Chapter 224 Server Shutdown Celebration
The square of Beifeng Fort was already bustling with activity.

“The best red wine in Northwind Castle!”

"Frostwolf fur coat, a luxurious decoration for northern nobles."

"The Rackman fine steel sword, the favorite weapon of the former ruler of North Wind Castle! Now I sell it with tears, for only 180 gold coins!"

"Looking for teammates to play together after the server opens. No Wild Warlocks! No Wild Warlocks!"

"The guild is recruiting! Magic coins, the fantasy town for all wizard lovers."

The players gathered together as if for a festival, shouting non-stop. They wore gaudy costumes, some even went naked, cheering noisily in the square, and posing in some unsightly postures.

Even those residents who were accustomed to the chaos caused by the Falling Stars closed their doors and windows, fearing that their children would be led astray by these crazy guys.

However, many citizens who smelled business opportunities set up stalls in the square, ready to make a fortune from these inexplicably excited guys.

Mantou rode on the back of the wyvern, overlooking the players singing and dancing, with mixed emotions.

"Alas, the internal beta test is finally coming to an end. I'm a little reluctant to let it go."

"Why are you being so sentimental? Won't you be back in a month?"

Singo took a sip of his wine and couldn't help but mutter.

Mantou retorted: "What do you know? I just can't bear to leave the noodles. I came back in a month. According to the official announcement, more than four years have passed in "Erezagai"."

He stroked Feilong's slender neck and couldn't help muttering:

"Noodles, Noodles, in these four years, you have to wait for me to come back and don't go looking for other knights without permission. That kind of shameful behavior is called Minotaur in my hometown, and it is a serious crime..."

"Ow—"

The wyvern let out a brisk howl, obviously not understanding what he was saying.

Singo was a little amused when he heard Mantou's words, especially when he saw his serious look, he almost spit out the wine.

Only then did Mantou notice the beautifully packaged cocktail in his hand. His eyes widened immediately with a look of disbelief.

"Fuck, are you crazy? Have you also been possessed by a spirit?"

"What's all the fuss about?"

Singo glanced at it disdainfully and continued to sip his wine.

Mantou said, counting all the treasures:
"This is the famous 'Fire Witch's Kiss' in the Sleeping Mermaid Tavern. It is said to be the most expensive wine. Just one bottle costs twenty gold coins. It is said to give people a stimulating feeling like being with a succubus, and it does not have any enhancement effects.

"A miser like you who cares nothing about anything other than improving your strength actually buys something that is purely for the enjoyment of life!"

He drew his sword and pointed it at Singo, saying:

"Tell me! Who are you? Where is the real Xin Gou?"

Singo sneered and said, "Don't be crazy. This is a treasure given to me by Alger himself as a reward for my contribution to the Red Scale Conquerors."

"Well, would you like a drink?"

Mantou's eyes suddenly widened and his face became extremely flattering.

"Xin dog, not Xin dad, I'll just have a taste."

"Alright, look at your useless look. Wait for me to call Zhan Kuang, Qiu Yu and the others, and we'll find a tavern and drink until the server is shut down."

"Okay, okay, if you don't drink, I'll report you for drunk driving."

The two of them landed on the ground one after another, flipping over and diving skillfully.

"Yo, you're here."

Xia Ye Qiu Yu and Tian Sheng Zhan Kuang had been waiting here for a long time, and the black and blue-faced Langli Baitiao was also here.

Mantou was a little confused: "Brother Lang, you are well-informed. Where did the Mechanicus go? Why didn't I see any of them?"

He didn't ask about Langli Baitiao's injuries. After all, wasn't it normal for this guy to be beaten?

Langli Baitiao's face was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made people sigh at the powerful recovery ability of the vampire's physique. A gloating smile appeared on his pale face. "You mean Iron Frenzy and the others--"

"Haha, I'm busy handing over the work. The Mechanicus's food processing plant, military manufacturing plant and other projects have received the focus of the kingdom's top leaders. Since last month, they have been busy training the natives in the factory and handing over various tasks. They are not allowed to leave work until the task is completed.

“I guess they are still working overtime to explain the operation steps of the equipment to the indigenous people.”

“What a bunch of ruthless people.”

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Mantou's forehead.

He couldn't even imagine working at such a high intensity for a month straight. It seemed that these crazy people in the Mechanicus were the real slaves and they deserved to do this job.

"Moreover, Iron Frenzy was discovered by the prosecutor to have embezzled public funds to build private armor. Now he is heavily in debt. If he doesn't work hard, he might even lose his position as guild leader."

Xia Yeqiuyu added ruthlessly.

Mantou sighed and thought to himself:
“Maybe this is the price of pretending to be cool.”

But when I thought of Iron Tide laughing wildly while driving his armor, I felt that all this was natural and he deserved it.

"Look, what kind of activity is that? Why are there so many people?"

The natural warrior looked at the crowd gathering in the distance, touched his bald head, and suddenly became curious.

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of server closure benefit?"

"Go and have a look."

Mantou and others also became interested and immediately stood up to take a look.

Relying on his tall and strong body, the natural fighter pushed his way through the crowd and finally found several beautiful snake women there. Behind them were hundreds of beautifully decorated metal boxes.

"In order to thank you for your great contributions to the kingdom, Lord Cassius has taken out precious treasures from his treasury and generously rewarded them to you heroes."

"You know, Lord Cassius's grace is rare, so please come first, first served."

"It only costs... a few insignificant gold coins."

The soft and charming voices of the snake people made people's heads soften, but what was even more exciting was the metal box behind them.

A panel appeared on the box.

Special Item: [Casius' Secret Treasure]

Chance to obtain [Common] ~ [Rare] level magic equipment.

(Note: Each box costs 5 gold coins)
"Fuck, isn't this just drawing a card?"

"Is there a guarantee?"

"Today I will show you what it means to be a European emperor!"

"I can't bear it anymore. I'm ready to go all out!"

The players were initially attracted by the beautiful snake woman, but after seeing the information about the boxes, they immediately created a bigger sensation.

Some players who have been immersed in the card drawing game for a long time have their hands trembling slightly, and their brains are almost unable to control their evil hands that want to draw cards to pieces.

This kind of lottery gameplay can be said to be the root of all evil. Various game manufacturers have made a lot of money through this means, and countless players have been cheated by it, but it is still enduring, and people continue to flock to the trap.

Regardless of whether the players make a loss or not, the dealer will never lose money.

This is naturally what Casius carefully prepared for the players. These beta test players still have too much money in their hands. If this continues, how can they work hard for themselves after the server is launched?
This is the last harvest of the player leeks before the server is shut down.

You should know that [Rare] level magic equipment requires at least hundreds of gold coins, and at this stage only large guilds or professional players can afford it.

But the "secret treasure" that costs 5 gold coins each is different. Players with a little savings can afford it, and they can even buy several by gritting their teeth and selling their property.

And just by doing this, you will have the chance to get those [rare] equipment that even big guilds covet. In the eyes of some players with a strong gambling nature, this is simply a great deal!
just in case
That lucky person is me?

This is what countless onlookers think.
