Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 67
Chapter 67: The Prize for Ten Consecutive Lucky Draws
Kant was no longer a stranger to the lucky draw organized by the system’s store.
On his retina, a dialog box popped up, in which a colorful treasure chest that seemed to contain infinite wonder stood.
He instinctively swallowed his saliva.
If he chose to take part in the lucky draw and spend the Honor Points he had, the treasure box in the pop-up window would be opened, and, along with colorful lights, all sorts of big gift packs that the system offered him would appear. It was quite amazing.
Currently, Kant had 11 Honor Points, meaning that he had 11 draws.
Thinking about the generous rewards he received in the past, Kant’s eyes lit up. he had never gotten anything bad in previous lucky draws.
The system’s products must be of high quality.
These were not just empty words, they were drawn from his very own profound experiences.
Letting out a breath, Kant said, “Draw. ”
His thoughts contacted the system.
But just as he was about to draw, a dialog box suddenly popped up.
[ Ding… System’s notification ]
[ According to the system’s rules, you would receive an additional random gift pack for 10 consecutive draws. ]
[ Yes/No, would you like to do 10 consecutive draws? ]
It was the system’s dialog box, but Kant was startled when it popped up at that very moment.
“10 consecutive draws for an extra random gift pack? ”
He had just woken up and was still a little confused.
The consecutive draws reminded him of a popular online game in his previous life.
“This activity seems pretty good. ”
Kant pinched the bridge of his nose, and his expression returned to normal. He couldn’t help but grumble in his heart, “No matter how I look at it, it still seems to be tricked consumption…”
Moreover, the temptation was hit right on the spot.
Kant’s heart was stirred. He nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes, I choose 10 consecutive draws! ”
Weren’t the Honor Points meant for lucky draws?
Kant now needed to convert all his resources into strength.
10 consecutive draws to obtain an additional random gift pack. To Kant, that was pure profit. He would not reject it.
He was not a fool who would miss a cost-effective opportunity like that.
[ Ding… The system’s lucky draw begins. ]
The dialog box popped up.
The treasure box opened slightly, and the colorful light became even more dazzling.
At that very moment, the dialog box popped up one after another on Kant’s retina.
[ Ding… You have acquired a Prop Pack. ]
[ You opened the Prop Pack and found the “Page of Fertile Soil” (Rare Item)]
[ You opened the Prop Pack and found the “Page of Spring Water” (Rare Item)]
[ You opened the Prop Pack and found the “Sun Disk” (Rare Item)]
The Prop Pack appeared first.
Kant frowned. The names of the three items that appeared sounded rather familiar.
However, before he could think about it, dialog boxes continued to appear on his retina.
[ Ding… You have acquired the “Construction Pack”]
[ You opened the Construction Pack and found the “Desert Bandits’ Camp” inside. ]
[ You opened the Construction Pack and found the “Training Ground” inside. ]
[ You opened the Construction Pack and found the “Stone City Wall” inside. ]
[ You opened the Construction Pack and found the “Sugar Workshop” inside. ]
Four new Construction Packs appeared in the dialog box.
Moreover, new dialog boxes continued popping up on the retina.
The consecutive lucky draw went on.
[ Ding… You have acquired the “Hero Pack”. ]
[ You opened the Hero Pack and found “Manid”, an exquisite merchant from a noble merchant family, the Nord family. ]
However, one dialog box appeared this time.
It was a golden card that represented a hero.
When Kant glanced at the name, excitement glimmered in his eyes.
This lucky draw seemed to be of great value.
[ Ding… You have acquired the “Military Equipment Pack” ]
[ You opened the Military Equipment Pack and found a “Recruit’s Equipment: Hunting Crossbow”]
[ You opened the Military Equipment Pack and found “Military Supply: Bread”]
The 10 consecutive draws finally stopped.
The dialog box did not continue to pop up. The list of gift packs was already quite lengthy.
However, Kant was still waiting.
He knew that there should be an additional gift pack.
As expected, a system dialog box popped up again.
[ Ding… You have acquired the “Army Pack” ]
[ You opened the Army Pack and found “20 Ravenstern Rangers” from the Ravenstern Kingdom. ]
All 11 gift packs were opened.
And in Kant’s mind, 10 Honor Points had also disappeared.
But it did not mean that this is the end.
There was still one Honor Point, as well as… an incomparably bountiful harvest!
“There is always a silver lining.”
Kant’s mouth was wide open, his heart was trembling violently.
The 10 consecutive successful draws were out of his expectations, causing him to be rather clear-headed now. He no longer had the drowsiness caused by fatigue from before, and he was extremely excited.
He was so excited that it felt like thoughts were exploding in his mind!
Kant did not expect this.
He did not expect that the harvest this time would be… So Bountiful!
It was ten times or even a hundred times more than what he had lost in the battle.
His losses had been made up for by these consecutive draws!
“Three rare items, four buildings, a hero, two types of military equipment, and a troop… ”
Kant swallowed his saliva.
He took a deep breath, but the excitement was still written all over his face.
Even with his temperament, he could not maintain his composure at such a time.
“I really didn’t expect this. ”
Kant shook his head, his lips were decorated by a bitter smile.
He was mocking himself for his excitement.
However, looking at the densely packed list in the system’s dialog box on his retina, he instinctively clenched his fists. “This time… This time, I’m really rich. ”
He took out the three rare items.
Kant finally knew why he thought that they were familiar.
Those were the three relics with mysterious powers that he had seized from the Jackalan tribe.
***
[ Page of Fertile Soil (Incomplete)]
[ This page with mysterious symbols on it seems to be torn from a certain book. However, it still has mysterious power and can communicate with the mysterious plane of the Earth Element. Every seven days, it can summon a small group (5-10) Earth Giants. Remark: Since the page is incomplete, the summoned creature can not be controlled. The summoned creatures are very likely to be hostile. ]
[ Page of Spring Water (Incomplete)]
[ This page with a mysterious symbol on it seems to be torn from a book. However, it still possesses a mysterious power and could communicate with the mysterious plane of the water element. Every seven days, it could summon a small group (5-10) of Water Giants. Remark: due to the incomplete pages, the summoned creatures can not be controlled. The summoned creatures are very likely to be hostile. ]
[ Sun Disc (Damaged)]
[ This golden disc engraved with mysterious patterns faintly holds the power of the Sun. However, probably because a long time has passed, the mysterious engravings have become blurry and the disc cannot bear any more power. However, it can still absorb sunlight if it was placed at a great height. ]
[ Special Function: Temperature Control: Absorbs sunlight during the day and lowers the temperature within 500 square meters. Releases sunlight at night and raises the temperature within 500 square meters. The constant maximum temperature is 30 degrees. The lowest temperature is -5 degrees. ]
***
Kant froze.
It was indeed the mysterious power.
When the system absorbed the relics, it did explain their power, and now they had been proven.
But Kant didn’t expect that these magical items would reappear in front of him after being absorbed by the system.
“There’s still one thing that hasn’t appeared. ”
Kant thought of the gemstone on the staff and also discovered the difference.
He didn’t care.
Perhaps the system used the gemstone as energy and directly absorbed it. He was already very happy being able to get back the other three items.
His thoughts communicated with the system.
The card that was still floating in his mind instantly shattered into pieces and turned into rays of golden light before disappearing.
However, when Kant lowered his head, two papyrus-like pages appeared in his hands. At the same time, a 1-meter-long golden disc appeared at his feet once again.
It was no longer dirty like it was before. It looked brand new.
There were all kinds of mysterious symbols and carvings on it. Although the disc was heavily worn, the symbols were still visible.
“This really belongs to the Lost City. ”
Kant licked his lips.
Although he could not understand the symbols on the two pages, he thought that they were similar to the hieroglyphs of the ancient Egypt and China. They had a very distinct pictorial nature, and he could guess what the symbols stand for.
Especially when he looked at the golden disc, the introduction on his retina was very detailed.
Swallowing his saliva, Kant muttered in his heart, “Temperature control? This is clearly the power to manipulate the Sun!”
Scattered records mentioned that the Lost City was closely related to the Sun.
Even the book that Scholar Hank gave him clearly recorded that the Lost City, the city made of gold, used to be the home to the Sun God’s descendants.
Now Kant finally understood why the Lost City would be located in the desert.
