World-saving Plan: The Only Savior
Chapter 107 - 107 5 Mountain and River Sword
107: Chapter 5: Mountain and River Sword 107: Chapter 5: Mountain and River Sword The Gang Store, as the name suggests, is a type of store unique to gangs.
Although the items here are much more abundant than what’s in a regular System Store, Zhang Xiaoman still noticed something peculiar at a glance.
Most of the items sold here are linked to the new gang content added by the System.
For example, the “Star Alliance Marker,” priced at 5 Star Dust.
Or the “Guild Member Summon Order,” priced at 50 Star Dust.
There are even items like the “Unbinding Card,” priced at 150 Star Dust.
“An Unbinding Card!
Could it be that this thing allows me to retrieve the Star Rings I’ve already sent out?” exclaimed Zhang Xiaoman, his mind immediately thinking of certain aspects of the Star Rings.
There was no helping it; after all, something as important as a Star Ring, although expensive to purchase an Unbinding Card, still provided him with an additional way out.
“It’s just that I have no idea what ‘Star Dust’ actually is…” Zhang Xiaoman pondered with some confusion in his mind.
He continued to browse the store, but he couldn’t find any information about “Star Dust.” Left with no choice, he had to put aside the issue for the moment and focus on another important matter.
Prize Draw!
Zhang Xiaoman adjusted the System interface to the lucky draw section and checked the remaining number of draws.
There were surprisingly 13 left, one more than just a moment ago.
In other words, it had turned to midnight of the next day, and the daily draw count had increased!
“I just don’t know based on whose time the System’s draw refresh is calculated.
It can’t possibly be local time…”
He glanced at his watch, which had stopped for a period because of the chaos in the magnetic field area.
Although it was running again now, the time was all messed up.
“Forget it, I’ll adjust the time first, let’s just consider it the initial time of the Original World Space-Time.”
As he said this, he calibrated the hands of his watch and set them to 0 o’clock.
“Now, onto the enjoyable part of the lucky draw…” Zhang Xiaoman rubbed his hands together, eyes shining.
His fingertips rapidly tapped on the draw function 13 times, using up all the accumulated draws from the past few days all at once, hoping it would increase his chances of getting rare items.
However, the results the System displayed left him somewhat dumbfounded.
“Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Star Dust.”
…
…
“Congratulations, you have obtained a blue item—Mountain and River Sword.”
“Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Star Dust.”
…
…
“Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Spirit Exploration Technique.”
“Congratulations, you have obtained a white item—Star Dust.”
…
…
“Congratulations, you have obtained a blue item—A Dragon Egg that will hatch soon.”
…
With a series of such prompts, Zhang Xiaoman’s expression gradually turned animated.
He never expected that Star Dust, which he couldn’t find any way to acquire just a moment ago, would all of a sudden come into his possession—and in such abundance, no less.
“So that’s where the Star Dust comes from!” he exclaimed quietly, feeling that after the System had activated the gang update, a lot of things had suddenly changed.
It was like a major game patch was released, and he found it difficult to adapt all at once.
“The lottery draw this time didn’t seem to get me any gray items.
Could it be that I’ll never draw gray items again?
Is it because they’ve been replaced by this new Star Dust?…
But this actually seems quite nice, better than always drawing quirky gray trash…”
While pondering, Zhang Xiaoman watched the spatial fluctuations that continued to appear in front of him and then, item after item began falling from them.
He held them suspended in mid-air with his thoughts, preventing them from falling to the ground.
Looking at the pile of things floating in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman counted them carefully—yes, there were 13 in total.
“Ten portions of Star Dust, one white Magic Technique of Spirit Detection Technique, and two blue items—the Mountain and River Sword and a Dragon Egg…” He categorized them one by one and soon, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
“Hmm, not bad!
I got lucky this time with two blue-grade items.
One of them is a Dragon Egg and it’s about to hatch!
Holy moly, does that mean I’m about to own a dragon!?” As this thought crossed his mind, Zhang Xiaoman’s smile grew even brighter.
Eager to see what the hatchling might be, Zhang Xiaoman picked up the egg floating in front of him and cradled it in his arms.
It was surprisingly heavy, weighing at least around 30 pounds.
The moment he focused his attention on the Dragon Egg, its attribute panel popped up before his eyes.
[Dragon Egg About to Hatch]
This is a Dragon Egg about to hatch, containing one White Dragon.
——Honey, just 20 more years and it’ll hatch.
Zhang Xiaoman: “…”
“Can somebody tell me where the System customer service is?
I want to make a complaint!”
When Zhang Xiaoman saw the item’s description given by the System, he was dumbfounded, almost throwing the Dragon Egg he held in his hands out of sheer frustration.
“This is some sort of joke, right?
It’s going to take another 20 years to hatch, and you tell me it’s about to hatch!?” Zhang Xiaoman was thoroughly annoyed.
If the System Elf were present at the moment, it would certainly say with a sense of grievance, “For the Dragon Clan, this really is about to hatch!”
Looking at the hefty white object before him, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t want to throw it away but also found it an eyesore to keep around.
Now he finally understood the feeling of something being tasteless yet too valuable to discard.
In the end, with no better options, Zhang Xiaoman reluctantly set it aside, consoling himself by thinking that maybe the hatch time might decrease with the next Upgrade.
Having drawn two blue items and one already proving to be a dud, Zhang Xiaoman naturally pinned all his hopes on the remaining item.
[Mountain and River Sword]
A sword as renowned as the Nine Provinces Spear, forged from Olharast Steel, impervious to both water and fire.
——The treasure sword suppresses mountains and rivers, the divine spear commands the Nine Provinces.
“Phew~ Thankfully this isn’t some snake oil item, finally some good news…”
Zhang Xiaoman let out a breath of relief, his hanging heart finally settling down.
He felt that the System had made him a bit too jumpy recently.
Reaching for the Mountain and River Sword floating in the air, Zhang Xiaoman was surprised by its weight when he took hold of it; it was even heavier than the Dragon Egg.
If it weren’t for his recent physical training, he might have struggled to carry it.
Examining the thing in his hand, what Zhang Xiaoman was holding didn’t appear to be just a simple sword.
By looks, it seemed more like a giant guitar case.
He knew this must be the Sword Box meant to contain the sword.
The tip of the Sword Box had a set of slits, from which the sword should be able to be drawn directly.
However, Zhang Xiaoman found the latch and opened the Sword Box completely from the side instead.
The next moment, when he saw what was inside the Sword Box, an expression of surprise froze on Zhang Xiaoman’s face.
This time, however, it wasn’t the System messing with him, on the contrary, Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat delighted.
He had imagined that such a large Sword Box would house a massive, heavy, and crude Western wide-blade sword.
However, the reality was that inside the Sword Box was not some colossal knight sword but a set of nine slim longswords gleaming with a cold light!
