Chapter 295: Chapter 249: Where’s the Guaranteed Pull in 10 Draws?
Star Dragon City, despite having spent over a year essentially completing the process of "de-undead-ization," had achieved this under the difficult circumstances of reduced production and consumption.
In such a situation, development and progress also became extremely difficult.
They wouldn’t starve to death, but one could forget about seeing new changes every day in their territory, as had been the case during the Undead’s presence.
The developments of Star Dragon City over this past year make it clear that without the Undead, it’s really difficult just relying on the local people.
The Undead themselves are a resource.
With their return, Star Dragon City gained a batch of cybernetically enhanced laborers, with livers on their backs — they don’t complain about hardship or fatigue, and while they earn little, they also have significant spending power, purchasing items without considering practicality.
Such types of residents are simply perfect.
Calamity had not disappeared from the north; every now and then a new Calamity Shadow Region would emerge, giving birth to new Calamities.
There is no place in this world absolutely safe.
In the past, Star Dragon Soldiers had to handle the Calamity Shadow Regions, often under tremendous pressure, where the slightest carelessness could lead to injury or even death.
But now that the Undead have returned, they, who fear not death and feel no pain, are just right for taking on the tasks in the Calamity Shadow Regions.
The Bunny-toothed Witch watched with a smile as the Undead busily worked, her hands not idle either, with her Magic Wand in hand spinning to become a blurring round fan, making a swishing rapid sound of wind.
Miss Miko was quite satisfied with the current results.
After Lind’s first successful operation of "Armand’s Trophy Warehouse," he began to conceive of a new prize pool.
Opening treasure boxes had its rules; not all the good stuff could be put in the same prize pool.
Stuffing too many good items into one prize pool would make the Undead think that they could get everything they needed from that one type of prize pool. The consequence was that the Undead would end up doing only one type of job, earning only one type of currency, and that would foster laziness among them.
Moreover, Lind’s principle was to only reap benefits without providing services.
To prevent the Undead from really being able to draw a bunch of good items in one go, he adopted the method of having one key item exclusively occupy a prize pool.
"Must-have rewards" in the prize pools were distributed among different pools, and if the Undead wanted to obtain all the key materials or equipment, they would have to invest more resources to farm each prize pool successively.
This would fulfill Lind’s original goal: to take advantage of the benefits brought by the Undead but to firmly provide no service.
When it was time for the culling of the Blood Lambs and the harvest of the Heart of Calamity, Lind had mentioned having Miss Miko release a Magic Potion material box. Moreover, Dome, Milan, Morena, and others could release boxes in the future.
Miko now could really understand the mindset of the Undead; getting something for nothing was indeed an addictive feeling. She had been getting everything for nothing while following Lind, never lacking any resources. The only difference was that she never needed to open any treasure boxes.
Getting the Heart of Calamity by opening treasure boxes, some people could strike it rich with a single attempt, which inspired others.
The vast majority might empty their Points without drawing the desired prize.
For Lind, as long as he harvested the Points, it didn’t matter who profited or lost.
Miss Miko had also completely grasped the essence of Lind’s treasure boxes, yet the only thing that somewhat worried her was that the items put inside were too cheap, fearing the Undead might turn against her.
However, the reality was completely different from what she had expected.
No one turned against her for drawing worthless Magic Potion materials; they just cursed Lind while asking Miss Miko to provide a basin of water for hand washing.
Why curse Lind? Although the idea came from him, the Magic Potion materials in the boxes were all put in by Miko herself.
"Damn, for real, pulled it in a single try?"
Suddenly, an exclamation erupted from the crowd, and everyone’s gaze turned toward the figure of a female Undead.
Romantic Bumbler held the Heart of Calamity in her hands, her face alight with a smile.
By her side, Ace Aimu clapped excitedly, truly deserving of her title as the number one fortunate player in the game, Romantic Bumbler — there wasn’t a prize she didn’t win!
"I still have two boxes," Romantic Bumbler said.
The next box revealed four bottles of Blood of Madness, which drew exclamations from the crowd; these were large bottles of Blood of Madness—a vital ingredient for AFK farming, not as precious as the Heart of Calamity, but still a rare and valuable potion.
Even many of the Undead considered the Blood of Madness as their "waking potion," for they really couldn’t fight, but just by drinking the Blood of Madness, they could instantly burst into powerful combatants, an addictive feeling.
When the last box was opened, another Heart of Calamity appeared!
"Damn it!" Someone couldn’t help but curse.
You just can’t compare people.
"It’s my turn!" Seeing Romantic Bumbler’s triumph, Ace Aimu’s heart was also filled with excitement.
He had lots of points, and with Romantic Bumbler’s luck on his side, he was sure to win.
Rubbing his hands confidently, he started drawing!
One box, two boxes... nine boxes, ten boxes.
All Magic Potion materials, not even a bottle of Blood of Madness, his Points were all wasted.
"Where’s the guaranteed drop after 10 draws?!" Ace Aimu felt furious inside.
The worst thing between people is comparison; compared to Romantic Bumbler, he seemed to have the worst luck.
Ace Aimu could only grind his teeth and continue opening boxes until he spent all his Points and finally managed to draw his own Heart of Calamity.
At that moment, he was moved to tears.
"I finally got it!"
Miss Miko’s Magic Potion material box prize draw continued.
Ace Aimu and his companion had already left; they had upgrades to do now.
...
Lind contacted Star Dragon City through the Shuttle Gate and learned about the situation within the territory of Star Dragon City.
Indeed, a large number of Undead had poured in, and of course, he’d seen such news on the Officials’ forums.
He needed to understand the situation of his own territory in more detail, ensuring that no accidents would occur.
Upon hearing that Miss Miko had ingeniously applied his method of prize drawing to her own lottery and succeeded, he was even more delighted.
As for the immature parts in Miss Miko’s prize pool drawing, Lind insisted on having them corrected.
First, there was an issue: Miss Miko had set the item probabilities too low.
"Giving something good as a guaranteed drop after 10 draws is fundamental," Lind emphasized, "people must win."
If you draw thirty or forty times in a row without even a guaranteed drop, it could indeed cause the Undead to break down.
The other parts were also small details that need attention.
It seems for future draws, he needs to be present personally.
Although the small Shuttle Gate had been opened, Lind just treated it as an opportunity for a face-to-face chat and had no intention of crossing over.
After hastily deciding on the follow-up actions, Lind disconnected the transmission link of the Shuttle Gate.
He was still very busy.
