Unreliable Sword Immortal

Chapter 8: Refined Equipment

Zhao Weike counted the other prizes and received novice wooden swords, refined iron ingots, brass ingots, black iron ingots, and so on.

After counting all the prizes, his face turned dark.

Not to mention the "Void Jade," the only decent item was the "Two-Star Fashion Upgrade Scroll," which can upgrade a one-star fashion item to two stars, but he didn't get any fashion items at all.

"The Heavenly Authority, Earth Spirit, and fashion items are the hardest to obtain!" Zhao Weike shook his head and sighed, "After tonight, the tutorial instance will be gone, and the Lion Dog only drops materials. It won't be easy to get lottery tickets anymore. My hundred consecutive draws are not as good as the initial ten draws. Sigh!"

"Ah! Tomorrow we won't be able to farm lottery tickets in the Lion's Den anymore?" Wang Yingluo cautiously walked up to the Destiny Platform. "Fortunately, I've been grinding with the captain all day... I'm going to draw the lottery. Wish me luck, everyone!"

At this time, Lu Chaoding also frowned. He knew that the tutorial instance in the Boiling Blood Lion's Den would disappear after one day, but he didn't expect it to be gone by tomorrow morning. He didn't know if there would still be instance quests or completion rewards by then.

By now, Wang Yingluo's lottery draw had ended, and her luck was surprisingly good. She got a blue light and twelve green lights.

Unlike Zhang Defa and the Defense Department, this female player started counting from the white items.

"Compressed Biscuit"

"Red Bean Bun"

"Xiaolongbao"

"Mountain Spring Water"

After counting a total of 87 white items, most of which were food, Wang Yingluo moved on to the green light orbs. She first clicked on a two-star "Green Jade Sword," followed by a "Practice Experience," a sachet pendant, a kite back piece, "Sword Saint's Certificate," and so on.

As for the last blue light orb, she clicked on a three-star martial skill book called "Sacred Heart Technique." The effect of this skill is to consume one point of battle intent and distribute it to teammates, gaining two points of battle intent at the start of the next round!

Wang Yingluo was overjoyed.

Under the Destiny Platform, Zhang Defa was so frustrated that he felt like spitting blood. He roared, "This is so unscientific! Why are there so many good things? All I got were food and materials!"

Zhao Weike also felt a bit envious and said, "Comparison is the thief of joy. Sakura, your hundred consecutive draws are amazing. You have skills, weapons, pendants, and back pieces. You only lack the Heavenly Authority and Earth Spirit. Oh, and you even got the Practice Experience, which is worth 500 cultivation points!"

There was still one participant who hadn't drawn the lottery, Gu Xiaoxiao. She was getting a little impatient and shouted as she ran up to the Destiny Platform, "It's my turn, it's my turn! Watch me draw a five-star divine sword!"

She quickly used her lottery tickets and got 89 white lights, 10 green lights, and 1 blue light.

"Oh dear, which light orb should I click on first?"

Gu Xiaoxiao took her time and spent over ten minutes to finish counting the items she drew. Most of them were food and materials, and among the two-star items, she got a "Gentle Breeze Sword," a "Golden Snake Sword," a "Combo" skill book, and a bottle of "Boiling Blood." The blue light item was the material "Charging Jade," and the rest were not worth mentioning.

Overall, her luck was pretty good.

After these four people finished drawing the lottery, Zhang Defa was undoubtedly the most frustrated. He kept complaining, but Zhao Weike said, "We should have a team spirit. In order to progress through the instance faster, I suggest that everyone take out what they drew and distribute them reasonably."

"I agree!" Zhang Defa immediately raised his hand and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao. "Little sister, you got two two-star weapons. Can you lend me one? And Sakura, why don't you give the pendants and back pieces to the captain and arm him?"

Zhao Weike was quite satisfied with this suggestion and nodded with a smile.

However, Wang Yingluo and Gu Xiaoxiao were not happy. Despite calling each other captain affectionately before, they now firmly refused. Wang Yingluo said, "This won't work! These are not public items. There's no reason to take them out and distribute them for free."

Gu Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, I disagree with the captain's suggestion! I worked hard to get these items. How can I just give them away for nothing?"

At this moment, Lu Chaoding raised his hand. He was about five meters away from the four of them and shouted, "I suggest free trade. If you want something, buy it with money or trade it with something else!"

"Huh?" Wang Yingluo looked at Lu Chaoding and said, "Lu Chaoding's suggestion sounds more reasonable!"

Gu Xiaoxiao also followed, "If it's a trade, I can accept it too. Zhang Defa, I can sell this 'Gentle Breeze Sword' to you for 50 gold coins. Is that okay?"

"Well..." Zhang Defa gave Lu Chaoding a fierce look but didn't give an answer.

50 gold coins, he had only earned 100 gold coins after grinding for a day. He couldn't judge whether it was worth it or not.

Zhao Weike was about to speak, but Lu Chaoding suddenly ran up to him and directly sent a trade request.

[Trading], [Teaming up], [Storage space], and other abilities are basic skills that players have from the beginning.

Zhao Weike was taken aback. He had just wanted to close the trade window and reprimand Lu Chaoding, but then he noticed an item in the trade window.

"A Sailor Dress?"

He was instantly shocked.

At this moment, Lu Chaoding hurriedly said, "I obtained this fashion item by chance. It has an excellent style and additional attributes. It can be considered very rare. How about it? Can I exchange it for your [Void Jade]?"

"This is women's clothing!"

Zhao Weike could now see the attribute information of the Sailor Dress, and his eyebrows furrowed.

Based on his experience, one-star fashion items are usually plain and do not have any additional attributes. It was indeed rare for this Sailor Dress to have a bit of defense and speed.

Lu Chaoding said, "What's wrong with women's clothing? Women's clothing can also be worn. Strength is supreme, enhancing one's own strength is not embarrassing. Didn't you just draw a two-star fashion upgrade scroll? Think about it, once this one-star fashion item is in your hands, it can immediately be upgraded to two stars. The attributes won't be much different. I'm only exchanging it for your useless Void Jade. This is a good deal! If you're not willing, I can sell this fashion item to Wang Yingluo and the others. I guarantee they'll fight to buy it. Do you believe me?"

Zhao Weike fell silent for a moment, then placed the Void Jade in the trade window.

"He actually agreed!"

Lu Chaoding was somewhat surprised. After confirming the trade, with a "ding" sound, the Sailor Dress in the storage space was replaced by the Void Jade.

"What a brave guy!" Lu Chaoding said, "I respect you, my man! Let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

Feeling delighted, he went to find Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao had drawn a bottle of [Boiling Blood], and the blood material was used to refine the Refined Peasant Sword. Lu Chaoding planned to buy it from her with gold coins.

After Lu Chaoding turned around, he didn't notice the faint contemptuous smirk on Zhao Weike's face.

"Lu Chaoding, this guy has a problem. How did he get the fashion item? What is he doing with the Void Jade? He's arrogant now, but does he know that the night is dark and full of terrors?"

This closed beta player's eyes flickered as he secretly made plans.

By now, Lu Chaoding had already started chatting with Gu Xiaoxiao. This female player was very cautious and meticulous, afraid of being taken advantage of. Lu Chaoding haggled with her for a while before finally buying the bottle of [Boiling Blood] for 20 gold coins.

"I wonder how much purchasing power gold coins have. Did I make a profit or a loss with this deal..."

Lu Chaoding was quite satisfied at this moment. With many people around and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't plan to draw any more prizes. So he silently went to Niu Daren's side and started refining the Refined Peasant Sword.

"Ding, are you sure you want to consume the Boiling Blood to refine the Refined Peasant Sword? Reminder: After refining, the item will be bound!"

"Yes!"

"Ding, refining successful. You have lost one bottle of Boiling Blood. Refined Peasant Sword refined +1, attack +10!"

"Only a 10-point increase in attack? This refining effect seems average!"

Lu Chaoding shook his head and continued refining the Ghost Face Axe.

"Ding, are you sure you want to consume the Void Jade to refine the Ghost Face Axe?"

"Yes!"

"Ding, you have lost one piece of Void Jade. Ghost Face Axe refined +1, additional damage from breaking resilience +200!"

"Huh! This effect is pretty good!" Lu Chaoding felt delighted.

At this moment, the sky noticeably darkened, and Xiao Ning, Zhang Jiaqiang, and Xiao Panpan also walked over from a small path.

Niu Daren's body trembled, and he finally spoke, "Junior brothers and sisters, come over here. I brought some supplies. Let's see if there's anything you need!"

The system announcement followed, "Ding, temporary camp NPC Niu Daren has opened a supply shop. Supplies will be refreshed at 6 p.m. every evening. The quantity is limited and can be purchased with gold coins. Please explore for more details."
