Lu Jin had not been very interested in the Item Lottery function.
It was because he was poor.
Furthermore, in a world shrouded by mist, it was significantly more difficult to obtain memory fragments than in the internal beta test. Even if he could earn more than 100 units of memory fragments in a day, he would not be able to afford to play the Item Lottery.
In addition, the Normal Item Lottery rewards were mediocre. More than 90% of the time, one could only obtain a Normal-type item or potion.
For example, Trap Cards, Guardian Cards, Weapon Runes, Basic Anti-Insanity Potions, Basic Restoration Potions, Basic Antidotes, et cetera.
A total of 100 units of memory fragments were needed for a chance at the Item Lottery. Yet, those Normal-type items and potions were sold in item shops in the city. Their prices were also very cheap. They were generally sold between a few units of memory fragments and a dozen units of memory fragments.
There were rarely any items worth 100 units of memory fragments.
Items such as the mini-electronic storage bag, which had 30 slots, were usually sold at 120 units to 150 units of memory fragments. But actually, the cost of production was at most 20 units to 30 units of memory fragments. It was considered an extremely lucrative business.
However, even if ordinary players had memory fragments, they would not create those items.
That was because it was like coding. Or rather, it was a form of manifestation of coding. Memory fragments were the craftsmen’s code. Without systematic learning, even if they had blueprints, players would not be able to craft them. It was a real skill.
Furthermore, even if players did not have memory fragments, those items could be bought directly with credits. The price ranged from 100 credits to a few hundred credits. The only issue was that there was a limit to the number of the items that players could buy.
With 100 units of memory fragments, in this world, one could purchase a decent Rare-type equipment from popular weapon shops in the City of Light. If they were lucky, they could even get multiple decent Rare-type equipment.
If one really wanted to benefit from Item Lotteries, one would have to draw from the Rare Item Lottery and the Special Item Lottery.
Through the Rare Item Lottery, although players still had a 50% chance of getting a Normal-type item or potion, they had a 30% chance of getting a Rare-type item and even a 10% chance of getting a Rare accessory. There was a 5% chance of getting a Rare-type item blueprint, a 3% chance of getting a Scroll of Restoration and a 2% chance of getting a Magic-type item.
Not to mention, the incomparably precious Magic-type items and the simply Rare accessories could not even be exchanged for 10,000 units of memory fragments.
In Fantasy World, accessories were different from weapons and equipment. Weapons and equipment could only increase Attack and Defense, but accessories could enhance the basic stats of players.
That’s right!
Due to the fact that the potential of a player’s basic stats was fixed by the player’s body, accessories were the only things that could increase a player’s basic stats. A player could equip a total of three items, namely a ring, a pendant and a wristband.
Back then, even the internal beta testers rarely managed to gather three Rare-type accessories.
The rewards from the Special Item Lottery were even more astonishing.
There was a 50% chance of obtaining a Rare-type item or potion, a 20% chance of obtaining a Scroll of Restoration, a 10% chance of obtaining a Magic-type item, a 5% chance of obtaining a Magic-type item blueprint, a 5% chance of obtaining an Everlasting Stats Enhancement Potion, a 2% chance of obtaining a Key to the Mystic Realm, a 2% chance of obtaining a Book of Skill, and a 1% chance of obtaining a Magic-type accessory.
“Other than the crystal residues that I acquired, there are also some memory fragments stored in the house. I have a total of 10,104 units of memory fragments now.” Lu Jin could not help but take out the Fantasy Gold Card that Qin Lianyue had given him. After pondering for a moment, he thought, “The AR progress has been much slower than I expected. I’m afraid that it will take quite some time for me to break through level 10. In the short term, I don’t really have much of a need for memory fragments. If the number of times I drew from the Item Lottery was too few, I won’t be able to get anything good at all. I might as well use all 10,000 units of memory fragments on the Special Item Lottery. This way, I might even be able to land a windfall.”
It could be said that Lu Jin was very experienced when it came to the Item Lottery.
If he drew the lottery once in a long time, there was an 80% chance or more that it would be one of the rewards that he would have typically gotten 50% of the time. On the contrary, if he drew the lottery a few times in a row, the chances of getting other rewards would be higher.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained. As long as I get a Magic-type item, I might be able to earn it all back!”
Lu Jin made up his mind and emptied 10,000 units of memory fragments from the Fantasy Gold Card into the Special Item Lottery, planning to draw 10 times in a row.
After Lu Jin deposited the memory fragments, a huge wheel appeared in front of his eyes. The needle on the wheel started to spin rapidly.

“Stop!” Lu Jin shouted as he looked at the spinning needle.
In that instant, the needle started to slow down. Lu Jin was anxious about the sector of the wheel that the needle would stop at as it slowed down. Finally, after four to five seconds, the needle stopped at the Rare item sector.
System: Congratulations, Player! You’ve obtained a Lockdown Card. When used, the target would be unable to move for at most 20 seconds. It can be used three times. Cooldown duration is one minute.
Lu Jin consoled himself after he had seen the result. “Luckily this Lockdown Card is very practical. It’s not a loss to have gotten it. Let’s continue!”
With that, the needle started spinning again.
System: Congratulations, player! You’ve obtained a Growth Potion. When used, your speed of growth would increase by 200%. It would last for 12 hours.
“Again!”
System: Congratulations, player! You’ve obtained a Growth Potion. When used, your speed of growth would increase by 200%. It would last for 12 hours.
“I don’t believe it! Again!”
System: Congratulations, player! You’ve obtained a Growth Potion. When used, your speed of growth would increase by 200%. It would last for 12 hours.
“Again!”
System: Congratulations, player! You’ve obtained a Growth Potion. When used, your speed of growth would increase by 200%. It would last for 12 hours.
…
After nine consecutive times, Lu Jin felt a little empty.
Out of the nine times, eight of them resulted in Rare items and potions. He had obtained six bottles of Growth Potion alone. He felt that that wasn’t like a lottery at all. He was just spending 1,000 units of memory fragments to buy Growth Potions.
As for the two Rare items, they were acceptable. One was a Lockdown Card and the other was a Medium-Sized Electronic Backpack Card. After using it on a physical backpack, the physical backpack could accommodate up to 100 slots.
As for the remaining draw, he had obtained a Scroll of Restoration. The Scroll of Restoration could completely restore damaged AR systems that were Level 30 and below in five seconds. It was like the Scroll of Revival in the game. The higher the level of the player’s AR, the more valuable it was.
“This is the last time! I won’t fall for your tricks again, you Growth Potion shop!”
Lu Jin watched the huge wheel in front of him and felt the urge to curse. After spending those 10,000 units of memory fragments, he finally understood why people used to curse at the game producers.
They were real b*stards!
The rates were all lies!
It was a pity that he did not see it coming…

Lu Jin did not even bother to look. The moment the needle started spinning, he shouted for it to stop.
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds…
System: Congratulations, player! You’ve obtained a Book of Magical Skills.
