Chapter 209 - Things Got Strange!

Chapter 209 Things Got Strange!Countless eyes immediately fell on Liu Qiangwei’s stunning back. Her long hair fluttering in the air, her white dress looking spotless, and her figure extremely graceful, even her back was pleasing to the eye.

Under the players’ watchful eyes, Liu Qiangwei stretched out her slender hands and pressed down the button on the lucky drawing machine.

The machine immediately started to flash wildly and suddenly, as it stopped flashing and gave out even brighter light, a line of eye-catching red words appeared on the screen at the top of the machine.

“Congratulations, Midsummer Rose! You win a —’Skill Book, Holy Light Spear’!”

“Oh my!”

The exclamation came from no one else but Xiaofeng. He showed an expression of surprise and joy as he watched the name of the Skill Book on the screen.

“Hurry! Check out the attribute of this Skill Book! Is it an attacking skill for priests?” said Xiaofeng to Liu Qiangwei in a hurried tone.

Without hesitation, Liu Qiangwei took her eyes of amazement off the machine and opened her backpack to check the attribute of the Skill Book.

It actually was an attacking skill!

Xiaofeng was overjoyed upon finding it. Skill Books about attacking skills were exactly what he needed the most at the moment, and these kinds of books were even more precious than artifacts.

Powerful as Treasure Pavilion was, it possessed none Skill Book of attacking skills but a number of Skill Books of normal BUFF for priests, which proved that the former was really of great value!

Moreover, the Skill Book Liu Qiangwei won had a good quality and was a rare one just like Hammer of Judgment, only that its attacking power was not as strong as the later, but it was a long-range skill with target-controlling effect. As a result, it had an incomparable attraction to Xiaofeng.

“Hurry! Give it to me!”

Xiaofeng yelled at Liu Qiangwei excitedly as if he had seen a naked beauty. There was upset in Liu Qiangwei’s eyes because all Xiaofeng concerned about was the Skill Book and he even did not spare her any glance as if he was immune to her charm that she was proud of.

The players of Huaxia District standing nearby all remained dead silent. They had learned of Master Healer’s power and knew that Master Healer would be a deadly threat to other players if he got that Skill Book of attacking skills.

What confused them was that Master Healer actually asked Midsummer Guild for the Skill Book. The hatred between Master Healer and the guild was nothing new for these players, most of whom had to be core members of big guilds given that they had been able to participate in the event and knew every detail of how Master Healer and the guild had become enemies.

They would be astonished if Midsummer Guild really gave the book to Master Healer.

Xiaofeng was confused for a moment as well for Liu Qiangwei made no response to his request of making a deal.

Xiaofeng raised his head, and with a frown, he looked into Liu Qiangwei’s beautiful but sad eyes and he furrowed his eyebrows even harder.

“Hurry! What are you waiting for?”

Xiaofeng sounded unpleasant. However, he did not say those words to Liu Qiangwei in public but in private.

Liu Qiangwei caught the anger in Xiaofeng’s tone. The upset in her eyes disappeared, and from the looks of it, she had accepted the fact and handed the Skill Book to Xiaofeng indifferently.

Xiaofeng was overjoyed as he took the Skill Book. Ignoring Liu Qiangwei, he immediately started to learn the skill before paying attention to the lucky drawing machine again.

Immortal equipment, rare Skill Books, these awards showed that the machine started to give out something really precious after so many useless things.

It also showed that the players were not far from getting an artifact from the machine!

Xiaofeng took in a deep breath, checked the 1.2 million points he had, and went forward to the lucky drawing machine in confidence.

Then, he pressed down the starting button on the machine. His action drew attention from everyone around, including Thor, who watched Xiaofeng’s action nervously.

“Congratulations, Dad! You won a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

As the machine flashed, this line of words appeared on the screen, upon seeing which, Xiaofeng frowned again.

“How strange!”

There was only about one hour before the event would end, and the lucky drawing machine did start to give out big prizes. However, with so many Luck points, Xiaofeng won nothing from it.

At the same time, the players around began to look at Xiaofeng with strange eyes because his character name was shown on the machine. For the first time, many players present had been able to know his character name and they were amazed by it.

Xiaofeng frowned but did not give up; he stretched out his hand again and tried another five times.

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

…

The five same prompts brought the place into silence, and after a short moment in stillness, discussions of low voice broke out.

“Look, the number one on the Treasure Island Raid Leaderboard suffered a decrease of sixty thousand points. Never thought the man would be a player from Huaxia District!”

“Oh my! He has 1.2 million points! Amazing!”

“Master Healer had bad luck. He won nothing in six tries.”

“Be patient. He has so many points and may win some good stuff in the end.”

“I agree. I have confidence in him. With so many Luck points, he didn’t make any try until just now. He won’t give up with nothing.”

Discussions were heard continuously. Everyone looked at Xiaofeng anxiously except for Thor. He looked at ease as he saw Xiaofeng won nothing after six tries. No one knew better than him how deceptive the lucky drawing machine was as he had spent hundreds of thousands of Luck points on it but earned nothing. Thus, he was rather happy to see Xiaofeng follow his footsteps.

Xiaofeng looked terrible. His eyes turned sharp, and he gnashed his teeth as he gave it another ten tries in succession.

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

…

Nothing was awarded again!

The players around had stopped talking and all looked at Xiaofeng in silence and held their breath except for Thor, who laughed brightly and soundlessly.

Xiaofeng glared at the machine. To get some fresh air, he took off his Dragon’s Skull, revealing his black hair. He took a deep breath and gave it another ten tries in succession.

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

…

Yet again, he won nothing from the machine!

Silence!

Dead silence!

Thor stopped laughing and looked at the lucky drawing machine in confusion. Although he had not won anything precious from the machine, he did get some prizes more or less. Winning nothing in 26 tries was a rare thing even to him.

At the moment, he could tell things got different or even strange.

Xiaofeng loosened his collar and took in several deep breaths. Then, he stretched out hand and gave it ten tries once more.

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

…

Unsurprisingly, he won nothing at all.

At the point, all the players around had a feeling that things went strange. However deceptive the lucky drawing machine was, it was impossible to win nothing from it even after 36 tries!

Xiaofeng’s face turned as black as a sweep. From his heavy gasp, others could tell he was somewhat enraged by the machine.

Xiaofeng’s eyes looked fierce. Things were absolutely abnormal! It was unreasonable that Xiaofeng had won nothing after 36 tries, given that his Luck points were so high. With Xiaobai and several pieces of equipment that could increase his Luck points, Xiaofeng’s Luck points ranked top among all the players.

However, it was true that he won nothing in 36 tries. Xiaofeng’s eyes turned cold as he gazed at the 840,000 points he had at the moment.

“Brother Xiao, let it go. This machine is definitely a deceptive one. Use your points to exchange for something useful. You need Attributes as well, don’t you?”

“Yes, Master Xiao, screw the damn cheating machine.”

“Let it go, Master Healer!”

Nicholas Tiezhu, Su Tingting, and many other players from Huaxia District all tried to persuade Xiaofeng to give up for they could not bear to see Xiaofeng waste any more points.

“Hey, have you finished your business yet? Enemies from other districts are coming at us!”

At the moment, battling sounds echoed outside the Bonus Area. There was one hour left before the event would end, and players from other districts also came to the Bonus Area to try their luck. They came to blows with the players from Huaxia District quickly after some disputes.

Upon hearing the noise, many players from Huaxia District withdrew their attention from Xiaofeng and rushed out the area to fight. They had used up their points, so, even if they got killed, there was nothing more to lose, but if they managed to kill some enemies and earn tens of thousands of points, that would be great.

Moreover, it was a rare scene to come across that the players of Huaxia District occupied the Bonus Area, drawing an end to the event. As a member of Huaxia District, no one wanted to miss the scene. Thus, everyone let out shout of excitement.

Xiaofeng ignored the noise and fixed his eyes on the lucky drawing machine as if he had heard nothing about what was happening outside. He gave it ten tries on the machine in succession.

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”

“Congratulations, Dad! You win a—’Thanks for Your Participation’.”
