Under the beautiful night sky of Chengdu mountain, amidst thousands of high-rise buildings, stood a two-story apartment, and in the basement of this certain apartment a young man sat in front of an old broken computer.
"finally.. it enough for at least 10,000 draws" The young man shouted in excitedly.
His name was Lin Haoran, a 20-year-old college student. He was currently playing a popular game called 'Divine Luck Dynasty' that had taken the netizens by storm. 'Divine Luck Dynasty' was an open-world action MMORPG released five years ago. It featured impressive graphics and cool effects, but what really set it apart from its competitors, like 'Banshi Impact,' was that the characters had no fixed abilities at all!!
In this game the players were given random of 3 abilities and depending on the amount of missions they completed they recieved 'luck' which they used to draw new abilities from the drawing system.
This might seem very simple but this unique concept opened up a new world of gaming, allowing players to improvise and find powerful combinations of abilities that complemented and enhanced each other, providing freedom like no other game before.
And lin haoran was also an avid player of this game and was even considered a very high level player in the regional server.
"100 luck is needed for 1 draws, 1000 for 10 draws and with 1 million 300 thousand you get an incredible 13 thousand draws" Lin haoran shouted excitedly.
For three years, he had saved all his luck points from mission rewards without spending a dime, all for this very moment. If not for these unbearable three years, Lin Haoran speculated that he would have already played on the world stage.
Of course Lin haoran had his reasons for waiting 3 entire years before changing his skill set.
The primary reason was that unlike other player who spawned with terrible starting abilities, Lin haoan was quite lucky as he started with a one S-grade and two A-grade and these 3 were perfectly compatible with each other with their combined might rivalling some SSS-grade abilities.
Of course this was not the only reason because as the game progessed more and more powerful abilities were drawn surpassing SSS-grade so on and so forth. Nowadays if you throw a cabbage at any random alley in the capital of the divine luck dynasty you'd a have at least 40% of hitting someone with SSS-Grade abilities and that too was without mentioning the fact that everyone had three ability slot.
So as time passed, although Lin haoran abilities were top grade at the beginning they couldn't pick up with the changing time.
The Other reason was the availability of the weapon slot.
Just like any other open-action MMORPG, 'Divine Luck dynasty' had equipments like swords and magic treasure, in fact their importance is more or less equal to that of abilities as they also grant abilities to the character, the downside being that high grade weapons were more rare than even high grade abilities and occupied more slots, while abilities no matter the grade, occupied only one slot, however on the other-hand unlike abilities that could only be drawn from the system, weapons could be also found inside the game.
That being said Lin Haoran's ability to stay among the top players despite his low-grade abilities was because he had obtained a fragment of an ancient artifact called 'Sky Hanging Sword' in the game. To date, Lin Haoran had found six pieces of this artifact, and it occupied six weapon slots of his character. This was the second-highest slot a weapon had ever occupied within the game, with the highest being seven slots. This was even more terrifying considering that each character had only nine weapon slots. Lin Haoran guessed that if he were to sell it for real-life money, he could already have bought a new house.
Of course He was not going to sell it as even he had not seen the complete form of 'The sky hanging sword'.
The final reason was that Lin haoran found a loop hole in the game. of which at this point, couldn't exactly be called a loophole, as most players had already realized it too. This loop hole was that if the time interval between the subsequent 10x draw was low, meaning if it is a continuous draw, the chances of getting higher grade abilities increases so on and so forth.
What did that mean? it means that the more times a person drew in one sitting the more powerful the abilities that will appeared with each passing draw, with low grade abilities appearing lesser and lesser each time.
And right now Lin haoran had accumulated a total of 13,000 draws!! This was one of the few time it had ever happened in the game, as luck point were not cheap even with real-life money.
"Start drawing" Lin Haoran look at the menu option and quickly select the draw option.
A Gigantic Wheel, suddenly appeared in the screen decorated with various colors and Drawings of divinities.
"Draw 10x"
The entire screen bloomed with lights as if an explosion of colours had happened. A single flower with white petals bloomed in the mist of all this.

The first draw was an F-grade, which did not faze Lin Haoran at all.
"Sigh, this is gonna be a long night," he sighed and continued.
