Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 1 The Occasionally Unreliable System

Hongchen Sword Realm, No. 523131241 Novice Village, Tianxing Island, at the foot of Boiling Blood Lion Mountain.

Lu Chao stood expressionless, like a wooden statue.

"Hey bro, hurry up and choose a class!"

"What are you waiting for? We agreed to pick Aatrox, hurry up!"

"Hey bro, show some team spirit, be reliable!"

Seven players urged Lu Chao on from the top.

Lu Chao rubbed his temples.

There is a giant sword statue in front of him, where players can choose a job. Normally, there are four job options for players: [Sword Immortal], [Sword Saint], [Sword God], and [Sword Demon].

The other seven players who arrived with Lu Chaoding have already chosen their classes: four Sword Gods, two Sword Saints, and one Sword Demon!

Now it's his turn to choose a class, and as previously agreed, he's going to choose Sword Demon.

but……

The giant sword statue flashed with golden light, and a system announcement rang out: "Congratulations to player Lu Chaoding for becoming a Sword Immortal!"

"What the hell?! Why did you choose a sword immortal?!"

"Dude, are you deliberately causing trouble?"

"We agreed on Sword Demon, why did you choose that trash Sword Immortal?!"

"How can we form a double team if we're missing a Sword Demon?"

"Are you messing with us?"

"What a rip-off!"

The other players around were furious when they saw that Lu Chao had chosen the Sword Immortal. They jumped up and down and cursed loudly.

Lu Chao put his hands in his pockets, feigning ignorance, and said, "My hand slipped, my hand slipped..."

He felt wronged.

I don't want to screw you guys over!

I had no choice!

I have a problem I can't explain!

Yesterday, Lu Chaoding was a kind-hearted and good young man on Earth, but when he woke up this morning, he found himself in a dark room and encountered a system that looked like a light bulb.

The system told him that the newly discovered real game world under the Order, [Hongchen Sword Realm], was about to be put into public beta and was planned to be opened to Earth players. He had obtained the game qualification and could explore this new world with human players from all over the universe.

But just as the system was guiding him into the game world, it suddenly encountered a mysterious malfunction. In short, the system said it had given up setting up servers on Earth, and Lu Chaoding became the first and last Earth player in the [Hongchen Sword Realm].

Even more outrageous, just now, Lu Chaoding discovered that he was actually bound to an "occasionally unreliable system".

=====

Occasionally unreliable system: Apart from being occasionally unreliable, this system has no other problems.

System Function: In order to provide players with a better gaming experience, this system will hijack the Hongchen Sword Realm game system to automatically tamper with task content, task objectives, and task rewards.

Current task tracking: [Job Admission]

Task Description: Choose one of the four professions: Sword Immortal, Sword Saint, Sword God, or Sword Demon. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with one lottery ticket.

Modified content: Choose one of the four professions: Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with a dubious lottery ticket.

=====

Lu Chaoding was stunned.

Damn it, they only let you choose the Sword Immortal!

What can we do?

"This damn system is definitely a half-finished product! If it keeps altering missions like this, how can we possibly have any fun playing it?"

Lu Chao felt very uneasy.

At this moment, a tall player next to him pressed down his palm, signaling everyone to be quiet. He said loudly, "Alright, alright, if he chooses Sword Immortal, then he chooses Sword Immortal. After all, among the eight of us, there's still one Sword Demon like me. So, everyone, let's go draw the prizes together. Come over to this prize pool!"

As he spoke, the man beckoned everyone to the gleaming crystal platform to the side.

Lu Chao followed for a few steps and immediately saw the attribute information of the crystal platform.

=====

Name: Destiny Platform

Function: [Resurrection Point] Players can bind this resurrection point.

Function: [Quick Recovery] Players can quickly recover health points at the Destiny Platform.

Function: [Regular Prize Pool] Players can use lottery tickets to draw prizes here. There is a high chance of obtaining a one-star item (white light), a small chance of obtaining a two-star item (green light), a tiny chance of obtaining a three-star item (blue light), a very small chance of obtaining a four-star item (purple light), and an extremely small chance of obtaining a five-star item (gold light).

Limited-time privilege one: During the one-month beginner period, you can draw prizes here. Ten draws guarantee a green item, one hundred draws guarantee a blue item, one thousand draws guarantee a purple item, and ten thousand draws guarantee a gold item.

Limited-time privilege two: During the one-month beginner period, the chance of obtaining the five-star weapon [Royal Dragon], the four-star costume [Divine Insight], the three-star weapon [Taiyi Splitting Light], and the three-star costume [Vanguard Robe] will be greatly increased when you draw prizes here.

=====

Just after reviewing the attributes of the Fate Platform, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, you have discovered the Fate Platform. Receive the task [Lottery]: Use a lottery ticket to draw a prize at the Fate Platform. Reward for completing the task: +10 gold coins."

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has been activated, updating the tracking task and altering the task content: Use a lottery ticket to draw a prize at the Destiny Platform. The reward for completing the task is -10 gold coins."

"You son of a bitch..."

Lu Chao's eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood!

The bonus will be reduced by 10!

Is this unreliable?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Can a reduction of ten gold coins be called a reward?

Can you please stop harming the host?

"Damn system, with you ruining everything, what's the point of me playing anymore!"

Lu Chaoding stopped in his tracks.

Is this prize still up for grabs?

At this moment, the tall player who had spoken earlier had already walked onto the crystal platform. His face was beaming with joy as he cupped his hands to the crowd below and said, "Friends from the starry universe, it's a pleasure to meet you all here! To be honest, I am Zhao Weike, the little prince of the Bichon Kingdom on Titan Star, and I have had the privilege of experiencing three closed beta tests!"

Immediately, people in the audience cheered and jumped for joy.

"I'm actually from the same village as one of the beta testers!"

"From now on, I'll be following this big shot. Please guide me!"

"That's it!"

"Please carry me!"

"I heard that beta testers get ten lottery tickets at the start, is that true?"

"It's true!" Zhao Weike said with a bright smile, continuing, "As the saying goes, meeting is fate. From now on, we'll be the closest of partners. I hope we can all work together to complete the beginner village storyline as soon as possible, and then venture into the vast world. Now, I'll start with a ten-pull to liven things up!"

"Thumbs up!"

"support!"

"Wishing you the best of luck in getting that perfect shot!"

"Draw gold, draw gold..."

The crowd below the stage erupted in shouts, like mindless fans.

Lu Chao thought to himself with disdain, "Isn't this just 'card drawing'? Everyone's seen it before, why are you so excited?"

Soon, Zhao Weike took out ten lottery tickets and generously threw them out.

hum!

Accompanied by a soft, bell-like sound, the clouds in mid-air dispersed, and then nine white lights and one green light descended from the sky.

"Nine whites and one green!"

"Ten pulls guarantee a minimum!"

"His Highness's luck is so-so!"

"Let's see what's available?"

The crowd below cheered again.

Lu Chao thought to himself that the lottery effects were alright, and he also looked at the stage out of curiosity.

Ten orbs of light appeared in front of Zhao Weike, nine white and one green. He clicked on them one by one, and items appeared one after another, with large characters floating above the items.

"Compressed biscuits!"

"An ordinary iron sword!"

"One gold dollar!"

"Refined iron ingots!"

"Compressed biscuits!"

"Brass ingots!"

"Black iron ingots!"

"Compressed biscuits!"

"Dried cured pork!"

"Combat Technique Manual: Blood Shield!"

The two-star item among them was the combat skill manual, [Blood Shield].

On the Heavenly Fate Platform, upon seeing the lottery results, Zhao Weike remarked, "The lottery mechanism of the Hongchen Sword Realm is utterly unreliable. I've already done very well; I got a two-star combat skill and an iron sword. I'm quite satisfied!"

He quickly put away his prize and said to the crowd, "It's your turn!"

"Alright, I'll go!" A short, chubby male player stepped onto the Destiny Platform. "My name is Zhang Defa, from the Lucky Star, Country of Frogs. Wish me luck!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Defa threw out a lottery ticket and looked up at the sky with anticipation, only to be met with a blinding white light!

He was delighted to receive a compressed biscuit!

"Oh my god, what kind of lottery is this? It's so unreliable!"

Zhang Defa's face turned dejected, and he left the Heavenly Mandate Platform cursing.

The next few players went up on stage one after another, each one full of ambition before drawing prizes, but they all ended up with nothing, and almost all of them drew useless items.

Soon, all seven players had finished drawing their prizes, but Lu Chaoding remained standing motionless in the audience, his hands still in his pockets.

"Hey, you over there, it's your turn!"

"Brother Sword Immortal, it's time for the lottery!"

"It'll just be a waste of time even if you smoke it!"

"This lottery is so unreliable..."

"A bunch of Africans!" Lu Chao shouted at them, his heart wavering slightly. He thought to himself, "Maybe I should try my luck..."

Zhao Weike then urged Lu Chao, "We have to draw sooner or later, so let's hurry up! After we draw, we'll split up and run dungeons. There are so many newbie villages and so many players; the competition will be fierce. We need to act quickly!"

Lu Chao nodded, thinking that Zhao Weike was right. He had to draw a prize sooner or later, and he couldn't just give up drawing prizes for the rest of his life for ten yuan.

With this in mind, he took out the [Unreliable Lottery Ticket] from his storage space.

This lottery ticket looks exactly the same as other players' lottery tickets, but its attribute information is very different.

[Unreliable Lottery Ticket: Allows one draw at the Destiny Platform after use. The winning probability is randomly generated, ignoring pity systems and other lottery mechanics. Random Effect: Significantly increases the chance of drawing three-star items!]

"Randomly generated winning probabilities? Significantly increased chance of drawing three-star items?"

Lu Chaoding's heart skipped a beat.

"That sounds really unusual. How about I try it? I don't have a single gold coin right now. Even if they deduct ten yuan, they can't possibly make me a negative asset, can they?"

With this in mind, he stepped onto the Destiny Platform and said, "Do you all know what it means to be a lucky winner!"

After saying that, he threw out the unreliable lottery ticket in his hand. As the lottery ticket turned into light and disappeared, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and then a dazzling blue light shot out like a divine arrow, falling straight down in front of Lu Chao and turning into a blue ball of light.
