The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 149: Will we really not lose money?
The little witches felt a chill run down their spines when they saw this.

After purchasing card magic, you still need to spend magic power? And it's not just one-time magic power, but also permanent magic power?

But the magic power equivalent to 1 Mana of permanent magic can charge up to 100, no, 110 gem coins into this purple gem!

Who doesn't occasionally have a few extra manas?
After all, the amount of magic power they can naturally recover each day is equal to the amount of magic power they have left at midnight. If they leave half of their magic power before midnight each day, their magic power will be fully restored the next day.

It's a waste to keep too much magic power; it would be much better to recharge it with card coins to buy and draw cards!
If it had been like this earlier, they would have accumulated countless gem coins by now, instead of having to pay in installments every time.

I'm a little moved.

At this point, another dialog box popped up: "Continue with the explanation or skip the tutorial?"

This time, Vasita knew what to do, and she pressed her finger directly on the "continue" button.

This time, the box for the card pool on the left lit up.

Beside the grayish-white vortex, an arrow appeared: "→Limited-Time Closed Beta Card Pool: Click to draw cards. All cards in the Card Shop have a chance to be drawn from this pool. Each draw costs 1 Gem Coin, and a three-draw guarantee a complete card! [Click the "?" in the upper right corner of the card pool to view the drop rates]"

"Current free gacha pull count: 1."

"Draw a card?"

Vasita thought for a moment, clicked "No," and then clicked the "?" in the upper right corner of the card pool.

[Limited-Time Closed Beta Gacha Drop Rate]

[1. Gem Coin/Card Fragment Drop Rate: 19%]

[2. Card drop rate worth 1 gems: 59%]

[3. Card drop rate worth 2 gems: 19%]

[4. Card drop rate for cards worth 2-10 gem coins: 1.99%]

6. Special card drop rate: 1%

5. Card drop rate for cards worth more than 10 gems: 0.01%

(You are guaranteed to get a complete card after drawing cards 3 times in a row)
(Special cards have no physical form and can only be obtained from the card pool. They cannot be purchased in the shop. Currently, special cards include: Any Card, Lucky Card, and Consecutive Draw Card.)
“(O_o)??” Vasita looked back at the others, bewildered, trying to ask for help: “What does this mean?”

“o_O ||” The other little witches stared at each other, feeling a little dizzy as they looked at the string of percentages.

Then they all looked at Moran: "What do you mean?"

Moran sighed inwardly. The math class was really urgent. Look at these little witches, all they can do is addition and subtraction. They can at least calculate prices when they go out to buy things.

She could only reluctantly arrange them in order and give them a general explanation:
"This is the probability of drawing cards of different values. The probability of drawing a card worth 1 gem is the highest, followed by gem fragments and cards worth 2 gems, then cards worth more than 2 gems but less than 10 gems, and then special cards. The probability of drawing a card worth more than 10 mana gems is the lowest."

The little witches' eyes lit up when they heard this: "This card pool allows you to draw cards worth far more than one gem coin with just one gem coin? Is there really such a good thing?"

"Moran, won't you lose money by creating this gacha pool?" Sylph asked with some concern.

“That’s right!” Vasita said, “One gem coin is one mana, and the most expensive of your cards must cost hundreds of mana!”

Moran had considered that once her card magic, especially the card-drawing aspect, was revealed, it would further amplify her reputation as a "goblin witch." She had originally planned to use the magic she earned to soothe her increasingly damaged reputation.

But she never imagined that the little witches would worry that she would lose money!
Although this beta test gacha pool is quite generous, considering that it only features little witches, Moran couldn't really overcharge them. However, she would only earn a little less and would definitely not lose money.

Valencia is a fertile land untouched by lotteries and raffles, and the little witches aren't good at math. That's probably why this misunderstanding arose!

She shook her head repeatedly: "At most, I'll only earn a little less, but I'm definitely not going to lose money. This is a beta test bonus card pool, so feel free to draw from it!"

The little witches were relieved to hear this: "It's good that we didn't lose money, it's good that we didn't lose money!"

What to do? I'm even more tempted!

Buy one magic item and get one free card draw, with a chance to draw super valuable cards!

However, 3 Mana's permanent magic power cannot be spent casually; one must think it through carefully.

At this point, Vasita clicked "Continue New Player Guide," and the card shop lit up.

"Click on the card to view its details and how to purchase it."

"→Click here to adjust the card sorting."

→ Click here to search or filter cards.

→ Swipe here to turn the page.

……

After a series of instruction dialog boxes, Vasita learned how to use the online store interface.

She rearranged the cards, placing them in order of price from highest to lowest.

Surprisingly, the most expensive card wasn't the {Mobile Kitchen Card}, but a card called the {Disposable Energy Storage Card}. Its lowest price was actually lower than the {Mobile Kitchen Card}, costing only 10 gem coins, but it had no price cap!

"Energy storage card? Is that what I mean?" Sylph looked at Moran: "Is there new progress on the energy storage card?"

Moran shook his head: "It's the same kind I told you about before, but later the dean said that even at this price, this kind of energy storage card is much cheaper than magic coins, so I put it in the store."

Now that her witch magic research is complete, she can sell energy storage cards.

Last night, when she asked Dean No. 69, he was the first to buy card magic from her and then took a flyer that she had copied down overnight.

Meanwhile, the sales figures in the lower right corner of the {disposable energy storage card} were all contributed by the dean.

She bought three of almost every type of energy storage card, ranging from 1 Mana to 10000 Mana, saying she wanted to show them to the clan association.

The other little witches were hearing about the energy storage card for the first time, so they quickly asked Vasita to open it and check the card details.

After clicking, you can see not only the card's appearance, but also an introduction to the card's functions and pricing.

"A blank energy storage card with 1 Mana capacity costs 10 gem coins, and a blank energy storage card with 100 Mana capacity costs 1000 gem coins. Who would buy that? Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to directly recharge magic power into gem coins?"

The little witches also had the same doubts that Moran and the others had had.

"Gem coins cannot be taken out and converted back into magic power!"
This energy storage card is as valuable as magic coins; both are used to quickly restore energy in emergencies.

A purple-gold coin that can restore 100 mana energy in one go requires a witch of high rank or higher to fill the coin with magic power equivalent to 1000 mana each time, and this process must be repeated 10 times before a stable 100 mana magic power is left in the purple-gold coin.
