Chapter 841 - Hope From the Prizes
Chapter 841: Hope From the Prizes
As the lucky draw continued, everyone there started to clench their fists as they looked on in anticipation.
Many of them had been hoping to get any one of the gifts, with some of the elites even targeting an A Rank Earth Soul.
Ultimately, an A Rank Earth Soul could potentially determine how strong players become in the future. That was because of how the Heaven Realm formed can become even more powerful upon obtaining an A Rank Earth Soul, as a player reached Heaven Realm Greater Completion.
After some time, the second round of lucky draws concluded as well, resulting in another ten players receiving their prizes.
Unfortunately, the chances of someone getting one were still very low, since only 10 out of 2 million players would be chosen in each draw.
The 10 players who were just selected had come from many different places. Among them were those from the Xingyue Area and also the Leisi Area. It seemed that these gifts even interested those from the Tianmo Area as well, as one of the winners had originated from there.
Then, Jiang Feng prepared to draw for the third round of gifts, declaring, “The next gifts are three Heaven Ranked Secret Manuals, Li Shizhen’s Skin.”
The crowd roared.
“It’s mine, it’s mine…”
“It’s mine!”
“The Heaven Ranked Secret Manual will be mine!”
…
Upon hearing this, many people started to grow restless, while some members of the Squadrons even cried out in excitement.
Many of the players had longed to get a Secret Manual as they were vital tools for players to become stronger. This was even more true for the Heaven Rank Secret Manuals that had just been announced as the prize. In fact, even most elites didn’t own more than a few of them, which only showed how sought after they are.
As everyone watched eagerly, Jiang Feng announced the winners of the three Secret Manuals.
“Ruoka,” “Heidashuai,” and “Maosikate.”
“Congratulations to all three of you!” Jiang Feng exclaimed loudly as he looked at the three names.
As the lucky draw went on, all the other players who were not chosen yet awaited their turn keenly. The number of his fans kept increasing steadily and never came down. At the moment, the total was already at 2,230,000.
…
For Jiang Feng, the items that he used as gifts could be considered a drop in the ocean as he could always get more of them. However, to the players that weren’t as powerful or rich, the lucky draw was their only hope of getting stronger.
Ruoka, for instance, was a young doctor from a hamlet called Fengye Village.
He was also a player like everybody else, but had entered the game with responsibilities. As he was much younger than most and had no previous experience to build on, Ruoka was also much weaker than others who had similarly entered with their real bodies.
Even though he could barely kill any monsters or survive in the wild, he still willingly came to fulfil his duties. Fortunately for him, he had been able to arrive here safely through the use of the Spirit Bridge. He then settled down, and used his knowledge of medicine to become a doctor in the village. Ruoka had been hoping to earn some money here so that he could buy some herbal medicine. He could only leave this place once he was rich enough.
However, when he saw the words on the back of the Huaxia Squadron’s uniforms during the competition earlier, excitement overwhelmed him.
‘I have to get some of those gifts!’
As that thought crossed his mind, he took out a herbal medicine that emitted a soft, golden light. It was a small fruit with two golden leaves sprouting from the middle.
Luck Fruit: Special Herb
After consuming it, your luck will increase by 30 points. Can only be used once by each player.
To get the gift from the draw, Ruoka had decided to eat the most valuable Luck Fruit he had in his possession. His boyish face stared at the spinning wheel with anticipation, hoping that his name would appear.
However, Ruoka had felt slightly disappointed when his name didn’t appear in the first round.
When the same thing happened in the second round, he started to become nervous.
Finally, his name appeared during the third round of selection. He was so ecstatic that he immediately cried out.
“Haha! I finally got one! It’s a Heaven Rank Secret Manual no less! With this item, I can finally leave!” Ruoka laughed as he cried tears of joy.
When he opened up his backpack and saw the pelt inside, Ruoka was speechless.
At that moment, the system’s voice once again rang in his ears.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Congratulations. You have received the “A Rank Earth Soul” and the “Squadron Member Slot” prizes from Jiang Feng’s lucky draw. You may go and accept your gift at any time.
As he held Li Shizhen’s Skin in his backpack with tears in his eyes, the system’s voice sounded once again. This time, it completely caught him off guard.
“I got it again! I got it again! Hahaha! I really am lucky when my Luck is maxed out!”
His initial Luck had already been 70 before he consumed the Luck Fruit. However, after having eaten it, his Luck had reached the maximum value of 100, which made him luckier than most of the players there.
Because of this, he had even managed to get three gifts from the prize pool, with 2 of them being some of the highest ranked items in the game.
Even when no amount of money could have bought an A Rank Earth Soul or a Squadron member slot in the Huaxia Squadron, Ruoka had managed to get them both.
“I have to master this Secret Manual as soon as possible before seeking out the captain in Fengyang Town.”
Nevertheless, there was no Tianji Hall in Fengye Village. There was one in a town around 25 kilometers away, but Ruoka would encounter plenty of monsters on the journey there. At his current level of power, he would likely find himself killed before even reaching the town.
He needed to master the Heaven Rank Secret Manual as soon as possible and learn some talents before he could travel through that danger zone and reach the Tianji Hall.
…
All the gifts had finally been distributed as Jiang Feng stood in the arena. The number of his fans had also reached 2,540,000.
This meant that he had obtained around 10 million worth of Reputation Points, which would be sufficient for the time being. Furthermore, he had also been able to do some charity work.
“This guy named Ruoka is quite lucky to have been chosen three times. Congratulations, and I welcome you as part of the Huaxia Squadron!
“Haha! Thank you for your subscriptions, everyone! We’re going to end our lucky draw here today! When the number of fans reaches 5 million, I will start another round of lucky draws! And among the gifts will be a Secret Treasure! We encourage everyone to continue subscribing to us!”
In order to maintain his subscriber count, Jiang Feng had promised to hold another round of lucky draws.
However, the next lucky draw would not be taking place any time soon. By his estimation, the number of fans would only reach 3 million today at best.
Though there were plenty of players in the Great World of Tianji, not everyone would be logged on everyday. They would often take time off or return to their planets.
Jiang Feng was in no rush, however. All he wanted was to keep everyone engrossed.
“Captain Jiang, you really are generous. You even planned to offer a Secret Treasure as a prize in the lucky draw. You really have enticed me.” Mocangli from the Twin-Cloud Planet gave him a thumbs up.
He had also managed to get picked in one of the lucky draw rounds and had received a Low Heaven Beast Pill. While it might not have been the best out of all the gifts, it had still left him feeling quite thrilled.
“I’m simply returning what I got from them,” Jiang Feng replied, who in a way was telling the truth.
With so many Reputation Points, he could draw even better things through the lottery system. It could even help him send a lot of things to Earth that would increase its average power level.
The expenditure for all these items had not put a dent in his wallet at all.
Additionally, he already had 10 Secret Treasures with him. What would it matter for him to give up only one of them as a prize for the next lucky draw? After all, Reputation Points were much more important to him.
“Can we start our match now?” Mocangli asked.
“Of course. But since you’ve gotten something from me, can you go easy on us?”
“Nope! There’s no reason for me to go easy on you just because I got something from the lucky draw!” Mocangli exclaimed.
When he heard this, Jiang Feng didn’t know how to respond.
He wasn’t afraid of the Twin-Cloud Squadron. However, with several more difficult battles awaiting him after this, he didn’t want to spend so much effort fighting Mocangli. If there was a way he could make the fight easier, he would take it.
“Fine, prepare for battle!”
He shrugged and prepared to fight. Though everyone had been suppressed to the Peak Earth Realm, members of the Huaxia Squadron now possessed Earth Souls and could use them as they wished.
However, it was already too late for the Twin-Cloud Squadron when they noticed the stats of their five opponents. They finally believed that Jiang Feng had the ability to create A Rank Earth Souls after they noticed that even each one of the other members had one in their possession.
They were all shocked beyond belief!
