money from everywhere. At most, he had obtained a +10 Equipment Reinforcement Scroll.
The price of a +10 Equipment Reinforcement Scroll was at most 500,000 Gold Coins according to the market rate…
Borrowing money from the others was no longer an option for Hua Feiwu since he did not recover his capital. Since birds of a feather flock together, his friends fared no better than him as they too, had been borrowing money here and there in order to buy the useless Great Gift Packs. How were they able to lend him any money if they didn’t have any as well?
Hua Feiwu then set his sights on Milk Dipper Solitary after pondering for a while.
Hua Feihua and Milk Dipper Solitary were once classmates back in the day and both of them were engaged after graduating.
“Brother Solitary, do you have any spare money? I need you to lend me some ten million Gold Coins quickly.”
Hua Feiwu would never address Milk Dipper Solitary as brother-in-law as he had never respected him. This was because he believed that Milk Dipper Solitary was too old school and was not a good match for his sister…
Naturally, since he was the one who requested for help, his attitude was much better than usual.
“I don’t have ten million but I do have a few million.” Milk Dipper Solitary responded to him only for Hua Feihua’s sake.
“No problem!” Hua Feiwu nodded.
He was just like a gambler who had lost everything as he tried to win all of his money back.
Milk Dipper Solitary gave 500,000 to Hua Feiwu and the latter merrily went on his way. He chased after the divine messenger for an entire day and all he obtained was a bunch of +1 Equipment Reinforcement Scrolls.
“Brother Solitary, can you spare me some more money. I will return them to you in a few days.” Hua Feiwu returned to Milk Dipper Solitary for more money.
“I don’t have any left. I suggest you to stop opening those or else it will really do you in,” advised Milk Dipper Solitary.
“All I need to know is if you’re willing to give me money. I don’t need any advice.”
“I won’t give you any money.” Milk Dipper Solitary gave him a clear message.
“Fine. You’ll regret this!” Hua Feiwu stormed off.
“Hey sister, what’s so good about Chen Mo? Isn’t he just a little bit richer? You shouldn’t be afraid of finding a better man with your looks, right? Listen to your brother and dump him already.”
“Dump your *ss. He’s your future brother-in-law.” Hua Feihua pushed Hua Feiwu’s head with her long and thin finger.
“This man is too stingy. He wouldn’t even lend me any money. Oh by the way sister, do you have any money on hand? Lend me some so that I can buy some Gift Packs.”
Hua Feihua’s expression turned gloomy instantly. “I don’t have any as well. I’ve spent close to 10,000,000 Gold Coins and I’ve gotten nothing worthwhile. My Pegasus… Ah, this is driving me nuts!”
The siblings’ personality was not that far off…
“Why don’t you borrow some money from Chen Mo? Perhaps he would give it to you if you’re the one asking for it? He’s your husband.”
“I tried. All he gave was 3,000,000 and wouldn’t give me any more than that.”
“This man is too stingy!” Hua Feiwu complained out loud.
“Sigh… He wasn’t like this back in the old days.” Hua Feihua felt rather helpless as well.
Then, Hua Feiwu’s eyes started shining brightly. “Oh right, sister. You can try looking for Yang Xingchen. I bet that he will lend you some money if you’re the one asking!”
“Tsk. Stop mentioning that bastard in front of me!” Hua Feihua seemed rather irritated. “I’ve no idea what he’s been up to lately. He wouldn’t respond to me whenever I messaged him and he has changed his phone number. That man is heartless and a good-for-nothing. You better not speak with him and act like you don’t know this person.”
“What? That’s how he’s been treating you? Aren’t you two…” Hua Feiwu was shocked.
“What’s between him and I? Brother? Have you heard anything?” Hua Feihua stared at Hua Feiwu anxiously.
“No..Nothing. I’m just blurting nonsense…” Hua Feiwu immediately changed the topic.
“Sister, we have to think of an idea quickly. The event is about to end.”
“I’m thinking of one but Chen Mo isn’t willing to lend me any and I couldn’t borrow any more from anywhere. What else can I do?”
“Don’t you have savings? Why don’t you use that?”
“F*ck off. That’s my retirement fund and I’ll never touch it even if I were to die.”
“It’s an emergency. We will earn back all of our losses as long as we obtain a +16 Equipment Reinforcement Scroll.”
“No way no way no way.” Hua Feihua kept shaking her head.
“F*cking miser!”
“Sister…”
“I told you, no means no. Brother, I won’t be nice to you if you keep pushing me like this!”
“Sigh…”
[Player Abrodi had opened the Ruler of God’s Great Gift Pack of Blessing. Colorful light appeared as he had obtained a +16 Equipment Reinforcement Scroll.]
It was a System Notification from the Southern Continent and this had caused another stir among the players.
“What the f*ck!”
Hua Feiwu cussed out loud as he ran towards the Auction House to sell off every equipment he had on him in exchange for 3000 Gold Coins. Then with all of his hopes filled within him, he rushed towards the divine messenger.
“I refuse to believe that my luck is worse than others!”
Hua Feiwu was left with one cheap robe. He no longer had anything else valuable in his possession…
As Hua Feiwu was standing in the Auction House, he saw a figure among the crowd.
It was Dark Wing!
“Guild Master Dark Wing, why are you here?” Hua Feiwu ran towards him cheerfully.
“I’m buying some materials for my arrows.”
“Hehe, what a coincidence that I am able to meet you here.” Hua Feiwu was getting excited.
Li Yi looked at Hua Feiwu from top to bottom as he analyzed him. “Do you need anything from me?”
“Uhm… To me, it’s a life and death situation but it’s nothing but a small issue for you.” Hua Feiwu smiled sheepishly at Li Yi.
