### Chapter 111: Let the Fun Begin!
The next few days zoomed by, until Xu Xiaofeng learned that the first batch of weapons was ready. The enchanting process was completed as planned, but half of the enchanters were now just babbling nonsense.
Xu Xiaofeng casually handed over another fifty thousand gold coins for them to split.
But really, that hundred thousand was just pocket change—the real cost was in the enchanting materials.
No one was willing to enchant blue gear primarily because the material costs were two to three times the value of the equipment itself.
The first batch of equipment needing enchantment was about ten thousand pieces. Blue gear cost around two to three hundred gold coins each, so there was some room to save. Then, purple gear started at over ten thousand gold coins each, leading to a grand total of over three million!
Adding in the previous spending on equipment, Xu Xiaofeng’s little treasure chest was utterly emptied.
Thank goodness the investment was smooth sailing; she was about to see returns in no time.
Tomorrow was the grand opening, so today she had Xu Xiaoyue shamelessly drum up some hype.
“Reliable news, absolutely reliable news! Tomorrow, the big event is here!”
“Free gear giveaways! Yes, you heard it right, FREE! If it ain’t free, you can call me by my last name!”
“Word on the street is this event is fun, exciting, and will give you that exhilarating rush of sweeping through the skies!”
“And this little one is not just a gear giveaway; we’re also giving out affection points! Be sure to thank your dear little sister!”
By now, everyone knew the game developers’ reputation. Relying on the fact that they had no competitors, they acted like they owned the place.
Aside from a grand promotional blitz before the launch, they dropped absolutely zero hints about any post-launch activities.
Players had no choice but to rely on little rumors.
And rumors are just that—rumors, meaning the credibility was about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. These kinds of news flooded the forums daily.
Like, “My friend is a planner; the next BOSS is an Ice Dragon!” or “My uncle is in development; you can upgrade white gear to gold gear!” and, “My second cousin is a security guard for the dev company; this is all a scam game, you guys just fell victim to the Moon Reading!”
Compared to that, what Little Moon leaked was practically gospel truth.
“Hey, streamer, are you an undercover official?”
“I wish! If I were, you’d see me hugging my little sister 24/7!”
“Streamer, seriously, do you have no clue what’s happening tomorrow?”
“Bro, that’s a dangerous thought. This is business secret stuff. I’m just an outsider with some connections. If I spill the beans, I’m getting a lawyer’s letter! So, do you know how much pressure I’m under? Let’s start those donations!”
But Xu Xiaoyue truly had no clue. She even asked her brother, and he just shrugged, “Dunno, what can I do?”
Finally, the long-awaited day arrived, and players rushed online like kids in a candy store, heading straight to the plaza where the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister usually streamed. They were immediately captivated by the stacks of covered items draped in black cloth.
Last night, or rather near noon in real life, some players had spotted it and shared screenshots on the forum, sparking a flurry of speculation.
But come on, during the day, everyone had their own lives to juggle; it was hard to make out from mere pictures, and in-game it was nighttime, so it was even harder to figure things out.
Now, seeing it all firsthand made it abundantly clear.
Holy guacamole, there’s so much!
If Little Moon’s livestream leaks were right, and these were all gear giveaways, wouldn’t that mean a rocket to the moon?!
Such beautiful thoughts, but can we be realistic here?
Yes, gear distribution was definitely happening, but what constitutes “giving away”? One piece? Two pieces?
Who knows!
If you cared enough to come here, maybe you’ll snag a freebie—but if you don’t show up? Forget about it!
After much anticipation, the Nuclear Bomb Little Sister finally made her grand entrance.
Xu Xiaofeng poked her head out and was instantly stunned by the huge crowd: “Whoa, so many people!”
And the plaza felt small; there were even more people outside, trying their best to squeeze in.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoyue kicked off the live stream, changing the title to: “Today’s the Event!”
This way, everyone outside could see what was going on inside.
So, under the spotlight, Xu Xiaofeng rummaged through her little bamboo basket and pulled out a paper, sticking it onto a nearby board.
“I got a big commission and hope the big brothers and sisters will show their support!”
At that moment, every gaze and camera focused on that paper like it was the last piece of cake at a party.
“Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce Grand Beneficiary Discount Event!!!
To thank all you adventurers for your support and ensure you’re well-prepared for upcoming challenges, our Qingfeng Chamber has specially gathered a super lot of gear for you all.
We’ve also invited everyone’s favorite little adventurer to be our event guest, hoping to provide everyone with a better experience.
Specific event rules are as follows:
1. The event follows the goddess of fortune’s preferential treatment, allowing adventurers to choose rewards from identical boxes. Whether it’s good or bad depends on the goddess’s favor.
2. Participants will draw lots to determine the order of engaging in the event.
3. During each event, you may choose one, ten, twenty, or a maximum of thirty rewards.
4. Every time, there will be extra rewards from our special guests. If the goddess truly smiles upon you, male adventurers may get a handshake, while female adventurers can score a hug!
5. It costs four hundred gold coins to open one reward, four thousand for ten. The second ten will cost five thousand, and the third set of ten will be six thousand.
Note: These rules apply to events at our Qingfeng Chamber locations. For info on other stores, please refer to in-store notices.”
Players stared at these rules, initially bursting with excitement.
This was the real deal— free gear!
But as they read further, things started to feel off. What’s with the single draw? The ten draws? A max of thirty draws?
Holy moly! The fourth point must refer to gaining affection points! It has to! Plus, scoring a grand prize could mean cuddling up close to the little sister!!!
Then…
Whoa, isn’t this just drawing cards?!
“Oh, and I forgot to post another notice.”
Xu Xiaofeng hung up another paper, revealing the draw probabilities.
Five-star: 0.6%, four-star: 20%, the rest is three-star…
This is some next-level darkness!
Learning from the worst instead of the best, this is something else!
The players lit up the forums, unleashing their grievances, but while they were lost in their spirited rants, one particular line popped up.
“The first ten signups get it for free!”
In that instant, countless eyes turned sharp and focused on the Little Loli.
But some were quick enough to seize the moment.
“I’m first!”
Without a second thought, Xu Xiaoyue leaped forward.
Soon, the other quick thinkers jumped in. The ten slots filled up in no time.
Those who missed out groaned, “Why did I even bother posting on the forums earlier?!”
Once their regret settled in, they opened the forums again and cranked up their comments even more!
