Chapter 186: Legendary Soldier, Lucky Gambler

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Firstly, to form an alliance, one had to first create a guild. Thinking of this, everyone was depressed to death.

Originally, if they could establish their guild and fight for the third or fourth place, they could still enjoy a certain amount of privileges. Now, even if they had a guild token, they would not have any privileges at all. They were no different from ordinary small guilds and their attraction to the players would also be greatly reduced.

Li Cheng would not care about these things, nor would he care about the opinions of others.

At this moment, his gaze landed on his event points—473,947 trillion!

This was an extremely terrifying number. Even Li Cheng could not help but gasp when he saw it. Just this number alone could empty the shop many times over.

Moreover, this was an activity shop that could only be opened by players who successfully defended their territories from the monster siege. In other words, this shop belonged to Li Cheng alone.

At this moment, Li Cheng directly opened the shop.

“Ding, dong, please choose the Directory you wish to browse.”

[1. Army type.]

[2. Materials.]

[3. Consumables.]

[4. Equipment.]

…

Just like the Directory of the last shadow activity shop, Li Cheng first checked the army type page.

[1. Barbarian warrior (Tier 2)]

[2. Ogre warrior (Tier 2)]

[3. Gnoll Crossbowman (Tier 2)]

[4. …]

Li Cheng was not interested in these low-level garbage soldiers. He immediately scrolled to the bottom of the page where he saw the last military type.

[Lucky Gambler (Legendary)]

“It’s this…?” Li Cheng was stunned.

In his previous life, Li Cheng had attacked the temple of the Goddess of Luck, so he happened to know the attributes of this soldier. This was a very special soldier and it was completely based on face.

These things were unimportant. What Li Cheng cared about was if he bought these soldiers in one go, would he be able to obtain their recruitment rights?

Thinking of this, Li Cheng did not hesitate to buy all of them.

When he clicked [Confirm], the system notification rang in his ear.

“Ding, dong, you’ve consumed eighty billion activity points. You’ve successfully bought five hundred thousand Lucky Gamblers!

“Ding, dong, for unknown reasons, this purchase has been replaced with the Lucky Gambler’s Recruitment Authority!

“Ding, dong, you’ve unlocked the new building, Lucky Tavern!”

Hearing the notifications ringing in his ear, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. It was just as he had guessed. If he bought all the soldiers in one go, he could obtain the recruitment authority for these soldiers.

At that moment, another thought popped up in Li Cheng’s mind. Did all events have this rule?

Otherwise, why was it the same as when he bought soldiers off the shadow event shop last time?

With the recruitment authority and the effect of the Hourglass of Time, he could produce unlimited units.

Li Cheng placed the new building in his territory. Then, he leveled it up and checked its attributes.

[Lucky Tavern]

[Description: A tavern that gathers the best gamblers in the world. It is rumored that the Goddess of Luck is famous here, and gamblers are often taken care of by the Goddess of Luck.]

[Level: 10]

[Daily Output: 0/2000]

[Production type: Lucky Gambler (Tier 12)]

[Production cost: 3,000 gold coins]

[Production time: 30 seconds]

[Required to level up: Max level]

Like all Legendary soldiers, one could only produce 2,000 Lucky Gamblers per day. Thinking of this, Li Cheng immediately began his operations.

“Ding, dong, you’ve used six million gold coins and recruited two thousand Lucky Gamblers!

“Ding, dong, you’ve successfully used the Army Spawn Rate card!

“Ding, dong, you’ve used gold coins…”

The recruitment authority and the Army Spawn Rate card were used consecutively and the 4,000 Lucky Gamblers were quickly recruited.

Suddenly, a large group of gamblers appeared in front of Li Cheng. They wore strange capes and cowboy hats on their heads, and they had big cigars hanging from their mouths.

Li Cheng checked their attributes.

[Lucky Gambler]

[Description: a fanatical gambler who has spent many years in the casinos of all planes. Their deeds have spread throughout the entire continent.]

[Level: 1]

[Attack: 580-640]

[Defense: 135]

[Grade: 12]

[Race: Human]

[HP: 9,000]

[Skill 1: Lucky Strike (Max)]

[Effect: The Lucky Gambler possesses the blessing of the Goddess of Luck. During normal attacks, there is a 30% chance to deal double damage, a 20% chance to deal triple damage, a 5% chance to deal five times the damage, and a 1% chance to deal 100 times the damage.]

[Skill 2: Luck Diffusion (Max)]

[Effect: During normal attacks, there is a 30% chance to strike 10 enemies at the same time, a 20% chance to strike 20 enemies at the same time, a 5% chance to strike 50 enemies at the same time, and a 1% chance to strike 1,000 enemies at the same time.]

[Skill 3: Lucky Treasure (Max)]

[Effect: when killing enemies, there is a 30% chance to get double the amount of gold coins, 20% chance to get triple the amount of gold coins, 5% chance to get five times the amount of gold coins, 1% chance to get 100 times the amount of gold coins.]

[Morale: 100]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Food consumption: 1,000 food/day, 50 gold coins/day]

Looking at the Lucky Gambler’s attributes, it was exactly the same as what Li Cheng remembered. Without a doubt, this was a very powerful long-range attack army.

However, their damage was very unstable. All three skills were related to probability and they were max-level skills that could not be upgraded.

The first two were damage skills. As they were maxed out, it would definitely deal explosive AOE damage.

However, if he was unlucky and did not manage to trigger those skills, then they would be trash skills. These Lucky Gamblers would be like normal soldiers only with slightly higher attributes.

As for the third skill, it was a very powerful skill that could help him earn some money. With this skill, the ability to earn money would be very powerful.

However, to Li Cheng, this skill had no effect at all. He had too many gold coins, so many that he did not know how many he had currently.

Moreover, as unruly gamblers, the loyalty and morale of the Lucky Gamblers were not high. In addition to food consumption, they had to give each of them 50 gold coins a day as a reward.

Just this alone was not something that ordinary players could afford. In any case, they were not as obedient as the elven ladies, and they were not as hard-working either.

If it was those elven ladies, Li Cheng could completely relax and let them carry out their missions. However, these gamblers had to have other combat units to hold the line.

Nevertheless, Li Cheng was not the slightest bit worried. He had so many powerful troops. Was he afraid that they would rebel?

Li Cheng did not hesitate and directly equipped them with the Profound armor. Since there were many of them, all the troops would have the same armor!
