Magnolia teleported to Shanhai City with a gift for Ouyang Shuo. It was a purple-gold accessory dropped by Lord Chunshen after his death.
[Name]: Golden Qilin Seal (Purple Gold)
[Type]: Accessory
[Characteristics]: Demon Suppression and Exorcism (Untainted by all evil)
[Evaluation]: This is a sealed Golden Emperor Seal. It can only be unsealed by the soul of the Qilin Protector. After it is completely unsealed, it can protect the fate of a country. It is a supreme treasure.
Ouyang Shuo's heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of something – the Imperial Jade Seal.
Five years ago, Di Chen's Handan City was the first to establish a nation. To establish a nation, besides the capital and the title of nobility, two other items were required: the imperial edict and the Imperial Jade Seal.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect Lord Chunshen to obtain such a treasure.
The Golden Qilin Seal was enough to make Lord Chunshen's heart ache.
If Lord Chunshen knew the true use of the seal, he would probably cry himself to sleep in the toilet.
Unfortunately, the seal could only be unsealed by the soul of the Qilin. Qilins were ancient auspicious beasts. To find a Qilin and have it willingly offer itself was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
The Golden Qilin Seal was a treasure that could protect the fate of a country. Even if it was sealed, it could not be kept in a storage bag. It could only be worn on one's body. Otherwise, Lord Chunshen would not have dropped it.
Fortunately, the seal was not large. It was stored in a golden pouch that could be easily hung on one's waist.
Gaia Year 2, 20th of February, New Year's Eve.
Shanhai City was brightly lit. The city was filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
Firecrackers were set off and music was played.
In the main hall of the Marquis's Residence, Ouyang Shuo held a banquet with his officials.
On both sides of the main hall, famous people and fierce generals gathered.
Accompanied by singing and dancing, exquisite delicacies were placed on the table.
Delicacies, wine and delicacies were everywhere.
Even a year ago, Ouyang Shuo would not have dared to imagine such a grand occasion.
The only regret was that Song Jia was not here. At this time, Song Jia had barged into a farm in the mountains. There, she would spend an unforgettable New Year's Eve.
Not only Shanhai City, but the entire China region was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
This was the first time China region's players celebrated the New Year in the game.
Whether it was the national channel or the forums, they were all bustling with activity.
From time to time, fireworks could be seen in the silent wilderness, lighting up the night sky.
Both adventurer players and overlord players were celebrating the Spring Festival in their own ways.
The nine royal cities were bustling with activity, almost occupied by players.
Following the customs of the natives and spending the Spring Festival with their families in the historical city was indeed a different experience for the players.
The thick atmosphere of the Lunar New Year in the game completely awakened the players' memories of the year.
Some of the elderly were even filled with emotion, and some of them were even quietly wiping away tears.
The taste of the Lunar New Year was truly precious.
As for the children, they were even happier. Groups of people were holding small firecrackers or fireworks as they walked through the ancient streets and alleys, experiencing a new year that was completely different from the modern cities.
Bing'er gobbled a few mouthfuls of rice and ran away like a monkey, disappearing without a trace.
For the children, this was a real moment of joy.
This was the first time that players in the China server were unable to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
Therefore, after the New Year's Eve dinner, the players always felt uneasy, as if something was missing. In addition, they didn't have mobile phones and couldn't snatch red packets, so the young people felt even more uneasy.
They felt uneasy all over.
Fortunately, be it the various territories or the royal cities, they had set up stage after stage, allowing some opera fans to feast their eyes and forget about the regrets of the Spring Festival Gala.
After the banquet ended, the people of the Lianzhou Marquis's Mansion also moved to the square to watch the wonderful opera performance.
The performing troupe not only included the pillars of the opera building, but also the troupe sponsored by the various large chambers of commerce. Not only in the square of the Marquis's Mansion, but in other streets, there were also opera troupes of various sizes.
As the overlord, Ouyang Shuo naturally had to share the joy with the people.
After the New Year's Eve dinner with their families, the players had nothing to do, so they went to the forums to chat.
For a moment, they felt a little bored.
At this time, the players especially hoped that Gaia would launch some Spring Festival activities.
On New Year's Eve, Nian would naturally be a program.
The only special event was Shanhai City.
Because Nian was already the guardian beast of the territory, no Nian would come here.
To ordinary players, Nian was too rare, so they could not enjoy themselves to the fullest. Some players went to the forums and made a ruckus, requesting Gaia to organize some Spring Festival activities that could be participated by all.
In fact, Gaia had really prepared a huge surprise for the players of the China server.
At 9 PM sharp, a system announcement sounded on time.
"System Announcement: Gaia Year 2, 20th of February, 9 PM sharp, Nian will descend upon the wilderness. All overlords, please prepare in advance!"
…
The Nian's Spring Festival activity had officially begun.
This time, Ouyang Shuo was a complete bystander. Along with Ouyang Shuo, there was a large group of ordinary players. As they were unable to participate in the Nian event, they were making a ruckus on the forums.
Ten minutes later, just as some players were bored to death, another system announcement sounded.
"System Announcement: Gaia Year 2, 20th of February is the traditional Spring Festival Gala's Eve. In order to add to the festive atmosphere, in ten minutes, the system will start the Spring Festival Red Packet Snatching event. Please look forward to it! "
…
The moment the announcement was made, the players became excited.
Red packet snatching was a memorable phrase. Without much embellishment, it was enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the players for the Spring Festival.
Along with the system announcement, the details of the red packet snatching event were also released.
As Ouyang Shuo watched the opera performance, he logged into the forums. Magnolia, who was sitting beside him, had long been immersed in the forums. The young lady had no interest in opera.
In fact, there was a similar activity in his previous life. Ouyang Shuo logged into the forums to confirm it.
Actually, the so-called red packet snatching event was simple.
First, the participating players had to voluntarily give a red packet to Gaia. There was no limit to the amount of red packets, but the minimum amount could not be less than one silver coin. There was no upper limit.
[Gaia] would collect all the Red Envelopes and distribute the funds randomly to every participating player.
There were more than a hundred million players in the China server. Even if each of them gave one silver coin, it was still a million gold coins.
If one was lucky, they could win the jackpot. If one only gave one silver coin to Gaia, they might receive a red packet of 1,000 gold coins or even 10000 gold coins. It was a true jackpot.
Of course, if one was unlucky, they might only receive one copper coin.
This kind of game was truly suitable for everyone to participate in. It also had a bit of a gambling nature, just like buying a lottery ticket in real life. Naturally, it was popular among all the players.
Of course, some players might make small calculations and make up their minds to give Gaia one silver coin. Even if they were unlucky, they would not suffer any losses.
Gaia was obviously very proud of this.
There was another interesting setting in the rules. If a player gave a red packet to Gaia, the larger the amount, the higher the chance of receiving a lottery ticket from Gaia.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of the players, there was a hard rule. As long as the red packet reached 100 gold coins, they would definitely receive a lottery ticket.
If the red packet was large enough, there was even a chance of receiving several lottery tickets.
Not only that, but the lottery tickets were also divided into levels. They were the same as the level of the equipment, ranging from bronze to purple gold. Of course, there was no god tier. Otherwise, it would destroy the balance of the game.
Gaia also explained the function of the lottery ticket.
Lucky draw tickets were naturally used for lucky draws.
At ten o 'clock sharp, the players who obtained the lottery ticket could participate in the lottery roulette. The prizes prepared by Gaia numbered in the tens of thousands. There were equipment, techniques, skill books, special items, and so on.
The items inside included ordinary Black Iron equipment, secret realm scrolls, Emperor-tier techniques, and other valuable items that were truly attractive.
The value of some of the items was comparable to the ones auctioned in the second system auction.
Gaia made it clear that the higher the grade of the lottery ticket, the higher the probability of drawing a valuable item.
Of course, even the lowest-ranked Bronze Lottery Ticket had a chance of drawing a Purple Gold item. However, the probability was similar to the probability of winning the first prize in the lottery in real life.
This interesting rule completely ignited the enthusiasm of the rich players. The game inside was too complicated. It was not something that could be solved with a small calculation.
Gaia's setting was clearly very interesting. It took into account players of all levels. Those who were not rich could play small to win big. They might really win a gold coin.
At the very least, they could treat it as buying a lottery ticket.
Those who had some assets could gamble on their luck and try to obtain a high-level lottery ticket.
For a time, the China server's players were all attracted by the red packet snatching event.
From now on, players could send red packets to Gaia. Every player only had one chance. After the red packet was sent, the amount could not be changed, and a second red packet could not be sent.
There was only one chance.
Gaia set the deadline for the red packet snatching event at 9: 50 p.m.
"Big Brother Wuyi, how much are you going to bet?" Mu Lanyue couldn't help but ask Ouyang Shuo after reading the details of the event.
It wasn't just Mu Lanyue. At this moment, all the players in the China server were probably discussing the same question.
The Mountain and Sea Alliance's channel instantly became lively.
Some of the players who had been lurking around for a long time also popped up, excitedly discussing how much they should bet. If they gave too much, what if they only got an ordinary equipment? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
If they gave too little, they wouldn't be willing to accept it.
After all, the temptation of a Purple Gold ranked item was obvious for all to see.
Which player didn't have some fantasy in their heart? There were many players who gritted their teeth and spent 100 gold coins for a lottery ticket. If he really got it, wouldn't he become rich overnight and reach the heavens in a single step?
The players in the China server were suffering and happy at the same time.
Not only that, Gaia also made a big move. Gaia specially opened a broadcasting channel. As long as the amount bet was more than 500 gold coins, the name would appear on the channel. This was what the players called "appearing on TV".
In this way, it made the hearts of the richer people itch unbearably.
For a time, the information in the channel was refreshed crazily. A large number of names appeared on TV. (To be continued.)
