Chapter 226: Cassius's Secret Treasure (Part )
Facing this rare big customer, the snake woman showed a bright smile that made people feel numb all over, and said tenderly:
"Yes, guest."
She was about to send the strong ogre to bring the box over when she heard Charlotte's voice.
"No, I don't want the boxes you gave me. Can I choose my own?"
"what?"
The snake woman looked puzzled, but said politely, "No problem, but it shouldn't make any difference."
“What a huge difference!”
Charlotte pushed her glasses up pretentiously and said confidently, "Haha, according to the official plot, since it is the 'Gift from Cassius', there must be something good hidden inside."
"But given the nature of the officials, will they let you easily draw the good stuff? What if the people in front of you draw all the good stuff, what will happen to the garbage behind you?"
Charlotte pointed to the boxes, her eyes reflecting confidence, and he spoke loudly.
"So this box must be made to make a lot of money from you first, to make back the cost, and then let you ship it. But they never thought that I would choose to cut off the source of funds!"
"Everyone, please wait and see what it means to win half a step over the heavens!"
The onlookers heard Charlotte's well-reasoned words and believed them.
"Damn, he's worthy of being the president of a big guild, he's quite capable."
"That makes sense. I'll follow him and buy some later."
"What a big shot! He has figured out the mechanism. No wonder no one has shipped the product before."
However, Cassius watched all this in the palace, feeling a little amused and helpless: "You are probably overthinking it. I didn't do anything shady. If you buy it normally, won't it be delivered?"
"My dear God Suit, where are you?"
Charlotte went to the deepest part of the store and browsed through the identical boxes. She pretended to think deeply for a moment, and finally carefully selected and pointed out a box.
"Haha, it looks like the first blue outfit is about to appear."
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Charlotte suddenly opened the box and a white light came on.
"Shh-"
[Ogre's hide coat]
Quality: None
Item description: Rough clothing made of wolf skin, worn by ogres for years. It exudes a fishy smell and may be used to drive away annoying neighbors.
Countless expectant eyes focused on the animal hide surrounded by flies. The crowd suddenly fell silent, with even occasional boos.
"how is this possible?"
Charlotte's eyes widened in disbelief.
Looking around at the crowd full of suspicion, he deliberately coughed a few times and explained, "Even I can't always guess right. You know, shipping is a low-probability event. What's more, I still have nine boxes here. Just keep an eye on them!"
He picked and chose again and selected a box that looked pleasing to the eye.
The box was opened again.
Everyone stretched their necks to look.
[Rackman Noble's Whip]
Quality: None
The whip found from the basement of the ancient castle silently records the cruelty of the Rackman family to the people.
Charlotte's face suddenly darkened. He noticed everyone's gloating looks and forced himself into a pale smile.
"Ahem, ahem, this was also an accident. I still have eight boxes."
Eight boxes were opened one after another.
[Smelly leather shoes of the hobgoblin], [green headscarf of the kobold vendor], [old bone club of the lizardman], [pants of the orc].
"How can it be--"
Charlotte stood there in a daze, feeling a mouthful of blood spurting out.
He actually produced eight pieces of rubbish and low-quality equipment in a row. Even beggars on the streets of North Wind Castle would not want these things, and he spent a full fifty gold coins!
The players who were watching were stunned, whispering to each other, and lamenting his gloomy face.
"You are a pure African chief."
Some even spoke bluntly, causing the crowd to laugh.
Being laughed at by hundreds of people, Charlotte, who always cared about her appearance, suddenly became anxious and blushed. She couldn't help but explain, "What do you know? I am collecting data. I use this method to calculate the official probability, and finally find the loopholes in the lottery and calculate the pattern of shipping these boxes. Now my goal has been achieved, and I will be able to ship the boxes soon."
Everyone was so impressed by his clear and logical arguments that they were actually fooled by him.
But soon someone realized something was wrong and deliberately asked loudly: "Then why don't you show us something and prove it!"
"That's it!"
"Buy another one and show it to us!"
The people who came to watch the fun were immediately outraged.
Charlotte's face flushed, she gasped, and she clenched her teeth before she finally made a decision.
"Snapped!"
He slammed the table, took out fifty gold coins from his backpack, slapped them on the table, and shouted in high spirits, "Ten more!"
"I've found a loophole in the lottery. Since there's no guarantee for a single draw, I'll just do a ten-draw streak!"
"Oh my god, he's really rich!"
"As expected of him."
Just like that, ten carefully selected boxes were brought over by the ogre, and opened at the moment Charlotte gave the order. This spectacular scene made many players marvel.
"There are countless wizards from ancient times to the present. I don't know how many of you have become gods. Anyway, I pray to you devoutly here. Please let me ship the goods!"
Charlotte gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.
However, immediately afterwards, an even more unbelievable scene appeared. Ten white lights lit up in unison, projecting onto Charlotte's glasses and making his life-despairing face pale.
Pants, tops, headscarves, capes, these white clothes can even form a complete set of luxurious beggar's suit.
"How is this possible? How is it possible that there is no good equipment, not even green equipment?" His legs suddenly became weak and he collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself:
“My entire year’s savings.”
The beautiful snake woman even stepped forward to support Charlotte and reminded him kindly in his ear, "Guest, if you still want to buy, we can provide loan services here."
"In view of your outstanding contribution, the annual interest rate is only 5%."
"What the hell"
Charlotte, who was sitting on the ground, was so angry that she almost fainted.
The players watching were either sighing, gloating, or feeling fortunate.
"It's a good thing I didn't buy it. This thing is such a rip-off."
"Yeah, what secret treasure? I think it's a garbage dump. Even if I buy twenty of them, they're all garbage."
"As expected of Charlotte, you took a risk this time. We will remember your contribution."
Cassius watched this scene and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Could this activity that has been prepared for a long time be aborted?"
"This guy is too ridiculous! Even if it's a random selection, there can't be nothing in 20 boxes!"
He wanted to slap him in person and tell him to just drive normally and ship the goods.
You have to know that he was relatively restrained this time. After all, when it comes to making money, one must also pay attention to sustainable development and take long-term operations.
What if we scare the players off the first time and their enthusiasm declines in the future?
Therefore, Cassius thoughtfully guaranteed the players' expectations and put at least a dozen good rare equipment in it, so as to attract more players into this big pit after the official launch of the server.
By then, those old beta test players will boast in the forum, "I bought the blue equipment with only five gold coins!" Those new players will surely be envious and eager to try.
In this way, a steady stream of leeks will voluntarily jump into the pit.
However, Charlotte's unlucky nature was beyond his expectations, making him doubt his dragon life.
Then several more players tried, but they were all misled by Charlotte and randomly picked from the inventory, and in the end they all got white light without exception.
“This is a real pit.”
"Blood and tears lesson, don't buy it."
The "Flying Witch" felt itchy when looking at those beautifully decorated boxes. She loved collecting these strange little gadgets and mixing them into potions that were too painful to look at.
After holding the gold coin in her hand for a while, she decided to buy one.
"You have to try everything. Just treat it as a server shutdown event. Even if nothing works, it can be used to comfort the president. He is really a bit pitiful."
She didn't hold out any hopes, she just wanted to join in the fun.
The snake woman serving in front asked, "Guest, do you want to choose your own box like them?"
The flying witch smiled and waved her hand: "No, I'm just joining in the fun, just give me one."
"Here, here you go, exactly five gold coins, no more, no less."
Although it was only five gold coins, she still felt a little painful and looked at the gold coins with reluctance.
The snake woman chuckled and put the gold coins into the cabinet, then asked the ogre to move the box over.
In this way, the box that was supposed to be opened by Charlotte was moved in front of the Flying Witch.
She opened the box casually.
"Wow--"
A crisp sound was heard, and a dazzling blue light shone through the gap.
A luxurious magic wand inlaid with seven colorful crystals lay quietly in the box, emitting a rich magical aura.
【Magic Wand】
Quality: Rare
Item Description: This wand contains 7 charges. While holding this wand, you can cause a target to cast a spell. The target can be a creature, object, or point in space.
The effects of spells will be generated randomly, including spells such as [Slow] and [Smelly Cloud], as well as spell effects such as "turning skin bright blue" and "shooting out a torrent of gems".
"Surprising? Unexpected? This is magic, endless surprises and changes!" - said the Archmage Trinaide after studying the Chaos Sea.
"what?"
The flying witch opened her mouth in shock.
The crowd watching was silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar. They wanted to see a joke, but they never thought that someone would actually ship the goods!
"Damn, it's shipped!"
"Rare! It's a rare piece of equipment! It's also the most valuable magic wand. I'm afraid you won't be able to get it without thousands of gold coins!"
"Europeans take my spear!"
"Xuan can't change fate, and krypton can't change right and wrong!"
Charlotte, who was feeling sad in the distance, was also attracted by the noise. She looked over half-deadly, and found the blue suit in front of the flying witch. Moreover, the box seemed to be the one he was supposed to open.
"Youyou Cang Tian, how can you treat me less favorably?"
Charlotte suddenly felt herself spurting out a mouthful of blood, and wished she could just lie on the ground and end her life.
The flying witch felt the burning gazes of the crowd and felt a little embarrassed.
Soon, she spotted Charlotte not far away, and waved to him excitedly, wanting to share the good news with the president who had helped her to upgrade.
"President! Here, I'm shipping!"
"Don't call me president anymore."
"Call me Chief, you shameless European. There is a sadly thick barrier between you and us Africans. Goodbye, no, farewell forever."
Charlotte collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
He could only slowly close his eyes. He was already unconscious and almost dying.
