Chapter 8 - Luck vs Lottery

Clinton decided to ignore the system for a while.

A transparent panel opened in front of Clinton. The panel was filled with slots with only three slots that had items in them. Clinton tapped in the first slot. A rectangular call-out appeared and on it were the words:

Last Beta System User Gift Packet.

Type: Gift Packet

Description: A gift packet sent to the last user to connect to the Beta System as compensation for the time that was lost. Chances of getting: 0.1 to 3 bronze coins, 0 to 1 skill point, lottery shop function, lottery shop ticket, 0 to 15 free attribute points, 0 to 2 free special attribute points, 1 to 3 common items, or 0 to 1 uncommon items.

[No, you did not.]

[Beta System Announcement: Lottery shop function have been unlocked. Spin wheels can be found in the shop.]

<... Did I just unlocked the lottery for everyone?>

[Yep. You just wasted your luck to do a very good deed, Mr. Good Man.]

<... Toxic.>

[As I said, I'm not toxic, you just hear them in a toxic way.]

<...>

[I suggest that you check the lottery shop first.]

Clinton shook his head.

[Shop opened.]

[Well, why don't you use the lottery ticket that you own? At least you have a chance to get a silver lottery ticket or some good things like skill points.]

[Although there's only about a 1% chance that you'd get it, so it'll probably take a few thousand bronze coins to get one.]

[Ding. Obtained 1 silver lottery ticket.]

[... I take my words back.]

[Ding. Obtained 3 skill points.]

[... Speak the truth. Did you hack the system or something?]

<... Open 24 bronze lottery boxes.>

[Ding. Obtained Wind-walk Shoes. Obtained Feather-light Ring. Obtained Invisible Earrings.]

[They don't just sound kind of amazing, they are amazing.]

[Yes, really. You're not even supposed to get them in the first place.]

[Not really. Most people wouldn't be happy with the lottery boxes. Your luck was just too powerful for the lottery boxes to rip you off.]

[I feel like your luck would be the worst nightmare for anyone that does lottery business. It's the perfect counter against lottery boxes.]
