Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 206 The Temptation of the Golden Scroll

One hundred and sixty spirit crystals per draw isn't too expensive.

The key point is that if you're lucky, you can get it done for very little money.

Hu Yanfei believes he is somewhat lucky; otherwise, he wouldn't have been born into such a good family.

"You're guaranteed a Gold Scroll or Wish Scroll with every 100 pulls, right? Let's try 100 pulls first."

A mere 16000 spirit crystals? That's nothing!

Top up and redeem in one go.

Go straight for a 10-pull:
【Leopard Tail General - Copper Axis】Instance.

Rubbing of the bronze version of the "Bull-Headed Yin General" (牛头阴帅).

Underworld Outpost Ticket ×1
Thank you for your patronage
……

A ten-pull doesn't seem like such a bad deal.

"Leopard Tail, one of the Ten Great Yin Marshals?" Hu Yanfei scoffed.

A worthless bronze scroll is certainly not worthy of his noble gold-ranked status; he came here for the gold scroll.

However, according to the rules in the announcement, if you draw a picture scroll card that you don't like or don't need, it seems that you can break it down and recycle it into points, which can be exchanged for gold scrolls, wish scrolls and some miscellaneous items in the points shop.

In addition, five identical copper axes can be exchanged for corresponding silver axis scrolls.

The "Underworld Outpost Ticket" is understandable, but what the heck is the "Fragment of Yin Soldiers"?

According to the card description, ten fragments can be combined to form a complete Yin Soldier Card, which can then be exchanged for a Yin Soldier at the Underworld Club.

"A special scroll?"

Hu Yanfei muttered to himself, but didn't pay much attention, and then another ten consecutive wins followed.

Meanwhile, on the official website forum, netizens were already discussing it heatedly, and the discussion had completely exploded.

"What the heck? They're doing a lottery for the release of a picture scroll?"

"Is this really reasonable?"

"One hundred and sixty spirit crystals for one draw? Why don't you just rob me?"

"Didn't you see that a ten-pull guarantees a bronze scroll? Actually, it's quite a bit cheaper."

"Cheap? What if you get one you don't like?"

"Isn't there a trading system right next to it? If you don't want the hassle, you can break it down into points and exchange them for various card pool items."

"Damn, they've thought of that quite thoroughly."

"Although I don't understand why they would do this, after looking at it, it seems quite reasonable."

"What if I keep failing to draw the scroll I want?"

"The supplementary terms of the announcement clearly state that this lottery system uses a special mechanism that significantly increases the probability of getting the scroll that matches your account when the guaranteed reward is triggered."

"What the heck? The computer can even tell me what kind of picture scroll I want? And what kind of picture scroll suits me?"

“Isn’t this too much?”

"So, have any rich guys tried this? What was it like?"

"Hehe, one ten-pull and I got the [Black and White Impermanence]! That's it!"

"Really? Or is it a shill?"

"What do you mean by 'shill'? Quite a few people in the group have already posted their orders."

"Damn it, a bunch of seals, I'm so jealous! Why can't I get the picture scroll I want?"

"I must be unlucky. No, I have to try again."

After some initial discussion and experimentation, more and more netizens decided to try it out for themselves.

Those who were lucky would post screenshots and share them online, while those who weren't would post complaints online, making the entire forum extremely lively.

Among them are some wealthy but easily addicted players who get more and more excited as they smoke.

Take our young master Hu Yanfei for example. After getting the [Day Wanderer - Silver] dungeon after 50 pulls, he continued with 10 pulls.

It wasn't until I was close to the pity system after ninety pulls that I finally got a [Golden Scroll Wish Scroll].

Immediately, I rushed to the Gold Scroll gacha pool.

After firing the first shot, I only got one complete [Elite Ghost Soldier] card.

"Tsk~ So this is where the real trap was!"

Hu Yanfei then realized that there was no pity system in the Golden Scroll card pool; it all depended on fate and luck.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe it."

So I decisively recharged and started a crazy ten-pull mode. I dismantled all the scrolls I drew and exchanged the points for gold scroll wish scrolls, which I then poured into the gold scroll gacha pool. Unfortunately, I still didn't get a gold scroll qualification.

Despite his frustration, Hu Yanfei wasn't concerned about the money he'd invested; what bothered him was why he couldn't win the gold ticket. Meanwhile, on the official forum, netizens had gradually moved from initial confusion to accepting this method.

"You know what, it's actually quite interesting."

"It's kind of addictive, guys."

"If I hadn't already drawn the scroll I wanted, I would have liked to try my luck a few more times."

"What are you hesitating for? Just pull it and be done with it. You can sell it to other netizens even if you don't need it! Besides, aren't you going to upgrade to the silver switch later?"

"That's right! I'll start drawing now!"

"Does anyone know what these [Ghost Soldier Fragments] and [Ghost Soldier Fragments] are used for? Ten fragments are combined to form a complete card."

"It seems like you're going to the club to exchange for something, like souvenirs or something?"

"It doesn't seem like it based on the description!"

"I don't know. My previous Silver Axis order compensation was an Elite Ghost Soldier Card. I'll go ask the Underworld Club later."

"No, no, why do I feel like the ghost soldiers in this character art look familiar?"

"Holy crap, aren't these the strange elite monsters from the bizarre abyss control zone we encountered before?"

“I remember now, those ghost soldiers and monsters had no hostility towards the Yin General's Scroll, and even fought alongside it.”

"What does this mean? You can exchange these special monsters from the club? Really?"

"So, in other words, our great Yin Shuai Scroll can also lead troops into battle?"

"Hiss~ I think I understand why the Scroll of the Shadow General is called the Shadow General?"

"Where did the Underworld Club get so many ghostly soldiers and monsters?"

"Please wait a moment, everyone. My home is quite close to the Underworld Club. I'll go and exchange for a Yin Soldier to try it out."

"I need help urgently!"

……

Huyan City, inside the Huyan family mansion.

Hu Yanfei's face gradually turned red, and after sending out thirteen golden scrolls of prayer, he didn't get a single one.

"This is disgusting!"

Is it just bad luck, or is the Gold Scroll gacha pool too unpredictable?
Logically speaking, my luck shouldn't be this bad, right?
Unconvinced, Hu Yanfei went to the forum, hoping to find other netizens who shared the same experience and complain together about this disgusting gacha system.

However, it was discovered that someone had already posted their Gold Voucher eligibility card. Upon clicking on the post, it was found to be from a netizen named "Saving Money to Buy a House." Judging from the name, he was clearly not a rich guy and hadn't spent much money.

[Saving Money to Buy a House]: "Oh my god! Oh my god! I think I won! I'm so excited, what should I do!"

Below was the card illustration, gleaming with gold and packed with special effects.

[Horse-faced Yin General - Gold] With this voucher, you can order the corresponding gold voucher for this club. Materials are not required.

The back of the card details the material requirements for making the gold-plated card.

The post immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch and discuss it.

"Holy crap! Someone already got the gold ticket qualification so quickly?"

"What?! The poster only used one Golden Scroll Wish Scroll to get it? And this Golden Scroll Wish Scroll was obtained during the 60th draw?"

"Damn it! Comparing yourself to others is just awful!"

"Waaaaah, I've already used two Golden Scrolls for Wishing, and I haven't gotten anything."

"Let me absorb some luck first, I'll absorb it, I'll absorb it, I'll absorb it—!"

"Wait a minute, has Horse-Faced Yin General gotten the gold coins?"

"Really? Aren't the Ten Great Yin Marshals just lower-level scrolls? They can be upgraded to gold scrolls?"

"If the Silver Scroll Yin General is this powerful, won't he be able to ascend to the heavens after being promoted to the Gold Scroll?"

"I haven't heard anything about the Golden Scroll Yin General before. I really want to see his demeanor."

"Are you selling, OP? Let's discuss the price privately. You won't be disappointed."

"A 'Golden Ticket' qualification—if you could sell that, wouldn't you achieve financial freedom instantly?"

"Only a fool would sell it. Who knows if I'll be so lucky next time?"

"Yes, that's a Gold Scroll qualification! The lifelong pursuit of all of us Spirit Masters!"

Not long after, the original poster, who had been saving money to buy a house, changed their name to "Saving Money with Golden Scrolls and Horse-Face" and replied: "I'm sorry, although my family is of average means, I will absolutely not transfer this god-given opportunity to anyone else."

I hope everyone can draw their favorite picture scroll. Good luck! Respect!

"I knew the poster wouldn't sell. If it were me, I would sell everything I own to save up the gold coins."

"We should take out a loan too. With the gold coupons, how can we not be afraid of not being able to repay the loan?"
