Chapter 417: Lottery Game
In the square, Alice stood in the crowd, watching the two gentlemanly men dressed in gorgeous costumes on the stage, performing wonderful swordsmanship. After watching the sword performance, Alice squeezed out of the crowd, she was already too hot to die, and even Jerk, who was lying on her shoulder, became listless. She looked around for a while, and saw Bing Zhixiao not far away shouting, "Master, what are you doing over there?"
Seeing Alice running over, Bing Zhiyi said, "They are performing alchemy, I want to see it." ”
Alice saw that more than a dozen alchemists were on several long wooden tables, mixing some materials in proportion, such as powders, cups and bottles, etc., all kinds of alchemy tools, and from time to time someone took out some materials for them from the large tent erected behind them. There are several large blankets on the ground, on which a lot of items and equipment are placed, some of them are still very new, as if they have just been refined, and there is a piece of paper on each item, with words such as 'first prize', 'second prize', 'third prize' and so on. And there are quite a few mercenaries around to guard the blankets to prevent onlookers from stealing these things.
Bing Zhiye looked at Alice so hot that she sweated on her forehead: "I'm going to buy some cold drinks, what do you want to drink?"
"Master Xiexie, I want ice cream and mint juice. Alice thought for a moment and said, "Oh, bring a cone for Yak, too, he likes to eat cold things." ”
Hearing that there was a cone to eat, the lazy Jeke stood up suddenly, blinked his little eyes, and licked Alice's cheek happily.
Alice giggled, stroked it, looked at the prizes on the ground, and asked the alchemists, "Are these things gifts?
A magician who was drawing an alchemy array smiled, "That's right, there are hundreds of items here, all of them are prizes. Isn't there a crystal jar on the table next to it? There are all kinds of colored beads in it, the golden one is the first prize, the silver one is the second prize, the orange one is the third prize, the green one is the fourth prize, the black one is the fifth prize, and the white one means that there are no prizes. In addition to these, there is also a five-colored bead inside, if you shake that, then congratulations on winning the 'S', you can be lucky enough to get the most precious prize we have given you. ”
"The most precious!" Alice's eyes lit up, and she immediately found it on the stall, but among the dazzling prizes, she didn't see an item with the word 'S' written on it: "Where is it, why didn't I see it?"
The alchemist smiled: "Such a precious thing, of course we won't put it here, if someone shakes out the five-colored beads, we will take it out." After a while, after we got the things done, we started the lottery, ten gold once. ”
"Oh, I see. Alice saw that most of the colored beads in the crystal jar were white, and the chances of winning the fourth or fifth prize were not very high. And ten gold shakes are really expensive, but if those prizes can be shaken to the fourth prize, it is not a loss, not to mention those first and second prizes, with sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as runes and relatively rare alchemy materials, can be worth a lot of money.
The people around also felt that it was a bit expensive, but looking at their expressions, they looked eager to try, spending twenty or thirty gold to draw twice, for those of them in the city, it was almost one-third of the living expenses a month, but they could make a lot of money if they could shake the first and second prizes.
Alice touched her pocket, and looked at the prizes and the crystal jar with colored beads, such a fun thing, of course she wanted to play too.
After a while, Bing Zhixiao bought the food back. Jerk, who was already sweating his hair, took the ice cream cone handed by Alice, suddenly opened his mouth wide, swallowed it in one gulp, and let out a satisfied moan after eating.
And next to it, those alchemists seem to be refining zuihou as well. They will mix haode materials and put them into different refining arrays. I saw that all those materials were suspended, and under the action of different elements, the mixed metal was pulverized into a molten metal, and the chemical liquid became a solid, and so on. Then these materials were synthesized, successively placed into the main formation, and their forms were controlled with their spiritual consciousness, and the parts of the armor came out one by one, and the blacksmith in their team combined the parts, and a blue-green magic armor came out.
There were bursts of applause around, and this armor could be seen at a glance by a discerning person, and it was indeed well refined. Bing Zhiye also clapped his hands, he had been watching since the refining of this armor. From the selection, refining, blending, and fusion of materials to the refining of zuihou, it took more than an hour, and from the refining process of this team, it can be seen that they are already very proficient in the formula and refining method of this armor, otherwise it will take a lot of time to refine a new thing.
After the alchemists put the label of the first prize on their armor and put it in the prize pile, they said, "The show is over, and now we will get to business." Our deep-sea mercenary group is already performing here for the second day, and every day, in addition to learning about the alchemy of performing, we will give you the excellent works we have refined, as well as some rare items that we have obtained from various places, as prizes. Today's prizes are abundant, and there are all kinds of things, and I also hope that everyone who participates can win the lottery and take what they want. Let's start the lottery, ten gold once, what color beads are shaken, and you should choose your favorite prize. ”
When the people around heard that the lottery was starting, many people gathered around.
The alchemist shouted: "Line up, come one by one, ten gold at a time." ”
Alice also grabbed a relatively high position, looked at the ice and childish evil on the side, and asked, "Master, don't you play?"
"I don't like this kind of game that relies on luck. Bing Zhiye said lightly.
Alice stretched out her hand and said, "Then the master will give me some more change, let me play a few more times." ”
Bingzhi gave her a white look.
Alice laughed.
The guy who grabbed the first place had already begun to shake the crank on the crystal jar, and hundreds of colored beads rolled around. The people at the back of the line all poked their heads out and stared, their eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
After tumbling for a while, a small orange bead fell into the glass trough below.
"Third prize, congratulations!" a mercenary who was presiding over the lottery next to him took out the bead and shouted loudly, and then put the orange bead back into the crystal jar, which means that the odds of winning the lottery will never change. ,
The guy who drew the prize was so happy that he immediately shook it four more times, and a green bead rolled out, which was the fourth prize.
The people in the queue behind immediately started talking, they didn't expect this prize to be so good, and they thought about their turn soon. And some people who were watching from the sidelines, considering whether to take ten gold and so much money to shake it once, also moved their minds to line up.
The mercenary who presided over the lottery said: "Okay, your fifty gold has been used up, please go to the side and choose your favorite prize." If you want to participate again, please line up at the back. ”
The guy in first place went to the prize pile next to him and chose a third-prize handguard, a bottle of fourth-prize high-grade healing medicine, and immediately went to the back to line up again. Seeing that others were looking at him with envy, he was so happy that his face smiled.
After taking the prize, someone from the Deep Sea Mercenary Group immediately took out other things from the tent in the back and filled the vacant prize.
The guy in second place originally only wanted to spend ten gold to play once, but when he saw that the first one won the third and fourth prizes, he immediately took out a handful of gold coins and a magic crystal coin from his pocket. As a result, he shook it fourteen times, and eleven white beads were shaken, and Zuihou only won two fifth-class prizes and one fourth-prize prize, and the total value did not exceed twenty gold coins.
The person who presided over the lottery next to him immediately said: "Sometimes luck is like this, some people play ten times and get white beads, while some people can shake a gold bead after playing once." The winning rate of our game is still high, but this gentleman's luck may not be very good, may he have good luck next time. ”
The guy in second place took three prizes, and looking at his crying and sad face, he looked pained, and this time he lost a hundred and forty gold in exchange for twenty gold.
The people behind looked at it and sighed for a long time, pitying this guy at the same time, they once again envied the shit luck that ranked first.
Bing Zhixiao looked at it for a while, and really saw a multicolored bead in the scroll, and many people who do this kind of game generally like to cheat and not put the card or bead of the highest prize in it.
After a while, it was Alice's turn.
The mercenary who presided over the lottery saw that it was a beautiful girl and asked, "Little girl, are you here to play too?"
"Well, that. Alice pointed to a metal collar carved with precious stones on the side of the stall, which was a beautiful piece of jewelry among the other prizes.
The host mercenary smiled: "That's the second prize, it's not so easy to get." ”
Alice looked extremely resolute: "I swear, I must get it!" said as she took out ten magic crystal coins from her pocket and slapped them on the table, "Play a hundred times." ”
The crowd fell wildly.
