Chapter 214 Gambling Pot

Miracle City already has many models of mobile phones and tablets.

But they are all ordinary first-level items.

It's not too difficult to spawn from the secret realm.

Qi Ji is still purchasing in large quantities and selling them through the secret store.

Although the current scope of application of mobile phones is quite limited, the additional skill effects will be invalid when leaving the influence range of the territory, and the main manifestations are no network signal, and inability to automatically charge.

But having said that.

But it can still be used for a while.

Basic functions such as taking photos and video can still be used.

Before this.

The underground city of the Eternal Night Forest.

Never before has a mobile device been so convenient.

No other device has ever come with so many practical features.

Nowadays, anyone with a little foresight and strategic thinking has realized the great value of this thing.

It can serve as a terminal receiving device for information and data, thereby connecting people and services more closely and efficiently. Similar terminal devices are of high quality in other dungeons.

The biggest advantage of Miracle City mobile phones is that they are cheap and have large production volumes.

This makes large-scale promotion possible.

Only through large-scale promotion, integrating mobile phones into the territory and even the lives of all ethnic groups and regions, and making the Internet an infrastructure, can its capabilities be truly unleashed, thereby giving birth to a large number of industries and creating huge value.

Artus's Qixun not only has hundreds of friends, he has also joined three chat groups. It is very convenient for him to open the chat group and get the latest information when he has nothing to do.

In three groups.

The first group is called "Holy Tree Elf Home", which is an internal group chat among the elves and currently has 74 members.

The second group is called "Arad Adventurer Alliance". There are currently 302 adventurers exploring the continent of Arad. This group can learn about the dynamics of Arad, or trade and form teams, etc.

The third group is called "Miracle City Official Group No. 1" and has more than a thousand members. The group owner and daily administrators are Yongzhen and the staff of the Lord's Mansion. The number of times adventurers can speak per day is limited. Its nature is more like an official customer service group.

But I didn't watch it for just two or three hours.

There are thousands of unread messages.

First, I took a quick look at the elves’ internal group, “Holy Tree Elf Home”.

Only then did Artus realize that Nancylia, Elsa, Evelyn and other elves stationed in Miracle City had actually gone to watch the latest developments of the "Ten Foreign Countries" in the past few hours.

Therefore.

It took a lot of time.

Artus was somewhat dissatisfied with this.

He then contacted Nancy and educated her:
"Xiao Nan, every adventure in Miracle City is precious, and Arad currently has great opportunities waiting to be explored. The elves must work together to seize these opportunities. Don't be distracted by other secret realms during this period!"

Criticized by the elders.

Nancy Liya did not make any excuses.

She quickly said, "The elder is right. We all cherish every opportunity for adventure. Although I am very interested in the stories of the Sui and Tang dynasties, I will definitely not be exploring the Sui and Tang dynasties in the short term."

Artus said with satisfaction, "I'm glad you understand. Although every secret realm in Miracle City has great potential, as the saying goes, biting off more than you can chew. We should still establish an advantage in Arad as soon as possible. We can't lose to those filthy and despicable undead people of Vesalos!"

"Understood. I'll get ready right away. Give me fifteen minutes!"

"Well, let's go!"

"..."

Artus ended his communication with Nancy Liya.

He opened the "Arad Adventurer's Alliance" again.

This group chat has always been very active and lively. Every day, adventurers share their discoveries and interesting stories in Gran Forest or Hutton Mar in the group, so I habitually take a look to see if there is any new information.

Unsurprisingly.

Obtained some useful information.

Lone Wolf: "Everyone, the latest discovery is that the sharpshooter instructor Kelly has an equipment enhancement device from the heavens. As long as you trigger the relevant pre-tasks and help her repair this enhancement machine, you can activate the equipment enhancement function!"

The Wind Chasing Old Boy: "Is there such a thing?"

Jinba: "I've tested it myself, and the strengthening effect is very good. I don't know if this machine can explode."

Super Iron Egg: "I strengthened the katana to level 3, and it has really increased its power a lot."

Braised Pig's Trotter: "This function is indeed good, but although it can increase the power of weapons, the cost is too expensive. And I heard that it may damage equipment, so everyone should be cautious when strengthening it."

"Is this a trick?"

"Yes, this will not only make us a lot of money from the Arad coins and materials we have, but it will also most likely make many big guys directly reimburse the equipment they have invested heavily in in the future!"

"Humph, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If you want to be stronger than others, you will always have to pay a higher price!"

“It feels like the price of Arad gold coins is going to increase again!”

"..."

"Brothers, we've found another way to get high-level equipment and rare items."

"What? Tell me!"

"There's a hidden merchant in Huttonmar called Earth Jar. He specializes in selling something called 'Pocket Jars.' You can buy up to five of them per day, and there's a chance he'll reveal various rare consumables, including blue, purple, and even pink items."

"..."

"Fuck, don't mention this profiteer!"

"I just bought a can, and all I got was a worthless white board. I suspect he's a scammer!"

"Hahaha, I'm lucky. I got a level 15 purple shoe."

"what?"

"Can purple equipment really be produced?"

"Then I have to give it a try!"

"..."

"I also discovered a hidden mission!"

"You can contact the Queen of Belmar!"

"Queen Skadi is very elegant. Her chief knight, Lobach, is not only a beautiful ghost swordsman, but her strength seems to be no less than that of GSD. The continent of Arad is truly full of hidden talents!"

"..."

The Secret Realm of Arad is rich in content.

After all, the original work is huge.

There are hundreds of NPCs with distinct images, unique characteristics, detailed settings, and direct appearances.

And the crystallization of Qi Ji's inspiration.

There are more materials about various important characters.

I'm afraid it will have to increase tenfold on this basis.

Many of them are characters derived from the background, animation, and setting collection.

These characters alone are enough to create an intricate system of power, social networks, and relationships.

Qi Ji even deployed hundreds of thousands of civilians, merchants, adventurers, kingdom soldiers, clergy and church personnel, etc., to create a vibrant, complete and organically functioning Hettonmar.

Although the characters in the Arad Secret Realm are more like NPCs in online game themes, they have normal IQ but follow obvious logic and have clear behavioral boundaries, unlike the characters in the Free City Secret Realm which are 100% sandboxed.

But only within the boundaries allowed.

Many plots and tasks will also be derived spontaneously.

If you don’t form a team, trade or PK.

This world can be played as a single player.

Qi Ji himself is also constantly producing large and rich side plots and hidden missions.

Almost every original character with a name has a lot of tasks to explore, but in order to trigger them, various prerequisites need to be met.

For example, level.

For example, mainline progress.

For example, other related plots.

It might even be just a matter of favorability.

Most characters in Arad have hidden favorability settings.

There are many tasks or plots that require a certain level of favorability to be triggered.

In addition, many of the original basic game functions also require completing the corresponding side quests before they can be unlocked, such as Kelly's enhancement machine and enhancement functions mentioned in the group.

Such rich content.

Such a huge main and side storyline.

This enables adventurers to adventure in the continent of Arad.

There are constant new discoveries and surprises, which create a stronger sense of immersion and fun.

……

A peek at the screen.

Through chat groups and forums.

A lot of useful information was collected.

The hottest topics in Miracle Territory right now are all related to the "Sui and Tang Dynasties".

When Artus was collecting intelligence on Arad, he inevitably came across a lot of topics about the Sui Dynasty of China. Only then did he learn about the wonders and adventures such as the Red Star, the Scar of the Sky, and the Road to Babel.

The Elf Elder was once again shocked by the Lord's imagination and creativity!

Although he did not witness the exploration process of Shenzhou Da Sui in person, he could feel the grandeur of this secret chapter and its impressive ending through the sharing and discussions of other adventurers in the forum.

No wonder Nancy Lea was drawn to it.

It’s probably impossible for me not to be attracted by Miracle City.

After collecting intelligence.

Enter the continent of Arad.

During this day, the elven adventurers collected a lot of blue equipment for decomposition, and now they have stored enough small crystals of various colors, which are expected to allow several members of the tribe to complete their job changes first.

All that’s missing is the materials for the king-level “Dark Thunder Ruins” mission.

Because Nancylia was not ready yet, Artus left Celia's hotel and started walking around Huttonmar first. At this moment, he heard a slightly cunning voice shouting from the front.

"Come on! Let's make money with money!"

"Absolutely no time!"

"Hey! It's understandable that there's a vacancy every now and then!"

"..."

An inconspicuous place on the street corner.

There was a guy dressed weirdly.

He was setting up a stall and selling something to the local adventurers passing by.

The man was wearing a badly worn brown and yellow cloak and a dark brown can with a ceramic texture on his head. There was a faded "Tu" logo printed on the side. There were more than a dozen miniature cans on the stall in front of him.

"It's the earthenware merchant!"

"The hidden merchant mentioned in the group!"

Many people in the Arad Adventurer group mentioned this special person.

The Earthen Jar Merchant is an antique dealer with a mysterious origin. His location in Huttonmar is not fixed, so it takes a certain amount of luck to meet him. The pocket jars he sells are magical sealed jars with a mysterious origin.

This jar is very special.

Whether it is potions, equipment, or important materials, as long as they are sealed in a pocket jar with special magic, they will not deteriorate no matter how much time passes.

and so.

Various top forces.

All the top powerhouses.

Even ancient dynasties.

They all make a lot of pocket jars.

For some reason, many secret jars were stored and never taken away, thus becoming antiques.

The biggest feature of this magic jar is that it is impossible to know what is hidden inside unless it is opened, and no detection method in the world can sense the contents.

Therefore.

Many secret jar merchants have appeared in the mainland.

This ugly-looking earthenware jar is one of the jar merchants.

It is said that most of the jars he sells are stolen and smuggled from the Delos Empire, and some may contain very important supplies and equipment. Of course, there are also a lot of garbage jars made by unscrupulous merchants.

You can't tell from the outside.

A can of poverty.

A jar of wealth.

This is Arad’s signature gambling activity: the gambling pot!
"Lord Artus, since you have encountered it, why not give it a try?"

The adventurers outside were obviously very interested in the gambling pot, so they all encouraged Artus to give it a try.

Artus then stepped forward and asked, "How much are the jars?"

Tuguan shouted for a long time but still failed to make a single sale.

At this moment, someone asked.

The little eyes in the jar helmet suddenly lit up.

He immediately introduced enthusiastically: "Come, come, take a look, these jars are all 5 yuan each. Although it's a little expensive, you have the chance to become rich overnight. Buy a few and give them a try!"

"So expensive?"

"Dear adventurer, these are all high-quality goods smuggled from the Empire. Among them are even antiques unearthed from mysterious ruins, which may contain treasures recorded in epic stories. Selling them for only tens of thousands of gold coins each is a great bargain."

Adventurers can only obtain Arad coins through daily tasks, adventures, or selling equipment.

Generally speaking, the output of Arad Continental Coin will be much less than that of DNF.

Routine equipment repair and enhancement services require a large amount of in-game currency. In the early stages of this online game's dungeon, most adventurers were short of gold, and many even faced situations where they couldn't afford to repair their equipment.

Of course, the territory mall has Arad coins for exchange.

This is one of the important sources of income for this online game secret realm.

Each Miracle Copper Coin can be exchanged for 1000 Arad Coins in one direction.

However, in order not to affect the balance and stability, Qi Ji set an exchange limit. The specific value is related to the level. Currently, Artus can only exchange 30 miracle copper coins per day, which means that he can exchange a maximum of 3 Arad coins per day.

The price of 1000 Arad coins traded privately by adventurers has already been driven up to two or three soul crystals!
So the ogre gold-farming group led by Luke has made a lot of money recently.

however.

At this moment.

Each jar costs 5.

It is simply unacceptable to ordinary adventurers.

Artus discussed the matter with several elven elders outside the secret realm.

An old elf said, "I think it's worth a try. If I'm lucky enough to get a purple item, I can make my money back with just one."

Another great elf nodded. "Even if your luck is average, as long as you can get one or two blue gear, it won't be a big loss. After all, there will be a strong demand for job transfers in Arad for a long time to come. Even the worst blue gear can be sold for dozens of soul crystals."

Most of the elven adventurers are exploring the continent of Arad.

Although this group of elves from the Holy Tree City has fallen on hard times, they still have quite a bit of savings. They max out their currency every day, and thus have accumulated a considerable amount of funds.

Artus bought three jars at once.

A total of 15 was spent, equivalent to 150 miracle copper coins.

1 Miracle Copper Coin is equivalent to 1 Contribution Point in the Miracle Territory. If you only calculate it this way, 150 Contribution Points are nothing. But in fact, when you add the costs such as the coinage tax, the actual cost is much higher than this.

Moreover, both Miracle Coins and Arad Coins are currently scarce and important resources.

"Wow!"

"Elder Artus is about to open the can!"

"Everyone, come and see!"

"..."

Inside the Thousand Lakes City Adventure Hall, hundreds of local adventurers and many onlookers rushed to the secret crystal to watch, each with a look of curiosity on their faces.

As for how to open the pocket jar?
In fact, it is very simple. Just touch and activate the formation above, and you can gradually remove the restrictions and open the jar.

When Artus put his hand on the secret magic jar to unlock it, a large number of magic symbols appeared on the surface of the jar, and one formation after another flashed and disappeared. During this process, the jar shook violently.

"This is……"

Artus felt surprised.

Objects flashed before my eyes quickly.

[Ink Bamboo Bracelet (Purple)], [Inheritance: Sacred Aurora Elf Wristband (Purple)], [Ronan's Guardian (Pink)], [Kelly's Lost Revolver (Pink)]...

This scene.

Artus wasn't the only one who could feel it.

Onlookers outside can also see it from the picture.

When all kinds of purple, pink, and even flashes of orange equipment flashed before my eyes.

Everyone at the scene had their eyes wide open and was breathing rapidly, all feeling their blood boiling.

however.

When all restrictions are lifted.

The moment the jar completely broke.

[You opened the pocket can and obtained the "Rusty Katana (White)"! ]

Everyone was stunned.

The last equipment opened.

It turned out to be just a piece of low-grade trash white sword.

"It's not that easy!"

Artus frowned.

But I kept calm.

Although the first one was not ideal, there are still two jars and two chances.

[You opened the pocket jar and obtained 5 "Sharp Eyes Potion"! ]

Open the can for the second time.

No equipment was obtained.

The pocket jars in the continent of Arad can not only produce equipment.

You can also get various consumables or special items, such as directly getting a small amount of miracle coins.

Consumable items.

Most of them are not of high value.

But there are a few that are extremely useful.

Although this "Sharp Eyes Potion" is not a rare item, it is also a very practical consumable. Its effect is to greatly increase the critical hit rate and critical hit damage within 300 seconds.

Did not meet expectations.

I can only say that it's barely passable.

At least it's better than a rusty samurai sword that's in tatters.

Artus opened the last remaining can. He also felt a little pressure. After taking a deep breath, he opened it on the spot.

Another shaking.

All kinds of attractive equipment flashed by.

[You opened the pocket jar and got "fine leather boots"! ]

The equipment is out!

It is a level 10 blue item.

Although blue equipment currently has a very high material decomposition and recycling value, level 10 blue equipment can only be divided into a few crystal blocks. This jar can only be considered to break even at best, and overall it still loses a lot of money.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"What a loss!"

"Three jars only gave me one level 10 blue item!"

"Ah, as expected, it's too difficult to get good equipment using this method."

"..."

Could it be that 150,000 Arad coins were simply wasted? This total value was worth at least several hundred soul crystals. While this wasn't a fortune for the elves or individuals, considering the hassle of currency exchange, the actual loss was far greater than the reported loss.

No!

Not reconciled!
At this time, the surrounding adventurers started to clamor for Artus to try again.

Artus gritted his teeth.

I bought two more jars out of my own pocket.

[You opened the pocket can and obtained the "Old Revolver (White)"! ]

Another level 1 whiteboard of pure garbage!
Although Artus was old, when he saw this equipment, he still felt dizzy and almost swore in anger.

How could this be?
Could it be that this earthen jar is really a profiteer?

He might not have come across any legitimate jars at all, and it might all be homemade scams by unscrupulous merchants. But what about the secret realm hint he saw when he opened the jar? Logically speaking, since the secret realm gave a hint, there was a chance of finding a top-quality item.

How to do.

There is only one left.

Can this jar still be opened?

Although Artus felt a little regretful and shouldn't have taken such a crooked path when he was sure to lose nine times out of ten, he was unwilling to return the last jar, so he opened the jar again with the mentality of fighting with his back against the wall.

"Well, let's try it one last time. If it's still a blank slate, I'll never gamble again. Not only will I never gamble again, but I won't allow any elves to gamble with pots either!"

"The last one!"

"This is the last one!"

"..."

Artus took a deep breath and silently prayed for the blessing of the goddess of nature. Then he suddenly opened the jar in front of him.

After another wave of fantasy.

The jar broke.

[You opened the pocket jar and obtained "Song of the Elves (Pink)"! ]

The equipment released this time was a ring shrouded in pink light. The moment the elves and onlookers saw the ring, they cheered.

"Wow!"

"Pink outfit!"

"It's actually a pink outfit!"

"Master Artus opened a pink piece of equipment from a jar!"

"..."

This "Song of the Elves" is a level 10 pink outfit. Although the level is not high, it can increase a lot of strength and intelligence, so it is suitable for both warrior and spell professions.

the most important is!

This ring can significantly increase the speed of spell casting!

Therefore, its value is definitely not low, and at this stage it is worth at least two to three thousand soul crystals.

made money!

made money!

Invest 25 Arad coins.

According to the exchange rate of the territory mall, 250 miracle coins can be converted into 250 contribution points. If 1 soul crystal can be exchanged for 1 contribution point, this is almost a tenfold return rate!
Make your money back in one go!
And you can make a lot of money directly!
What does it mean that nine out of ten gambling losses? Only those who dare to gamble can win!

Artus didn't expect that he would be so lucky. He wanted to take advantage of his good luck to play a few more, but unexpectedly, the earthenware jar merchant had a rule that each person could only sell a maximum of five jars a day.

What a broken rule?

The elf elders were very dissatisfied with this.

As soon as Artus opened the pink ring, it spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

This incident was very inspiring. It not only had a strong morale-boosting effect on many gamblers, but also indirectly or directly led to the birth of a group of adventurers who were addicted to gambling.

however.

Can make money from jars.

After all, it is only a very small minority.

Most of these adventurers who are addicted to gambling are the leeks that are cut.

Fortunately, the secret realm stipulates that each person can open a maximum of five jars per day, otherwise countless people would have lost their fortunes on this matter.

……

Soon after.

Entrance to Gran Forest.

Artus, Nancylia, Black Stone Hammer King, and Vesaros formed a team and reunited.

Why look for Blackstone Hammer King and Vesalos? Although there are many adventurers who have reached level 18 and accepted the Sindar Hammer quest, not many adventurers have successfully completed the quest and obtained the level 18 purple weapon.

Although there is a high probability of getting the items required for the mission from the mission-exclusive treasure chest after accepting the mission and clearing the relevant mission area, this probability is not 100%.

Someone has already taken up the Hammer mission.

I fought three Bone Prison Breath bosses but didn't get the hammer.

It will definitely be difficult for this unlucky and unfortunate adventurer to complete the job change task today.

Therefore.

Although Artus doesn't like to team up with liches.

But in order to successfully complete the job change, he had no choice but to accept it.

Vesaros also said, "Elder Artus, it's a pity that you're stationed in Thousand Lakes City. Otherwise, you and everyone else would have witnessed a magnificent and magnificent adventure together today!"

What he said.

Of course, it is the plot of the Sui Dynasty of China.

Artus said calmly, "We elves will explore these secret realms ourselves in the future. Time is running out today, so the most urgent task is to complete the job transfer mission as soon as possible!"

"That's right!"

This battle attracted a lot of attention.

"Are we finally going to start the job change quest?"

"All four are level 18 and have comprehended weapons!"

"This time, even the King level difficulty should be challengeable!"

"..."

The four people have different identities.

Artus is a magician who is preparing to change his job to a summoner.

Nancy Liya is a sharpshooter who is preparing to become a gunner.

Both Visaros and Blackstone Hammer King are ghost swords, but one wants to be a berserker and the other wants to be a sword spirit.

Although the professions they want to change to are different and the materials they need are also different, they all need to challenge the Dark Thunder Ruins of King-level difficulty.

Can I change jobs today?

It all depends on the next performance!
