Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 55 End
Standing under the "Heroes Monument", watching my name engraved on it, and accepting the cheers of the crowd with my friends, I have never felt such a sense of satisfaction. It is not only for the honor I have achieved, but also because I have used my ability to help my friends. People always hope that their existence has value. This victory is such a great comfort to me who has fallen to the point of having to eat for free!
The result of the competition between Yamato Spirit and Goryeo Warriors for the third place was beyond most people's expectations. In terms of strength, Yamato Spirit had a slight advantage, but losing to us twice in a row and failing to enter the finals seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to their morale. They performed obviously abnormally in the battle, with many coordination errors, and were finally overturned by Goryeo Warriors and won the game. In this way, the Xue Wuxia team, the Longxing Tianxia team and the Goryeo Warrior team won the first, second and third places in this competition. After a grand award ceremony and receiving the award certificates, the "First World Hero Conference Eastern Continent Division Team Competition" officially came to an end.
The audience has dispersed, but we cannot leave for the time being. The award certificates and the names on the monument are all fake. The "Hundred People Order", "Ten People Order", and varying numbers of lottery opportunities, these substantial rewards are still waiting for us to claim!
The most anticipated thing is the chance to draw a lottery. If you don't miss it, you can usually get a piece of earthly equipment. If you are lucky enough to draw a top-level equipment, it will definitely take your strength to a higher level. The champion team has five chances, the runner-up team has three chances, and the third-place team has one chance. What you get depends on your luck. Especially us, we have the opportunity to draw a top-level artifact, while the runner-up and third-place can only get a lower-level artifact at most. Even if you are lucky, you will not get an artifact.
Each team quickly nominated people to participate in the lottery. He would definitely be the one in the Goryeo warrior team, and he, Bai Yunjian, and Bajiugaoge would naturally be in the Long Xing Tian Xia group. After a brief discussion, we decided that Xue Wuxia, Afeng, Diewu, and Yun Wuying would participate in the lottery. Three of them were hidden professions, and two of them were the strongest. Anyone who drew a good equipment could play its role to the maximum extent.
The lucky draw ceremony was held in the lucky hall specially set up by the "Heroes of the World". Only one person could enter at a time. Only you knew what you got. The third place would be the first, and the champion would be the last. Just as the Korean warrior was about to enter, he suddenly heard a system prompt sound of "ding dong". The system announcement sounded in his ears: "Congratulations to the player for the highest honor of winning the first artifact "Holy Cross" in "Tianxia"!" It is an extremely glorious thing to be able to obtain an artifact, which represents the gift of the gods to the world. The appearance of each artifact will be announced by the system, which is also a disguised warning to other players - the other party has an artifact to protect themselves, and those who are not strong should try not to provoke them.
The sudden news stunned all of us. It came so suddenly, and the artifact that everyone had been longing for just showed up. Compared to the calmness or envy of others, I had an additional worry. This supreme honor belonged to the Knight of Light of the hostile force, who might very well become my mortal enemy. His original strength was already strong enough, and now he was lucky enough to get an artifact, which made him even more powerful. The fate of me, an undead wizard, is worrying!
A Feng turned around with an envious look on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that my face looked rather ugly. After a pause, he also thought of this and gently patted my shoulder. "Don't worry too much. We haven't started yet. We are all lucky to win the championship this time. Even if you can't do it alone, there are still four of us. We will help you if anything happens. Besides, even if the draw is not , it's no big deal. There is still a long time to come, and who knows what will happen. I'm not asking you to duel with him now, why are you so sad?"
What Afeng said makes sense. I am a little too worried. I am just scaring myself! Fighting against the Church of Light is not my responsibility alone. Why do I always use the Supreme Honor as an imaginary enemy? He and I are not opponents of the same level. Why not let someone stronger than me deal with him? Those who are capable should do more work. I don't want to shoulder such a heavy burden without such great strength. After thinking this through, I smiled at Afeng and felt much more relaxed.
The lottery started. We watched the Goryeo warriors and Long Xingtianxia go in one by one with a little nervousness, and walk out expressionlessly and leave here. We felt even more nervous. We didn't know what the result would be, and whether they got anything good. These people were really experienced. They hid their skills so well without making any sound, making it impossible to guess.
Finally it's our turn. To own a magic weapon is the goal of each of us. If we have the best, no one will settle for a worse one. Maybe after failure, we will say some self-comforting words, but everyone is full of hope until things are confirmed.
Xue Wuxia got a "Thunder Bracelet", which increased the release speed of thunder magic by 30% and the magic power by 15%. It is a heavenly weapon second only to the holy weapon; Die Wu drew a ring, which can quickly release the third-level magic "Ice Shield" without consuming her own mental power, but it can only be cast five times a day. It is an earthly weapon one level lower than the heavenly weapon; Yun Wuying got three "Revolving Ice Arrows" with a freezing slowing effect. The most important thing is that they can be recycled. When hitting the target or exceeding the range, they will automatically fly back to the user's hand. It is also an earthly weapon; Afeng was the luckiest one, as he got a special equipment "Heart-Protecting Bronze Mirror". Hanging it on the chest, it can reduce the damage from frontal physical attacks by 30%. Although it is a heavenly weapon, it cannot be crafted and can only be obtained from the system through tasks or events. Its properties are excellent, and you can equip two pieces one in front and one behind, so it is a very rare kind of protective gear.
Although I tried my best to keep calm, I was still hesitant and didn't dare to move forward. It dragged on until the end. Now I was the only one left. My heart beat faster and I was very nervous. None of the four of them could draw a divine weapon, not even a holy weapon. How lucky could I be? What kind of item could I draw? I was eager to know the result, but I was also a little afraid of the result. I pretended to be calm on the surface, but I was very nervous inside.
Suppressing my excitement, I walked into the Lucky Hall. It was empty inside, except for a large screen for lottery and a prize table. The items drawn by the players would immediately appear on the table. In order to eliminate any interference from external factors, there were no NPCs in the Lucky Hall, and everything ran automatically according to pre-set programs.
He took a deep breath and slowly stood at the starting white aperture. He tapped the language selection option with his toes and confirmed the Chinese language. The lottery program was officially launched, and a line of words appeared on the big screen, "Please state your name and occupation."
"My name is Ah Dai, and I am a necromancer by profession."
"Please report it again for confirmation."
"My name is Ah Dai, and I am a necromancer by profession."
"The lottery will begin now. The screen will stop when you say 'stop'. The item that appears is your prize. You only have one chance. Good luck!"
After a one-minute pause, the subtitles disappeared, and the big screen began to flash rapidly. Objects flashed by one after another, so fast that I couldn't distinguish anything at all. I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and shouted, "Stop!" At this point, I had no choice but to take a gamble. If I couldn't get a divine weapon, I would be satisfied even if I was lucky enough to draw a holy weapon.
Before I opened my eyes, I heard a system notification sound, followed by a system announcement: "Congratulations to player Ah Dai for obtaining the second artifact in Tian Xia, 'Touch of Death'!"
Artifact, "Touch of Death", I got it? I almost couldn't believe my ears, and subconsciously looked at the prize table. A glove appeared on the table. It was black, crystal clear, and emitting black light. Is this the "Touch of Death"? I looked at the big screen. The object on it was indeed the glove. There were four big black characters clearly marked next to it - "Touch of Death", and then a bracket with two big golden characters in it - "Artifact". Under the glove pattern, there were a few lines of small characters, explaining the function of the glove - it was worn on the left hand of the god of death, and it contained mysterious power. It could emit a black mist to absorb the target's mental power into itself and replenish its own mental power. It was called "Absorbing Essence and Devouring Marrow", and it was a special item for undead wizards.
This is all true. I am finally convinced of everything in front of me. The excitement at that moment is indescribable. The second magic weapon in "Tianxia" must be worth a lot of money if I sell it. In this way, I can be self-reliant and don't have to eat and live for free at Afeng's place. Maybe I can even make a small fortune, haha!
