#136 - Gachapon Carnival (Please Order)
The comments section exploded with amazement: "Holy crap? There's something like this underground?"
The four streamers and their viewers stared in surprise at the gacha machine before them.
The gacha machine stood approximately three meters tall, constructed from ancient bronze and covered in vine patterns.
The upper half of the machine was a semi-circular glass dome, inside which were arranged giant gacha balls, shimmering with different colors and patterns.
The base of the machine was an exquisite control panel.
With a gesture from the Land Feather Demon, the gacha machine began to rotate slowly, emitting a deep mechanical sound.
Chief Ju opened his microphone and said, "Everyone, to be on the safe side, let's dodge the gacha balls first, and then decide what to do based on what comes out."
The four players and their spirits increased their efforts to dodge.
However, these gacha balls seemed to be able to track the characters, and the judgment of fate descended upon each of them.
Chief Ju's Thunder Wolf was the first to be hit by a gacha ball, the huge ball striking its body and releasing a dazzling light.
The Thunder Wolf was enveloped within, its body began to tremble slightly, it whimpered softly, completely breaking free from Chief Ju's control, and turned to flee, like an obedient kitten.
A debuff description appeared on its body:
[Fear]: Unable to control your actions, flee from battle.
Next, it was Old Goose's Desert Scorpion, a gacha ball slamming heavily onto its hard carapace, producing a crisp impact sound.
Amidst the dust and sand, the Desert Scorpion also abandoned the pursuit of the BOSS, and began to frantically dig into the ground to escape.
Shadow Cat was not spared either, struck by a gacha ball, its body was shrouded in black mist, and its figure quickly disappeared.
Snowball and Flower Fairy, however, were blessed by the god of fortune.
Flower Fairy leaped nimbly, a gacha ball bursting open beneath her petals, releasing a colorful light, and she gained a buff:
[Indestructible]: Greatly increases defense.
On the other side, Snowball also received a new buff:
[Life Leech]: Damage dealt will be converted into health recovery at a certain percentage.
The comments section erupted with laughter:
"Wow, they say fools have fool's luck, and silly babies too."
"Hahaha, Old Goose's scorpion ran away, so hilarious!"
"Pfft, Thunder Wolf is so cute, it got scared and turned into a big kitty!"
"Flower Fairy and Snowball actually got all positive buffs, does this gacha machine have favorites?"
"The problem is, the useful buffs all went to the atmosphere team, how the heck are we supposed to fight?"
Chief Ju became serious: "I really don't believe it!"
At this time, the useful combat power on the field was only G Sauce's Giant Claw Crab · Masao and Chief Ju's Frost Spider.
The two of them began to tacitly divide the work in the voice chat.
"G Sauce, I'll have Frost Spider pick out the gacha balls, and throw the good ones to your crab."
Frost Spider's body shimmered with a cold blue light, and it quickly sprayed a cloud of frost mist at the newly falling negative effect gacha balls, slowing their descent.
In the process, it knocked out many gacha balls like [Poison] and [Weakness].
Upon seeing a green glowing buff gacha ball, Frost Spider would quickly spray out new spider silk, causing the gacha ball to rotate and change its trajectory, sliding to the side of Giant Claw Crab · Masao.
Subsequently, G Sauce controlled Masao to open and eat all of these gacha balls.
Soon, the Giant Claw Crab had accumulated three buffs:
[Gale Force]: Increases movement speed, making the spirit more agile.
[Swift Recovery]: Restores health, lasting for a period of time.
[Mystic Phantom]: Creates clones, distracting enemies and greatly increasing damage output.
The Swift Recovery effect caused the crab's health bar to continuously rise.
Its giant claws clamped suddenly, slashing through the air like lightning, rapidly approaching the Land Feather Demon.
Immediately afterwards, the Mystic Phantom buff took effect.
Masao quickly waved its giant claws, splitting into three clones, immediately diverting the Land Feather Demon's aggro, causing it to attack randomly.
The three clones simultaneously wielded their giant claws to launch attacks, the sound of air being torn apart echoed in the air, each attack dealing considerable damage.
The Land Feather Demon began to feel immense pressure.
It tried to dodge Masao's attacks, but due to the existence of the clones, there was always one claw that could accurately hit.
With its health bar visibly decreasing, the Land Feather Demon roared in anger!
The audience's appetite was also piqued:
"The Land Feather Demon is starting to suffer, go go Little Dumpling, go go Masao, give it your all!"
"This BOSS mechanism design is so innovative, the gacha machine is also a highlight!"
"All kinds of BUFF effects are so distinct, it really tests teamwork!"
"Looking at the rule design of various gacha balls, it can be seen that the combat planner has put a lot of effort into it, it's much better than some domestic game's PVE."
With the cooperation of Chief Ju and G Sauce, they finally endured until the BOSS's fourth stage.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
"Everything in the universe, obey my commands. Work and rest complement each other, to achieve victory."
The Land Feather Demon issued a chant like an ancient bell and drum, waving its wings, black particles emanating an even more intense and mysterious aura.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly reached a new level of tension.
Because, judging from the EASTJOY promotional video's revelations, this should be the BOSS's final stage.
The dawn of victory is right before their eyes!
The Land Feather Demon's wings were raised high, and black annihilation light spewed out from its wings, forming a clock-shaped spacetime vortex.
In the center of the vortex was an ancient clock, its hands constantly turning, emitting a ticking sound.
G Sauce and the other three were sucked into the vortex by an irresistible force, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in a completely different dimension.
Each person was assigned to a different themed alternate space.
G Sauce's space featured a comfortable bed floating in mid-air, covered with a soft feather blanket, moonlight shining through the window onto the bed, and a tranquil starry sky outside the window.
She almost had the illusion that she had traveled to another game.
The game popped up a prompt:
[Here is the Dream Realm, good sleep is for better work, please perform a sleeping action before the countdown ends.]
Among the other three streamers, Wang Tomato was assigned to the "Meditation Realm", in a secluded bamboo forest, Wang Tomato sat on a smooth bluestone, bamboo leaves swaying in the wind, making rustling sounds.
Chief Ju was assigned to the "Feast Realm", in a magnificent banquet hall, Chief Ju sat at the dining table, his table filled with various delicacies, he needed to eat quickly.
Old Goose was assigned to the "Lazy Realm", in a sunny and spacious flower garden, Old Goose looked bewildered.
G Sauce quickly understood and shouted in the voice channel:
"We need to complete the specified rest actions according to the prompts within the vortex, such as sleeping, meditating, eating, stretching..."
"Only by completing the rest before the vortex disappears can we pass safely, otherwise we will be bound by the time vortex."
At the beginning, the streamers were able to easily complete basic relaxation actions, but as the BOSS's skills continued to chant, the required relaxation actions became more and more difficult.
These relaxation actions were obtained from daily exploration related to farming, players who focus on relic challenges and mine exploration may not have enough proficiency.
Soon, everyone began to make mistakes.
G Sauce tried to do yoga, but accidentally fell to the ground; Old Goose tried hard to arrange flowers, but the petals fell one after another; Chief Ju frantically tried to make desserts, but could never make anything decent, and was completely trapped by the vortex.
Without the trainers' command, the spirits were also exhausted, their health reduced, and the team was on the verge of being wiped out.
Just as the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was becoming more and more desperate, everyone was surprised to find that Wang Tomato's spirits, Flower Fairy and Snowball, were still persisting on the field.
The two cute pets were calm and composed, leisurely strolling and acting cute on the field.
"Flower Fairy~"
"Snowball~"
Wang Tomato had always been a Buddhist-style, farming-focused, slacker player.
Therefore, he easily completed the requirements within the vortex, which also allowed his spirits to become the only two characters still standing on the field.
Even more surprising was that the buff bonuses that these two spirits had received in the previous gacha rewards were still in effect!
Flower Fairy's body emitted an earthy yellow glow, and her dancing petals radiated brilliant light, transforming into a thick shield, [Indestructible] greatly increasing her defense.
