DN : [59] Eight Normal Draws!
🕑 Added 2024-01-15 16:00:12 +0000 UTCWithout lingering on the 28th floor, now that the adamantite ore has been obtained, it's time to go back.
However, compared to the hurried rush to get here, August was more casual on the way back. There was no rush, as the items were already in hand and wouldn't run away. Whenever they went back, it was fine—sooner or later.
As they traveled, August opened the gacha draw interface.
What to do?
Of course, draw gacha!
For a gacha enthusiast, having the opportunity to draw gacha was absolutely indispensable. This time, it was eight gacha draws. Even though they were all normal draws, with this many attempts, there was bound to be some good stuff.
Opening the gacha draw interface, August began drawing...
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Premium White Wine*100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Roast Suckling Pig *100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Automatic Smelting Furnace (Magic Stone Version)!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Sausage *500!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the skill: Getsuga Tenshou!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Coke *200!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Pizza *100!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a weapon: Murasame!]
[Automatic Smelting Furnace (Magic Stone Version): Can automatically smelt raw ore by adding magic stones. Convenient! Fast! But it will consume a large amount of magic stones!]
[Getsuga Tenshou: Sword skill, gathering one's magic power at the tip of the sword and releasing it as a crescent moon-shaped blade!]
[Murasame: Teigu, One Kill Guaranteed, Murasame. One of the forty-eight Teigu. When cut, it will infect the wound with a curse and cause rapid death. There is no antidote. One strike, one kill!]
August was somewhat surprised. With eight draws, he managed to get three good items.
And all of them were quite valuable. The automatic smelting furnace was definitely something that could make August wealthy, especially since he was currently dealing in adamantite ore.
Then there was Getsuga Tenshou, a signature skill of Ichigo Kurosaki, and Murasame, a weapon specifically designed for killing. Both were excellent for August.
As for the other items, they were all good things for August—Premium White Wine, Roast Suckling Pig, Sausage, Coke, and Pizza. Especially the Premium White Wine, which August had only heard of before he crossed over, let alone tasted.
"Ais, are you hungry?"
"Huh?"
"I'll treat you to some sausages."
Saying this, August took out three or four sausages and handed them over.
Although Ais was puzzled, she accepted them. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.
August always managed to produce some strange and delicious food. Although she hadn't seen them before, the taste was always good.
As for August, watching Ais eat sausages, he unexpectedly had some unpleasant thoughts.
This forced August to repeatedly chant the 'Purification Spell.'
If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky won't fall...
Several hours later, the two finally returned to Orario.
After the round trip, the night had already fallen. There was no sense of time passing in the underground dungeon, but upon exiting, the rapid passage of time was evident.
Seeing that it was already so late, August and Ais quickly rushed back to their familia.
Inside the familia, lights were on everywhere. After all, this afternoon, August had just gone to get the goods, and the next step would be the first cooperation.
"You finally came back."
Gareth, who had been waiting anxiously in the warehouse, said upon seeing August's figure.
"Spent some time, came back a bit late."
"Not late at all, not late at all."
August smiled and raised his hand. A large number of adamantite ore quickly dropped from the golden door.
In such a large warehouse, nearly a third of it was filled, showing that this batch of adamantite ore was indeed quite substantial.
"Good, good."
Gareth looked at so much adamantite ore, his face was almost wrinkled with a smile.
"The next thing, leave it to you."
"Leave it all to me. You and Ais go rest. You've been on the road for so long."
"Alright."
With the items delivered, August and Ais went back.
Only Gareth, the old dwarf, was left behind, looking at so much adamantite ore, his face full of smiles.
"Raul, go to the Hephaestus Famiia and let them come over. The goods are here."
"Huh? It's already nighttime."
"Just go, don't talk nonsense. If you say more, I'll kick you."
"Yes!"
Seeing that Gareth was about to take action, Raul hurriedly ran out.
Aki, who had just arrived here, looked at Raul at this moment, then looked at August, who hadn't walked out yet, sighed faintly. The gap was too big.
Before, she thought that Raul was quite outstanding among his peers, after all, he had reached Level 4 in just over ten years.
Now, compared to August, Raul was instantly crushed into powder.
Especially after having contact with August, the little bit of goodwill she had towards Raul disappeared completely, replaced by the figure of another man.
Poor Raul, without knowing anything, was forcibly pried away from competition.
"It's getting late, and the restaurant has no more food. Come to my place, I'll treat you to a feast."
"Okay."
Ais did not refuse. She didn't know about August's ulterior motives.
The two of them went to August's room together. Although the place was not big, it was more than enough for two people to eat. After wiping the table, August took out the gourmet food he had just obtained: roast suckling pig, pizza, along with some leftover fried chicken. Add to that some coke and white wine.
"Is this too much?"
Looking at the whole roast suckling pig, Ais was instantly surprised.
"It's okay. If you can't finish it, you can eat it tomorrow. It won't spoil overnight."
August said, opening a can of coke. For the first round, he couldn't let Ais drink white wine.
August wanted to taste it. If it was too strong, he couldn't enjoy it either. So he dismissed the idea.
Since there were no wine glasses, August took a tea cup and poured himself less than a third of a cup of white wine.
Lifting the cup, taking a small sip, he exploded.
August himself wasn't much of a drinker, he couldn't handle much beer, let alone wine, especially premium white wine.
Whether it tasted good or not, August couldn't tell. The slightly sweet fragrance and mellow taste were lost on him.
August directly put it aside. This thing wasn't suitable for him, he didn't have the taste for it.
