Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The players’ impression of the special channel was still of it before the Midnight Invasions.
At that time, there would be a notification when a player died.
But now, the special channel no longer provided notifications when players died. Instead, it now showed notifications when items were sold out.
“Fuck, the gold-forging materials are really out of stock now. Looks like we can only wait for the next round!”
“Also, why are there people snatching the unknown scrolls and treasure chests? Do they think they’ll be that lucky? They might just lose their pants!”
“Hurry up. guys. Look at the top of the contribution points market. It’s showing the countdown!”
“No way. The countdown is in five minutes. Does this mean that all the goods in the store will be taken off the shelves after five minutes?”
As the players were talking about the lack of goods, they still kept an eye on the countdown.
When the five minutes were over, a panel appeared.
[Ding! The world of Sword and Magic reminds its players that the boss of the contribution points market will be restocking it soon. Please wait for the next opening time!]
It was just as the players had expected.
They knew that there was no way to buy anything when the countdown ended.
However, in this short period of time, they had spent most of their contribution points.
Therefore, the players were hoping that the next opening time would be delayed until they had enough contribution points.
Then, this was when the players clicked into the special channel again.
They found a message saying that the items were all sold out.
[Ding! A reminder to all players that the unknown item has been sold out in the contribution points market. Restocking is in progress…]
Previously, there were unknown scrolls and unknown treasure chests. Now there were unknown props, too.
Some of the players thought about it and realized that something was wrong.
Was it possible?
Were there better things in these unknown items?
However, this was just speculation. The players would not know unless they bought an unknown item the next time and found out for themselves.
Soon, many people posted the items they bought on the world channel.
“Guys, can you see the picture I uploaded? Jade necklace (silver).jpg.”
“Fuck. I took a look at the picture. It has both attributes and a description.”
“Interesting, interesting. I didn’t think that the things I bought in this market were worthy to be posted here.”
“Guys, look at what I just bought. Five-colored gem (gold).jpg!”
“Hey, that five-colored gem of yours can increase intelligence by about 200 points. It’s a good item to wear on your body!”
“Fuck, look at the picture that other big shot posted. He said he got it from opening an unknown treasure chest!”
“What! Can you get such high-quality things from an unknown treasure chest?”
The players were showing off and got distracted by the different things people were posting on the chat.
After scrolling back up, they realized that there was a message they had overlooked.
The message said this.
“I think I’m pretty lucky. I got a familiar egg from one of the three unknown treasure chests I bought. It is from the dragon bloodline! You guys can take a look at it here. Familiar egg (platinum).jpg!”
“Damn!”
“A platinum familiar egg!”
“Fuck…What sort of incredible luck is this? I”m a beastmaster and my pet is only on the silver tier!”
“Oh my God, I’m so envious. If I knew this earlier I would have bought an unknown treasure chest for sure. Why didn’t anyone tell me that I could get a platinum tier item from it?”
“I’ve realized something. As long as the items in the contribution points market have a specific name, they’re below the gold tier. But things from the unknown treasure chest can be above that tier!”
“Quick, look! Someone has uploaded a picture of an item from an unknown treasure chest!”
“What?! Another one!!!”
The players were incredibly shocked by their discovery, but could not help themselves and wanted to see this too.
They saw the guild masters of the eleven guilds showing off the items they had obtained on the world channel.
“I just obtained an item from an unknown treasure chest. I don’t know if it’s good or not, but can one of you help me take a look? Automatic recovery bottle (platinum).jpg!”
“I got this from an unknown scroll and I don’t know how powerful it is. Can someone help me check it out?
I don’t know if this item from an unknown scroll is powerful or not, but can you guys help me take a look? Gun swordsman class scroll (platinum).jpg!”
“…”
When the players saw the news, they felt their hearts beat faster.
All of them got platinum class items, but these guild masters actually came over to ask if the items were good or not?
It was obvious that the guild leaders were out to flaunt their items and make others jealous.
The players felt as though their hearts had been cut into a thousand pieces and their bodies were covered in wounds.
“Oh my God… I’m so jealous!” The players cried out in misery.
Then, the players started looking at the pictures of the items.
[Automatic recovery bottle (platinum)]
[Description: Automatically uses the player’s stored recovery potion when HP drops below 30%!]
“Oh my God! With this, you won’t be afraid of ambushes or being unable to heal in time…”
“This automatic recovery function is simply amazing!”
…
[Gun swordsman class scroll (platinum)]
[Description: Before level 20, this class scroll can be used to replace your original class. After level 20, you can use this scroll to become a dual-class player!]
“Fuck. The gun swordsman class. I’ve seen an expert in this class. He could do all sorts of explosive kills!”
“Although this class scroll is useless in the late stages, it’s very valuable in the early and middle stages!”
“Most importantly, whoever uses the class scroll can become a dual class player!”
“That’s the dual class that I’ve always dreamed of! Oh, my dreams have come true!”
..
The players’ envious voices continued to ring out, flooding the world channel.
By now, they understood that in the contribution points market, the items labelled with the world “unknown” were the good stuff.
Once these unknown items were opened, the players would be able to obtain higher-level props and scrolls.
At this moment, the guild masters of the eleven guilds gathered together, each revealing a brilliant smile.
“Thank you, Maise the God! He was the one who gave me my first platinum tier tool!”
The master of the Sloan Guild sighed as he held the automatic recovery bottle.
The masters of the other guilds nodded and said,
“We’ve also obtained a platinum tier item!”
“This is all thanks to Maise the God!”
“Let’s send a message to Maise the God right now and thank him personally!”
The masters of the eleven guilds came up with the video, edited it, and sent it over.
..
Jiang Bai and Su Muxue headed towards Night City!
As they were on the way there, Jiang Bai took out the unknown item that he bought from the contribution points store.
In his previous life, there was an ordinary player who got lucky and only used five contribution points to buy this unknown item. In the end, that player laid his hands on a one-of-a-kind item. There was only one in the entire server.
From then on, he had reached the pinnacle of his life!
Just as Jiang Bai was about to open the unknown item, Su Muxue’s voice came from beside him.
“The guild masters of the eleven guilds have all sent messages to thank you…”
“Should you send something back?”
Su muxue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Jiang Bai.
