"That’s a real sha, this belongs to the lowest tier of ghost carriages, it’s worthless. If it were carried by a Ghost Officer, then it would be worth noting."
The Know-It-All Ghost shook his head and sighed, "Undead Skeleton, you can go next door to the Pet Store and exchange this ghost carriage for so Ghost Coins, at least you won’t be working for nothing."
"Ah?"
Su Ran didn’t expect this situation, which made him quite disappointed. The little ghost carrying the carriage seed so rare, who would have thought it turned out to be worthless? He found it hard to accept this fact, but he understood that the Know-It-All Ghost wouldn’t deceive him; the ghost minion was really too low-level, dragging down the carriage’s attributes.
Sigh, this is purely fate playing an absurd joke on !
Su Ran didn’t feel like staying any longer. After saying goodbye to the Know-It-All Ghost, he quickly went to the Pet Store. Although this ghost carriage wasn’t useful, it was worth a fair amount of Ghost Coins, at least serving as a consolation prize.
"Overturning Water brother, why are you only here now? I’ve been waiting so long the flowers are wilting!"
Banana had been waiting at the Pet Store for so long, looking forward to seeing Su Ran. He pointed to the roulette wheel in front, "Brother, look, there’s even a Ghost King mount on this wheel, with a success rate of 5%! Just 10 Ghost Coins per spin, how’s that, cheap right?"
"Cheap? You’ll know if you try."
Upon hearing the ga rules, Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle, "Those 100 Ghost Coins of yours aren’t enough for splurging, be careful not to let greed lead to big losses!"
Only ten Ghost Coins for a chance at the Ghost King mount, is that possible?
At least Su Ran didn’t believe it.
This kind of ga trick was all leftover stuff played by penguins, no need to explain why; those who understand, understand.
"How can it be? There are so many rewards here, pet eggs, mounts, so many prizes; any one of them should be worth 10 Ghost Coins, right? The empty prize only has a 1% chance, I refuse to believe I’ll be that unlucky!"
Banana said eagerly, looking at the wheel with fiery eyes.
"1%? Haha, just that bit of chance is enough to make you doubt life."
From Banana’s expression, he must have made up his mind, and Su Ran knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would have no effect. Only by hitting the wall himself would he likely give up.
Su Ran took a look at the indifferent Pet Store owner, choosing not to say more. After all, continuing to persuade would be akin to cutting off the owner’s inco, which could easily offend this NPC, and when he sold the ghost carriage, he might find himself on the receiving end of a passive-aggressive trick.
"How is that possible, brother, just watch!"
Banana couldn’t hold back anymore, handing over all 100 of his Ghost Coins with a bold statent, "Boss, give five spins!"
"Please."
The Pet Store owner said no more, gesturing for Banana to spin the wheel.
"I don’t believe it, I’m not going to land on that 1% chance on the first try!"
It sounded like Banana was talking to Su Ran, or maybe to himself, and he forcefully spun the wheel.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The wheel spun rapidly, the scene blurring into one, becoming a phantom. After about thirty seconds, the wheel stopped, and the pointer landed right on ’empty’.
"Damn, am I really that unlucky?!"
Banana rubbed his eyes in disbelief and then deflated, "Brother, you were right, I should have listened to you; this is obviously a scam! Such a rip-off!"
"You didn’t think about how mismatched the rewards and costs are; there has to be sothing fishy! Forget it, these 100 Ghost Coins are not much, treat it as a lesson, keep spinning."
Su Ran didn’t let the NPC hear, sending the ssage in text instead.
"That’s all I can do."
Banana took a deep breath, regaining his spirit to continue spinning the wheel before him.
"Empty."
"Empty."
"Empty."
All four subsequent spins were empty, causing Banana to completely blow up.
"Boss, this is not fair; a 1% chance and I hit it four tis in a row, I suspect you’re doing false advertising!"
"Probabilities are unclear to anyone, it’s all about luck. In this situation, it’s just bad luck."
The Pet Store owner was completely unfazed, as if it wasn’t his business, casually brushing off the complaint.
"..."
Seeing the NPC so indifferent, Banana could only accept reality. Thankfully, it was just 100 Ghost Coins, not a big loss, and a lesson learned. He vowed never to touch such deceptive things again; if he did, he might as well chop his hand off!
"Banana, there’s still one more chance, don’t waste it; maybe you’ll get sothing this ti."
"Alright."
Banana no longer hesitated, holding the wheel firmly and spinning his last chance fiercely.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The wheel slowed down, finally stopping at the pet equipnt spot.
"Ding! Congratulations player Banana, you have drawn pet equipnt, Fine Steel Ghost Claw!"
The system notification sounded, making Banana first stunned, then overjoyed, exclaiming excitedly, "Brother, I hit it, I got it!"
"That’s not easy, finally not wasted, send the pet equipnt over and let see."
Su Ran could already guess, the system wouldn’t be too cruel; it had to give players a taste to lure them in for the long haul. As for this piece of pet equipnt, it probably wasn’t top-tier, since losing money is sothing the system wouldn’t do.
Sure enough.
Just as Su Ran expected, the Fine Steel Ghost Claw only added 10 attack points, with a 3% damage bonus to ghost pets. But since Banana didn’t even have a ghost pet, the damage bonus attribute was purely decorative.
However, pet equipnt is very rare; even with just 10 attack points, it could sell for quite a few coins, covering the cost of the 100 Ghost Coins.
"Spirit, the attempts are used up, would you like to continue?"
The NPC’s voice ca at the perfect mont, striking at Banana’s heart, even making Su Ran, as a bystander, tempted to give it a try.
"You’re not going to fool again, I’m not playing anymore!"
Banana quickly declined, no matter how top-tier the Ghost King mount was, he wouldn’t fall for it again. Most importantly, he had no Ghost Coins left; even if he wanted to fall for it, he didn’t have the financial ans...
"Brother, it’s ti to go."
Banana was ready to leave, eager to get out of there quickly.
"Wait a minute, I still have a task to do."
Su Ran walked up to the NPC and respectfully asked, "Senior, do you accept special equipnt?"
"We only accept pet equipnt and pet eggs. As for other equipnt, no matter how great, we don’t take it. Please sell it at the store next door."
The NPC was very professional, completely unlike the Evil Ghost Prophet, showing no interest in the special equipnt Su Ran ntioned.
"Then... how about ghost carriages?"
"Ghost carriage?!"
The NPC was visibly moved, asking in shock, "You have a ghost carriage?"
Banana, standing nearby, also sensed sothing was off. This ghost carriage should be the one carried by the ghost minions. He didn’t understand, why was Overturning Water brother selling the carriage when they hadn’t even found the mirror yet?
Short on money?
Surely not?
"Exactly."
Su Ran could also understand the NPC’s feelings now. After all, ghost carriages only refreshed once a month, and encountering one was entirely by chance. Who would be willing to sell a hard-earned ghost carriage?!
But he decided to do just that.
"We certainly do, hurry and bring it out for to see!"
The NPC excitedly jumped out from behind the counter, waiting for Su Ran to take out the ghost carriage.
"Brother, are you okay? Weren’t we supposed to uncover the secret of the little ghost carrying the carriage? Why sell it?"
Banana hurriedly intervened, afraid Su Ran would sell the ghost carriage.
"The secret doesn’t matter anymore, I’ll explain it to you later."
Su Ran brought out the ghost carriage ornant and handed it to the NPC in front of him.
"Such a pity, such a pity!"
The NPC shook his head in regret, "It’s just the lowest grade ghost carriage. Human, I’ll offer you 500 Ghost Coins for it, what do you say?"
"500 Ghost Coins, sold."
Su Ran didn’t expect to sell it for so much, and he didn’t hesitate, deciding to sell the ghost carriage. Then, he waved a hand, "No need to give those 500 Ghost Coins, just spin 50 tis!"
"Brother, what’s gotten into you? You were just advising to stop, but now you’re falling into the trap!"
Banana felt pained for those 500 Ghost Coins, not even in his hands yet, and already squandered; he’s even more wasteful than !
"Got them for free, no pain!"
Su Ran grinned, "I trust my luck, just wait and see!"
