『 Goblin LV.7 』
『 Goblin LV.6 』
Within a spacious hall inside a cave before a huge door stood a group of goblins. By using the presence detection skill, the signal alarm her the presence of the group of goblins ahead. It didn't go through the door for some reason unknown to her so she couldn't tell what was inside and the amount of monster in there. But by looking at how the door looks like, it must be the door to the boss room.
Sheila didn't take action just yet and stay quietly behind a huge stone covering her whole body. A thought appears in her mind before a game-like window pops up in the air of her front view.
『 Lottery 』
『 1 Draw — 50G
10 Draw — 500G 』
『 Gold: 730 』
She wanted to save the gold to buy a weapon from the shop, but it would definitely take a long time to able to buy one. A standard weapon such as sword, spear or the modern gun, all of them is pretty cheap. What did people say whenever they see a low price? Buy it. But she feels like it would be a waste to do that and instead would like to buy an enchanted weapon. For example; heavenly bricks have the skill where if you knock the brick on someone head, they would be stunned for a while. It was not long but good enough for one to take care of them.
Or imagine having an enchanted weapon such as spear that would burst flame on the spearhead. That's such a cool weapon that Sheila wishes she could get on her hand. But the price for an enchanted weapon, even with the lowest price is amount to one thousand gold. The price depends on what kind of enchantment that was put on the weapon and the low the price, means that the weapon is likely useless. One example of that is an enchanted sabre that would grow stronger with the owner, but it was just for a short moment before the sabre will be shattered into a broken glass.
If Sheila hadn't read the information of the sabre until the end, she would have ended up being trick and bought it then and there. It's a weapon that grows stronger with the owner! It reminds of her one of the game that she plays. It was such a cliche weapon.
Anyway, she couldn't wait for the gold to save up and decide to rely on the lottery. Back then, she had acquired Trial Tower's key and Disguise skill book, both coming from the item category, which seems weird to her since shouldn't the skill book be in the skill category? Or is it that the skill that one gets from a skill category would immediately learn and could be used as soon as possible? Maybe that was why the skill book was in the item category since she needs to put her hand on top of the book in order to learn the skill.
Sheila had enough of sidetrack thought as she shakes her head off before sending her thought into the lottery screen in front of her view. From 730 gold into 230 gold in seconds as the lottery starts to spin round after round. All she has to do now was to send another thought to stop the spin. She didn't pray to any God when she starts the lottery spin as she feels like it won't matter.
She nervously stares at the spinning lottery in her view for a while before gritting her teeth and sending the thought to stop the spin. The moment she sends out the thought, she immediately closed her eyes shut. A few seconds passed, yet she feels like an hour has gone by. It's okay; It shouldn't be that bad. I'm lucky. She started to brainwash herself by consoling her weak mind against the all-mighty gacha. She had too much trauma of it due to a specific game about fighting for the holy grail with a beautiful slave girl. The gacha system in that game was too wicked.
She didn't remember how many times has she punch her pillow in frustration of not getting her favourite girl from the gacha with all the money and time she had spent on it. But at the end of it, she was able to finally acquired it amidst all the unluckiness. It was probably because she had used up all of the bad luck inside her, which in turn giving her the good luck that she needed.
