Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Wealthy Tycoon Dabbles in taphysics, and the Loafer Will Never Get Ahead! Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Wealthy Tycoon Dabbles in taphysics, and the Loafer Will Never Get Ahead! “Yo! Hurry up and do it!!”
An impulse almost made Chu You instantly use the Maya Soul Stone to transform the Master-level weapon. At this mont, his heart is pounding wildly, the blood is rushing to his head.
Jiucaier reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the weapon and looked up at the tall man beside her. Her eyes imdiately fixed on the beautiful stone that Chu You held in his hand.
“What are you doing?”
Chu You didn’t respond, his eyes were shifting rapidly, he seed to be having a hard ti making a decision.
Seeing his hesitation, Jiucaier had a sudden insight — this man was in an exceptionally emotional state. Why would that be?
The reason for Chu You’s hesitation is this: in his past life, there was a mysterious theory; if a player got a piece of equipnt and wanted to transform it, then the mont that piece of equipnt fell into their hands, they could use the Maya Soul Stone to transform it, and the success rate would be around 60%. Why?
Because, according to this mystical theory, the ‘luck’ of a new piece of equipnt is chaotic and unclear when it lands in the hand of its new owner, the cause and effect between them hasn’t been established yet. At this mont, if the new owner promptly attempts to transform it, a magical occurrence may happen, and transformation might be a success!
In his past life, players stread their process of following this theory, to test out the success rate. Yes, it turned out to be roughly 60%.
What stopped Chu You from instantly transforming his item was the fact that, in his past life, those who live-stread this thod only used Viscount Level equipnt and transford it into a Platinum one, but he has never seen anyone use this theory with a Master-level weapon.
Bear in mind that this was a Master-level weapon he was holding, if successful, it would beco a Sacred Level Weapon!
Though the level was low, it was of the highest grade!
With a sigh, he realized his cultivation was not enough for such a mystic theory— unrestrained, lacked confidence.
He decided to find a comparatively reliable mystic thod, dealing with intangible ‘luck’, he felt novice!
However, Chu You had a plan, it was to pay a price, for his purposes. In this theory, he had confidence.
What price, and what strategy exactly?
Seeing the determined look in the man’s eyes, Jiucaier figured he must’ve reached the crux of his problem.
Indeed, the very next mont, he started speaking.
“Cai’er, let’s go to the Golden Grandpa.” Chu You declared.
“Why are we going there?” Jiucaier asked, bewildered.
He smiled softly at Jiucaier and said in a gentle tone, “You need to be at level 12 to learn from that skill book of yours, right? I will make you reach level 12!”
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but Chu You seed tender at this mont. Was.. that a loving gaze?
Of course, Jiucaier she’s rather lucky, has a treasure basin. Chu You received a tradition in his past life through her!. Though it was through trading it did not stop Chu You from recognizing Jiucaier for her contributions. If not for this woman, he may have waited a long ti for the true owner of this Elental Mage’s Sacred Weapon. By that ti… this weapon might have been ‘mouldy. ‘
Indeed, to so extent, Jiucaier provided the necessary conditions for Chu You to beco a God even faster. Most noteworthy is that all of this happened during the early stages of the ga.
Uh-huh, Chu You was internally pleased. Because of Jiucaier, his Sacred Weapon got its due value at the very start of the ga!
“Really?”
“Co on, follow .”
Before long, they left.
After a while, the two appeared in Yan Kingdom’s capital city and went straight towards Golden Grandpa. anwhile, Chu You put on his divine mask.
The square was already crowded with players. So were drawing items with a praying look; so gathering to chat, laughing and exclaiming from ti to ti as they discuss matters of interest.
“Wow, there’re so many people here.” Jiucaier exclaid at the sight of so many players.
“Hey, look who’s here?” A player who noticed them first exclaid in surprise, his gaze fixed on the tall man.
At his friend’s words, the players who weren’t drawing items turned to look at Chu You.
The towering figure, the characteristic mask, the familiar weapon, the stylish equipnt…all trademarks of that God-level bigshot.
“Ah, I can’t believe I’m witnessing this bigshot in person!” an adoring fan of Chu You cried out.
“Wow, he’s number one on the wealthy list!”
“Big guy, is there room for more on your leg?”
In particular, a few female players, unlike the male players, their gaze were all focused on Jiucaier, secretly guessing the relationship between this girl and the bigshot, their eyes hiding so envy.
“Cai’er, let’s trade.” Chu You waved his hand, transferring 100,000 gold coins to Jiucaier.
Seeing Chu You give Jiucaier a golden money bag, the female players who had been watching them were almost itching with envy.
Sure enough, the bigshot on the list, his fortunes are reversing for real.
“Pick the first one, it gives you experience points. Once you draw up to level 12, you can start learning.”
“Oh, so you can also draw experience points as prizes. What are you going to pick?” Seeing Chu You hand over the coins, Jiucaier imdiately accepted them, feeling extrely happy. The joy did not originate from the money he gave her, but from the attention he showed her. This made her heart flutter sweetly.
“I’ll also pick the experience points.” Yep, that’s what Chu You ca for this ti. To be precise, he was after the Black Diamond badge inside, he wanted to exchange it for a Black Diamond-grade weapon!
He chose the Golden Grandpa and found out that he still held the first position on the Richest Player Ladder. The second spot was still occupied by War Spirit Wind and Cloud, who was still level 19. His rich value was much lower than Chu You and hadn’t increased at all. Clearly, he realized that this lottery draw was a great pitfall, one even a rich tycoon couldn’t withstand for long.
He had already spent more than 1.5 million Gold Coins on this draw. 200,000 Gold Coins were for drawing experience points, the rest for enhancent stones, magic stones, and Weapon’s Soul Sealing Stone.
This didn’t even include the Gold Coins he gave Lin Luoer and the pair killing the commanders.
“Wow, the big shot is about to draw a prize again.”
“No way, I’m going to livestream this!”
“Haha, right right, I will also start video streaming.”
After these players opened the list of rich people, they switched to video recording mode. They wanted to witness firsthand the grace of a god tycoon!
“Start drawing, there’s a change in the tycoon value!” A player excitedly shouted.
“Wow, the exciting mont is here!”
For these players, watching a tycoon draw prizes in person was already an intriguing event. Add to that the fact that the tycoon was the number one player in Celestial World, the owner of the world’s number one guild, currently the richest and mighty person. He was indeed the god-level boss!
This was now even more exciting.
“Who will bet with on what You Ye is about to draw?”
“I think it’s likely a magic stone.”
“I think it’s experience. Based on the law of tycoons, the level 19 player from Chu Kingdom is about to be overtaken!”
“Makes sense, stomp him!”
“Long live the Great Yan Kingdom!”
Chu You continued to draw the experience with a calm look, not a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
In no ti, Chu You’s body shone brightly as he leveled up to 16.
“See, I knew it. He definitely pulled experience.”
“Now, who wants to bet on which level he’ll stop drawing?”
“I bet level 20! According to the law of tycoons, he will surpass the other guy by one level, forcing him into a level competition!”
“Haha, you are simply amazing, that sounds very reasonable.” The players around were engaged in heated discussions, even the female players were holding their breath, their eyes filled with wonder.
At this mont, Jiucaier reached level 11…
“Wow, You Ye’s tycoon value is escalating so fast! I estimate a god-level speed of one draw every three seconds!”
“He’s relentless!”
“Baller, he is absolutely ruthless!”
“How can we ordinary fishes live like this!”
“Boss, please adopt . Candle wax play, whipping, other kinks, you na it. My body can satisfy any of your fetishes!”
At this mont, another leveling-up light flashed, Chu You reached level 17!
He checked his backpack and saw he was still so way off from a level 15 Black DiamondBadge Weapon. So, he continued drawing.
Seeing the expressions on the players around, a 12 level Jiucaier couldn’t help but feel the excitent too. Looking at the calm Chu You, her heart was racing and her cheeks seed to turn slightly pink.
Seeing her boss and crush being treated so passionately, she felt quite thrilled too…
Quick, quick, quick, Chu You kept urging himself in his mind. As long as the drawing effect disappeared, he would imdiately start the next draw. There were absolutely no pauses in between.
With a pleasant ‘beep,’ Chu You leveled up to 18.
At this mont, Zhao Feiyan sent a ssage.
“Night Ghost, we have successfully taken down this BOSS.”
“Okay, the next coordinates are for Mountain View…” After saying this, Chu You continued with the drawings.
“There’s one more thing. While we were fighting the BOSS, we noticed about a dozen other players tailing us.”
“Warn them that if they continue to follow, kill them.” A cold light flashed in Chu You’s eyes. Even though the opponents wouldn’t disturb the boss fight, Chu You understood their objective—they wanted to follow and learn the boss’s coordinates.
Another flash of light, and Chu You leveled up to 19. He glanced at his Black Diamond badge count; it was still a bit short.
Eventually, under the eager gaze of the crowd, Chu You finally reached level 20.
“Average luck.” Chu You, now level 20, finally spoke. He seed unsatisfied with the current lottery, but at least the quantity of Black Diamond dals he had could be exchanged for a level 15 Black Diamond weapon. It was important to note that the dals required for a weapon were much more than for any other kind of equipnt.
Seeing that he could exchange, Chu You stopped drawing the lottery and went to the equipnt exchange shop.
“No need to guess. You Ye is definitely going to exchange items.”
“What equipnt the Boss wants to exchange?”
“It doesn’t need saying, definitely weapons!”
“Let’s hurry and see.”
Upon reaching the equipnt exchange shop, Chu You really did exchange for a level 15 Black Diamond weapon. The weapon was a halberd again. Why not another type of weapon?
This is where it gets esoteric. If you want to successfully transmute a weapon, the weapon used as the base for success rate must be of the sa type. There was no logic to this—it was mystic.
Chu You’s approach was simple, which was to use a Black Diamond weapon for transmuting. If the transmutation failed, he would imdiately transmute the master weapon next!
Now, all he needed to do was stack up the success rate. Once a certain failure rate was reached, he could then perform the weapon transmutation.
Looking at his equipnt bar, Chu You had not embedded any magic stones into his platinum equipnts. Disregarding them might as well serve as experints then.
At this point, Chu You looked up and noticed that quite a number of players had gathered around him. Unfazed by the situation, Chu You turned to Jiucaier, who had likewise co to the shop, and asked in the guild channel, “Do you think it’s a good ti for to upgrade my equipnt now?”
It was necessary to consult this high schooler with good fortunes. As for asking Jiucaier to transmute the weapon, it was a joke. As an adult, how could he ask for soone else’s help? Even if he failed, that was on him.
“You’re upgrading your equipnt? Uhm…why ask ?” Jiucaier was puzzled.
“Never mind.”
Taking out a piece of platinum equipnt, all magic stone slots were empty. So now, he’d begin.
Chu You pulled out an unimportant Compound Magic Stone and began inserting it into the equipnt.
“Is he trying to place in the magic stone?”
“It’s a good idea for the rich to play with magic stones, they don’t flinch when they fail!”
Success! The sound of successful magic stone embedding echoed out, and the faces of the onlookers fell in disappointnt. Jiucaier, on the other hand, was ecstatic. As for Chu You, he too was disappointed!
What they needed was failure, not success.
Let’s try again….
Again, the sound of a successful inset rang out. Once more! Yet another success… How co they weren’t so fortunate usually? After a three-win streak, they tried again!
At this mont, a loud ‘Duang’ sound echoed within the vicinity, a pleasing sound that was music to the surrounding players’ ears.
You Ye had failed! On his fourth attempt of inserting a magic stone, he failed! All the magic stones he succeeded in inserting previously vanished at this mont…
How delightful to see such widespread joy! The onlookers’ faces turned bright with excitent.
Good, now we continue.
Just like this, embedded between failures and successes, Chu You inserted and replaced the magic stones. During this ti, Chu You even succeeded in embedding magic stones four tis in a row, filling up a piece of platinum equipnt’s magic stone slots.
Continuing again and again and again…
After about fifteen minutes, Chu You failed in embedding a magic stone. Then he failed a second ti, followed by a third failure, and yet again…
The surrounding players again displayed their blooming expressions, happy to see the big spender Chu You failing at embedding magic stones, especially when he failed consecutively…
Therefore, the surrounding players started pretending to cheer for Chu You, raising their spirits and cheering, but in their hearts, they hoped that Chu You would continue to fail. They hoped that Chu You would succeed for a few tis, then abruptly fail again. This was the best outco because that’s when the player would sustain the biggest loss!
The fifth ti, again he failed….
His eyes narrowed slightly, Chu You continued to embed the magic stone.
The sixth ti, he failed again…
The sudden jump in his heart.
The seventh ti, failed again…
Sothing was coming, Chu You had a feeling. The elusive taphysics of legends seed to be taking shape now, yes, it was as if he was blessed by an inexplicable stroke of luck.
The eighth ti, it’s a failure again!
The surrounding players were completely dumbfounded. Just how bad does one’s luck have to be for a consecutive eight failures to occur?
The ninth ti, could it be… Goodness ! My titanium dog eyes are blinded, the opponent has failed again!
His heart leapt uncontrollably. Chu You hurriedly chanted in his heart: Don’t panic, hold steady, stay calm!
At this point, the players around him saw that a weapon had appeared in Chu You’s hand. This weapon was unique and obviously a good one with a high grade.
“I guessed it! You Ye is trying to embed this weapon using the failure rate of his previous attempts. It seems that the magic stone being embedded this ti must be top-notch!”
“It seems so. With so many previous failures, there should be a significant increase in the success rate at this stage, right?”
“What happened to the plot? Since when did the wealthy start experinting with taphysics!”
“Can you even do that? What are we commoners supposed to do then?!”
“Hmm, sothing’s not right. The stone in his hand doesn’t seem to be a magic stone.” said the first player who noticed the anomaly.
“Oh, so what kind of stone is it? An enhancent stone?”
“Not sure, maybe a high-grade enhancent stone?”
“That can’t be. Who has ever heard of using magic stones to boost the success rate of enhancent stones?”
“Everyone quiet!! Let’s all keep silent!” A player who couldn’t stand it anymore exclaid, his eyes glued to the stone in Chu You’s hand, anticipating his next move.
Suddenly, the extraordinary stone in his hand radiated a brilliant light, and a massive amount of colorful energy rged into the weapon in his other hand.
“Oh my, it’s starting! It’s starting!”
System: Quality Change Progress: 12%… 37%… 45%… 77%… 92%… 99%!
‘Duang’!
‘Duang’!
‘Duang’!
“Holy smoke, tell what the heck just happened!!”
“Oh no! The tycoon’s weapon disappeared!!”
“I’ll say it loud and clear – You Ye’s weapon broke!!”
“It broke!!”
Around him, there was an instantaneous outburst of peculiarly exuberant and grieving tones, as if their mont of elation had just been utterly ruined!
“What a tragic event…” said a player, with his expression nowhere near the slightest bit devastated.
At this mont, Jiucaier felt like her heart was about to shatter when she saw what happened. It was because her idol’s weapon broke.
The atmosphere didn’t affect Chu You at all, and the surrounding players didn’t know that at this mont, excitent was rippling in Chu You’s eyes. His heartbeat raced because the ti that would decide his fate was here.
Chu You imdiately took the master-level weapon: the Dragon-splitting Halberd from his bag!
I’ve encountered ten consecutive failures. Ten failures, it’s such a rare occurrence…
Who else could have such a terrible failure rate!
Who else could be as aweso as I am!
Looking at the master-level weapon in his left hand, Chu You again held the final Maya Soul Stone in his right hand.
System: Do you want to initiate a quality transformation for this master-level weapon?
At this mont, Chu You’s eyes were filled with a potent anticipation!
Oh divine beings of all realms, rciful Guanyin, dear readers, please once again grant my heart’s wish…
…
