Chapter 23: Every action has its effect, and I am your leader!
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Broken Bloody Pocket Watch", an exclusive equipment of the Alien series.]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "White Dazzling Night Cloak", an exclusive equipment of the alien system. ]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Barbarian Death Bone Knife", a skeleton-exclusive equipment. ]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Legacy Bow of the Windblowers", a universal equipment for the undead.]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Damaged Magic Book of Fire Joy", a summoning-exclusive equipment. ]
…
Xu Ercong was constantly drawing lots, and his life points were constantly decreasing.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...
One piece of blue equipment after another was drawn out. Every time a piece of blue equipment was drawn out, Xu Ercong would make the attributes of the equipment public.
His approach was well received by everyone, making the players extremely satisfied and enjoying the visual feast.
"Brother Cong is so generous! Unlike Ma Kesi, he hid everything and only showed us the attributes of seven or eight pieces of equipment."
"Who is Cong? He is the number one Death God! No, the number one Skeleton! He is the man destined to blast NPCs!"
"Brother, you must have made a typo, is it clubbing?"
“I didn’t make a typo.”
"Krypton gold is life, Cong Ge is the idol!"
Facing the players' praise, Xu Ercong remained expressionless and continued to draw the lottery.
He knew that although these equipment seemed extremely valuable at the current stage, as long as a large number of ordinary players caught up in level and wealth, the era when everyone could own blue equipment would be too far away.
These equipments are destined to be eliminated.
There would be no loss if it was made public now, nor would it be considered as letting competitors know the equipment information of the club's top players.
On the contrary, it can also enhance the relationship between the Dead Paradise Club and ordinary players and deepen the club's grassroots reputation.
To be honest, Xu Ercong doesn’t care whether the attributes of these equipment are made public or not, and he doesn’t even care about the value of these blue equipment themselves.
The only thing he cares about is the legion appointment letter!
"For the fifty-first time."
Xu Ercong took a deep breath. He had drawn the lottery fifty times in a row and only stopped now to take a breath.
Most of the players watching were silent, and everyone could see that Xu Ercong's expression was a little serious.
Xu Ercong had already received the inside information. The "777 Club", which had been silent and low-key, had also been purchasing a large number of life points. Their purpose was very clear, which was also the legion appointment letter.
Strictly speaking, Aotian Club is not an opponent, because Aotian Club has an indifferent and crazy attitude towards every game it gets involved in.
But the 777 Club is different. The old club has a keen eye. Once it recognizes the potential of a game, it will definitely invest a certain proportion of resources.
The 777 Club is certainly determined to gain the honor and momentum of becoming the first legion in the game.
If Xu Ercong fails to draw the legion appointment letter today, I'm afraid the title of the First Legion will be snatched away by someone else.
This is also the reason why Xu Ercong is nervous. He no longer has time to acquire more life points, and his financial arrangement does not allow him to continue to invest more money to obtain a legion appointment letter.
"The 71st lottery draw!"
Xu Ercong took a deep breath. He heard some players talking quietly.
"It's almost been a hundred times. It's not possible that I won't get the Legion Appointment Letter even after a hundred draws, right?"
"Impossible! The officials themselves said that if you draw a hundred times, you will get the appointment letter!"
"That's not necessarily true. If Congge draws a hundred times and still gets nothing, and the official just says it's a bug in the internal test data or something, wouldn't Congge be at a huge loss?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense! [Death Scourge] is still in the internal testing phase, and most internal testing games will have some bugs."
"Even if there is a bug, there should be compensation."
"But as long as the compensation is not a corps appointment letter, Brother Cong will still suffer a big loss."
The discussions of the players made Xu Ercong's expression even gloomier. Reason told him that this was impossible, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"The authorities won't be so disrespectful, right?"
"You never know. I seem to have pissed off the officials today. Maybe they will give me a warning."
Xu Ercong muttered to himself for a long time, and then slowly continued to draw the lottery.
This time he drew the lottery much slower, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"What an impatient young man." Xu Xiaofan leisurely observed the changes in Xu Ercong's expression through the divine system: "You still need some experience. How can you be the commander of the First Legion in this state?"
"After all, my legion commanders are all going to lead the undead scourge and follow me to conquer the various planes."
"Forget it, just treat this as an experience for you."
Xu Xiaofan smiled softly, "I said before that I will never give you the appointment letter before you win the lottery after one hundred tries. You must win the lottery after the hundredth try! Not even one less!"
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Bone Shield of Solidified Protection", a universal equipment for the undead.]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Barrier Guardian Helmet", a skeleton-exclusive equipment. ]
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Robe of Tenacious Life", a summoner-exclusive equipment. ]
…
New equipment was constantly coming out, and even Xu Ercong had already collected a complete set of "shiny black" blue equipment, the first set in the entire server, a boon for summoning professions, which ignited a climax among all the players!
But some careful players still noticed that Xu Ercong's expression was getting uglier and uglier.
"The ninety-eighth time."
Xu Ercong took a deep breath, scratched his head, and his fingers were trembling.
The live broadcast of the game on the forum had already started. The close-up of Xu Ercong's face made Ma Kesi from the Aotian Club sneer: "There must be a bug. You will definitely lose all your money this time!"
777 Club.
"The manager is smart. Let Xu Ercong be the test product first and let him try out whether there are any bugs in the lottery roulette. Even if there are no bugs, we will be second at most. It's not too bad."
"But now there's a bug. Xu Ercong has wasted millions of dollars! Hahaha!"
"Ninety-nine times."
Xu Ercong stopped, looked up in the direction of the Hall of Death, and muttered in his heart: "Hey, bosses, don't play with me like this."
"I've been so helpful in promoting, attracting players, and investing a lot of money, but you wouldn't even give me a letter of appointment to the Legion, right?"
"Don't hurt my feelings like this!"
Xu Ercong was a little scared, and when it came to the last move, he was not brave enough to do it again.
What if it really fails?
It’s not that Xu Ercong has a bad mentality. After all, he is just a young man. Although he looks kind, he is arrogant in his heart.
He placed all his bets on [Death Scourge]. This was a businessman's gamble and also a young man's enterprising spirit. His self-esteem would not allow him to fail.
"Boss, why don't you continue?"
Facing the philosopher's question, Xu Ercong did not answer, but lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Brother Cong, keep going!"
"This time it must be the Legion Appointment Letter, otherwise I will stand upside down and have diarrhea!"
"Yes, I'll give you a shout-out too. This isn't a letter of appointment. I'll eat the gaming helmet live on air!"
Players are very optimistic about Xu Ercong and are more confident than he is.
"This guy, is his mentality exploded?"
Xu Xiaofan frowned. He was very optimistic about Xu Ercong and also intended to support his position among game players.
If Xu Ercong was really upset by the lottery roulette, where can he find another game promoter who is so obedient and cooperative!
After thinking about it, Xu Xiaofan opened the divine system.
“Ding ding ding.”
"You have a new short message, please check it."
The reminder from the divine system woke Xu Ercong up. He opened his attribute panel and saw a message from a player whose ID was not displayed.
The content is very simple, only four words.
"One more time."
Players who don't show their IDs, I've never heard of such players existing.
Is this thinking?
This is already a clear indication, the only thing missing is telling you that there is some behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Xu Ercong smiled, became more confident, and started drawing the lottery.
The lottery wheel spun quickly, then slowed down. Everyone held their breath and looked at the lottery wheel nervously, as if it was the sacred moment when their wife gave birth.
Both the viewers in the live broadcast room and the players watching on site were immersed in this tension.
On the contrary, Xu Ercong, who was extremely nervous just now , looked very relaxed.
The pointer of the lottery roulette wheel stopped under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
[Dear player, congratulations on winning the "Undead Legion Chief Appointment Letter". With this item, you can enter the Death Hall, gain the approval of the Lord of Death, and be qualified to form an Undead Legion and unlock the Undead Legion's related game content. ]
As the prompt sound of the divine system fell, an extremely black parchment appeared in front of Xu Ercong, and it slowly floated to the ground.
Without waiting for the black parchment to fall to the ground, Xu Ercong couldn't wait to take it in his hand and looked down.
He took a deep breath, smiled slowly, and then announced the name and function of the parchment on the world channel.
"Fuck!"
“Oh shit!”
“Oh shit!”
The players were excited, everyone was extremely shocked, countless people opened their mouths wide and gasped.
The live broadcast of the forum also went from being quiet to being flooded with comments that covered the entire place, pouring out like a waterfall.
"That's awesome! Brother Cong!"
"Captain of the First Legion of Death Scourge!"
"This is the first legion in the game! It's not easy. Brother Cong must have invested at least several million dollars in it!"
"I surrender. I surrender to my brother Cong!"
The players were excited.
The 777 Club was silent.
Ma Ke's eyes turned red with envy.
Congratulations and messages kept appearing on the world chat channel. Throughout the game, all online players were extremely excited. Even offline players were sharing this important gaming moment in the game forums.
This represents a turning point for players in this game and the emergence of new game content. Of course, the main reason is that the wealthy Cong spent millions of dollars, which made people talk about it.
Different from the excited exchanges among ordinary players, Xu Ercong seemed much calmer.
From the moment I received the news to the moment I drew out the legion appointment letter.
Xu Ercong suddenly figured out something.
He has been completely tied to the Death Scourge, and all his strength and confidence actually come from this game with great potential.
…
The exciting lucky draw session came to an end and the members of the Paradise of the Dead dispersed one after another.
Early the next morning, which happened to be the weekend, the number of online players reached a new high.
The 777 Club made a public and high-profile appearance, sending a large number of members to the lottery wheel, claiming that they wanted to draw the second legion appointment letter.
These people came prepared. Xu Ercong proved that there were no bugs in the lottery roulette and that there would definitely be gains if they spent millions.
The 777 Club, which has always been committed to stability, will naturally not miss this opportunity.
It is already the bottom line for an old club to be second. It would be so frustrating to be squeezed to the third place.
The 777 Club also knew how to choose a time, taking advantage of the weekend when there were the most people, to imitate Xu Ercong's behavior last night, trying to build momentum and attract a large wave of popularity.
As a result, just when the 777 Club was preparing to draw the lottery.
A full-screen announcement for players worth 1,000 days of life points appeared!
Even players who are not online will receive this announcement after logging in! This is the charm of money!
"Hello everyone, I am Xu Ercong, and the First Undead Legion has been officially established!"
"We will set up a recruitment point in front of the Death Hall. The requirements for recruiting members are announced below. We hope that players who meet the requirements will come to the location as soon as possible. The number of members is limited, and it is first come first served!"
"The conditions and benefits are as follows..."
"Every action has its consequences, and I am your leader! Remember to join the first undead army of [Paradise of the Dead], muah!"
