The number of free tries for a gift were 3, and Li Mo had just used them all up.
Saiya said, “Adventurer, you have picked the Petrified gift. It is a great gift, especially in battles where you can stir sympathy in your enemy…”
‘Bite me!’
Li Mo just found out this Saiya type had the same answer for every gift…
Petrified was great? As if! 10% lower attack and a 0.01% chance of earn some pity? With how low it was, it wouldn’t happen even in a year!
What garbage gift.
“Adventurer, please choose your gift carefully. It will help you tremendously on your path.”
Cowardice, Impetuous, and Petrified. That was what Li Mo got to choose from.
Li Mo frowned.
The worst of the three evils was Impetuous for sure.
But Li Mo still felt it a poor choice.
The added attack was nice, but the minus defence was a clear flaw.
Pondering for a second, Li Mo fished out his Staff of Origin.
Staff of Origin shone automatically, and Li Mo found he had one extra chance at picking.
‘It works?’
Li Mo took out the Staff of Origin thinking of giving it a shot, never imagining it would actually make something of it. Even if the result was out of his control.
Then again, as long as he got to pick again, he would not stare a gift horse in the mouth.
Li Mo got a lot of info on this fantasy instance from Du Fei. Having an edge from the start would be of extra help for what was to come.
A gift was paramount. Say he picked Petrified, well that would botch his character completely.
Ding!
The new draw finished!
[Gift: Mutual Attraction, level 3: when interacting with someone of the same gender, it will increase their favorability of you. There is also a chance for your relationship to evolve beyond the boundaries of mere friendship. When fighting with someone of your gender, attack and defense increased by 15% for both of you. When attacking from behind, critical chance increases by 20%.(The extra favorability does not apply to other adventurer.)]
‘F*ck!’
Decline, decline, DECLINE!
Li Mo hit no out of instinct.
Staff of Origin shined again.
Draw!
With every shine, a new chance was earned on the roulette. Li Mo was quite patient, throwing away those bad gifts. He didn’t realize he’d been doing it for 20 times already.
Out of those draws, he got three level 0, and two level 3. Those two level 3 talents were Mutual Attraction and Sharing Joys and Sorrows.
Sharing Joys and Sorrows increased other party member’s attack and healing by 10%.
It was a good team-oriented gift.
He had to admit, begrudgingly, that the Mutual Attraction gift was pretty darn good too, limited to same gender though…
Staff of Origin shined by itself for longer and longer as Li Mo asked Saiya, “Is level 3 the best gift?”
“The best gist is level 10, while the worst is level 0. Most common gifts are level 1 and 2.”
Li Mo had to ask, since he’d been at it for a good while now and all he picked was junk.
“With how low the chance for good gifts to appear, then very few people must’ve gotten a level 4 gift.” Li Mo thought out loud.
Using Staff of Origin to cheat and drawing 20 times only earned him some average level 3 gifts. All while others only had three shots to get something good.
“Although the chance for a good gift is low, but there are many who won a great gift.
“My records tell me there have been three level 9 gift winners in the past years.”
Li Mo was stunned.
“I recall the three level 9 gifts were Matchless, God Strike, and Undying.
“Matchless give one a 100% critical chance as long as they do not wear equipment. It also increases the critical damage by 50%.”
Li Mo was shocked.
Not just constant crits but even increase in critical damage. ‘Who can stand up to such an enemy?’
“God Strike allows the user to have endless mana and no cooldown.
“Undying allows one to keep reviving. He will never die.”
Undying?
‘Why is a level 9 gift such a cheat?’
What did that make of a level 10?
Draw!
Li Mo calmed down and kept picking gifts.
Ding!
The new draw finished!
[Gift: Duel, level 5: in a one-on-one battle, your attack and defense increase by 50% and critical chance by 20%.]
Not a bad choice, but a far cry from the likes of Matchless.
‘Continue!’
Hum~
The white light shined anew, again and again… and again.
Hum~
Li Mo had long since lost count what time did this made it when a sudden red light flashed along with a charming bell sound.
The new draw finished!
[Gift: Crimson Hell, level 8: cause 20 fire damage to all within 30 yards of the user.(The power increases with character level)]
“Better…”
Li Mo hesitated. Having been at it for so long, he had no idea what was the situation inside.
‘Should I pick this one?’
“If there really are some strong people I don’t know about from my past life, it will be hard if I don’t have a top gift.”
Li Mo was pondering on the right choice.
Ding!
Hum~
As Li Mo went numb from all that drawing, the rullete let out another dazzling red light and became smaller, as did its number of choices.
“Adventurer, I don’t know how you did it, but having drawn a hundred times had triggered an effect. You know have three chances to draw out high-level gifts.”
Extra effect every hundred chances?
Was it the legendary guaranteed win?
Li Mo was an avid gamer lover who made tons of in game purchases and was pretty familiar with this guaranteed win mechanic.
Of a hundred times he got just one level 8 gift. He had to have the worst luck ever and the system must’ve taken pity on him…
Li Mo took a long look at the high level gifts on the roulette, finding their number greatly reduced in favor of quality.
The lowest was level 8 and highest level 10.
But with how only a single level 10 was present, the odds of getting it were slim at best.
The level 10 gift didn’t have a name, only question marks. He had it on excellent authority, Saiya’s, that the Matchless, God Strike, and Undying were on this wheel.
First draw!
Li Mo spun the wheel.
Hum~
With a flash of rainbow light, the roulette stopped on the level 9 gift, God Strike.
[Gift: God Strike, level 9: when using spells or martial skills, they cost no mana. The active ability to remove cooldown lasts for two hours and needs 24 hours before it can be used again.]
“Not bad at all.”
Li Mo was quite content with the gift but he still had two more chances.
Hum~
In a flash of red, the level 8 gift Domain of Ice appeared. It was pretty much the same as Crimson Hell, the only difference was that this was frost damage.
“So-so.”
Li Mo drew the last chance.
A rainbow light shined as the roulette slowly moved and ultimately stopped on the level 10 gift.
“This…”
A level 10 gift!
