Urban Superpower: Starting From Mastering All Elements

Chapter 20 Let’s Not Be Fools Who Fall For Traps

In the midst of their banter, the siblings returned to the magic supplies store.

With a huge amount of money, they were ready to arm themselves again.

“Give me two sets of each of the props here!”

“I’ll have two sets of that one too!”

“Right, right. Give me ten sets of single-use beginner-level magic scrolls!”

As if they were avenging society, the siblings swept through the first three floors of the magic items store.

In the end, he even spent 20 million to buy them spatial rings.

He and Xiaoyu took one each and kept all the useful and useless items in their rings.

Of the original 550 million in his balance, less than 400 million was left.

Xu Tianci looked at the shop assistant beside him, whose face was red with excitement.

“What’s the fourth floor? Why is it so lively?”

“That’s the place to bet on equipment!” The shop assistant said as she looked at the fourth floor.

“Bet on equipment?” Xu Tianci was confused.

Then, the shop assistant explained to him how the equipment was gambled.

“So it’s an equipment blind box!”

Xu Tianci concluded after he figured it out.

In this world, equipment levels were divided into Crude, Common, Excellent, Refined, Rare, Outstanding, Perfect, Epic, and Legendary.

Different levels of equipment had different elemental bonuses.

The highest-level blind box here was rare and had a 100% elemental bonus.

The lowest crude-grade equipment only had an elemental bonus of 20%.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Xu Tianci, who had never seen this world’s blind box before, immediately pulled Xiaoyu upstairs.

As soon as he went upstairs, he saw a yellow-haired young man holding a bracelet and cheering.

“Haha, a 60% bonus accessory. I’m rich. I’m really rich this time, haha!”

The surrounding spectators were extremely envious.

“Liang is so lucky. I’m afraid he’s earned more than three times this time!”

“Yeah, that’s about it. If we put in 100 million, the bracelet can be sold for about 300 million.”

“The quality of today’s batch of blind boxes seems to be quite high. In just one morning, those people have basically made a profit.”

“No, I have to get a taste of it too. The boss! I’ll have one!”

At the counter, the boss chuckled. “100 million magic coins. Pay first, pick later. Once you’ve made your choice, there’s no refund.”

“I know. You’re so long-winded. You say the same thing every time. Here, pay up!”

After he spoke, the loudspeaker in front of the counter let out a mechanical sound that said the transfer was successful.

“I want that one, the long one. The weapon’s value is even higher!”

The man held the box he had chosen and put his hands together in worship.

[Collecting pupillary membrane, voice matching, blood test, face recognition.]

After a series of complicated identity verification, the long metal box finally responded.

[Identity verification successful, the blind box is opening…}

Ka ka ka!

After a series of metal clanking sounds, the box opened.

There was a metal staff in the box.

The boss chuckled. “Congratulations, little brother. You’ve obtained a normal-grade superalloy staff. The estimated market price is 110 million magic coins.”

The moment he saw the staff, the man let out a long sigh.

That person secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had drawn a weapon. If it had been a defensive equipment, he would have really suffered a great loss this time.

With the appearance of a money-making item, the entire fourth floor became lively.

People stepped forward to pay for the blind boxes as if they didn’t cost anything.

Xu Tianci, on the other hand, looked at the blind box on the shelf.

Just as he was carefully examining it, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.

[Light Wind Boots]

[Equipment level: Crude]

[Speed bonus: 20%]

[Special introduction: Beginner-level defensive equipment made of alloy. Recommended for modified soldiers.]

Huh?

What was going on?

He could actually see the information of the items in the box?

Startled, Xu Tianci quickly looked at the box beside him.

[Tears of Water]

[Equipment level: Excellent]

[Water element condensation: 60%]

[Assembly position: Necklace]

[Skill: Water healing, 0/3]

[Special introduction: The siren’s core that has been specially polished.]

Xu Tianci’s breathing grew heavy. His system was really a treasure. It could actually scan the items in the blind box.

Xu Tianci saw the project to make a fortune. After one round.

Among the 200 items, Xu Tianci found two pieces of rare equipment, five pieces of refined equipment, 23 pieces of excellent equipment, and 45 pieces of normal equipment. The rest were all crude-grade.

Among the two pieces of rare equipment was a short staff, and the other was a breastplate. “This thing is still the most profitable! If we sell this house, we’ll make close to 10 billion in net profit!”

Xu Tianci exclaimed.

Xiaoyu stood beside him and watched the others open the blind boxes with great interest. “Brother, do you want to buy it too?” Even though she was rich now, spending over a hundred million at one go still pained her. Xu Tianci touched his sister’s hair. He smiled and comforted her. “I’m so lucky today. Maybe I’ll get a big prize. Even if I don’t make any money, we can use it for ourselves!”

“Then… Alright, you can only buy one!” Xiaoyu furrowed her brows and agreed to her brother’s decision.

“Brother, which one do you like? Why don’t we choose a big box as well? Those people have almost robbed all the big boxes!”

would “We can’t choose the big one. Those people are all aiming for weapons. Which merchant be stupid enough to put their weapons in there? This is just a trick to catch big fish.”

“Oh, that’s true. We can’t be that kind of fool!” The siblings spoke quietly.

However, the entire fourth floor was only so big, so it was hard not to hear them.

The faces of those who were originally full of excitement instantly darkened. Who are these two brats calling fools?

However, after seeing the siblings’ unique temperament, they immediately wilted. The boss at the counter twitched his mouth.

Why didn’t these two siblings understand the logic of seeing through but not saying it? When he saw Xu Tianci walking over, the boss still smiled and said, “What’s wrong, little brother? Want to test your luck?”

“Yup!” Xu Tianci nodded and pointed at the 11 small box in the corner. “I’ll take it. I’m still lacking an arm guard.’ The excellent-grade short staff lay quietly in the box.

The young man who called them fools had chosen such a small box.

The people around him immediately looked at him with contempt. They had been using the blind box for a long time but had never seen anything good come out of it.

The same expression appeared on the boss’s face.

The Empire’s equipment department had uniformly made the blind boxes, and he didn’tknow what was in each. However, when the equipment department provided the goods, they told him that the rare-grade equipment in this batch of blind boxes was a staff and armor.

He didn’t even need to think to know that the box the young man chose wouldn’t have anything good.

[Identity verification successful, the blind box is opening…] The box was slowly opened.

A short wooden staff came into everyone’s sight.

The beautiful arc, the perfect shape, and the powerful magical wave!

A rare-grade staff!

For a moment, the entire fourth floor was silent.
